My favorite place to come and havebreakfast don?t hesitate First Watch is the spot! Read more
Although the service is pretty good for the most part, the food itself is mediocre and definitely not as fresh as they claim on... their menu. For the last two times i have gone i have ordered the BLT eggs Benedict and the Smoked salmon eggs Benedict. Thebacon on the BLT was hard, but the poached egg was delicious and cooked perfectly. The hollandaise sauce was lacking inseasoning though and the tomatoes had no flavor weirdly along with the arugula it was just not a very good combination. The nexttime i went decided to try the Smoked salmon Benedict. The salmon was soggy and flavorless, like it had been frozen and thendefrosted in the microwave. Again the hollandaise was lacking flavor but the egg was again cooked perfectly. The potatoes aredelicious though and the environment is very nice, small and homey in way. The employees are pretty friendly from what i recall. Read more
I love it here. Coffee is so so, but food is always fast, hot and good. Grits today were not great, but my server was empowered... to address it without a manager or any hassle. Great service from Rebeca, my omelet was exactly as I ordered and it is clean andopen. Nice atmosphere. Yes, it is a chain, but local people work here and I like this location a lot! Read more
Excellent food and friendly service! An excellent choice for a casual breakfast in a bright, welcoming atmosphere. My favorite... is the Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl and the Morning Meditation fresh juice. Read more
My coworker brought in blueberry muffins from here for work , and I love sweets and breakfast/ brunch. Had to check this place... out, a cozy little place, could maybe use some more decor ? Doesn't matter haha, the food was delicious! I got a drink calledPurple Haze to go and it's light and refreshing , not too lavender-y. Staff was friendly and helpful . Read more
So this place has great service and super workers but the timing is EVERYTHING! It is in a prime location specifically for the... local residents. However there's many people that are traveling and find what they're used to from other parts of the country.So they gravitate towards the specific location. It's not as big as some of the other First Watch locations I've been to. Theworkers try really hard to stay on top of things to keep everybody Pleasant. But because of the amount of people that go inthere the kitchen gets slammed and it takes a while for you to get your food. Mind you it is very hot when it's delivered butyou may end up waiting for it for quite some time and fill up one coffee and water and juice. Food is phenomenal Services evenbetter just make sure you plan your time just right. Sundays after 10:30 a.m. plan to wait a good 60 minutes. Don't let thisdeter you check it out! Read more
update 10/24/22: only an apology and the console of better management. they used this review to snuff out the fault in their... service. that's nice. definitely been to better first watch restaurants. this is not the one to go to for you brunchneeds. Service was not great. Seated a table of 8 and the waitress forgot about us after ordering food ahead for the kids. Hadto go to the front to ask where the waitress went. Then when she was ready for our order. It took them 45 minutes to an hour tobring out the food. We waited a whole 2 hours before we got our food. Management didn?t care to give us the courtesy to updateus on service. Don?t know if it was a party size problem or a staffing issue. Either way a heads up that they couldn?t servicea party that big would?ve been nice. Would?ve taken my business else where. Won?t be returning to this location for brunchneeds/outing Read more
