Food was okay. Crab Cake Benedict was practically inedible from how fishy the taste was. Prices are rather high for the portion sizes. We asked the waiter at the beginning of the meal about an appetizer containing egg for a food allergy in our party and they never answered our question.

We were really excited to try this restaurant. The food options looked amazing. Waitress was very kind.We ordered a Bloody Mary and a Mimosa. The Bloody Mary came with all my favorite toppings (bacon, shrimp)and looked amazing. It was not. I was very tasteless, like watered down tomato juice.I ordered Ofelia Benedict as I love eggs Benedict. It was also completely tasteless. So bland with no seasoning at all.I also tasted the cheese grits. They were like water.The restaurant has so much potential, but the food has no love in it.

Went to Farm Bell for a business breakfast and it was very good. The service was excellent, the coffee fine, and the Belgian Waffle I had was great. The building is really interesting too - I'd go back.

Really loved the cappuccino and breakfast tacos with hash browns..beware of the hot sauce! A little dab will do..do not pour, just dab. Really hot, really good!

I went for Sunday brunch with my sister and a good friend. We had a reservation for 11:30 a.m. We ate and drank cocktails. At around 1:05 p.m., the "manager" (definitely not a server) came by to let us know that reservations have a two-hour time limit and that we would need to leave in five minutes, due to another party that needed to be seated. We had no previous warning and still had close to half a carafe of peach bellini to finish. We hurried out within the five minutes only to realize that our reservation was at 11:30 and we were asked to leave 20 minutes prior to the two-hour time limit. It was such an incredibly rude way to treat customers that had spent a good amount of money on brunch. What is really sad is that we stood outside the restaurant chatting and realized that no one was being seated because the restaurant closes at 2 p.m. This feels like we weren't welcome at Farm Bell Kitchen, like they wanted us to leave. I sincerely hope it wasn't because two of the three people in our party are African-American...one has to wonder. I don't think I will have brunch at Farm Bell Kitchen again. I can't remember a time when I was treated with such rudeness and disrespect.*Our server was lovely and wasn't a part of this interaction at all.

I have a tumor in my brain. But, the pork belly biscuit sliders just might be the cure because my mind was blown. Good stuff all around. Ofelia’s Benedict & Banana Foster French toast for the win. Extra points for coffee that tasted good but didn’t make my heart start playing house music in my chest.Shout out to our server Min.

Cute restaurant, great-tasting and creative breakfast food. Staff seemed distracted and inattentive to the point I'm confident I could have walked out without paying, and the lack of soap in their one bathroom makes me question how clean employees' hands are. But overall, I'd recommend it.

The food was good, but it was nothing special considering the prices attached.Service was terrible, very inattentive. We ordered avocado to add to one of the dishes and not only did the server forgot to bring it with the meal but they also charged us more than what was seen on the menu. When we asked them to change it to the original price we had to wait 30 minutes. Eventually we went to the manager and the original server told us for some reason they couldn’t fix the issue and that we should have left.You can get better food and service at Guajiro’s, don’t bother with this place.

Delicious food and coffee. Had the bananas foster French toast and drip. My friend ordered the waffle and scrambled eggs. Simple, but fabulous. Excellent service as well in the cutest restaurant. Parking is a bear, but that's ok. Absolutely will return!

We got the biscuits appetizer, the breakfast tacos with added brisket, and the power hour salad with egg. It was phenomenal. The service was great, and we loved the atmosphere. We are definitely going back here next time we're in town. I would recommend this place for everyone.

This was basically the perfect breakfast, and we tried lots of different things. The beignets with bourbon caramel sauce were a great starter. We tried there different cocktails- the espresso martini, the pear vanilla gin fizz, and the cider mimosa- all big hits. My friend had the chicken and waffles and loved it. He said the chicken was perfectly cooked. My other friend got the French toast with maple syrup and berries and loved it. I ordered the south by southwest with andouille sausage and a side of green tomatoes. The tomatoes were very well done and the south by southwest was perfectly done. Definitely try their homemade hot sauce- just be careful how much you use. It packs a punch. Our server Charlotte was kind, checked in at the perfect cadence, and her recommendations were spot on. We are visiting from out of town but if we are ever back, we will stop here first.

Great food and great service! Parking is limited. Garage parking is your best bet.

Food was excellent, and service was fantastic. I would recommend a reservation and to get there about 20 minutes prior so that you can utilize one of the parking garages that are roughly two blocks away in any direction. There is no parking for the restaurant itself other than a few street spots but the parking was worth the hassle for the food and service.
