Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Sterling

We celebrated my husband’s milestone birthday last night at this familiar “neighborhood joint” for us. As always the food and service were great. Unfortunately I was suffering from a stomach upset so couldn’t eat any of the wonderful dishes on the menu. I inquired ahead of time and was assured that they can take care of my dietary restrictions. I informed our waiter who went back to confer with the kitchen a couple times and in the end, they served me a very yummy grilled chicken breast with different vegetable purées that allowed me to celebrate my husband’s milestone in a very nice fashion. The team was very attentive to our needs and I really appreciated it. We’ll be back soon.

Our recent visit to Founding Farmers was exceptional, offering a delightful culinary journey that pleased the entire family. We began by sharing the Buttermilk Biscuits and a medley of autumn vegetables. The biscuits were impressively large, featuring a crunchy exterior that gave way to a soft, fluffy center—truly a perfect start to our meal. For the main courses: •Youngest Son: Opted for the Sirloin Chili, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The chili boasted a balanced spiciness, making it both flavorful and approachable. •Mom: Chose the Goat Cheese Ravioli & Chicken Cutlet, a dish accompanied by butternut squash purée and pecan praline butter. The combination was exquisite, earning a solid 9.7/10 for its harmonious flavors and presentation.  •Dad: Selected the Farmhouse Platter, which included fried chicken, BBQ pork ribs, baby cheeseburgers, street corn, and coleslaw. He cleared his plate, a testament to the meal’s excellence.  •Teenager: Enjoyed the Meatloaf & Gravy, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. He expressed high praise for the dish, noting its rich flavor and satisfying portion.  Even the house-made sodas were delightful, adding a refreshing touch to our dining experience. Our waiter, Anthony, provided outstanding service, enhancing our meal with his attentive and friendly demeanor. The food was so impressive that we decided to purchase the restaurant’s cookbook to recreate some of the dishes at home. Founding Farmers offers a warm atmosphere, exceptional service, and delectable farm-to-table cuisine. It’s a dining experience we highly recommend and look forward to repeating.

Enjoyed our brunch experience here. The food options are plentiful and taste very good. Lots of options for different preferences. Make a reservation. The drinks are pretty expensive - I wish they had a bottomless or multiple option.

I absolutely love the door staff at AIR they are all so nice and accommodating. Thank you, Deidre’ Cole
