Overcrowded and brunch buffet in a disarray. Waited 30 minutes past reservation. Long walk to the buffet and then long wait in buffet line. Another line for meat and when I arrived no meat to be had. Our friend wanted a donut for dessert and none left. Spend your thirty dollars per person somewhere else.

Was at the Ritz-Carlton for a meeting and a large group of us went to Founding Farmers for dinner. It was excellent. Nice beer selection, good food (I had the trout) and good service. Had very diverse menu that would be pleasing for vegans, vegetarians, and carnivores.

The food at Founding Farmers was excellent. I went with my boyfriend and our friends and we all enjoyed it. The fried chicken was tasty and it was a great deal. The pasta was good as well, you could tell it was homemade. I would definitely go back.

We all thought the service was lacking. From the hostess who didn't look up at us while we waited to the inattentive waiter. The buffet had empty trays every time we looked in both lines. I don't understand how a buffet can be so poorly stocked on both sides at the same time. There were no grits or salmon at the end table and nobody really cared. The food was average and for $32/person that is a crime. Would have been much better at Virginia Kitchen for less money and better food. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting which is the biggest crime.

Dear Scott,

Thank you for taking the time to write and review our restaurant. I am DEEPLY sorry to read about your recent disappointing trip to Founding Farmers Tysons. I have followed up with our general manager who has also extended her sincerest apologies. I would really appreciate knowing more about your visit, as it sounds like we failed you on multiple fronts. I can assure you that what you described, from the sub-*par food, to the dismissive service, does not match our standards of to and I am eager to get to the bottom of what went wrong IMMEDIATELY.

To that, would you mind providing me with the date, name, time of your reservation? And the name/ a description of your server? It would also be helpful for me to know the name or have a description of the managers who you spoke to.

I look forward to hearing from you and developing an immediate solution! You can reach me via email at Julie@farmersrestaurantgroup.com We let you down, and we want to make it up to you. I hope we can win you back, and in the mean time make sustainable improvements.

With sincerest apologies,

Julie
