First it was really hot inside restaurant. The vet was very nice and helpful. The bar drinks were missing key ingredients like foam on top of mai tai. One of the entrees came out incorrect. Took a long time for replacement meal. This experience was very disappointing.

Received a gift card to Founding Farmers. Great atmosphere but A/C wasn't working well on a 100 degree day. Large portions and quality is good but overpriced. Also, I had invited family- we were a party of 9. An automated tip was added which I was okay with but it was 22% which I completely disagree with. I usually tip well but when its automatically added-18% should have been used. I personally won't be going back.

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to dine with us, Jackie. We’re glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and appreciated the portion sizes, though we’re sorry to hear about the discomfort with the A/C. Your input is important, and we’ll be sure to share it with our team as we work to provide the best possible experience for every guest. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the future. -Kristina

Met a friend for lunch. Greeted warmly by the hostess & server. Given a booth in a quiet location so we could talk easily. Excellent food - tuna poke salad & salad with chicken (server readily substituted the fried chicken for grilled. Excellently prepared. Delicious!

service was slow. Food looked good but was not not, just warm. Sadly this has been my experience there for 5 years. I keep hoping for hot food but the kitchen is far away at this FF and promptness of service has not seemed to be a priority there for 5 years. The salt also never really works. yes, you crank it and a little comes out, but they are just a bad design of shaker. The menu is fantastic, but the actual food and the service are poor. I'd love to eat the items on this menu more but I go instead to Silver Diner, which I don't prefer, because they are prompt, attentive, and food is hot. I go to Teds and First Watch for same reasons. FF is the closest to me of all of those, but the food is also VERY expensive for cold food and slow service and no functional salt.

The ambiance and our server Masha at Reston was wonderful. She was charming with the children and was very mindful of our time. She appropriately interrupted us while we were family bonding and gave honest menu recommendations. To be honest, the 3-star came from the food and drink. I visited the Tyson’s Corner location and the food and drinks were much better. I expected the food to be of the same caliber, but it was not seasoned well - the meat for the Farmer’s Platter salty (fried chicken) and dry (brisket). The Gnocchi Sausage and Mushroom had so much potential! The taste was there but the white sauce was so soupy. I was expecting less heavy cream and not to add salt to give it taste. We will be visiting the Tyson’s Corner location next time around.

Unfortunately we had an outside table and rained and no option but stay sitting outside on Father’s Day. Other tables were sat inside and we were told no room. The buffet was too crowded and food constantly empty when went to get some. I would not do buffet again. Only saving grace was our delightful server. I didnt catch her name but she was a blonde former ice skater. She truly made the experience much nicer!! She was delicious!

Server and service was good, some of the hot food items on the brunch buffet were unfortunately cold, which was a significant point of issue.
