Went here for the first time with friends for lunch. I had the special, which was 1/2 a chicken with potatoes and Brussel sprouts. It was very good and the portion size was huge. My friends had the other special, which was honey glazed salmon, grits, and asparagus. They both liked their food. Our waitress was nice, but once it got a little crowded, she wasn't as attentive. I will definitely eat here again.

Our 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.

I've been here for a Bachelorette Party and Brunch. I highly recommend this place for any celebration. Its a little pricey but worth it.

Our 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.
