Cereal cocktail
Claire M.

I have always loved First Watch, so of course I needed to visit the one closest to me in my new city! Per usual, I was not disappointed with the service or my order. It was busy on a Sunday afternoon, but my husband and I were seated within 5 minutes. Our waiter was quick to get our drinks and our food order. I got the market veggie sandwich with tomato basil soup. They accidentally gave me the salad on the side instead of the soup, but quickly corrected it. I also got a cocktail (didn't know first watch had cocktails!!), with rum, coffee, and cinnamon. Tasty! My husband ordered the Parma Hash and was also very satisfied! We also split the cheese grits and ohhh were they delicious!! Obviously I'll be back b/c I love this spot and it has never let me down!

I absolutely love first watch. The meals are always consistent and tasty. I love the addition of the seasonal menu that keeps me on my toes for something new. This location was nice and clean, and I recommend stopping by.

The Traditional Breakfast & The Elevated Egg Sandwich with million dollar potatoes.

We really enjoyed eating here! It is a lovely place and they have great dishes incorporating traditional with a culinary flair.

Kids meal - pumpkin pancake
Jessica G.

Went here for the first time today with my husband and kids (3 years and a 6 month old). Our host (who was also our server) was very friendly and held good conversation. I wish I could remember his name for a shoutout but he came from Chicago and has lived here for 3 years. We had a stroller with us and got put in an accommodating spot for that to fit. My 3 year old got a kids mat with crayons to keep her occupied for a bit and because she wanted a pumpkin pancake instead of chocolate chip, I think they were able to sub it and still get the kids price. I ordered the million dollar hash (seasonal) and a caramel crunch iced coffee (couldn't really taste the coffee, was mostly just sweet and creamy). The hash was phenomenal and I finished almost all of it. My husband got an omelette and the toast that came with it looked super good. We ordered the seasonal million dollar bacon but it came out just after our meal did so really didn't work out as an app like we had hoped for but everything did come out pretty quickly in their defense. The bathroom was out of paper towel (we got there around noon so they must have not gotten to replace it since morning rush). Not the end of the world but one of those detail things. I wish we had one of these near home!

Delicious breakfast spot in Chattanooga! Have gone for the previous two Sundays and both times had great presentation, delicious and filling meals. They know how to cook their eggs well. The seasonal pancakes were DIVINE! Chocolate chip, cinammon is such a great combination of flavor. In full honesty, I am not much of a breakfast person. This place makes me a breakfast person :) I will be coming back for several more visits to come!

Some of the local flavor!

Been to many a First Watch in my business life & travels but not one like this. Starting with the eclectic decor & jazz music to the regional menu with local products, nothing in this restaurant says chain but the top quality of the coffee. All the servers were personable & friendly and the quality & taste of the food was excellent. Not sure if this is specific to the Northshore of Chattanooga, but this joint is worth seeking out for some good grub to start your day!

Power Wrap. It is always delicious!
Mark J.

One of my favorite places to eat breakfast. I usually have the Power Wrap. It is a healthy, tasty way to start your day. Everything they serve looks delicious. Their staff are friendly and deliver excellent service every time. I highly recommend you check them out!

Maybe an off day. Omelette was basically a two egg taco filled with cold meats and vegetables. Won't be rushing back here.

We tried a few beers from Five Wits and per her recommendation got the creamsicle shake as well. Solid beverage choices. The shake tasted part float part milkshake and it was absolutely delicious. Would order again. The food on the other hand was a bit eh. We ordered the Asian q burger and the mushroom melt burger and it took quite a while for them to come out and when they did they had unfortunately been left on the grill for way too long and were charred and crunchy. One set of our fries was cold and the bun to burger ratio was extremely off. Luckily, the staff agreed that our burgers were accidentally overcooked and they remade them no questions asked. The remade burgers were moist and better but still not fantastic. They were just burgers with minimal toppings on them. Not really seasoned and the flavor came from the toppings themselves. The buns were still too big for the burgers so there was a lot of extra bread and they have potential to be great but they were just average. Would have probably been a three star review but the staff and drink selection really earned the extra star. Would go back to drink and maybe snack but probably not order a burger.

Oh my gosh, yes! I would totally recommend this place. The interior is just wonky and a lot of fun…read more We had a great server, she kept our drinks full and we were happy. The food was great. And the funny thing I have to say is that finding some of the best nachos all the way in Tennessee was a total shocker! Part of it is just because they take this large sheet pan and spread the chips out over it so every chip has a topping. You're not left with a giant pile of chips that are totally naked in the middle of your pile of nachos. But I have to add to that that I got brisket nachos, the brisket was really wonderful, it was just savory and tender. The barbecue sauce is on the table were wonderful I'm just about anything. They have these great couch seating areas in the middle that were so much fun and just perfect for a family. And if you have even room for one bite, get one of their turnovers! Apple and blueberry turnovers are excellent! The cherry was not as good, but the pastry is divine. But it is super light and flaky and everything you could ask for in a baked treat.

Maybe that's just because it was early, but is always a plus to find a place we can hear each other talking. Our waitress was knowledgeable and went above and beyond when I had menu questions about what I could have with my dairy & wheat allergies. My friend had the smoked wings which were fantastic! I tired out the vegan nachos which were a letdown. Overall the flavors were great, but it lacked in volume of tortilla chips, too many pickled red onions. They were unbalanced and messy, felt more like a weak salad than nachos. Will be checking them out again some time.

OK after trying multiple highly rated restaurants in Chattanooga, I decided to give City diner a…read moreshot. Not for food because I had other plans, but I heard they had some of the best cake in the city so I made it a point to go try their cake. And let me just ask you have you ever been kissed by a group of angels?! Because that's what this experience is like. I walk in look at the cake. The lady at the counter is very friendly very helpful very attentive. She smiled the whole time she was friendly. She answered my questions with no attitude. I mean it was full on top-notch customer service. So she cut me this massive slice of cake hand it over. She already put the utensils in the bag. She put the napkins in the bag and everything I needed was there. I didn't have to ask for anything. She had it all ready for me for a smooth transaction. And that's all fine and dandy, but let's be honest. We're here for the taste. We're here for the quality of the cake and my God those angels came back with all their friends and all their family and just grabbed my taste buds and massage them and just made my pallet feel like it's never felt before. The carrot cake is moist, it's fresh, it's not too sweet, there's no weird random additional items mixed in it. It's a classic well balanced, top-notch slice of carrot cake. And I'll be honest at first I almost didn't get it cause I was like man over $10 for a slice of cake is a little bit steep but I'd pay $20 for this slice of cake. That's how delicious it is. With all that Saide, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The cake was delicious. The service was phenomenal all in all well worth it would try again. And don't tell nobody I was trying to wait till later to eat it, but I cracked it up at a stoplight and had to get a little taste and boy did it take a lot of willpower to close that container

The cheesesteak was super fresh, loaded with cheese, and exactly what I was hoping for. One tip: make sure to ask for coleslaw and a pickle if you want them with your meal. Of course, I couldn't leave without trying one of their cakes, so I went with the Oreo cake. It was incredibly moist and delicious! The restaurant was pretty busy during our visit, and service was a little slow getting started, but overall it was a good experience. We enjoyed it enough to come back for breakfast the next day. This time I ordered biscuits and gravy, bacon, and home fries. Everything was good, but the bacon was definitely the star of the show! It tasted so fresh and was absolutely delicious. The home fries were good, although I thought they could have used a little more seasoning. Naturally, I had to try another slice of cake! This time I went with the mint chocolate chip, which reminded me of an Andes mint candy. Just like the Oreo cake, it was super moist and full of flavor. The menu has plenty of options, and the cake selection alone is worth checking out.

Took the wife and mother in law out for a change of scenery to the wonderful place called…read moreChattanooga. Wound up at the aquarium for a couple hours and ended up hungry at the very end of it. Not far from where we were parked we found the Wooden City conveniently across from it all (dare I say a brisk walk's worth) with Mellow Mushroom and Ben & Jerry's establishments at both corners. We were given the options of staying inside or being placed outside and we chose (biased a lil) the opportunity of eating outside. We were taken care of accordingly by Jonathan, who is a perfect example of someone that makes tourism worth it, we chitchatted back-and-forth and came across some great options on our appetizers and drinks. While we waited for drinks, we were served water with ice as the weather outside was pleasant but a little too hot for the afternoon... When the appetizers arrived, we were greeted by not only demonstration, but taste above what I've had as of recent. Wife enjoyed the freshness of the tomatoes and cheese whilst I was mesmerized by how subtle and uber smooth my Old Fashioned was. We unwinded and talked about our day here in this city and then our next meal plates arrived. I had the very unique and well presented Beet Ravioli and the wife had the exquisite Spicy Lamb Rigatoni. Immediate upon arrival to our table my wife and I exchanged a bite of each other's plates to give a chance for our taste pallets to experience one another. The Beet Ravioli took back my wife to a time where she made something of similar taste and the Rigatoni took me back to California when I tasted something familiar then. Towards the end, I saved the location at the name of the restaurant, as I would like a near future to come back and visit with more time. Jonathan was an absolute help for our satisfaction in Chattanooga and we are thankful.

Wonderful start to end. Casual upscale atmosphere…read moreDrinks were unique and flavorful Had the Hungarian peppers appetizer (5/5), Rigatoni (5/5) and sausage mushroom pizza (5/5).
