Founders Tavern & Grille

This was my family’s first and last trip to founders. While the server was nice, the food was bad. The crab dip was just a seasoned orange colored cheese dip, we kept wondering whether it contained crab meat. My wife had a beat salad, that was just ok. My son and I had burgers that were like salt licks. They provide supper small mason jars for drinks which was on no help to use thirsty salt victims. The French fries were the only palatable things served.

We brought our grandson here for lunch because they advertised outdoor seating. Unfortunately, it was pretty hot and their seating is very close to Ritchie Hwy so there was a lot of traffic noise. We went inside. We were the only people wearing masks but the entire bar seating area was empty so we chose a table there. The restaurant is cozy, comfortable and authentic. I had the fried green tomatoes (I’m vegetarian), my husband had the shrimp tacos and crab soup and our grandson had a burger and fries. I also had the Raspberry Lemonade Sangria, which was light, refreshing and delicious. The tomatoes, soup and burger were all superb and, while my husband said the tacos were good, he felt they weren’t worth the price ($21). Our grandson also said his fries had no seasoning. But the staff was great, constantly checking on us and immediately taking away empty plates and such. After lunch, we ordered dessert. Hubby got the Salted Caramel Cookie and our grandson and I got what is probably the greatest Apple Pie we had ever had!! Apparently both desserts are made in-house. They were more on the pricey side but most of what we had today was very much worth it!!

Last night my family had dinner here for the first time and the experience was better than I imagined! The atmosphere was welcoming! Our waitress, Monita, was energetic and fun! The food, drinks, & service were all around great! Pictured is the Strawberry Basil Gin cocktail that was absolutely delicious! We also enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, French onion soup, and shrimp tacos! We will definitely be back for more!

Always a pleasure visiting here. Wait staff is excellent and the beer is cold with a good selection of draft beers. I ordered the Bunker Hill burger. It is 2 half pound burgers with American cheese and corned beef brisket on top served on their homemade sweet roll. This burger is in my top 5 of all time list. I've traveled quite a bit and eaten many burgers, so this is saying something for what they offer here. Thanks for another great dining experience

Great service, delicious food and nice sized portions. We started off with the fried green tomatoes and they were soooooo good. I had the fried chicken with mac & cheese & roasted yukon potatoes. The mac & cheese wasn’t my favorite, but I’m picky. The gravy that comes with the fried chicken is SO GOOD, and the chicken was so hot and not dry. My husband got the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich with fries and loved it. Great flavor. Really enjoyed the environment too.

Wonderful food, awesome drinks, extensive whiskey list, all in a relaxed setting with great service! My wife and I have been here several times and the food and service have been consistently great. Our young adults have joined us several times and like it just as much as we do. Pictured are the shrimp tacos with Maryland Crab Soup, both were wonderful and I'd definitely recommend them. The drink shown is a Strawberry Basil Gin, very tasty. My wife got blackened mahi mahi, which was perfectly done with the blackening just right. The most popular item at our table though was a side order of insanely tasty brussel sprouts (with bacon & other flavors obviously), these really should be an appetizer for the table - the best savory brussel sprouts we've ever had. Finally, the service here has always been friendly and excellent. Enjoy the food and drink responsibly 😋

This place was fantastic. I was in MD visiting a friend who recently moved to the area, and we had lunch here. We got the Candied Bacon, Fried Green Tomatoes, and the Crab Dip in a Bread Bowl. Everything was outstanding. Service was fast and friendly and the interior has a great vibe. We struck up a conversation with Bobby, who wasn’t our waiter but checked on us anyway in addition to our server, and he gave my friend some amazing restaurant recommendations for her family to try since they’re new to the area. I know there are a ton of place to eat in this area, but I will definitely request we come back here when I visit her again. We highly recommend this place!
