   Very good but could be great. Sign of the times that we the consumer may need to lower our expectations due to the crazy volatility in the restaurant industry. I would definitely return.

   Had reservation for 7. Seated 45 minutes late. Outside was quiet atmosphere. Could have used overhead fan to cool areas. Food was good but not as yummy as we heard it would be. 😃

   I know it's July in DC, but it was very stuffy and warm upstairs. I was uncomfortable for most of the dinner.

   The food was amazing!!!! We had the cornbread for an appetizer and then the shrimp and scampi risotto and the beef short ribs with mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese. It was all so good. We then decided to have dessert and I got the Death by Chocolate and my wife got coffee and chocolate covered strawberries. I loved every single bite and the service was amazing as well

    I have been a fan of Founding Farmers for more than a decade. The staff are typically very friendly, the ambience is lovely, and I appreciate the sourcing that seems to be sustainable. However, I've come to realize that most of the food is not very healthy—the menu has way too many refined carbohydrates and large portions of meat, with small portions of vegetables and few-to-no legumes in sight. I hope they add healthier and more balanced dishes to the menu. Further, given the name and the branding, I wish the restaurant would be more transparent about where it sources its ingredients (and when/how this changes) so consumers know.

    Founding Farmers - DCResponded todayThank you for supporting us throughout the years. We appreciate you honest feedback and we hope to have you visit us again. -Najjah

    We missed Brunch by 15 minutes (which we hear is excellent) so settled for lunch. We started with a few cocktails and an order of deviled eggs before ordering our meal. The deviled eggs were chock full of raw onion (unnecessary) and topped with shallots which overwhelmed the flavor. Our waitress never came to check on us - even after our drinks were finished until after our food arrived. We ordered our lunch (shrimp and grits for my partner) and the grilled vegetable sandwich for me. When my sandwich arrived it had: a slide of tomato, cucumber, onions and cold brie cheese and a few bits of roasted red pepper). When our waitress came over I mentioned that the menu said it had grilled vegetables and showed her what was on mine. She said that it should have come with way more and took it away. She came back saying that the cooks said that it came with what it was supposed to. So...nothing grilled on the grilled vegetable sandwich? I sent it back and just finished the oniony eggs as we didn't have time to order something else My partner's shrimp and grits was beyond oily (you could see pools of yellow oil on top as if the sauce had broken. She ate the shrimp out of it and left the rest. Our bill - for 2 cocktails, deviled eggs and one entree - came to $76 which felt astronomical for the quality and quantity. Again, I've heard their brunch is great but after this experience, don't know if I would take a chance coming back.

    There’s no point in making a reservation because we still had to wait 30 minutes for our table. We weren’t waited on for 10 mins after being seated. The restaurant was filthy. We never got 2 items we ordered (an appetizer and a drink from the bar) and still were charged for it. Good thing we checked the bill because we would’ve paid $30 extra. The food was ok. The plates were wet and dirty. We were probably checked out twice during the entire meal. It was a mess. You’d probably get better service and food at a denny’s.

    👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 Appetizers and main entree was not good. Black pepper wings was burnt and the catfish entree was overcooked and burnt as well. We returned both and ordered crab dip (cant mess up crab dip!) The old fashioned infused with coconut was Not good. The waiter was nice and he mentioned the cooking staff was short.

    Dined there twice during our vacation week in DC, once for dinner and once for brunch. Fun experience and the food was enjoyable. Love the concept! Only wish it was possible to order a dinner roll or biscuit for our child without having to order what turned out to be huge portion. The brownie sundae portion size was also excessive. Sometimes less is more :-)
