    What a wonderful restaurant experience my husband and I had tonight! The food, server Eric, manager Dean , and atmosphere were all top-notch. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I had a restaurant meal this good. My Old Fashioned cocktail was made with the Founding Fathers smooth bourbon with a hint of sweet, spice, and herbs. Perfect! We started with the prosciutto farm bread, a perfect combination of creamy, delicious goat cheese, piquant fig jam, and flavorful prosciutto on top of in-house made bread. Delicious! My main dish was the spatchcock chicken with Peruvian spices. The chicken was seasoned and cooked impeccably; both the thigh and breast were moist and tender. My husband had a very good piece of rock fish, but the chicken was so good, he found himself taking bites of that too. The chicken was served with beautiful green beans cooked to a perfect ”snap,” the way I like them. Plus, the mashed potatoes were so tasty, I’d be happy to make a meal out of just those. Thanks to the chef and to Eric, who served with politeness and professionalism. A special thanks goes to Dean. He greeted us after we were seated, checked on when our food was coming out, apologized for the food not coming out sooner, and offered us free desserts. We eagerly accepted his offer and left with a box of the Founding Fathers chocolates. I can’t comment on the chocolates because we are saving them for tomorrow when we’re not so full. I have no doubt they’ll get high accolades too. Founding Farmers Tyson sets high standards and meets them. We will return.

    Jacqueline was an outstanding server. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and polite. She also took some great picture of our party. The food was excellent with reasonably sized portions. It was also delivered at the same time. She did a phenomenal job putting the candles on the cake and leading the 'Happy Birthday' song. I highly recommended the restaurant and the seating venue with the high backed booth. I only have one small criticism. Her manager refused to make the lights brighter over the table. Many in our party were older and they had to use the flashlights on their phones to read the menu. Jacqueline asked to have lighting brightened but the manager told her tell us to use our phones. Therefore, my complaint is directed towards her manager and certainly not Jacqueline.

    Sunday brunch left a little bit to be desired. The buffet choices were not always full, and some items looked like they'd been sitting there for a while. I think if we arrived earlier (we were seated at 1pm) the brunch buffet might have been better stocked and fresher.

    We often enjoy the Founding Farmers brunch buffet, and it never disappoints. The food is varied and delicious. Although the place is always packed, the service is quick and always great. Highly recommended it. Reservations are a must, though, unless you are prepared to wait a long time.

    Met friends on Sunday but we left because our only option was a buffet style brunch. We would have stayed if we could have ordered a la carte. The food is always great here. Of course we will be back but not on a Sunday.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, J! We are glad you enjoy the food here and look forward to having you back. We understand the preference for a la carte and hope to see you on a day when you can enjoy our full menu! -Kiara
