    Our experience was far from desired and different from other Founding Farmers locations. When we were seated, we waited 10 minutes to be greeted by a service and then it was a quick “hi, I’ll be back in a few minutes.” We had no water offered and when we asked for water we were told they can only bring water upon request and someone had been reprimanded for bringing water without being asked. We had no flatware/napkins or plates for our appetizer. When the cornbread came out it was missing a serving spatula and butter. We waited 10-15 minutes after our apps to have our main course delivered and when it was, it was clear it had been sitting under a warmer for far too long — the breading on the fish fry was soggy. Our hot chocolate was lukewarm and lacked any sort of good presentation - it was spilled all over the cup dish. Overall, this was a poor experience and unlike visits to other locations. I would avoid this location.

    The food replenishment was sub par. Seemed understaffed fora Sunday Brunch before Christmas. Food areas remained empty and picked over. When refills were delivered they quickly disappeared. We dine often and bring friends to introduce the experience. This time was somewhat embarrassing and disappointing. Thank you.

    Great fare - tasty and something for everyone, just a bit over-priced. Servers and bartender were wonderful, only the hostess was less than helpful... Would definitely recommend for breakfast or lunch meetings in the Tysons area.

    Inexplicably not a single holiday decoration and we went there for a holiday lunch. The menus and table were both sticky and not clean. Sever unfriendly. The fried food looked fine, but the tuna poke bowl was literally a bowl of cabbage with maybe 1/3 cup of tuna. Live nearby so have been here a number of times. It's gone way downhill, which is a shame.

    We dined here today and had a mixed experience. Our server, Whitney, was absolutely amazing, so kind, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. However, the food fell short this time. It lacked the usual freshness and seasoning we’ve come to expect. While the service was outstanding, the quality of the food today was disappointing. Hopefully, this was just an off day for the kitchen.
    Founding Farmers VA: TysonsResponded on 15 December 2024
    Thank you for your honest feedback, Kimberly. We're delighted to hear that Whitney provided such exceptional service! We're sorry to learn that the food didn’t meet expectations this time. We appreciate your understanding and will share your comments with our kitchen team to ensure we’re delivering the quality you’ve come to expect. We hope to make your next visit a perfect one! -Kerry
