MoCo's Founding Farmers

"The service was great. Our waiter isaac was very attentive and kind. The main course i got was the scallops meunière. The scallops were amazingg but the risotto was a bit underdone. My favorite part was the desert- I got the vanilla cheesecake and it was great."

"Enjoyed Winter restaurant week with a delicious 3-course dinner of salad/soup, entree, and dessert! Reservations made via OpenTable with everything ready for us when we arrived. Table lightning was a dim (noticed a bulb out) making menu difficult to read but the server knew the menu well and provided meaningful input into our entree selection. I loved the atmosphere and decor. (Server commented that it was a slow night so I believe that’s why I had no problem with same-day reservations.) Regarding our meal, the salad (says “small” but it was a pretty good size with the fresh toppings) had fresh greens and just enough dressing to flavor each bite without the greens drowning. Our entrees came out hot and tasty! I enjoyed the Farmers Platter which was a perfect sampling of their offerings. If you love hotdogs, come here! Our other meal was the Fish of the Day (Rockfish) Meunière style (which was recommended by our server). It was a fabulous choice! We finished the meal with dessert and shared an ice cream sundae with superb ingredients! The hot fudge was perfection as was the vanilla ice cream and real (dense) whipped cream! (Coulda lived without the rock hard brownie at the bottom, but still…yum!) Overall, a wonderful experience and I would go again! Thank you for a wonderful meal on a snow day!"

"We came here for restaurant week lunch. You could get a soup/salad, entree and dessert for $25. As the normal cost of the quinoa bowl was $14.50, the normal cost of the entrees was $23-24 and the desserts were $12, this was an incredible deal and I would recommend anyone who is nearby one of their locations to stop by. The quinoa bowl was very good, perhaps one of the best tasting salads I've had, and a lot of very healthy stuff inside. For the entrees, we ordered the Chicken Bolognese Bucatini and the Chesapeake Wild Blue Catfish. Both were pretty good, although I wished the portion of catfish was bigger. Normally I am not a huge fan of grits but I thought theirs were actually very good. The bucatini had a good portion, very filling and I really liked the homemade pasta. The desserts were also very tasty. I liked the Banana Cream Pie more than the Key Lime Pie as the key lime was a little bit too sweet for my taste. I'm very happy to have come during this restaurant week deal as it was incredible value for $25 each. However, if rating these dishes at the regular price, the only dish I would order again would be the bucatini as I felt the others were a bit too expensive for the portion, although everything tasted very good. The only downside today was the service was on the slow side. The restaurant was quite busy, probably because of restaurant week, but we were on our lunch break and ordered as soon as we could, and ordered our desserts to go before our entrees came. We were in and out in about an hour and 5 min which isn't a disaster, but we were hoping for better than that as we felt at least we were pretty efficient on our end."

"I can’t say enough good about our experience at Founder’s. The service, atmosphere, food were a collective collaborative 10/10 with our server Tavis. I don’t often write reviews but I was truly taken aback and honestly wish I could live closer to experience this more often. Highly recommend."
