Farmer Boys — Restaurant in Murrieta

The food is always excellent here. As many times as I've been here over the years, alone or with family, I've never had a bad meal. Any time of day the service and the staff are exceptional. The prices are just a bit high, and the wait is usually a little long (extremely long if you're in the drive thru), but everything is made fresh and to order. The breakfast burritos are some of the best you can get. I can't say enough about this place.

They also have the best napkins that you can get at a fast food place anywhere in the country. They're very soft and, when unfolded, are extremely large. Now you may wonder why that's worth mentioning in a Google review. Well, I am a firm believer that you should always have a few napkins in your vehicle just in case of an emergency. A runny nose, spilled beverages... ANY emergency. Maybe you're stuck out in the middle of the desert or the arctic overnight and need a blanket. Unfold a few of these and stay warm until help arrives. Or maybe you're out in the middle of absolute nowhere and there is no way you're going to make it to a rest area, a gas station, a Starbucks or a Home Depot. You think you can hold it, even though your mom has told you it's terribly unhealthy. And guess what? You absolutely can. Because you are a Rockstar (yes, capital R. Like the severely underrated movie with Mark Wahlberg). You never have these issues and are truly a master of your own domain. But maybe your passengers don't have the same command of the universe as you. Why would they? They're not as awesome as you are. They will forever be grateful when you endow them with these napkins from Farmer Boys as they are running around to find a bush off the side of I-10, somewhere between Desert Center and Ciriaco Summit; or maybe somewhere near Zzyzx road on their way to lose all their money in Sin City, returning only with a pocket full of lint and stripper trading-cards (not you though - you always leave Vegas ahead by a few dollars. Even when you factor in gas & food & bail & hotels). If this were medieval times, minstrels would surely sing songs about you. Maybe your companions do so anyway. That song would surely end up being recorded by a pop star, or preferably Metallica, at which point it hits #1 on the charts. Obviously. You most certainly end up getting two consecutive promotions at work, bypassing Susan and Lance, who were too busy kissing up to the boss to notice your awesomeness rocket past them and into the boardroom. Eventually elected to the Presidency, you best the popular vote margin of victory established by Warren Harding's 1920 defeat of James Cox AND the Electoral College victories of Ronald Reagan over Walter Mondale in 1984 (in total votes) & George Washington in 1789 and 1792 (% of votes pre-12th Amendment) / James Monroe in 1820 (% of votes post-12th Amendment). Thank you, Farmer Boys.

P.S. The fried zucchini is excellent: fresh zucchini; outstanding ranch dressing for dipping; great batter; never greasy. Even the small order may be too much...

I came for the burger but I've never been to this location. I figured they were all the same. But, oh I was wrong.

The cashier seemed nice and sweet which is the only reason I'm giving 2 stars but the product, the food, was very sub par.

I got the fiery chicken sandwich. Where they get the fiery part, I have no idea. I did see some kind of pepper looking sauce between the bun and the chicken but it was so thin and sparse, I couldn't even tell what kind of sauce it was. Definitely didn't add any fiery taste. And there was no garnish to speak of. Nothing. Just this sad looking bun and a thin spit sized glob of sauce on the inside and the chicken. Which was cold. 0 stars

I could be mistaken but in an order of zucchini fries, isn't there supposed to be 4? I only got 3. And they were also cold. Like, I thought the special thing about farmer boys is they make everything to order?? I had two people in front of me at the drive thru and both took awhile so I'm thinking their food was hot and fresh so why wasn't mine?? 0 stars.

Then the Pepsi was flat. Yikes... not how I remember Farmer boys in other places I've been.

The only thing that saved this to get 2 stars was the cashier girl. She...

I always like Farmer Boys and have been a customer for a long time. Coming to this one was not a great experience. When I arrived the guy behind the counter was complaining about a customer coming back for his receipt. I got a 3 egg breakfast and it was good as usual. However my toast was cold. So cold that the butter wouldn’t even melt. I NEVER send things back because you never know...... however I took the toast up to the counter and said it was cold. He gave look of “REALLY”. Took it from me and before I barely sat down again was at my table with new toast. And said “Is this ok for you”. Knowing that he really doesn’t care I just accepted the bread..... I mean toast and ate cold toast with my meal. I’ve been in customer service for over 20 years and if someone complained about cold toast I would damn well make sure the new toast I gave was hot. This associate truly doesn’t understand customer service. Sad! I will think twice nlbefore coming back to this location. I really don’t want to inconvenience this guy...
