Our award-winning Founding Farmers DC flagship restaurant opened in 2008 just three blocks west of the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue. Open 365 days a year, our team is passionate about crafting dishes and drinks from scratch with high-quality ingredients from farmers and suppliers we know and trust.

Join us for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, weekday happy hour, and a la carte weekend brunch.

Majority owned by American family farmers, including the more than 50,000 farmers of the North Dakota Farmers Union, our restaurant is guided by a very simple principal: we see and share everything Through The Eyes Of The Farmer.™ We actively care about our guests, our communities, the planet, and the next generation. This all comes together in our everyday neighborhood restaurant.

    Booked for Thanksgiving. It was busy! There was a wait of maybe 10 mins from check in but I went to the bar to grab a couple of bloody Mary’s (spicy as standard) There were a lot of people standing so this wasn’t fantastic but understandable for Thanksgiving Had a lovely server for the table 3 types of Bread appeared - delicious Main course was a choice of turkey, ham, salmon, white fish, beef, fried chicken All came with trimmings. As the turkey is also sent to the White House we thought we should try it. All great. Desserts - best apple pie i think I’ve ever had Pino noir was delicious Value was fantastic Wouldn’t hesitate to return
