Cornbread and salads were delicious. Grace was an excellent server! The table next to us got the carrot cake which looked amazing but we were too full by the end.

Be aware of the 5% wellness charge, listed on the menu but easy to miss.

We tipped on the pre tax, pre wellness amount plus a little extra for the exceptional service.

It was a busy Sunday evening, and this was the only restaurant with a bar that was open in the area. So we checked in and waited an hour to be seated.
The bar is centered on the first floor so extremely crowded and noisy. The staff were pleasant. We ordered food which came pretty quickly. The fare is simple. The chicken noodle soup was hearty. The entrees were decent and portions were good. The sides looked like an afterthought with fries that were mostly crumbs.
Considering the limited choice of eating establishments that day, it was not bad. But I would be hard pressed to go there on a day when other places are open to choose from.

In our opinion, one of the best restaurants in Washington DC that we have been to. The service is at a high level and the dishes are very tasty. We were here for breakfast and were not disappointed. We recommend ordering a table before arriving, the restaurant is very popular. We highly recommend it.

I'm so glad we came here for breakfast. They were quite busy and we didn't want to wait for a table so we sat at the bar.

Liz, our server, was great. Right away, she took our drink orders. She checked on us often and refilled my coffee cup.

We ordered the Brioche French toast with Bananas Foster and a waffle with blueberry compote. Both were very flavorful. They had other breakfast choices on the menu.

Would definitely come back.

Our first stop in Washington DC was Founding Farmers which we visited 4 years ago.

We have been missing their Skillet Corn Bread for four years. The smell was extremely appetizing when it was served.

Farmers Platter and Garlic Black Pepper Wings were also our favorites from past visits. We would like to recreate their signature wings soon.

Solid 5 stars across the board.
Server was great, small but varied beer selection. A friend said that the bloody Mary was delicious.
Big menu and it was hard to narrow down but we started with the bread and spread sampler that didn't have a bad combo to it.

For dinner we got the Prime Rib, French Dip, and Grilled cheese. They seemed to be able to make anything a side, or modify the dish anyway you wanted.
Nothing I would have changed and would love to go back.

Customer service was awesome! The popcorn was great. There was a ton of it! The pot roast was absolutely amazing! The gravy for the pot roast had layers of flavor. I liked the ravioli, but I do think that it just needs the butternut squash not the browned praline butter too. It made it a little too sweet. The mac & cheese and chicken tenders were good. We loved the atmosphere. If we’re ever in DC again, we will definitely be back.

The food here was so amazing. It wasn't cheap but it was so tasty it was definitely worth it. The flavors were great. It was packed and I didn't know I should have made a reservation ahead of time but it was cool because you don't need a reservation for the bar and the allowed my son to sit at the bar, which I thought was cool. The chocolate was very good also and the strawberries were very sweet. I got the fish if the day and it was trout and it did not disappoint. The chicken and waffles was perfect amount of crispy
