The Farm And Grille - Essex

The Farm Bar and Grille is an adorable and somewhat hidden gem in Essex. The building itself is tiny and if I hadn’t come across it on Google maps I’m not sure I would have ever noticed it. I’m so glad I did! The food was wonderfully prepared and the service was really lovely, especially considering there was only one waitress on the floor. *Remember, lots of places are still short-staffed so please be kind! 1) The New England Burger: ME family farm beef, VT cheddar, NH cured bacon, MA baked brioche bun, lettuce, tomato, and red onion. 2) Surf Turf: BBQ Steak Tips paired with your choice of haddock (baked or fried) or Cajun seared shrimp (I chose fried haddock) and served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The portions were just right and there was enough to take home to eat later on for dinner. I look forward to visiting this place again.

On Wednesday at Burgerabend. The food is great and the kids said we had to come back. Kathleen was our server and she is very friendly and accommodating. You have the Maine Beer Company on tap, and it was delicious.

Lovely place! Terrific food, friendly, helpful staff. And a beautiful fire going on a rainy, chilly night. Perfect setting!

Came here because we had to use a groupon and were blown away. Very cozy, rustic atmosphere. Food and drinks are excellent. Get the BBQ Nachos, a Pop Rocks Martini and go from there. We'll be back soon!

Great food and staff!! Reasonably priced beverages and food as well!
