My fiancée and I went there today for brunch while we were in town and my server April was rude and rushing us to order. We noticed that she did that with two other tables. When she brought my drinks to the table her hair was on the rim. The food was decent but I don’t think I’m coming back to this establishment. First impression is everything with me and she didn’t leave me with a great one.

Horrible location. Will not be back. Bathrooms are disgusting. Hostess was MIA for several minutes when we first arrived. Told us it would be a 30 minute wait, then sat another group the same size as our before us who arrived after us. The hostess disappeared again for over 5 minutes during our wait. Several people left the restaurant while waiting for the hostess to come back. Ended up being over a 50 minute wait before our table was ready.

Perfect brunch experience! We decided to try First Watch because all the other breakfast restaurants were JAMMED! No regrets! Tried the seasonal purple haze, million dollar bacon, Floridian French toast, and the Chikichanga! Everything exceeded our expectations, taste and service wise ! Our daughter also enjoyed her kids belgian waffle meal.Would recommend to anyone!

We decided to try First Watch for the first time and glad we did. My wife had the Eggs Benedict Florentine and she thoroughly enjoyed it, eggs were cooked just right over ciabatta bread and the hollandaise sauce was perfect. I had the Eggs Benedict BLT; everything was spot on. Will definitely return to this location.

Like so many restaurants these days they were short on staff, but everyone was hustling and I had a great breakfast. My service was top notch. Definitely going back.

We used to go to Egg and I a lot and were very disappointed that they closed their restaurants.And we tried this place for the first time today.We really enjoyed it. I ordered Bacado omelette. Our son ordered French toast and my wife ordered cheese grits and biscuits and gravy. Everything that we ordered tasted really good especially my omelette. And everything seems to be priced very reasonable.Staff was courteous and friendly. The place was very clean also.We’ll definitely come back to this place.

Food and service were great. Only complaint was I ordered the carnitas breakfast burrito and my burrito didn't have any carnitas in it lol. It was just eggs potatoes black beans etc. It was still really good! I'd say it was an 8 out of 10, put some carnitas in there and it would have been a 10 out of 10!

Very clean restaurant. Server was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Food was great. Looking forward to returning

Omg, the million-dollar bacon is to die for. This was my first time visiting and it is definitely on my must-go backlist. I enjoyed the avocado toast, as well as the Belgium waffle, I was hungry,?but that bacon tho... It was on point.If you haven't tried it you must.

I asked for a juice with no ice because I have sensitive teeth, so the waitress got me 2/3 of a glass, deducting the space the ice would have occupied. How cheap and passive aggressive is that? I am clearly never going back. A good restaurant would never be that incredibly rude to a costumer that is simply trying to enjoy a meal without a toothache. ?‍♀️ ?
