Breakfast Plate with breakfast sausage
Rebecca C.

Brunch options here are reasonably priced and delicious. Not crowded as they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. But we recommend you make a reservation. Crab cakes eggs Benedict was delicious, hollandaise sauce was creamy, side of hashbrowns was crisp and fried nicely. The breakfast plate had just one sausage on it, which was a big surprising. Waitress was nice, food came out quickly.

Pot Roast Meal
Nicardi C.

Great Father's day dinner at Founding Fathers. I made a reservation for seven people and our table was ready upon arrival. We had a beautiful table outside and our server Henri was excellent. Founding farmers has delicious food so I decided to try a new dish. Therefore, I had the Pot Roast and it didn't disappoint. Thanks Founding farmers for an great dinner!

Buttermilk Biscuit Espresso Martini
Anita J.

This place is very large with both indoor and outdoor seating. There are tables, bar seating, and they are able to accommodate large parties. Be sure to make a reservation though! They were very popular for weekend brunch. Service was excellent! Our server was very kind and attentive. Drinks: - Espresso martini: alcohol flavor is not too overpowering, not too sweet. great! - hot drip coffee: good coffee that won't disappoint. They will refill the hot coffee for free Food: - The food was overall under-salted which I prefer as I can tailor to my preferred saltiness - Buttermilk biscuits: the biscuits were SO GOOD. They were warm, crispy outside and soft inside. They were served with some whipped butter and strawberry jam. It was truly so good - Founding Farmers Breakfast: nothing bad to say! I got the pork sausage which was maple smoked and it was good - Chef Joe's original scramble: Really good mix of ingredients. A hefty amount of food! - Spinach, cheese, mushroom and onion pan scramble: very good! - Side of bacon: comes with 2 slices, on the floppier side - Fresh fruit: typical bowl of fruit - Maple syrup at tableside: VERY good. Each bottle had a few sticks of cinnamon in them which really imparted a great flavor. Overall really recommend!

Breakfast combo. Don't order chicken sausage.

They are still holding strong. I love how fresh the food is. The service here is top notch. Next time I will try their benignts. Sp. I got the breakfast platter... i got French toast, grits (yummy) . Parking is a pain but worth the wait.. It can get noisy. I suggest getting here early!

Chimichurri Steak & Chicken Enchiladas

Founding Farmers Potomac Park accommodated reservations for than 6 people better than several other restaurants we tried on Father's Day. Our friendly and attentive waiter, Ruben listened to our multi-generational family's many varied requests and executed everything as expected. Oh and we all loved our meals!

The food is amazing and super delicious. Ingredients of good quality. Our server was Maria and she was super nice, professional and super friendly.

Steak & Eggs*, Classic Brioche French Toast, Hash Browns
Lam B.

I did not expect Founding Farmers to be one of my favorite meals during my visit, and it ended up being the most reasonably priced as well. They were packed during Saturday brunch, so a reservation is a must. Everyone was very kind, and our server Erika truly made the experience. She gave great recommendations, especially the brûléed grapefruit, and made sure those who ordered the steak and eggs were comfortable with medallions. She also encouraged us to try the beignets, which ended up being a hit at the table. The food came out quickly, though I did wish my coffee had arrived first. *Mocha: came in the cutest cupware. The whipped cream on top was thick and cold, cooling down each sip right away. The espresso was already sweetened, giving it a rich, chocolatey mouthfeel. This was definitely up my alley as I prefer a sweeter morning drink. *Crab Cake Benedict: came with a single side, which I chose as the brûléed grapefruit. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the crab cake was tender and moist. The English muffin was nicely toasted, and while the hollandaise was tasty, I wished there was a bit more of it. *Bruleed Grapefruit: so tasty and unique that it deserved its own highlight. The grapefruit had a natural balance of tartness and sweetness, enhanced by a thin layer of torched sugar on top. My whole party loved this, and it is a must order alongside something savory. *Beignets: a very shareable portion. They were rustic in shape with fluffy interiors. The dish came with raspberry, chocolate, and caramel sauces. The raspberry was my favorite because its sharpness balanced the powdered sugar well. Although recommended for two to three people, it could easily feed four or more since the pieces were quite large. *Steak and Eggs: a five dollar upcharge, but the quality justified it. The steak was the most tender and juicy I have had at a breakfast spot. They included two medallions, just as Erika mentioned, cooked perfectly rare and medium rare. The hash browns had a great crust without any mushiness inside. The entrée also came with bread, and the apple walnut raisin loaf had a nice earthiness. The in house butter was creamy and mild, adding a needed richness. *Classic Brioche French Toast: available as an add on for three dollars. The piece stayed crisp on the outside while remaining soft inside throughout the meal. It had good browning and sweetness on its own, so I did not need syrup. It was a bit heavy though, so I would not want a full portion. *Beef Pastrami: the chunks of pastrami were rich, fatty, and full of flavor. Similar to the benedict, I wished there was more of the creole mustard hollandaise, as the hash leaned dry and crispy. The bell peppers and onions added a nice sweetness. I also think this would have benefited from a proper side instead of bread, especially something lighter or more refreshing. My party left extremely satisfied and very full. Service was excellent throughout. The portions were generous, and I appreciated the in house sourcing. It is rare to see brunch prices under twenty dollars, and we were impressed by both the value and the execution.

Brandon, thank you for the exceptional service you provided. Your kindness, attentiveness, and genuine smile made our dining experience truly special. You went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and it did not go unnoticed. Your professionalism attitude created a very welcoming atmosphere. We are truly grateful for the care you showed and the positive energy you brought to our table. Thank you again for making our Anniversary Dinner date a memorable time. Hats off to Brandon. .

Golden Lotus non alcoholic cocktail
Andrea S.

I thoroughly enjoyed both the service and the meal I had at Founding Farmers MoCo. There was some construction happening outside, which made conversation a bit difficult at times, but that's no fault of the restaurant. I ordered the fish of the day with a lemon butter preparation--and wow, it was delicious. The sauce paired perfectly with the vegetables, and everything came together really well. The portion size was also very satisfying and left me completely full. I also tried a non-alcoholic drink called the Golden Lotus, which was just as enjoyable and refreshing. I was too full to try dessert, but they had so many tempting options that I'll definitely be back to check them out next time

OMG - YET AGAIN, something goes awry at this restaurant. This time it wasn't the meal or the service - both were good. But we bought some boxes of chocolate (not inexpensive; minimum is $12 a box) and what do you know? They're expired! FF makes their chocolate themselves and it should be really fresh. It's always delicious. But ours have been expired for almost a week and they're still selling it at full price. Based on my past experiences with my reviews of this restaurant, I do not expect anyone to reach out to me or do anything about this. Just unbelievable.

Taylor G.

Every time I'm in town, this is the first spot I hit up for breakfast. Never disappoints! This time my eyes were a little bigger than my stomach and I ended up taking my double order of a side of the brioche French toast to go lol. Affordable and great quality food!

Ham & Cheese Scramble
Eric K.

Had no idea there was a Founding Farmers in this area! Had a great experience at the location in King of Prussia PA, so I was happy to visit this location to reprise their Sunday Brunch. After setting up a reservation (1:30), we arrived to a packed restaurant & had about a 5 min wait until a table opened up. Once seated, we were greeted promptly with drinks put in. We started off with Beignets which were fan-freakin'tastic - light and fluffy with 3 dipping sauces to the side. For entrées we ordered the Southwest Scramble & Ham and Cheese Scramble (w/ mushrooms added). Food arrived in a reasonable amount to time - another home run as both entrées we great! Definitely a bustling vibe - a bit noisy but not overwhelming. Highly recommended!

Usually Marriott restaurant food is decent. This one was not. Sandwich had zero flavor, the spicy…read moreaioli was flavorless, much less spicy. Just a colorful mayo. The fries maybe had been fried at some point today, but were just bland and squishy. Bacon was actually good. Service started off ok, then after specifically asking for a dessert never came back to take a dessert order. After waiting 10 min I gave up and left. Bartender wasn't the friendliest to get the check. Only place to eat if you don't want to drive. Looks like a fun place to watch a game.

We stopped in to coopers mill for dessert on a weekday. Located within Marriott, it was easy to…read morefind and they had lots of seats open at the bar. I had wanted to check this place out since I recently moved walking distance to Coopers mill. I'm glad we walked because parking is regulated and for hotel guests only. There is limited street parking on pooks hill. The bartender was lovely and we immediately were given menus, when we told him we were there for dessert he recommended the fried cookie dough which was delicious. Comes with taharka vanilla ice cream which I loved since I used to live in Baltimore! The presentation of the fried dough balls was very pretty as well. The other bartender Zobe was a pleasure to speak to. He recommended good drinks and even whipped up a chocolate martini at my boyfriend's request. This place is a little pricey with a very casual atmosphere, but I enjoyed my visit and we will be back!
