The restaurant is very, very loud once it gets full. But the food is always good and staff is always friendly.
It isn’t amazing food, but it is consistent, worth the price, and you get a good size portion so you’re not hungry.
We had the fried green tomatoes which were cooked perfect and that’s hard to do. My friend had the scallops and risotto. There was supposed to be crispy Brussels sprouts with it, but they only put one in. It was an accident, but not an acceptable one. They’re literally one of the three things in the dish.
I had the pastrami sandwich. It was buttery and fresh. My fries were not good, but the sandwich made up for it.
Went for brunch and OH MAN! I wish I could eat here every day. The dishes were all so delicious and perfectly cooked. The Benedict’s are not to be missed, the scrambled eggs melt in your mouth, the French toast with banana foster topping made me want to go back for thirds, and the rest all kept me eating much more than I should have. The brunch is more on the 4.8 stars rating, you have to try it!
I loved the atmosphere, the line was quite long as it was weekend so I sat on the bar. The service was slow especially as I couldn’t get my coffee and I had to ask bartender to do so. The quality of wood was good but a little greasy in some dishes. The variety was great especially in cakes and desserts.
We had breakfast at the other location so we decided to try dinner for our last night here in DC.
Barrett was our server and she gave great suggestions and never let our water go empty. The food was great and the drinks were great as well. You can take some drinks to go or even take a bottle.
Wow, this restaurant was fabulous! We started with the bread board. The cornbread with the honey butter were to die for! The cocktails and fish and chips were also delicious. And then, I saved room for dessert. Sooo delicious. I ordered the summer peach sundae and the Blueberry Jefferson filled donut for breakfast. Amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant for the variety alone! Something for everyone...

Breakfast was good but you might want to make a reservation since it seems they're busy on weekends. We chose to skip the buffet and just order a la carte. We were seated in a very back corner in like an addition area which was really warm due to a lack of air flow. We got the veggie scramble, hash browns, and a blueberry muffin all of which were really good. The muffin was pretty large and enough on its own. Our server was really nice and attentive and brought me extra ice when I asked for it. The buffet area is small... It's really one long table that you can grab from and a lot of people walk past it since the area is pretty crowded. I don't think it's worth getting unless you really like breakfast a lot.
We came back here for dinner since the place was close by. We got chicken and waffles which were really good and a decent size. The drunken noodles were pasta noodles that they covered with way too much soy sauce, it was pure salt. Don't get that!
I asked the server if one of the dishes has diary to which he could not answer. They need to be better trained since the correct response should be "I'm not sure, but I'll go check with the kitchen real quick". Breakfast was decent, dinner was more disappointing. Would consider coming back here as a casual place. Definitely seems like it's a hit or miss sometimes and with some dishes.
Overall, good for the price. I was a tad disappointed in the freshness of the food. Although its buffet style, the food presentation just seemed not appeasing. Much of it is really good while the other half is hit or miss.
Although the presentation may not be appeasing.
Get the fried chicken, dip, pancakes, waffles, fried rice, bacon, fish and some of the desserts.
I would have probably preferred to order something off the regular menu. But for the price you can’t beat a buffet at Founding Farmers.
You. Have. To. Come. Here.
If you love deep fried food, there's no option for you to not experience this place. Yes, get the fried chicken! Yes, get the onion rings! And the beignets... you cannot leave without experiencing that too. It's other worldly! And that red drink, Farmer's Daughter... get two! Fruity and amazing! Come here hungry and leave more satisfied than should be allowable!
I shared a great brunch here with friends. The service was outstanding. Highly recommend the biegnets as a treat to share after a savory breakfast.
A reservation for a weekend brunch is strongly recommended! Otherwise be prepared for a long wait.
Add this to our places of must eats in DC! Our server Ashlyn was phenomenal and we will def ask for her next time. The food is fresh and very well made- you honestly can’t go wrong with anything you choose here. We had the signature margarita and the sunstone Colin’s- both excellent drinks. The cornbread as an app was perfect and just enough before the mains. My partner had the pot roast which he loved, and I did the fried chicken and donut (yes a donut but it paired well!). Everything was perfect and tasted very fresh. No room for dessert. We loved this place and you Will too.
Loved this restaurant so much - had to google their other locations. We went to DC for a weekend, and breakfast here was one of the highlights! Only thing I was upset about: we were not too hungry for brunch buffet, which looked absolutely delicious. But a great reason to come back!! Bought their original bourbon that waits for a special occasion. Would love to come back or check out other locations!
Had breakfast here on a busy Fourth of July. We chose to not get the all you can eat brunch and had the normal breakfast menu.
The roasted vegetable egg white scramble with a farm salad was absolutely excellent. As someone who eats egg whites with vegetables almost daily, this was more tasty than anything I’ve ever cooked. The salad was also very good and it was nice to get a full pot of tea leaves vs just a bag of tea that seems common at restaurants.
The food took quite some time to come out (~35 mins), but it was worth it. Not very crowded at 9:15a, packed at 10:15a.
Despite of our reservation for the big party we waited almost 10 mins to get seated. The service was friendly but slow. We ordered variety of food and all was good. The cheeseburger was so juicy and scrumptious.
Everything was AMAZING! We tried to go on a Saturday evening and there were people waiting everywhere and I understand why. We gave it another shot a few days later and was able to snag a table for 2. We ordered the fried green tomatoes, kettle corn (hot, fresh and to die for) and crab cake sandwiches and were blown away. I will definitely be back on my next visit to DC.
The atmosphere and service is great! The ingredients are clearly fresh! The food was good. The pork chop was a little salty but the flavor was delicious! Other than that the pork chop is a good choice. We did not realize they close at 1000 and arrived at 0915 and the staff was very accommodating. There are so many dessert options but, I would say for dessert steer from the cookies as they weren’t too great.
Delicious brunch. Good place to bring kids. Lots of sweet things in the brunch. Not a lot of vegetarian protein options.
We had our anniversary dinner here this past Friday night, and we couldn’t have been happier! Nijean was our server, and she was absolutely amazing. We never went without drinks, and she was super attentive. The food came out timely, and perfectly spaced out in between courses. Wish we had room for dessert because they make everything from scratch, including their own chocolates! 20 out of 20 would recommend!
