- ATAshleighTLas Vegas •3 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoMy friends and I had a really nice time here. The music was amazing! The service by our waitress Ayanna was superb. The food was hit or miss unfortunately. The catfish nuggets were really good as well as the fried okra but I had the chicken fried chicken and it was really fatty. Several of my friends had the mac and cheese and no one finished and said that you start. It could have been a lot better. Only one of the six of us loved her meal and she had the pecan chicken and waffles which I tasted and it was delicious! The drinks were really good as well. In all, the vibe was great but the food could've been betterMore infoKitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley - DCPrice: Expensive• Southern• Downtown•4.2
- KKellyVIPWashington, D.C. Area •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOur server, Natalie did a great job of delivering really delicious food to us. She recommended the spatchcock chicken and it was fantastic, I might not have ordered that myself, but her encouragement of how good it was prompted me to do so, and she was spot on! The music may have been a little louder than I like last night Sometimes it’s difficult to hear my guest.More infoFounding Farmers & Distillers DC: ChinatownPrice: Moderate• American• Mount Vernon Square•4.3
- MMickWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoGreat time and good food as usual. Disappointing in that it was my 37th anniversary and I had mentioned it in my reservation. Nothing from the restaurant. Maybe I expected too much.More infoZaytinya - DCPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Penn Quarter•4.7
- LLauraVIPAtlanta Metro •9 reviews5.0Dined on 1 Jan 2025Our recent visit to Founding Farmers was exceptional, offering a delightful culinary journey that pleased the entire family. We began by sharing the Buttermilk Biscuits and a medley of autumn vegetables. The biscuits were impressively large, featuring a crunchy exterior that gave way to a soft, fluffy center—truly a perfect start to our meal. For the main courses: •Youngest Son: Opted for the Sirloin Chili, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The chili boasted a balanced spiciness, making it both flavorful and approachable. •Mom: Chose the Goat Cheese Ravioli & Chicken Cutlet, a dish accompanied by butternut squash purée and pecan praline butter. The combination was exquisite, earning a solid 9.7/10 for its harmonious flavors and presentation.  •Dad: Selected the Farmhouse Platter, which included fried chicken, BBQ pork ribs, baby cheeseburgers, street corn, and coleslaw. He cleared his plate, a testament to the meal’s excellence.  •Teenager: Enjoyed the Meatloaf & Gravy, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. He expressed high praise for the dish, noting its rich flavor and satisfying portion.  Even the house-made sodas were delightful, adding a refreshing touch to our dining experience. Our waiter, Anthony, provided outstanding service, enhancing our meal with his attentive and friendly demeanor. The food was so impressive that we decided to purchase the restaurant’s cookbook to recreate some of the dishes at home. Founding Farmers offers a warm atmosphere, exceptional service, and delectable farm-to-table cuisine. It’s a dining experience we highly recommend and look forward to repeating.More infoFounding Farmers DC: Foggy BottomPrice: Moderate• American• Foggy Bottom•4.5
- KKELLIWashington, D.C. Area •14 reviews5.0Dined on 1 Jan 2025Went for a family New Year’s brunch and everything was absolutely lovely. Decided to order a la carte instead of the brunch buffet and it was a good move… we could hardly eat wht we order let alone go for seconds. Any restaurant that can satisfy a Boomer. Gen X, Gen Z and Gen ALpha to the point of being stuffed to our eyelids on a holiday is a winner in my book.More infoLincoln - DCPrice: Moderate• American• McPherson Square•4.2
