We had a disappointing experience, the place looks great, not super crowded between tables, but I was ao loud the server caught not hear and missed items and made some errors. When the appetizer arrived there were no plates to serve onto for items that needed to be eaten with a fork. The main course was good and on time but maybe not quite worth the price.
Overall not a bad experience, but when its busy it extremely loud and the server did not seem engaged with the clients at all.
I would try it again, but not in any rush.

We celebrated our 22nd Valentine’s Day here at the Foundry this evening. Our server was Tiana (hope I spelled that right). Hands down, the best service I have ever had. She was so attentive and took the time to chat with us for a few minutes. As we stood up to leave she came over and said have a wonderful rest of your Valentine’s Day. At the same time we went in for a hug. 🤗. Sometimes, the universe aligns people to meet. Tiana is such a beautiful soul. Thank you for making our special day even more special. ♥️. Oh, and the Firehouse Burger was delicious 😋.

We were there for my husbands 65th birthday party. Our waitress made the experience absolutely the best. There were some mix ups with food orders and waited for some of the meals, but the food was very good my daughter is celiac and I was worried her food would get mixed up with other orders from the table but everything was great there. Thank you for giving us and my husband a great 65th birthday party he is undergoing cancer treatment but he ate every bit on his plate and the rainbow cake was such a sweet touch.

Had a wonderful New Year’s Eve supper. Everything was delicious, and the lemon bread pudding was the perfect way to finish the meal

Service was great but food was horrible. Fish was rubbery and small. Minimal fries that tasted musty. Not worth 24$ Chef also “forgot to make”our appetizer before bringing food out. Can’t even blame it being busy cause it wasn’t even at half capacity.

When you have a food allergy it is always a relief when you find somewhere that offers so many options . The menu has everything clearly marked . VG/GF/DF . There were so many gluten free options it was hard to choose just one . I ended up having The Foundry Roastwich sandwich and fries . It was delicious . There were also several gf desserts . I will definitely be back

Average. There are moments when it is above average but not enough. There are also moments when it is below average. Hit or miss. Like to see it be more consistent. Casual space with a good menu. Great addition to Durham.

We have been here about 6 times but they never quite get it right. The food is either cold or it takes too long to get it or they mess up the order. It’s great that they make their own gluten free buns and would be good for a cold sandwich but as a bun for a hot sandwich (burger or grilled chicken), they get soggy and mushy then fall apart. We were there today around 3 and even though we were the only ones there, it took about 45 min. to get our burgers (which were warm not hot). The app my hubby ordered didn’t come out until after our meal was served and they charged us $2.00 for mayo for my burger. This may very well be out last visit.

Group dinner was great! Food was served relatively close in timing so nobody was waiting to eat.
The whiskey burger was recommended to me and it was so delish! Side caesar salad was so good - creamy, not soggy. My husband had salmon amd he loved it.
Katie was incredible. She sets a buzz about the table and everyone enjoyed her candid honesty.

Had a great experience at the Foundry 1872. I got the pizza and it was well done and delicious with a generous amount of toppings on it. My wife got the shrimp fajitas and they came out sizzling as a real spectacle. They were delicious with the added, I don't know what it's called but I think it's a cheese sauce and it was really good.

The service was fantastic, our server was really great and the food came out really quick.

Really neat building with a lot of history to it and I absolutely love the modern industrial vibe. Seeing the bar as well just makes me want to come back and have a beer and watch the game there.

Overall had a very good experience and will definitely be back.

I would like to say the staff at The Foundry did an amazing job for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. The food was delicious and the waitress we had was great. From serving the food to the taking of pictures for the event. I would highly recommend The Foundry to anyone travelling through the West Grey County.
