Founders Irish Pub in Bondurant did the catering for my daughter's wedding and I'm telling you, it was delicious! The Banquet Hall upstairs was perfect for her day and the staff was amazing! We chose chicken breasts, pulled pork, salad, garlic mashed potatoes, and sauted green beans. I would highly recommend!

We reserved Founder's Irish Pub for a wedding rehearsal dinner upstairs, and it turned out fantastic. We were able to use the area to our liking, decorate it beforehand, work directly with the staff on what food and drinks we would serve, and everything worked out perfectly. We had plenty of space, the food was delicious, hot, ready, and easy to serve to our guests. The staff remained there to help us out with drinks and anything else we needed, and everything was seamless and simple for us. The downstairs environment was also energetic, accommodating, and fun, we got a chance to play some pool as well. We'd only been here once now, but we loved it. Thanks to the staff for helping us and being awesome!

I hate making posts like this cause I'm sure it's not like this all the time. Came here for a family dinner since one of our family members used to work here. Arrived at 530 for the fried taco special and they were out at 530. We ordered appetizers and they took forever to get there. Most of our party of 8 got there food super super slow or the order was wrong. There were not alot of people so I kind of expected better service. The server informed us there was only her and the cook who was new and spoke no English. I honestly felt bad for her I didn't even complain about my $17 mug of beer. Needless to say, I was disappointed, but try it out. Maybe you'll have better luck. Nice open patio.

Food wasn't great - didn't bring what was ordered and the other item was cold. Waitress wasn't accommodating. Saw a review to that their card was abused twice - checked my card and $4.00 was added that I didn't authorize. I had to call to get it refunded. I also had 2 pre authorization charges of $17.72 and $4.00 while my friends only had pre authorization of $1. Don't recommend.

Met up with friends for patio time. Patio area is nice, a plus for the place! My friend ordered a Coors Light draft, me a Summer Shandy, both came & looked identical…hazy, darker color, yet one was a Coors light?? Waitress said others had mentioned before Coors Light looked different, but assured that manager had traced tap lines and it was Coors?? Any beer drinker knows….Food took a long time to get: Rueben eggrolls, turkey melt w/fries, loaded tots. Egg rolls & sandwich came at once. Eggrolls looked good, big in size, but only warm not hot, but tasty. Turkey melt had all ingredients listed but Turkey…it was ham instead.?? Tots finally came, about 12 tots, a dollop of chili, sprinkle of cheese and chopped green peppers.?. No sour cream, they’re out. Tots were warm, but chili was cold…no wonder cheese hadn’t melted. Waitress wasn’t much help in accommodating or making it right, no manager on duty and cook was new.?. We did get a 1/2 off sandwich and no charge for tots that were sent back. Not a great experience, cute place for Bondurant, but not if things are better executed. We used debit cards….wishing we hadn’t now after seeing several reviews of abuse to other card owners. We’ll be monitoring bank accounts very closely…might be back but it’ll be a long time before that happens.

Haven't been in a while, won't be back to eat. There weren't very many people when we went, 1 other table inside and a couple outside took way way to long for the waitress to come get our drink orders. Ordered a draft beer, warm. Told the waitress she giggled at me. The appetizer came out Luke warm. Food - disgusting. Burnt, small, barely chewable rubbery pucks of meat. Have pico on the menu on a burger-the don't know how to make pico, apparently just throw raw onions and tomatoes on it. If you're in the area and want a can/bottle of beer go for it, but if you want to eat go elsewhere.

Nice day to sit out on the patio, but Randy was on fire playing some angry music. Even so, the food and drink were enjoyable. Bonus that they are on the DSM pub pass this year. Free beer!

Found it via the Pub Pass, it was a Sunday so got their special, omelets, hassbrowns texas toast and a bloody mary for $10, bargain. Got a couple beer chasers. Great place, great patio. A little ways from home, but will probably be back.
