   I found the quality of the food and preparation to be good, just average. I don't think that I would return in the future. Minor issue with a substitution made without prior notice as part of my order. Not sure it would have made me change my order but it would have been good to have been told.

   Founding Farmers - RestonResponded 1 day agoThank you for your review, Russ. I am terribly sorry that our team failed to inform you of the changes to your order, and for that I am truly sorry. It is very unfortunate that you left disappointed. I sincerely hope you will reconsider our location in the future. I am confident that we can provide a better and enjoyable dining experience for you. Thank you. -Najjah

   Most all of the food at the buffet was room temperature. The bacon was coated with room temperature grease. If the food was hot, or at least warm, the quality would have been much better. The service and coffee/ hot chocolate was outstanding. Will likely return for regular menu but not sure if I’d repeat Sunday Brunch.

   We really like Founding Farmers. But this time my cream of mushroom soup was served weak and cold. We told the waiter and he got me a fresh bowl of rich and hot soup. My turkey dinner was good, but the gravy was excessively salty.

   Took my two boys for the Sunday brunch. The food was all dry, ham, French toast, pancakes, eggs, beef. All was dry. An employee brought of some of their new batch, but we had to stay 30-1hr later just to get a fresh, non-dry serving. This is the second time and I’ve had the same experience. Sticking to weekday breakfast and their amazing cocktails.

   Founding Farmers - RestonResponded 7 days agoThank you for your review, Alberto.

   Scheduled brunch to celebrate my birthday with my family. The buffet was great as always, the Reston location is not nearly as busy as Tysons or downtown. The staff is universally friendly, welcoming to children, and explains the menu well.

    Went for restaurant week. Was not promoted well at the restaurant. Our server was pleasant, but service was slow. It was busy, being a Saturday night. The food was good for the most part. My husband disliked his prime rib - way too rare and no steak knife to cut it. My order came out incorrect, but was fixed about halfway through eating. Fried chicken was good, but chicken portion was small. Overall not a good value - was a $100 dinner for okay food. Would not go back anytime soon.

It is very unfortunate that our menu items missed the mark and left you and your husband disappointed in the quality of the food. We appreciate you making us aware of what happened.

    We have been to the other founding farmers in DC and Tysons many times and wanted to try the one in Reston. Service at the Reston restaurant was terrible. The restaurant was only 1/2 full and we were there for 2 hours because the service was so slow. Also the food is not as good as it is at the other locations. We will NEVER go back to this location and may never go back to the others now after this terrible experience.

    The brunch at Founding Farmers has everything. If only all the hot food were hot....I realize that a buffet makes that difficult but it was disappointing. And the quality of the desserts was not up to their usual standard of excellence.

    The positives were that the entrees came out fast and the food was Very good. We had the short rib Ragu, prime rib and scallops (although the risotto was too Al dente). Cornbread very good. Our waiter (Charles I believe) seemed to be overwhelmed. He apologized for not being at the table earlier and one of the appetizers came out at the same time as the entrees so we asked to have it wrapped up. Took awhile for the dessert menu to come and the dessert to be served. Out dirty plates we’re still on the table when the desserts arrived. The banana cream pie is Just ok and the bread pudding was room temperature to Luke warm. Very disappointed with the service time-it was just off kilter the whole meal. We had to ask for to go containers for the desserts, salt and paper, more butter and clean utensils for the dessert-just not anticipatory service. Loved the menu, the ambience of the restaurant and the vibe. Not sure I’d go back though. Thanks

    Everything was great. They do Brunch buffets on Sunday now but i guess because Monday was a holiday they had it on Monday as well. The prices were ok. I never feel like you eat as much as you paid for which is why i prefer al la carte but it was still good. One thing could’ve been a little better was the dessert selection.

    Have always enjoyed the Tyson location. The Reston location was disappointing. I feel that there was less to choose from, and the food was cold. Second visit to this location, and both times the food was not hot.

    The ambience was beautiful and the food was delicious! However, either the server had too many tables to serve or she was new because she rarely checked on us. Also, I mentioned that we were celebrating my wife’s birthday and she didn’t offer anything to celebrate the occasion. To add insult to injury the coffee machine was broken for almost the entire duration of our meal and nothing was offered to compensate us for paying $5 for only one cup of coffee as I would’ve liked to have had at least a few cups for that price. Lastly, I highly recommend First Watch in South Riding instead of this location.

    Founding Farmers - RestonResponded on January 12, 2023Oh no! I am very sorry for the lack of accommodation displayed by our service team.

    Went for the Sunday brunch, which has all the makings of a great meal but misses the mark on just about everything. Everything on the buffet looked and sounds great, but just about everything tasted “off” in some way. The cocktails were TINY for a $14 cocktail, albeit VERY strong. For $50 meal (for one person after buffet, one drink, and one coffee, I would have wanted the food to be pretty great, and it just wasn’t. :-/

    The waiter was great and very attentive. The food was mediocre. So many dishes were half empty, no matter when you went back. Worse, nothing was warm and the egg dishes were congealed. They need chafing dishes that keep things warm. Won’t go back.

    My family and I went to FF/Reston to celebrate my husband’s birthday. While the drinks, appetizers and food were fantastic, the service could use some improvement. Our assigned waitress did ask us twice if our food was ok after the entrees were brought out but she then turned her back to the tables she was assigned to and was talking to a couple who were sitting in a booth against the wall. She stood there conversing with this couple for twenty minutes as we couldn’t get her attention to ask for the final bill and a few boxes. I have waitressed before (in my younger years) and am all about good customer service and being personable but to have your back turned to your assigned area which is completely full and direct your attention to one table only for twenty minutes when the couple was talking about every subject matter except food, is not acceptable.

    Founding Farmers - RestonResponded on January 8, 2023Thank you so much for the review and for sharing your experience. It seems the service this visit missed the mark to say the least.

    We had no idea what we were walking into. I knew it was a buffet, but my friends didn’t know. So much variety! We just loved it. The price was a steal for so much food. I tried so much and still missed a lot. My highlights are hard to choose, but will say the fried chicken, fried shrimp and potato salad. Everything was good. I never had any desserts. I didn’t see anything sugar free, and was too full. We will be back!!

    Overall average experience. The food options were ok, surprised to not see any Vegan option. Though I had mentioned it was my wife’s birthday while making the reservation, didn’t get any special options or treatment (didn’t expect much, but some small gestures go a long way). The server sounded kind of uninterested. I am ok if the order was messed up once, but the service was below par too. The ambience is fantastic. Didn’t try any drinks but the menu and the bar looked nice. Might visit again, but not as my top option in the area.

    We made a reservation for 7:15 but weren’t seated until closer to 7:30. Hostesses we’re neither friendly nor apologetic. Service at the table was terrible. Long waits for everything, server had zero personality, never checked in…we had to hunt him down a couple of times to ask for refills and to check in the status of our meal. One of our 7 diners didn’t get his meal for 10+ minutes after the rest of us which meant our food was not hot by the time his arrived. I’ve been to FF many times and never had such a bad experience. And it wasn’t crowded…no excuses. Will think twice before returning.
