Best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. I could eat this every day. The only down side is it's always busy, but that also shows how good it is. I waited an hour to be seated and it was worth the wait.

I ordered pick up, no on spoke to me or even acknowledged I was there until other people came in. No one up front , when I was finally spoken to I was told to watch for my food. They have a seat beside the pick up orders which is in the back. The bathrooms are around the corner of it too. The place was packed so it seemed they were overwhelmed. My food took 20 minutes past expected time to come out and unfortunately still wasn't very hot. It seemed it was sitting in the back and had not been brought out yet. I think they prioritized the in house guest since they were full, customers service could improve.

Great non traditional menu and really special wait staff!! The Million Dollar Bacon is to die for!! And it's included in the million dollar Bloody Mary!! The only thing I do not care for is the blueberry pancakes. Only about 3 blueberries in the pancakes. Everything else was excellent!!! I go every week or so!!!

Visited the Gainesville, GA location again today. Fortunately not as busy as a weekend day, but the hostess returned to the front and immediately ignored us and went to process payment for people at the register who just walked up when we’d been waiting a while. Another person finally materialized from the back and seated us. Not sure if the donut holes are a permanent item, but they were really good - a great treat! For a place that touts healthy foods, they don’t have skim milk?? Weird. I get their Avocado Toast often, but it was not good today - it was already brown when it arrived at our table, and had zero flavor. Our server was nice enough, but never came back to check on us. Overall, the most impactful factor during our visit was the incredibly loud music. We couldn’t hear most of what our server said, and we could hardly hear each other speaking at our own table - it was like being in a bar on a weekend night. First Watch should work on this please.

Very first time coming here. Food was great, place was clean, juices are very fresh. I will return. Be ready to wait a minute or two BUT that is a great sign for excellent food.I will return.

Eggs Benedict are disappointing. Hollandaise sauce was thin and lemon dressed greens had no lemon flavor. Top it off that the ham was watery and thin cut. The ciabatta bread was okay, there are better choices.Service was good.What can bring me back is the French toast. That is good. The potatoes are also good.Parking: Just a bad lot to get in and out of.

I've been here about 3 times but never got seated the last time we were supposed to get a message when the table would be ready but it's been 3 months and still no text

I've been here a couple times any everything I've ordered has been great. They aren't even lazy with the sides like a lot of restaurants either, so the entire meal is enjoyable.

First time coming here and it was wonderful. Loved the options available. The food was excellent! Fresh clean food. I adore what they are doing here and definitely found my favorite breakfast place. I plan to return and tell as many people as possible to try them out!

Food was average, not bad but not worth the price. I mean come on $6 for 4 pieces of bacon?? That being said the cooks do a good job probably the best part of the restaurant in my opinion. Wish I could’ve tipped them personally.Service was about the same, nothing special. Had to flag down our server multiple times. And we then had to pay at the front with a poor lady swamped with a line of customers on her own when the server could’ve just checked us out individually. A bit silly.Won’t be coming back unless I have to.

Disappointed with this location. Poor service, eggs over cooked and there was hair was found in our meal. Expect higher quality when paying higher prices like yours.
