Founding Farmers MoCo Reviews

Love FF. Love the wait staff. Love the food! If you can manage to get in here, you will most likely have a good experience. Recently, I tried to make a reservation for my family for brunch. Coming from a large family, this was a large reservation. 12 adults and 6 children. Here were the options presented to me: A) Gauranteed $100 minimum per person (adults and children) which does not include tax or gratuity. So, most likely a total of around $2300 for 12 adults and 6 children....for brunch. B) My party could be split into two tables that would not be seated next to each other due to the "floor layout and volume of the restaurant". Since my family rarely gets everyone together like this, not a good option for us. C) Come in for brunch Monday - Thursday. So...when we're all working. Since no options presented made sense for our party, we will be going elsewhere.

Very good place for food, bottomless mimosas on saturdays are the best

Kind of a weird location, also the food for some reason didn't seem as good as the one on either Tysons or DC, which are our usual FF haunts. Both my wife and I had some upset stomachs afterwards, they may have been a bit heavy handed with the butter/oil haha.

Our food was delicious , good service, atmosphere was energized . There is a beautiful area outside with a fountain and a fire pit

Neat little spot, kind of hidden but a lot of folks know about it. Wish MoCo had more restaurants like this!

Obsessed with this place! Everything on their menu is exciting, fresh, innovative! The drinks are beyond phenomenal! You will not be disappointed.

Good farm to table joint, but it's losing the premise of farm to table by doing things like serving South American fish.

The food was amazing, the customer service was exceptional, and friendly! It stays packed so make a reservation.

Tasty food. Fairly large servings. Attentive wait staff.

We weren't served because we didn't know to make a reservation to sit outside

The lunch was very good, and I order the chicken pot pie and my son ordered the sampler. One minor thing the warm peanut butter cookies for desert were a bit to dry.

Wonderful customer service and the food was excellent

Make a reservation and then go enjoy it, a wide fun menu and good service

Great place to bring the family . The chicken and waffles was amazing. The service was spot on .

The food was fantastic, the service wasn't great. We went for brunch, ordered 2 coffees and an espresso and an order of beignets before we ordered main dishes. The espresso and beignets came AFTER our main dished, with barely an apology from the server. Buttered toast was not buttered, and we had to request butter and coffee refills.

I have been here several times and this time was very disappointing. Service was fair at best. Drinks were slow. Apps came fast. Dinner was barely hot. I am chalking this night up to being short staffed.... maybe

Great food with extensive menu. Nice local beverage options

Food and service were excellent! My favorite restaurant in potomac!

Had brunch here for a friend's birthday. It was pretty busy. I thought the food was good and I ended up leaving with leftovers. We had a party of 6 and we were able to split the bill. There's garage parking available

Relaxed but professional atmosphere. Food was excellent. Every dish in our party looked inviting. Beer cocktails were also well done. Prices and service were reasonable and pleasant. Recommended.

Decided to go on a very cold and windy Saturday morning at 9am. They are not seating anyone inside yet (pandemic related) but they do have outside seating under a heated tent. Staff was friendly, and waiter was great. Asked for coffee Uncle Buck's beignets and they were fresh and delicious. Chicken and waffles were cooked to perfection. The chicken was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The gravy that comes with the dish is delicious. Great experience, it was cold, but they did their best to keep everyone warm. Each table had their own propane heater. Everyone leading up to the manager was friendly. Cheers to the staff... Stay safe and thanks for trying your best through these difficult times.

Excellent mocha. Unusally good pancakes. Fairly good egg benedict. Busy but lively place with good food. Priced appropriately.

In my experience, I don't think I've ever had anything bad from here. My last trip was with family and I had the chicken fried steak. Some may have thought it was a bit salty, but I loved it. It came with mac and cheese and green beans, which were both tasty as well.

The food was to die for and the service was exceptional. Everything that I ordered was so delicious, This restaurant has made it to the top of my list!!!!

The service was great! They took good care of me! I only wish they had a Brunch Buffet and a Happy Hour like the location in Reston. Either way the food especially the glazed bacon was incredible.

Great menu & terrific presentation of very flavor filled dishes. Great service as well.

Unfortunately this will have to be a 1 star review. I have had many meals here for both dine in and take out, each time with hope for a better experience but once again I have been let down. The service here and quality of food are both just bad and need work , I used to have the luxury of going to founding farmers in Washington DC which is the first founding farmers I ve ever had and are much better then MOCOS

Loved it truly a great place to eat the beef was amazing and the five cheese mac was delicious my wife loved the strawberry cocktail, and dates wrapped with bacon were great in any case I could go on and on but service was good and food was good definitely recommended.

nice and relax atmosphere, service was great and friendly. portions are a good size for the price. the chicken on the chicken and waffle lunch had way to much breading. i gave the other away. but the flavor was good. my friends said the drinks were good. but again very pricey. Good experience.

Ok food, so-so value, poor presentation. Not good for conversation, very loud

great chill place, food is always amazing, server was awesome.

What a foodie heaven, from the hand-crafted cocktails, teas, and sodas to the scratch made desserts (the apple pie is enough for a family of four to share and the short bread cookies are perfection!), and everything in between. The 7 cheese macaroni is super creamy and cheesy without being dense. The fried chicken (with the waffles and chicken ) is tender, juicy, and crunchy - the epitome of what fries chicken should be. The pot roast is fork tender and beefy. Go!!! Do not pass go! Do not collect $200. And if you are lucky enough, you ll get Nick as your server. He was patient and attentive to our party of 7, answering our questions and making recommendations when we were stuck on what to order and was spot on with them. We can t wait to go back!

A lot of buzz surrounds this restaurant because of it's business model. Every single thing is made from scratch on the premises. My issue was that they try too hard to make the food look exotic, with uncommon ingredients, that it wasn't that tasty. It's a bit far from where I live, and it wouldn't be somewhere I'd go again. My teens would have no idea what to order. If your sophisticated and adventurous, give it a try.

Cockroaches walking around next to you as you eat. I'm all about farm to fork, but leave the bugs at the farm please. Gross.

Robust menu with interesting variations on typical fare. Fresh ingredients and a creative cocktail selection to compliment. Can get crowded so call ahead or reserve online.

This was my first time eating here. We came in on a Sunday for brunch. Sat outside bc the inside was full. Waiter was super nice and helpful. He answered all of our questions. I ordered eggs, bacon, salad, and impossible burger. Omg it was all vegan burger made out of plants. But I could not tell the difference!!! It was that good!!! Would definitely recommend and will go back!

A wide range of items to choose from on their menus that it is hard to decide. Not to worry though., I can guarantee whatever you order will be delicious, the food is truly top-notch. Plus, I can't say enough about the service the staff is pleasant and seems to go the extra mile to provide great service.

Overpriced and over hyped. Not as good as everybody says.

Tonight s dinner was so amazing. The food was on point and Ruby was an amazing server. She had a great personality and conversation. I hope the next time I dine here, she s my waitress. Love this place. Can t wait to come again

Everything was delicious. I loved the spicy corn crabcake dip.

It wasnt too great for the cost but i really enjoyed my time there

We had a great dinner, table of 8, absolutely no issues. The food was all really well done, the steak and enchilada was a group favorite. As for dessert we loved the beignets, it was a large portion which was great for sharing. They only thing I thought was weird, was that they don't have an actual kids menu, they just list what they can point together for a kid... Seems like it would be easier to print it.

Customer service was excellent. Friendly staff. Very attentive

I ordered fried green tomatoes and my wife ordered catfish and potato latke. They all were awful! I tried the same exact items at DC location and they were so different! How come a receipt can differ a lot from one location to the other?

My wife and I were taken to Founding Farmers this past Spring by a friend while visiting them and trying to catch the Cherry blossoms. This place was our friend's favorite restaurant, so we had high hopes and we weren't disappointed. While the food was amazing (more on that later), and the atmosphere was fun, the thing the really stood out was the service.

After coming in from the cold, I put my soft leather jacket on the back of my chair, which that turned out to be a poor decision since a server accidentally spilled ketchup all over the back of it, unbeknownst to me. That's why it was such a delightful surprise when the manager of the store personally came to the table to point out what had happened and made a generous offer to compensate for the mistake. They didn't try to hide it and hope I didn't notice and they didn't blame me for putting my jacket on the back of the chair. I was so impressed with the integrity and hospitality that I don't even mind that the stain never really came out. Accidents happen, but how a company responds to them is often when they have a chance to shine, and this place did.

Regarding the food, we tried a bit of everything and didn't find a single sour note. The Bacon Lollis were amazing (how can you go wrong with bacon on a stick?) and the Fried Green Tomatoes rounded out our delightful first course. For the entree, I wanted to sample a variety of things, so I went with the Chili Dog, Crab Roll (which was real crab!), and Pastrami Roll. They were all scrumptious. And for dessert, we had a seasonal ice cream with cherries dish that I ate until my stomach hurt.

Great food, great service. I'm a fan.

Love the atmosphere. The staff is very friendly. I really like the menu selection.

One of my favorite breakfast places in the area. Great food and ambiance. Good coffee.

For me this place is the country and casual Clyde's. Very consistent food with somewhat high price tag. Excellent bar tenders and go for the chocolate mousse dessert. You won't regret it.

Great restaurant with awesome atmosphere. Brunch menu is impressive. Very nice and convenient location

Ordered the Southern fried chicken family meal, garlic wings, and carrot cake through Doordash. It was delicious.....but the collard greens were gritty like they failed to thoroughly wash them and there was a piece of barcode paper in them also :/ Their carrot cake is the best I have EVER had!

Best cornbread ever! 2nd best chicken pot pie ever. Chicken/waffles and Ribeye great too. I've tried other things from the menu and everything has impressed. Honestly, this place is just great all the way around.

Great food. Always mixing it up with the menu. Got the $11 breakfast with eggs, impossible vegan burger, hash browns & grits! Uh, yum!

One of my favorite places. Service is always great and food I'd yummy!

The type of restaurant that makes sure to do the things right: homemade with fresh and good ingredients all the time.

Had rare prime rib for Christmas lunch. Usually prime rib is not available until 4 pm, Christmas was an exception.

Breakfast ordered from GrubHub. One poached egg over cooked. Hollandaise sauce looked liked paste with oil after rewarming. No utensils or napkins. No butter or jam for the english muffin. Food was mediocre.

I thought this was an excellent restaurant. I am visiting from Pittsburgh, a place were we also have excellent restaurants band I ranks this one in that category. I will definitely eat there again and recommend this restaurant to other members of my family.

Super busy! Excellent food and service! We were surprised to get a reservation for 5x, on a Sat., late morning.

The impossible burger is truly impossible. I mean..... it defies taste buds. I was convinced I was duped and served actual meat it was that close to the real thing. The biscuits and fish here are outrageous
