    Overall it was a good experience. However, my husband was served his food at least 10-12 minutes ahead of the rest of the table; there were 5 of us. This was not the fault of the server but the kitchen. He felt uncomfortable eating ahead of us but we urged him as he had a hot meal. What made this worse, is that we celebrated his birthday and he was left eating alone. I was very unhappy. They brought us complimentary dessert - fine - but this sort of thing shouldn't happen. Left me feeling I'm not sure when I'll return here.

    I had a fantastic breakfast at Founding Farmers this morning! The food was great, but what really stood out was the excellent service from Joe. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right, all with a genuine smile. Joe’s top-notch service made the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by for breakfast and hoping you get Joe as your server!

    Our server was just not good and that dampened the experience for my group. He took forever to bring drinks. Maybe it was the bar (he claimed) I don’t know.
