"Founding Farmers is always a treat. We generally eat at their DC location and thought we'd give the Potomac a try. They definitely delivered on quality food, quality service and an overall enjoyable experience."

"We got a bunch of appetizers and drinks. The drink menu was great and there were some interesting menu items. Service was ok. The waitress forgot to put in our first round of apps. Corn bread was to die for and everyone loved the pitchfork Bacon skewers and mac n cheese."

"Always a win going to Founding Farmers. Now that this spot is in Potomac, I know I go waaay too much. Thanks for always providing great service, no matter how many questions my wife has...
Only downside (in my opinion) is that the breakfast menu ends at 11, and the Brunch menu ends at 1pm. On a Sunday, I would prefer not to early rise to enjoy some eggs. Bacon Lollis are a amzing afternoon snack, though."

"Noise level made it impossible to talk; restaurant was overbooked and no one kept us informed; the only way we got a table was to stronly, complain to the manager; the saving grace was the waitress, who was delightful"
