Founded in 1981, Farmer Boys® fastaurants have grown to become a Southern California icon. Our menu features more than 75 freshly-prepared items including award-winning burgers, specialty sandwiches, freshly-made salads, and signature side items such as fried zucchini and monster-sized onion rings. Made-to-order breakfasts include omelets, French toast, pancakes, and breakfast burritos. All this is served in cozy, friendly surroundings that call to mind the charm and comfort of a rural, farm home.

How we Began

The first Farmer Boys® restaurant opened its doors in Perris, California in August, 1981. Founded by the Havadjias brothers, this single restaurant focused on preparing generous portions of fresh food and serving it quickly to an ever-growing group of satisfied customers. The concept was so successful, that by 1997, the chain had grown to include eight family-owned restaurants, all in Southern California.

Due to the success of these eight restaurants, the Havadjias brothers made the decision to begin offering franchises. The first Farmer Boys® franchise was granted in 1998, and the following year that restaurant opened in Temecula, California.

Today, 46 Farmer Boys® restaurants are operating in and around Southern California's Inland Empire, with several more currently or soon-to-be under construction.

Our Food Speaks for Itself

Great food is the primary reason Farmer Boys® has enjoyed so much success in the highly competitive restaurant industry. Not only do numerous research studies bear this out, but a number of our menu items have been recipients of awards from various news organizations. The Farmer's Burger, for instance, was not only voted the Best Burger by Inland Empire Magazine, but it 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.

Continuing Success and Expansion

With 24 restaurants open at the end of 2002, and 35 at the end of 2003 and continued success with nearly 50 locations in operation by the end of 2004, in six California counties. In 2005, we are seeking area development in the western half of the United States.
