It’s under new ownership - it needs time to find its inner foodie- slow inexperienced service - food is not very good - drinks are not consistent- they should close- finish renovations and re open - but they will get it right

The restaurant is now under new management so the menu is completely changed. There are no kid options, which we found out after we ordered drinks. They also ran out of Italian dressing which is the only dressing my daughter will eat. We asked 2 times for a straw for my daughter, that never came. There was another family with kids that came and left before ordering anything. To top it all off my daughter slipped in the parking lot and left with a bloody lip.

Not even worth a star. Sat us after 5 minutes just waiting without acknowledgement even though it was not full at all. We were not acknowledged until almost half hour later BUT ONLY BECAUSE I ASKED IF SOMEONE WAS GOING TO SERVE US. Mind you, they totaled out the table right next to us a few minutes after we were seated so they knew we were there. The room was absolutely freezing, no heat. I ordered and immediately he says, we just sold out of chicken. This is a Saturday night. We order steaks and I can't even describe what came out. A TV dinner tastes better than what we were served but I asked for steak sauce and ketchup to try to at least try to stomach it. Ten minutes later, he gives me some ketchup packets and says he's looking for steak sauce. I also ask why the sweet potato came out without the butter. He says they don't do anything to the potatoes and I respond but in the menu it says sweet potato with cinnamon butter... that's all I'm asking for. We attempted to eat the steak which tasted like it was boiled in water but it was just so bad that we finally gave up because we were legitimately worried about ruining our stomachs. We asked for the check and to have the onions that never even came out removed. The waiter charged for one meal as even he knew how horrible everything was. In all honesty, we should have just walked out. It was a nightmare experience from beginning to end. Horrible service, freezing cold, the cook must have run away and a sub came in, no chicken to be found and what was with the Christmas decorations in February? Please save yourselves and yes, as the waiter said, he was sorry for ruining my birthday. Just don't do it.

We were there at an odd time of day. Not lunch not dinner. We were the only people in the place.
The food was good. A bit over priced, but most resturants are these days.

The service was excellent. Server was very attentive, checking g in on us regularly.

My wife really enjoyed the Queen cut of Prime Rib. I had the hamburger which was also delicious.

I recommend this place, but will likely only go on special occasions because of the price.

The server, bartender , and cook were great; however they desperately need more staffing. Our food took over an hour to get to us as a party of 4. The waiter was apologetic and clearly with limited staff was doing more than one job. We watched others walk out due to the speed of service. Great idea however, overstressed staff needs more help.

4 people decided to have Thanksgiving dinner at the Big A,which apparently is now under new ownership. We had a reservation for 6:00pm,we had wait for 20 minutes, and there was a couple that waited more than half an hour. Finally we got seated.But it appeared very disorganized. There was little food left,including turkey, they did not have ice cream,and the variety of pies.The owners supposed have 4 other restaurants, but no one ever showed up ,not even a manager and ask if there was any problems.Hope they correct the issues and take care of the customers better!

Thanksgiving was ruined by new owner’s incompetence. There was no food to feed these families that made reservations but they still charged $50 a person plus gratuity for a non existent waiter. How do you run a restaurant but not have the food to feed the people. I’d would stay far away from the new owners.

We were here for Thanksgiving. The food was meh and our waitress was pretty much non-existent. We have lots of great memories from the years with the prior owners, but not sure we'll be giving the farmhouse another chance.

I had a great kings cut prime rib. Perfectly seasoned didn't need anything else. My wife had veal milanese too much breading to get to the veal. The lobster bisque was too salty. Dessert was very good the tiramasu and the lava cake. Casual dining quiet spent around $160 for two including tip.

Fantastic! The new Farmhouse owners are putting their mark on this place. All of the bad reviews are from the old owners. Good things are happening!

We received personal attention from all personnel in a beautiful, homelike atmosphere! The restaurant includes several rooms, each with their own charm. There was a great variety of food on the menu, all of it absolutely delicious! They were decorating for the holiday season while we were there…I highly recommend a visit in the upcoming months!
