I have only been to this restaurant a few times. The food is good and I have never had bad service. However, in comparison to my favorite go to breakfast location I don’t like the flavors quite as much here. That is my personal preference though. Would recommend that you give it a try.

This is a nice low key spot to get brunch. We were in and out within about 25-30 minutes. Service was prompt and friendly. The food and drinks were great as well. I appreciate the great hospitality

The food here is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend! I ordered the turkey sausage and gravy dish. It’s just mildly spicy but so delicious! Would definitely order it again.

I travel a lot so when I see a First Watch in the area I usually pick here first first breakfast. This was one of those times. I ordered online but I am usually leery because of my gluten allergy anywhere. Not the case here the easy of the app and having dedicated food like the power breakfast bowl with adding notes I can rest assured I’m not going to have an reaction.

I don’t believe I’ve ever had a bad meal at a first watch. This is the same. I had the X Benedict and the million dollar bacon and both were good

I really like First Watch and I try to visit one when I am traveling. One gripe I have is that the Traditional Breakfast could be cooked to order and brought to the customer hot and fresh. Each time I visited a First Watch, very rarely are the eggs hot and fresh. The grits are great!

Amazing coffee! The host was so friendly. We were seated expedentially. Our server was able to tell us all so much about the menu and help us make delicious choices. When I inquired about the coffee (bold and flavorful) I was pleasantly surprised to find out I could take a bag home!. Will definitely come back.
