Corner of Lorraine and 70.
William C.

I know that I'm the outlier here but I can't find many things on the menu to my tastes. The few things I'm interested in are really good. The Chickichanga (breakfast enchiladas) is fantastic. The pancakes are really good but just a little bit "doughy" for my liking. I'm a traditional breakfast kinda guy. Most of the breakfast entrees here have mushrooms or basil or pineapple or kale or whatever doesn't usually go in the recipe. This location is geographically desirable for me so I'm going to keep going back to figure out what I will eat or what I can order without the "extras". The service is outstanding and the quality of the food is equally good. It's just the style I'm turned off by. I'm hoping I can update my review in the near future.

Runny eggs, burned sausage patty and cold potatoes.

Food was unacceptable as I didn't get what I ordered. Asked for well done eggs and got over easy with slimy white and slimy yolks. Chicken sausage was burned to a crisp while potatoes were served cold. I just ate my toast and called it a day NEVER to return. We were very displeased. Our server was good but the kitchen was so behind that we had to wait 20 minutes for our meals to be delivered

Wow! A new breakfast/ brunch place has arrived, to open May 6th. We were invited to their soft opening, which was such a great experience! The location is 70 @ Lorraine, which used to be Nancy's BBQ- such a beautiful renovation! We were greeted at the door by Luis, the manager, and promptly seated. The outside is lovely, but too humid of a day for most, so many were inside at the. Booths and tables. There is a nice bar inside which is great for a solo guest or a quick meal, which has a window that passes to the outside area bar seating too. There is ample shaded seating outside,as well. The specials are listed on a chalk board, which was a power bowl, fresh squeezed lavender juice mixture and their special bacon. They also have quite an assortment of fresh squeezed juices. The menu is breakfast on one side and brunch/lunch on the backside. Mesha, was our lovely and most efficient server, who came over with a fresh pot of coffee. I chose the traditional, which includes 2 eggs, choice of meats, potato's and their iconic artisan toast wedges. I traded the toast for an English muffin, fruit instead of the potatoes, and chicken sausage for my meat, my husband selected the trifecta, which subs out a large pancake of choice ( multigrain, blueberry or chocolate chip) Ior a Belgian waffle. I also selected a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. The meal came, in a fast pace and 5 stars on hot, presentation & perfect as ordered for both of us!! The eggs were delicious, chicken sausage large 2 links were soft and yummy, English muffin toasted perfectly, fresh strawberry jam, fruit was sweet & ripe- a mixture of pineapple, honeydew & cantaloupe. My husband also raved about his meal, his multigrain pancake was large & fluffy! It didn't have a multigrain dry texture that he projected, and was quite pleased! The small oj was delicious and ample sized. They also have a nice jug of water for the table, upon request. The coffee carafe, is also left at your table for refills. The servers have great teamwork- Randall, another server, walked over to ask if he could clear a plate- such a nice young man with a great personality, as our server, Mesha had! We now have another great, close breakfast/brunch spot in Lakewood Ranch!! You can join the waitlist, on your app, to shorten your wait time!!

Whenever I'm in Florida , I have at least one breakfast at First Watch. Today, I ordered my favorite elevated egg sandwich. It's simply an egg, bacon, avocado, gruyère cheese, and lemon dressed argula. The seasoned potatoes completed the meal perfectly. I did order takeout. However, I admired the huge patio and bar area equipped with large fans to keep you cool in the hot Florida sun.

Dirty cup.

Pancakes to go came with no syrup or butter on the side. Very disappointing when you order lunch for work for yourself and co workers.
