   Interesting menu; excellent food; very busy place. Despite the number of people waiting, we were called to a table within minutes of our reservation time.

   Love this restaurant! The food and drinks are consistently very good; the service is always friendly, professional and excellent; and the staff is always willing to work with customers with their reservations! My family‘s 4th consecutive year gathering there for Xmas Eve and we’ll be back next year! Founding’s Farmers never disappoints!

   Maybe an off night, but very OFF. Food arrived not according to the order, chicken pot pie was served less than lukewarm warm and was a gloppy mess, even the milkshake was off- almost watery and not sweet. A shame because we brought friends visiting from abroad. Sadly, won’t be rturning.

   It was a very cold night, but the inside of the restaurant felt warm. The staff was courteous and the food was delicious. We had a wait for our table, but we were early for our reservation, and we opted to dine at the bar.

   Sat quickly on a very busy day right at our reservation time. Service, food, and atmosphere were outstanding - all for a very good value. Definitely one of new go-to restaurants.

   They don’t actually take reservations. When we arrived for ours, we were placed on a list of people waiting for tables, including walk ins. More than 50 people were crammed into the entry area waiting. 40 minutes after we arrived, we were seated. Our server took our orders right away and then that was the last time we saw him. No additional drinks, no ketchup; no checking in, no dessert. We finally went to the bar to request our check.

   The restaurant was very crowded so the bar and the kitchen were backed up. The food tasted okay but it was only tepid by the time it got to the table, Our server was lovely.

    Great luncheon today. Lots of menu choices for winter warmers. I had the beef stew. Tender and tasted great, with a small salad and some bread. Just the right size portions, not to big and not to small. My wife had the chicken stew, and equally as satisfying. Our server was very attentive. We've been here before-sometimes good, sometimes not so much- and this is the best experience we've ever had.
