Hey man get a cramp on me.

We went there and wanted chicken. They have 2 chicken offerings and both were dark meat chicken. Why do they have no white meat when 80% of chicken choices are for white meat - go figure.
So we both chose the pork chops. Oh my gosh. When it came out we were so surprised! The "pork chop" was 2 slices 1/4 inch each of soggy pork chop. Absolutely inedible and fairly expensive. We paid for the bill, gave a good tip to the waitress (wasn't her fault). I said to my friend, that waitress will be looking for another job soon.

Fried chicken (thighs) $20. A side order of fries $6. And if the menu on their web site is complete, it is extremely limited. I hope they signed a short lease.

We thought we would try it, we went there with an open mind, but unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. The shrimp we had tasted more like lemon than shrimp. They need to fix something there.

We went for lunch. Burgers were great. Drinks were tasty. Absolutely no complaints about service. We will be back.

Thanks for the info. I looked on their menu and I did not think the prices were that high. Lots of goodies included with sandwiches. We are looking forward to going there, and are thankful for the opportunity to try their fare.

The $16 hamburger was very good but if you add bacon and cheese you’re up to a $20 burger, which might be too rich for a senior’s diet. It can’t be easy owning a restaurant, especially in TV where we know the rents are high.

But, but the tables lack white table clothes....

Salads are fresh: the beef tenderloin is aged and seasoned properly and among the best I ever had. Drinks are reasonable, and the service is excellent.

Menu — Farmshed American Diner

I have to push back on this a little - The menu clearly states "Pork Chop Cutlets" which are thin cut pork chops. And they are priced about the same as a burger (maybe 1-2 $ more). I've had them and thought they were great, dressed with crispy bacon and good sauce.

Totally correct that the menu states cutlets. They were delicious. I am so tired of people complaining about price. If it is out of their price range there are plenty of other restaurants they can support.

I'm not a expert on pork chops, but shouldn't a quarter inch thick cutlet be boneless? The menu says the pork chop cutlets are "bone in". If it has a bone, I would expect it to be thicker than a quarter inch.

Meat cooked with bone in has more flavor. The menu is accurate. Cutlets are always thin.

They are not listed. Burger is 16, lamb burger 19, steaks upper 20s. Salds around 13 to 14The prices are fine not an expensive restaurant.

a restaurant would not list prices with their food options. As stated before this is not a high end place. I dont have an issue with paying more for quality. However, I do prefer that an establishment is upfront about things. Patrons should not have to ask.
