I love First Watch, but this is my favorite location nearby. The servers are very friendly, the service is fast, the food was delicious and we had a great time with our nearly two-year-old. I can’t remember what drink I got, but I love to get the seasonal drinks, especially the summer ones. We ate in for this meal, but I’ve done carryout in the last year or so and their carry out is pretty solid. This is one of the many good breakfast options in Kenwood.

I tried the new summer watermelon wake up and it was really fresh. Coming on a weekday is nice it’s not too busy and my server was very attentive. Good price for the amount of food you get.

Always delicious and good service. I love that every time we come in, there’s a special menu with new items. Don’t think I’ve had the same item twice.

Couldn’t even tell you what this was I ordered because I let the waitress pick my meal but I believe it had something to do with lemon in that sauce!!!! So good. I have been to multiple first watch locations and they’ve all been great! This is one of the few times I am thankful that it is a chain and the quality is upheld

Me and my bf came here for brunch and had a nice time. The food was very good and looked well presented. I don’t go to eat out that much so I was very skeptical about the prices since they are more than I would normally pay for a sandwich and omlete. But we had a overall nice experience so I can say it’s fairly priced for the quality of the food. The dining area was very cute with its farmhouse rustic feel to it. We came here on a Sunday morning so it was pretty busy so I was really suprised when we got seated almost right away. I’m looking foward to coming here again in the future!
