The Farmstead

Farmstead is Cedarburg's Hidden Gem...Absolutely top notch every time I've been! The service & ambience is phenomenal, only surpassed by the quality & execution of food! I would sincerely rate it easily in the Top of my favorite restaurants in the area. They have high quality steaks, comfort food and are not pretentious. As a 4 time restaurant owner & Executive Chef, I don't throw my opinion around lightly... if you haven't yet been. GO! On my last visit I enjoyed a perfectly cooked bone-in ribeye, mashed potatoes, onion straws and veg. The wine selections were great and I even had the pleasure of meeting the owner at the bar. In my opinion, it is extremely rare to meet such a genuine and caring person. It's no surprise why she's such a success. I am definitely a fan! #ChefApproved #GetHereMKE #LetsGoMKEFoodie

My food was cold. My wife's food was undercooked. I'm not sure how this was possible since we were the second group to come through the door that day. Usually the food is very good. Not today. Neither of us finished our plate and left completely disappointed.

When you pull up to the location, you're kind of underwhelmed that it's an old house with some kind of warehouse opposite in the parking lot. Once you walk in, the old farmhouse charm kicks in and so does the smiles along with great service! The food was so fresh and tasty. This was evident with how fast the restaurant filled up. We got there 40 minutes before open and there were people waiting with us for the restaurant to open at 3pm. My steak was cooked to perfection and my wife's chicken so tender. The veggies were fresh and crunchy enough. Garlic mashed potatoes were sooooo amazingly delicious and were as yummy as I read about. Great place and we will definitely be back when we're in the area.

We went on a Thursday and they were unusually busy- service was good, food was fantastic. There's a wheelchair ramp on the side of the building- this visit the door was locked when we arrived- I suggest calling on your way if you need access. Small restaurant- great date night supper club vibe. Service was great - very accommodating and apologetic for locked door. Food was so good- I forgot to take pictures! lol

I absolutely adored this place. The food was amazing, the staff were incredible, and the vibes were top tier. Just go here, there will probably be a wait, but it is well worth it. I just enjoyed my time here so much, it was just such a pleasant experience.

This place was amaze balls. Very unique and old building (similar to an English pub. Decor is interesting but isn't the focus. Great ambience, perfect music, and overall great place for a family, business dinner, or a cozy night out. I wish i would have taken pictures of the food, it was unbelievable. I would rank their steaks with some of the best steak houses. Garlic mashed potatoes for the win! The place is hard to find and has no sign on the building. Bummed they don't take reservations but if you're lucky enough to get a table it is worth every penny!

The house is absolutely adorable on the inside. We had a bit of a wait on a warm Saturday night but the hostess gave us the most charming history of the house (no spoilers here!) so we hardly noticed the time passing. Come for the supper club fare - the steaks, the seven-layer salad like your G'ma made it, the perfect Old Fashion. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service was excellent and very even, and you could still hold a normal conversation. The Farmstead is definitely worth the wait. We definitely will return.

Wonderful service and people Produce highly recommended and the prices are fair for the quality

We've been coming to the Farmstead for the better part of 20 years. Have never once been disappointed. It's one of my absolute favorite restaurants in the whole United States. I haven't lived in the area for 15 years so I only get back occasionally now but it's always on the itinerary when we are back in town. Farm bites are literally the best appetizer I've ever had. I've eaten in many of the best restaurants in the United States on business travels and would choose the Farmstead over most of them. Service is always attentive if not fawning and the food is spectacular and quite reasonably priced for what it is. You will not be disappointed in a visit to the Farmstead. As others have said, get there early and expect a wait. Have a brandy old-fashioned sweet (or 3) while you wait! Your patience will be rewarded.

was always fantastic--generous portions and quality you could count on. But it seems even our favorite steakhouse isn't immune to the shrinkflation curse. The portions have shrunk, and the quality has taken a dive, all while the prices have somehow gone in the opposite direction.It's a real shame, as this place used to be a staple for us. Now, it feels like they're banking on their old reputation rather than maintaining the standards that earned it in the first place. Guess I'll need to start sharpening my skills with the grill at home...
