This place is so cute. It has a nice atmosphere seems like a farm town country kitchen kind of place. The food here is so fresh and delicious. The service was great no complaints at all here. I highly recommend this place for your next breakfast or brunch spot!

Such a great place to get breakfast. We were quickly seated and had our order taken. The food didn’t take long to come out. The first waffle that was brought out was a little dark and they brought out another without us saying anything. Just great friendly service and we’ll worth the visit.

Had their trifecta breakfast it was delicious and also had the omelette turkey option which was also delicious. Busy day regardless staff was very pleasant and attentive. Not sure why but there was a rather odd smell when you enter kinda like a wet rag but other than that great place

My Sister and I stopped in for a late breakfast before I had to fly back home. Our service was incredible! Had to get a mimosa! The food was so good! I had the elevated egg sandwich and it hit the spot! We will be back! Thank you for a great dining experience!

Overall a great time at First Watch. We had some breakfast and lunch. Everyone that help us was super nice. Our server was Keiandra and she was awesome. If they have the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnamon Roll when you go, you have to try it, we had it for dessert and it was big enough for 3 people.

Quick and efficient service, good quality food with excellent variety. Classic and healthy options, and everything on the menu is amazing. Had the soft shell tacos and purple Haze drink. Absolutely delicious, especially the purple Haze, which I’ve never had anywhere else. Four stars only because the avocado was pretty underripe and the cheese grits were chewy (???), but I’ve been here dozens of times so still deserves and overall great score.

Would have loved to have given the full 5 star rating, but they’re lucky to have gotten 3. We had a party of 8 and we were seated outside. The tables have umbrellas that we quickly learned do not stop you from getting rained on. We tried moving the tables closer to buildings covered walkway, and immediately were told we could not. Not a problem, we explained we were trying to get out of the rain. We told her we would need a different set up so that we could order and eat. She asked us if we were saying that we needed a table inside. We said we couldn’t and wouldn’t eat in the rain. Her response was “Well the weather isn’t on me. That’s on you.” We looked at each other shocked, and had we not had 4 baseball players who were on a time limit, we would have immediately left and found somewhere else. It only takes one comment to ensure we won’t be back. That’s a shame, because the food was pretty good. The waffles ordered sat at the table for a bit as dishes were served but no syrup. The fruit bowl was pretty, and mostly good, but the melons were all hard and not ripe. That was a shame because that’s what took up the bottom of the bowl. The rest was pretty good. Hopefully the waitress take customer service lessons from the hostess, who was friendly and understood (and unnecessarily apologized) for originally seating us outside.
