I been at this location too many times, yesterday was the worst experience I had with my family. I been there with friends and I told my husband that I was going to take him and the kids to a really nice location in Tyson’s but everything was ruined by the hostess followed by the waitress. The hostess was very rude when we walked in 10 minutes prior our reservation she said “ your table is ready but can’t seat you until 1:45” that was the reservation time. It was 1:56 and we weren’t seated not sure why but when I asked she was very rude. Our waitress Ashley never came to offer refills for our drinks even that she new we had three kids in our party. She didn’t even had to take an order since we were doing brunch all she had to do was to make sure we had drinks and didn’t even do that. It was the worst experience ever.

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at Founding Farmers. The worst part about the experience was how incredibly rude our waiter was to us. He didn’t come check on us at all and he made my friend feel bad for asking for honey for her tea. He told her that she should have asked for the honey when she ordered the tea because now he would have to walk all the way down to the kitchen to get it for her and that it’s going to take a while. Then proceeded to just stare at us. It really upset us and ruined our entire experience. He walked by our table many times but never cleared the plates sitting at our small table. We didn’t deserve the attitude.

Variety of food from breakfast, lunch and dinner options. All the meats very good but the brisket was amazing. The melons were fresh. The chocolate chip cookies and biscuits were very hard as a rock, very disappointing. For the cost of brunch a beverage should be included.

We had a fantastic time. Everything was on point. From the moment we arrived to the end everyone did a perfect job. Our server was amazing and somehow could remember everything including with three toddlers jumping around. The big round booth was great to keep the kids corralled! The food was delicious. I’m impressed with the ability to deliver great service and accommodate a 10 person family.

We made reservations for a Saturday brunch. I was told you can order a la carte but that is not the case. The brunch buffet is not great, dirty, and messy. Service on the weekends are always horrible! The front of the house and hostess stand are always rude. The noise is so loud and the check-in and seating process is the wild Wild West. It doesn’t matter if you have reservations. Plan to wait at least 30-45 mins even if you have reservations. This is the second time this happened to us.

I’ve always loved Founding Farmers but I won’t go back to the Tyson’s location. I made a reservation for 7:45 pm and wasn’t seated until 8:30. They were clearly overwhelmed. They need more staff and they need to manage their reservations better. On a high note, our server was great and attentive and doing the best she could under the circumstances.

I made a dinner reservation here to celebrate my birthday. Our service was terrible and the main entrees lacked flavor. We asked for our wing app to be extra crispy and we didn’t realize it would be such an earth shattering request. We also asked what they had for children, as we had a toddler with us. The server seemed annoyed and claimed he needed to ask the chef about the wings and then we had a female staff member come to the table to ask us about our request. It was absurd that a simple request like that required us to explain what we meant to multiple people. We ended up getting the crab and artichoke dip. It was ok and it had a lot of onions in it. We also requested a high chair for the 2 year old and never got that. Our entrees came out and my plate was hotter than my food. The fried chicken breading was oily and soggy. The Mac and cheese needed some salt or something to add flavor. The biscuit was extremely hard and dry. My husband ordered a side of Brussel sprouts and it’s like they gave him what was at the bottom of the bag. He received crispy leaves and one solid Brussel sprout. Our server was extremely awkward. My birthday was never acknowledged by the staff. I wasn’t expecting fireworks or anything crazy but it was the reason we went out to dinner. All in all, we were extremely disappointed in the service and food. Especially because this location is so highly rated.

Overall the selection for the buffet was good, but the food was not very appealing: the green beans were overcooked, there was a lot of fried chicken (rather than other cooked methods), the food seemed a bit gloppy with lots of heavy cheeses, the bacon on a toothpick was flavored with an over sweetened sauce, and the eggs benedict - usually my favorite - the eggs were overcooked and not runny. Overall very disappointing

The server was not nice, he did not explain anything since it was our first time to have a brunch there. I ordered hot water, he brought orange juice and it was charged, I thought it was included. He did not say anything while we were eating and he just took empty plates away. The food was ok, nothing special. I think Georgetown place is much better than Tysons. It was too expensive, we paid almost $190 for 4 people including food, tax, 5%tax and tip. It was to celebrate for my sister and sister in law's birthday, but they did not say anything and not even a piece of cake.

Our food was good here, but the service wasn’t great at all. Our waiter got simple requests wrong multiple times and the host was less than friendly when we checked in.

It was loud, the food was not as good as it has been in the past. Butternut squash risotto not very good. Scallops though were great.
Founding Farmers - TysonsResponded on January 21, 2023Thank you for the review. I'm terribly sorry to read that your entrees were disappointing, and the music was loud. It seems that we dropped the ball when you dined in, and I would love to speak to you more to turn this experience around. Please email me: Hospitality@FRG.Farm with a copy of your review, date dined and location. Thank you for alerting us to this and hopefully giving us a chance to connect and make this right. -Jessica

This place was fantastic. The menu was eclectic and the food was done perfectly. Do NOT miss the biscuits with butter and jam! For dinner, I chose the short rib and my friends and I loved it so much! We were lucky to have gone during restaurant week so we tried SO many things!! We don’t live close, but will definitely be heading back there soon!
Founding Farmers - TysonsResponded on January 21, 2023Thank you so much for your glowing review! I am happy to hear your recent visit was so enjoyable and you will be back soon! I look forward to seeing you again! -Jessica

We went for restaurant week and had a great time. The food was tasty, the portions were much bigger than we expected, and Joe (hope I got that right) our server was both knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor.
Founding Farmers - TysonsResponded on January 20, 2023Thank you so much, Mike! We are thrilled you gave us a try and we look forward to having you back! -Tiffany

Have dined here a few times and wasn’t disappointed this time either. Like the variety of the menu and the friendliness and can-do attitude of staff. Food was tasty and portion size decent. Was surprised that they had run out of vanilla ice cream so changed my dessert to bread pudding which I found too dry and not pleasing to the eye!
Founding Farmers - TysonsResponded on January 20, 2023Thank you so much for dining with us. We appreciate your review. Though the bread pudding was not to standard this time, I am thrilled you had another great visit. We look forward to having you back! -Tiffany

We made reservations for lunch at 1:15 pm when we were seated they told us they were still serving brunch which we did not want. We waited until the kitchen opened for lunch service and ordered pastrami sandwiches. Worst sandwich I’ve ever had! Won’t be returning!

Came in for brunch. It was decent for the price. But the macaroni and cheese was awful — the pasta was super chewy and had a weird texture; it also lacked flavor. And there were hardly any desserts. No donuts, cinnamon rolls, or caramel corn, which are typically staples. None of the staff seemed to care or offer any solutions. The drinks were good and strong. The service wasn’t great. We waited a good 20 minutes for the server to bring the check.
