    We usually spend Thanksgiving at Founding Farmers and have not had a bad time. This time was just horrible I don’t think we will be back next year. We waited 15 minutes beyond our reservation, waited almost 15 min to get served which was our server almost throwing the plate of biscuits down before running off. We had no drinks. She finally came back and took our orders. We still had no drinks— just water— when the appetizer arrived and she put down salad instead of soup for someone in our party. When we flagged her for water she said “I haven’t left the floor yet”— understand it’s busy but we had almost been there 25 minutes and no drinks! Finally a manager brought us water. Our food took a long time to arrive, we were barely checked on, and while all this was happening multiple people were seated after us and were getting their things immediately.

    Our family always enjoys our meals. Nice variety and dishes that I can't make as well at home. Cocktails and beer hit the mark The andouille shrimp and grits, seared scallops over butternut risotto, pot roast. and chicken and waffles were all divine. Not a morsel of food was left on our plates. The appetizers of brie jammy onion bread, green tomatoes and biscuits kicked off our meal. This is a reliable casually elegant dinner spot

    Service was great and food was good but onion rings came out cold. When you order a burger, the fries/onion rings should come really hot. In my opinion, when I order a burger, the fries/onion rings are just as important as the burger.

    Thank you for your feedback, Derek! We're glad you enjoyed the service and food overall but apologize that the onion rings didn’t meet expectations. We’ll share your comments with our team to ensure a better experience next time. We hope to serve you again soon! -Najjah

    Our server Aaron (spelling? ) was wonderful- attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and cared about each of my elderly father's needs which is not often found in restaurants these days. Food was very yummy, covered a wide variety of diets and preferences, and was warm/quickly served. Only slowdown was at dessert course, but it was at the end of the night right before closing time. We would go back again and again as well as recommend for anyone looking for good food at good price in a lovely atmosphere.

    Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Megan! We're delighted Aaron made your visit special and that you enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We appreciate your understanding about the dessert timing and can’t wait to welcome you and your family back again! -Najjah

    The food and drinks were really awful. I’ve eaten at this chain before and I am really disappointed. I’ve never ordered a margarita and left it almost completely untouched. The risotto was so cheesy it was inedible. The highlight of the meal was the biscuits.

    Party of 8 + baby and they sat us in the booth that was circular. It felt like our conversations were just for us. The room was full of customers but the sound stayed moderate. It was quite magical. Had a beautiful brunch, it was delicious and the price point was amazing. We all felt grateful to be together and dining at such a special place. Thank FF and staff
