Excellent atmosphere and great service!

Food was average. Drinks were great and service was amazing! Brunch may not be the time to go for this restaurant.

Great service, great environment, and great food! Would definitely be coming back to this location again soon!

Loved everything about this place except that you guys add a COVID fee of $9 on top of $20 tax and a suggested $50 tip on the bill. Also was told shots of Hennessy was $14 got the bill for 4 and it was $18 per shot. He said that was the old price but that’s clearly false advertisement. When I asked to explain what it was he said the $9 was to provide the staff with mask and gloves. You guys don’t provide it to your guest so you shouldn’t charge to support YOUR employees and expect to tip them normally as well. It looks like your overpriced and just adding your own prices to the bill. Very distasteful! Food was delicious though.

The food was a lot better than I expected. Would definitely go back for breakfast again.

Everything was fantastic!!

We liked the appetizer (Salmon and egg salad on an open faced sandwich, but we were very disappointed with the entrees. I did not like the pork chop - it was very salty and dry; and my partner Tom's roast beef (10 oz) was very touch.

Great place! Food is delicious, servers are super friendly, and setting is cozy!

While the ambiance and service were great, I was disappointed when my order for "chicken and waffles" arrived, and the chicken looked like it was from a kids menu, resembling the smallest leftovers. This is not my first time at FF, so I am aware of the portion sizes, and what I received was not it. I don't want to be the person the send back an order, so I ate in peace but I will appreciate it if this doesn't happen again. Thank you.

Nicholas was a server and he was amazing!! Had a nice time. Good food. Menu needs more descriptions for some items - e.g. Shrimp and Grits with Andouille sausage had much more going on that the listing implied.

Phenomenal customer service!! The food and drinks were also good.

The food was tasty and the service was good.

Inside the dining room is very cold.

Happily surprised by how well this place is operated! Very short wait to be seated, rapidly greeted and supplied with beverages. Knowledgeable staff assisted with selections and food was quickly prepared and served, exactly as ordered. Will definitely return for brunch!!

This was our first time here, we traveled a good distance to try this place. We were taken to our table which wasn’t even cleaned before we were brought to it. That alone changed the whole experience of that night. Granted we were sitting outside, our food was cold upon arrival. The fact that everything was made it house was the highlight, until we wanted to try the house whiskey. The server didn’t even know that you were out of all your house whiskey.

Made a reservation for indoor seating and was ready to experience what they had to offer. Arrived at the location it was nice welcoming located at bottom of a office building. Walked in told them my name we was walked to the back of the Restaraunt then outside told the hostess my reservation was for inside, instead of checking or just trying seat me else where he sworn me up & down it was for outside & told me to show him proof. I was never so embarrassed in front my date & others. After all that then wanna say ok & sit me by the back door where waiters go in/out for the outside people where all the cold air made it so uncomfortable coming in on us. If it wasn't for our great waitress making up for the terrible start to my visit. Food was great, prices reasonable, my waitress service excellence everything else typical of a place that workers think they're to good But when customers like me stop coming they wonder why they have no job.

Great southern comfort food. The skillet cornbread was unimoressive but the chicken/waffles was delicious. Also the hot toddy was unique and perfect for a cold day. It was very chilly inside though which wasn't ideal. Overall a great experience though and can't wait to try more of the menu.

The food was delicious, however our server seemed a little over taxed with tables, so she was slow to take and deliver our orders. Additionally, being seated inside without the heat on (57 degrees to be exact) made it difficult to enjoy our meal, being cold ourselves, and having our food cold.

Outdoor dining tent setting was terrible -great service though

Even though my date and I dined in the heated outdoor tent on a very windy evening, the service and food were excellent. The noise from the wind aside, it was very quiet inside the tent. I've dined at Founding Farmers many times, and it's always a great experience. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed everything & felt staff did a great job minimizing contact and maintains COVID safety exposure. My only disappointment was that it was quite cold due to opening the door to outside dining tents. Granted, it was an unusually cold day, but my coffee kept getting cold.

The breakfast was perfect. Great food, terrific service all around. Very nice people.

We had a bad experience at Farmers and Distillery a week earlier and were offered a gift card and tried this place. Great service and food.

Food and drinks were delicious.

Great food and location. We felt safe and comfortable.

Love this place! I will come here every time I visit DC.

When we arrived we were seated promptly but it took about 10 minutes before a wait staff came to the table. I was actually looking online to leave and make reservations elsewhere when she finally came to our table. It was extremely cold downstairs so we asked to be seated upstairs. Doug was pretty prompt coming to our table but service diminished after that. The food came out quickly but I noticed my dish, shrimp n grits, which I’ve ordered before was less in the bowl. It took Doug a while to make sure our food was ok. When we finished we asked him for a to go container which he never brought. After a very LONG wait I finally asked another lady to bring it. Doug passed by our table and asked if we were ok and I informed him someone else had to bring our container since you didn’t. I asked for the check. He tenured the check but never came to pick up my card after passing our table a few times. He actually passed by and asked if everything was ok and when I mentioned the surcharge pandemic fee, he laughed said I didn’t do it and kept going. We sat there waiting for him to come back and after a lengthy wait I decided to go downstairs to pay so we could leave. We had BEEN finished eating and was tired of just sitting and waiting for him. Although I left I tip, I seriously considered not leaving one since I was charged a fee and he felt the need to laugh at my concern, keep going and never return.

My server Emerson was amazing. He was so professional and accommodating. The food was very good and I was extremely pleased with my dining experience!

We made reservations for the day after Valentine’s Day and had a wonderful time. The food was good and the ambiance. I didn’t care for the alcoholic beverage however they were flavorful.

My husband and I came for Brunch to end our Valentines Weekend in DC. Although there was no option to request indoor seating while making a reservation on the app, we ate outdoors in a tent. Our server Andre was amazing, attentive, and recommended almost everything we ordered. We will definitely be back and it was a great way to end a beautiful weekend. Whenever we visit DC this restaurant is always a must for us!!

The food and staff was great, staff was attentive and very friendly.

Host was inflexible with table requests even though there were several available when we arrived. Atmosphere would have been much better had we not been seated at center stage on display for the other guests 🥴 I will request a booth on future reservations. Waitress (KK?) was lovely, food and drinks were good, will definitely return.

Food was excellent. Although, I’m usually not for D.C. restaurants, the atmosphere provided a well-enough escape from the business of the city. Our server was wonderful and attentive. Wine selection is superb. Would definitely go again.

My server was excellent! The food however was barely warm at best...borderline cold...the best thing i had was the app of fried green tomatoes which was excellent but my fried chicken had no flavor nor did the mac and cheese...we were sat right next to the door so we were freezing the entire time. I was really disappointed, I’ve been only to the one in tysons corner and the dc founding farmers was a disappointment in comparison

Chili cheeseburger, salmon and catfish was good.
Crab artichoke dip I didn’t like, the strawberry ginger margarita taste like a ginger juice
But overall I had a nice time with good food

The food, drinks, and service were great! The chicken and waffles were a huge portion and delish. I loved the Strawberry Fizz cocktail as well. The only bad part was that we sat in the heated tent that was not very heated, so it was quite chilly.

Coffee was not hot and the service somewhat 'detached'. Other than that it was great food.

Awesome food !! Great service ! Lots of choices from brunch , dinner , drinks , desserts , specialty dishes and so much more ! You gotta definitely try Founding Farmers at meats once in your life !! This place is so good , it gets filled up quickly , so making a reservation is HIGHLY recommended!

The tent was below 40 degrees for brunch, even with the "heater" on.

Valentine’s Day brunch. The food was delicious and the service was amazing for such a busy day. Definitely recommend to make reservations ahead of time and specify whether you want to sit inside or outside as we had some issues with the seating.
