The Farmhouse - Christiansburg

Cold food, small portions, understaffed. Prime rib was very cold and had rested too long- worst prime rib I've ever had. Our waitress had lost her voice and was communicating through whispering and wearing no mask. It was claimed she lost her voice at a hokie bball game. I lost my voice and became ill a couple days later. Coincidence, I don't know? Management apologized but didn't offer me my money back for the meal.

Restaurant was recommended to me while in town for work. We arrived a little before 6pm. We were immediately seated. The waitress was friendly. I ordered chicken fried chicken and my coworker order steak. I was not impressed with the CFC. I’ve had better at Cracker Barrel. Too much breading. I normally get grilled chicken should have stayed with that. The grilled asparagus was yummy. My coworker enjoyed her steak. Overall it wasn’t a horrible experience; however, I have no idea why folks rave about the place. I wouldn’t come back on my own. Only if I needed to with coworkers.

The service and atmosphere were great; however, the most important part of going out to eat is the food and the food was horrendous. I took my family along with another family for brunch. The bacon tasted like rubber, the scrambled egg (literally just one) tasted like rubber, and I could have made a better **** mary at my own house; I feel like they got the mix from Food Lion and added some cheap vodka to it. I would absolutely not recommend this place to anyone, ever.

By myself, I went to The Farmhouse. I found it very inviting. I sat at the bar, and was immediately greeted. Lots of drink options. They offered both a bar menu and a dinner menu. I had a French dip that was very good. The service was the most noteworthy. Very friendly, very attentive. Always kinda weird to be solo, however I felt very comfortable.

We visited the Farmhouse on a stopover in Christiansburg, VA on a return trip to Tennessee. Our experience was outstanding from beginning to end. The Calamari appetizer was lightly breaded and quite good. One of us had the Rainbow Trout which was sautéed in a butter and capers sauce, while the other had the Salmon which was grilled in a sweet sauce with candied pecans. Both were superbly prepared and excellent. Both of us had roasted carrots as a side, which were a great accompaniment to the main dishes. Some of the reviews we’ve seen complained about the quality of the service staff. I can definitely assure you that was not an issue for us. In fact, our server, Malinda (NOT Melinda! was very attentive and friendly to boot. All in all, highly recommended!
