    Bloody Mary

    A Mother's Day outing with my son and it was well worth the 45 minute wait. The service was actually the best part as our waiter was outstanding. The food was great as always and so were our adult cocktails.

    First day in Nashville and we tried this breakfast place... The presentation was awesome ....And the Food is excellent... my Belgian waffle was delicious... so many things on the menu to choose from... We came back a second time during my visit and had lunch... they did not disappoint... I had a 1/2 turkey sandwich & with a cup of hearty vegetable soup... So good ... plus we bought a couple of cookies... I'm mean they were really good...

    Water and condiments.

    I've visited other First Watch locations. This one is actually the closest one to me, but I hadn't made a stop here yet. I'm happy to report that this was as good an experience as the other locations. The servers were attentive and quick to respond to our requests. The food is always delicious, and the rowing seasonal menus make it ideal to visit at least once a season to try the new menu out. Aside from seasons dishes, there are also seasonal drinks. It's always fun to discover what new drinks they have available. Whatever you order, add the million dollar bacon. it is delicious and compliments any plate.

    The food was good. We had the farmhouse and they seemed to have used a different type tomato in the dish. The service was great I ordered online for 10:30 pickup and it was ready at 10:30. It was hot and the plates looked great. The restaurant was humming and very full, but the servers were on top on it. The noise level was really not that bad.

    Pumpkin Spice Donuts

    Run don't walk to First Watch! Excellent menu selections, terrific food and coffee, and our server Tye was great. They have a fall menu selection right now and we tried the pumpkin spice donuts, served with two dipping sauces and they were yummy! Moist and delicious and just a hint of pumpkin and cinnamon. Not a huge restaurant but very cute!

    The Works Omelette

    First Watch used to be my favorite place but it's definitely lacked flavor at some locations and this is one of them. The Brussels hash only had 4 pieces of Brussels sprouts, it was mostly potato and bacon and cheese. Not a lot of goat cheese on the plate either but very generous with the crispy chilli oil, wasn't spicy at all though. Overall, it's a place I'll return to because they have decent dishes but this wasn't one of them. Came in on Saturday and beat the rush, so it was pleasant and clean. Only complaint is how small the tables are, limits how much you can order at a time.

    The food was perfect. So yummy. Diverse menu. Healthy options. Great presentation. The staff really enjoys working and it shows. I love that. . The smoked salmon eggs Benedict was the best I've had with greens and a lemon-ish dressing tossed in it was so yummy. The family devoured their dishes as well. The cinnamon toast milk drink was unique and perfect for brunch.

    Lots of good options from sweet and savory, to hearty and healthy. I came here for to do a working brunch and there was plenty of space and I didn't feel rushed. Would definitely return again when coming back in town to try their more savory options.

    A.M Superfood Bowl
    Carol D.

    Visiting Nashville and this is my second time at First Watch and the food is very good. I love the healthy options (and the not so healthy ones). I opted for healthy and ordered the A.M superfoods bowl which was excellent . My friend had the Ricotta Pancakes, also very good but large. The service was swift and attentive and we really like the location in the Hermitage area. We were not about to go back into downtown or the Gulch a 3rd time with those exorbitant parking fees. We will continue to support businesses outside of the city during future trips.

    First Watch,  Hermitage, TN

    This First Watch is excellent. We had a couple of issues (sometimes, shtuff happens),but our server was right on top of it and they were resolved quickly. Nicki was an amazing server! They have excellent customer service here. The food was amazing. The Million Dollar Bacon is a must have and so are the Million Dollar potatoes. The service... impeccable! The atmosphere is cozy, some noise, but easy to visit and have conversations. I highly recommend First Watch.

    Visiting the area and didn't want the sub par free hotel breakfast. Glad we ventured out as this…read morewas probably the best meal we had while in Nashville. We dined early on a Saturday so it wasn't busy yet. Service was wonderful. Staff told us of their favorites and didn't steer us wrong. You must get the grits! They were delicious! Love how bright the inside is. I will visit again when I am in Nashville next.

    This place was awesome overall. It was pretty crowded, but they moved fast and kept things flowing…read more If you like attentive service with waitresses checking on you often, I'd recommend sitting at a table instead of the bar since the bartenders stay pretty busy. Even with that, we still had a good experience. There was a little mix-up with our food a few people who ordered after us got their meals first, and the table next to us accidentally received our order, so we ended up waiting a bit longer. It was definitely frustrating at the moment, but once our food came out, it made up for it. We had the shrimp and grits along with the steak, eggs, and hashbrowns, and everything was delicious. The sweet cream cold brew was really good, and even though the orange juice was a little small, it still tasted fresh. The atmosphere was nice, and I also liked that they had outdoor seating. Overall, despite the small hiccup, I'd still come back and recommend this spot.

    Just Love Coffee in Hermitage is a welcome addition to the neighborhood and sits in the Northlake…read moreVillage shopping complex that is anchored by Kroger. I have loved, no pun intended, Just Love Coffee for years after visiting a location in Atlanta, so when I wandered over to Hermitage this weekend and spotted the sign...I had to stop by before leaving the area! Just Love is more than just coffee, even though that is what I enjoy most about them. They offer a solid variety of coffee and espresso based drinks along with a few teas and refresher style drinks. The cold brew is my go-to and I fancy it up with a few syrups and some almond milk...but any way it is served is tasty. I have enjoyed the Iced Mocha at other locations, so I imagine it is just as tasty here. For food they have a surprisingly stacked menu including breakfast and lunch, with classics to specialty items. You can get a breakfast sandwich to a few breakfast tacos or even biscuits and gravy...and if you are feeling brave, a waffle stuffed with breakfast meats and eggs topped with gravy or syrup...and that is just for breakfast! For lunch they have a few sandwiches, a quesadilla and a wrap all served with a side of chips. They also offer fresh made desserts if the cookies and other baked goods up front are not doing it for you. The space is well laid out and features a large dining area with plenty of tables and even a small bar/counter space in the nook of the front where you can belly up to the counter for a little work, coffee, food or combination of all. During my visit, I was greeted and served by the owners, a pair of sisters who are an absolute delight! While I popped by for a cold brew, I spotted a few bags of coffee beans and had to scoop them up for some home brew. We chatted through their recommendations and I ended up with an espresso blend and an Ethiopian medium roast. The one blend they recommended the most, Costa Rican, was out unfortunately, but that tells me it is a solid bean, so I will have to keep my eyes out for it! Overall, absolutely adore Just Love Coffee and so glad to see them make their way to the Hermitage area. While I do not go that way often, knowing Just Love is there gives me one more reason to spend a little bit more time in the area!

    Friendly staff and good coffee. Not a use selection for breakfast but the croissant sandwich was…read moreenjoyable.
