    Yesterday I dined at Huncho House and it was an AMAZING experience. You are greeted with a glass of champagne. The hostess were all very warm and polite. The food and drinks were anazing as well. I will definitely be back and will share my experience with others. Our waiter was Josiah and that young man was on his job! He gave us meal suggestions and was extremely attentive to us.

    My in-laws were visiting from overseas. We didn't want to do a lot of cooking for a small group, but also wanted to ensure they got to try an authentic Thanksgiving meal. Founding Farmers was a great choice! The food was delicious and our server, Jacob, was superb. Thank you!

    My 1st intro was the hostess. I was running a bit late. I called to make sure it wouldn't be a problem. Hostess was most gracious. Upon arrival hostess offered me a table & asked if it was ok. I requested another table. The cleaned the table immediately & Sat me. Our waiter's name was Gee, however there was another server that assisted, Leonel pronounced Lay-o-nel. Both young men were very accommodating, friendly, & knowledgeable about the menu. They were absolutely WONDERFUL!! I was extremely impressed with the food & drink. I'll definitely be going back!!!

    The food was very good, and reasonably priced. The server was nice but she was very overwhelmed and we waited a really long time for our food, a longer time for our check, and it made for a really really long night. They’re short staffed. We will return on a weeknight to see if it’s better.
