We are staying at a hotel nearby and needed a better breakfast option. We got a tremendous breakfast and the service we received from Christine was top notice. Looks like we’ll be back tomorrow. Thank you Christine and what ever the chefs names are. It was so good.

Went there last july 4th. The food was really delicious and fresh. Service was a bit slow. They need more staff during holidays. Waiters were really busy or having a hard time serving everybody.

Great family brunch or breakfast. The service is great. While there is no reservations, you can go to the website and get inline 10-15 min before you arrive to save a bit of time. Staff is friendly and servers work hard to get things right. Since I have an allergy I tell the server and have gone here 2 times now and both times, they have great care and make sure my meal is not going to get contaminated with spices. I will come back. Average cost for family of 4 about $60 depending on what you order. I tip on the high end when I have great service so Just under $100 for 4 adults. Well worth it though because the food is good.

Absolutely my family’s favorite place to eat breakfast! They are always so nice, and even though they are usually busy (because it’s so awesome), we’ve never felt anything but love from the incredible staff and we hardly ever have to wait for a table. The million dollar bacon is heavenly, but I get the bacado omelet almost every time! It’s incredibly tasty, and all the flavors together are just perfection! Everyone else in my family gets something new each time, and they always say they have a new favorite. Go there. Eat the food. Just pick anything, and you’ll see!

First Watch is my favorite place fir breakfast & brunch. The food is excellent, priced fairly, and the waitstaff works together as a team. What this means is, if an order is ready, whoever is available will bring it to your table. This means your order has not been sitting under a heat lamp.

I try this spot every few years to see if it’s any better. The menu always looks so good,but the food itself always falls short for me unfortunately. I will say that the hollandaise sauce here is one of the best.

This is one of our favorite brunch spots! The wait can be a bit long at times but worth it for us. The staff is always so nice. The food is so good, ranging from healthy to hearty, with cocktails and juices in-between. Our always buy is their Million Dollar Bacon… one word, FIRE!

Had brunch here today with sisters and a friend for the first time. I had the waffle and muffin and thought it was yummy, but would’ve love 2 waffles instead of one. The others loved their choices too. The seasoned potatoes were a little extra salty. Iced coffee was delicious. Service was great and restaurant was clean. Can’t wait to go again and try another tasty option! So many to choose from!
