    Just a wonderful experience. Although it was crowded, we were seated at the appointed time and our server was excellent.

    The Christmas buffet was overpriced for the quality of food. I enjoy brunches often but this place will not be on repeat. The quality and variety of food I’ve had other other places is much better. This should have been $30 and that’s with a drink. I was hoping for better but now I know. Thumbs down.

    I have been to this founding farmers several times. It seems the food is not as good each time and food presentation is sloppy and food not very good. Also when ordering 35 dollar plates lack of enough food.

    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.
