During my first trip to Beaumont (to visit my friends Erin and Chuck), we visited a family run restaurant called the Farm House Restaurant. The outside looks like a barn and it's located right next to the 10 freeway. The inside decorations are very mismatched, but you can tell that both locals and visitors alike seem to enjoy the comfort food this place has to offer. Here are my thoughts on this eatery:
*If you're on a diet, this is not the place for you. Let's just say that there don't appear to be a lot of low calorie or low fat items on the menu. I say everything in moderation. Enjoy a monte cristo sandwich or breakfast (which they serve all day).
*Support our local businesses. Now I must admit that I do enjoy a lot of chain restaurants, but I would hate to see them gobble up the smaller places. To keep them in business, we need to make sure to eat at these types of places more often!
*Try the home fries (aka breakfast potatoes). You can have hash browns in most places, but not all offer breakfast potatoes. They were pretty good. However, if you don't like green onions, don't order these.
*Just about 10 minutes away are some apple farms too! So if you want to get some nutritious food to your diet after your unhealthy meal, go visit them for some apples and apple products. Apple butter is awesome!
Do you have a favorite mom and pop restaurant? A penny for your thoughts?
