Came here for the 1st time & really loved it! From the atmosphere, to the service, to the tasty custom drinks. The French onion soup was amazing! All the food was good except the blackened chicken wasn't really blackend chicken because it wasn't spicy at all, a little bland. But ill def be back!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Daniel Williams · Feb 2026

The inside is kinda rustic, but in a very nice beautiful way. The utensils are even wrapped, and hand tied with twine. That was a very nice touch. I will give the place and service a 10/10. When I go out to eat, all I really care about is the food. Now for the food. Im from the deep south and grew up around country and Cajun food, sometimes going out to eat just breaks your heart, and this time was one of those. I had fried green tomatoes, meatloaf/mash potatoes and a side order of Mac and cheese. Wife had the low country smash burger with fries. The fried green tomatoes were freaking awesome! Probably some of the best ive had, and even competes with any of the best sountern/Cajun fried green tomatoes ive eaten in the past, 10/10. I just wish they would give 4 instead of 3 for the price of

We had the best first experience at Founders! It started with a friendly welcome from the host stand. Very rustic atmosphere showcasing their bourbon collection, down to the twine wrapped around the silverware and mason jar cups! Bryan was an outstanding bartender, on point, friendly conversation, not in your face, efficient and skilled at his trade. He also made excellent food and drink suggestions. The crab dip was delicious, burgers were fresh, hand cut fries beat out Thrashers fries any day. We had the raspberry lemonade sangria and peach bourbon smash, both yummy! Wish we would've had room for one of their delectable looking desserts. We will be back again!

We had an amazing experience! We are out of towners and this was recommended by our host. I had the short rib and it was delicious! My family liked their meals as well. And they all stole bites of mine and wanted more. 😆 The waitress was so sweet and was great with our ordering and refills.

I love this chill patriotic hip neighborhood libations and food spot! From the classy American decor and the wooded brick interior, everything about Founders never fails to hit the spot. Although a bit pricey, the attention and care of the entire experience is perfect. I was particularly impressed with the elegant caring of current waitstaff who adapted easily to my menu change up requests at a moments' notice. Also, I was particularly impressed with the selection of teas and how the box was presented with flair for my selection. The fish and chips were divinely light and airy and my waiter accommodated my unusual request to sample something. The entire staff does a phenomenal job homage guests feel welcome and the music is always hip and relaxing too. Perfect alcohol and mixed drink selec
