It was wonderful. The atmosphere was steller, service was great. Food was good but cool. We had a buffet. The food all could have been hotter. They needed more fire under the meat and veggies.

I was very disappointed, the food was only mediocre and it was so crowded! Our server was excellent! I ordered a lemon drop martini and it was so sour I couldn’t finish it. The best item was the prime rib nice and rare.

Had reservations for 4 o’clock did not get seated until four 4445, most items on the buffet if they were filled, we’re not really hot and it took a while for them to replenish the missing items. Some of the items listed on the buffet menu were never out our server was wonderful and kept stopping by the table to check on us believe they just need the fine tune the flow of food to the buffet and find a better way to keep the food hot.

Went for their Christmas day buffet. This was my first year going to this location. I went to Georgetown and another DC location the other years. The Tysons Corner location is soooo much better. Not too crowded and the buffet line was moderate. I was able to easily get seconds.

This is our 2nd year trying the Christmas Buffet..all I can say is "we are another a happy couple (my husband and me). " Founding Farmers did not disappoint. The food is outstanding!!! Over 50 options to choose from. My one suggestions is make available "well done" red meat options. Everyone does not like to see blood draining from their food.

The service was great. Although very crowded the staff did a great job of getting everyone to their tables or handling order pickup’s etc. The food I would rate as follows: Salads and desserts - Amazing. My turkey was dry and so was the fried chicken. The ham was good. The sides would have been better but tended to be overcooked- most likely from trying to keep them hot. I believe a normal buffet would have been a better experience but the Christmas buffet draws so many people I’m sure it was difficult to keep the food hot yet keep it from drying out. I will visit the restaurant again but not at Christmas.

Christmas Buffet was well worth the $55. Many food entrees to choose from. My only ding from a 5 star to a 4 was the food was not hot--just warm. Loved the sides and the bread options. Drinks were overpriced! I had a Manhattan--really tasty.
