Food was good, service was even better, Maryory was our waitress and she was great !!!

This has been my go-to place lately. The atmosphere is great, all the servers are great and the bartenders are Amazing! John R is an outstanding bartender who knows his craft, is very nice and really just enjoyable to talk to and be around. He takes the time to ask how you're doing, and he'll remember your name after your first visit. The bar has a wonderful selection of drinks, and they're all different and interesting. Most are not just standard classic drinks, but rather ones that feature a spin on such drinks. For example, they don't just serve an old fashioned, because everyone's had one, but they have a coconut old fashioned that is unique and I'd definitely recommend that one. Their food a little pricier than other options around, but it is very good. You can tell the their food is made from scratch, and the quality of ingredients is very apparent, and for that, I do pay their prices. Their coffee and pastries are amazing, sometimes I just go for a little morning coffee and donut break. Try their Jefferson donuts, simply amazing. If you're in the area, this is a great place to stop by, no matter time of day. Grab coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner or happy hour, you won't be disappointed. read more

Founding Farmers Reston Station - Cheers! Bellini style! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Very clearly the best Easter brunch in the whole area! Our server, Luke, took great care of us. Never let any of our drinks go empty! My only frustration is I got too full to keep going back. If you haven't tried their brunch buffet before, I strongly recommend it. read more

We had a wonderful experience last night at Founding Farmers at Reston Station. We were greeted warmly when we arrived for our dinner reservation and were seated promptly. The dining room was eclectic, beautiful and comfortable, and the servers were attentive and friendly. Food was delicious. I ordered the Classic Chicken Milanese. The cucumber lemon vinaigrette gave the chicken cutlets amazing flavor. The arugula salad was a perfect accompaniment. I would absolutely recommend it. My wife ordered the Hot Honey Fried Chicken, and she said she enjoyed her meal as well. (The grits were not quite warm enough, though.) This is the second time we've been to Founding Farmers, we we enjoyed it both times. Will definitely be back. P.S. They validate for parking, too. read more

Hadn't been to an FF in years. My wife wanted to go here, so here we are! Place is decorated well. Feeling Vegas vibe. Decided on a breakfast cocktail and ordered chicken apple sausage. My wife ordered the peanut butter banana toast. My food was good, though the eggs were not easy over as ordered. My wife expected that her dish would be more of a French toast vs. just toast. Told server her brought her a sampling of the FT from the buffet. She didn't like it. Server was great and they do military discounts. read more

Hubby and I dined here for breakfast and our experience was pleasant. The food was delicious. Our palettes were pleased by the scrambled eggs and French toast. My fruit bowl was fresh and sweet. Our server accommodated us very well as we came after breakfast serving time. They were gracious and still prepared this lovely meal. The atmosphere was quiet as we we were the only ones there at the time. read more

Had a great time having beers and apps here. There is a really good tap list. We had fried green tomatoes, wings and hummus. The hummus was the standout. Have to give a shout out to Gomez our waiter. He was phenomenal. read more

Founding farmers has a good brunch buffet option with a good variety of breakfast and non-breakfast options. Their French toast cubes are stand out with the banana foster! Make sure to set aside space on your plate for some! The spicy fried chicken is nice and crispy, I also recommend the sliced beef, and there is a good spread of "appetizers" including tuna wonton cups and (surprisingly) good guacamole. Make sure to save some room for dessert too because the key lime pie cubes and snickerdoodle cookies were really good! read more

Luke was attentive and friendly. The buffet was delicious. And parking was easy and they wallet too. The ambiance was comfy in a booth.

Shoutout to Gomez for their amazing service today!! Even on thanksgiving, they were smiling and super kind. Attentive service and quick to get out the separate courses for thanksgiving! Last year was a little slow but it looks like they made some changes. Food was delicious and I loved that we could still order a coffee and a cocktail off the regular menu. I got the turkey, while hubby got the fried chicken as our main courses. I was super full and they kindly got me boxes. I had the refreshing apple cider sorbet & hubby got apple pie. This is our go to thanksgiving spot now! Beautiful ambiance and setting as well. I love all the things you can look at while you're eating. read more

I liked the place a lot. We had a brunch at 11:00 am, 4 people. The food was great, I got just a regular coffee and Apple Pie (goes with the scoop of ice cream). I also like their rustic vibe. Great place for a business lunch and dinner. read more

Such BEAUTIFUL interior design!!! The ambiance is unmatched. It feels like home or camp. The server was wonderful. The ceviche isn't great to ceviche lovers, but it's tasty for beginner palate. The cornbread wasn't my type; it has a lot of corn kernels and it's moist more than I prefer for cornbread but it tastes good. The chicken dish here was BOMB! So delicious with the honey thyme sauce. The meat platter was apparently NOT FLAVORFUL so a big disappointment. Overall, love the concept of the restaurant and its fresh farm ingredients. In the Google plaza...inspirational. Free parking garage. Go, enjoy! read more

Came here for a late lunch today. The restaurant is spacious and beautiful, with an industrial-chic aesthetic. Margarita 2019 - though mostly ice, it was tart and refreshing. Coconut Old Fashioned - boozy but offered no complexity. Ahi Tuna bites - flavorful and delicious. Devilish eggs - I don't know who came up with this recipe but they should walk the plank. No. Absolutely not. The yolk portion seemed to consist of chopped up egg whites and mustard. Crab Cobb - now This was a tasty dish. My bartender, Aidan, couldn't have been better. read more

So all I wanted for Father's Day was a good, loaded, succulent dish of hot bread pudding. The best I've had is in the heart of DC, which I was not making the 100 minute drive for (I really would have but my kids wouldn't enjoy the car ride). All the places around us serve cold bread pudding. And for some reason, almost every restaurant in northern VA serves the same, or similar, white chocolate bread pudding. I wanted something big, buttery, and hot. Luckily, Founding Farmers offered something remotely different than what other restaurants did. Luckily, they have four seats at the bar my family could sit at (instead of waiting 90 mins). I enjoy Founding Farmers and their food is good. But I just wanted bread pudding. And theirs hit the spot. It was a decent portion too. Couldn't have used a scoop of ice cream a la mode? Of course but did I need it? No. Their croissant donuts were well balanced too. What shocked me the most was that my family and I were able to sit at the bar. The kids thought they were treated special and considered this experience as something as if they were eating at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. We won't eat here often (it's a 60 mins drive for us). But if we are in the area, and have the money, this would be a place we'd love to explore some more. But I encourage to call ahead to make reservations. read more

Seconding time dining here, and by chance happened to have Susan take care of us both times. We will be absolutely requesting for her moving forward, she was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu and allergens. If you are reading this, you should also request for Susan! Thank you for making my friend's birthday brunch so special :) read more

My son and I ate here on 03/28/26 after going downtown to see the Cherry Blossoms. Very convenient to park in the Metro garage, go downtown and enjoy some good food at Reston Station. Service was great, food came out quick, everything fresh and clean. The ambiance was nice and not noisy at that time. The view from our booth near the bar area was nice. I definitely would like to go back and try some of the other items on the menu and the brunch buffet. read more

I had a first date at Founding Farmers at Reston Station. I was early so sat at the bar while I waited for my date to arrive. The bartender, John, was great. Very attentive and had my back when other patrons misheard something I said. For dinner, we had Gomez as our server. He, too, was attentive and always on top of checking on us...even though we took our time looking at the menu and ordering. He was patient with us and joked with us. He made our evening great! read more

Loved the food and loved Luke. Great time! I would definitely come back again! Try the Caesar salad and salmon.

Great lunch spot right off the metro! Shoutout to Celeste for amazing service. We had a reservation so we didn't have to wait for a table during brunch hours. read more

Founding Farmers Reston Station - Chicken Pot Pie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reston, Virginia

I stopped in by myself for a late lunch, so sat at the bar. The bartender, John H, was busy getting things "reset" between lunch and dinner, but was still attentive and helpful. He said the double smash cheeseburger was good and he was right. The burger patties were moist, not dry, the pickles which seemed house made were delicious and the lettuce was shredded, so it was a little easier to keep my burger in tact. I'm not a tartar sauce fan, so had them leave that off, but enjoyed the Louie sauce. I like a good onion ring and when I said that, he suggested I get them versus the fries. The onion rings were huge, crunchy and delicious. I liked the atmosphere, music, etc. It was quiet, but again, it was in between lunch and dinner. read more

Cool decor and great staff. Humungous menu. Great cocktail list as well. Food was good

Gomez was great. The brunch was excellent. This review requires 85 characters because yelp is absolute trash. But here we go. read more

This place hit the spot! Server Luke was knowledgeable and funny, kept the evening light and enjoyable after a long week at work. Recommend the grilled cheese and tomato soup. Yeah, I know, it's traditionally a "kid's meal" but FF puts a nice grown-up spin on it! read more

Excellent way to start the morning. Luke was amazing - attentive service and having fun in his job. They have Pimm's Cup for you anglophiles out there. Beignets were on point. Ambiance was a mix of business meetings, random friend meet ups - people blowing off Friday work. Highly recommend. We'll be back! read more

Food is always fresh and yummy. Service is also great! Our server Stanley was very helpful and friendly!

Underwhelmed is the word I would use to describe our meal at Founding Farmers today. We have heard amazing things about it (& will try a sit down meal there to compare), but the buffet was mediocre at best. The food was warm, but nothing was hot, fried chicken wasn't crispy, and that batter to shrimp ratio was wild - where's the shrimp! When you advertise carving stations I assume (on me) that it means people will be stationed there to carve the meat and not have it precut in warming trays. Giving credit where credit is due - the eggs Benedict (which you have to order with your server was hot and while not the best I've had - it was the best item I had). The vibe is cool and our server was kind and attentive. Hoping to come back and update (with more stars) once we have a sit down meal. read more

Celeste was great and super attentive please for her when you come. Love the food definitely recommend this place

Brunch buffet was delicious, great range of options from sweet to savory. Luke was very friendly and kept the coffee full!

Food was alright, chicken was serviceable but I would have wished we got a full half rack of ribs on the $27 farmers platter, was still hungry after finishing it and 3 ribs isnt that much as the main focus of the platter. View and location is pretty on point though, but to me, just seemed like an expensive applebees. read more

Luke did a great job keeping the drinks flowing and preparing a birthday donut during our Sunday brunch. Thanks!

The beer was good and cold very taste. That was the high now the low ordered Devil eggs bland no seasoning pictures attached. Ordered the meatloaf (pork and beef comb) cut it in half RAW don't eat raw pork. The 2 stars manger did apologize and comp all food and drinks. Will try again after that. read more

Went for their breakfast buffet and the food was delicious. Plenty of options for everyone and our host was very pleasant. Unfortunately towards the end of our meal someone who we assumed is a manager came up and asked if we had a reservation or simply just walked in and sat ourselves down. This interaction caught us off guard because of course we had made this reservation far in advance and it felt slightly racially motivated since no other tables were asked. I brought this up with my server and he sheepishly apologized and said it must have been a system error and he apologized for the uncomfortable situation. I understand if there's an error/ misunderstanding but it's not really what we say but rather how we say it. Needless to say we will not be returning to this location and advise all POC to reconsider. read more

They denied our group of 8. We had 5 adults and 3 kids and as soon as we walked in they told us sorry we don't have room for you. The entire restaurant was empty, we showed up at 9:30. We tried calling ahead and they didn't answer the phones. If they would have told us they couldn't accommodate us because of dress code it would have been different. We just finished a Mother's Day run and wanted to eat but was rudely talked to by the general manager and I don't appreciate it. Never coming back. read more

Luke was AMAZING! Such a great experience. Super knowledgeable on the menu, food was delicious and service was amazing.

The food was so delicious the 2 times I ate here while on vacay! My favorite was the brunch, while a few items needed to be hotter or softer it still tasted amazing! The service was decent, the restaurant is super cute! read more

We had a memorable dinner for my friend's 60th birthday celebration. For appetizers, we shared the skillet cornbread and also hummus. The cornbread had pieces of corn and came with honey butter - so yummy! The hummus was a different and flavorful twist with feta cheese, tomatoes and crispy bits (sesame seeds?). We all got the farmer's salad with different proteins added. I ordered mine with a perfectly seasoned and grilled piece of salmon. Our waitress Mayory was so kind and made the occasion extra special by bringing a glazed donut with "Happy 60th Birthday!" written beautifully in chocolate. Because details matter, we loved that she moved all the table clutter out of the way to take our picture to commemorate the day. Mayory's the best! We enjoyed all the food, birthday dessert, and gorgeous holiday decorations. It's been awhile since I've visited Founding Farmers, but I look forward to coming back again soon. read more
