“I work upstairs so I frequent often. Breakfast and lunch, either or daily because the servings our generous enough for both. I have had it all, cold sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches and sandwiches off the grill. Regardless of what I order, it never disappoints. The Reuben is a favorite, lean Corned beef and cooked perfect on the flat top. I try to eat lite at work but felt like a burger today. I am tough when I am judging a burger, cause I’ve had more than any cardiologist would recommend in a lifetime, the mushroom burger was a 8.3/10. I can only remember one or two getting near the 9 score in my life so 8.3 is definitely something to be proud about. Only suggestion is put it in the small carryout box because wrapping it in paper with all the fried onions and mushrooms got the top bun covered in grease, but the burger was so good I quickly got beyond a greasy bun.
The open line only works when you have line-cooks as friendly, polite, and cool as your staff. Keep up the good work!“

“Had a pleasant experience today that required multiple staff members help. I can’t remember everyone’s name but the floor manager and Nate at the service desk were wonderful, pleasant and super easy to talk to. Highly recommend this location!“

“The best pastries in town ! Always something new to try.“

“250828 - By the time we reached Sparks, the muffins had begun to take effect; we were low on fuel, having come off the highway, aware wet were close to ‘Empty’ in unfamiliar country. Nervously looking for a gas station, ambling along our way back to Canada after a week in the capital. Some said we were brave to visit, we never minded, soaked it all in, we were just there to check on our American cousins, see how y’all were making out in a rather turbulent time. Loved the rolling countryside and gorgeous homes in the area - hmmm…a preserve of the ‘horsie set?’ we thought. Now, even lower on fuel, we caught the sign and stopped at TFS. We surveyed the place, quirky storefront and round the back which felt surprisingly, decidedly chill. Straightaway, we struck up a conversation with a friendly physical therapist, because we’re that kind of chatty. Had a spontaneous, lovely and wide-ranging chat including the whole family. A delicious milkshake, I think a cookie, and couple washroom breaks later, our new friend sent us on our way to the Exxon down the way and a nearby turnoff to get us back en route to the north land. Felt really good to meet a kind helpful soul along the way, the kind of people we wanted to show the kids, and we somehow knew we would certainly meet on our drive into NY, PA, MD, VA, DC. Now back in the land of the silver birch, home of Lord Stanley’s sport and the ‘double-double,’ I am just reading about your late friend Rosa and how much she’d touched you all and your beloved TFS :) Nice lil place. Glad we got to stop by and say hello :) Best regards, hope to see you again“

“We went for lunch ,tomato soup and one got their summer strawberry salad..... and my sister got a sandwich....only issue was I had asked for an extra dressing.....and it was a 1/2 filled little container that they use for dressing..... I did not ask for an extra drop of dressing but a fully filled container!!!!“

“While shopping yesterday.“

“Our first trip to First Watch this morning. Great place for breakfast or brunch. Nice menu, lots of healthier options too. Place was clean and chic and the food was fast, hot and delicious. Our server was Tiffany who took care of us. Nice and friendly. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I had a late breakfast at the Timonium location on December 27, 2024. Upon arrival, at almost 11:30 AM, the hostess named Samantha, was seating another group of people. We watched Samantha clean tables, set place settings, before returning and seating us. We soon took note that this very pleasant hostess/greeter was taking on several jobs: we watched her methodically bus tables, return to awaiting guests in line and proceed to repeat the same process...while also being the cashier for departing guests who were paying their bill. As more and more people arrived, we watched Samantha's professionalism never waiver. Our waitress named Kelly was also pleasant. She quickly took our order and soon returned with drinks. Not long later, another kitchen helper returned with our plates of food. I commented on how well everyone was working and gave a special appreciation to Samantha. We observed Samantha rearrange tables to accommodate groups of people while maintaining her warm smile that revealed her love for her job and customers! The food was delicious, and the service was above standard. Employees at this location really work well together but Kudos to Ms. Samantha who worked above and beyond expectations!!!“

“My dining companion and I ordered the Julia Salad with grilled chicken for our lunch meals. The salads were absolutely excellent. The bread at Sammy's is terrific. I am sorry to say I didn't ask our server's name but he was friendly and attentive. The interior of the restaurant is lovely. It was a very nice lunch experience!“

“My sister got pineapple in her salad but said no pineapple with chicken but they messed it up again. Soup was good. They did fix the order. The soup was a little warm but mostly hot. The covers to the cups came in twos and we had trouble getting it out.“
