A really good restaurant on one side and a cool local sports bar on the other.
Highly recommend the burgers and anything seafood.
zI HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE BECAUSE I CANNOT GET IN. MY SISTER SAYS THAT IT IS GREAT…but I have never been. THEY SHOULD WANT TO BE AVAILABLE TO ANYONE.WHY NOT???
This is a great spot for yummy food. Locals eat here! Prices and portion sizes are respectable. Cocktails are made well ! Staff is very accommodating! Lots of daily specials to choose from. I will return again for certain.
Typical local pub spot. It is good. The beer selection is good. The food is pub food, not spectacular but good quality. The staff was great, bartenders are very nice and attentive, even on a busy football playoff time with a full bar. The Old Fashioned was good. If you want comfort food and a cozy environment, stop in. Tell em Barsnobs sent ya!
Great tavern and restaurant. Friendly service, locally owned with proud owners.
Excellent!

I recently visited founders tavern and had an unpleasant experience with one of the workers. As soon as I walked in to the empty restaurant the server says”Are you going to be done by 5:30?” I respond with “yes that works” she resorts” well it’s going to have to work; we have a party coming in”. The food is decent and everything else goes smoothly we pay and leave a tip. The server raced outside to approach me and questioned the amount I left, implying dissatisfaction with their service. Next time, I’ll bring a calculator to make sure my tip is up to their standards! Was the tip not enough or was the clientele not to her standards?

I think people are forgetting a tip is curtesy and you are tipped based off your service regardless how high tipping percents are now a days.
This being said if you think you deserve 18% tip after asking a party who walked in at 3:30pm if they are going to be done by 5:30pm and then telling them “it’s going to have to work because we have a party coming in”… Tushing us every step of the way, then once all is said and done the bill is paid and a cash tip is left on the table. To have the server chase you to your car with the tip and ask “was there something wrong with the service?” because the tip did not fit the bill as per her, then proceed to hand the tip back to us and walk back inside you have to be crazy.

Good food & excellent service .
As a starter, we opted for the Chicken and Lemongrass dumplings, and let me tell you, they were absolutely divine! They're delicately steamed and served in a zesty ginger glaze, accompanied by a Thai dipping sauce. They're so delicious, you don't even need the dip! The marinated filet mignon steak tips also never fail to impress – they're consistently tender and bursting with flavor, making them a must-have every time we dine here. As for the main course, we invariably choose the baby back ribs. Good ribs are hard to come by in New York, but this spot has by far the best ones on the North Fork! The prices are reasonable, the cocktails consistently deliver on flavor, and the service is consistently excellent... all in all, just exceptional across the board.

Nice local watering hole- restaurant. Very good French onion soup, chicken dumplings, and fried shrimp. Moderately priced menu. Select from burgers, hand helds, catch of the day. Founders is a change of pace from the overpriced, understaffed restaurants on the north fork. Try Founders, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
