Mikes Kitchen - (Near Newberry, FL)

1 /5 Jt (Pheuri): Have gone here twice, Ive only eaten here once. Service is a joke. 1st time: walked in the door to be seated and was instantly asked if I was waiting on my check. Explained I just arrived and was waiting to be seated. Was seated, 12 minutes later server (wont name her) took our drinks and food order. 20 minutes later a 2nd server asked if we were ready to order. Explained we already had and have yet to even receive our drinks. She apologized and quickly returned with our drinks About 5 minutes later the 1st server came back to the table to tell us they were out of one of the times. (It had been almost a half hour since we ordered and she was just now telling us). Ok, changed order. 11 minutes later was told there would be a delay as they had to make one of turn side dishes fresh?!?! We are now at almost 45 minutes getting told this. Server used they excuse they it was a busy evening. Including us there were 3 tables and 3 servers. If one table per server is overwhelming they need to seriously consider retraining the staff. 8 minutes later dished arrive minus the one side. Just over an hour since walking in the door for (most of) our food to arrive another 5 for the final side. Figured they had an off night and decided to give ir another shot. Called at 11:22am to place a to go order. Was told they were busy and give them 30 minutes. Understandable; I arrived 50 minutes after placing the order to be told no placed a to go order that morning. When I named the lady I spoke to on the phone she then remembered and started to frantically type into the POS. I told her if she had forgotten to place the order just to forget it. She admitted she did forget (no apology) so I left. (8 tables and 3 servers visible). Two visits with consistent service. BAD! Now for the actual food. BBQ pork was bland and dry, mac and cheese is soupy give a Sysco out of a can vibe. The Cuban sandwich was amazing, seems a ham and cheese sandwich is the limit of the kitchens skills. Do yourself a favor and skip this dining establishment.

2 /5 mlwm7: This restaurant cant possibly stay open much longer. Went the other day and would not recommend it. Lunch time and there were only 1 or 2 other parties in the entire place, which is pretty big. It quickly became apparent why. The food is okay, nothing to rave about. The decor is cute. The service was some of the worst ever. Again, given that there were only 2-3 parties in the entire place, and 3 servers, we could barely get anyone to provide any service through the entire meal. Had to get a second menu when my friend arrived, had to wait for my friends water, needed butter and received one little cup so had to go search for more (because the server disappeared), couldnt get her attention for a to-go container for 15 minutes, waited and waited for someone to finally ask about the check, and waited longer for them to pick up my card (even though they were standing nearly next to us). I wish them luck but I cant imagine how theyll stay open. I wont go back and cant recommend it.

1 /5 Big Boy Dining Out: 1906 Farmhouse 25405 W Newberry Rd, Newberry, FL 32669 ***SWILL ALERT*** Pulling up to the hitchin post at the 1906 Farmhouse, all seemed well and fine. I dont mind themed restaurants (they can be fun). This place was designed to model the Farmhouse where the ranch hands gathered for meals before and after a long day of riding. I dug it. It gave off a warm, welcoming, one-of-the-family vibe. Kasey was my server for the meal and she was frowning before I asked one question. I placed an order for one Country Fried Steak with sides of Collard Greens and Mac & Cheese, along with some Strawberry Shortcake to round out the meal. I soon saw Cantankerous Kasey begrudgingly returning with my victuals. I dont understand this attitude. Am I supposed to be grateful she deigned to work here? Anyway, if any of you are curious like me, you may have often wondered what it was like to spend a day in jail. To that end, I admit, I got myself hauled off to the County Hoosegow. Wanting to make the most out of my tax dollars, I booked my stay to include lunch. The dry bologna sandwich you receive, along with the juice bag to wash it down, is something you try to forget. As I looked at the slop my trustee, Kasey, placed before me, I began to long for the county jail government issue bologna. The Country Fried Steak was fresh from the freezer and cooked with the precision of Stevie Wonder passing his behind-the-wheel driving test. Ive been hit with hockey pucks softer than this garbage. The gravy was made in the Sysco factory and this had to be their bottom-grade slush. It was as tasty as flour and water. Wait. The sides were a step down from the entree, if that is possible. Just look at the pictures and tell me, does anything look appetizing? While I am not one to ever judge a book by its cover, as looks can be deceiving. In this case, they are not, and the adage a picture speaks a thousand words is spot on. The Collard Greens were obviously from an industrial can. Hey, dont get me wrong, all restaurants use a food service, but you dont have to be cheap about it and try to finagle the dining population by using the lowest quality they have to offer. The Mac & Cheese looked more like something a dog regurgitated than actual food. It was dry and pasty on the palate—just the way it is not supposed to be. The Strawberry Shortcake is also food service, not unlike the stuff you got in high school, only worse. Kudos, 1906 Farmhouse, you officially serve Swill sans the fly. At least on this visit. The Big Boy says, “I wouldnt serve this SWILL to a dead dog.”

5 /5 Sherrie Ziecina: They have daily specials and can you believe I got this much food for $15.95 All home cooked my server Gracie was so sweet and attentive. It’s a very comfortable friendly atmosphere that you would expect from somewhere called farmhouse 1906. Many choicesbreakfast lunch dinner definitely the best food in this area for me.

5 /5 Darrell Jacobs: I had the pleasure of dining at Farmhouse 1906 for breakfast this morning, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we sat down, the experience was top-notch. The eggs were perfectly cooked—exactly how I like them—and the pancakes were massive, fluffy, and delicious. The Country Fried Steak? It could give your Momma’s a run for her money, and that’s saying something! The sausage gravy was a tad salty for my taste, but that’s just a personal preference—it was still packed with flavor. The bacon, though, was a standout. It tasted homemade and smoked to absolute perfection; I’d love to know if they make it in-house because it was that good. The restaurant itself appeared clean, and the staff were warm and welcoming, making the meal even more enjoyable. Parking was convenient along the side and back of the building, and at 8 AM, there was plenty of space. I can imagine it might get tight during the lunch or dinner rush, but it worked out perfectly for our visit. Farmhouse 1906 has absolutely earned a spot on my go-to breakfast list, and I can’t wait to come back. Five stars all the way!
