    BLT Eggs Benedict
    Jeff J.

    The BLT Eggs Benedict was pretty good but they really skimp on the avocado and load it up with pounds of arugula. My service was friendly and efficient. The curly headed male host with the 80s porn star mustache should really invest in a lint roller to get all the dog hair off his T-shirt. It's not a good look for guests the minute they walk in the door. He was, however, pleasant to deal with.

    Tacos!! And peep the cornbread in the background! So good!!!

    Our service was great, seated immediately, very friendly staff! Food was delicious!!!!! Good music playing lightly in the background! Kid friendly too, everyone was sweet to our toddler who can be loud at times. See pics of the deliciousness!!!!!

    Chili chorizo omelet with potatoes. Grade was 4.5/5

    Service was excellent. Place is cute and very clean! Food was good but pricey for breakfast. Have to wait 15 min+ for table on weekend mornings. Worst issue was noticed at end of my meal. In a booth by the window, a couple of big drips from the ceiling hit the table area where my drinks sat that I had already finished. Turns out they know they have a leaky AC vent in ceiling right above the table. Staff told me they are aware and corporate sent AC company out but they claimed it was best they could do! Not acceptable!!! I'm left wondering how much AC drip I consumed in my Meditation Beet-OJ drink. The ceiling tile has water stain. They could add a vent fan in the attic or try other fixes. The staff says it's up to corporate. Well, CORPORATE, fix your leaky AC before someone reports you to the state for contaminated food. This place seems to work hard and they deserve better corporate support!!!

    Loveee their Benedict ! The yolk broke on its way, but it was so amazing that I did not even care. The service is always impeccable and the food is always amazing but the Benedict is especially my favorite.

    I really love First Watch!! I live right next door to this location so I do a pickup order every now and then but I finally was able to come in and sit and have brunch with my sister for our birthday. They did not disappoint. Everything was flavorful and our server was great. The place wasnt too crowded and the restaurant was clean and well kept. I will continue to eat here I definitely recommend.

    The food here is AMAZING!! Their fresh juice is always fantastic. The summer seasonal menu is the absolute best! Strawberry tres leches French toast is the stuff dreams are made of! Put your name on the waitlist to avoid a long wait time.

    WOW. JUST GO. SERIOUSLY. Go right now. Get in your car and drive to this amazing place. What? It's closed today? Meh. Who cares? Stay anyway. Sleep in your car and get in line for the opening tomorrow morning. Yes. It is THAT good. There really are no words to adequately describe the delectable-ness (yes, I realize that's not a word, but I'm using it to further illustrate my point) of the food that is served here. I would recommend any of their Hash meals. I had the Market Hash and was instantly in love (pictured). My parents also each got a different type of Hash. They loved theirs as well. I cannot wait to return to this place!

They also have some half-price appetizers during that time. We were promptly seated, didn't have a weight. This is my first time at this location. I had been to the one in Alabaster and Hoover location, but not this location. Our server's name is Shellee. She said it was her second shift. I never would've known unless she told me she was extremely attentive and friendly. We both started off with the perfect margarita on the rocks. We each had two of them. They were so delicious. I believe she said the bartender's name was Kasey. She definitely did a great job on those drink. We had a pretzel and beer cheese appetizer to start with which was very delicious and was recommended by the server. For dinner, I have the buffalo chicken wrap and my partner had the ribs. We were both happy with our meals. I did visit the bathroom and it was very clean. It definitely is one of the bigger locations I will definitely be back here again

My youngest and I ordered the following: Southwest egg rolls: 8/10 very good 6oz sirloin: 8/10 very good Rickhouse Ribeye (cowboy style): 10/10 very good quality steak and flavor. The cowboy still just enhanced things even more. Highly recommend Potato salad: 7/10 not bad at all. My ribeye medium was so good my daughter no longer wants her steaks well done... I almost a shed a tear to this news. Amen.

The bartenders were and always are friendly and efficient, you wait for nothing. It appears I will be in this area weekly for some time to come. The way things worked out, this trip was supposed to be a quick-short stop. So we got the bar and couple cocktails to finish up our day. Seeing a couple appetizers being passed near...and after a couple Good People Snake Handlers, they were looking really good. The Back 40 Brewery Man was onsite giving samples. So one of my group broke with leaving quickly and ordered what I think is some of the best fried alligator I have ever eaten. So after a couple of fingers of good Scotch, we all sampled a cup of Red-Beans and Rice. Delicious I had to leave and got a couple of these signature burgers to go. I got the double bacon cheeseburger & Hangover Burger all the way this. These were both delicious

Needless to say that drink is about 16oz and will knock you on your tail if you are a light weight!!

The food here is always good and the staff is very attentive.. great place to eat on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon!! Highly recommended!!!
