Fields of Athenry Farm Shop & Side Saddle Bistro

"11 Thanksgiving turkeys with Fields of Athenry and so much more!!! Best ground beef, chicken, flank steak, osso bucco, hanger steak I’ve ever had! Amazing farm and family!"

"The team at Fields of Athenry Farm Shop & Side Saddle Bistro is among the kindest and most helpful. On multiple occasions, whether I've placed a holiday order online, or simply walked into the shop, they've gone out of their way to assist me in selecting the perfect item for my menu, providing excellent product quality, and the most hospitable service. Visiting the shop is like being welcomed into their personal dining room. I work locally at BCT, and can say, whenever I have a chance to walk into town, this is one of my favorite places to visit, and a great option for a quick lunch too! They have been a wonderful catering partner for our office as well."

"My husband and I absolutely love Side Saddle Bistro and the Fields of Athenry meats. Elaine and Bernadette are very kind and accommodating. The shop is a bit far for us to visit consistently as we live on the other side of the county, but luckily for us, we are able to order meats and cheeses galore online which is delivered right to our door every week! We always try to travel to the bistro when they host events and we always leave with big smiles and full bellies. You can taste the different in their meats compared to store-bought and I love supporting a local family business. We recommend Side Saddle to anyone and everyone."

"My wife and I visited Elaine's shop the day before this year's Christmas parade. It was the first time my wife and I had been to Middleburg so we didn't know too much about the parade and the town. Elaine could not have been more kind and helpful! She gave us information on parking, the best places to eat and the best shops to visit. The next day, at the parade, we stopped by Elaine's shop and had the most delicious lamb and beef stew that we had ever eaten. My wife and I also met Elaine's daughter and her family, they were also wonderful people! I would say that Elaine is practically the mayor of Middleburg. She truly could not be a nicer person. Thank you Elaine for making our trip fantastic! We will see you next year."

"We rented out the cafe for a date. Wasn’t impressed. Elaine was drunk but that was not the only oddity. Food was passable like a high school cafeteria; the rest of the service was creepy. I don’t recommend it. Also, They showed us a rather unfortunate meat box option, and I could not understand. They claim to have a farm but their meats look just like what my cousin sends me a meat wholesaler in Maryland. Not recommended. Seems like a sham"
