This place is a hidden gem! We loved it! Such an awesome Atmosphere with a mix of bar vibes with also lots of seating. Tractors for photo ops and we were privileged with sitting the large corn crib area. It's awesome decor and vibes. Our table ate a variety of gluten free options, fish dinner, burgers and kids meals. We all loved it!!! Delicious and lovely service. We will be back!

Host was very accommodating - helped us as we were traveling from out of town. Enjoyed a great meal, attentive service and warm atmosphere. We'll be stopping in again!

The food was outstanding. The servicer was attentive and courteous. Just a great place to eat and enjoy friends and family

I enjoyed the food! Went there with my wife and we both were satisfied with our meals. Nice and polite people are working there! They do good food and service!

The food was so good will definitely come back :) my boyfriend and I had their ribs and they were so juicy. Mac and cheese was delicious and their veggies were on point.

I went on January 20 to celebrate my birthday. I had never been before. Probably the best meal I've had in years. Lately, I don't like to dine out because it's expensive and the food is never worth what I've spent but this place is a game changer. I had the special "pot roast"- Just amazing and cooked to perfection. I will be back and the Fancy Farmer will be highly recommended!

First time visiting Fancy Farmer. Owners did a nice job renovating the space. It has a nice, rustic feel. Menu is Americana basics with some nightly specials. I had the tasty, perfectly cooked scallop special (pricey but I'll eat half tonight). Good veggie sides which is important to me. Partner had the burger; it looked basic but good. Wish entrees came with a starter salad and bread on the table. Minor flaws. I'll be back.

Terrific place in a rather out of the way place. Upstate New York is beautiful and the drive from Amsterdam to Sharon Springs was incredible! Even more so was the food-highly recommend the Pierogis (either as an app or as part of the sausage plate) were def homemade and deliciously tender. Sandwiches and burgers were served with fries and very tasty. The coconut shrimp with cranberry and sweet chili relish were spectacular. Servers were rushed on this busy night (good thing we had a 5:30 reservation on a Saturday night) but efficient and food came out at a terrific pace. We were near a table of 12 and there was no problem with service. Nice bar if you want to eat there, too. All in all, a really nice spot for dinner, you'll enjoy it!

Came in with 13 after a soccer game. Food was good. Service was great. Menu was limited but everything was good. Everything that was supposed to be crispy was; wings, fries , sweet potato fries. Draft beer menu was one thing that could be improved.

Located in the center of Sharon Springs, Fancy Farmer is a local restaurant and bar which was renovated completely from the former Brookfield Laundromat, Brookfield Studio, Coffee House, and US Gas & Deli (gas pumps removed). They are still going through their soft opening period with an abbreviated food menu at the time of this posting. A larger menu is upcoming. The food menu offerings include appetizers, salads, burger & sandwich plates, bowls, chicken entrees, pork tenderloin, coconut shrimp, pierogies & kielbasa, filet mignon, ribeye steak, kids menu, and desserts. The pricing seems pretty fair, most entrees in the $12-$21 range with a few in the $26-$40 range. The place has a laid back rustic barnhouse atmosphere with dim lighting with seating up at the center bar in front surrounded by high top tables and booths, flat screen TVs on the walls, and a back dining area with regular tables. The bar offers 6 beers on tap, wine and mixed drinks. While driving along US 20 through the farm country of Schoharie County, I stopped in for dinner at Fancy Farmer in Sharon Springs. The place was moderately busy on a hot Saturday evening. I headed up to the bar and took a seat. The bartender gave me a food menu and I requested ice water as I made choices. I started out with Pierogies (4 for $6.50 plus tax) which came out hot, 4 pan fried potato filled Polish dumplings with sauteed onions & sauerkraut and sour cream. These oily firm pierogies were really great and I enjoyed each bite. Next, the Low Country Shrimp & Grits ($17.95 plus tax) was a modest portion with soft stone ground grits smothered with a creole sauce, Gouda cheese, andoulle sausage slices and three grilled very firm seasoned shrimp, no tail and cleaned. This Southern style dish had a nice spicy flavors and the grits were not too hot. I was all set after finishing my food and got the check which was $26.41 with tax and before tip. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal with good service. The bartender checked up on me asking how the food was and offered refills on the ice water. I would definitely return to Fancy Farmer once their menu is expanded and can't wait to taste what they'll have to offer.
