Took my family here for lunch, and they absolutely loved their food. Our waitress was awesome, and it didn’t take long to get our food either. Founding Farmers is consistent and worth every penny.

First time going to K+K and it was amazing. I went with my fiancee and we most certainly enjoyed ourselves. The lamb chops were amazing and so was the fried okra. I wish the mac and cheese was baked but it was still great. Definitely would go again! -Delano

As always, our experience at Ted’s bulletin was superlative. First and most important, the food is outstanding. And the desserts are even better, especially the carrot cake and the chocolate cake. Loved my snowball for nostalgic reasons. Be sure to get a milkshake. And the cornbread sticks. And the brussels sprouts. We ate at Ted’s four times in the four days we visited DC. The manager was so gracious in giving us a table on our fourth day as we were short on time before leaving for the airport. The staff were already beginning to recognize us. Can’t wait to visit DC again so we can eat at Ted’s at least once every day of our trip. And take home more desserts.
