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!

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.

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

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!

When we walked in the restaurant looked clean, open and inviting, but temp was super cold. Was sat, the server took care of tables around us, welcomed us and took our order promptly. Hot drink came to table room temperature, asked for her to take back with the dirty water glasses. Cake back with cold hot cocoa again, didn't bother asking for another hot one, as the server NEVER came back to check on us. Another server brought out our food.... Eggs on both my husband and my plate were cold, not even the slightest bit warm. Toast wasn't toasted, we got buttered bread. I was running late so I only ate the middle of my omlet. This place is terrible and I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone. I've been to other First Watch indifferent cities that have been great, with equally great service .... I can't say it for this one. No stars, only giving one star because it's my only option.

Great service, nice lunch. My first time dining here, but not a place I would think of when choosing a restaurant to eat at. However I did enjoy my half sandwich (Ham & Gruyère) and salad (sweet honey pecan) and would recommend First watch over other sandwich and salad places.

Bacado

OMG! I got the Bacado! Delicious!!!!! Service was super quick and super nice even though it was packed! Super busy and the wait wasn't too long. Love the way the restaurant is set up! Super cool vibes! And delicious!

MORNING MEDITATION JUICE fresh and yummy!

Food is always good but it does take longer than usual for the food to arrive. Don't be in a hurry. Relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

Got the last table for brunch. Our rez through Open Table got lost in the ether but they honored…read moreit. The restaurant is in an old, lovely Victorian house that includes a boutique hotel and spa. Small dining rooms and a large outdoor patio for dining. Started with two specialty cocktail, both large but not overly strong. Began with salads. Both the beet salad and the burrata salads were tasty and large. Salmon Benedict was two pieces of filet on oversized English muffin, well prepared with side of potatoes. Crabcake Benedict was served sans muffin. Same side of potatoes. Dessert was a slice of lemoncello cake and coffee. Cake was terrific, very subtle flavors. Great place for celebratory meal.

My aunt suggested this cute spot for my birthday lunch and it did not disappoint! It's in a cute…read more Victorian inn and the dining area is adorable. Our server was great and very friendly. The menu had brunch and lunch options and everything sounded so good it was hard to choose. We ended up sharing the burrata salad with grilled peaches and they split it onto two plates for us. It was SO good! We both got the salmon Benedict and I loved mine. The salmon was cooked perfectly as was the egg and the hollandaise was delish. The potatoes were typical breakfast potatoes but they were good. For my birthday they let me choose any dessert and the limoncello cake was absolutely perfect. Lemony and tart with creamy frosting, I would go back just for that!! I definitely recommend this place for brunch!
