    Everything was good, and the kids menu was quite impressive.
    Walter R.

    Light, bright, inviting, down home country style ambience. Service was friendly, and fast. We were there for brunch, and the kids menu was a good selection of items, and NOT just chicken nuggets like many other restaurants. My omelette was a generous size, and full of flavor, and easily rivaled more expensive brunch places. I was visiting this area for the first time, and I, and all of my guests, had a great meal, and I will surely come back on my next Layton area visit.

    I've been back several times recently for lunch takeout when I've been running late to work and don't have any time to cook. I will say Black Bear Diner has the best sandwiches that come with a side of your choice for the most reasonable prices compared to other competitors. Their sourdough bread is simply divine and always very fresh. My latest sandwiches were the BLT (which is just your basic bacon, lettuce, and tomato). It's a decent price that came with a generous portion of fries (you can choose a different side if you'd like). Very fresh, crispy, and cooked perfectly. Also tried their Turkey Club along with their soup of the day. Turkey Club is filled abundantly but I think I'll stick to the Chicken Avocado Club next time for more ingredients at the same price. Soup of the day was very fresh and filling. Came in a sturdy secure plastic container along with saltine crackers which was a nice surprise. They are excellent on including condiments and utensils if requested. Very happy with all my recent visits to Black Bear Diner and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

    We love to come eat brunch on their patio. For some reason a lot of people don't like to eat outside, so we always get right in. Service is fast and good! And all the food is usually great!

    Great service/Comfortable atmosphere / the food fresh and plentiful! Definitely people know about it because there is a line and await on the weekends

    Taco salad for breakfast!

    Probably my 4th or 5th time here. Completely new wait staff, I assume also new kitchen staff and management too. The store owner should dump them all, shut the place down for a month to hire and train an entirely new team. Took ridiculously long for our order to arrive. I ordered the breakfast chicken fried steak, I got something completely different. My wife and I were both supposed to get pancakes with our order, they never came. Coffee was barely warm and gross. Very disappointing.

    I want to know.. why, if the little less dinners are touted as smaller full course homestyle meal, why, I was denied my salad and cornbread muffin? No where does it say 'for an additional cost' until you click on the item? Why would you be charging for soup or salad anyways when it clearly says starts with soup or salad and a muffin? Is this a bait and switch going on? Your employees were wrong when they tried to argue with me. They were even more wrong giving me an incomplete order.

    See, a lot of it!!

We were able to order shortly after we were seated and our server brought our scones with honey butter to eat while we were waiting for our food. Which arrived shortly after that. We hadn't been in for several years and were very happy with everything we had. I had chicken fried steak, which was very good and the side of hash browns were just the right amount of crispy. My husband had a ham and cheese omelet with hash browns, which he enjoyed as well. He also ordered a sweet roll the size of a dinner plate and was covered in an ample amount of good-flavored frosting. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and won't wait as long to go back again!

I was a bit short on time, so I chose some empanadas and some pastries to go. I tried the chicken, beef, and ham & cheese, which were all delicious.

    Went to First Watch in Layton for breakfast today. It was very busy but the wait was less than 15…read moreminutes. Parking can be a little challenging but we got a spot pretty quickly. We ordered a blueberry cornbread with lemon butter off the seasonal menu, and it was very good. I'm impressed at how well the combination went together. With that said, the cornbread could have been a little hotter. The main entrees were a steak hash also off the seasonal menu and an original breakfast. I have to say the steak cash was really good. Had a chimichurri on it and another sauce that went very well with a decent amount of meat and more than enough potatoes and other ingredients. The original breakfast was scrambled eggs with some cheese on it, potatoes and bacon. Again everything was very good. They have a line of fresh juices available none of which we tried but they do serve Coke products. All in all, while I'm not really big on chain restaurants, I would definitely go back here multiple times to try different things off the menu.

    After seven visits, I feel like I've given First Watch a fair shot, and there's a lot to like…read more The food is a step above your typical breakfast spot, the atmosphere is bright and inviting, and the staff is consistently friendly. It wants to be a great go-to brunch place. But what's holding it back is a pattern of "good enough" execution, some gaps in table awareness, and either front to back with house, communication, or staff education. A few examples: - I've ordered eggs "well done with fully set whites," five times Three times the whites came out runny. - One visit, a large amount of water was spilled on our table when drinks were delivered. It sat there soaking menus and making it awkward to even rest your arms until I finally grabbed paper towels from the restroom and handled it myself. - Another time, a drink was served with liquid running down the side of the glass and then spilled a little more when placed on the table, leaving the table sticky. Same outcome, same self-service cleanup. None of these are huge issues individually, but together, they start to feel like a training and attentiveness gap. On the menu side, some of the bowls (especially quinoa or potato-based ones) feel a little unbalanced--heavy on the base, light on the toppings--so you end up wishing for more substance beyond the filler. Even small details, like the overly aggressive spray nozzles in the restroom sinks, make basic things like washing your hands more frustrating than they should be. Bottom line: First Watch has all the ingredients to be excellent, but right now it's settling for "pretty good." Tighten up execution, table care, and change base to mix-in ratios, and this could easily move into top-tier brunch territory.

When we finally got our food they were told that there was some sort of a mix up with the online orders... We didn't place an online order. We ordered and paid for in person and we still were there for more than an hour waiting. Once we were finally able to eat, the food tasted good, but not good enough for two overpriced burgers, some cold fries and onion rings and a small shake that cost almost $50 for the two of us and a not great customer service experience. I'm hoping this is an isolated experience as I like to support local businesses and would like to give them another chance sometime but not sure when.

    On the first day of 2026, my wife and I decided to venture out and try something new…read more A random recommendation from YELP popped up on her phone. Keeping with a couple criteria, an untried venue, check! Food, (most importantly) check! and nearby, check! We decided to throw on some foot covers and head out the door. A quick jaunt and we'd arrived. Super easy to find even though it isn't street facing. Expecting it to be bustling with NYE recovery folks, we were surprised to find a quiet establishment that had two other patrons. Quickly I grabbed up a menu and we were immediately greeted with a friendly "Good Morning" from a very energetic and enjoyable young man. We sat and perused the menu. Talking over what we wanted vs what we should have. It took less time to make our decision for our order than most food stops in our past. I ordered the Mortician with Pepper Jack instead of the American Cheese it was paired with. Our order taker guy, (also the energetic greeter) inquired if I wanted to make it a double. I answered to the affirmative, (with a sheepish smile on my face). My wife conservatively ordered the Thursday Special, consisting of the Morty's Iconic Cheeseburger and fries. After paying and sitting down, our once greeter/order taker now waiter guy appeared with a large bottle of pour-it-yourself Fry Sauce and a handful of napkins. I looked over the sauce and quickly realized I hadn't ordered the Onion Rings that I wanted to try. I quickly mentioned to our greeter/order taker/waiter guy before he disappeared behind the kitchen doors that I needed the onion rings. With a smile and a thumbs up he said, I gotchu. I asked if there was a separate charge and stood up to pay. He quickly interrupted my advancement with an outstretched hand and a more pronounced, I Got You. This, of course was not my intention to get free stuffs but I was pleased just the same. My wife quickly grabbed some loose cash from her purse and added it to their tip jar. Thanks Babe! Once again you show me one of the many reasons for my affection toward you! We sat and did some chit-chat, continuing conversations from earlier that day. Sooner than expected, our food shows up, piled high and filling the plates with our side orders, (see photos). I literally had to take off the onion rings that were part of the sandwich makeup to even consider the possibility of moving the Mortician into my mouth, (TWSS! ...if you know, you know). Im finding this experience difficult to put into words. So, I'll sum it up. Delicious and juicy and fantastic! For once, outside of a homegrown burger, I'm able to enjoy the separate flavorings of Bacon, Beef, (which I think is marinated), the jalapeño and the pastrami as well as the aioli. After a quick drink to cleanse my palette, I grabbed up an Onion Ring. I paused to reflect on my existence and quietly muttered, this is really good! Crispy beyond any previous onion ring order from any of the, what could be hundreds of orders of rings during my 59 years, and delicious. I savored every bite, licked my fingers, and made happy "mmm mmm" sounds as I partook of this fine deliciousness. We finished everything! Talked about how this particular Morty's has now been labeled a family staple. Our experience is not just made up from the delicious food, friendly atmosphere, free onion rings, and did I mention the delicious food?, no. It's all of these as a whole, bigger experience, making it a unique and favorite beginning to a new year. Thanks to you, Morty's and our favorite greeter/order taker/waiter/I gotchu guy, we both are still smiling from our visit. Thank you for the excellent experience. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Everything comes out fairly quick for all being house-made from scratch. The meals are flavorful and great. There isn't anything on this menu that stands out, everything seems pretty standard for a nice Italian place. Our bread and salad starter were great and we cleared those quick ! I chose the chicken parmigiana and found the marinara sauce to be a bit watery/bland in taste. My chicken was a bit dry so perhaps a bit overcooked. The alfredo that came with it was DELICIOUS, perfectly creamy. However...can I justify $30 for the plate ? No. My boyfriend's spicy sausage a la vodka pasta was delicious but again, the red sauce was lack luster for me. It's almost like it was lacking tomato paste and garlic ? The potato side was delicious and surprisingly large for the price ! The aioli that came with it was great in flavor as well. We finished our meal with a creme brulee. It was perfectly torched and the creme itself was delicious and perfectly chilled. The strawberry was a bit sour for my liking, especially for coming with an expensive dessert. But this dessert was one of my highlights of the meal. Although a nice once-off meal, I find Bartolo's to be pretty overpriced, even for delicious italian dishes. I have had ruth's chris meals for this price and understood why it was priced the way it was.
