Usually First Watch is very good. Good food and good service. Kind of a slow wait, if you get there around 10am on Sunday.
Unfortunately, Sunday, April 21 wasn't as good. Got there about 7:45am. Hubby and I got sat to the left of the bar area. Sat for about 10 minutes. A guy, by himself, got seated in the same area. He was served his coffee and his order was taken. I said to the server, "Don't forget about us over here." She looked over and then left. We waited a few minutes, then got up and asked to speak to the manager. He said sorry about that, we can seat you in another area if you'd like. I noticed the server starting out, then she turned around and went the other way. Not sure what her problem was that day.
So we went to IHOP, got sat and served right away.

I want to like this place.... I just never do. Basic and edible but for the price, I need to go to a better place.

The service was very welcoming and kind, the place is very clean and there is always someone here to help if needed.I always order the Works Omlette at the Leesburg location, and this location didn't disappoint.Highly recommend if you're in the area or wanna have a brunch date.

The grits were cold - twice. The server did all it could to make it right and finally had to enlist the help of the manager. Then, the grits came out hot. Sauce was tasty, as was meat. Bread could have been toasted longer. Attentive and responsive server made all the difference.

Delicious food. Good portions. Friendly staff. Only 'complaint' would be the wait time when plenty of tables were open, and another party that came in 15 minutes later than us, with the same amount of people as mine, we're seated right away. Other than that our server was very sweet.

Cat and Brittany at the Woodbridge were exceptional!! But the kitchen is a mess! We had issues with two meals. My mother in law’s French toast had a metal peice in the whipped cream, then the manager said it would only take a few mins for a new meal to come out and it took at least 10 minutes. Also they gave my the wrong eggs Benedict. But they did come out with the correct one. We were not charged for the dishes that were incorrect. The waitresses Cat and Brittany were awesome and took care of us wonderfully!!!!!

This food is the best breakfast restaurant on the East Coast period. Yes it take a while to get a seat but that is because of how good the food it creating long lines to get in. Be sure to get in line using their website before you go to the restaurant as that really does make a difference in the wait time. I have been to this restaurant about 2 dozen times in the last year. When I travel out of state I only eat breakfast at this chain.
