Their new corned beef dish
Sandra H.

Although I don't usually review a chain, I felt that First Watch's new "shrimp and grits" was truly exceptional. It came out hot and perfectly seasoned... with a little kick! I also ordered my standby favorite: million dollar bacon. Always perfectly prepared. As the usual, staff is exceptional. Parking is so easy... what more could a person want?

What's left of my honey chipotle chicken hash
Devena S.

I came a little late in the day but Lauren my server was very attentive without being annoying and a delight! A bug got in my coffee and she not only brought me a new cup but a fresh pot - blessings to her because I needed that coffee!! The atmosphere was pretty chill being after lunch on a weekday - I was able to journal and reflect in peace. Without feeling rushed as no one needed my table. A consistent good vibe as always, First Watch!!

Ham & Gruyere Melt
Isabel E.

Great service by our server! She was quick and kind. The hostesses were also very pleasant. The place was packed on a Saturday morning and we only had to wait 5 minutes for a table - I was shocked! The place was clean and well staffed. The food was good. Came out as expected and was very filling. First watch food is good, but nothing spectacular in my opinion. The honey caramel crunch iced coffee was not a hit for me. It oddly tasted alcoholic even though it wasn't.

Uhh... Just why. Cardboard in water.. Unclean bathrooms just pitiful. THE POTATOES WERE BURNT. My favorite part ;(.

The Traditional Breakfast with goetta
Chloe W.

Hadn't be here in a while. I love that they have an online waitlist! The food was delicious, our server was on top of it! Never had to ask for refills, made sure our food was tasty and was just very nice. The restaurant was clean and we will definitely be going back again soon!

Multigrain Pancakes
John S.

The food was pretty tasty but we were pretty underwhelmed for the cost. I love the servers here but hate the way you pay. This is the same for most locations but thankfully this one wasn't busy. I did enjoy walking around the shopping complex after!

Was in a surly mood and looking at a wait did nothing to change that. Was told 15 minutes and I took the over. I lost the bet, 10 minutes tops, great service, great food (as always). Left in a much better mood. My grandson forgot to order his favorite Millionaire Dollar Bacon so I flagged down the waitress and it came out like she forgot to bring it instead of us forgetting to order it. I had the traditional, as always. Will probably go to First Watch again tomorrow as there is one right around the corner from the hotel I should note two things, 1: I love first watch and have only had two bad experiences is many, many visits. 2: The reason for four stars and not five is I have to go up to pay instead of the wait staff taking it up-I hate that. It is corporate policy that won't change but I won't change either. PS: the doors were super cool (see photo).

Chile Chorizo
Cece J.

Ordered a chile chorizo omelet to-go, and it tasted great until I saw that there was hair in it. Needless to say, my appetite was ruined and it ended up in the trash.

Million $ bacon sammy
Kevin E.

Really good experience. The new million dollar breakfast sandwich is really good. Could be a bit larger... I hoping this becomes a regular menu item.

Safest BLT EVER! So sad

Well, my wife was insistent on going to first watch at the town center location. We both, let me repeat this. We both got violently ill from whatever the hell it was we ate. My wife ordered a simple omelette with cheese onion, and I ordered a basic BLT. Which is supposed to be bacon, lettuce, and tomato. When the food got to the table, nothing was right. I asked the waiter specifically which it's not his fault, to make sure that it was only a bacon, lettuce and tomato dry. No mayonnaise no egg none of the other happy crap that they try to foo foo the sandwich up with , My wife's omelette came out with mushrooms, tomatoes cheese. So it was basically wrong. We sent everything back and I watched the kitchen staff, including the expo, pointed our table, and everyone started to laugh. I found this very disheartening when people find out that they do something wrong and try to blame it on the customer. When I actually seen the receipt And what it had said from the server. This is a lack of training. This is a lack of performance from the staff in general. The manager came out and apologized, which was OK, but I also realized it was not her fault nor was it the servers. Maybe if the line cooks actually took the time to serve and understand that they are messing with servers money, this probably wouldn't happen. When you mess with people's money, you piss people off! (server wise that is) This was the third attempt on my part to try this place again and of course, they would screw up a wet dream! I like breakfast foods, but these people are so snotty so entitled and opinionated, that I will not be returning to this location period! I've had better breakfast foods from white castles and less screw ups. Maybe if they would actually find someone who has a brain in their head and takes pride in their job things would go smoother.

Iced coffee with oat milk and Tangerine Dream.
Brooke M.

I stopped in here for breakfast and I was not disappointed! I was seated right away and greeted by my server (Erica) with a huge welcoming smile, ice cold water and a pot of fresh hot coffee. I went with an iced coffee with oat milk option which did not disappoint. They also have a new juice my server suggested, called Tangerine Dream, which was delicious! My main reason for coming in was for the Triple Berry Açaí Bowl. You cant find true açaí anywhere around here so I was elated to try it. The cinnamon granola on top with the huge fresh berries made the açaí that much better. I got an English Muffin with almond butter after the server's suggestion and boy, she didn't steer me in the wrong direction. Thanks Erica! Great drinks, food, and incredible service today. I left feeling happy and full. I will definitely be back!

Eileen B.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I love First watch and their staff is always friendly. I got the chicken Cobb salad which on weight watchers is not too bad. The salad has black beans corn chicken several types of lettuce crushed tortilla chips. I got a Lemon vinaigrette with it. So fresh and light. The food here is always fresh and presentation is spot on.

Chris M.

Took my family out for a great mean and First Watch delivered! Food is very organic, earthy, and makes you feel that you're eating pretty healthy. I had plenty to eat, very little left over, and didn't feel gross/blah as I usually do after a heavy meal. I'm a huge fan of their million dollar bacon, the works omelet, and the morning meditation drink. The only thing stopping me from a 5* review is the food is overpriced for the portion I received in comparison to other restaurants. However, it's worth the splurge every once and a while. Our waitress was very polite, accommodating, and gave excellent services. My family walked away happy and that certainly made me happy. I plan to come back again to scarf down on a BLT that they do with eggs on it. Can't wait!

Tri-Fecta

We would have loved having this spot open when we lived in Waynesville. We moved in 2019 but still…read morevisit yearly to visit family and we eat at least one meal here every visit. What the village lacks is actual sit down food spots. (I previously worked at the Hammel House with Mrs. Bowman- we miss them!) The Butter Churn is filling a void and doing a good job at it. The menu is nice, soups- sandwiches & salad options. Our niece really enjoys their potato chips (I think they make them in house, I could be wrong.) The decor is eclectic, it feels like they have small collections and perhaps bought things locally from the antique shops. The back room had a Christmas Santa collection and it was expansive. Coca-Cola, clowns, vintage troll dolls- it all just feels like visiting someone's quirky aunts home. It feels homey and nice. The last time we went we had about twenty mins before closing and were popping in for ice cream. We were told...and reminded multiple times that they wanted to be out of the building at exactly closing time. We said we understood (I mean yes- I also love being off work on time) but the constant reminders felt like they were shoving us out the door when we were just placing ice cream orders and trying to pay. It might have just been a stressful night. We did pop in the next day and I asked about their coffee selection. The response we got was a bit dismissive and they told us "we have black coffee, we don't do any of that fancy stuff. Go down the street to Taylor's." I was going to order the regular coffee but it was off-putting so we did as they recommended and left. I know I don't *look* like a local- for obvious reasons. I don't want to believe this is why we received weird service compared to other patrons. Regardless, we have enjoyed the actual food and ice cream here. Our family likes it and visits weekly- I will just trust them that they get good consistent service every time.

I'm not big on coffee shop beverages, but their food menu really sparked my curiosity. They had some bao bun variations on special that I absolutely needed to try. They asked that I find a seat while they prepared the food. I loved each of them so much, they were all very different from each other, but so beautifully and thoughtfully crafted. As I waited for the food, I got to soak up the ambiance, which was just as memorable and wonderful as the food. I loved the different vibes of each floor: all tranquil but still distinct. I got to people watch a couple on their first date, a father and son reunion, and a setup for a tea party. All in an enchanting atmosphere as I enjoyed my bao! Definitely try this place if you are in the area! You are sure to fall in love as I did.

The whole aesthetic is calm, intentional, and absolutely Instagram-worthy (but in the best, most authentic way). I ordered a pot of their loose-leaf Parvati's Happiness and got to enjoy it with a tea pet! Such a fun and meditative experience; watching the tea pour over the tiny ceramic figure felt both playful and peaceful. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the craft of tea; they walk you through the ritual without being pretentious. Food-wise, the miso sesame vegan bagel sandwich blew me away. The cashew chili oil cream cheese was next-level; creamy, a little spicy, and perfectly balanced with the nutty miso sesame flavor. It's one of those dishes that makes you forget it's vegan because it's just that satisfying. Customer service was wonderful too; friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. If you're into mindful tea experiences, beautiful spaces, and creative plant-based food, this spot is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back and try more!
