Founding Farmers has become our Go To casual restaurant.

Portions are large, so we generally take half home for dinner the next day. The apple pie is close to homemade and their ice creams - churned in house - are outstanding. The waiters are always friendly, especially Carmen who, when asked how the salmon was made returned with the Founding Farmers cookbook opened to the correct page. Service is prompt and prices fair. Ambiance is cheerful & happy with the noise level just a tad loud for easy conversation.

We…read morestopped by on a Sunday morning around 9:30 am, and even though the restaurant was super busy, everything felt well organized and the service was attentive from start to finish even with our party of 12. The food came out quickly and was great, very consistent with other Founding Farmers experiences. One thing I always appreciate about Founding Farmers is their commitment to using quality ingredients. You can taste the difference, and even the simple breakfast dishes feel elevated without being overly complicated. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between rustic and modern, making it a comfortable place whether you're meeting friends for brunch or celebrating a special occasion. Despite how busy it was, our server kept our drinks topped off and checked in regularly without making us feel rushed. Overall, Founding Farmers MoCo delivered another great brunch experience. Between the quality of the food, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere, it's easy to see why it's such a popular spot. I'll definitely be back to continue working my way through the menu.

Best service and amazing iced vanilla latte. I visited here this morning for quick breakfast and I…read moream blown away by their service and food. The host's name was Mercedes and she explained to me her food recommendations. She was very professional and smiled all the time. She also told me it is raining outside so I should take an umbrella. I didn't have too much of an expectation on coffee as this venue is located inside a hotel but this coffee was definitely the best coffee I've ever had in any hotels. (i stay in Marriott hotels more than 30 days a year) Very smooth and appropriately sweet. You are doing well and please keep it up! *French toast was amazing too.

It's gorgeous and huge with large umbrellas at each table to keep out the direct sun. Hasina (manager) actually waited on us and she was wonderful as well. I got the Lobster Salad with the citrus vinaigrette dressing - it was the best lobster salad. My Mom had the Lobster Roll that came with house made potato chips and I tasted both and they were both wonderful. For dessert we split the chocolate mousse cake and it was the best we have ever had and came with a toffee crunch crust on one side. The ambiance was perfect, all the waitstaff (and there are plenty) were super attentive and so pleasant. The food was spectacular. We will be back in the fall when they change to their fall/winter menu and decorate the patio with pumpkins and turn the water fountain into a fire pit!

I have this place on my radar for quite a while but unfortunately it didn't quite hit. Came here…read morefor dinner for a business meeting with a friend and partner. We were looking for a quiet setting without too much disruption and nice ambience plus good food. Unfortunately this place missed on all attempts I really love the outdoor seating arrangements with the fire pits lights and parking space I think this is a great place to grab a drink and chit chat in the summer but aside from this I wouldn't be in a hurry to come back I ended up coming for dinner and it's very small on the inside with no more than 10 tables. We sat at a small table near the bar because that is one of the seats they had available. Their menu is not very expansive Here's what we ended up getting in an attempt to try a few different things The mushroom risotto was tasty The ribeye steak was horrible. I asked for it to be cooked medium and it was pretty bloody and rare. My friend doesn't mind it and I don't send back food so I couldn't eat it at all but honestly seeing something that bloody grossed me out totally. They also brought the ribeye which was full of fat and not a good cut of meat for the price they're asking for in both of our opinions with two starch dishes one which mashed potato and the other one was sweet potato and other root vegetables cut up. There was no option to ask for a different side. Dessert was lemon ricotta cake which honestly was kind of a bummer because it was sugary frosting that I could get at a Costco bakery The inside setting has a fireplace which is nice. One of the things that was a little bit different about our evening is the local patron who was there was a bit loaded and kept at our table we were trying to be polite about it but her husband didn't call her back and neither did the wait staff the wait staff did their best to get us distracted enough to move but the seat that they put us in was closer to the door and rather cold. I also got the impression that they were hoping to close up shop because the end dinner service at 9:00 p.m. and I had a seats in at around 7:45. I think the price is rather high given the quality of the food and not worthwhile. The only thing that I really did like about this place was the outdoor ambience so I might be inclined to come here with a group in the summer to sit by the fire pit chill out and hang and drink. Aside from that I'm not really loving the vibe of this place Plenty of parking in a private lot which is free. It's in a foresty part of Potomac if you like that kind of thing this will be a nice getaway not too far from the city.

Have you ever loved a restaurant so much you went back twice in the same day? That was me here…read more This Pike & Rose gem in North Bethesda is everything you hope for in a neighborhood spot -- fresh, imaginative Mediterranean-inspired food, a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere, and the kind of place you immediately start planning to revisit. Everything I tried was fantastic, from the perfectly prepared chicken kebabs to the cod with farro. The blackberry vodka cocktail was beautiful and delicious, and the saffron steamed milk with ginger for dessert was absolute perfection. The entire concept feels current, welcoming, and effortlessly cool without trying too hard. Can't wait to return the next time I'm back in town for meetings!

Although he will lead most times, I pick one place every weekend so we can check it off together. This Friday (5/16) I picked Julii! He's a regular so although super packed they made it work and sat us immediately without a reservation. This place is popular and a reservation is needed. While I thought the menu was limited, it does the job. I wanted Branzino and had that in my mind the whole day but was disappointed that it wasn't on the menu. Welp, y'all know I love a burger. Service was fantastic! Ambiance feels like stepping into a French‑Mediterranean boutique café that someone elevated into a luxury dining room. It's warm, intimate, and softly glamorous without trying too hard. Let's get into it! Chicken Kabob - Seasoned perfectly over rice! Really good! Burger - Added bacon and mushrooms- Absolutely delicious! Drinks were delicious! No apps because I wasn't that hungry! I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

5-stars for the staff! They are fast and friendly!…read more 4-stars for the beer selection, lots of local taps! 2-stars for the quality of the beers on tap. Many are flat. Why? Because many of them are wildy over-carbonated, which results 2-3 pints of beer being poured out for every 1 pint of beer as the excessive foam is pushed out by more and more beer...which also foams...it's a horrible feedback loop. What you're left with is a beer that has lost almost all its carbonation and bubbles by being excessively agitated during the pouring process. Y'all might need to turn down the PSI on your CO2 regulator. How do I know this? I brew beer, and this is what I sometimes have to do when my beer is over-carbonated.

I finally tried their brunch items on Mother's Day this year. My family enjoyed their breakfast burrito, burger with shoe string fries, and Cobb salad. The burrito was packed with eggs, chorizo, and all the fun sauces, making each bite flavorful and filling. I was pretty full after eating just half of it, and it came with a side of breakfast potatoes too. My only complaint about my experience here was that my entree came out 10 minutes before my dad's burger did. I know it w an be hard to time for all dishes to be ready at the same time, but I would have preferred for them to keep my entree on a heating plate rather than delivering it when it was ready. Overall, the restaurant offers traditional American items, with a slight spin. I am curious about their fried bacon sticks are about. The Grove compares to Ted's Bulletin in terms of ambiance, price, food options, and quality.

We discovered this place through the inKind app but were told that the system was down so we…read morecouldn't reap any benefits. We appreciated the explanation and was hungry so decided to stay. An hour later we regretted the decision. A breakfast burrito shouldn't take an hour to be made and the beauty of an open kitchen is that you can literally see the moment the chefs realize there's an empty spot on their griddle where a burrito should have been. I'm giving three stars because of the fact that the staff were probably exhausted from a brunch party that was ending; but what happened to the good ol days where bar staff were attentive and offered assurance rather than essentially ignoring our existence until we reminded them that we're not just keeping the seat warm while watching ice melt in our expensive drinks. The kicker... The burrito wasn't even hot when it arrived! The more I think about it, the more upsetting it is because I hate giving bad reviews. After second thought, I'm giving it two stars for the lack of accountability, service, and quality of food. We've gotten better service from plenty of places that were way more crowded and busy.
