Watermelon Wake Up
LaDonna S.

The Farm Hash was delicious. I didn't care for the peppers though. I thought it offset the dish but that's probably just me. The Watermelon Wake Up was super good.

The art on the walls was so cool!

My husband and I ate at First Watch for breakfast. They said a 20-25 minute wait for two people so we opted to sit at the community table. It was a little out of my comfort zone to sit with strangers but I was so hungry and the other customers were really nice. Service was great considering that table had so much turnover. The server was really on his game! I ordered the tri-athlete and hubby had oatmeal and eggs. He also had the most amazing blueberry muffin, full of blueberries, moist throughout, with a light crunch on the top. He was obviously forced to share :) All of the food was good and we would definitely come back again.

Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and Fresh Seasonal Fruit
Sydney C.

i absolutely adore this place. they have the most wonderful little restaurant and service, the inside appears very clean and service is excellent. the first time i went, which was a couple weeks ago, i ordered the power wrap with a side of fruit and it was so good! such a great portion, i could barely finish both halves. the second time i came, today, it was phenomenal. checking in on the app and we got seated almost immediately. my mom and i were looking for a light lunch before we went grocery shopping and shared the smoked salmon eggs benedict, subbed the poached eggs for egg whites and ordered a bowl of fresh fruit. both times the fruit had been fresh and the eggs benedict was delicious. the smoked salmon had a nice crisp edge and the egg whites had been cooked perfectly. also i wanted to mention, the smoked salmon eggs benedict i split in half, moved to a second plate the waitress brought for me, and i just grabbed fruit from the bowl on my mom's plate. the server did not bring me the plate looking like the pic lol i 100% recommend this place. our servers both times were amazing as well, so kind and patient.

Small plate biscuits and gravy
Ben B.

It has been a wile since I had been to first watch before today and prior to this I was not super crazy over it but now I would definitely recommend people to go here while visiting I got the biscuits and gravy which was good the gravy was kinda bland but the biscuit itself was great I also got a muffin of the day (today was blueberry) and it was really good and flavorful and the last thing I got was the million dollar bacon which as well was incredible overall 5/5 stars great ambiance and a solid brunch place would recommend

Great Wall painting in the main dining room

We were visiting family in Chattanooga and we all like to eat. Taking us the the airport on Saturday, we stopped at First Watch on Gunbarrel for breakfast. The food we saw passing us and menu looked awesome. The pancakes looked awesome but after several days of gorging myself, I decided to stick to something healthier. I loved the A.M. Superfoods Bowl. It was delicious and surprisingly filing. Loved the coffee but even more, the Purple Haze non-alcoholic drink was awesome. They were really crowded and the wait was 45 minutes. But, there was a Community Table that seated 8 and only one occupant was seated. We joined him and had no wait. Additionally, we engaged this local gentleman in super interesting conversation. He eats there 4-5 times a week. If you have the opportunity to pick who you want serving you, be sure to ask for a seat in Lyric's station. She was awesome with the service, prompt, very pleasant and adorable. Lastly, I would like the thank the gentleman we sat with, who we only knew as "Rob, the carpet recycling guy" who secretly paid for breakfast for all 5 of our family members, then left. He was certainly a great man and generous beyond belief. Thanks, Roy.

Grilled Cheese with ham, Mayo side salad
Cortina B.

The sandwich was great, I wish the sever would have asked what I wanted on the side because I do not eat grass for salad, however she was nice enough to bring me a side of soup! I enjoyed the company and the lunch!

One of the superfood bows to go.
Shimere B.

Great little breakfast chain that offers an assortment of brunch options. We love the breakfast tacos, avocado toast, and the superfood bowls. Highly recommend their bacon if you love bacon!

Is there usually a wait around 10:00?

I was honestly pretty nervous about eating alone, but from the moment I walked in, the environment felt so comfortable and welcoming that it eased my anxiety quite a bit. The staff was incredibly friendly, especially my waitress, Sarah. She was so kind and made me feel completely comfortable, which meant a lot to me as someone eating alone for the first time. She truly made the whole experience that much better! And the food... WOW. Every bite was packed with flavor, and I absolutely chowed down The fries were perfect, and I loved the Cajun seasoning on them. The smash burger was delicious and cooked perfectly -- although it was definitely a little messy, so consider yourself warned haha. The mozzarella sticks had an AMAZING cheese pull, and the sauce was absolutely divine. And then there was dessert. Let's just say it was probably meant to feed two people... but I ate the entire thing by myself because it was THAT good. Overall, I couldn't have picked a better restaurant for my first night and my first solo dining experience. Great food, wonderful staff, and such a comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

So we found Bad Daddy's Burgers and all I'm saying is "Can you come to Miami?". The restaurant was very clean, our waiter came out immediately to help us and take our order although that took a little bit cause this spot has something special. You can order one of the burgers off the menu or you can create your own. & well... creating your own with almost everything being included & not charged extra sounds pretty good & makes you extra creative. We went all out. They offer plenty of options on the burger style ( traditional angus patty, smash burger ) then a bunch of toppings from Mac and cheese, cowboy onions, jalapeños, egg, a variety of cheeses, bacon, etc. Surprisingly they did indeed get our orders correct ,but they also do provide you with a paper & pencil to jot it down. I can't remember all I put in there but I did have hand cut truffle fries which I will say I liked the onion rings better the fries were too salty for my personal liking, but overall absolutely delicious & well I didn't eat again until lunch the next day lol

They share the space with Malone's which is on the left when you walk in. The hosts at the front directed me to the sliding doors on the right where Harry's was. I got the Steak Sandwich with a side of crinkle fries. It was good. The fries were crispy and hot when they came out. When our food first came out, I didn't anticipate my sandwich to be pretty small. It was definitely smaller than I thought. I felt like my fries felt more plentiful than the main sandwich. The Steak Sandwich was delicious. I liked the provolone cheese and caramelized onions. And the steak was cooked pretty good too. My only complaint food-wise was that I expected more for the price I paid. I wish the sandwich was larger. Lastly, when me and my friend were in the middle of talking, our server interrupted us to ask if we needed a box and check. Our food was almost done, I was in the middle of eating my food listening to my friend but it was just such odd timing to ask that. It felt like we were rushed to be kicked out or something. After our waitress left, my friend and I looked at each other in confusion for a good moment. Also, we didn't "overstay" in the sense of staying and talking at our table for hours. We were just in the middle of our meal. I've dined in at a decent amount of places, and the waiters and waitresses have always swung by at a good time and sometimes later than we want which is understandable due to busy circumstances. But to ask with half a bowl of fries and a quarter of my sandwich left while I'm still eating and conversing? Maybe she's a new waitress and doesn't understand cues yet, but I've never experienced poor understanding and customer skills from a waitress. Food was decent, the hosts at the front were friendly and helpful, but service was poor. That was my experience and I don't think I'll be back again.
