    Chocolate Cheesecake
    Caroline N.

    I visited Founding Famers for dinner on a Monday with a large group from my association. Despite there being about 18 of us, our servers were attentive and timely! We were given an event-specific abbreviated menu and were served cornbread and spicy tuna wontons as appetizers. I had never had cornbread with actual corn in it, but it added to the sweetness and was delicious. The honey butter was also delicious and paired well with it. As I'm not usually a poke person, I didn't love the spicy tuna's texture and didn't eat much of it. My chosen entree was the Au Poivre Steak Frites with Chives and béarnaise aioli. Wow. I had never had steak frites before (although I've had steak and fries separately) and I couldn't be happier with this dish at Founding Farmers to serve as my first experience. Altogether it was flavorful and the steak was cooked to my liking at medium but was still so soft and juicy. The fries were perfectly crispy as well! Upon perusing the drinks menu, I found the Farmer's Daughter Farmer's Daughter (Founding Spirits vodka, domaine de cantor, st. Germaine, lime, passion fruit, raspberry, bitters) which was sweet cut through with the perfect amount of tart. Wow. I got a second one and was tipsy. Our dessert was a chef's special chocolate cheesecake that was indeed decadent and rich in flavor. Delicious! Overall I was so impressed with my meal that I tried out the Chinatown location of Founding Farmers. Spoiler alert -- I like my steak frites more than my goat cheese burger.

    A solid meal every time. This is my favorite Ladies who Lunch place and today it was the B*tches who Breakfast place I inhaled the French toast with strawberries and fresh whipped cream (so fast I didn't even get a photo) and enjoyed a latte in the cutest old fashioned teacup. Founding Farmers also hosted the whole family last month for my cousin's graduation from GW. Great service every time and I have never had a bad meal here. Their menu has something for everyone of all ages and palates.

    Never had a bad meal at Founding Farmers! Street parking around is available. Indoor and outdoor seating options available, will have occasional chirping visitors outdoors, but not too crazy! Had reservations for early Sunday, plenty of seating so not a concern. Friendly staff quickly seated and order out promptly. Attentive staff ensures needs are taken care of. Hash good mix of protein with crisp fresh veggies as well. Eggs cooked perfectly for a great way to start the day! Casual atmosphere here to enjoy meeting with friends to catch up or just a solo enjoyable meal!

    Wonderful service from this very busy restaurant! Glad we had reservations, but they are able to take many walk ins, seating is available inside, upstairs and down, and outside. Loved all the food! We had salads, meat loafs, pot roasts, a crop list platter, and a farmers platter. And don't forget the desserts! We had apple pies, carrot cake, and a bunch of their famous cookies! See the menu! Upstairs is mellow and almost elegant, with a great display of their founding farmers tome and decadent chocolate gifts, and there are more rr there. Elevator is right next to the rr line, which grows steadily downstairs. The beverage menu (with or without alcohol) is extensive;), do indulge, you deserve it! There are also several beverages with unlimited refills (lemonade, Arnold Palmer, iced tea). (There's blockaded construction on the street, so your ride share will have to drop you off in the street, and you'll need to walk up the street to the crosswalk, in order to get to the restaurant entrance.) Enjoy!

    Chimichurri Skirt Steak & Chicken Enchiladas*
    Rebecca A.

    I'm from California and came here for the first time yesterday...and oh my goodness!!! Everything was amazing! The enchiladas I ordered were the best enchiladas I've eaten! They remind me of the enchiladas in Morelia, Mexico. Extremely authentic, and that's coming from someone who's half Mexican. The steak was perfectly cooked. We also had the biscuits which were great! The service was great and the restaurant was busy but peaceful. We made another reservation for today. Can't wait!

    I have been to a Founding Farmers in a different state before. It was pretty good. This location in Foggy Bottom is cute. Parking is located on the street or public lots. You could also choose to take the metro in and walk. It is not a horrible walk, a few blocks. I highly recommend booking a reservation. We were seated within 10-15 minutes of our reservation. The food met all my expectations. The biscuits were fresh, and paired with jam. The bananas foster french toast was so sweet as to be expected, and so flavorful!. The thickness for the bread allowed for a soft center but a crispy exterior. But, my honestly my favorite was the blueberry pancakes really hit the spot. They may have been so simple but boy were they perfect. The breakfast tacos with the salsa also fantastic! That salsa was nice and thick and not watery. Our meals were great! No complaints. Our waitress was very attentive, and on top of things. She was always making sure we were taking care of. We really enjoyed our meal here and plan to return.

    My first weekend brunch here in DC was beyond my expectations. So much so that I went back the next day for more. If there was a Founding Farmers Restaurant near me, I would be a regular. There is ample seating both inside and outside. I particularly like sitting outside on warm sunny days. Whilst enjoying my iced mocha coffee I shared a plate of hot and crisp Uncle Buck's beignets. It took me by surprise how excellent they were. The caramel, chocolate and raspberry sauces really put them over the top! I've had the breakfast street tacos, founding father's breakfast, beef pastrami hash, Maine blueberry compote waffle, side of French toast and mini farmers salad. There was not one breakfast item that I didn't love. Service here is top notch and they go out of their way to make sure your meal is perfect. The food quality here is exceptional.

    1000% local sourced and homemade. Every single things here tastes like it was picked out of a garden and made in a kitchen that day. My waffle was flaky and delicious. The blueberry compote tasted organic and delicious. My wife and my friend both devoured their meals and drinks. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. Our party of 3 was sat within 10 minutes even when they were busy. I absolutely recommend checking this place out during your visit to DC. One of the best brunch spots in town.

    Ok I'm not one for giving ANOTHER Five Stars to a restaurant that has 22k reviews but when you earn it, you earn it!!! Founding Farmers is EVERYTHING it's cracked up to be! While many DC eateries can feel stuffy this dining room felt homely and welcoming with its wood decor and cabin vibe. We got into DC late after 9 hrs of traveling and were hungry! We left our hotel nearby and saw this place on the corner with the clever DC punny name. When we saw that 22k people decided to review and give it almost perfect scores we had to try it and so flag we did! We were sat immediately by the two friendly hostesses and our outstanding server Ricardo visited with us for a little before helping us breakdown the menu. I had a genuinely difficult time choosing a selection with the farm to table freshness making everything look so good! Ricardo made it clear he loves his job and the food and asked clarifying questions before we ordered our meal with crossed fingers. We landed on an incredible and well portioned burger with fries, the highly popular chicken and waffles, and my order of grilled catfish with cheese grits and fresh green beans. WOW...my catfish was grilled to perfection and had a mango pico on top for that sweet kick. The grits were cooked fantastic as well and came with a healthy (not really healthy probably but delicious) portion next to the freshest, sweetest, and best green beans I've had since my grandmothers off the farm in Tennessee! Finally the chicken and waffles were served with pasta style Mac and Cheese, green beans, two waffles and four pieces of fried chicken! I hate when chicken and waffles offer tenders and these four pieces were moist and lightly breaded rather than crunchy with batter. They melted in your mouth. At the End of the Day, when I travel, I tend to diversify my choices of where I eat and rarely go back. In this case however, Founding Farmers has found a customer for life when I'm in the DC area and deserves every star it receives for the food, service by Ricardo, and southern charm around the entire establishment.

    Best peanut butter cup ever
    Dan S.

    By sheer providence, Founding Farmers has delivered me from a 25-year confectionery melancholy brought on by the tragic decline of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Their house-made "knockoff" is, in fact, no knockoff at all. It is a triumph. The peanut butter, the chocolate, the texture. All of it now superier to what Reese's once was before its unfortunate descent into mediocrity. They also offer their own version of a Twix, which is just splendid.

    Devil-ish Eggs ($12.99)
    Ameya B.

    This place showed up as one of the most reviewed and poplar places in DC, so we decided to check it out and made brunch reservations. We were seated 10 mins past our reservation time, but in a requested sunny outdoor space, on a rather nippy day in DC. Menu was all American comfort food, and our order consisted of Devil-ish Eggs ($12.99) and Chicken Pot Pie ($22.99). Food arrived within 15-mins of ordering, and while the service was quick, the food was just average. Nothing really stood out, other than the great service and friendly staff. Noise levels on the average end and easy to have conversations. The indoor seating looked more inviting than the outdoor one, especially the booth seating right behind their bar, which was quite lively too.

    Johnathan W.

    This place is top notch and the food is to die for! Came here to grab some breakfast with my fiancé. Walking in, we were greeted right away by the host. She said they were gonna seat us upstairs so we sat in the waiting area. I used the time to go to the bathroom and wash my hands. The bathroom was spacious and very clean. By the time I got back our table was ready, talk about super quick service. Our waiter came right up and took our drink order. I ordered the southside, which was an alcoholic drink. Yea I know it was breakfast but I'm sure it was 5 o clock somewhere so judge your mother lol. Anyways, after that we ordered our food. I ordered pancakes with pork sausages, cheese, grits, and scrambled eggs. My fiancé got steak, eggs, hash browns, and buttermilk biscuit. Our food took about five minutes to come out. Everything was so delicious and fresh. We devoured our food lol.

    Jose our server! And beautiful delicious drinks
    Stephen R.

    Wonderful experience. Jose was very personable and actually found out he is from our area in California! Super prompt meal service, great breakfast drinks. We came in hungry and leaving feeling happy and ready to take on the day. Great job Jose on your outstanding service and kindness to our group!

It was straight up LOUD when we arrived due to the music; so loud I debated on if we should stay but we decided on sticking here after seeing there were a couple spots at the bar and less of a crowd there. The bartenders are attentive and patient, answering any questions you have. After ordering a couple beers, I ordered the chicken wings and a side caesar salad while my friend got the fish and chips. The wings are crispy although dry on the inside; fortunately you got the ranch for that; probably not something I would order again given the quality and price. The caesar salad is fine; nothing special, just fine. The fish and chips looked delicious and my friend enjoyed it. I probably should've gone with that but it was a large portion and I wasn't trying to leave on a full stomach. It's breaded nicely with some parmesan fries and a garnish of slaw. I can tell it's a favorite here. Located in Dupont Circle, this seems to be a favorite of the younger crowd which would explain the blaring music; especially on a Wednesday night at 930ish. The restaurant interior gives an upscale elegant vibe that suites the DC scene. Maybe I'll come here for lunch or on the weekend if I'm in the area but I'm too old for the loud music now. Sit outside (if weather permits).

They made sure to keep our table clean and gave us new silverware and plates before or entrees arrived. Any food that we did not finish was boxed up and put into bags for us. The manager was actively walking around the restaurant, making sure that every guest were enjoying their dinner. The food was good all around but there are some dishes that outshine the rest. The ribeye and New York strip were very good. The butchers steak I got for my son and he didn't really like it, it was lacking flavor. If you do anything when you go, please make sure to get the biscuits. Hands down THE BEST BISCUITS I've ever had lol. They are the most flaky and buttery biscuits, you can count each layer that these have. Pro tip is to ask for butter and the house made jam. The pimento cheese is good with them but it becomes a little too decadent. Overall I'm happy we made the decision to come here, we will be back soon.

Despite this and the crowded bar area, my party of 3 was still seated immediately at a booth in one of the many dining rooms. The atmosphere was both lively at the bar area and calm in the dining areas. Despite how fancy and old-timey the building is, it seems like the vibe is casual. Our attentive waiter informed us that the kitchen closed at 12:30am, so we ordered quickly. I got the: Hamilton burger 4/5 sunny-side up egg, bacon, b&b pickles, tilamook cheddar, dijionaise, house-made brioche bun This tall burger had a thick, juicy patty that paired so well with the egg, bacon, and cheese. I opted to remove the pickles. Considering it was served with fries, this was a reasonably priced meal for a popular destination in the city. BIRD IS THE WORD 4/5 planteray '3 star' rum, smith + cross jamaican rum, daytrip strawberry amaro, demerara, pineapple, lime Sweet, fruity, refreshing cocktail! Nothing to write home about but was indeed a delicious experience.

They used to bring complimentary bread with a delicious salty butter but they now charge $9 for that. They used to have a great happy hour for drinks and bites but now they only offer $5 off select sushi rolls during HH. The selection is kind of blah now, there wasn't much that stood out for me to order. The kids meals were also mediocre, especially the pizza.
