Farmhouse Hash Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos
Jennifer J.

I enjoy coming here for their farmhouse breakfast and ambience. My boyfriend got the Farm stand breakfast tacos, which was pretty yummy. He also ordered the mimosa, which was on the pricy side at $9. My usual go-to is the biscuit and and turkey sausage, but I decided to order the Farmhouse hash this time and it was delicious. I just wish the bread was toasted a bit, but other than that the roasted tomatoes, bacon and potatoes, well, pretty much everything on the plate meshed real well with each other and had really good flavors. Definitely ordering it again next time I visit! We also, ended our time there with the salted caramel cookies you get at the register, which was yummy!

Loved this spot! Great food options, warm employees who are happy to answer questions, and great spacious seating with an abundance of good lighting. They offer seasonal mini menus - sadly the blueberry corn bread was sold out, but it sounded great. Ordered the breakfast bowl with almond toast and chia seed coconut milk pudding with fresh strawberries, blueberries and bananas. It was so yummy!!! Had a blueberry jam at the bottom and granola. Also grabbed kale drink to go! Only sad part was they don't have decaf iced coffee, but many different options available. Highly recommend!!

I come to this place every time I'm in the south! It's such a basic breakfast place but I love it! The people are always kind, the food is always hot and the drinks never fail! I really wish they had them other places but it's a fun treat when I'm down there! They also always have good meat options for folks who don't always want a heavy red meat. Love this place!

Kale Tonic after I asked for less ice
Tammy M.

First Watch is probably one of the better breakfast places when you're looking for something higher quality than spots like Waffle House or Denny's. The food is generally healthier, better tasting, and they use real eggs. However, the consistency of both the food and the customer service at this specific location has been horrible. Today was the final straw. I spent nearly $25 on breakfast, including a drink that costs almost $6 (if not more). I ordered the chimichurri steak hash, and the steak tasted very low quality. On top of that, every time I order this $6 drink, I take a few sips and it's gone--mostly because the cup is filled with ice. So this time, I asked for half the amount of ice they normally put in it. When I received my to-go order, they handed me two cups, which is what's shown in the photo. I looked confused, and the employee explained that moving forward, if I don't ask for ice, this is how they have to serve it. What this really highlights is that the amount of tonic you're actually getting fits into a small cup, but they use a larger cup and fill it with ice to justify the $6 price. If that's the case, why not just sell it in the smaller cup for $3 and change? Half ice and half tonic for $6 makes no sense--especially in the economy we're currently in, with food prices continuing to rise. For $6, I can make my own tonic at home that would last me a week. Despite all the negative experiences I've had at this location, I continued to go back because I enjoy their pressed juices and some of their seasonal specials. But this situation--having to argue over what I'm paying for and walking out with two cups--was ridiculous. This was officially my last visit to First Watch. It's not worth the frustration. I wish them luck surviving this economy, but if they don't tighten things up, they won't.

Bacado® Omelet

Chef's kiss! No notes!!! The food, service, and atmosphere is always perfect! Side note you have to try the million dollar bacon. Thank me later

Very affordable breakfast and good value ($35 for 2 entrees)! Classic breakfast was fine, soft scramble was more like a regular scramble, potatoes could have been crispier but fine overall. A little bit of a wait (about 30 mins) but no big deal. Lemon ricotta pancakes were good too!

I'd rate our visit a 4.5 out of 5. We tried the traditional breakfast, strawberry tres leches, the trifecta, an omelet, and the purple haze drinks--everything was at least an 8 out of 10. The potatoes are definitely a highlight. The only downside was the service; it was just okay, and we had to ask other staff for things we needed, which is why I'm taking off half a point.

Soup of the day with Ham & Gruyere Melt

It was a wonderful experience and had the best food the waitress was nice and it had a nice ambiance

I really be here for their juices & coffee lol. We love their morning glory drink & the kale tonic. The food & service is good at this location. It does get busy on weekends though. They have indoor & outdoor seating. It was such a beautiful morning yesterday we sat outside.

Cinnamon Chip Pancake... mmm mmmm mmm

Really good food and well priced not too expensive so great value. Staff was very attentive and kind. Great spot for brunch for sure.

Smoked Salmon Frittata, The Works Omelette, Gluten-Free Floridian French Toast
Desiree R.

My friend and I went to First Watch yesterday for a filling breakfast before a tattoo appointment. We joined the waitlist on our way there and were quickly seated as soon as we arrived. i was happy to know that most of their items are Gluten-Free naturally and they could do Gluten-Free French Toast! Everything was so good, i especially loved the Morning Meditation juice and The Works Omelette. Our food came out incredibly quick and our server was very attentive! The restaurant was pretty busy when we got there, but it didn't feel too crowded. We will be back!

We stopped at Lazy Dog in Arlington in the middle of a long road trip home from vacation to meet up…read morewith a friend who lives in the area. We had our Doberman, Duke, with us, and unfortunately it happened to be a rainy day. The staff absolutely went above and beyond for us. They actually brought out a tent and set it up on the patio so we could stay dry and Duke could join us for our meal. That kind of thoughtfulness and hospitality is rare, and that alone would have earned my gratitude and loyalty. On top of that, the food was outstanding. I had the Bibimbap Bowl, and my fiancée had the Loco Moco Bowl, and both were excellent. What could have been just a convenient place to meet a friend turned into one of the more memorable meals of our trip. Huge thanks to the staff for making such an effort to accommodate us and Duke. We'll absolutely make a point of coming back whenever we're in the Arlington area.

Met a friend to eat dinner and we had a wonderful evening. Our server was nice and attentive. We…read moregot exactly what we ordered and it was hot and fresh!! I ordered fish & chips (without coleslaw) extra lemon and Cajun fries with regular ranch... best fish & chips is town IMO!! She ordered the chicken shawarma salad wrap. She really enjoyed the wrap and had enough to take home as leftovers. We appreciated the comfortable booth that was a little more quiet to so could talk and catchup on each other's lives.
