    We happened to on a weekend that exposed us to the buffet … lots of option to pick from … a hit loud and hard to hear each other around the table … staff were attentive and responsive … food was good … unfortunately, they do nothing about birthdays and we were left to the dessert table which was not what I had planned on …

    The experience was great with the exception that the restaurant was freezing cold There really needs to be some way to keep the cold from the main dining room. Heavy curtains by the entry ???

    Took forever to get coffee, and then had to chase down waiters for a refill. Food was good and cinnamon buns are awesome.

    I would not recommend doing a big party of people here unless you want to split between two tables. We had a party of 8 and the biggest table they have is not big at all. Some of the food options within the buffet were good, but there were a lot of people and each time I went up, the food was either not refilled or gone again. If you plan on doing the brunch, just know that it will definitely be crowded and be prepared to wait to get food. Since it was extremely crowded, it was hard to get much assistance from the waitress. Not their fault given how busy it was. Overall the food was fine, I would not recommend for a large crowd, unless you're reserving a part of the restaurant. I went with a friend last year for brunch and it was pretty good! I think going with a smaller crowd may be best.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Raz. We are sorry to hear your experience with the buffet didn’t fully meet expectations, especially with the crowds and limited seating for larger parties. We appreciate your understanding of the challenges during busy times, and we’ll take your comments into account as we work to improve. We’re glad to hear your previous visit with a smaller group was more enjoyable, and we hope to welcome you back for a more relaxed experience soon! -Kiara

    We had a fantastic breakfast experience at Founding Farmers! Both meals we ordered featured avocado, toast, and egg whites—simple, yet delicious and perfectly prepared. The service was exceptional, with staff being attentive and friendly throughout. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to start the day. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great breakfast experience!

    Food and service was great as usual but it was so cold in the restaurant that our entire group had to leave their coats on during the meal and we left a lot sooner than we planned because it was so uncomfortable.

    Thank you for your feedback, Hans. While we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food and service, we sincerely apologize for the discomfort caused by the temperature.
