Legitimately terrible service. Food is good. Save yourself the headache and only order takeout.

They were short staffed and missing a hostess. BUT Melody was absolutely amazing! You would have never noticed the lack of personnel by how attentive and on point herself and the kitchen was. Everyone did an incredible job today! And the food was perfect as always. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

It was the typical First Watch experience: better than average food and service, but nothing to write home about.

The kids absolutely devoured the waffles (they did look & smell delicious) and the omelets and breakfast potatoes were very good. The side of bacon was cooked perfectly.

I had to decrease the ratings for service and atmosphere, becuase they put us in the dark back corner (I assume becuase of our three kids), which was not ideal, and although we asked for the bread to be placed on separate plates due to an allergy, the bread was placed right on top of the omelets and potatoes. That's a big problem for someone with a serious gluten allergy.

Wonderful atmosphere for breakfast, delicious food, and excellent service (thank you, Melody!). Highly recommend this location for a nice meal out.

Love the coffee being served by the insulated carafe, btw

Tried them again, not coming back! Went back today, hostess stated about 30 min wait, but should not take that long. Recieved waitlist text at 11:16 by 12:05, notthing! Go inside and a different hostess verified im on the list and says it will be about 20 more minutes...3 months ago...The wait times are ridiculous to be seated and to get food after ordering. Pointless to get on the waitlist through the app. New manager so hopefully will change soon.

Food has no flavor. Tastes generic. Like it’s made, sent in an reheated. Waitress was inattentive. Maybe too many tables. We were seated by the ver busy restrooms, where no one should be seated. Will not return.

The food was delicious and tasted like real wholesome ingredients. The atmosphere was very family friendly and welcoming. Over all a great first experience!

Did a DoorDash order this morning for the farmhouse hash & chicken apple sausage. It was delivered at 8:34am. The food initially smelled and tasted fine, and my first reaction was positive. However, after taking a few bites, I noticed an off smell and a bad taste. Within approximately 25 minutes of delivery (9am), I became nauseated and vomited everything back into the bag/on the plate. I was unable to eat more than a few bites. I am concerned the food may have been spoiled or improperly handled. By the time everything came back up I wasn't able to determine if it was the sausage or the hash.

I would not recommend this establishment for breakfast/brunch.

I have eaten here on three different occasions that I can remember, each time it's been a disappointment. The last instance is the reason for my review... Ordered the Chicken Avocado Chop Salad online (delivery), it was delivered without the avocado. I tried calling the restaurant and the phone rang until it hung up. Drove to the restaurant, and because there's no dedicated hostess had to wait about 5 minutes before I could speak with someone. It's a weird feeling seeing the waiting staff notice you're waiting to be seen, but avoid you. That said, when someone finally spoke to me, I told them my salad was missing avocado. They returned with a very small dressing container of avocado. Just very disappointed in the experience. To add, the salad wasn't very flavorful.
