Dan was incredible. He was inviting, friendly, and provided the perfect amount of attention and space! His recommendations for food (fried green tomatoes and braised chicken risotto) were on point and the food was delicious. It’s a great atmosphere and cozy environment. Thanks for the great experience, Dan!Nicole & Sue

My first time at this restaurant. As a former Serve Safe manager I was disappointed in my experience. I didn't know whom was our waiter. I received the wrong meal and then had to wait another 20 minutes to get my food which was tasteless. No seasoning. Wait times were too long. Little attention from staff.I spoke to one "manager" of my experience. He apologized but did nothing to compensate the experience. I didn't leave a tip. I won't be recommending this restaurant to others.

Made reservations for Easter 2 weeks in advance. No mention of patio seating on the reservation or confirmation i received. Then got notified via email that we were reconfirmed for patio seating 1 day before reservation. Not sure why we were bumped to patio. Got seated and the service was not great either. No napkins, no silverware (my son finally went and found some as no one was out on the patio to assist), ordered cinnamon rolls and they never came. Thankfully it was a buffet, otherwise not sure how this would have went. The food was good, but cold as it was about 58 degrees and no sun on the patio. Looked like a nice place, but not the best first experience you want at a restaurant in this price point.

We went for Easter Brunch but it’s worth mentioning that they have the same brunch every Sunday. We had a reservation (essential for holidays) and were seated within 5 minutes of checking in. The waiter poured water, left a bottle of water for the table, took drink orders and explained the buffet system as soon as we were seated. We all ordered speciality coffees but the cocktail menu was very tempting. Prices for both are roughly the same as elsewhere in the area.The buffet line was long but moved quickly. The food is simply excellent. Standouts were the pancakes with bananas foster topping, the crispy juicy fried chicken, the candied bacon skewers, the perfectly crispy hash browns and the ham. Dessert favorites were the freshly made mini donuts and the array of cookies. It’s all you can eat, but with the line we noticed quite a few people filling up 2 plates at once to save lining up again.It’s a very large space with high ceilings and plenty of seating. Cute fantasy farm theme with laundry on a line, a giant pink gopher (we think), walls of sculptural flowers and butterflies. There’s also a large outdoor patio with even more seating and a long bar area separated from the dining area by a partition.Waitstaff were very friendly and our waiter checked up on us several times, bringing fresh water and condiments.This is definitely one of the best values locally as far as brunch buffets go.There is valet parking (pull up to the airstream trailer that’s the valet stand). There is also garage parking, 3 hours free for diners. Don’t forget to get your ticket validated. Same parking garage as for the Metro.Overall great experience. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience. Stanley was our server and he was very accommodating! We had our infant with us and he was super helpful with managing the amount of stuff we had on the table. If you have a kid you get it.Kid-friendliness: Very helpful if you have a kiddo with you.

I want to say the biggest thank you for going above and beyond tonight! My son saw his Easter coloring book in my trunk so we let him bring it into dinner but had no crayons with us. Our waiter Charles gifted us some that he or someone on his team walked over to CVS and bought after noticing we were without. It was such a kind gesture. And not to mention, all the food was delicious too!! Thanks for a wonderful dining experience all around

Another wonderful dining experience at Founding Farmers. Our server, Jose, was exceptional and made our dining experience so memorable that we will return! He asked about food allergies and preferences, made great app and entree recommendations and was very attentive without being too much. We each really enjoyed our food- fried green tomatoes are always terrific, our salads (steak, tuna poke) and eggplant parm were good. Thanks Jose and Founding Farmers team, for a wonderful dining experience!
