This place makes it feel like it's posh to eat fried chicken and macaroni and cheese. I love those foods - throw in mashed potatoes and a watermelon margarita, and you've got me. farmerbrown has all of these lovely things. They focus on local food and organic food, which is why I really support it (no really it's because of the mac'n'cheese!). I mostly like the ambience, but sometimes it feels a little like I'm eating in a basement. Not sure if that was what they were going for, but sometimes makes it feel a little dank.

great food, ingredients sourced from african-american organic farmers
the gentlemen who opened this baby is also responsible for emmy's spaghetti shack (yum!) and the bluejay cafe. i knew i wanted to try it, and it's just two blocks from work. what intrigued me the most was the simple fact that they support local and african-american organic farmers. talk about sustainability! whatever they're doing works, because the drinks and the food are divine. the mac n' cheese is quite tasty. i'm not a big cocktails kinda girl, but the mint julep was really great. the amazing artwork by keba konte fills the inside, giving this place a great vibe. my only major issue was that service was pretty slow that few times i've been.

Go for the food, get there early!
Having heard/read all the hype, I decided this would be the perfect place to go for a company happy hour. We show up and the bar is already full- so I ask about getting a table.
Basically, they seated us in the cocktail lounge/waiting area, but gave us the curfew of 7:30pm to be out of there for another party (who no doubt were encouraged to make reservations when they called...)
We drank, we ate, we generally loved the food. Then we were kicked out promptly at 7:25 pm.
I don't hold the bad handling of our party against the place, but be aware that the bar is small and don't listen to the hostess who tells you there'll be plenty of room.
Overall, the food was really good, the desserts sublime and the drink menu had something for everyone (my personal favorite was the Mint Julep).
I will definitely go back
