    Let me first say that we went for the Christmas day buffet, so this may not be applicable to their daily menu, service, and ambience. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre, they ran out of an item that my daughter was very much looking forward to eating, and the service was confrontational. The waiter argued with my husband regarding a drink order he placed. Maybe I will go back when there isn’t a holiday rush.

    It was wonderful. The atmosphere was steller, service was great. Food was good but cool. We had a buffet. The food all could have been hotter. They needed more fire under the meat and veggies.

    I was very disappointed, the food was only mediocre and it was so crowded! Our server was excellent! I ordered a lemon drop martini and it was so sour I couldn’t finish it. The best item was the prime rib nice and rare.

    Had reservations for 4 o’clock did not get seated until four 4445, most items on the buffet if they were filled, we’re not really hot and it took a while for them to replenish the missing items. Some of the items listed on the buffet menu were never out our server was wonderful and kept stopping by the table to check on us believe they just need the fine tune the flow of food to the buffet and find a better way to keep the food hot.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Alan. We’re glad to hear your server provided excellent service! We apologize for the delay in seating and the food temperature issues, and we appreciate your patience. We’ll work on improving the flow and keeping the food at the right temperature for a better experience next time. We hope to welcome you back soon! -Najjah

    Went for their Christmas day buffet. This was my first year going to this location. I went to Georgetown and another DC location the other years. The Tysons Corner location is soooo much better. Not too crowded and the buffet line was moderate. I was able to easily get seconds.

    This is our 2nd year trying the Christmas Buffet..all I can say is "we are another a happy couple (my husband and me). " Founding Farmers did not disappoint. The food is outstanding!!! Over 50 options to choose from. My one suggestions is make available "well done" red meat options. Everyone does not like to see blood draining from their food.

    Thank you for your kind words and for returning to our Christmas Buffet, Sheela! We are glad to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the food. We appreciate your suggestion and will definitely take it into consideration. We look forward to welcoming you back next year! -Najjah

    The service was great. Although very crowded the staff did a great job of getting everyone to their tables or handling order pickup’s etc. The food I would rate as follows: Salads and desserts - Amazing. My turkey was dry and so was the fried chicken. The ham was good. The sides would have been better but tended to be overcooked- most likely from trying to keep them hot. I believe a normal buffet would have been a better experience but the Christmas buffet draws so many people I’m sure it was difficult to keep the food hot yet keep it from drying out. I will visit the restaurant again but not at Christmas.
    Founding Farmers VA: TysonsResponded today
    Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, Orlando! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the salads and desserts and that our staff did a great job. We sincerely apologize for the issues with the turkey, fried chicken, and sides. We’ll definitely take your comments into account to improve the experience for future events. We’d love to welcome you back outside of the holiday season for a more relaxed visit! -Najjah
