Service was excellent and food was delicious! I thought the price points were decent as well. I love the beet salad here, I’ll return just for that.

Farmers union is a great restaurant by San Pedro Square. The service was attentive and very helpful in recommending different craft beers to try based on beer style and provided samples if requested. The food menu had a good variety; ranging from standard Bar & grill items, slow smoked BBQ, as well as steaks and seafood. The Flat Iron steak with chimichura was really flavorful. The buffalo wings were good - the mango habanero wings were not as flavorful as I expected, but the classic buffalo wings had great flavor.

The spicy shrimp linguine was flavorful and the meatballs were delicious. The Cesar salad was okay, I'd try the beet salad next time. Mocktails were delicious. The food was well prepared and came out fast. It's a really cute date night or hang out spot.

Great place for a quick bite and brew. It was a little hard to get the attention of staff at times, and as there didn't appear to be a uniform or apron on the front of house or wait staff who assisted us. Burger was excellent, poutine was great (though more like chilli cheese fries). Fries were perfectly crispy.

Food was amazing!! Calamari appetizer was Awesome! Blackened Salmon was a 10+! Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup was Amazing! French Dip was Perfect! And the special Chicken Marsala was incredible! The drinks are stunning with my recommendation of the barrel-aged Manhattan being my personal favorite! Try that special bourbon flight, if available. It was incredibly enjoyable! Service was top notch! I love this place and it’s got my highest recommendation when I’m anywhere near San Pedro in San Jose!

The food was delicious!! The location was fun, close to night life and restaurants. They had lots of beer options. There was also a public parking lot around the corner where my husband was able to park his giant truck. Our waiter was very nice but I gave it one less start because it was kind of slow. Maybe they were short staffed? Over all I highly recommend this spot!

Excellent food, nice ambiance, and a lot of beers on tap. Each of the dishes offered a unique flavor pairing that set them apart, such as the mushroom on the steak, the apples in the brussel sprouts with the pork shoulder, the smokey salsa on the brisket tacos, and the cheesey buttermilk biscuit with the brisket.

Amazing spot. Came in with a big group and shared a bunch of appetizers and desserts, everything was great. Our server Carlos was very friendly.

Service and atmosphere was excellent. However I ordered a grilled cheese and while the tomato soup was good, the grilled cheese seemed to be welded together via microwave. Bread was cold and the sandwich was frozen in a slated state- like they melted the cheese in a microwave. The cheese was very thin. However the Brussels sprouts and sweet potato fries were good. Ordered a CAB but could have swore it was a red blend.

Blake Burch

Food was pretty hit or miss. My pork chop was pretty good, as were the potatoes with squash puree. The red cabbage was... ok. My wife's smoked chicken was really good, but the cheesy grits were kinda funky and the mac and cheese didn't have much flavor. It just felt like the flavors weren't mixed well and that's a shame, because the interior was pretty cute.

We came to The Farmers Union with a rather large group and are so glad we made reservations ahead of time—it was packed! We ended up having two extra people with us, but the staff was incredibly accommodating and found a way to seat us all together by pulling in an extra table off to the side. Huge shoutout to them for that flexibility. Even though they had us all order at the same time to help the kitchen stay coordinated, the food came out as it was ready—which is totally understandable given how busy it was. Each dish was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. The portions are generous—definitely sharable, especially for anyone who likes to try a bit of everything. The decor is… quirky in the best way. Some items might make you do a double take, but it gives the place a fun, unique charm that makes it memorable. Overall, great food, solid service under pressure, and a fun, eclectic vibe. Would absolutely come back—especially with a group!

Our second time here. First time for lunch this one for a grad night dinner. The food is good and tasty and well prepared. I had the flat iron steak with chimichurri sauce. The steak was very well cooked - pink throughout with no grey ring - and properly seasoned. The chimichurri sauce was tasty. The presentation was so-so: a cut steak with a lump of green sauce on it so they could work on that. We had the smoky beans as a side and they were well seasoned and flavorful but a bit watery. Mashing a few beans to thicken it into a light sauce would have been better. Our waiter served us well. We sat at the bar for a beer and there were three bartenders who ignored us for several minutes before approaching. After that they served us well but prompter service should be offered.

Saturday night busy but not packed. Menu is varried and good; specials as well. Quickly seated and order taken. Double cut pork chop was well cooked and juicy. Cabbage was good as well. The squash au…

The restaurant itself was nice, good environment. Food not so good. Need to season better. Burger was a burger, but fries with no salt are not good. No salt on tables. Baked beans, again no seasoning. Grilled cheese great, tomato soup had no salt. Knowing how to salt food is so important.

Stopped in for brunch today and was very underwhelmed by the menu. Despite such an extensive all day menu there were only a few items provided. The coffee was also extremely weak. That said - we loved the vibe. The holiday decor was beautiful and the industrial furniture was chic. The staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming. Wish the food had been better to come back.

Place has gone downhill by several accounts: Food presentation mediocre, receptionist not receptive to wishes, and main dishes not worth the money. Some of the salads - beet in particular - present a well and taste very good. It makes me wonder if the focus is just on the beer, which is still great with one of the largest selections on tap. I used to work a block away and take clients there. Won’t do that again.

Went for brunch. There was hardly anyone there. Limited selection of brunch dishes. Ordered the biscuits and gravy. The server said they didn't have biscuits so I changed my order to the salmon Benedict. Then they came back and told us they actually did have biscuits. I decided to stick with the Benedict. When it arrived, I asked where the hollandaise sauce was. They said it was on there. There was a thin yellowish glaze on the egg. They offered to bring a side of hollandaise, which was bland and watery. The hashbrowns were undercooked and tasted bland. The spinach on the Benedict made the muffin soggy and diluted what little flavor there was. When the bill came there was a 5% operations charge in addition to a 20% gratuity. That's on top of the already high prices listed on the menu. The fried ribs were good, though. Maybe don't come here for brunch.

Place looks nice but overall not a great experience. Service was slow, they just opened the section we sat in, we were maybe 2nd or 3rd out of 6 tables. We were last to get water. Last to get silverware. Other tables got apps before we got water and they were even putting silverware on empty tables before we got ours. Very hard to communicate with server. Everyone working there had tired angry faces. No smiles. We got our app salad that we ordered to come out first along with out meals. Our food was cold, they made a new one, second dish was luke warm. I can't comprehend how. Seems like it was all pre-made and sitting in the kitchen and just put together when someone orders it. We ordered the steak mind you with fries. All cold. No follow up, no manager table touch, drink ordered took 15 min to get to table. Tried to split one salad between our two checks and server said he couldn't. I've world in restaurants for over 20 years, and I know Toast Systems, definitely lied about splitting one thing. Overall disappointing. Won't be back.
