★★★★★ 5.0 Laura White · Jan 2026

GREAT variety of healthy (& also comfort food) options. Their fresh squeezed drinks are great, and all the food I've had here has great presentation and tastes even better. Def not the same old boring menu, even with classics on there like pancakes.

★★★★★ 5.0 Mona Sala · Oct 2025

We love this place specially for a late breakfast, food is delicious and service amazing, definitely recommend. Only thing is missing is some good strong expresso coffee. They do have just regular coffee brew.

Had a great birthday brunch. And a wonderful server Mckenna Hudson. Great food and service and perfect way to start my birthday

★★★★★ 5.0 J Herb · Feb 2026

McKenna takes care of us every visit and pretty much knows our order. She always is friendly and attentive. She knows we always get an orange juice and coffee and on the last visit, didn’t even have to be prompted; which was awesome since we were on a tight schedule for the day. Best location in the greater Knoxville area and the best server.

First Watch is my go-to sanctuary, a vibrant haven that feels like home no matter where I roam. As a travel nurse, I cherish finding these gems across different cities, each one distinct with its own flair, weaving local character into its stunning decor. On this memorable visit, I stumbled upon their Million Dollar Potatoes—sinfully divine, like they were crafted in a secret culinary lab. Our server, Christy, was an efficient and professional, making our out-of-town adventure with my partner a delight.
