Farmhouse Blakeslee — Restaurant in Tunkhannock Township

I wanted to love this charmingly decorated space. The decor is amazing, the menu has inventive dishes, cocktails, coffee and mocktails. The execution and timing left too much to be desired.

We ordered the mushroom toast, Crab & Lobster Benedict, Peach Bacon Waffles and several coffee and cocktail beverages. It took over an hour to get our food, which would have been ok if our server had come and refilled the water I asked for, or taken an additional beverage order.

When the food arrived, the Peach Waffle which is listed under the savory option, was covered in condensed milk (not mentioned) there was no bacon on top as advertised. When i asked about the bacon bourbon jam, I was told it was inside the waffle.

Unfortunately it was so doughy in the middle I couldn’t finish it, and far too sweet.

The Benedict looked amazing, and while it had plenty of crab, there was no lobster to enjoy.

The mushroom toast which was ordered as an appetizer, came out with everything else and was soggy in the middle.

My husband had the classic old fashioned which he enjoyed, as he loves a strong beverage. His Bloody Mary was lacking in flavor. The Vietnamese Irish Coffee, wasn’t bad, just didn’t taste as described with condensed milk or 4 espresso shots. The Summer of 69 cocktail sounded so delicious, but again the execution left it tasting like a glass full of bourbon and nothing else.

The server was gracious enough to take the waffle off, and acknowledged the wait. However some more attentiveness throughout the two hour time we were there could have gone a long way. It also wasn’t lost that she removed the table card with which to leave a review. Luckily there was one on the way out. I will say there were other tables that had attentive service, maybe we ordered the wrong items, however to invest that much time into brunch, you...

Ordered their chicken meal with 'southern greens', 3 pieces of chicken, cornbread, and mashed potatoes.

Idk why the reviews on this are as good as they are, but I can tell you I don't plan on returning anytime soon. I just think a lot of people do not know good food. Doesn't seem to be a ton of great options up here so people are satisfied or even happy with food that is slightly better than the really bad stuff.

Nothing had great flavor. Everything was just LOADED with salt. I love salt, but not a feast of table salt. That's really all it was. Just salt, salt, and more salt.

The so-called 'southern greens' were far from any southern greens I've ever had. I'm half convinced they were just kale cooked in a pan.

The chicken was overdone - not tender and juicy at all.

They told me 20-25 minutes on the phone. I arrived at about the 30 min mark and was informed it would be another 10 because they just got some large orders. How is that my problem? So the smaller orders get shuffled back to accommodate larger orders? When I questioned the 10 mins, the first girl disappeared to discuss and came back and told me everything was done except the chicken. 1 minute later and another girl showed up with my meal claiming everything was ready. Weird, right?

It's reasons like this that I find it's better to just cook. $23 is insane for this, but thought I'd take a chance. It was that or a burger for $18 or $19 (can't remember). This isn't the city, fcol.

Anwyays, I don't recommend this place. Salt is important and has been demonized by the medical industry for years, but a bucket of table salt is...

This place started at 5 stars, everything spectacular, but man it has absolutely nosedived the last few months. We live local and here’s some recent experiences from our last few trips. There seems to be a new issue every time we go.

We were charged a 20% fee for a large group (cool, makes sense). We paid that on our bill. On the way out we bought some to go macarons for the kids, and they charged us 20% extra on that? I’m sorry, what? For a to go box of macarons? On a separate bill entirely? Get lost!

Orderd the salmon, after 30 minutes waiting for our food, they tell us they’re out of salmon. Order something else and have to sit without food while the rest of the party eats. You didn’t know you were out of salmon the entire time you were making our meals? How??

We paid cash and they tried to charge us a 3% credit card fee…we caught it and had them take it off.

3% surcharge for eggs when we didn’t order eggs?? Caught that another time and had them take it off again.

My daughter was eating a waffle and got up to use the restroom, while she was up someone took her half finished waffle and threw it away without asking. While simultaneously leaving all of the other trash and actually empty plates on the table.

Ordered the smash burger (used to be delicious) and it was so bland and unseasoned. The patty must’ve broken on the grill, so it was 4-5 pieces of burger clumsily put onto the bottom bun that kept falling out as I tried to eat.

So so so sad to see this restaurant go from what it was in the beginning to what it is now. Hopefully they can turn it around, until then, we sadly...
