Farm House Steakhouse 6004 Millhouse rd. NC86 Between Hillsborough and Chapel Hill
As you place the directions for this restaurant into your GPS and drive down the scenic NC86 heading towards the Chapel Hill/Hillsborough grey area, you'll end up at a crossing of railroad tracks and on to a dirt road. Now before you question if you are barking up the wrong tree you come to an old wooden building with dutch style doors tucked into a grove of oak trees. As you enter, one immediately realizes that they have set a very traditional atmosphere. The smell of fine beef, the dimly lit corridors and dining room, serves to set an atmosphere of old world pre-electric dining. Its a romantic place for a pair of lovers to attend. You realistically feel as if you have stepped backward in time, when things were more simple. The use of lighting in the place is amazing, almost magical. The heavy hardwood tables and numerous farm implements further this feeling. The staff are a mix of young and older females that are a pleasure to speak with. Prompt and efficient as well. I found the appetizers to be a nice touch, some breads cheeses and a patte of sorts, though the patte i did not care for. I myself ordered the t-bone with a baked potato, the standard all american meat and potatoes of the blue collar man. I asked for the steak medium rare and when it came, It had been cooked perfectly, I throughly enjoyed the steak. The cut was fairly free of fatty bits and had obviously been prepared with care. In fact the only thing I didn't enjoy about my experience at Farm House, and believe me if you are at all a creative mind it is an experience, was receiving the check. This place is fairly expensive to dine at. My companion and I easily spent more than a fifty-spot here. However this is a place in my opinion is a locale for that romantic dinner for two, or that rustic family dinner as well.( provided you've got the cash on hand.)TL;DR: Delicious Food, Atmosphere, theming and attention to detail are the best parts about this restaurant, if your budget is tight you may want to go dutch.
Food:9/10
Decor: 10/10
Price: 5/10
Overall:8.0/10
