I made reservations here for Mother's Day brunch, not knowing it is buffet-style. But the food was excellent and varied and the service was exceptional. The only downside was the line to the buffet grew pretty long. We'll return on a less-busy day, if such days exist.

Place was nice but went down hill from there. Food and appetizer were not worth price, ie. Devlish eggs 12.50, they had no taste other than a boiled egg, cloth napkin rolled up with my flat wear was dirty, not just stained, the black stuff what ever it was came off on my fingers, so hadn't even been washed. Not even a sorry sir, just 5 min till I got another, never asked if I we wanted refills on wine or my soda. Never offered desert menu and when we asked they said oh they don't close till we all do. Then it was closed, so no desert period. We were so looking forward to this dinner as it was for my sons masters graduation dinner. All 6 of us were just disappointed in food and service.

Mother's Day Brunch buffet was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Line was 10 minutes long to get a plate. The floor was so greasy I slid several times. Food empty at many stations, and just overall not the usual quality. Only dessert was a one inch cheesecake bite. Workers shoving through the crowds dangerously with hot platters. Way overbooked, even bringing out folding tables to seat people. Just completely awful.

I have a story to tell, I was sitting in a booth cowing down on eggs, bacon which was amazing. After awhile my bladder started to tickle so I followed nature's call, to the restroom. As I entered I saw three stalls, I went into the first one, but alas the door was too narrow so the lock wouldn't lock!! So I did the next logical step, went into the second one but the door was too large and wouldn't shut all the way!! So I got up and started to go to the third stall but alas nature's call had to wait another day as the third stall was occupied:( Overall the food and service was AMAZING!!!!!

I actually love Founding Farmers but have been extremely disappointed in the value of food in the last order I received.Pictured is the Many Vegetables salad which is $30 for take out. I figured it would be worth it because it tasted so great when I had it at the AYCE brunch. It is mainly lettuce, small pieces of cabbage, and only a small smattering of vegetables - the added on herb chicken (which was $8.50) is 4 small pieces of chicken from a small cutlet. I also asked for extra dressing and did not receive it. I am extremely disappointed because when I had this salad at the restaurant I fell in love with the quality but honestly this makes me question ever coming back. My husband (Alex, who placed the order) got a tuna steak. He enjoyed it but the grits were sitting out too long and he couldn’t eat them. Will be cautious about spending our money here in the future.

I was really disappointed with our meal at the Tyson’s location. The server stated that the crab cake was over 90 % crabmeat which was just not true. It seemed like at least 30-40% was filler. It was impossible to find a solid piece of crabmeat. The green beans had zero flavor. We were also shocked that Farmers does not offer a non-alcoholic beer option. Virtually every restaurant and bar carries them and they have become so common that you can get a Corona or Budweiser Zero in the grocery store. If these major beer companies are catering to this market, why isn’t Farmer’s?

The restaurant atmosphere was very nice. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We were surprised that there was no defined kids menu. Two of us in our party of nine had the crab cakes, and I was not really pleased with them. I tasted a corn meal like breading holding the crab cakes together. To be fair, I will return for another visit, but I was not overly impressed with my first experience. Others in my party had previously dined there and enjoyed the food.
This is where I go to enjoy creature comfort foods. Enjoy the sliders and most everything that's goes with breakfast and brunch.Came back for more… ordered the ribeye with several glasses of vino and prosciutto with fig jam. So good ?

Had heard good things about this place, all true. It has a clean modern ambience, they easily accommodated our party of 9 people with short notice, amazing! Our server, Sa'id, was gracious and efficient and kept checking back with us often. The food was outstanding, one of our party had been to the restaurant before and had a similar great experience. Prices for the area are reasonable considering the excellent quality of the food.Parking: Attached Tyson's parking facility is not free, but the restaurant will comp the parking ticket if you eat there.
A new but very pleasant server. Several hiccups and delays in getting the order correct and knowing details about the dish and ingredients. I discovered later that i have been charged twice for a single, salad. we ordered one black kale salad not two. And this was a birthday lunch, the half slice of cake with a candle - is there a charge for that too?
