Bartender was great, he was knowledgeable and patient and quick. The food was mid. We came for happy hour and had the chips and dips, the mini riblets, and the chicken dumplings. The chips were not chips yet you had to break the fried tortilla - which is an interesting and new way to aesthetically present the dish, but also reminds you every 4 chips is a whole tortilla the chicken dumplings were not good they were literally just ground chicken and no flavor or seasonings inside. The riblets were so so so good tho. And we ordered desserts: the chocolate sundae thing and the devils food cake and omfg they were incredible. Definitely save room for dessert it’s so worth it.

I like this location better than the DC. All the same options just more space so it feels less crowded.I ordered the vanilla doughnut which was too dense and not airy and nor creamy enough for me. My benchmark is Krispy Kreme.I also had the Founding Spirits Barrel-Aged Cocktail Chelsea's Manhattan during Happy Hour. It was $7.99 which it's normally $13.99. Really strong and good. One drink got me to where I needed to go!I also ordered the ahi tuna bites here from the Happy Hour which were $6.99 but usually $16.99. Really delicious but small portion like 5 little chips topped with a tuna sauce and avocado mixture. They spicy and tasted like some Asian draining on top, literally so so good. But good for literally just one person in my humble, selfish eating opinion. HA!highly recommend this restaurant chain. I like the local production concept behind it and the ambiance is great, a little bit more on the upscale side but I've dined in workout clothes.I will say the staff is super casual. They cuss at the bar and don't excude a professional server attitude so just be aware of that.

Founding Farmers is our all time favorite restaurant and this specific location takes the lead for best service! Our server, Chloe, was an absolute pleasure. She was extremely attentive, sweet, and really made our experience one that will keep us coming back! Thanks!

The mediocre service is only outdone by the absolutely terrible food. My dish was an inedible blob. Wish I had never come here.

We were in town to visit my daughter, who is stationed at Andrew's Air Force Base, and celebrate my youngest son's 18th birthday. This is our second time visiting, and as always, "it was amazing!" Our waitress/hostess was very unfriendly and didn't have many words at all. With it being an all natural menu, she didn't suggest much either. We had to ask her about everything, and she seemed uninterested in answering. Other than that, please continue being the best!

I really enjoyed this restaurant! They are able to accommodate large parties even during the dinner hours. I would definitely make a reservation because these places fill up! The fried chicken and waffles was so delicious. I was hesitant about getting it because of the maple syrup. However it was really really good. Make sure to save room for dessert. So many yummy choices. The green beans are so good we got an extra plate!

Excellent service and delicious food. The OSS a large variety of dishes to choose from. I had the jambalaya, which really not jambalayas it was piece of catfish on flavored/spiced rice. Still, it was very good. The food was very hot when it came to the table. Nice atmosphere.
