We stopped in around 3pm for a late lunch/early dinner and we were seated right away by a someone…read morewho seemed like it may have been their first day. Very polite and attentive! After a few minutes, our waitress came over and we placed our order. I have been here multiple times before and their house made cheeseburger soup is AWESOME. A must get if you stop in. My partner and I just wanted to split a few things so we ordered the Grazianos Italian Nachos as a started and split a bowl of cheeseburger soup and a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. Our waitress caught on to us splitting and without requesting, split the "bowl" of soup into 2 cups without charging us extra and even split the sandwich and fries between 2 plates and gave us each the fixings and an extra bun ALL FOR NO EXTRA COST. It was such a nice gesture, we were so surprised and hadn't even thought to ask. We made sure to leave a generous tip for the hospitality. Food was hot, fresh, and tasty! Sandwich was huge (a must for a tenderloin sandwich) and the cheeseburger soup was delicious as always. The inside of the restaurant has a fun townie bar vibe to it, which I find quite charming. All in all, a great experience and I'll always come back for that soup!

Bad service and really bad food.... Again. I went there for lunch yesterday. Only 2 tables…read moreof people and I ordered hot wings a half our later and got chicken nuggets that were cold. Casey's is better.... Then the waiter paid someone else's check with my credit card. I'll never go back

Very lively BBQ spot!! They have a decent sized parking lot, which is good because this place is…read morealways busy. It can get pretty full and loud, probably because they're great for large groups and families. The atmosphere is very fun. I like that they have meat challenges and their news articles all over the walls. They also have a big bar and plenty of TVs to watch games. The BBQ was pretty good! I got the Two BBQ Dinner 2 Meat: Pulled pork, pulled chicken, Campfire baked beans, and jalapeño cream corn. The BBQs sauces on the table really helped it. The classic is rich and sweet, and the hot had a bit of kick to it. The meat was tender. The baked beans were pretty good- I liked that it was a variety of beans. The jalapeño creamed corn wasn't spicy in the least but it was still my favorite. It was creamy and warm!! Service was nice and it didn't take too long, even with how crowded it was.

We stumbled upon this BBQ spot right across from the Adventureland campgrounds, and honestly it was…read morethe perfect find after a long day. The vibe is exactly what you want from a casual BBQ joint laid back, a little loud, TVs on, and that classic neighborhood bar feel. Super easy, no pressure, just good food and a place to hang out. We ordered a mix of things to try and everything came out hot and packed with flavor. The wings were crispy and saucy (definitely a highlight), and the waffle fries were seasoned perfectly and so good dipped in their ranch. The BBQ plate was super solid too tender, smoky meat with classic sides like green beans, mac and cheese, and cornbread that felt comforting and homemade. Also have to mention the chips and queso moment, simple but hit the spot. Service was friendly and quick, which made it even better after a long day of traveling and being outside. Overall, if you're staying at Adventureland or passing through, this is such an easy, satisfying stop. Nothing fancy, just good, hearty BBQ and a fun atmosphere. Would definitely come back.

Stopped for lunch during a bike ride & sat outside. It was nice with the umbrella…read more We shared a grinder--some places will cut it in half but we had to use a plastic knife. The grinder was good & had plenty of meat. I thought it was a bit salty but friend didn't notice. Fries were tasty. The waitress was the only worker & did a good job of keeping up. The table could've used a good scrub. Menus could use a refresh. We had plastic silverware--perhaps a change post Covid? A nice stop off the bike path.

Founders Irish Pub in Bondurant is one of our regular midpoint stops on bicycle adventures, and…read moreoverall it is still a place we enjoy coming back to. The patio is nice, the location is great, and the weekly specials and prices are still fair. On this visit, I believe we got some complimentary chips and salsa, and I ordered the Southwest Eggrolls for $9.99. The eggrolls were awesome. Most of the time we are here more for drinks, sunshine, and a patio break than a full meal, but the food we have had has been good. That said, Founders can be a little hit or miss. Service really depends on who is working, and the patio and patio games are starting to feel a little tired. I get it -- good help is hard to find, and it is probably tough to predict how busy any given night will be. We forgive you, and we will likely be back again and again. My honest note to ownership would be this: take a close look at the place and do not let it slip much further toward the "dive bar" category. The location is a gold mine, especially for cyclists and patio people. A little freshening up outside and some staff training on drink making and beer selection would go a long way. Still a good stop, still fair prices, and still a place we will keep coming back to -- just hoping it gets a little love before it slides too far.
