Our story

Built for good food, good music & good company.

From our family to Main Street.

Founding Brothers brings the warmth, flavor and energy of Nashville to Main Street in Newark, Delaware.

Created by the Osmanollaj brothers—the family behind the M2O Group—our restaurant and pub is built on hospitality, hard work and a genuine love of bringing people together.

Our kitchen serves Southern-inspired comfort food with a Delaware point of view, from hot chicken and burgers to steaks and pizza. Behind the bar, you’ll find craft cocktails, cold beer and a thoughtful whiskey selection.

Every Friday and Saturday, live music turns dinner into a full night out. Whether you’re a Newark local, a University of Delaware student or visiting Main Street, pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

Eat well. Drink well. Stay for the music.
—The Osmanollaj Brothers
