Water service said he’d bring water. He did not. Waiter spoke of quality and service. Quality was there, service was not. Awaited water, ordered drinks and an appetizer. Appetizer came way before water, drinks, or even plates for appetizer. Consumed the above without any service engagement further. Had to ask for check; waited another 15 min. Gave card immediately upon check approach as to not wait another significant amount of time.

With a reservation, there was a lengthy wait time and customers without reservations were seated before customers with reservations. Once seated, the service was extremely slow; so slow, we ordered appetizer to be brought out with the entree. It was so loud, we could barely hear the waiter. The food was good but definitely not good enough to return with such slow/bad service.

The service was poor. Waiter never checked on us and we wanted drinks. I never received the salad I ordered. Meal came quickly but it seemed like we were sittin g waiting forever. Food was not hot when came out. Fries were barely warm and the chicken pot pie was not hot. Have been there before and liked the restaurant. This experience makes me question if we should go again.

Consistently a wonderfully casual and delicious eatery. Trey our server is our “go to” guy every time we frequent the Founding Farmers and wow the deviled eggs and wings are delicious. We seem to always resort to the fresh fish which is prepared simply with mashed potatoes and veggies - a side of biscuits is always a good addition. Desserts are fantastic. Probably one of the best chocolate cakes out there and the Jefferson donut is in a class unto itself … actually more like a French style pastry than a donut. Definitely worth frequenting and Trey is fantastic!

I wish we had known it was a buffet style brunch. When I have made reservations at another Founding Farmers it has stated that. This time it didn’t and we were expecting a full service brunch. The food has been sitting under heat lamps for way too long and there wasn’t enough food to accommodate everyone. We were waiting awhile for servers to refill things. It was not the relaxing brunch we had hoped to take our family to.

Our food was great but the service not so much. Our server barely checked on us. We asked for a drink from the bar twice and still never received it. We were going to order dessert but the server was gone for so long that we decided we didn’t want to wait to get dessert because who knew how long that would take her. And sure enough it took forever for our check. We enjoyed the food but would’ve been nice if the overall experience was enjoyable.

Very nice restaurant with good atmosphere and great service. The food is good but pricey. Biscuits were delicious but the tomato soup bowl was very small especially for $9.50. it was more like a cup and should have been half the price. Burger, Shrimp Salad and pot roast were all tasty. But we did not have alcohol, or dessert. The total for 3 with tip was $120! That's a lot.

Our waitress Julia was great. The food was delicious, but a little over-priced. Other things were irritating. Why make reservations for a certain time and then be made to wait an additional 15 minutes because the hostess failed to make sure a table would be ready? And there was no communication as to why we were waiting. I asked for club soda and got flat water. Our appetizer plates were dirty. For the price of the food, I expect a better overall experience.

The food was meh. There were some highlights. Bread and spread was very good. Mac n cheese and burger were good. But the misses were big. Ravioli was huge disappointment. The filling was very bland and the “sauce” was a pool of oil with some sage. Literally, a pool. The only thing good about it was the homemade pasta, but that couldn’t save the dish. Dessert was awful. I never thought that “death by chocolate” could be bad. It was flat and boring, and blah. It was basically a huge bowl of mediocre ice cream with a drizzle of “hot fudge” (which wasn’t warm and was a dead ringer for Hershey syrup), and a tiny dollop of tasteless whip cream. There were some chunks of nearly flavorless “brownies” at the bottom. I was at a loss as to how brownies could lack flavor, but then I tried the doughnuts, and they were flavorless, too. Just sticky, chewy dough. SO disappointing. There is a 5% recovery tax, but this particular restaurant did an incredibly bustling to-go business, while their staff was laid off, so I’m not sure why they have this. Maybe their downtown restaurants took a big hit, but I just don’t love the idea that I’m subsidizing the restaurant. I’ve been giving very large tips when I eat at a restaurant, because it’s the employees who were hit the hardest.

I was excited to try this restaurant based on great experiences at affiliated locations. This noise level was so high that it ruined the experience for our group. We couldn't hear each other from across the table. And we weren't just old folks, one in our group was 18. The acoustics of the restaurant are awful. The food was good, not great. Stick with their specialties like fried chicken and you will enjoy.

Hands down my favorite brunch spot in the area. It's all you can eat greatness. Just make sure you reserve a table as wait times are usually an hour if you don't. Also, reserve well in advance.

The restaurant is decent but starting to show its age. The food was good enough but won't wow you. The waiter we had was not good, not sure if he was new or tired or just didn't care. He would come introduce himself, no smiles, not showing any energy or excitment. After we ordered he literally won't show back up for 30-45 mins at a time, so the 2 and half hours we were there we only saw him twice. We also ordered soda and that was never brought out to us and saw the charge on the bill, which we had to ask him to take it off. Other than that the front hostess was good, had great energy and attitude. Also, the entrance to the parking garage was closed by the restaurant, so we had to drive around to enter from the 3 floor of the garage and drive in circles to P1. No signs on P1 where the restaurant was and my family with young kids ended up coming out where Palms was and walking a big circle to get to Founding Farmers.

I met a friend I had not seen in 20 years, which we told our server when we arrived. She told us to take our time and enjoy catching up. My beer was lukewarm and had been poured poorly (too much foam). The steak was sinewy and the fries were obviously leftovers from earlier (soggy and old). Our original server was lovely and provided great service but once she left, her replacement visited our table three times in a ten minute span to ask if we were finished. It got to the point where my friend just old them to take her plate, with only half her salmon gone and her vegetables and salad completely untouched. The server then brought two “to go” cups for our alcoholic beverages and we had to sit on the curb outside to finish them…while another table of guests continued to eat in the restaurant. It was bizarre and uncomfortable experience that us two middle aged professionals (who tip very well) weren’t accustomed to or expecting. We made the best out of and still had a good time, but I definitely would never invite a guest to join me at this location again or ever visit it with my family.

Loved the atmosphere and the prices for the amount and quality of the food can’t be beat. The little coffee and pastry bar at the front of the restaurant was pretty awesome as well! Highly recommend!
