10/10 food. 10/10 visuals. 10/10 atmosphere!! This is a must stop. If you have not been definitely go. Slightly on the louder side but didnt bother us.

Great Service, Slightly Confused Grits First Watch is usually a solid go-to, and this visit was mostly a good one. The food was good… but almost great. The grits were a little overcooked—more “comfort food glue” than creamy goodness—and my eggs clearly missed the memo about being over easy. Not terrible, just not exactly what I ordered. Now let’s talk about the real highlight: Faith, our server. She was absolutely spot on—friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. Honestly, she made the whole experience so much better that I almost forgot about the grits having an identity crisis. Her energy and service were top-tier and exactly what great hospitality looks like. Overall, solid experience thanks to amazing service, with just a few food tweaks needed to make it perfect. I’d definitel

My first time trying the oatmeal. They were steel cut oats. Nice portion. The muffin was really good too. I usually get quinoa, but this was a nice distraction.
