    We had a reservation and were seated right away, which was great, however we were a party of 8 and were seated in a booth that was too small for 8 people so it was hard for everyone to eat. The drinks were good. A couple of us had pasta and it was clear the pasta dishes had been pre-made and had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. The pasta was clumped together and the sauce congealed. As was the mashed potatoes and green beans on another dish. For the price I don’t think we would come back.

    Delicious food made from scratch - love it! The brunch has tons of options - there are even single dishes that are part of the buffet that you can order to the table - for example - I had a very yummy chia seed pudding with fresh peanut butter and berries. No-el did an awesome job as our professional customer service ambassador!

    Excellent food, excellent service, and just a wonderful experience overall. The banana split was probably the best I’ve ever tasted. Can’t recommend highly enough!

    Pretty nice restaurant. I am vegan and they at least had options. I would appreciate if you had a more robust vegan salad! Seeds- added tofu as an option or tempeh- rice noodles- artichokes- crunchy sliced almonds or pecans. Just a bit more hearty. Great waitress and service and my husband lives the chicken.

    Thank you for your feedback, Jana! We're glad you enjoyed the service and that we could offer vegan options. We appreciate your suggestions and will share them with our team. Hope to see you again soon! -Tiffany

    Food was good. Service was great. Beer should’ve been a lot colder. Plus, the restaurant is looking a little tired. First table we set at was so wobbly and rickety that we had to ask to move to another table. A lot of the chairs and the section we set at had holes in the coverings and and we had to wonder if they weren’t gonna fall apart when we sat down.  We will probably try a different location next time.
    Founding Farmers VA: TysonsResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your feedback, Gregory. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service. We apologize for the issues with the table and seating, and we’ll definitely look into making improvements in those areas. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try soon! -Najjah
