   Great selection for a Sunday brunch! How I wish it had the famous cornbread too! Very lovely ambience, big space, wonderful staff! I was just surprised the coffee, tea or soda are not included. Normally, it is included in other brunch buffets, sometimes even mimosas. Overall, we had fun, we are full from eating the sumptous meal & definitely will go back!

   Friendly staff but extremely slow service. Forgot drink order and took 45 minutes to get black coffee. Good also took forever and came out ice cold. Manager was receptive and attentive to complaints though.

   Not very child friendly and their service was slow. Food is good, on par with other founder farmers in the area.

   Founding Farmers - RestonResponded 3 days agoHi, Vannonae. We encourage our guests to bring their families. We do not have a children's menu, but we have an abundance of kid friendly items on our menu. I am happy that the food was good and we look forward to serving you and your family again!

    Both my guest and I got the braised chicken risotto. It definitely was not as good as we expected. The risotto itself was very good, but the chicken was pretty lackluster. We pushed the chicken to the side and finished just the risotto. Next time, we will try the other risotto/s on the menu!

    The quality was amazing as always. They were busy and it seemed like they struggled a bit to keep things filled. Many of our favorite items were either not available or everytime we'd go up, there would barely be anything left. We just seemed to miss the refills. That being said, what we had was as wonderful as it always is. Things flowed well and everyone was welcoming and warm despite being obviously super busy. It wasn't our favorite visit but we'll still be back again and again as it is our favorite place.

    I have been to the Reston founding farmers multiple times for breakfast and always had a great experience. I took friends who were here from out of town expecting the same great food. Instead we were only offered a buffet which would have been fine except for the fact that most of the food was cold. Even the coffee in the coffee pot was lukewarm. It was also quite expensive and when they opened up the line for the buffet they did not even have eggs available at 9 o’clock in the morning. Cold food is not what I expected, they need to do better! We did not bother to complain to the management as they seemed somewhat understaffed.

    To be fair, we knew that this restaurant was a large open space and would be noisy, so that's on us. We went at a time when there were few people inside so it could have been much worse. The food prep noise coming from the cafe area was irritating. I think I prefer the atmosphere at the other Founding Farmers location at Tysons. Our server Bella was extremely attentive and provided top notch service. The food itself was very good, though the succotash ingredients were a little bit of a surprise and I found the dish to be overall too sweet. Salmon and scallops were both excellent and perfectly cooked; kudos to the chef. Mashed potatoes were to die for!

    Experience was average. One of the chairs I pulled out at the outside table was filthy with a lot of food crumbs on it. It took a little longer than desired for the server to greet us at the table. Food was good, but not great. It was better quality previously. Service was average, nothing special.

    The food was just ok. The corn bread seemed undercooked, the fried chicken was dry, the steaks seemed thin, and the overall food for the prices we paid just wasn’t the best. I’ve eaten at this chain a few times and it just didn’t seem up to par. The service was ok. Seemed like our waitress was frequently late with items needed like extra plates. But, there were others that would come by to see how we were doing that made up for her service. Just overall wasn’t the experience we were expecting especially for Father’s Day.

    Our server was ok. We had a 2:15 reservation. They were slow to seat us and the waiter was slow to respond. The food we had was fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Disappointed that several items were gone and not replenished. 2 of the servers in the buffet room were complaining that all the other people working the buffet were gone eating “upstairs”, but they still had to work, although only one of them was actually doing anything. On a positive note, we would definitely come back again, because what we had was excellent. Just thought this info might provide feedback for teachable moments. Thank you

    Went for Father's Day, long lines to get to the buffet, once got to the buffet, they were out of plates and most every food item on the menu. The food they did, was greasy and either over or undercooked, we all got sick from the meal. Service was horrible, dirty plates left on tables and no one came by to check on us or refresh our drinks.

    The brunch was good but the food was not replenished in a timely fashion. Had to wait 20 or so minutes for shrimp to be brought out. The Mac n cheese pan was consistently empty along with the desserts & appetizers.

    Birthday brunch, and in fairness it was also farther’s day! That being said reservations should have dictated food prep. They ran out of everything…I literally came for the salmon and spinach salad. Not once was there an ounce of salmon on the buffet display. After 3 trips through the long buffet line I gave up! Not at all delightful!!!!
