The server didn’t give us a napkin even after we asked multiple times. He didn’t refill our drinks or check in with us after we received our food. We thought it was just because he was busy but we saw him twice roaming around doing nothing just waiting for the end of his shift.
For my first time dining hear my experience was not that great I ordered the short ribs and when I got my ribs they were overcooked and not chewable they were supposed to be bringing me out a catfish which took an hour to come out and then they ended up putting it on top of cold grits with string beans which was not what was asked of the waiter took five years to come to our table and check on my food. I’ll never go at the end of the night because they don’t care
Food was an innovative take on classic American. Very similar to its sister restaurant in DC, Farmers and Distillers.
Went there for dinner and it was great. The service was fast and attentive. The restaurant looked nice with a good ambiance.
The greeters/hostesses at the front desk were fabulous! Our waiter was pleasant and food was good. The wait was perfect and I would go back again.
This place is a really nice spot to go. Although the service is a little lackluster for my first time going to this location. The food is absolutely fantastic though and cooked to perfection. I definitely would encourage people to try this place.
Our server, I think her name was Erica was outstanding!!!!
Kimberly was an amazing server and every worker was attentive to customers needs and wants. Food was excellent and full of flavor.
It was our first time and we will definitely be back!
Always fantastic in every way!
The food and the drinks were delicious. The place is nice and the staff was friendly. We had a good time.
Thank you to Adrian for providing perfect service - attentive but unhurried. The bacon-wrapped dates are a must. The salmon, goat-cheese ravioli with chicken, and honey thyme chicken were all outstanding. The beignets literally melt in your mouth, and my wife proclaimed the chocolate cake the be the "best ever".
Food and drinks were amazing. Had a wonderful time. Be sure to make reservations, this place is very popular.
Founding Farmers has one of the best brunches I’ve ever had. The goat cheese and beet poached egg has is absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend!
Thee absolute best. Drove 7 hours just for this place.
Great service and food was amazing! Will return soon!
Founding Farmers is my favorite breakfast place in DC. It’s a must do place every time I visit DC. The food is always great and so is the service.
AWESOME!! Thank you so much for making a point to stop by and sharing your wonderful feedback with our team. Much appreciated!! :) -Amy
Great, good , fabulous
Server was inattentive and rude. Food left much to be desired. Ordered the chicken pot pie. Crust was cooked on top but raw in the middle.
We ate outside and the heaters were great! Camilla was a great server and the food was tremendous. Try the Yankee Pot Roast!
During Covid and visiting DC area. Would probably been more enjoyable without a mask.
We were from out of town and this was the best food we had in DC !
Fantastic cocktails- probably my favorite in DC. Their attention to detail sets them apart
The timing was great. Everything was clean. The service was excellent. I can’t wait to go back again and try something different!
The Food was good as always and so was the service.
It was a nice outdoor seating area with great service, and good food.
Quick visit to DC. Stopped here for breakfast. Covid protocol in place. Great food. Grits were too die for and the kids loved the beignets. Amazing service! Everyone happy with their meal. Will definitely return.
We mane a reservation for 7:15 online super easy. We arrived there a little early and they were very friendly. I had requested outdoor seating and it was perfected they have plenty of outdoor.
Food was delicious I ordered the bacon onion burger and was spectacular with the Mac and cheese also a must. Service was friendly and cordial. I would totally recommend. Felt COVID safe.
Went to FF-DC for dinner and realized when we got there HH was still in effect. Was able to order delicious food for a fraction of the regular cost. We shall return for HH.
Made reservations, yet when I arrived no outdoor tables were available. After waiting 30 minutes for a table we decided to leave and go somewhere else.
Oh gosh! I am so sorry this happened. :( I would love to touch base and make this right!! Please email me: Amy@FRG.Farm with a copy of your review + date of your reservation + name of your reservation + location. Thank you!! -Amy
Great service and amazing food
The breakfast was great and the server was friendly. Will definitely be back!
The food was the best I have ever had no joke!!
10/10 everything we had, from the drinks, to the dessert, was amazing.
Great Experience. We were greeted well upon checking in at our reservation time. We reserved outside seating for our dinner service. Everyone distanced well. Taken care during the evening by Camilla (I hope that I'm spelling her name correctly) - she provided excellent customer service. We will be back.
The food at Founding Farmers was delicious. The service was great as well. I can’t wait to plan my next visit.
