    Had breakfast at Founding Farmers this morning—great food, but Joe’s stellar service was the best part. Attentive, friendly, and great service. Highly recommend and ask for Joe.

    Perhaps my expectations were high but the service was extremely slow. I could only conclude they were short staffed. Good came out very slow. They didn’t have the fish of the day which happens, and also one side was out of stock. Food did taste great and fresh. Server was very nice but food just took too long to come out and we didn’t see our sever very often

    They offered brunch for 200 seating but didn’t tell us they stop bringing items out at 230. They ran out of multiple things and only offered a free dessert to make up for it. Buffet workers spoke very little English and were rude. Very disappointed for the price of the buffet.

    Our server was the absolute best. We went for a pre-show meal. When making our reservations, we didn't realize that the brunch buffet was our only option. Not being a fan of buffets (overly priced and too much food), I was disappointed that I couldn't order from the regular menu. That said, the food was delicious. My only complaint is that we were seated at 1:30 and buffet ended at 2pm. There were many items that weren't being refilled/stocked as the buffet seemed to be winding down.

    We had brunch out for a thank you for the two ladies that took care of my animals while I was away in Mississippi. This was their first time there and they really enjoyed it.

    Overall it was a good experience. However, my husband was served his food at least 10-12 minutes ahead of the rest of the table; there were 5 of us. This was not the fault of the server but the kitchen. He felt uncomfortable eating ahead of us but we urged him as he had a hot meal. What made this worse, is that we celebrated his birthday and he was left eating alone. I was very unhappy. They brought us complimentary dessert - fine - but this sort of thing shouldn't happen. Left me feeling I'm not sure when I'll return here.

We’ll take your comments into consideration to ensure this doesn’t happen again in the future. We hope you'll give us another chance to make things right. -Tiffany
