    Founders House has been our Thanksgiving dinner destination for the last three years. We always look forward to the experience. The menu consists of your choice of traditional turkey dinner, prime rib, or baked stuffed shrimp. The turkey is moist and delicious, the prime rib cooked perfectly and the shrimp generously stuffed with tasty stuffing. All are served with mashed potatoes potatoes (best I’ve ever had) and perfectly sautéed whole green beans. The specialty cocktails are amazing and service is impeccable. Many thanks to Founders House for making our Thanksgiving meal so special.

    We went out for brunch and sat at a table for two. We ordered drinks - a mimosa flight, and I got the coquito flight. It was so good!!! We had the deviled eggs with bacon to share, and my friend got the red velvet waffle while I had the Cannoli French Toast. The food was delicious. They started with Christmas music, and then it changed to R&B. It was a great vibe. We were able to have a great conversation, and we weren't rushed at all. I'll be back cause I loved it.
