   Founding Farmers serves the most delicious food. We had a party of 10 and ordered a variety of menu items. Everyone raved about the flavor and quality of their food, and oh, my the portions made it worth the price. Our server, Ben, was attentive and friendly. The only issue we had was that a horrendous rain storm hit us and we were on the covered patio. There were leaks in the roof and two people got quite wet. Also, diners who needed to use the restroom had to go outside in the rain to get to the main entrance. An awning would be a wise addition here.

   A mixed experience. Some of the food was quite good. The service was a bit strange from the beginning. Kind of a forceful presentation of options when we already knew (and just wanted to give) our drink order. When we kept trying to ‘barge in’ the waiter kept going. This tone-deaf approach got worse later on when some food allergy issues got botched in the communication between us, and ultimately we spoke to the manager about the tone. Conflict around dinner is not an enjoyable way to spend a meal—so that was pretty weird. Having said that, the food was quite good and the manager and waiter were both genuinely apologetic after this. We would go back for another try and hope that this has improved on the return.

   Very disappointing visit to Ff moco. We come here often. Tonight the service was poor. They were out of a lot of items to which our server basically said “yeah that’s what you get for going out on a Monday night”. The food was mediocre at best. Things were cold including the fries. Steak was overdone. Burger way under. Server rarely checked back. Everything took so incredibly long. Wanted desert but did not order bc we knew it would be at least another 30 min.

   Way overpriced, especially kids portions, food quality average at best. They call it 7 Cheese Mac and Cheese but the pasta was a soggy unsalted rigatoni with more breadcrumbs than cheese. Fried Chicken is Ok, had to ask for some the items though to be served with it according to the menu. Would not visit again.

   We sat in an outdoor enclosed patio and it was nice. The roof had shutter like openings for controlling the amount of outside air and also the side panels could be opened when desired. The food was good and the service ok. The brisket was very good and nicely soft. One surprising thing was that they didn't have Ginger, Sprite or Seven Up as a mixer for bourbon. Instead, they provided their own lemonade which wasn't a good pairing with bourbon, but we were able to return it.

   Thank you for sharing your experience, Izzy! We are glad you enjoyed the patio and the brisket. We appreciate your feedback on the mixers and are happy we could make things right. Hope to welcome you back soon! -Najjah
