    I took my husband here for brunch for the first time, and although he was underwhelmed by the brunch selections they had, he did love their pancakes. I absolutely love this place, I come here all the time for brunch with my girlfriends, it’s always a 10 out of 10 for me.

    We had a reservation and were seated within a few minutes of our arrival - just enough time for us to get a view of the buffet. The buffet was well staffed and had a wide variety of items to choose from. Since this was our first visit, the hostess who seated us gave good description of buffet and explained the menus and beverages. Our waiter, Aaron, was just as good, introducing himself, explaining and taking our drink orders, and keeping track of the needs of our table and I'm sure, the others he was responsible for. A manager, Dean, stopped by to answer our questions about Founding Farmer and to make sure we had what we needed and our expectations were being met. Both he and our waiter Aaron were very pleasant, helpful, and met our needs in the midst of a very busy environment.

    This was my first time eating there. The food was good but not great. It may have been just what I ordered. I would eat there again and try a different dish before making a solid opinion

    Let me first say that we went for the Christmas day buffet, so this may not be applicable to their daily menu, service, and ambience. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre, they ran out of an item that my daughter was very much looking forward to eating, and the service was confrontational. The waiter argued with my husband regarding a drink order he placed. Maybe I will go back when there isn’t a holiday rush.
    Founding Farmers VA: TysonsResponded 1 day ago

We would love to welcome you back to provide a better experience. This said, please email me at: Hospitality@FRG.Farm with a copy of your review, date dined, and location.

    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.

    Thank you for sharing your experience, Joanne. We are glad to hear that your server was excellent and that you enjoyed the prime rib. We’re sorry to hear the rest of your experience didn’t meet expectations. We truly appreciate your feedback and will work on improving the overall experience.
