Menu and million dollar bloody Mary's
Kylie A.

If you're not starting your meal with the million dollar bacon then you are missing out! We came here for a delicious but lighter breakfast and truthfully it hit the spots. We joined the waitlist online to abate sitting in the line at the restaurant as sometimes they can have a longer wait time. We started with quick and friendly service by being greeted with smiling faces. Truthfully there are so many options to choose from that fill all the breakfast cravings from savory and salty to sweet and finger licking good. I usually get the Floridian French Toast but switched it up with the classic eggs Benedict. I've never had a bad breakfast here and truly enjoy each time I come!

This morning I met a good friend for breakfast . I suggested First Watch. I ordered this beautiful beverage ! PURPLE HAZE Lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender. Tasty ! Full of flavor . I sipped it to savor the layers of flavor . I had the Turkey sausage gravy and biscuits . Divine ! Our server was attentive , knowledgeable about the menu , and friendly .

Morning Meditation W/ Antioxidant Boost.

Nice atmosphere. Family friendly, great quality food, fresh ingredients and plenty of options. Service was good and no wait for bar seating. There is typically a little wait otherwise. They have a great birthday reward program also. I got the trifecta waffle, chicken sausage and eggs. The blueberry compote atop is delicious (served on side). The morning meditation drink was phenomenal. (Tumeric, ginger, orange, beet etc) with an antioxidant shot. I'd visit again.

ambiance is like any breakfast place, family friendly with country style decor. service was a little inconsistent with how long it took to take our orders then constant checking in after that. restaurant is usually busy since theyre only open til early afternoon. I got the seasonal pumpkin pancake breakfast and husband got tropical French toast. food was good, I always enjoy the seasonal things they have on menu. I didnt want the chicken sausage they had paired with my dish and asked for pork sausage...the server said they dont typically do that since the pork patties werent always available or on the menu....i thought that was really weird but she ended up subbing it. so service is a hit or miss here, other staff seemed very friendly. I really liked that let you pay at the table so no waiting in line or gaving to interact with pur server more than we had to after giving us our check.

Chickichanga with potatoes and fruit cup
Rebekah A.

Busy day here but, our large party was seated pretty quickly. Ordered off the spring menu and got the socal breakfast hash. It was very good and more than I could eat at one time. We also had the coffee(... a lot of it), which is good here. Overall great experience - kind waitress, clean restaurant, lots of options, everything came quickly and tasted as expected.

They are definitely busy but I did appreciate they put you on the waitlist and take your number so they can text when your table is ready. The menu is pretty extensive and they have seasonal items. I'm a class breakfast girlie (egg meat potatoes). I opted for the trifecta that allowed me to get most of what I wanted except the potatoes so I ordered that as a side. The scrambled eggs were light and fluffy. The chicken sausage had a good flavor. The trifecta also comes with either a pancake or waffle. I got the waffle that was the perfect balance of fluffy and crispy and came with what I think was a blue berry sauce which I enjoyed. The potatoes were well seasoned and crispy. I even loved their takeout box! Would recommend for brunch....something for everyone

Awesome eggs Benedict and pancakes are amazing as well. Super clean restaurant with excellent service and I always enjoy stopping in there when I'm in town.

Parents and I decided to dine here while they were visiting; we are all big into breakfast foods and having tried out First Watch in other states, we figured to give this location a try. The service was great & our waitress was very friendly; something that seems to be consistent among all First Watches I've been to. The menu were about the same, not sure if the seasonal entrees are shared amongst the chains, but the food was delicious. Now I'm a bigger eater and as breakfast foods are my favorite entrees to dine on, I ordered a lot. I got myself the wild berry lavender French toast, Lemon ricotta pancakes, side of potatoes, turkey sausage, 4 eggs, and biscuits with gravy. Yup, I was very full, but I finished everything because it was just that good! The lavender berry compote wasn't overly sweet. Spreading a little on your French toast like butter gave it the perfect balance; I can see overly applying would make it too sweet losing the taste of the French toast; same with the lemon ricotta onto the pancakes. The batter is great, the pancakes have a nice rich taste to it you don't want to dilute by over applying sweets. The biscuit was soft inside but has that crunchy texture outside the way I like it and all the sides I had were pretty good; can't go wrong with it and tasted the same as other chains I've dined in. There is a mobile order option and I've done that as well. Quick order to pick up turn around time so I didn't wait long at all. Dining in, the restaurant wasn't too noisy or crowded, but also I went early in the morning. They get packed real quick, so I recommend going for an early breakfast to beat the traffic, especially on the weekends.

When looking for a breakfast spot, First Watch is always a great choice. I have gone to this restaurant a number of times in the past month and every thing I go I get great service and good food. On the weekends, be sure to get on the waiting list because there's usually quite a wait.

Tacos Al pastor hash
Chris Y.

I've been here twice now on Sundays and it is always packed but we sit at the bar with no wait, and it seems those waiting for tables is relatively short. The menu is expansive with great seasonal menu items for both food and drinks. The million dollar bacon is a must and is especially good in the million dollar Bloody Mary. All the food has been phenomenal with the steak and bacon burrito being my favorite so far with just so much flavor. Th portions for everything are more than plenty and we've always left with a to go box.

SYRUUUUUUP!!!!!
Israel G.

Best syrup ever! They warm it up! Brought out promptly for subsequent taste testing of syrup quality.

Kevin H.

First Watch is my favorite brunch restaurant in Augusta. Food: My go to dish is the Tri-Fecta, the Belgian waffle is my favorite along with the house made preserves. The chicken sausage patties are delicious also. Service: The wait staff are generally friendly and accommodating even when the place is jammed packed. Ambiance: I enjoy the modern decor and the easy going vibe which adds to the overall experience.

Raspberry French Toast
Meghan B.

Perfect brunch spot! I got the Carne Asada Hash, the meat was a tad dry, but I still enjoyed it. My mom got the Raspberry Lemon Ricotta French Toast. That was fire. Service was great, very attentive! Would come back!

Bodega isn't going anywhere, I am. And as I begin the moving process I have created a mental list of places I will miss in the Augusta area. And trust me, I know all the places. Fancy, hole-in-the-wall, no online presence, hyper online presence. I know all about them. And Bodega has consistently been a go-to spot for me over the years. Typically it is a Sunday morning/early afternoon, with a cup of coffee, and about half the time a soft shelled crab sandwich. Every other time, I throw caution to the wind. Could be a biscuit. Could be a pulled pork sandwich or The Lox. Who knows. But here's what I do know. The service, ambiance, and quality of what I order is always always at a level of excellence. And where else can you interact with the furry team member (Ash) as part of the experience? Such a relaxing spot, with the ceiling fans cooling you off (and the table fans keeping flies at bay) and the fountain trickling in the background. Please, if you are in the area be sure to go by and make up for my absence!

We all stayed in the hotel, and she made it possible for us to rent a room to gather in during the day and evening. Such a wonderful person. Mr. Harvey checked us in and out and he was so informative and helpful. Boy, he sure can multitask - running two computers at once! Then there was Ms. Nikki and Ms. Kayla for breakfast. Such good customer service puts a smile on everyone's face. And those grits! What can I say? They speak for themselves. Then for dinner we split up with a table of twelve and a table of eleven. Mr. Steven the restaurant manager made the reservation go so well with such a large group. And there was even another event going on. Talk about being on point. Ms. LaShun was our waitress.

The beds are so comfortable you can't help get a good night's sleep, and the hotel is so unique with its history displaced in different areas. Another thing I noticed is that they are very good on the upkeep of the hotel. I would also like to thank the housekeepers that keep the rooms clean. We didn't need service during our stay, but I wanted to mention how clean our room (#334) was when we arrived. Thank you very much for a job well done. We plan on coming back in June and can't wait.

I had the banana nut waffle (delicious!) with a side of bacon, my husband had a strawberry waffle with eggs, bacon, and hash browns. He cleaned his plate (he doesn't often do this), and my waffle was so big I couldn't finish! We thought the service staff were welcoming and attentive. I was surprised that there weren't more people at the restaurant, given that we went on a Monday and many places aren't open then.

Our server was incredibly sweet, and we felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. Because every dish is made from scratch to ensure freshness, be prepared for a bit of a wait. We also had to make some adjustments to our initial order because a few items were unavailable, but we still ended up with a solid meal. My girlfriend had the turkey bacon, the COE cakes (which are delicious hash browns), and the classic sweet waffles. I went with the beef quesadilla and the classic lemonade, which comes with free refills. The quesadilla was a great choice and the hash browns were very tasty. The waffle had a great flavor and was nice and soft, though it was served a bit cold. One thing to keep in mind is the presentation; the food is served on plastic plates with plastic silverware. While we tried not to let that affect our judgment since we were there for the food, presentation does eventually matter. Also, the temperature inside was a little warmer than I'd like--it was about 58 degrees outside, but that coolness definitely didn't translate to the dining room. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it was noticeable. The most important thing to know before you go is that they only accept cash tips. It's a bit of a strange policy in this day and age since most people don't carry cash, especially when you're already using plasticware for the meal. They do have CashApp if you think to ask, but it's easy to forget if you aren't prepared. I really hope the staff is being taken care of if people forget their cash! Overall, the food was good, the service was great, and I didn't feel like my time was wasted. It's a nice local spot for a fresh, handmade breakfast

Overall great restaurant that we will be sure to come back to for a nice brunch in the future.
