Overview
59 Farmer Boys® restaurants are operating throughout Southern as well as Central California, with several more sites currently under construction.
Great food is the primary reason Farmer Boys® has been so successful in the highly competitive restaurant industry. In fact, a number of our menu items have received awards from various news organizations. The Farmer's Burger, for instance, was not only voted the Best Burger by Inland Empire Magazine, but was also named the best burger in Southern California by KCBS-TV in Los Angeles. Other award winners include our deep-fried zucchini and our monster-sized onion rings, which were tabbed by one news reporter as the "lord of the rings." In addition, Farmer Boys® beat out a number of national chains to win the Press-Enterprise "Gold Medal" as Southern California's best fast casual restaurant.
Farmer Boys® presents a unique franchise opportunity. We hope you will consider joining the Farmer Boys® family, either as a single-unit operator, or as an area developer.
