    Frittata Rustica with cheese Grits
    Kamilia L.

    Easy brunch, fantastic service, and delicious options. Definitely quicker than most locations. I try something new everytime and its always delicious.

    Flavorful menu selections, service was very personable, friendly and attentive. They sell their own brand of coffee strong and tasty. Funny we have seen them in 6 states we have lived and quality go beyound statelines glad to see their close by.

    Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast comes with eggs & chicken apple sausage
    Kyshia M.

    I'm so glad I stopped here for breakfast because everything was AMAZING! Luckily I got here ahead of the crowd and was able to snag a seat at the bar. For my drink I ordered the Morning Meditation Juice and it's fresh squeezed!!! It comes with orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beet. So good and freshing! For my meal I decided to stick with the fall theme and get the pumpkin pancake meal which comes with eggs & chicken apple sausage. I ordered my eggs fried hard. The chicken apple sausage was a delight! I like how it's not the traditional link sausage everyone else uses and it had herbs in it. It was in a patty form and you get 2. it tasted like it was made in-house. The pumpkin pancake was light, fluffy inside with a crisp edge. The size is a large round so although it only came with one, it was all I needed. Needless to say I scraped the plate and had not one crumb left. I really like how the syrup is served warm! I'm not sure about their other locations but this one is one I'd come back to for sure. The payment method is easy too! I was able to scan the QR & pay with apple pay. No need to wait for your card & have to sign! I wish more places did that.

    Great breakfast spot, you can never go wrong! It was clean and the food was delish!! Our waitress seemed like she didn't have her morning cup of tea

    Avocado Toast
    Ray V.

    I use to order breakfast here if not daily every other day to-go. The only problem was I would always find lettuce in the A.M. Superfoods Bowl. I mention to them once that this keeps happening, but that didn't change anything because I kept finding lettuce in my Superfoods Bowl like they're using the same utensils. Now, it's probably been a few of months since I've order here and now the Avocado Toast doesn't even have seasoning or salt on it, Avocado isn't even chopped up anymore and the eggs are just bland. Not to mention a funny taste to it. I couldn't even eat it sadly. As a chef in my previous career, this location is becoming a disappointment. At least for to-go orders. Whatever changed it shows. Most likely will be finding another FirstWatch.

    We clearly hated it! Came in on a Wednesday mid morning for brunch. We were seated immediately, and our drinks came out fast. We tried the Raspberry Ricotta French Toast, Million Dollar Bacon, Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee, and Elevated Egg Sandwich. Everything came out super fast and was delicious! Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was nice and clean and had a cute farmhouse theme going on. Overall we had a great experience and would love to come back! Hopefully I'll remember to take photos BEFORE we clean our plates lol. Thanks First Watch team!

    Chicken Hash Bowl
    Julia L.

    Ok the good... the outside area is nice for fall weather... food is good... when you finally get it. The service was good, she was very nice but spread too thin for the area she was covering. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and a chicken hash bowl, also a waffle it took 45 minutes. I could have gone and grocery shopped and gone home and made the food quicker. Second time visiting, this was a Sunday with my husband. First time by myself on. Saturday and Eggs Benedict took 40 minutes and was cold. Great potential.. I will wait awhile before going back. I am sure my review will not deter people, which is good, but pack a book, your patience and if you have kids make sure a snack before.

    On 1/19 my family and I decided to give the newest First Watch a try. I went with my husband and daughter. First Watch is my favorite breakfast spot and of course I ordered my usual: The Trifecta (Chocolate Chip Pancake, w/ Chicken Sausage and Potatoes instead of Eggs) and hubby ordered the Works Omelette. Unfortunately, our food was taken to the table sitting right next to us. They ordered before us so I didn't think anything of it when their food was brought out. Until one of them sent their food back. The other just thought she had the wrong side. They took the plate back into the kitchen and then brought it to my husband. I could hear the kitchen staff a little upset about having to remake my food. What was even weirder the person who brought out the food was both of our waitress. There wasn't any apology or communication about why my food came out 10-15 minutes after my husband's. This location is closer to home but I think it still has some kinks to work on. Until then I'll keep going to the South Park location.

    Traditional breakfast 2 eggs bacon potatoes and toast
    Dwight P.

    Service is very slow, @850am. Only a couple of people in the dinning area. Our waitress has walked pass us couple of times ask if we was ready to order then she disappeared before taking our order. Once we got to order and the food was served: the eggs were cooked to perfection. The bacon was delicious. The potatoes are little over seasoned for my taste. Overall it was a good breakfast.

    Elevated egg sandwich
    Annie C.

    Came for brunch on a Monday - got seated within 10 minutes. The service was good, friendly waiter. For food, we ordered the avocado toast, egg sandwich and egg, biscuit and gravy, potatoes plate. The egg sandwich and plate filled us up - huge portion sizes. Quality was good as well. A cute breakfast spot when looking for a typical brunch menu!

    Gravy
    Destiny W.

    Everything was so nicely seasoned I enjoyed it! The place was nicely decorated and clean , the people were okay. I will say I found hair underneath my biscuit, but I'm not making it too much of a big deal. Not sure if I'll be back but for what I had everything was nice.

    Eggs over medium and boiled egg, we asked for over easy.

The staff stood out, both our waitress and the other waiters were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. We ordered a mix of food for the table: tacos, fried pickles, steak and fries, cauliflower, and a burger. The highlights for us were definitely the fried pickles and the cauliflower--both were good and something I'd come back for. Everything else was just alright, hence the reason I deducted a star. We also loved that there was a pool table it added a lot to the experience but I do wish it was free instead of $2 a game. Still, not a dealbreaker.

I was saddened to see them close down during the Covid pandemic, and was very happy to see them come back!

I got to finally rectify that after a Hornets game found me close by and in need of a beverage. It was just how I remembered it. The bartenders were friendly, there was a mix of local regulars and some curious out-of-towners. The vibes were great and so was the Guinness. Whether you live or work Uptown and are in need of a new regular watering hole, or you find yourself massing through, The Daily is a great place to take a load off and enjoy some hearty food and strong drinks.

I'd been here once before late night in the taproom with the smaller bar menu. That experience was fine. Not amazing, not bad--decent food, decent drinks, decent service. Very low-key and very different from this visit. So when we were nearby again before heading out to see Christmas lights, it felt like an easy, familiar option. Unfortunately, this time was a completely different story. Service was extremely slow from the start. It took nearly 30 minutes just to get drinks and an appetizer, and water refills were basically nonexistent. I eventually got up and refilled our water myself while watching the server refill other tables. We were there for almost 2.5 hours, which felt excessive given the pace and crowd level. Food was all over the place. Three meals had to be sent back. My BLT showed up with maybe two strips of limp bacon, soggy toast, wilted lettuce, and red peppers instead of the onions I asked for. Rather than remaking it, they just brought out two more equally limp strips of bacon. Two burgers ordered medium/medium-rare came out well done--even though the menu clearly shows doneness levels with photos, which made that miss even more confusing. On the bright side, the potato soup was excellent--probably the best thing we had--but it arrived lukewarm after a long wait. Other dishes like the scallops, Cajun Alfredo, and chicken sandwich were genuinely good, which just added to the confusion. A manager did drop off food and briefly acknowledge the issues, but there was no real apology or follow-up. I don't expect comps, but with this many problems and slow service, the lack of accountability was noticeable. Used plates from appetizers and sides that were clearly finished sat on the table for most of the meal. When dishes were cleared, the server often asked people who were still actively eating rather than removing the empty or stacked plates that were ready to go, which only added to the overall lack of attention and awareness. Between the inconsistent food, very slow service, and an overall lack of attention to detail, this visit just didn't work. It seems like one of those places where you might get a great meal--or you might spend hours wondering what went wrong. For now, it's firmly in the meh, proceed with caution category for me.
