    We were happily surprised at our dining experience today. There is a little cool coffee shop just next to it and that was fun too. I noticed that many who ate at the restaurant also came there when they finished. It was outstanding food and service today and we'll be back!

    I thought it was very expensive and I was surprised considering the location. It seems to be out-priced for the residents in the area and does not invite them to eat the healthier options offered. The amount of food was also disappointing based on the cost...

    Love what Bonton Farms is doing for the community but the food was not good. Greens were tough and not cut up. Chicken was over cooked. Macaroni and cheese was like a kid made it. Pancakes were tough. Not good.

    We had such a good time at Bonton Farms! My daughter and I stopped by before a play in Fair Park. The food was really excellent. You can't get fresher veggies then a garden right out the door! I had a fried green mater sandwich with a perfectly fried tomato and it had a really great pimento cheese on it as well. My daughter had an omelet with chorizo, which she loved! The swamp tea had tang in it, which was really delicious. I'll have to call for the ingredients again so we can make it at home! The atmosphere was friendly, not stuffy and uptight, so we felt right at home. It was the perfect place for us small town girls to get a special big city lunch on our girls outing!
