Come here every Saturday after work. Tyler is the best. Super friendly and funny. Very fun atmosphere
Tyler's the best bartender, he makes the experience very fun and welcoming (his dance moves are a plus) !!!! will be back for sure!!
The food here was surprisingly really good. It definitely has a dive bar kind of setting, but it's right near the casinos and local to other cool shops on street road. Service was kind of slo.
Found this restaurant/sports bar looking to watch the Raiders game on Sundays. Alan & Asim are so accommodating getting on my game, etc. People here are very friendly & since I'm a vegetarian my go to food is the delicious pretzels with beer cheese. Baked potatoe loaded with butter, sour cream & chives & mac & cheese. My hubby enjoys the salmon salad or wings & his IPA beer. Great sound & tvs. The addition to their team, a 3rd manager Maximino is also a great young guy to the company. So overall my experience is always a 5 star. Great service & very clean & open space. Thanks FF!
If you're going to come to this place I HIGHLY recommend requesting Bree. By far the best bartender/server in this place!! 10/10
We had Easter Brunch at Founding fathers and it was delicious!!! From the buffet to entrees. We were not rushed and our server was very attentive to our needs. We were in the Boat House row section and I believe her name was Megan. They now have 2 new regulars! I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Highly recommend! The wings are in the top 3 in the area. Service is always on point at the bar. Matt and Alyssa are friendly, attentive and fun to talk to. Stop by and see for yourself.
I was here yesterday with a large group of 17 for dinner. Founding Fathers is the newest life for this place which has been several other restaurants in the past. Overall, we had a good time. The restaurant at 7pm on a Monday had maybe four other patrons eating at the time. Very empty so we felt like we had the place to ourselves. We had two waitresses working our group, and they competently handled all of our requests. It was nice that they handed multiple separate checks for each couple or family, and kept track of it by writing our names on their order sheets. My wife and I had two very good cocktails each. Two Philly Mules (a Moscow Mule with Midori for Eagles Green), and two Cannonballs which was a rum based drink with lime and pineapple. For food, the mozzarella sticks were nothing fancy or homemade but tasty, the Picnic Chicken sandwich was nicely fried and two good-sized patties. The fries that came with it was mountainous and they were in the style of McDonald's fries but not as good. My wife had a salmon Caesar salad, and really liked the dressing. The salmon was fine if not too overcooked. We also tried our friend's egg roll appetizer which was filled with a lot of meat. Again, probably not homemade but good. Another friend let us try one of his chicken wings and I really liked them. I don't remember what sauce was on them, but I could have had a lot. We were there for a couple of hours and the friendly staff kept up with everything. My main came out with the appetizers so I was done before everyone else was, but the conversation and company was nice. About $100 for four cocktails, one appetizer, and two mains. Tip was already included as we were a large party (but we were not informed of this so I almost double-tipped). Enjoyable experience. Lots of TVs on the walls with sports playing.
