Founding Farmers Alexandria

Had an incredible experience here! The food was absolutely fantastic — everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The service was just as impressive. Cole was our server and he was amazing — super kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. You can tell he really cares about his guests. Highly recommend this place and definitely ask for Cole if you can!

The server was very rude non responsive, the Food was horrible dry chicken. Tasteless brisket, not sure if it was even brisket more like rubbery not sure what, the ribs were Horrid, the greens cabbage were even worst sent them back, but we did eat them due to fear if the waitress having harmed them, we payed for the meal, not wanting to make a secene, but I will never return, and will encourage who will listen not to go, again we should not have paid, but the adage, that people of color complain, and do tip or pay, was a driving factor, but again, we tipped the server, with her rewarding my daughter and I with scowl, again take this as need to do better, without a preconceived notion by that HORRIBLE SERVER AND EXTREMELY POOR FOOD.

Love the decor! It’s a beautiful space and a great location for a “Birthday Brunch,” which happened to be taking place during our Sunday visit. The food arrived a bit cold, and the eggs were slightly overcooked (almost burnt), but that seemed like an easy fix.

The bakery section was a highlight, and the chef was very friendly! Service was great that day, though the food missed the mark on two occasions.

Since it’s right outside my home, I decided to give it another try for lunch later that week. Unfortunately, service was lacking — lots of staff meetings happening while the kitchen seemed to be struggling. Several items came out overcooked, incorrect, or quite delayed.

I may give it one more try since it’s so close, especially because I’ve always enjoyed their brunches in D.C.

The food was okay, I’m a southern girl and their grits are more like polenta. Our server Asia was amazing. We had a group of 12 for a family gathering and she was attentive and our food came on time and she checked on us often. She made it a great experience.

Food was not hot. Tasted fine but seemed like it was sitting for a while before the server brought it to us. The restaurant was NOT busy at all on a Monday night. I've had better experiences at the other locations (DC). Server took a long time to come back and check on us.

The only reason I am not a 5 is the prices are high for the area and we waited even though it was pretty empty. Food is good but not equivalent to the price. Staff was very nice.

We were celebrating my dear friend's birthday and enjoyed an amazing lunch at Founding Farmers. Our food was absolutely delicious and our waitress, Chelsea, was AMAZING! She was patient, professional and knowledgeable with our food questions. We'll be back! Love this restaurant so much!
