    Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash

    The food was amazing! The service was really good. It's a cute spot, lots of seating available and in a great location. I really enjoyed it.

    Tri-Fecta

    First Watch has amazing breakfast. The atmosphere is calm and workers are super nice and attentive. I always get the Tri-fecta with pancakes 10/10. And don't forget those crispy breakfast potatoes!!

    This was a great experience and I would highly recommend that you try out this chain if you have the opportunity. The menu is diverse and interesting, with a variety of options for different tastes. The service was friendly and efficient. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and must say the eggs were perfectly cooked. The whites were just barely solid while the yolk was warm and yummy! I am already looking forward to another visit.

    The French toast is big.

    I love breakfast food and this is one of my favorite spots for it. They always have good seasonal options on the menu that my husband usually orders and enjoys. But I almost always get the French toast because it's big, thick and delicious. They also have really good avocado toast. We always receive great service too. If you're going on a weekend, check in ahead online because the wait can be long. The bathrooms are always clean too.

    Shrimp & Grits with a Bloody Mary

    In town for my daughter's surgery and we stopped by this fine establishment. We were greeted immediately and sat. I had the Shrimp and Grits and my wife had the blueberry pancakes with eggs and turkey sausage. The food as well as the ambiance was top tier. 10/10

    Stopped by this First Watch while on vacation, and it was a good experience! I've been to other locations in Miami and Orlando, but food-wise, I think this one might be the best yet. There was plenty of parking, the ambiance was nicely decorated and inviting, and it felt spacious and clean. The staff was fine--not overly friendly, but courteous. Most importantly, the food was good and came out quickly. Here's what we tried: * Steak & Eggs Hash - Very good * Cheese Grits & Ham - The grits were great, though the ham was just okay * Scrambled Eggs, Cheese, & Bacon - Very good * Over Easy Eggs, Breakfast Potatoes, & Rye Toast - Okay * Sweet Iced Tea - Very good * Purple Haze - Very good * Hot Chocolate - Just okay One small hiccup: our waitress didn't let us know we needed to pay up front, so we waited around for a bit. But other than that, she was nice and accommodating. Overall, I'd come back to this location--it was a solid experience with a welcoming vibe!

    The works omelette
    Jamila B.

    I ordered online for pick up and my order was ready when I arrived. I did have a slight issue with the website, it wouldn't let me choose my side. It was stuck on field greens but I wanted potatoes. I added a note in the order that said potatoes please and they fulfilled my order as requested. I love this omelette! It has everything in it: bell peppers, onions, sausage, bacon, cheese, mushrooms and of course eggs. It is seasoned perfectly and the potatoes are so delicious, they are seasoned perfectly and have sautéed onions in them. The perfect breakfast!

    Iced coffee
    Tierra L.

    Arrived for mid day brunch party of 1. The place was pretty busy but since I was alone I sat at the "community table" which is a tabletop of probably 8 that operates more or less like bar seating but it was actually pretty cool. The waiter was very attentive to be so busy. I was impressed with the food taste as it's been a while since I was last at FW and remember not being impressed. But everything I had was tasted. I had the traditional breakfast. Eggs with cheese, chicken sausage, potatoes and toast. The toast was the best part! Ohhh and this iced coffee with crunch on top was soooo good. I was slurping and picking the crunch out. I'd get that for takeout just because.

    Seating
    Candice T.

    Stopped by for an early breakfast shortly after they opened one morning. Only one other party was inside, so the restaurant was quiet, which was nice for a slow start to the morning. No one was at the hostess stand when we walked in, but we only waited about a minute for someone to come out and greet us. As we were walking, I noticed that the floor was a little sticky in some spots. Once we were seated at our table, it didn't take very long for our server to come ask for our drink orders. My husband ordered kale tonic juice, which he's had and enjoyed both here and another location a few times. He also ordered the Tri-fecta, which comes with two eggs any style, a waffle or pancake, and your choice of meat. He chose scrambled eggs, the Belgian waffle, and chicken sausage plus a side of grits. He said the sausage was too sweet and tasted differently than at other locations. The grits weren't seasoned at all. He said they tasted like "buttered water" lol, and the texture was off. But the eggs and waffle were good. I ordered the Bacado omelet, which comes with bacon, avocado, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and pico de gallo. The avocado was pretty brown and there was waaaaay too much chopped bacon! I had to move the avocado aside, and I spent so much time removing bacon from the omelet that I didn't even think to take a picture of the pile I left on the side of my plate. I removed literally the equivalent of at least four slices of medium sized bacon strips and still had a decent amount inside. And I never received the pico de gallo that was supposed to come with the omelet. We both had somewhere to be afterward, and the server was pleasant, so we didn't make a fuss over it all. But more than likely, we won't be back to this location again.

    My order.
    Chris H.

    Deeply disappointed in my recent Togo order of x2 Traditional Breakfasts and x1 Trifecta. My Waffle was missing from the trifecta, the potatoes in both traditional breakfasts were burned, and the eggs were unpalatable. I had to throw the food away. First watch is usually good, but avoid this location if you value your dollars.

The staff are fantastic, personable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They really know their craft and are happy to share recommendations on both drinks and food. The ambiance adds so much to the experience, I recommend you to come and relax on the patio or grab a seat at the bar. There's such a great vibe all around that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're in the area, definitely stop by, you'll enjoy every bit of the atmosphere that Brick Store has been giving all this time. I will be back!

Brick Store was literally not even 100 feet from where we went for dinner, Iberian Pig. We went upstairs to have a drink. The vibes are super cool inside this pub! In my opinion, this might be one of the best beer pubs that I have ever been to. The upstairs feels very rustic and almost like you're in a castle of some sort. In true fashion, of course I got a glass of Guinness. It was perfect! Our server was super friendly and very attentive. She even provided some suggestions based on what the others were looking for. Her name was Olivia! Brick Store also has a full food menu too, but we just came for drinks. The food menu is tradiitonal pub type food, so fish and chips, chicken pot pie, etc. It honestly looked really good! I will definitely be back here in the future!!

We usually have to circle around to find a spot, and walk to the restaurant. We came by for lunch on a Sunday. I like both the exterior and the interior design of the restaurant. The server was friendly and professional. We ordered drinks and two entrées. There was only one other table besides us, so just two tables total in the restaurant. After our drinks arrived, it took more than 45 minutes for the food to come out. The food itself was delicious. We had the half chicken and the trout. The ingredient quality is high, you can really taste it. However, the wait time was a bit too long, especially considering how empty the restaurant was. Aside from the long wait, everything else was good. I wonder if the delay was because we came shortly after they opened for lunch, but if they're open, the kitchen should be ready. Overall, the food is quite good, though the entree menu is somewhat limited, if excluding the pasta. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth trying. Personally, I'm not sure if I would come back. I'd rather not experience that long wait again, but maybe it was just an off day when I visited.

There was plenty of seating when we were walked in. Parking: This spot is located in downtown Decatur, so there are a variety of paid parking options (street parking, parking decks). Make sure to read the signs as there may be free parking on Sundays. Food: We ordered so much from the menu! Our favorite was the Heirloom Tomatoes, so make sure you grab that. It paired perfectly with the Bread & Butter. We also ordered the Crispy Potatoes, the Cacio e Pepe, and the Rigatoni. We weren't the biggest fans of the Rigatoni. There was what we think were raisins in there, which really threw things off. Drinks: There are so many options from cocktails to wine to beer. We both opted for aperitifs and enjoyed them! Vibe: We really enjoyed the space. It's small and intimate, and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

Two pieces of battered and fried white fish served with tartar sauce, a tiny scoop of cole slaw, and French fries. My companions had chicken wings, vegetarian chili, and poutine. The chili was fantastic, and I heard good things about the chicken, but the poutine was a pass. The cafe is reasonably large, with two dining areas inside plus a bar and an outdoor patio. The decor is neighborhood sporty, with an emphasis on Wisconsin (Green Bay Packers and UW Badgers prominent). I'd definitely eat there again.

The valet attendant was extremely nice! He asked if we had eaten there before, told us about the specials, and made several recommendations. Our waitress was pleasant but didn't offer any suggestions -- the valet attendant was nicer and actually did more than the waitress. We started with the $7 truffle french fries (happy hour portion, 4-7pm). They were enough for both of us. Crispy on the outside and soft in the center, but there was only a light dusting of cheese on the top layer of fries. It would be better if it were sprinkled throughout the entire pile. The grilled filet mignon ($52) was not good. It looked like ground hamburger shaped into an oval and had hardly any flavor at all. The lobster ravioli ($42) was just OK and was surrounded by a thin sauce. The flourless chocolate cake ($11) was delicious, and the espresso martini was also good. So the mains weren't great, but the dessert and drinks were. There's plenty of seating inside and outside on the patio. The bathroom was clean. We made reservations, but they didn't seem necessary on a Thursday evening. Highlights: Valet service, dessert, espresso martini, happy hour fries Could be better: Main dishes (filet and lobster ravioli)
