Delicious breakfast in a spacious room. Bacon was fantastic, potatoes were nicely crisped and the menu provides enough of a selection that everyone can find something tasty. Fast and friendly setvice. A real gem.

Our server was top notch! She paid special attention to my mom who has alpha gal and serious food sensitivities!

Worst service I’ve received. My husband and baby comes all the time for breakfast and today it’s my first time coming here with them. Food is okay, I like the cornbread but the steak and egg hash was definitely way too salty (well our server never checked on us once so I didn’t get to share it with them). Back to the service. Just want to list a few things that happened today: - took long to get us highchair and water - when getting us water, didn’t get baby a water cup only two glass cups for us adults - when ordering, didn’t ask us what side we want and basically I guess assumed what we wanted? Because my husband and baby comes all the time so he asked the server to switch whatever side to fruits, later - didn’t check on us at all before she handed over the receipt and asked us to pay u

Short Story: LIVE LARVAE found in food I wish I could rate a zero. I am college student so I am not the type to write reviews of any kind of restaurants. I’m a server too so I understand more than most how busy the food industry can get. But this was the worst restaurant experience I have ever experienced or even heard of. I feel I need to express my frustrations somehow since no one would talk to me there. We first walked in and could see that it was busy. No big deal though we didn’t mind waiting, especially because I have always liked First Watch. Just the two of us wanting a Sunday brunch. Then we were told we could be seated right now if we sat at the bar, which seemed great. After being seated, it then took A FULL 22 MINUTES for anyone to acknowledge our existence. My boyfriend ha
