Located on a corner in a West Allis neighborhood, unsuspecting cars might drive past this gem everyday, thinking it is just another house; however, they are unwittingly missing out on a very special restaurant.
The Farmer’s Wife might just be West Allis’ best-kept secret.
From their site: “The Farmer’s Wife is based on some pretty basic ideas. Do things like our grandparents did. Work hard, Eat clean, Spend quality time with people we want to share it with. That’s all!”
The restaurant sources ingredients from local farmers, meat handlers and RSA’s such as, Kettle Range Meats, Growing Power, LOTFOTL, and West Allis Farmer’s Market. They have also partnered with Anodyne Coffee.
We had been in here for lunch a few times, but today was the first time we checked out their brunch; upon arrival, we found out that here is a Bloody Mary Bar on Sundays from 10am to 2pm!
They begin by serving you a glass of vodka and a chaser. You use their homemade Bloody Mary mix and your favorite spices to mix your drink–then add your skewers full of toppings!
Spice: Not too spicy, but you can add more spices to appease your palate.
Mix: Homemade
Chaser: Choose from many offerings. Today we had Surly.
Fixin’s: See above for the plethora of options, including cheese curds!
Price: $6
The Bloody Mary was delicious and the price was just right. Our drinks paired perfectly with our most appropriate brunch orders as well: My two dining partners and I enjoyed the Brunch Burger, the Brunch Poutine and the Brunch Wrap and cups of coffee. We all left full and happy…. we will be back!
