Been a First Watch fan for nearly a decade now, this was maybe my 2nd or 3rd visit to this particular location. Two of us came on a Friday lunch break and were able to get immediately seated, it was moderately busy. Our server was quick, attentive, and friendly. We ordered and enjoyed the Shrimp & Grits from their 2025 summer menu - and felt it was outstanding! Also, went with my classic order of the Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl - I sometimes crave the savory flavor with the house roasted cremini mushrooms and tomatoes - they really sell it for me. The sausage lacked flavor, I could go without it and enjoy the bowl as equally as I did with it. We were a little cold inside, maybe bring a light cover up when the AC is on. Regular visitor tip - get signed up for emails and birthday rewards, they actually comped the more expensive entree for the birthday bogo meal, what a gift!!!

Brunch alfresco for us on this visit. Crowded inside but several empty tables outdoors - with a cool breeze to boot! It has been a while since we dined here, but nothing has changed... Great service, delicious, food, and decent prices. Note: the word staff was pretty slammed with the crush of customers inside, so we sat for a few minutes outside. But in the blink of an eye, one of the "wait staff supervisors" came to our table & took both our drink & our food order. That's great service awareness. My delicious salmon, eggs, Benedict. (a delicious variation from the traditional ham/Canadian bacon), came out perfectly cooked. It was served on a ciabatta roll that was slightly toasted, but a bit too chewy and hard to cut. Probably would've been even tastier on more highly toasted, ciabatta or sourdough. Home fries were spot on but over salted for some palates. My dining companion's eggs were cooked well, but the avocado "cold" toast was a bust. (That's about the only stumble in our meal.) It was great to be back in the loop of dining out.

I love First Watch but this experience was not the best. This restaurant has practically no service. The waiter didn't give us clean utensils and she didn't come back after the food was given to us. We waited a few minutes and then I had to get up and get them myself. The restaurant clean inside and the food was good and that's the reason they get 3 stars.

Kind and prompt staff! Great menu of options and cute brunch vibe. The food was delicious and not egregiously expensive!

Fall up menu.

If you are in the area, I would definitely give this place a shot. It opened nice and early and the food selection was very nice. My food came pretty quickly after I ordered, even though the restaurant was busy.

A very SAD  "Million Dollar Harvest Hash" to-go and it came missing FIVE ingredients  with the wrong kind of potatoes
Ashley D.

This chain is not going to operate very long serving like this. PICTURED: A very SAD "Million Dollar Harvest Hash" missing FIVE ingredients with the wrong kind of potatoes (supposed to be sweet potatoes), 1 lousy piece of bacon chopped up, TWO lonely mushrooms, (I dare you to find them in the pic ) -- and two bites of kale. Million dollar my ---. What happened??! I don't get it. MISSING: arugula, hot honey sauce, goat cheese, lemon dressing, Monterey Jack. This million dollar harvest isn't worth the million. It was Missing half the ingredients! MISSING FIVE ingredients -- this wasn't even close to what I ordered.

Eggs Benedict with extra crispy bacon and a side salad.

I walked in, glanced at the menu for approximately 2.7 seconds, and knew exactly what destiny had in store for me: the Salted Queen Caramel Latte. (Yes ma'am. Royalty in a cup.) I placed my order with a young lady who was polite, friendly, and engaging, the kind of person who makes you feel like you've been coming there for years, even if you just figured out where to stand. Five-star customer service before the caffeine even hit. Seating options? Oh, they've got you covered. You can sit outside upstairs and pretend you're in a Hallmark movie, or stay inside where it's cool and comfortable. We chose inside. The high-top table had USB ports and electrical plugs, which is a classy move. Nothing says "we care" like letting people charge their phone while they charge their soul. And yes, there's WiFi if you feel the need to actually work instead of just looking productive. Then I heard it, my name called out like I'd just won a prize. I stepped forward... and met my Salted Queen Caramel Latte. Wow. It was better than expected. Smooth. Rich. Perfectly balanced. I took one sip and this Old GOAT almost fainted. Which is ironic... because that's exactly where we were. If you live in Franklin and haven't tried The Fainting Goat Coffee, you're missing out. Go meet the Queen. Just be prepared... you might faint.

Great experience here! Immediately was thrilled for the parking lot and ease of coming and going…read more Once stepping in, I was thankful for how they set up their orders with a great layout of how they used their space. It didn't take them long for them to make my drink, a salted queen latte, even though they were quite busy. I'm sure thanks to how they have their space setup as well as some fabulous workers! Loved how there were more private booth spaces. Genius! The drink was nummy + exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much, Fainting Goat Coffee!! Hey next time carry more sizes of shirts so I can continue to spread word of your great coffee shop!

If you're in Nashville and craving a Southern breakfast done right, Biscuit Love definitely lives…read moreup to the hype. It is a cute place with a walk up to order and the server brings it to your table. We started with a latte, which was smooth, rich, and the perfect way to kick off the morning. The star of the table right away though was the bonuts--Biscuit Love's famous fried biscuit dough bites. They were warm, fluffy, lightly crispy on the outside, and coated in sugar with a hint of lemon mascarpone for dipping. Basically little pillows of happiness. The mini biscuits & gravy were classic comfort food. The biscuits were soft and buttery, and the gravy was creamy and packed with savory sausage flavor. It's a smaller portion but still incredibly satisfying. And then there was the chronic bacon--thick cut, caramelized with brown sugar and black pepper. Sweet, smoky, and slightly spicy, it's the kind of bacon you keep thinking about long after the meal is over. Everything felt fresh, indulgent, and very "Nashville brunch." The menu is playful but still rooted in traditional Southern flavors. Definitely worth the stop if you're exploring the city and want a memorable breakfast.

I can't believe I live only 7 minutes away from this place and this is the first time I've eaten…read morehere! When you walk in, you place your order at the counter, grab your number, and find a seat. There's counter seating, several tables inside, or you can head outside where they have a few covered tables. Once seated, they bring your drinks out to you. After we got our drinks, it did take a little while for the food to come out, longer than I expected. Luckily, we had plenty of business to talk about, so the time passed quickly. Then the food arrived, and it was worth the wait! I ordered the Easy Nasty... because that's how I roll! The biscuit was a buttermilk layered-style biscuit, lighter than a traditional Southern biscuit, and it was fantastic. The chicken fingers were lightly battered and cooked perfectly, then topped with cheddar cheese sausage gravy. I added an over-easy egg on top, and breaking that yolk took this dish to a whole new level. Absolutely amazing! We also ordered the Southern Benny, which came with shaved country ham, eggs, and sausage gravy on a biscuit and they loved it. We added a side of cheese grits as well, which were very good. Suggestions, Besides the wait for the food, they were not very attentive to filling your drinks. Also, If you had water they had a self serve station, but it was a disaster. While we were there we watched one kid drop his whole cup of water on the floor, and several adults not turning off the nozzle and let it run. It would be better to have one person stroll the restaurant with a water pitcher. Overall, the food was excellent. If you're in a hurry, this may not be the place to stop, but if you're south of Franklin and looking for a great breakfast spot, this is definitely worth checking out.
