The garlic olive chicken with steamed veggies was very good. Do not do get the Alfredo version. Our other entree was the Pasta Trio as we wanted to sample different things. I would say some BIG misses. I am not sure what their "lasagna" is but it isn't lasagna. It had no pasta and was FULL of a tomato sauce. There is NO tomato sauce in lasagna. Bolognese, 7-8 pasta sheets and béchamel. Simple The Alfredo was lacked flavor and salt. You need great parm to pull it off. The fried raviolis were not crisp and also flavorless . It's as if they got steamed sitting in a tray under a heat lamp. Overall a disappointment

The red dipping sauce was great and we liked the cheese sticks and onion rings though, they were crispy and the batter was well seasoned and not over the top salty. I ordered a chicken piccata but they seem to have forgotten the sauce? The waitress took it back to the kitchen and had sauce added and it did taste good once it was. The chicken was kind of mooshy on the outside and tough on the inside ... wouldn't order again. My husband ordered lobster ravioli and he liked it! He had shrimp added but said he would pick salmon next time as the shrimp was a bit tough. The kids had chicken tenders and fries and a spaghetti meatball. Spaghetti was a hit. Chicken was fine but the fries were sort of stale tasting with a weird texture maybe freezer burned? Not sure. In laws had a special steak medallion dinner and liked it. They said their martinis were not made correctly. I tried a gin and limoncello drink I forget the name of but it was not very good and I didnt like my husbands either I think we just weren't fans of their limoncello. We finished by trying tiramisu and chocolate cake. The chocolate cake was fudgey and rich. Too much for me but a hit with the kids and my husband. I usually love tiramisu but this one was not for me unfortunately. It was super wet and had a strong alcohol and vanilla taste but not as much espresso taste. Very thick cream. Very rich. We do not plan to go again but if someone else asked to meet there we wouldnt make a fuss. The decorations inside were very cute. I think sitting out on their patio would be nice too.

THE MEATBALL REVIEW…read more I went there on a recent Friday at 5:30 pm. I ordered the baked cavatelli and asked if I could add some meatballs. The waitress said that she would have to ask because they were running low on them. Huh?? It's the start of your weekend at 5:30 in the afternoon and you're already running low on meatballs?? She came back to the table and told me that she could not give me any meatballs because they had to save them in case there were other orders. What?! I looked around for a hidden camera to see if I was being punked. Nope, no camera. This was real life. I mean, I didn't ask for free meatballs, just meatballs. A dinner salad and garlic bread are included when you order cavatelli. The salad comes with red onion, pepperoncini, and croutons. I don't really like red onions or pepperoncini so I asked to have them left off. She shows up with the garlic bread and the salad and tells me, "we're out of croutons". Seriously?!?! The only thing that makes a sad, dinner salad worth eating is the croutons, am I right?! TWO, shattering disappointments all within 10 minutes. My frown kept getting lower and lower. The garlic bread was pretty decent, though. Not decent enough to make up for the lack of meatballs and croutons, but I digress. My three dining companions ordered pizzas and they were all pretty happy. I took a few bites and it wasn't too bad, pretty solid, actually. The end of the story is that the cavatelli was very salty and was nothing special. The non-existent meatballs, I ASSUME, would've helped. By the way, you can order two meatballs " ala carte" (I saw it on the menu later). I wonder if I'd just ordered them "ala carte", would they have been on my plate. I guess we'll never know because you only get one chance to make a first impression and I won't be going back. My suggestion to this business is to make sure you're well-stocked up on meatballs and croutons before you let the meatball/crouton guy have the weekend off. Oh, one more thing. They have cheesecake on the menu. You can order it with caramel, cherries, Oreos or strawberries, except you can't. They're out of strawberries. Ridiculous.

Requesting unseasoned salmon & received a salmon with seasoning. Orders came out wrong, our appetizers must've been ordered at different times as one came out 2 minutes before the entrees. She rarely checked in on us & just overall wasn't impressed. When I came in it was a minute before being greeted, with 5 ppl noting me - as someone who worked in the industry for 11 years, a simply "someone will be right with you" would've had me feeling fine.

Founders Irish Pub in Bondurant is one of our regular midpoint stops on bicycle adventures, and…read moreoverall it is still a place we enjoy coming back to. The patio is nice, the location is great, and the weekly specials and prices are still fair. On this visit, I believe we got some complimentary chips and salsa, and I ordered the Southwest Eggrolls for $9.99. The eggrolls were awesome. Most of the time we are here more for drinks, sunshine, and a patio break than a full meal, but the food we have had has been good. That said, Founders can be a little hit or miss. Service really depends on who is working, and the patio and patio games are starting to feel a little tired. I get it -- good help is hard to find, and it is probably tough to predict how busy any given night will be. We forgive you, and we will likely be back again and again. My honest note to ownership would be this: take a close look at the place and do not let it slip much further toward the "dive bar" category. The location is a gold mine, especially for cyclists and patio people. A little freshening up outside and some staff training on drink making and beer selection would go a long way. Still a good stop, still fair prices, and still a place we will keep coming back to -- just hoping it gets a little love before it slides too far.

We sat down and waited 10 minutes to get anyone to stop by our table. All the while we watched the servers stop and drop shots off for a big table, watch them consume their shots, cleared their table, then walk away from us again. We left. Never had a server acknowledge us. And it wasn't busy. A similar experience happened last season and we gave them yet another shot. Really sad to see a great location like this turn away previous happy clients.

This is definitely a neighborhood bar - as several other patrons / regulars asked us how we liked our drinks and dinners. Granted, the area looks a little on the rough side as you pull up but the service and food were both great - all handled by one lady behind the bar. On the recommendation of another patron, we started out with Bloody Marys with pickle vodka and I highly recommend them - not too salty or thick. For our meals, my wife ordered the Italian Beef (see picture) and I went with the Chicago Dog (see picture). As always, we each shared tastes and found both dishes to be very good. Our neighbors ordered the Italian Beef with Cheese (see picture) and Chili Dog (see picture) - and both of them thought they tasted great, commenting especially about how good the chili was.

The other TVs were on whatever other sporting events were on ESPN, FS1, etc. Additionally, they had a Yelp check-in offer that was not honored due to them no longer having the product.
