The Salty Farmer — Restaurant in Moweaqua

If you haven't tried The Salty Farmer in Moweaqa, DO IT! I love horseshoes and am very picky about them. Usually I'd say that Darcy's has the best, but my opinion has changed. The Salty Farmer's breaded buffalo chicken horseshoe is the very best horseshoe that I've ever had!!! It's topped with their house cheese sauce (which is so flavorful on it's own and simply yummy), drizzled with ranch, sprinkled with blue cheese crumbles and chopped pickles. I chose tater tots as my "fries" and they were cooked to perfection! It was bursting with flavor and just a little heat! My husband said, " it's so good, it's criminal! This should be illegal!" He himself had a tenderloin horseshoe which was also excellent, but we both picked the buffalo chicken for the winner. My daughter and youngest son chose the cheese toasties with tots, and not a single bite was left! That NEVER happens! My oldest son had a burger with tots, it was very good and very little was left! The service was great and the food was fantastic! My husband declared that it will now be our monthly lunch spot! Go try The Salty Farmer,...

I brought my mom here at 8:15pm on a Thursday because we had heard wonderful things about the food. We looked up the menu ahead of time and picked what we wanted including appetizers - we were so excited!

Unfortunately after the 30 minute drive we were handed a “late night menu” that was only appetizers and pizzas. NOTHING we had planned to order was available and there was no info online about limited menu after a certain time.

We had the mac n cheese bites and despite four employees at the bartop, we received room-temp food and cheese dip that had developed a film from sitting in the window.

We had to wait an additional ~10 minutes to receive our ticket to pay even though the present staff outnumbered the paying customers.

We were super bummed but ended up at Crawford’s down the road and had AMAZING burgers.

All that to say, call ahead of time to ensure the kitchen is serving their full menu before you...

We stopped at The Salty Farmer after a quick Labor Day trip to Shelbyville. I relied on the reviews and oh boy were they dead on!!! I had the pulled pork shoe and split it with my daughter. Their homemade cheese sauce and awesome. My husband had the tenderloin shoe and also thought his meal was fantastic. Again… the cheese sauce is homemade and you can tell. My son had the BLT and you can’t really mess up bacon so he was happy. The fried mushrooms are sliced thin and the breading on them was good. The server was friendly and our drinks were never empty. He was honest about our questions (what is the best thing you serve here?). Our table felt that the shoes were better than D’arcy’s Pint in Springfield if you are familiar with that restaurant. This place is well worth a few miles out of your way! It did...
