   Server quality can be inconsistent. Have had good servers and poor ones.A crap shoot.Biggest problem is waaay over priced drinks. VERy short pours by design. Small glasses wit h large ice cubes. Even for a "premium" margarita, 18.50 is a total rip off. Waiter took the charge (for one of the two )off the bill which was accommodative. But I am not ever going back to drink at the bar. $12-13 starting prices for a short pour in not in the cards for me.

   We had previously dined at Founding Farmers in Tyson's and had a great experience. The Reston Station location was a bit of a disappointment in comparasion. Service was adequate and the food was just OK. Portions were large and just OK food do not make one rush to return.

   Sunday brunch buffet Waiter didn’t bring any napkins, utensils (we got our own), didn’t ask if we wanted another drink or anything else. Buffet line disorganized, food out of almost every stand, desserts still slightly frozen. Brisket overdone and dry… chaotic personnel trying to bring in new platters. Never been to such poorly run brunch buffet. Would not recommend or go back

   We went for Sunday Brunch. The food was very good, but anytime you went through the buffet ~70% of the platters were empty. So it created a weird table situation, people were always getting up to see if the item they wanted was refilled, conversation was challenging and people were frustrated that they couldn't get what they wanted.

   Hi, Meg. Thank you for alerting us to these issues. I will be sure to pass your feedback along to our management team! I hope you will try us again and watch for our improvement! -Kerry

    George was fantastic! The experience left me laughing so hard my chest hurt in a good way. They seemed short staffed and kept running out of food. Most of the stuff was an extra five min wait. George did the best he could and I appreciate that.

    The food was good (better than many negative reviews we read). The service was OK - we did not get spoons with our coffee. The server tried to be cheerful but seemed tired. Also we put that it was an anniversary dinner and there was nothing special about the meal or service to note that.

    Thank you for joining us on Mother's Day this year and for your Anniversary! I am very sorry your note was overlooked. I am also sorry that you were not given spoons for your coffee. I hope you will both join us again and that we can correct our mistakes! -Kerry

    Steak was over cooked and over charred. Tasted like charcoal. Ordered Medium rare and came out slightly pink to well done. The brisket was perfect. I’d suggest ordering that if you want beef.

    In my opinion their buffet was not the best tasting. It was a little on the bland side and the buffet did not really have a good brunch variety. It was more lunch options than breakfast.

    The food was good and they were able to get us inside give the change of the weather and it being a holiday however, it was only buffet service on the day we dined and they were consistently out of items. They did not seem prepared for the amount of customers they were expecting.

    The first time that I have been really disappointed with a meal/experience at Founding Farmers. I get that it was busy as it was Mother's Day but it felt like we were at an average restaurant and the food and service was not at the level that you are accustomed to when dining with the FF Group. It was a buffet, the food was cold, the serving trays were empty, the food was not the quality that we are used to. I was bummed that was my Mother's Day meal....

    Too many people trying to fit into a small area to get food. Many of the food selections where empty. The kitchen and serving staff couldn’t keep up with the demands of the large crowd. Very disappointed overall in the dining experience. We have been for brunch here and other locations and this was by far the worst experience. I think we will looking for a new brunch location in the future. Really hope you can really accept this feedback and try and make improvements. Maybe having a second food location or limited number of dinners. I know that second option is not favorable, because of lost income for your restaurant.

    Went for Mothers Day brunch and, as expected, it was very crowded. We had a reservation and there was very little wait time. The food was amazing, the service was good, and the staff polite. The buffet line was chaotic and there was no clear path back to the table. I found myself walking between busy servers at the service stations and nearly had hot coffee spilled on me. I wouldn’t have blamed the restaurant as I was clearly in the wrong place, but there was no other way to go. We had an amazing time and will definitely go back, but the logistics and navigation for customers could use some work. Having the servers station right outside of the buffet room is an accident waiting to happen.

    Came here for Sunday brunch and I was not impressed. The selection was very small and it too some time to replenish dishes. Everything I tasted was good but nothing spectacular. This was my first time at the Reston location. I think I’ll stick with the Tysons or DC location next time.

    We went for the first time for Mother’s Day brunch and it was delicious! We have to eat gluten-free and the chef in the buffet area was very knowledgeable and helpful. Our server was incredible and very attentive, he didn’t miss a thing! A few extra delicious items were the brisket, bacon lolli, hash brown scramble and fresh salads.
