    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 6 days ago
    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

    Food always tastes great! The derver at the padtires stand was sooooo nice. We had a sick baby, and she helped! For those in our party who ordered fried dishes (seafood platter and fried chicken), it was a little over fried. The chicken usually comes with a breast and a thigh. We only received thighs. The risotto was great! The kids loved the fries. The margarita was DELICIOUS!
    Founding Farmers VA: TysonsResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you for your kind words, Shakita! We are glad you enjoyed the food, especially the risotto and margarita, and that our pastries server was able to assist during a tough moment. We apologize for the over-fried dishes and mix-up with the chicken. We’ll share this feedback with our team to ensure we get it right next time. We hope to see you again soon! -Kerry

    Not sure what the hype is on this place. Liquid eggs and flavorless bacon are def not my style. Tried the french toast and it was raw inside. I at least went back for seconds for another try but my husband had 2 bites off his first plate and was too disgusted to go any further. Coffee was also cold, even after a refill. Would never recommend and will not be going back. Service was just ok. The waitress acknowledge my husband not eating and just said sorry…did not attempt to try and fix anything.

    The food at the Buffet was cold/luke warm. There appeared to be no burners to keep the plates warm. One of the items that you had to order from the kitchen i was told would not be available for quite sometime even though they were already opened for over 1 hr when i arrived. The desserts were so-so and either overly sweet or lacked flavor. I use to love this place for brunch but now I'm not sure if its worth the price and commute.
