Farm Bar is a neighborhood farm-to-table restaurant with locations in Ravenswood and Lakeview. We serve approachable midwestern fair with local, organic ingredients from our own Brown Dog Farm in Mineral Point Wisconsin. Stop by for dinner to indulge in our Classic Burger and famous Wisconsin Cheese Curds, or bring the whole family for lunch. Our mixologists behind the bar will happily shake up handcrafted cocktails or pour a glass of local wine to pair with brunch on the weekends. Join us for homestyle cooking, friendly faces and a table that feels like home. We limit our environmental footprint by using a digital menu linked to our tables with a QR code. We understand that some guests may require a paper menu, and one can be provided with a list of standards items upon request. In order to meet added costs from the city, we've added a voluntary 3% COB fee to our checks. We understand that rising costs affect our guests too, so we will remove this fee upon request.

    Definitely make a reservation if you can, the restaurant is small. The menu has a lot of options and the food was great! We went on a busy Saturday so the service was a little slower. Overall would love to go back and try it again

    Such a good experience at farm bar! The food was amazing! Special shout out to the the cheese curds, pot roast, and sticky date cake (best in Chicago). The service was outstanding and very thoughtful. One thing to mention is that it is a very small place so getting to the bathroom/to the bar was a little bit rough. Our table was also at the front and when a big group came in, their bodies were pressed up against our table and we were corner in for a good 10 min. Will definitely be going back for the service and cheese curds!

    Haley, thank you for the kind words! The Cheese Curds are pretty legendary, right? We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your farm-fresh bites and our team took great care of you. We'll hold you to that promise and hope to see you sooner rather than later. Cheers, Your Friends at Farmheads

    The food was amazing, but the inside area is so small we had to have a table outside in an area that had heaters but was only partially enclosed and therefore had to wear our coats the entire time.
    Farm Bar - LakeviewResponded on January 30, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback, Lauren. While we're happy to hear you enjoyed your food, we're disappointed to know you were anything but absolutely comfortable during your dining experience. We will take your note back to our team and investigate how we can keep that area a warmer temperature for patrons. Thank you for letting us know. Cheers, Your Friends at Farmheads

    Wait staff were awesome however both bartenders were very annoyed we asked them for a drink. One of them gave us water asked if we were waiting for table and never came back. Maybe both of them were having a bad night? Food unbelievable! Hostess and wait staff amazing!

    Overall good. They limited our time (even with a reservation) to 1 hour and 15 minutes … I was initially not notified of a limit and then told 90 minutes when I asked. We had to gobble our food down. It’s restaurant week, but 90 minutes with a reservation isn’t asking for much.

    Amy, thank you for your honest feedback.

    We enjoyed the restaurant week brunch. Beautiful salad, indulgent pimento cheese breakfast sandwiches and rich delicious desserts. It was our first visit and we’ll definitely return to try more menu items!
