   Sunday brunch was packed. Downstains dining was too noisy. Tables are a little too close together. The food was disappointing-eggs were too salty, side salad very small. No butter or jam delivered with toast.

   Our server was great! Friendly and helpful answering questions. Food came in decent time and she allowed us to continue to visit when we were finished.

   Loved the food and drinks (wine and margarita) Our waitress ‘Emily’ was great, smiles, and attentive to our needs and requests. The only con was that we ordered an espresso and unfortunately watered down coffee was served. Emily shared after that the machine had not been working properly. Other than that everything was great. Breaded Chicken dish, spareribs dish, and hamburger w/Fries.

   We had a party of seven with three children. Our reservation was made well in advance and confirmed. We arrived on time, and waited a short time for our table. The table where we were seated (a corner booth) was not suitable for our party. Service was very slow, particularly for a party with children. Our reservation was at 6:00 and we did not finish our meal until 9:00 pm. Compared to other visits to Founding Farmers, the food was not great. The bill was $400+ and the younger children only ate Mac and Cheese. Will not visit this location again.

   Restaurant was freezing cold (at our table), waited over 10 minutes even with a reservation, service was extremely slow, waiter forgot some items, and food was not as good as usual. Disappointed as FF is usually better.

   Hi Stuart. I am really sorry to hear about your experience. That’s certainly not the standard we aim to provide. I can understand how frustrating it must have been with the cold, slow service, and missed items. Please know that we appreciate your feedback, and I’ll be sure to pass it along to the team so we can improve moving forward. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with the excellent experience you’ve come to expect from us. -Najjah

    They forgot my cornbread, then brought me a piece that had obviously been in the fridge. They over corrected and brought the next piece so hot that I had to let it sit for a while. Entrees were french dip sandwich, Cracker shrimp and chicken and waffles. All the entrees were great except for the cornbread problems. Got devils food cake with ice cream for dessert that was a disappointment. The cake was dry. I would go back. I think my expectations were too high.
