First Watch

My son wanted breakfast for his birthday meal, so after a little bit of research we discovered First Watch. We arrived mid lunch hour and the place was packed. They seemed a bit understaffed. There was a line at the checkout counter, and several parties ahead of us waiting for tables. Rather than have a designated cashier/hostess the wait staff had to perform all duties. We were informed that although they had tables available, due to large party there were no chairs. We were offered either seating at the bar or waiting, we chose the bar. We had a nice view of the street, but the chairs were very narrow and uncomfortable. I ordered the eggs benedict BLT Style which consisted of two poached eggs on a brioche bun with bacon, avocado, tomato and topped with hollandaise sauce. There was a mixt

I just love this place! They have the best breakfast around. The most healthy option and variety in a breakfast place I have seen! My boyfriend loved it so much we had to go twice in our one week trip to Lynchburg! The food and service is always great! The juices are so yummy! I like over-easy eggs and they do them perfectly! The pancakes are HUGE & the syrup is warm!

The servers are often slow, so not come back often enough to the table to ask how everything is. This day when eating there, the omelette and potatoes were almost cold!!🥶 They were probably held for sometime before being delivered to the table, and the plates are very cold stoneware!! Which should always be preheated before warm food is placed on them, common sense🙄. The staff at this place were mainly hanging out in the back laughing and not working the tables. I’ve been to several First Watch locations, Charlotte, NC to Jupiter, FL, this one was certainly the worst of any I’ve seen😏.

I paid over $30 for two to-go dishes that barely contained any food. It’s seems instead of solely raising their prices, they have also diminished their serving sizes. Also, when I came to pick up my app placed to-go order, I first checked in with the host stand. Instead of having me sit and wait on the benches by the door, the host told me to go wait by the kitchen in a cramped awkward spot right next to other families eating their breakfast and servers taking food out. It felt awkward and very in the way. The food tastes fine and the atmosphere is what I like about this place, however I am not sure after this I will choose to dine here again. For the prices this business charges, I expect far better service and dish preparation.

Grace is a true delight. Her kindness is a breath of fresh air in this crazy world today. She made sure we had everything we needed from start to finish. And for us, the food here is always delicious! It is our go to spot after a tough week. Great job Grace!!! Hope you will serve us again. Thank you!
