Loving Me Some Farm Burger
A big thank you to Pie reader Megs for recommending Farm Burger, another new burger place here in the Atl. It opened recently in Decatur and has people lining up around the block by serving only grass fed beef and super farm fresh ingredients.
On West Ponce next to The Watershed, they make great use of their small space by fitting in plenty of seating. It has a cozy and comfortable feel with big front windows and groovy blue metal chairs. I also like the use of cool metal baskets, buckets and mason jars for holding condiments, utensils and dishing out the grub. Like Yeah! Burger, you build your own sandwich from a list of free and premium toppings. I went with my friend Ai, and we both had the lunch special, a burger, fries and drink for $8. I added cheese, caramelized onions and upgraded to sweet potato fries for an extra 2.50, making my total 10.50 + tax, not bad at all.
They ask if you want medium or well done when you order, I requested medium and it came with just the right amount of pink. Ai asked for well done but felt next time she would also get medium. The buns are the killer, super soft and tasty and I added FB sauce, kind of fancy, slightly spicy 1000 Island, loved it. My sweet taters were excellent and had a wonderful savory seasoning. The regular fries were also very good with just the right amount of salt.
I think you cane tell I liked it and so do a lot of other people. We got there pretty early, just before noon and that was a good thing cause it got very crowed, fast. Parking is a little limited and there were 3 cars just waiting for a spot when we pulled out. I will be making this a regular stop when I venture over to that hood.

I'm so glad you went and enjoyed your meal! When I first read my name on your blog I think I literally squealed out loud!! It was very cool to see my name since you are one of my absolute favorite blogs.
I feel like a should offer you a new suggestion now since you liked the last, so have you ever been to Floataway Cafe? We went there for my birthday and it was fantastic.
Lastly, I was wondering if you have any favorite local ATL blogs? It's nice to able to read about a restaurant or store or event (like I do here on Pie) and actually be able to go there instead of just fantasize.
Enjoy your holiday weekend!
I have heard of it, it is owned by the chefs behind Star Provisions, I believe. I need to go though. I
like theBlissful Glutton great local blog for foodies. You can search it by type of food or location which is extra great.
Yes, it is part of the Star Provisions "empire." Speaking of which, I've been meaning to get there on your recommendation for ages - must do that!
Thanks for the Blissful Glutton rec, i'll start perusing . . .
