Chicken finger sandwich was burnt and dried. Beer was good but I can get good beer most other places.

Service was really the only good thing about this place. The place smelled musty like there had been water damage. No bartender in sight. Food was odd, sandwiches were too big but also not tasty. We will not be back.

We had the absolute BEST experience thanks to our server Sophia D. She was hands down the sweetest, most attentive, and genuine waitress we have ever had. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcome, she anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and checked in at perfect times.

Not only was she professional, but also knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. She went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed. Her positive energy made our day feel extra special!

She turned a simple brunch into a memorable experience. The only thing I wish was different is that a manager was present for us to sing our praises to❤️

Somewhere between dive bar and gastropub, Foundry is a good place for a casual couples dinner or a group of friends hanging out. The food was very good, and Chelsea the bartender was very nice and great at keeping everyone watered and food moving. The liquor selection has something for everyone, the happy hour deals seem good (esp. the hot honey pepperoni flatbread), and the tap had a compelling selection. It was hard to choose, but I had the Foundry burger (5*), with Greek fries (5*), the pseudo French75 cocktail (4*), and a nice scotch (5*). Very pleasant evening chatting with regulars, very nice vibe, I hope I'll be back.

Service was good, food was excellent. We sat for three hours catching up with old friends and weren’t even drinking alcohol. Our server didn’t try to move us out!

First time customer on 8/2/25 celebrating a friend’s bachelorette. I was excited to try this place out and was disappointed. This review speaks for no one other than myself in our group. The waitress was wonderful, very kind and understanding of our large group of ladies. She kept the bottomless mimosas going for the gals and everyone was having a good time. I ordered the eggs benedict but ordered the sunny side up eggs overhard. Normally I wouldn’t have but I am pregnant and being careful of my consumptions. They came out a little runny so my friend asked the waitress if we could get them overhard. We heard her tell the kitchen multiple times. While waiting for the corrected eggs a blond woman, who I can only assume was some type of manager, came out to rudely and condescendingly inform me that “hollandaise sauce is made with raw egg”. I wasn’t going to argue with her and just said “Nope, nevermind, I don’t want anything at all.” This outing was about a friend and I didn’t want anymore unwanted attention than what she rudely drew to me. Hollandaise sauce is not just “made with raw egg” … everything made with an egg starts with a raw egg. Hollandaise, if made correctly, is egg yolk tempered with hot butter and lemon juice and, IF made properly, is cooked to a non solid but non scrambled texture, creating a thick fluffy sauce that emulsifies with the butter and lemon juice. The egg is in fact cooked but it’s not a solid state of cooked like most think of as “cooked”. It is not a raw egg drizzle like she seems to think and declared rudely. Not long after I declined anything further the waitress brought out a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon and toast which was incredibly kind of the kitchen to send out and I appreciate their gesture because I was starving. It was very good. I was kindly comped my meal. This review isn’t about the kitchen or the waitress, it’s about the woman manager and how she treated me because how you interact with customers matters. She shamed me into not wanting anything at all when it would’ve just been easier to correct the eggs. BUT, perhaps, she did me a favor because the hollandaise here is just a “raw egg” sauce, I suppose??? According to her it is. I will def give this place a try again, the sweet potato tots my friend gave me were delicious and everyone’s food looked amazing, I will just hope she’s not there to spoil the experience for me on the next go round.

It was a slow Friday, didn't have all the ingredients for the cocktails we ordered, food was ok, but I wouldn't say good. It wasn't too loud to be able to have a conversation. The staff was very helpful and responsive.

Food was good but poor waitress was overwhelmed but the memorial day crowd. I kinda feel like the prices are just a little elevated.
