    This place was packed this Sunday. Even with get in line we waited 40+ minutes. We ordered the million dollar bacon which was great. Unfortunately it all ran downhill from there. Belgian waffle for my wife was stone cold My salmon eggs Benedict never materialized had to order a traditional Eggs Benedict. It was cold also. I gave up. So listen up folks. I wish you well but you need to to review what went wrong and make a better effort

    I'm not a big breakfast person with one exception; when I am traveling. I like eating breakfast out. It's especially good when I can find a place that offers non traditional foods or unique dishes. First Watch is exactly this type of place. Their food is always fresh and the staff and service is friendly and helpful. This particular location is more tables than booths and is noisier than others I've visited but other than that the experience was great. Highly recommended.

    Only giving a four star because what I ordered lacked an ingredient . The food was absolutely delicious and the service was quick and friendly. I ordered the BLT Eggs Benedict and it lacked the advertised vine ripened tomatoes. It was still a great Benedict but would have loved to have had the tomatoes. Seating is abundant with indoor, outdoor and a bar area. They do serve alcoholic breakfast beverages. Parking could be a challenge if coming at a busy time of day as the restaurant also shares with four other businesses. Overall a great experience.

    Farmhouse Hash with scrambled eggs

    Came on a Sunday mid day brunch time and it was busy. I waited around 30 mins to be seated but First Watch doesn't disappoint. It was a bit chilly so I orders the hot chocolate. It was a mountain of hot goodness. I also ordered the farmhouse hash with scrambled eggs. On the photo it is missing the toast that comes with it because I ordered it with no butter and it they brought it with butter. However, Madison, who was our waitress, immediately changed it and brought it nice and hot to the table. Great experience, great service and yummy food. Come early or be ready to wait. P.S. On a side note I wish they had more options than just plain coffee. Just a thought and a wish, lol!

    First Watch is a favorite breakfast spot for my family. We always love coming here to enjoy some good food. They offer a great selection of both healthy and regular breakfast favorites. Waiters are always super nice and helpful when making your choices. Ambiance is cool, with some music playing in the back ground, but never annoying.

    This was my first visit to this upscale breakfast/brunch chain. The interior is modern in decor, bright and clean. The noise level is rather high from all the table talk. I order Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon ($15.29) and an order of Million Dollar Bacon ($5.99). The order was out quickly, beautifully plated. The Eggs Benedict came with an organic mixed greens salad with a lemon based dressing - flavor and fresh! The Eggs Benedict dish had several problems which really messed the whole thing up! While the poached eggs were perfectly cooked both the sliced tomato and the thin slices of salmon were refrigerator cold, quickly turning the eggs cold as well. I have never encountered this dish before were the salmon was stone cold - the flavor seems off as well but that might be the temperature. Quickly realized I am not a fan of cold poached eggs. In addition the ciabatta was barely toasted, if at all, further adding to a dish that grew colder and colder! The Million Dollar Bacon was quite tasty. It is well fried hardwood smoked and glazed with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne, and a maple syrup drizzle. The other decent aspect of this visit was that the service was very good. Otherwise this was pretty much a big time kitchen failure, and not an inexpensive one. Between the noise, the pricing (coffee is $3.85), awful parking near the restaurant, and the poorly prepared dish, there is scant little to like. No return anticipated!

    Poor quantity.

    Eating there is fine. People are nice and food good. Delivery is hit or miss. They always give you plastic cutlery even if every time you check "no." Eggs are prepared to order sometimes. Today was a new low: the fruit cup menu photo shows full container of mixed fruit. See photo of what I received. Few pieces of pineapple and grapes. Didn't even cover bottom of container. The delivery food prep person appears to not care or isn't supervised or both. Pretty consistent the orders are rarely as to order. We order breakfast cuz busy or sick or just lazy. Having to complain takes a lot of time but I'm tired of it. Good luc

    This place is always great! The menu options are like no other! Every member of our family love coming here. I specially like the in Clemmons, because it's near a walking trail towards the small lake. You can eat then burn off the calories with a scenic walk. The restaurant offers outside and inside seating. The staff is always great. I have a pleasant experience every time. I was so hungry I forgot to take pics of my meal but I recommend every single item on the menu, and that is rare to say about a restaurant. Open concept with exposed HVAC on the ceiling. Warehouse/farmhouse homey feel.

    Chickichanga front, million dollar bacon middle, exploding egg sandwich foreground
    Lace F.

    My husband took me here this morning for Valentine's Day breakfast and it was my first time at a first watch. It was a good introduction! I gotcha the chickichanga which was well prepared, flavorful and a nice portion to start your day. We also got the million dollar bacon which was actually $5 bacon, it was a tasty addition, basically thick cut bacon drenched in syrup and sprinkled with black pepper, nothing not to like! My husband got the elevated egg sandwich which was nice looking and he gave me a bite, unfortunately my bite exploded the egg yolk all over me, and I mean ALL OVER, I was decimated and we had to go home after so I could change because my shirt and pants were so thoroughly destroyed with egg yolk. I don't hold this against them however, this was my own fault, but just.. beware. Dangerous sandwiches.

    I've been to this location several times, and they've been great every time. The service is fast (dare say too fast) and friendly. The restaurant is overall clean and aesthetically pleasing, and they have an outdoor patio area to enjoy some coffee and pancakes al fresco on a warm day. The food is consistently delicious, and I've tried pancakes, avocado toast, huevos rancheros, and smoked salmon benedict. There's a ton of breakfast places in Clemmons, so there's no reason to wait in line for eggs. I'll definitely be back here though!

    This one is more spacious than the one in Greensboro. The staff was really nice and attentive. We got seated almost immediately. There's a cool bar area too. Parking is a bit limited. I ordered eggs Benedict w smoked salmon, and it was delicious!

    Breakfast verde burrito
    Tim K.

    I am always up for trying new places to eat. So when my friend suggested First Watch for breakfast, I jumped at the chance. I ordered the breakfast verde burrito stuffed with everything lol. The food came out fairly quickly but you could tell It was freshly prepared. The burrito was MASSIVE. Even with my size, I could only manage 1/2 of it and boxed the rest for my wife to try at home. The burrito was delicious! Physical space 10/10 Service 10/10 FOOD 10/10 Now understand, breakfast was a bit pricey at $12 for this burrito but as an occasional treat, yum yum yum! There are cheaper options out there but I'm a firm believer you get what you pay for. I don't mind spending extra for quality food and service. I will definitely return for breakfast and try something new. They have something called Million Dollar Bacon. That's next for me. Give yourself a treat for breakfast and try them out.

    Went to meet up here with friends for dinner. It's off the main road in a stand alone building. We…read morewere greeted immediately by a staff member and taken to our table. Our waiter soon arrived to take our drink order while we waited for our friends. When they arrived they had one extra person and the waiter immediately moved us to a bigger table without hesitation. He gave us a few minutes to review the menu while we decided what to eat. The margarita specials are great for all you drinkers. They also have non alcoholic drinks for the drivers and non drinkers. Drinks are big thou they are packed with ice. Food selection is pretty diverse as they have e something for everyone's taste. They also offer some great value specials for those on a budget. We started with the trio appetizer, doubling up on the chicken wonton tacos and some fried pickles. The wontons were actually really good and not a bad combination of ingredients. The fried pickles were in strips which was different. They were a bit salty but then again it's pickles! My friend got the cheeseburger wonton tacos. She thought it was a bit spicy but they were perfect for me. I would order those next time. My wife got the sweet Asian chili wings, she was bummed that she only got drumsticks and not one wing.....lol. She did like the ratio of sweet and spicy on them. I got the lemon chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli, that's right, this fat guy ate healthy for once! The chicken was not overcooked and you could definitely taste the lemon in every bite. It was a big piece too so it filled me up. Broccoli was soft and tender and the mashed potatoes had soaked up the juices from the chicken so it made them that much better. Wifey liked the margarita so I will take her word on it. Overall great experience. Had not been here in a minute. The menu pictures definitely make you want to come back and the service today was great. Give it a try, I don't think you will be disappointed!

    Ordered the Ribeye. Hmmm was so thin I asked for Rare to Medium. Got a well done. Taste was good,…read moreon the tender part's that were edible. The dogs will get the rest. Also ordered the Spinach/Artichoke dip. That was good. But by the time we got home, . Let's just say the bathroom was my destination for the next few hours. Broccoli and cheese and mashed potatoes tasted old. So improvements definitely or don't go on a Mon night.

The waitress was so apologetic that my order wasn't ready, to which I responded no problem. The online ordering system said 3 minutes but I know that is not realistic for waffles and not knowing how busy the dine in would be. The cook gave me my order and she was also so apologetic and mentioned the time. Just know you both are doing a great job! A suggestion for corporate, consider updating the online system to default to 10 min at least for basic orders.

    This particular Waffle House is off of the main highway, see you would drive by here and never…read morenoticed it. The only way that I found it is that it was by the hotel that I was staying at. Like a lot of Waffle Houses, it is just off of the highway. So this makes it convenient for travelers. However, with it being off of the main road, many people will not find it and choose elsewhere. I am a fan of Waffle House. My go-to options are either their patty melt or one of their egg options for breakfast. Probably the thing that has me coming back the most is their hash browns. They are truly something to behold and you can have them topped with a variety of toppings. I know it might seem strange to some, but I have never had the waffles at Waffle House as I prefer more savory breakfast. If waffles are your thing, I would recommend trying them. I think whatever you choose at Waffle House, you will be happy. This is not fine dining oh, it is the epitome of a greasy spoon. Sometimes we need greasy spoons in our lives.
