Lisa was a great server. She was happy and serving coffee with a smile. It was so nice to have a pleasant attitude to start my morning off with. Food was fresh and hot as alway at every first watch. I come to this location often and really enjoy the services. I’ve had Debi as my sever before too she is also great to have as a server.

I am disappointed and don’t understand why this happened. I placed a take-out order today July 30th, 2023 for pick-up at 2:00pm. I requested soft/limp bacon & specifically stated NOT CRISPY and I received VERY CRISP bacon, a side order. If they couldn’t make my bacon the way I ordered it, I should have been notified & taken off my bill!!! I ❤️ this restaurant and NEVER had an issue when eating in the restaurant. Also, my roast beef sandwich had an off taste to it!! Though maybe this sandwich is always this way as it’s my first time trying it!! The also had to switch the bread, though no problem I just don’t understand why their was NO COMMUNICATION before packing it up and giving it to me, for me to find when I opened them up at home. The person I received my order from was super nice and willing to put my sandwich on different bread, but they were in the process of closing and the bread chosen was fine. The bacon being on both the club and beef sandwich along with a separate side being the EXACT OPPOSITE of how I ordered it, made me question if the even read the special instructions at all. And or simply lazy because they wanted to go home. Even though it was 2pm and they close at 2:30pm. I won’t be ordering take-out from this restaurant in the future and that is sad to me!!! Sincerely, Douglas

Had lunch at this location today. Seated promptly. Server arrived about 10 minutes later. Gave him our order for everything. Received our drinks quickly, they were perfect. That’s where the good experience ended. It took 45 minutes for our food to be delivered by another server ( just 2 meals). We both ordered off the new spring menu. One meal was made correctly, second meal was not (no pork anywhere in the dish and incorrect eggs on top). Just had to eat it as it was, didn’t want to risk a longer wait time to get it corrected. Besides, our server never checked back with us until he brought the check. Had to go ask the hostess for a box for the rest of the meal that was made properly.

Best breakfast experience ever! My drink had a shot of vitamins and tasted so fresh! Made with ginger, turmeric, beets and other goodness! I was going to order the Chikichanga, but our server Ian recommended the million dollar sandwich and it was amazing! I’m sad to say that it’s only for a limited time , so don’t wait to come try it! It was the best bacon I’ve ever had! The home fries were also seasoned to perfection! The multi grain bread tasted like it had just came out of the oven! And the jelly and compote was amazing and served warm! I wanted to try there cereal milk rum cocktail but it was a lil early for me, but definitely next time! And I’ll ask for Ian.. we was so great!!

This is a great location, they are great about making substitutions for me like removing tomato and adding extra avocado on my special eggs Benedict just the way I like, like Mom used to make back in California! When all the staff is happy it shows in the overall experience. So thankful for the whole staff at my local first watch! ❤️

Definitely a five star breakfast. Our kids started with the doughnuts and purple haze drink. Those received a standing ovation. My wife had the avocado toast and egg which she loved, I had French toast Florida style (with fruit added), and my kids had Belgian waffles. My son’s waffle was part of the tri fecta breakfast option. All were superb. Finally, there is the million dollar bacon. This is a must order item! So amazing.

Salmon Benedict had old strong smelling salmon I couldn’t eat. Brisket Hash had very little brisket and nearly all potatoes. My husband had to get up and get straight cream for his coffee from another table after asking and waiting for it too long. No one checked to see how the food was. $45 for a poor meal. This was a Sat. am. I have had better luck on a week day. I’ll never visit on a weekend again.
