    Nice selection of food and drinks. Fries chicken salad was disappointing as it was a large bowl of greens and only two small fried chicken fingers. Ratio was poor. Veggie burger and fish and chips dishes were very good. Nice light coating on fish.

    We thought father’s day would be a great experience at a go to like founding farmers but we couldn’t have been more wrong. They were out of a number of dishes, they weren’t adaptable for kids and service was lacking.

    This place has the best service, not only in Potomac area, but beyond! The shift manager went beyond to accommodate while the entire restaurant was packed with people lining up for tables. Didn’t feel rushed to get out. They patiently listened and served us from starter, all the way to desert. The food is great, simple, with nothing to complain about. I wish I would have asked the name of our server and the manager, but if you read this, please know that you made the Father’s Day dinner very special for us. Thank you!

    Founding Farmers is nearby and conveniently located for most everyone. It was Fathers Day and I really wanted French Toast but I found out after a long wait that it was all gone! I was dining with a dear friend and I wasn’t going to let any negativity in. Our server was wonderful; Meredith upstairs. She was delightful and other servers helped out so we felt we were well taken care of. Lesson: maybe do t go on special celebration days. Otherwise, food is always great and variety is unbeatable!

    We enjoy their mini burgers and Fried Chicken Salad. We love Founding Farmers cocktails especially the Clementine (reposado tequila infused with clementine & chili, bénédictine, lime, pineapple, agave) and the The Constitution(Founding Spirits Dry Gin infused with blueberry, ginger & chamomile, lemon).
