I wanted to experience the Bonton Farm for a long time. I finally found the time to visit for lunch in May. It is a lovely dining spot with southern down home dining. You can eat inside or on their outside patio that oversees the garden that they are well-known for in the southern area. We chose to sit outside. The patio is covered and we'll ventilated even for a May afternoon. It was over 90 outside and I couldn't tell! ...and I hate the heat!
We order the fries, fried green tomatoes, biscuit flight, chicken wing plate and catfish plate. The service was a bit slow, however, they had a fairly large tour group having lunch that day. Overall, the food was "good", but not well seasoned for my liking. Now, if you like a good clean, "let the food speak for itself" flavors, it is worth the trip. I still love going here, because it is a great place to visit.
We missed the goats, but got to see the garden a bit. We also missed the coffee shop and the marketplace because everything closes at 3pm.
I would say, if you want a fun, relaxed morning or early afternoon experience, this is definitely a go-to! It was an overall...

Showed up to the city water department during their lunch hours, which forced me to find the closest restaurant in the interim.

They had big powerful fans to cool everything down for hotter Texas days. Loved that they grow their own produce on site on their own farm right behind the outdoor seating.
I got the wagyu cheeseburger, cooked medium, with a side of chicken fried okra. Hands down the best okra I've ever had. Lightly fried to perfection! Burger was fresh and tasty. Had the swamp water tea which was really refreshing. Must get again next time I'm here. Super friendly employees and great waitstaff.
I highly, highly...
Read moreAmazing amazing place. Will always recommend since this farm is run by amazing people who made this place with the intent of helping others and wanting to spread their love of farming and plants! I love how they let you check our the crops and even offer to set up a home veggie garden space for you at a lower cost than typical! The salads are always fresh and amazing. I only wish there were more locations like this where they have the garden right by the restaurant haha. I love that they donate so much crops and prioritize helping the environment. You are a bit too far for me to become a regular but if i could i would go at least twice a month! Have inly visited twice since I just had to bring my mom and im so glad i did since she enjoyed the...
