    Pepperoni and burrata

    Finally dinning at this local restaurant. We had a great experience going for first time at dinner time. Service was attentive and server was helpful with suggestions; kitchen ran out of an ingredient,server informed we could not get the "honey boo-boo" pizza, we ordered a different option and it was great. Pretty good prices; the feel of the restyled was very homey and local, kind of old looking, but that what made the dining experience enjoyable, and already looking forward to go back.

    I ordered 3 French toast today and a western omelette for my family for breakfast. The prices here are reasonable for the portions you receive. The staff continues to be friendly and give good service. The breakfast seems to be our favorite here. They forgot my toast today and it is disappointing.

    The Honeymoon pie

    Had a wonderful dinner here Saturday, August 30! The pizza was absolutely delicious, the garlic knots were hot, fresh and full of flavor, and the fries were crispy and full bodied! The service was friendly and efficient, and the price was very reasonable! Will absolutely be back!

    Pepperoni and sausage pizza

    Food was great. I had the breakfast eggs, bacon potatoes and toast. I also had a slice of pepperoni and sausage pizza. I would have to say it was one of the best around this area. Service was outstanding. The ladies who work there were very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. The ambiance was old school cafe. Oh and the biscuits and gravy were spot on!

    Small town feel for a country kitchen restaurant. Small space but with the food. Service is fast.

    As someone who hasn't been to breakfast in the longest time, THIS HIT THE SPOT! Michelle was giving…read moreus the best recommendations and great service, the blueberry lemon cornbread was TO DIE FOR!

    Greeted at entrance and held door open for us (I'm on a Rollator so very pleasant experience upon…read morearrival that I rarely experience.) Seated quickly and server was there in under one minute and gave us a bottomless pot of coffee and brought Splenda (which is not on table.). My wife ordered avocado tacos and said they were excellent. Her grits were excellent! My food however was not great. Ordered beef hash and eggs. I really wanted corned beef hash but not on menu. Beef chunks, what few there were, were actually cold as in right out of refrigerator cold while all the other ingredients were just right so it's like they tossed them in at last minute with no time to warm up! Overall it was very heavily seasoned and after a few bites I lost my appetite. Way too salty too. Again the grits I ordered on side were excellent. I took 3/4 of my meal home to try to eat later and perhaps add some corned beef hash to but haven't had the desire to finish yet after two days so likely I won't eat it. Something about the seasoning and overly salted that didn't sit well with me. Overall this is a very pleasant upscale restaurant but there are zero bargains on menu ($54 with tip for 2 people for breakfast = very high IMHO.) Music was a bit loud as we were almost directly under and between two speakers. Could just be me but I can't see any need for high volume music in such a nice restaurant. Perhaps when it's busy it helps with the overall din? Checkout was super easy with QR code but I dislike the 18% low end suggested gratuity. Let me decide. I know there is a customized tip capability but 15 vs 20 should suffice. Less for poor service which I doubt you will get at First Watch. However I cannot ever recall in my 76 years tipping any server more than 20%. Overall the food selection is fairly non-traditional and limited. 1 pancake is $9. Seriously WHO orders just one pancake? If one goes to Cracker Barrel you can get 3 pancakes, a meat and two eggs for a buck more. And delicious. This place is definitely more upscale but honestly it's about the food, right? I prefer good tasting food vs upscale so likely we won't return (but man those yellow grits with a big scoop of butter on top were delicious - better than Cracker Barrel for sure!). If I should ever return I'm ordering two sides of grits (or a big bowl) and that's it! Out for under $8 + coffee. Not sure how this chain will survive but if I were the operations manager I'd find a few menu items to sprinkle in that appeal to us tightwads, with hope some will order the higher priced offerings. A very basic pancakes, eggs and meat for ~$10 would get my attention. Almost all their menu items were in the $14-16 range which is like dining in the big city. Too much for Fredericksburg I'm afraid. It's not that we can't afford First Watch, it's that First Watch's (2 of them) are out of their element here. I wish 'em luck but fear, like the past tenants in that building, they won't make it unless they can find a menu that packs people in 7 days a week. There were probably only 4 tables occupied during our Tuesday at 11am visit. My father owned/managed several restaurants growing up and he always said you can put a restaurant in a barn in a cornfield 20 miles from no where but if the food is excellent and price is fair the public will beat a path to your door every day! He was right.
