Founders House has been our Thanksgiving dinner destination for the last three years. We always look forward to the experience. The menu consists of your choice of traditional turkey dinner, prime rib, or baked stuffed shrimp. The turkey is moist and delicious, the prime rib cooked perfectly and the shrimp generously stuffed with tasty stuffing. All are served with mashed potatoes potatoes (best I’ve ever had) and perfectly sautéed whole green beans. The specialty cocktails are amazing and service is impeccable. Many thanks to Founders House for making our Thanksgiving meal so special.

We ordered the mussels and asked for the garlic toasts on a side plate AND they didn't do this, they placed the garlic toasts right on top of the mussels. I have to be gluten free and we just don't understand why people do not read the instructions. Our waitress stated that she did put in this request.

The igloo experience is soo worth it! You get the entire igloo to yourself and the heaters inside make it nice and cozy. The waitress (madison) was super friendly and attentive. Drinks and food were both flowing at a steady pace. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun outdoor experience in the cold weather!
