The Farmhouse Cafe

It’s hard to go wrong with fried biscuits and apple butter, but menu surprises at some of Brown County’s time-tested eateries might tempt you to stray from old standards.

Five miles from Nashville, the cottage-like restaurant has a lunch menu listing ladylike comfort foods such as curried chicken salad. At dinner, you can order a ribeye or herb-stuffed chicken, and barbecued ribs on the weekends.
