I have found a new favorite ! I stopped in for breakfast and I kept thinking I have to write something on this place! My food was served fresh & was delightful with every bite. My waitress was kind and bubbly & she didn't mind sharing her favorite choices as I was undecided what to get ! Five stars all the way across the board, cleanliness, the food, the prices , the cook, my wait time and my waitress mentioned her name was ashley. I hope to catch her everytime! I hope the staff and restaurant in general gets the recognition they deserve.Also- she has the cutest tattoos all over !

Zoe was in fact the BEST server I have had at this location! Go Zoey! They need more like you here. Your parentals raised you right! It was a pleasure sipping my sweet tea with you! Thank you for great service instead of the usual! I am not a snowbird! Locals need a little better treatment during season!

This is a restaurant that has a healthier approach to food. I like their combos of half sandwich and a cup of soup. Sandwiches are delicious! Service is very good.

First time in a First Watch. A chain eatery. Service was perfectly fine. On the other hand, the food was not.I tend to rate a breakfast place on their Eggs Benedict. I have to say, once again, chain places fail to deliver. I didn't take the sides that came with it because, usually, the eggs should be all I need to be full.Unfortunately mine was missing an egg. By the time my waitress got back to us to see how we were doing I mentioned this and she was kind enough to offer to get me an egg. I was already more than halfway through the meal, so I declined. Plus the one egg I did get must have come from a Robin, it was so damn small. I know some places like to add a bit of lemon to their hollandaise sauce but it's a bit much in theirs.Had my Mother with me and she got two eggs over easy with crispy bacon and an English Muffin. She complained they broke the yolk and everything seemed overcooked.All this plus 2 cups of coffee and 1 small juice came to $40.The coffee & juice were good..Needless to say we won't be back.

Food is consistently great. Service was excellent. Nice value for what you get. We had no wait time and were seated immediately (but often you will find they are super busy - which is a sign of a good restaurant). Pleasantly pleased.Parking: Parking can be difficult to find right at the entrance - but, usually available.

We love brunch! We started with the million $ Bacon - don’t miss it! My valentine had The Works omelette, I had the Chickichanga and we shared a honey caramel crunch iced coffee. The service was excellent and brunch was memorable, not just for the XOXO’s from my love ?
