Founding Farmers DC Washington Reviews
lovely waiter everytime, i've been with family for brunch
lovely waiter everytime, i've been with family for brunch twice. both times we've absolument stuffed ourselves in the bottomless buffet. i don't usually like sweetness in my breakfast let alone french toast but the french toast squares
The food was good, but not worth the 2 hour wait we had.
Our reservation was at 6:30 PM and we were seated just after 8:30 PM. The crowd and delay took the enjoyment out of the evening. According to staff there is a common practice of overbooking for holiday events. Once seated we felt like we were eating
Extremely Disappointing Thanksgiving Experience
We made 7:00 PM reservations for Thanksgiving dinner at Founding Farmers (Foggy Bottom), but it was immediately obvious the restaurant was overbooked or completely unprepared for the volume of reservations they accepted. When we arrived, we were told
This place prides itself on home-cooked meals.
These meals are not prepared daily. Most of them are reheated and it shows. I went there for lunch not for breakfast. I'm sure the breakfast is prepared fresh but when you go there for lunch, just be advised these specials are just simply reheat

I went to the Thanksgiving lunch and it was a total disappointment. They promised a bunch of sides but offered so little of each it was like a tasting menu. The service was ok but I felt rushed like I was going through a car wash. It felt like they h
Horrible! Made Thanksgiving reservations months in advance.
They overbooked. Waiting out in cold for their is management. Will never return and will tell my friends the same! Messed up our Thanksgiving!

If only I could leave 0 stars! Picture this, you make a reservation on Thanksgiving for what is advertised as an "intimate 2-hour dinner." Instead, you sit for 2 hours, waiting for your reservation, only for the restaurant to be out of half
Great Thanksgiving Meal
I like this place all the time, but especially at Thanksgiving. Incredible biscuits and cornbread year round. At Tgiving, heaping plates of traditional sides plus your choice of fish, ribeye, southern fried chicken, or ham. Lots of pie choices too. F
Thanksgiving Dinner
Byron was great! Made the experience very enjoyable! Food was delish and everything came out very quickly once we were seated
They know how to TAKE the reservation.
Well, I would like to provide a review of our experience. We made a reservation a month ahead of time for dinner on Thanksgiving price fix meal. We showed up at 6:30, our appointed time. “We are running about 30 minutes late.” Fortunately our
Overrated!not worth the wait!
We had a 1 pm reservation and were seated at 1:30. The soup tasted more like a dessert it was soooo sweet!(butternut squash). The turkey was dry and the stuffing tasted like it was made out of a box; you could taste the stale bread! The only good th
This was insult to injury.
After horribly long and exhausting day we found ourselves in the Foggy Bottom,hungry at 8pm. Atmosphere was nice,interior is modern,stylish and except of restroom area spotless clean. Our server was attentive and pleasant. Food was horrendous. Chips
Founding farmers was lovely.
A solo dining experience while visiting Washington DC on business and right down the street from my hotel. The food was fresh however the salmon slightly overcooked and dry, but the rest of the meal wonderful. I even had a cocktail. The restaurant w
Great service
Founding Farmers is a great place for a group lunch. We sat inside in the back. Our server Byron was fast, courteous and very knowledgeable!
Poor
Dinner, food poor (chicken pot pie without much chicken, and meatloaf), service below average. Cold restaurant even greeter was wearing a coat!
I had an excellent experience with my son there years and
I had an excellent experience with my son there years and years ago. They make normal drinks like lemonade look very festive! If I remember correctly we went to Sprinkles later and that was my favorite place in Georgetown.
Amazing
Byron catered to us and he was exceptionally professional and warm. Surely gonna visit again. I also recommend for family and work mates and friends to enjoy the good food at any founding farmers location within the DMV.
Abby provides Ritz Carlton level, white glove service!
Abby was my server and she was excellent! I’ve had a terrible morning with service and quality and she was the perfect person. If every server was like Abby, places would have happier customers spending money more frequently
Wonderful
Food was delicious and big portions, worth the money and our server Sarah was wonderful. Not a long wait at all for a table or for drinks and food to be delivered, and the atmosphere is down home, warm and friendly. Can absolutely taste that the food

Second time back at this location and it did NOT DISAPPOINT! Happy Hour is in the bar area week nights from 3:30 - 5:30. We arrived exactly at 5:30 and couldn't partake, but the specials look legit! Our server, she was absolutely wonderful. I ju
Yes, Yes and Yes!
This lovely establishment was just a block from my hotel and I wanted a quick, healthy bite to eat and Founding Farmers did not disappoint. I orders a plain grilled fish of the day and roasted vegetables. All were prepared perfectly and I only wish I
It was marathon weekend and the restaurant was packed.
Food was great, our waiter Erick was awesome. Able to accommodate food allergies seamlessly despite the busy-ness of the day. We sat outside, and even though it was quite crisp they had plenty of heat lamps which made it comfortable.

Wonderful farm to table brunch!
Went for brunch for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The chicken and waffles were delightful- flavorful chicken and light and crispy waffles. Chef Joe's Original with salad and a biscuit were chef's kiss! Chai soda was delight
Great food, great service!
Great experience, great food, great service! Our server Erick was attentive, polite, made great suggestions and is a great conversationist!
First time experience
Eric was a great server. The food was fantastic and great atmosphere. First time here and would come back. Highly recommend.
Scrumptious farm to table meals
the food is incredible! From the cornbread to soup to chicken pot pie, everyone should make a reservation and eat here! The food was also served very quickly too.
We ate here for breakfast while on vacation last week.
The atmosphere was fun. We enjoyed the outdoor seating. The food was delicious and satisfying. Uncle Buck's Beignets hit the spot. I think we all pretty much ordered bacon, eggs and toast. The only complaint was trying to find a salt shaker that
Erick was our sever today and he was great! Very friendly.

I don't have the energy to explain how horrible this experience was. I am not sure if it was the location, time of day, staff, etc but this was too overhyped, pricey, and not welcoming.

The restaurant was quite busy when I walked in but I was able to grab a seat at the bar which was fine with me. Once the waitress took my order my food came out really quick. The faro salad was delicious and the turkey BLT was stacked with meat. T
It was the best food we had in DC.
Kyra was THE BEST. She was hysterical and a great server!

We walked right in and were given a table right at lunch time, just as promised. Alex our server was fantastic, so helpful answering all our questions and filling my water bottle for me. The food was a delicious experience! The waffles were so light
Amazing Service From Sanovia/Snow
Ms. Sanovia/Snow is an EXCELLENT Server!!! She was courteous, attentive and extremely knowledge about the menu and recommend pairings. I was utterly amazed at her use of adjectives to discribe the food and how its prepared. She has a memory like no o
Great, Fresh Food
The food was excellent and our waitress, Sanoua (Snow), was wonderful. Our wait time was short because we had made an Open Table reservation.
Doesn't live up to the hype
This group of restaurants is extremely popular in the states but I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. It was a perfectly acceptable meal but nothing exceptional. We had luckily booked a table as the place was packed and there were long que
Terrific restaurant
As a first-time visitor (from Scotland) to DC I looked about for a decent restaurant and decided to give Founding Farmers in Pennsylvania Avenue a try. I loved it from the first visit, with its friendly and vibrant atmosphere, and the great food. The
Great food!
Great food & great service. Jose was terrific! We loved the dessert and fried chicken and waffles. It’s a good atmosphere too.
Delicious Dinner
Jose was an exceptional waiter—his service was attentive and friendly, and his recommendations were absolutely wonderful, enhancing our entire dining experience. Thank you!
Not a bad place to eat! The ambiance and decor are cool.
Loved the atmosphere and the service was welcoming to us being from out of town. The food was good! I wouldn't say blew my mind but would warrant a repeat visit. The goat cheese burger was yummy, just a little dry. The crab cakes were delicious
Great experience!
Food was great and Meara was our server. Helpful and friendly! Food came out fast and hot. Drinks filled quickly, outside area was nice to sit at

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Founding Farmers DC Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Founding Farmers DC Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousFish68, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FamousFish68 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousFish68 for any questions Peter may have as FamousFish68 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousFish68 now uses their connections at Founding Farmers DC Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousFish68 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousFish68 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousFish68's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Founding Farmers DC Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
