    1/2 Salad & Soup (chicken and wild rice)
    Iris F.

    My coworkers and I have been working in Greenwood this week and we have been to first watch twice. I love their options the first day I got breakfast. This time I got half soup sandwich. The chicken and wild rice was delicious. I usually like my soup piping hot, so it could have been heated up a little more. But it was good so I didn't make it a big deal. My salad was the Sweet Honey Pecan. (Minus Pork) Mmmhmm. The honey Dijon dressing with the chicken and pecans was genius. They plate was this close to being licked clean. Very satisfying and just the right amount of food for mid day!

    Came here for a brunch with a pregnant and gluten sensitive friend, she was able to find things she could eat! I was also able to find a dish I like! We had a great time, the food was delicious and and the drink was refreshing The server was attentive and was very knowledgeable and the place looked clean and cared for

    If you are looking for brunch this is the place to be. Everything was delicious. The coffee with rum in it was the real show stopper! My waitress was attentive and very nice. I'll definitely be back.

    Service and staff are amazing here! Everything tasted fresh and crisp'! The juice is a tad strong on ginger but evening else adds to it nicely! Restaurant was clean and had a cozy vibe about! We will be back to this location!

    We did call ahead in the app since it was a Saturday morning and we had 11 in the family. The parking lot was full I was so surprised when we walked that the place wasn't completely packed. The inside is bigger than you think. Our waitress was fast and friendly. The food was so good and so many things on the menu I want to try. I have to go back

    Seasonal Holiday Tacos. I'm not too crazy about pico so it's not on there. Very tasty!!

    9am is a quiet time here. Past experiences have been rather busy with lunch crowd, but they still keep food flowing thru. Lemon curd pancakes stuffed with ricotta have been ordered a second time by my wife. I enjoy finishing them off. The seasonal holiday tacos were the suggestion by the server. Everything was very tasty. Cami was a very nice server.

    I have been to this restaurant twice. I have loved this restaurant chain for decades. Immediately after opening, the food did not meet my expectations. After 6 months,the taste of the food was much improved. Our waiter was attentive. We received good service & the ambiance was nice.

    Seasonal menu February 2024

    It was definitely packed on a Sunday around 11. We just checked in online when we were on the way and got seated almost immediately once we checked in. It is super loud in there so it's not great if you want to have a conversation. I had the barbacoa chilaquiles from the seasonal menu. Chilaquiles is my favorite breakfast so I love seeing it on a menu and will always order it. It had a great balance of fresh toppings like pico and avocado to balance out the richness of the barbacoa, black beans, and sauce. My mom had the traditional breakfast. The sausage was her favorite. She also loved that the leave the full carafe of coffee for you instead of just refilling your cup. My brother liked the chickichanga but wasn't a fan of the breakfast potatoes. He also liked the seasonal Honey Crunch iced coffee. We all split the holey donuts with the berry compote. That was probably the best bite of the whole meal. All the staff were moving quickly and friendly but it still took maybe 30 minutes to get our food. Our plates came out at different times which just an accident I think. We'll definitely be back, I think in the Spring/Summer when we can eat on the patio. It looked like they have a very nice patio with fans and heaters.

    Biscuts and Turkey Gravy, over easy eggs and potatoes
    Madison C.

    We needed more brunch spots on the south-side, so happy to see First Watch in Greenwood. Looks like everyone is enjoying First watch, Ha! We waited 40 minutes to be seated on a Saturday morning and then waited 10 minutes for our drinks to come and 30 minutes for the food to arrive. Hoping wait time improves we are giving them the benefit of the doubt because that they are still new. The Biscuits and turkey gravy with eggs and potatoes was delicious. The lemon ricotta pancakes were good but the lemon custard was a lot, I wish they'd put it on the side instead of plopped on the pancake, next time I would ask for it on the side. None the less it was good!! Ambiance is nice, I love the cardinal mural on the wall. There is not enough room for waiting customers and it doesn't help that customers pay up front right by the front door it was very crowded and overwhelming. Overall, I recommend going to brunch at First Watch. Cheers!

    Veggie sandwich with fresh greens
    Stacie B.

    My friend has mentioned this restaurant multiple times and I've heard good things (she lives in another town) so when it opened near us I was excited to try it. It is a new spot for the Southside so keep that in mind as many people are eager to try it and waits are a bit longer now. The inside is wooden with great style and very airy, lots of tables and booths as well as some space for eating at the bar. Our party of four got a table after about 35 minutes which wasn't bad given the hour, but so give them grace as they are just working out the kinks! Our waitresses were friendly and quick, so we got served quickly once seated and were able to peruse the menu. All of the options for breakfast and brunch are delicious looking, but I tried lunch with a veggie sandwich and fresh salad. It was very fresh and perfectly 'roasted' with the salad being light and flavorful. I would for sure get it again. The rest of the table inhaled their food and said they would return, especially given the portion sizes were good for the cost. One lady even said there was so much meat on hers it was too big to eat! A good problem to have for sure. I enjoyed it and will return to try something else, as many healthy and yummy looking options. Definitely give it a try if you haven't already!

    This wonderful new brunch spot just opened in Greenwood where the former Famous Dave's used to be. When you walk in, the entire place is brightly lit with natural sunlight and it looks clean and inviting. I tried several things - the Purple Haze non-alcoholic drink, cheesy grits, million dollar bacon and the lemon ricotta pancakes. Everything was pretty amazing, with the exception of the grits. The Purple Haze drink is not only beautiful, but tastes light and refreshing- I could definitely sip on those all day. The bacon was perfect- cooked crispy the way I like it and the pancakes were pretty epic! The serving size is huge- I definitely have enough for a third meal. My only dislike was the grits. They weren't bad, but they were a little watery and bland. Will definitely return and bring family in when they're visiting from out of town.

I had a very well balanced Aviation, and took sips of my friends' brambles and old fashioneds. Perfect pre-meal sippers all around. We ordered the gamut, from the pickled beets to the pub burgers. Pretty much everything from the middle "shared plate and veggie" section. My wife and I split a super rich and tasty lamb bolognese. Again, the star of the show was the service and welcoming environment. It's just nice that they also performed on a stage of superbly prepared edibles. Would go again with a big group and maybe get a sitter so we're not leaving a trail of american cheese bits leaving an extra large tip to offset the accidental middle American Hansel and Gretel vibe.

We shared the whipped Ricotta appetizer with a honey jelly center and grilled bread. Delish! I ordered the Rev salad, a perfect blend of spinach and arugula laced with red onion, pecans, and feta cheese and dressed with strawberry vinaigrette. My crab cake bruschetta was delicious - the dots of lemon curd were a perfect accompaniment and the crab meat generously portioned. No leftovers this time, I ate it all, and it was perfectly portioned. Reservations recommended. Five stars from all of us!
