I love Founders beer just as much as the next person. However, the way their brewery/dining experience is set up is mind boggling. I ve never seen anything like it before. With an establishment this large, you NEED to have hosts to seat guests. You NEED more servers to take orders.

Arriving at Founders is nothing less than awkward. You have to walk around the place like an idiot looking for people getting their bills and then crowd them until they leave. Then you can t sit down while the server cleans the table and you have to tell 4 other parties the table is taken.

If you are hungry and come on a busy night you might as well look somewhere else unless you can wait an hour or more for your food. You have to go up to the bar to order your food, you have to go up to the bar to get your tab, if you want drinks/waters the server comes around maybe every 15-20 minutes.

Founders does one thing very well and that s making great beers, which I ve now learned is best enjoyed anywhere but their brewery.
