Great service and even better food. I rushed into this location with only 7 minutes left to order from their breakfast/brunch menu (I really wanted bacon and eggs -- don't judge me, this is a safe space ). The hostess was kind and immediately calmed my concerns, assuring me I had more than enough time. I wanted to -- and like to think I could have -- eaten everything on the menu in one sitting, but I went with what I came for, and the food was excellent: well-portioned and exactly as desired. My waitress, Amber, was extremely hospitable and helpful, making sure all my questions were answered before I placed my order. Oh, and did I mention I forgot my wallet? "No problem -- they take Apple Pay." What a place. read more

The server was awesome, food was amazing, and ambience was perfect! We had apps, dinner, and dessert - and it was all we hoped for.

The food was awesome I was there for mother's day and the service was awesome!!! I ordered a drink RILEY THE BARTENDER IS GREAT!!! read more

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 read more

(4.25) ~ Very good Overall Brunch, food & Service = Ryann did an excellent job! DRINKS: ** Mocha = (4.5) Very Good! Although smaller than it used to be & had less whipped cream... ** Orange Juice (OJ) = (4.25) Very tasty ** Water (tap) = (4.15) Very good, must be filtered;) They leave a bottle for the table for refills. FOOD: ** Goat Cheese & Beet Hash (sourdough toast) = (4.25) Very tasty, when you add butter & Cholula hot sauce) ** Steak (add-on) = (4.25) Very tender read more

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. read more

Finally made it into a Founding Farmers restaurant. This location was fairly easy to get to in County. Good parking and shopping options available around the restaurant. Restaurant is very nice. Hostess greet you upon walking in. Very nice bar and dining area. There is also a dining area, enclosed, outside. It has heaters but the area I sat in leaked above my head while it was raining and there were flying wasp around the table. Servers were great. Food was slow coming out and dishes were routed to the wrong table a fee times. The food was pretty good. I had spinach dip and Farmers platter. The dip was fine, but needed some salt. The platter was very filling. Briskett, ribs, and fried chicken on the same plate with sides made a nice meal. I would definitely want to try different items next time. OVERALL..good experience with slow service. I would definitely visit again. read more

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. read more

Ruben was really nice! The highlight was definitely the brûléed grapefruit! They gave us a serrated spoon to use and I feel like everything was well thought out. Read about the history of the restaurant online and our waiter also answered our questions about the numbers on their silverware. Such a huge place to bring your friends and family, but still intimate. There's outdoor seating under a patio (that can be heated) and indoor seating. Food was great! Chicken sausage was amazing and their pancakes actually taste like there's more than just flour and eggs. Can't wait to come back for lunch and dinner. read more

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! read more

Stopped in for a late brunch while in the area shopping - they were on a short wait but I found a seat at the bar. The service was excellent - there were several bartenders working so they were able to attend to guests at the bar and making drinks that came in from tickets. The food was pretty good - my waffle came out cold, but was easily remedied, and I ordered the beef pastrami hash but I think there was a misunderstanding and I received beet and goat cheese hash - which was still good - and in their defense, I did not speak up because I was starving (not their fault - the food came out quick!). It was a good meal and I would definitely return to try some more things on the menu! read more

I went to Founding Farmers in DC many, many years ago and loved it! I'm a sucker for Southern or Southern-inspired cuisine of any sort. (who knows why, I grew up in Florida but in a part of the state with virtually zero legit Southern cuisine) I'm so glad they now have a Potomac location! I'm often stuck in a training compound/hotel in Potomac and food & drink options are pretty anemic in the surrounding area. The outside aesthetics are pretty rough... This location is in a generic, metal & glass stripmall. The interior though, is completely different cozy with lots of warm wood. The service was the real highlight! The server gave us great advice about the menu. As someone suffering from toxic independence, that's not usually something I'm into buuuuut...he really had some good insights. Decent beer selection and some fun-looking cocktails as well! I got a chicken sandwich and it was good, but I wish is was about 4X spicier and more like a Nashville hot sandwich. (to be fair though, the server did warn me it wasn't that spicy) read more

To start, I used to hate Founding Farmer's. It was a one-sided beef that stemmed from feeling gaslit by everyone raving about a restaurant that I found to be mid at best. I tried today after many years (if the Washington Post can change their mind, so can I!) Some dishes were excellent but most were just good. A friend and I shared the following: biscuits, beignets, crab Benedict, and chicken and waffles, with sides of bacon and hash browns. The biscuits and beignets were both delicious, but all of the entrees were merely fine. The fried chicken was especially disappointing (not very flavorful and barely fried) . The bacon was also not as crispy or tasty as I expected. I did love my decaf latte and the gorgeous ceramics. The service was excellent. Not the redemption arc I hoped for read more

GABI I. IS THE BEST! She was our server! My friend had a dozen questions and she answered all of them with grace and patience! We had chicken and waffles (remember the breakfast size is only one piece of chicken). No pictures (yeah yeah I know I am back at THAT again!). It was delicious and seasoned perfectly!! I had the spinach and egg scramble with brûléed grapefruit, brioche French toast with strawberries n cream. DELICIOUS!! Ask for GABI I. When you dine!!

MoCo's Founding Farmers - New American Near Me - Potomac, Maryland

Founding farmers is a nice place to take a friend or a colleague, but it has quite a few drawbacks. The price is quite high, perhaps those prices have gone up. It feels like, but they are really high in such that I don't want an appetizer, I don't wanna get a drink, and I don't wanna get dessert, because it's way too expensive. Especially on top of a $29 salad or something. The other thing that was weird, was that the salads are minimal, you have a Caesar salad, or the corn corn dinner salad, those are the only ones with lettuce, or some kind of leafy green. The rest of it, artichoke hearts, things you don't normally see in what you think of as a salad. They still bring the little terminal to your table, where it's awkward you have to push the tip button. I wish they would just leave it on the table and just let me do it. Tip Pressure is not fun. The only salad I could find that had actual lettuce, was the Caesar salad, which I got with chicken. It was a great salad. Quite good. But this is a very rare place that I would go to, for all the reasons mentioned. read more

Clearly a popular place, it was packed at 11a on this particular Saturday. Coming in with a group of 18, I was excited about being able to make the reservation online only 2 weeks prior. Upon arrival, they were ready for us! 2 tables of 9 right next to each other. As everyone was trickling in, the service staff were very efficient and they got those orders in quickly. The Kitchen team was Clearly just as efficient as we got our orders timely and accurately. I ordered a traditional breakfast setup with scrambled eggs add cheese, bacon crispy, potatoes and english muffin. The bacon wasn't as crispy as I would have liked and the english muffin was a bit overcooked but overall the food was enjoyable. Most in our party were very happy with their meals. As a Cocktail, I tried the Breakfast Blvd and it definitely packs a punch! read more

Although I ordered for pickup I really did appreciate the quick service and the hospitality from the hostess. I created my own substitution for the "poached egg hash w/ beef pastrami" order and put cheesy eggs instead of poached eggs with a buttermilk biscuit, and comes with creole mustard hollandaise on the side. Somewhat greasy but I feel like I earned it after running a couple miles! Absolutely delicious and well deserved. read more

My friend made reservations this place for me. She knows I gonna love this place and yes!! I loved this place. We ordered a lot of food but most we enjoyed cornbread and shrimp and crab meat rissoto. Our food came out so late and was cold, reason why the kitchen forgot our food So manager gave us discount. They are accommodating but I hope little fast serve our food before getting cold. We seated 2nd floor also it was loud. Next time I wanted seat terrace if nice weather. Definitely will go back this place again when I'm traveling to MD area again. Can't wait. read more

Cozy setting. Had the fried chicken with biscuit. The chicken was moist although the breading was a little bland. Loved the collard greens and sweet potato though. Very good and very big biscuit.Great cocktails (which is why my brother wanted to go there). My other brother loved the Yankee pot roast. And the Espresso martini. The gingerbread sundae was very good. The service was slow (I suppose things weren't as rushed in the time of our founding fathers). read more

This is my most visited restaurant in the DMV. I noticed they updated their menu and sometimes that scares me as a vegetarian cuz there might not be options for me, but luckily I found their Falafel Burger. I also had some of their Brie Apple Bread appetizer, which is always good. The falafel burger seemed like a new dish taking the place of the veggie burger they used to have (which was one of my favorite dishes every time I would go). I enjoyed it! Most places I go, their falafel is on the dry side, but this one wasn't so dry. I think it could have used more sauce or something similar to hummus/tahini, but otherwise it tasted great! Our server Mario did a wonderful job at providing great service and I will, of course, be back! read more

Parking was a little tricky...because of so many people. But the food....off the chain! It was our first time. We ordered Farmers Daughter and Pain Killer for drinks. They were totally delicious but the winner for us was Pain Killer! Appetizers we order corn bread, fried green tomatoes and tomato soup. Just the drinks and appetizers were all we needed to set sail to ever lasting happiness but we also ordered chicken enchiladas and crab cakes to take home, although we had to at least take a few bites. Service was with Jennifer, who was a total delight. Long story short, really no need to go ANYWHERE ELSE! Its all here and unbelievably delicious! read more

I visited this place to do some computer work this morning. It's a really nice location and has a cool vibe. I ordered the plain pancakes and sausage with coffee. Ben was the bartender who offered great service, kept my coffee full and followed up often. I don't use syrup so I'm hard on pancakes as they must taste good with a little butter They came piping hot, were light and fluffy. And had a really good taste. The sausage was link sausage and had a mild taste and flavor. I'm not really a fan of links but they were certainly acceptable. The coffee was bold and tasty. It was a great first visit! They have a really nice shady outdoor space. Thanks ...I'll be back read more

Third time is a charm...my friend and I had been trying to have brunch at Founding Farmers twice before this, and could not get in, but this time I made a reservation. So, success, now I know to make a reservation for brunch. : ) Jacob was our server and he was Awesome! He made the difference between this review being a 4 or 5 star review. He made sure that we had everything we needed. And, when one item was bad, he replaced it with ease. He also didn't rush us, he gave us plenty of time to eat and catch up. So, kudos to Jacob for excellent service. I ordered 2 sunny side eggs, bacon, pancakes, and a brûléed grapefruit. The eggs were perfectly cooked and were well seasoned with salt and pepper. The bacon was good. I usually like my bacon a little more well done, but it was fine. The pancakes were exceptional. They were light, fluffy, and were full of delicious flavor. The brûléed grapefruit was the issue. It was hard as a rock, even the knife would cut the segments. But, Jacob came to the rescue and replaced it with a tasty biscuit. The biscuit was delicious and came with butter and jam. I had black tea to drink and I loved the beautiful china cup it was served in. It is very loud and crowded, so be aware. Our food was good, our service was fabulous, and the ambiance is nice. I would definitely come back. read more

1st time at MoCo's farmers absolutely positively terrific, fantastic food, atmosphere, etc.

We went to Founding Farmers for a family brunch last weekend. It was perfect! We had a large round booth upstairs for the seven of us - well, six and a high-chair. The omelettes were delicious, the fried chicken was crunchy and perfectly cooked, my grandson's chocolate chip pancakes were yummy, he said. Even the fresh fruit was ripe, sweet and a perfect addition to our brunch. Our waiter was attentive and very helpful and it was the perfect place to eat, laugh and spend our time together. read more
