FARMER J

Farmer J is like a good concept turned sour—great idea but execution is lacking. The place looks clean and gets high marks for hygiene, but Ben Rhodes has a bone to pick with the coffee situation, claiming the machine is often off. Roushan Kumar and others are feeling ripped off, citing tiny portion sizes that make you wonder if you’re dining at a toddler’s tea party. And let’s not even get started on the attitudes from the staff when complaints are made.

If you’re after solid food, you might have to adjust your expectations. The shak bowls and other dishes could be hit or miss, and it sounds like the staff could use a bit of a pep talk on customer service. If you find yourself here, maybe just grab a coffee to go and don’t ask too many questions.
