★★★★★ 5.0 Love Jones · Oct 2025

This place was great!!! The food was amazing. Will return the owner, which is Jim was very welcome in. He came out and asked us about our food. The dessert was great. I had the peach cobbler crumble. I wasn’t too happy with it but other people might have a different opinion the sweet potato pie was good. That was a seasonal dessert I have to drink was a tropical crush cocktail. It was very refreshing with a rise and sun burger my friend had the shrimp tacos. She said they were amazing. It was a good vibe pretty reasonable, but it is where a lot of college kids are and also parking parking is not the greatestis best to probably park in a parking lot. Don’t forget to pay at the kiosk. Please pay attention to the kiosk when you’re paying, but besides that it’s a great vibe and I want for lunc

This was my first time coming to Founding Brothers. My fiancee and I came in for brunch/ lunch and cocktails. We each got something off the brunch menu and ordered 3 different flavors of wings. For drinks we went with their famous crushes. I got the pulled pork hash and it was perfect. The pulled pork is worth getting. For the wings we tried them breaded with the Nashville heat, Habanero peach, and the Hot honey. Truly recommend trying all of the flavors. For the drinks, the crushes are fresh and made perfectly. We enjoyed every bit of our meals, the wings and the crushes will definitely have us coming back. Our waitress Abigail was awesome, she offered suggestions and made sure our order was perfect. The food was cooked perfectly, service impeccable, and the atmosphere was unique.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Kathiria Quiñones · Dec 2025

The place is very beautiful, the atmosphere is incredible, but when we ordered the food everything seemed delicious until I removed the bread from my hamburger to remove the onions and I could notice a hair in the cheese of the hamburger, I said well these are things that can happen and I removed it and continued eating then we found another hair in my children's pizza and we could not let that pass. In addition to that I ordered my hamburger well done and they didn't bring it to me like that. I talked to the waitress, she served us very well, apologized and offered us another free burger and a dessert, but the truth is that we didn't want to eat there again.

I have gone there about four times now. This restaurant is delicious! I always get their Founding Burger and fries; the atmosphere is truly amazing. They also have live music some nights too. All my friends loved it. I’ve gone on a date here before too! Jayde, one of my servers is absolutely cool.

★★★★★ 5.0 Dwight Schrute · Aug 2025

I had an incredible experience at Founding Brothers in Newark, DE! From start to finish, everything was absolutely top-notch. First, I have to give a huge shoutout to Chef Dave – the food was simply amazing. The Southern Fried Catfish was perfectly seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection – crispy on the outside, tender and flaky inside. The sides of Mac & Cheese and Cornbread were rich, flavorful, and full of that true Southern comfort taste. Paired with their refreshing Southern Sweet Tea, it was a meal I’ll be craving again and again. Chef Dave’s talent in the kitchen truly made this dining experience unforgettable. Equally impressive was the service. Grace, my server, was nothing short of fantastic. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail of my meal was taken care o
