Mendocino Farms

The food is fresh and consistently good. I appreciate that they seem to use quality ingredients. The workers are friendly, and the restaurant is clean. It's a great place to meet a friend for lunch.

Stepping into Mendocino Farms at the Freeport location for the first time, I was greeted by a lively atmosphere and the enticing prospect of a culinary journey, thanks to their commitment to fresh ingredients. This set the stage for what I anticipated would be a delightful lunch. The menu was a testament to creativity, offering a diverse selection of sandwiches and salads designed to satisfy various tastes.
The chicken sandwich, a classic choice at many restaurants, typically promises a pleasing crunch and a balance of flavors. At Mendocino Farms, however, my experience was somewhat inconsistent. Although the ingredients were undeniably fresh and the bold flavors typically found in their sandwiches were present, the chicken sandwich was excessively crunchy to the point of being noisy while eating. Despite this, the quality of the chicken was not diminished; it was tender and flavorful, and the accompanying sauces and vegetables created a harmonious blend of tastes. On my next visit, I’m inclined to try a different sandwich.
Service-wise, Mendocino Farms excelled with its amiable staff and streamlined ordering process, reflecting their dedication to ensuring a positive customer experience. Even when my colleague’s dish was accidentally served to another customer, the staff promptly offered to prepare a new one, further demonstrating their excellent service.
The outdoor seating area was picturesque, but I found myself wishing for adjustable umbrellas to provide better shade coverage, as some spots were left exposed to the sun. Overall, while there were areas for improvement, the visit was a pleasant one.

We really enjoyed this place. Their Mediterranean style sandwiches were amazing. Love seating outside under the heaters!

In a word: healthy.
Everything at this restaurant is homemade and made with the freshest ingredients. They put together different kinds of ingredients to create different salads and sandwiches. I ordered the beets and goat cheese salad with a tasty homemade dressing. It was very flavorful and had crunchy nuts in it. Also, the juices are very different and are made with Agave instead of sugar. I tasted the lemon and turmeric flavored juice and added a small amount of the green juice, which made it taste a little unusual. More tart & herby!
