I am not a fan of buffets, but I wonder why with all the restaurants in the DMV that FF engenders such animosity?

It gets 5 stares on Trip Advisors.

The moral of the story is, never rely on Trip Advisors.

Wow, I’ve been to the Potomac location several times. It has always been decent (including service) so this thread surprises me.

Do they do communal seating or do you just really like to eat alone?

There's a reason Tom Sietsema gave it zero stars. I went to the Tysons location once - never again. There are so many better choices for brunch.

It used to be the bar featured in one of the true crime / forensics shows - Bones? CSI?
I imagine my 70 something midwestern mom watching cable re-runs on TNT would be impressed by that.


No it wasn’t. Their favorite place had a similar name but it was not founding farmers. It was f
founding fathers.

Yes, yes — it’s crowded, service is awful and food just meh —nothing new there. But how are Jimmy and Warren doing?
