    Ham & Gruyère omelette
    William M.

    Server and service was great but the food left a lot to be asked for. Got a ham and Gruyère omelet and it was literally just low quality sandwich meat on the inside and melted sandwich cheese on the outside... also, the potatoes seem like they're cooked from frozen diced potatoes... mushy and not well seasoned. Also, the butter on the toast isn't real butter, but that's minor. Good atmosphere. Expected a lotttt better from First Watch. Don't think I'll come back.

    We checked into the hostess stand and waited almost an hour and never got seated after being told initially that the wait was 15 minutes. I went in and asked about it after waiting 35 minutes. Then when we checked in again after 45 minutes we were told we ignored their text and had to go back to the bottom of the list - which we never received! I understand it was busy, but after checking in personally twice it is very frustrating to end up waiting for an hour and never actually being seated. Another patron also said they had been randomly removed from the waiting list, as well.

    I'm from the North but in the south I seek out First Watch, all day breakfast is my jam. My favs are the skillet dishes and the mocktails are creative. All the servers I've had were great and although it's try crowded you get seated pretty fast.

    Mint Chip Iced Coffee

    A MUST GO, if you're in South Carolina. Really embodies the spirit of southern food with a fresh and delicious modern take. The staff were incredibly friendly and the other patrons felt like eating with family. Everyone and everything was warm and welcoming. We went in and asked the waitress for her recommendations and got them all. 100% delivered on all fronts. Make sure to stop here, say hello, and grab some coffee

    My daughter loves going here. It's very aesthetically pleasing. Anytime we wait, it's not that long and it's worth it. My kids both get some purple drink. I don't know what it's called but it's delicious. The food is always good!

    Power Wrap
    April B.

    I've had three visits so far and am looking forward to the fourth. What You Need to Know: Only open 7AM-2:30PM What I've eaten: Tangerine Dream ($5.29) - Made with all natural ingredients - tangerine, pineapple, organic ginger, cane sugar, and topped with vanilla coconut milk - Fresh and sweet - ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. MANDATORY. Million Dollar Bacon ($5.99) - Four slices of signature hardwood smoked bacon glazed with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne, and a maple syrup drizzle - The perfect blend of savory and sweet. The bacon is crisp and the taste is out of this world. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Power Wrap ($10.99) - egg whites, turkey , spinach, house-roasted Cremini mushrooms, and mozzarella in a sun-dried tomato basil tortilla. Served with fresh fruit and a side of housemade pico de gallo. - I have a love/hate relationship with mushrooms. There are times I love 'em (especially fried mushrooms and in pasta dishes) and there are times where I eat 'em and it ruins everything. I didn't like the mushrooms in this wrap, but once I picked 'em out, this wrap became ABSOLUTE FIRE. Let me clarify and say there wasn't anything wrong with the mushrooms, it's just sometimes I love the taste and sometimes I don't. I would definitely get this wrap again as the taste is PERFECTION, but without the mushrooms. Morning Meditation ($5.29, with Boost Your Juice - +0.99) - Orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave, nectar and beet - I wanted to try this because it was on the citrus side. I was a little hesitant when I saw beet in the ingredient list, but it paired perfectly with the rest of the flavors. Great taste, perfect amount of sweetness, and it's good for you! The Boost Your Juice is a wellness shot of antioxidant rich vitamins. Tri-Fecta ($11.79)- Two fresh cage-free eggs any style with either a light and airy Belgian waffle or a multigrain pancake. Includes your choice of bacon, chicken sausage patty, turkey or pork sausage link (I went with scrambled eggs, a Banana Granola Almond Crunch pancake, and a chicken sausage patty). - PERFECTION. No other description needed. Loved every bite. Other Recommendations Beverage (s): Purple Haze Entrée (s): Trifecta Pancakes: Carrot Cake Pecan Sides: Biscuits and Turkey Sausage Gravy See a visual experience of this review on IG: MissBlackFoodie

    This area needed a breakfast spot, and we got a good one! I usually drive to the one in Fort Mill, but this new location (about 1 week old by the time of my visit) is right by the Premium Outlets off 485. They have ample parking and even more dining room space. It's a well laid out venue with great lighting and an open kitchen setup. I joked with the sever that the cooks looking very happy in the kitchen, and she said "yea we just opened so everything is exciting and fun right now". I didn't have any drinks, but they had a decent assortment of adult beverages and non alcoholic fruit/lemonade concoctions. I decided on the "Parma Hash" scrambled* and it was delicious. The potatoes were cooked to perfection, the eggs were nice and fluffy. Even the toast, which you have 3 choices of : rye/white/wheat added the perfect balance with the sweet creamy butter spread on top. Service was a pleasure, everyone was kind and greeted me with a smile. Our server Zyiara was very detailed and knowledgeable, I appreciate that given they just opened that week. Pro Tip: If you ever get there on the weekend and it's packed, don't shy away from the community table. Have a drink and meet some new people, plus you'll be enjoying your meal while everyone is still standing outside waiting to be called :)

    Excellent visit with First Watch. Our waitress Taylor was absolutely amazing! Thank you for your kind service. Trifecta is my all time fav. The waffle is the absolute best. Bacon was cooked to perfection. What more can you ask for!!

    I savor through my eyes.MORNING MEDITATION FRESH JUICE -Orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beet.

Both meals were delicious. The croissant was perfect, so fluffy and so fresh. The pastries looked really good too, disappointed I didn't grab one of those as well. Service was amazing also. The young man with curly hair (didn't catch his name) was very polite and checked in with us often. He was willing to go through the menu and offer suggestions when we asked. We have two young children and felt comfortable coming here to eat. Sometimes it's hard to find places that have table service that feel welcoming to kids so just wanted to add that here. They even have the triangle crayons to color with that don't roll off the table!

I did notice people drinking while waiting on their table which is a plus. I ordered the savory toast and it was delicious. Light but filling. I also had a chai latte which hit the spot. My fiancé had the poppyseed pancake and omg let me tell you. It was perfect! Sweet but not overly sweet. Moist but not raw with a hint of honey in the mix. The syrup as well had a hit of honey and came out warm. This just added the cherry on the top. Walnuts decorated the tops of the pancakes with a nice crunch and lift sweet taste. The location is great, small yet cozy. If it were a tad bigger, I can see it filling up as well. If I could give this a 10, I would. Don't overthink it, come eat here.

The beer selection was surprisingly mediocre, and they happened to be out of the first two beers my wife and I tried to order, which was a bit disappointing. I went with the barbecue entrée with a vinegar based sauce, which was alright overall. The sides were actually the highlight -- the mashed potatoes and broccoli were pretty good but the garlic toast was unpleasantly oversalted, enough to stand out in a negative way. My wife ordered a burger, and she absolutely loved it. In fact, she's decided it's her favorite burger in the Charlotte area so far. The atmosphere is great for sports fans. There are plenty of TVs, and we enjoyed watching a women's college softball game and a UFL game during our visit. It feels like the kind of spot where you could settle in comfortably for a big game. Service was pleasant enough, not exceptional but friendly and functional. Overall, Dilworth Grille delivers a solid experience with some standout moments.
