    The food has too much fat, salt, and sugar. Very heavy and unhealthy unless you order the (very pricey) salads. Not great value for money.

    Ate dinner as a couple; Kevin was our waiter—-he was excellent! My wife had the spatchcocked chicken (very good), and I had the short ribs (excellent). Service was great; very efficient, informative, and smooth. Really appreciate that they are BYOB for any wine not on their wine list. Be sure to get a reservation!

    It seems the quality at Founding Farmers has diminished over the years. The food was generic (nothing like the farm to table experience in its early years) and the quality of food does not compare to the price tag. I had a cauliflower steak. The (shredded) green beans on the side reminded me of a school cafeteria (frozen beans, no seasoning). Another in our party had the fried chicken salad which was quite salty. My "mule" cocktail came in a regular glass (not the traditional copper mug); although, it was tasty. Sadly the establishment no longer lives up to its reputation.

    The food was average. I had the Farmhouse Platter. I ordered because I had a few years ago and enjoyed. This time I only enjoyed burgers and corn. The chili dog had no flavor and ribs were also not too flavorable. My drink from bar was good.

    After going to Founding Farmers a handful of times, it is okay. It is consistently super packed, but it seems understaffed. Staff is nice and friendly, but the service is generally quite slow. The food is hit or miss.

    Arrived a little early and had to wait outside for our reservation time. Not a big deal but when they came out to call names, they spoke at or below a conversational volume. If we weren’t right there, we would not have heard them call our name. We were seated at a booth near the bar. The area wasn’t awful but it seemed like we were in the middle of all of the bathroom and service traffic. Service was good except it took quite a while to get a refill on coffee. Food was good. I assume the concept was “ nicer diner/ Applebees “. Prices were alright for the quality/ location. Basic breakfast with coffee for three of us was about $80 before tax, tip, and “Wellness Fee”.

I couldn’t decide on which desert I wanted and I let the waiter pick…he said he would surprise me. It was delish and a fun experience. Would recommend to others.

    Outstanding food that lived up to the advanced billing. Ordered the buttermilk biscuits, chicken and waffles with scrambled eggs, vanilla crepe filled French toast sticks and pastrami hash with poached eggs. Every item was impeccable. The chicken was so good, my 4 year old kept asking for more even with waffles and a French toast stick nearby.

    Very noisy restaurant. Hard to have a conversation with the 5 other guests. My Paloma was watery. I did not enjoy it. Other drinks at the table were fine. My husband enjoyed the house vodka. The table shared the breads, chips and crisps with 4 different dips, the spinach dip and the blue cheese bacon dates. All were tasty. My entree was Louie Cobb with crab. Nice salad but could have included more of Cobb Salad items. My husband like the pot roast and others at the table enjoyed their entrees. For dessert, the table shared Death by Choo. Wonderful way to end a dinner.

    Was really excited to try this place and loved the concept, as well as the extensive menu. Unfortunately, the food was just okay and felt like it was missing a level of flavor that was needed. The service was fine, took a few minutes to get seated despite having a reservation. Our waiter was nice but took awhile at each step. We had our appetizer before our entree order was even taken. Overall, it’s a cool place but there’s some improvements that need to be made.

    I was really excited to try this place since I was referred by a friend and it was buzzing when we arrived. However, the food experience was mixed, the drinks weren’t great, and the service was pretty terrible. It took 30 minutes to receive our drinks, our water was never refilled, the risotto and scallops were a huge inedible disappointment, and we waited another 20 minutes for our check. In our waitresses defense, she always looked busy, and I have feeling the restaurant was understaffed that evening. The redeeming factor for the night were the house made chips and sauces :)

    We recently ate at their sister restaurant and had a fantastic meal. We were a party of 6 and 5 people enjoyed their meal and one person did not enjoy theirs at all. The meal came out and the food was not hot and was not good quality at all. I would not return to this location. The restaurant was not very busy, better food is expected for these prices.

    We were seated outside and had rhe unfortuante experience of being buzzed by honey bees in pursuit of anything sweet. The waiter later appeared with a candle which was ineffective. Guests at nearby tables were pestered with children and some adults cowering in fear of being stung. Additionally, we were accosted by mosquitos which were expert in finding every bare patch of skin. If you dine outside, come prepares with insect repellent. I had the eggs Benedict. While the eggs were properly cooked (the yokes flowed freely when punctured), the homemade english muffin on which the eggs rested we both dry and tough. Cutting though them was a challenge. I would not recommend ordering that dish and should have asked the waiter for recommendations. I will say that the portions were generous and the waiter was mostly attentive.

    I’ve ate at Founding Farmers a few times before so when my family was visiting I decided to bring them there. Great food, service and atmosphere. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and patient (family members take forever to decide on what they want). Definitely will return.
