Great service – friendly – and just the right amount of attention. Food was delicious and delivered to the table quickly. The kale juice was actually tasty too 🙂

From the outside this place looks like a dive but inside has a warm and inviting atmosphere. Service was good but not great. Our server seemed like she wanted to move on from us. It was our first time so we were a little slow on ordering so that may explain her impatience. The Ham and Gruyere Melt with tomato soup was way good! The Monterey Club had tones of meat and very little topings for my sandwich. I like a variety of flavors with my food, and I just didn’t get it with that sandwich. The

I love coming to First Watch before going on an adventure. Today, I tried the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and some seasoned potatoes. They were excellent, as was the service and the atmosphere. Even though they were busy, I was still seated in about half the quoted time.

This is the second weekend that I ordered FW for brunch using doordash. The first time was excellent. My guy loved his Traditional breakfast. I had a fruit bowl that was great and a side of potato that were well cooked. Today I ordered myself the same and my guy a Trifecta. The food was under cooked, the waffle was limp, the potatoes still tough, and to say the fruit bowl was lacking would be an understatement. Not even a quarter of the container. I intend on cooking brunch in the future rather than getting takeout but if in the future I should like to get takeout I will likely consider other options..

I love the healthy options on this menu! They make fresh juice concoctions every day and they are full of all the good stuff. Plenty of vegetarian options as well. This was my second time coming and the first time I had the biscuits and gravy which were top notch. This next time I had a skillet hash with veggies and it was amazing!! The kids loved it too. They serve a strawberry jam with the toast and it tastes and feels like it’s homemade. If you order French toast or anything of that sort the syrup comes warmed. The coffee had amazing flavor as well as the Morning Glory cocktail. I love it here and there’s no doubt we will be back to try more good stuff.

Absolutely loved this place so much. The staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming. David and Victoria were extremely nice and heart warming and really know how to put a smile on your face. I also loved how most of the options on the menu are healthy and they have a vegetarian option. 10/10 would definitely come back to try other things. ❤️❤️

The service was amazing and made sure I had a great birthday breakfast. The food was hot and freshly made with an amazing taste. The presentation and staff were perfect and had everything looking delicious along with good suggestions. It was my first time here and I’m definitely going there more often. The prices were cheap especially for the fresh and amazing food with great portions.

My Husband and I came here for the first today…. Before I start I’m not one that normally leaves reviews… If I do they deserve it either way rather good or bad!!!! With that said… The only thing I can say was good was the water…. My husband said his coffee was good… then after that it was a train wreck… they brought syrup to the table looking like it hasn’t been cleaned in weeks… We ordered Gingerbread Spice Donuts to share and they was so cold they hurt my teeth… I order a Belgium Waffle it was so cold the butter didn’t even melt a little bit… my husband order BLT Egg Benedict with potatoes…it suppose to come with two eggs… and came out with only one… we are not complainers and at this point I was just eating my cold waffle and not saying anything… my husband sent his meal back to be fixed and when it came back out the hollandaise sauce was in his ketchup it was just sloppy… asked to speak to the manager and Julie came out when my husband started to explain to her she proceed to argue with him and wouldn’t allow him to explain the issues… The only other good experience was the waitress… I’m sorry I can’t remember her name.. We definitely won’t be back!! And I would totally understand if they was really busy and short on staff but we was there at 7:15 am and there was only us and 2 other tables a total of 5 customers including us in the restaurant.. NO EXCUSES!!
