Our office orders from Founders frequently, but today exceeded all of our expectations. Due to covid our office cookout turned into a last minute catered event. For about 28 adults, Founders was able to take our order last minute, individually box everyone's lunch and write the individuals name and item on top. SUPER IMPRESSIVE! Our lunch was delicious!

It is rare I post reviews but they truly deserve this review. I had my bridal shower here today, and they went above any expectations that I had! Every person went out of their way to compliment the food, and hospitality. The owners were amazing while picking out the menu, and the day of! Every single one of my bridesmaids complimented how helpful the owners were throughout the event, even down to providing take out containers and boxes at the end of the event. You can tell they take pride in their business! I HIGHLY recommend Founders Cafe for jus a quick pop in, or your next event!
