Great food! The staff did a great job today.

Overall a terrific experience. We all loved our food.

Best breakfast in the city !

Worst post-pandemic meal I've had. This place used to be good, so hopefully it was just because they are coming out of lockdown. But for what we paid, we will not be returning.

Did not really get to experience the food on this visit because of a pop-up rain downpour that drove us in from the patio to the dining room. Since the dining room was full, we made the decision to cancel our entree orders and get the check having only consumed cocktails which were delicious. The point of me sharing this experience is to recognize all the staff, particularly the managers and patio servers, who did an excellent job in a difficult situation. The rain literally popped up out of no where and gave no time to move indoors — requiring quick action on both staff and patrons. The staff were all hospitality-centered and genuinely appeared concerned for our well being. Kudos to them for taking lemons and making lemonade. P.S. - I have been to Founding Farmers on Penn Ave in DC before and have always found the food and service excellent. Keep up the good work.

My god daughter birthday was everything! Thanks again for having us

Delicious food served on a lovely outdoor patio with craft cocktails (the cucumber one is amazing!). Our dog came with us and was treated like royalty. This is a great local restaurant that I adore and encourage you to try!

Great people and great place. Love the brunch menu.

Great location for brunch. Food is excellent and service was as well.

Incredible hash browns! Skip the sausage next time, but overall delicious food and great experience.

Excellent food and service. Waitress recommendations were very good. Only craft beer available

Waitress C was a disaster. Really aggressive. Not helpful. Avoided us when the food she brought out was incorrect. Assumed wings was for a plant based eater after instructed who they were for.

Didn’t apologize. Just super unfortunate because we drive an hour to visit the location often.

Praying we never have to be served by her again.

Salad had hair
Manager comp’d meal which wasn’t AN issue but kept pressing us to take other items to go.

Just a disaster.

They can blacken the salmon and it’s incredible.

Our server Doug was great! It was our first time there & he was so helpful. The food was delicious & everything was served quickly. Would definitely recommend!

Food was amazing and the staff was friendly.

our server was very very unprofessional. terrible experience.

Food and ambiance was great

Awesome atmosphere, good service, and excellent food.

Our reservation wasn’t ready on time and service was extremely, extremely slow. Great food though!

Breakfast was really taste and the freshly made juices were a real treat.

Sitting outside on the patio felt really safe and our waiter was amazing. His mask kept falling down which was unfortunate, but we could tell he was trying to fix it. I’d recommend the restaurant purchase masks for everyone to avoid those issues. Some people may not have been as forgiving.

Great food. We loved the outdoor seating and the service was fantastic.

Everything was great from the drinks to the food. Will be visiting again.

Our waiter was great and so was the service.

First time at Founding Farmers on Saturday. Excellent food, environment and sat outside. We will definitely return.

I decided to take my wife and daughter here brunch yesterday. This place has a very high overall rating. I was very disappointed with the food and the service.
I ordered eggs which happened to be the best food item on my plate. The hash browns was burnt on the outside and undercooked in the middle. The chicken sausage was dry and disgusting. Finally I had the French toast that came as this small rectangular loaf.
My wife had crab Benedict made with all filling and very little crab.
My daughter had flavorless ham.
To top it off the waitress and bartender has no idea what a traditional mimosa was. Management was very attentive. Probably would never recommend this place or come back ever again.

Amazing as always! Always enjoy breakfast here, they never disappoint!

Great service and great food!

GREAT comfort food. Strong service. Working hard to make it a safe place in these challenging times... I'm really grateful for them making life a little better by being there.

The service was great. Clean and the food was very good.

Excellent Bloody Mary and beignets. Breakfast Chicken & Waffles desperately needs help.

Great food

My husband and I enjoyed ourselves. The precautions they have in place during COVID were great! Everyone was very nice and knowledgeable. Our waiter did a great job of going over the menu as it was our first time. The food and drinks were excellent!

Best food and drinks I've had in the city. I was very impressed

Delicious food and even more delicious drinks, especially the sodas! Service was quick and very accommodating, highly recommend for anyone spending the day in DC

Had a great lunch meeting half way with a friend from Baltimore. Portions always equal to the value paid for them, and of course, very delicious. One of our families favorites in Washington.

Founding Farmers has always been one of my favorites. I’m not sure if it’s the pandemic, but the food nor the service were as I remember (previously great as opposed to now fair) . Disappointed doesn’t encompass my sentiment. The service was slow. It took literally 22 minutes for me to get a flat ginger soda that’s made fresh On site. I let the waiter know and he apologized and took it back and made me another. He was gracious and returned with a new drink. The next one was less flat but flat all the same. Then, the food was not that great for having taken as long as it did to arrive. My catfish was overcooked and my grits were bland and slightly loose. My fried green tomatoes were good as were my green beans but that isn’t saying a lot. My S.O. said his fish and chips were ok. All in all, in these times if and when people choose to spend their hard earned money in any establishment, value means more than anything. Especially, when adding an additional 4.5% service charge on top. I can’t say if I’ll give it another go.

The catfish dinner was not very good at all. The sides were cold, especially the macaroni. As a matter of fact, the macaroni texture was tough and rubbery. The size of the catfish portion was an affront to any fish-loving person. It appeared to be about a third the size of the whole catfish. It came from the tailend of the catfish. It was very thin meaning flat without much meat.

I replaced the meal with a salad. The salad was hastily thrown together. It did not taste like the same salad I ordered 2 weeks prior. I value consistency. I am a fan of this restaurant. This was the worst experience by far.

Me and some friends had recently tried there brunch and loved it so we decided to come back for dinner. Service wasn’t the best this time around though. Two of us received our drinks moments after ordering it while the others didn’t get there’s till after the appetizer came out. We ordered wings to start but our waiter came back and said they were just all out which is fine. Our waiter then came back to take our entrees, half of us wanted dishes that included crab and when we asked our waiter told us how they ran out during brunch. We all felt this should’ve been told to us before we had been looking through the menu so some of us were pretty upset about it. In the end the food we had ordered was alright but service was bit of a let down. It could’ve just been a one time thing tho because brunch was great.

Excellent service and amazing food.
