Founding Farmers MoCo Reviews

The food was good but they rush you out of there fast to turn tables. I left feeling like what just happened?

Great food and good guest services. My only complaint was the chicken with baby chick on the women's restroom door. Confusing and felt a little insulted by the image, as did the other lady in my brunch party.

The food and drinks are great here. We've always had good service. Both brunch and dinner have been great every time we've been.

The food is quite good. That said, be ready to wait in cramped quarters. In the words of Yogi Bera, nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded. I have been three times with a reservation and had to wait at least 15-20 minutes. Without a reservation, count on being told to expect an hour wait on a weekday morning. Weekends are more crowded. The waiting area is minimal and makes for a very crowded entrance. Alas.

The shrimp and grits was GREAT. Dessert was pleasing as well.

Wasn t fond of the food ... my steak was burnt!!! Def not the same as the dc branch!!

Very sad experience. Food was extremely overpriced for the portions, taste, and overall value. A side of sausage got me ONE sausage link; a side of toast got me ONE slice of bread; a side of bacon was three overcooked, extremely bland pieces bacon (....and how is that even possible since even average bacon is good). Breakfast for 3 people cost $90 with tip and no alcohol, just pancakes, waffles, eggs, and $4 cups of coffee. And don't forget the pandemic surcharge. This restaurant is neither fancy or special so not sure what they're going for there besides assuming people will be ok with disappointment and a lighter wallet. If you like overpriced, lousy food, this is your place. If not, go somewhere else.

Been coming here for years and the food and service is always excellent!

When I had a couple guests visited me from Asia, I planed to take them for dinner in a nice restaurant. I called this place, tried to make a reservation, also I asked if they have a tent outside for serving during Pandemic era like this. He didn't answer my question and he just said, no and hang up. That weekend I had to drive all the way to Tyson's Corner just to please my guess to taste the food of Founding Farmers. Thanks for "great" customer service!

Food is excellent. Something for everyone. Make reservations or go during an "off" time: this place is extremely busy/popular.

Great food in a nice area with a pleasant decor and seating for brunch. Just make sure you make reservations or get ready to wait.

Food is always delicious, and the place has a great atmosphere. Service was good, although they were slow to recognize wed been seated. For some reason that always gives me anxiety.

Fast seating, great customer service. Food was well prepared for consumption.

Never disappoints for weekend breakfast/brunch. We usually stop at opening before going hiking on the weekends. They have a good amount of outdoor dining. The surrounding are is nice with tons of seating, grass, outdoor games. The service is always great. The food is fresh and delicious. It does get very busy as the morning goes on. Reservations suggested.

Nice attentive wait staff, the food was good and affordable. The atmosphere of the restaurant was trendy yet low-key and folksy.

One of my favorite restaurants to go to. My all time go to spot for an impossible burger. The quality never fails. Food is delicious!

Overview: Food was good but very overpriced.

Ordered the 8pc Spicy chicken family meal and a peanut butter pie. The chicken and mashed potatoes were very good. Ended up with biscuits instead of skillet cornbread for some reason. For $11 I expected the peanut butter pie to be full size but it was tiny, only enough for one person.

Ahhh yes. The trendy place that s supposed to be farm to table, and that makes you feel good! Except... apparently they don t farm seasonings, or salt, or anything else with much flavor.

So here s the problem. I ordered a boneless ribeye with green vegetables and mashed potatoes. The ribeye was seasoned. On one end. Like, the last half inch had salt on it. The rest didn t. And if you re going to pride yourself on farm fresh veggies, why are the green beans limp and listless on the plate? The potatoes were good. So I guess there s that.

My wife s dinner was similarly disappointing - but that s not really the right word. It was okay. Just like mine. But just okay. And for the premium you re paying, okay just doesn t cut it.

Also, our waiter forgot to bring the buttermilk biscuits until we already had the food. These were oddly satisfying. Huge, filling, buttery, and salty.

Would I come back? Perhaps. But I might order something more simple like a burger and some biscuits. Perhaps that s the secret?

Nice area and decorations.. Food was fresh but it's overrated to me

I came here for a lunch celebration with coworkers. I thought the food was ok. The homemade lemonade was delicious. I ordered the garlic pepper wings, mac and cheese, and mash potatoes. I felt the mac and cheese was missing something. Overall food was ok. Service great.

Love the decor and the atmosphere inside this place! The food is amazing, fresh as you'd expect from Founding Farmers and very well seasoned. The staff is also very polite and considerate.
The restaurant gets a lot of guests, so you might have to wait a long while to be seated.

A must visit. The food is so delicious I can't even find words

The vanilla scratch soda, fish of the day, and black pepper garlic wings were amazing, however some of the pastas and breads were subpar.

I used to love FF, but now it seems to have outgrown the hype. The last several times I have been the service was sub par and the food was just, okay. For the price I would expect a better dining experience.

Get a reservation if you do not want to wait during busy hours. Most things are amazing. Try the cocktails.

I've never been disappointed in this place. The food is great. Service is excellent.

The Whisky Drink with the egg in it (forgot the name) sounded amazing on paper but tasted horrible. The whisky overpowered all flavors and it was not enjoyable. I left a 16 dollar drink half full. Even the other adult guests with me tried it and said the same. They lose one star for that BUT the food was amazing, fresh, and left me craving me more. Especially the cornbread. The waitress was really nice and even surprised my little sister with a birthday dessert. I live in NYC and definitely plan on coming back next time I'm in town. Will try a different drink this time.

I enjoyed myself the service was great & both of my & my daughter's meals were delicious...

This place is an all-around jewel, whether a romantic evening or a family gathering. They were able to comfortably seat our large company. The bar drinks were a great pit stop while waiting for everyone to arrive. THE FOOD WAS INDESCRIBABLY FRESH and TASTY! We can hardly wait to go again!

This place is consistently good. Fresh food and great selections. Only thing I'd say is the wait staff are incredibly busy so service can be a little slow.

A nice option for a Saturday breakfast. The breakfast options varied and all well prepared. Enjoyed the bourbon soaked french toast and the double thick pepper bacon is soooooo good.

Nice place to have lunch or dinner. Their vegetarian impossible burger is good. Most of the burgers and sandwiches can be vegetarian

I want to like this place better. There is nothing really wrong with it. The staff is nice, service is good, but the food isn't that exciting, and it doesn't taste the best either.

Food was really good but expect to spend a decent amount of money

A consistently good meal. Multiple times and have not had a miss yet.

We've eaten here several times and just aren't impressed. Service is horrible, food mediocre. Meh.

Went for Sunday brunch. Service was slow and the orders were wrong. I would go back though just to give them another chance. Food was okay

A friend recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Clean, modern interior. Great service. The food was outstanding. Large portions.

Excellent food and quick, friendly service. If you're vegetarian or vegan, the impossible burger was fantastic.

This place is amazing !!!

Food perfect ! Our family got the impossible burger, classic burger, chicken & waffles, and hot dog ! 10/10

To top it off, best service. It was my brothers birthday, and they went above and beyond!!

Food was great, service was slow and inexperienced...

Excellent food, great and prompt service, very friendly. Definitely coming back and shall be recommending to others.

Delicious! Very fresh, cool combinations.... Reminds me of First Watch in Cincinnati. The place was packed, service was slow.

Excellent breakfast, everyone in our party was happy with the food and service was fast and courteous. Well worth the visit!

Our server Melissa had an outstanding attitude towards my little brothers, ahe refilled our drinks without us having to wait a single second and the food was anazing, my family will for sure return.

Sorry forgot to take photographs, nice restaurant, will try again

The food was great. We had a great time talking and enjoying the food. The staff was very nice and attentive. Would definitely go again when we visit.

Great food, great service, not stuffy, not pretentious, high end farm to table food not overly priced in a modern but comfortable setting.

We bought a prepared Thanksgiving dinner from Founding Farmers - it was superb. Their operation and set-up is super efficient. Place your order, tell them what time slot you want to pick it up, show up, and in less than 15 minutes, you are on your way with your order, and cooking/reheating instructions. If you don't want to cook on Thanksgiving and don't want to go to a restaurant either, this is a great option.

I have never been disappointed with this place. Great food and drinks. Cocktails are fantastic. The deviled eggs are amazing. Last time I ordered the chicken and biscuits and they were great, this time I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup and surprisingly it was unique and had tons of flavor. Wife had the mac and cheese and it was great as well.

They have some pretty good food hear. Very good breakfast options. Came for dinner for the first time recently and had the impossible burger. Very good all plant burger! It actually tastes like legit beef, but made of straight veggies! They have quite a few good options for vegetarians.

Lovely Sunday brunch. Great spot to catch up with friends and enjoy nice meal. It's kinda on the pricey side though.

I go here every year for my birthday and I'm always satisfied!

Always great cocktails. Recommend the steak and enchiladas combo.

We came at just the right time as it got super busy just after we arrived. We ordered the brie farm bread app and the fried green tomatoes app. Both were fantastic. That farm bread is amazing. For dinner, we had steak, pot pie, farm dogs, and meat loaf. Our only complaint there ... the meat loaf. It has a lot of sage and fennel. If you don't like that, don't get it. My daughter didn't like it. All of the other dishes were great. We had the chocolate mouse bowl for dessert. It's made for two, we had it for four and still had to leave some behind. Great food, service, atmosphere. And the portions are huge! I would go again for sure!!

Food was good, came relatively quickly, and service was good

Food and service is amazing, especially Lisa and the manager. Amazing food me and my husband left staisfied and with the desire to come back. !!

Amazing food (chicken and waffles is the go to) but portion sizes can be on the larger end leading to ample leftovers so I recommend sharing an entree and an appetizer if dining out for date night for example.

The gnocchi is basically the only thing ive had here. I got it the first time i got it and i really enjoy it so i keep getting it. The sauce that the gnocchi is in is very rich and delicious. It does contain dairy so be aware. The sausage, fluffy gnocchi, and cream sauce just go so well together!

If you've been to founding Farmers this location loves up to the reputation. If you haven't been I highly recommend going

We went there for a Saturday brunch and it was just perfect. The host was very helpful in explaining the safety measures and we were seated right away. The food was incredible even if we just ordered regular brunch items. Their hot chocolate is to die for ! I ll definitely come back again !!

Comfort food perfectly executed. Always enjoyable food drinks and service.

This place is both hip & chic while also being rustic & local. This combination makes it a natural favorite that makes Rockville feel a little more like DC.

Shon is the best server I ve ever had!!!! Very patient and thoughtful. Great food, better service. Also, a far superior way of spelling his name.

Went here for an office lunch. The chicken and waffles were great!

This place is great. Love the atmosphere and the service was awesome. They work at as a team. Megan was our server and she was the best.
