    Stopped by for the first time because they claim to have Fresh Food. Well they aren’t lying. Ate dinner after 8:00 pm and it was really great. All the food taste Fresh & the plate sizes are large! You get a lot of food for your money. French Fries were Amazing! Clean restaurant and clean bathrooms. Great Job! Keep up the good work. Hope to see you from Coast to Coast one day!

    Great food! I'd go back again. Always liked their Cobb salad and zucchini sticks! Chicken sandwich is also very good just had it this past time.

    Food is always good, the items are pricey but the serving is big and delicious. Their vanilla cold brew always hits the spot. Sometimes it can be a while to place your order but it is understandable when they are busy.

    I would go back here to eat in a heartbeat. Both my husband's farmer burger, chili fries, and my California BLT were amazing. The workers were so friendly and full of smiles. I actually went back into the restaurant to thank them for such great food. Everyone should check these guys out. Soooo good.

    First time at a Farmer Boys. Positives: 1. Clean and comfortable ( except for the giant cricket crawling across the floor - but that is desert life) 2. Giant Zucchini sticks 3. Apparently the half sandwich my husband had was good Negatives:. 1. Could only eat half of my veggie burger because it was soggy in the middle. 2. Giant onion rings that were cooked poorly so the breading fell off 3. The half unwrapped sandwich that was cut in half so it fell out and on the floor when we took it out of the bag. 4. The manager (called out by the new kid who didn't know what to do) not only being unapologetic about the dumb sandwich but gave the impression that it was our fault they don't know how to wrap a sandwich. We were not asking for anything - just thought they should mop the floor there as someone might slip.

    After my 4th meal here, breakfast and dinner, I can confidently say everything has been great. The staff are kind and I've not had to circle the whole dining room to find a clean table. The fried zucchini is astounding! It's as long as my forearm and since the pieces are so thick (a zucchini is just cut lengthwise in 4ths lol) it doesn't end up overcooked, and still has perfect texture. I don't know what oil they deep fry in but it doesn't overpower the taste of the vegetable, wow. The part-cornmeal breading has a perfect crunch, and doesn't sweat off. The fries are also cooked perfectly. The shakes taste like real, creamy, ice cream (+whipped cream!), and are thoroughly & evenly blended to a consistent texture. Awesome. Breakfast was great, with ample servings and eggs that weren't overcooked. The chicken was out of stock when I tried to order the spicy chicken sandwich, but the burgers are very good. I have found that the sauces aren't always evenly spread, twice I had a half dry sandwich until I found the pile of thousand island. That's a bummer. I also found the avocado to be too old for my tastes, and wiped it off my burger after paying extra for it. I love that ALL the seating in the dining room is padded. The tables are generously spaced, so there's enough room to walk around without having to make contact with other patrons. The bathroom has been stocked and reasonably clean every time I've used it, also the hand soap smells nice (whaaat?!?! A miracle!). The parking lot is in rough shape (like most of El Centro) and parking can be iffy when they're busy, particularly because they direct the drive-through line through parking spots. I'm not from around here, and not familiar with these restaurant chains. I'm elated I've learned never to mess with Rally's again, what a miserable waste that was when Farmer Boys is an option!

    Everything else was ok! Chilli-cheese fryes are delicious! Fried zucchini and dressing! ... But the meat has a particular greasy smell! ... I'll try chicken or pastrami sandwich next time! 🖐🏿

    Most people aren’t aware that Farmers Boy has a 4 Piece Fish Dinner that is unbelievably good with tarter sauce green salad and fries. We’ll worth trying!

  • 5/5 Octavio J. 1 year ago on Google
    As always great hamburgers and salads...... if you download their app you hardly ever pay full price. I went with my wife and we order both hamburger and salad cut in half and they did a great job in every way: taste, presentation and portion size

    Good place/price The portions are really good. The crew is really friendly. They were pretty busy and took a little to take the order at the cashier. The waiting is really worth it. The BLT sandwich is really good!!

    Just tried the burgers, I don't eat anything else, the food is awesome, the staff are friendly. Price compared to other fast foods is a little over yet the flavor of worth it. Yes, I will recommend it.

    I must of the time I'm meet my dear boss in this restaurant, and I'd like to say their salads are way more too delicious and very well served. Although we love their chicken, bacon, and egg salad, I think it is the salad's name.

  • 5/5 InoeLIA O. 1 year ago on Google
    Kind of Fast, Great Customer Service. I got the barbecue chicken salad & this time it had enough chicken.

  • 2/5 Joe F. 1 year ago on Google
    After positive reviews, I've had a few bad experiences. Recently, I ordered chili-cheese fries. The cook created what appeared to be a less than full portion, and sure enough, the fries only outlined the circumference of the plate, with a void in the middle (instead of fries, saving money) and filled the void with chili, instead of portioning the chili atop a mound of fries, as it should and always is. Also, watch the change they give back if you pay cash! Twice recently, they shortchanged me, careful!!! Something has gone wrong there. Needs fixing, sadly. I evaluate these things for a living, so trust me. Sure, they're friendly, but watch the food portioning and your change, when paying cash!!!

    Bought a salad and the lettuce was old and all of it was brown around the edges. I'm not one for complaining but I was disappointed this time. I always go there to buy their Cobb salad and I have never had any problems. I was on my lunch break so I ate it like that...so sad. Plus for that price I expect better quality food.

  • 4/5 John S. 1 year ago on Google
    Salad was big, for sure. I got the southwest chicken and was surprised with the low flavor level. It was okay, but not better than okay. When I make this at home, or even when I get it from other places, the chicken is usually also seasoned with spices and grilled a little more so that it has some texture. The dressing should have more zip to it too. I had high hopes with the big portions, but left kind of disappointed.

  • 5/5 Richard V. 1 year ago on Google
    Suggested by a co-worker and it did not disappoint everything was good. Portions man size service awesome.. I underestimated the portions before ordering.. I regrets it but grateful I chose this place for a late lunch... 💯👍

  • 5/5 Monica B. 1 year ago on Google
