This is the first time at this First Watch, but it still compares to the rest. Today I got the cinnamon crunch pancakes off the holiday menu and it tasted like Winter. The crunch made it worth it too. Either you're going to love it or hate it. My wife got the Carrot cake and Pecan Pancake, that also tasted delicious. Also the million dollar bacon and potatoes are ALWAYS A MUST at our table. If you want good food for brunch definitely give this place a try! Don't over look it!

Great food, great customer service, they make sure all of your needs are taken care of. Kaila was our waitress, and she was very attentive considering it was Mother's Day, and they were slammed busy!!! Would definitely come back again!!

A small cozy little place that's absolutely amazing. We work nights, and it's perfect for when we get off for a mimosa or bloody Mary. We had the Belgium waffles and the French toast. They definitely do not disappoint with a warm berry compote on the side, and the syrup comes to the table with the food warm also. The million dollar potatoes are good, I don't like bacon, but my wife is a bacon fanatic... I loved the potatoes. They are breakfast potatoes,bacon, and a cheese type sauce on top. My wife said they were ok. The Club sandwich and BLT'S are a great choice as well. we don't always want breakfast, so it was great to have choices other than just breakfast food.

I was really excited to try this place during my trip and they delivered. I had the brisket hash entree which was really good and super filling. Although the initial dish looked a bit chaotic, all of the components really worked well together. The guac, fried egg, hash, tortilla, peppers and garnish really create an amazing bit. I paired it with there fresh green juice, forgetting the flavor combination. There were so many other options that looked great on the menu, if I’m ever back in town I’ll definitely go back for more.

My 7 friends and I went here today for brunch to kick off the new year. The food was excellent. The drinks were perfectly made. And we had a wonderful server named Ava who took great care of us. If you enjoy a good time come here. I know I’ll be back again soon.

Fantastic food and fantastic service. We got the eggs Benedict which is the best I've had in a while. We also go the the egg and bacon skillet. The potatoes are spectacular and the bacon is to die for. Quality of food also seems pretty high. Will definently be back.
