First Watch

This place was phenomenal! I can honestly say this is one of the best brunches I’ve tried in the city of Atlanta. The drink menu was really cool, and the food was absolutely delicious. Make sure to give the cinnamon toast cereal milk a try! The staff here was really great & offered suggestions from the menu. I’d love to come back & try this place again.

This is a Breakfast-Brunch place. Very little "Lunch" options. Environment has a farmhouse vibe. Don't understand the doors hanging from the ceiling look... They have spiked drinks and natural juices. Cage free eggs, fresh fruit and bread. $10-$20 per person. I recommend the Farmhouse Hash Skillet. Staff was nice but were not attentive. Food quality was great and consistent with other locations. Clean and they accept online orders and virtual payments.

Plenty of parking by the restaurant. Staff wore masks but no social distancing inside. Only indoor seating available. Went for lunch on a weekday and was seated right away. Service was a bit slow. Cinnamon toast cereal milk: very milky, hint of coffee flavor, almost no alcohol taste at all. I also did the pick 2. Chicken avocado chop: very refreshing tasting. Wish there was a little more chicken. Soup of the day, which was vegetable soup: just a standard vegetable soup, nicely seasoned, I did appreciate that it was still slightly warm when it was brought out. Overall a nice spot for breakfast and/or brunch. You can go shopping afterwards in the same plaza too!

Been eating at this location for a few years now and decided it was time to post a review. Normally my wife and I get the breakfast dishes. They are excellent, tasty and filling. Service was prompt and attentive. These are trying times in the food service industry, cut these folks some slack and tip extra if you are able!

Had a nice time checking out this First Watch with the wife for the first time. Never had carrot cake pecan pancakes before and it didn’t disappoint. We ordered an extra one to go for the kids since it was so good! Also tried the cheese grits and one of the specialty drinks called Morning Meditation. Don’t let the inclusion of beets scare you.. it was very tasty 👍🏾

Review changed from 5 to 3 stars. The food and servers are always great and the food definitely taste better as dine-in. But with the pandemic, I’ve done more take-out to be healthier. Usually, my order is prepared and packaged correctly (stapled bag) but a week ago, it was missing 2 items. As it goes, my son brought the food home and we didn’t realize the error until after he had arrived home. I called the location to report the error, and after a debate with the person on the phone and another person in the background, I drove back. While on the phone, the person in the background insisted that the order was checked and packaged correctly b4 pickup, and also stated that I (the caller) was lying. Finally, it was then offered that I drive back to get the missing items. Lying? Why would I really want to cheat First Watch out of 2 waffles that I paid for. Why would I want to drive unnecessarily back a whole 10-15 mins to get two free (missing) waffles while the rest of my family waited to eat, all while the packaged food is now cold food. Cold breakfast food; eggs, pancakes, etc. isn’t very tasty. For the phone debate, attitude, and my having to drive back to get something the restaurant did in error. My typical 5 star review is now 3 stars.

Food is awesome; servers are great! The male Manager is not very flexible and polite-maybe the Hispanic girl (Sorry I forgot her name but she made people feel welcomed and special.) in the restaurant should replace him. I wonder why the outdoor place is open ONLY when the district manager came visit in cold Nov., but not open in warm April. If it’s short staff, hire more people. Waiting for 70 min to get the food isn’t the best experience. We used to love this place for the record. Not anymore.
