Founding Farmers vs. Farmers & Fishers

Founding Farmers and Farmers & Fishers, "sister" restaurants, both bring a lot to the table.

Founding Farmers is in the Foggy Bottom area, whereas Farmers & Fishers is on the waterfront in Georgetown. Point 1 for F&F for it's location.

Founding Farmers' food is slightly better in my opinion. Both restaurants have very good food and affordable prices. But I like more of the food options on the FF menu (cornbread with butter and honey spread is amazing). Point 2 goes to FF.

The "vibe" at FF is also better. F&F has these plastic green and white checkered tablecloths that are gross. Point 3 to FF.

Both restaurants pride themselves on their mixed drinks, which are very impressive. The offerings seem very similar, but FF has "recession proof" drinks that are 3-4 bucks less than the other cocktails, and F&F does not have this option. Point 4 to FF.

Finally, for kicking us out of F&F when the bathroom started flooding even though people were still working on their drinks, and with no compensation, final point to FF.

So all and all unless you want to be near the Waterfront, if you're choosing between these two restaurants, go to Founding Farmers- beats Farmers & Fishers 4 to 1.
