    The WORKS OMELETTE, such a full plate and pretty
    Manuela P.

    Had a wonderful time this morning. My friend and I loved our server Ellyanna! I tried the dish of the day: BlackBerry Lemon Creme French Toast, I added a mixed greens salad that had a lemon vinaigrette. (Didn't get a picture of the side bowl) The flavors of the French Toast all blended so well together, syrup wasn't even needed. The mixed greens was a great touch and I'm so glad I added that. My friend ordered an omelette that was similar to her favorite 'western' omelette', she had them take "The Works" omelette, omitted the mushrooms and added green peppers. Her side was hash brown style of potatoes. The dish was so large she took about half home with her. She also loved having a pot of coffee on the table so she always had hot coffee which is her favorite drink of choice. In closing.... Go to this FIRST WATCH, and ask for the wonderful Elyanna for GREAT service.

    First Watch is always a great choice for brunch. My go-to is the "Trifecta." Highly recommend!

    Power wrap with side of fruit
    Mahauganee S.

    Tried it again a few days later and this is still a solid experience that falls short on just a few food related things. We switched it up today and tried the Barbacoa burrito and power wrap alongside some of our standard options. Both wraps were lacking on seasoning. The food was pretty perfectly made but the flavor wasn't there and tortillas are too delicate to be unwrapping just to season your food and trying to reassemble. The staff was great as usual. We were a family of 6 today and got seated after 27 minutes on the waitlist. I will also say that the restrooms are small. There are only two stalls (a large spacious one and a teensy tiny one). My 3yo needed to go twice and the larger stall was full each time with someone taking a long potty break. We ended up in the small one. In order to get inside and close the door, I had to have her walk on the side of the toilet all the way to the back wall in order for me to step inside on the same side of the toilet and close the door behind us. To get out, we had to each stand on one side of the toilet because the door opens inward and swings about 1 inch from the toilet. It is impossibly tight in there.

    A rare Five Star for a First Watch, I usually penalize them one Star for making me take my check up to pay. However, this location, rather small, was normal food perfection, store is clean as a whistle but the service, a miss Kelsey, was dynamite. I wasn't really in the mood for First Watch for the second day in a row but I am glad we stopped.

    Highly recommend this First Watch location for Breakfast! This was my spot for breakfast every morning while in town, and I can tell you it was consistently good! The service was above and beyond, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful! Do yourself a favor, head in to First Watch for your next meal. You'll be glad you did!!!! Highly recommend!

    My girlfriend decided to treat me to birthday breakfast at one of my favourite restaurants. On our road trip to Kentucky, we stopped at this First Watch today and our experience simply awesome! As we approached the door, we were greeted and a server opened the door for us. We got in and we were seated and another server was over promptly to get our drink orders. I love their organic tea selections and that they brought over a pot of hot water for the table. We enjoyed our tea. For my breakfast meal, I had the Sunrise Granola Bowl. In this bowl, you have non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt layered with fresh, seasonal fruit, nuts and their house-made granola. It came with fresh baked muffin. I also had their Multrigrain Blueberry Pancakes. Do go with this, I also ordered the Golden Glow. In this drink, you have pineapple, turmeric, orange, coconut water and lemon. I ate well! My girlfriend went for the Smoked Salmon and Roasted Vegetable Frittata. In this meal, you are getting a classic frittata with Wild Alaska Smoked Sockeye Salmon, house-roasted shallots and tomatoes topped with Parmesan cheese, a chive cream drizzle and fresh herbs. Served with ciabatta toast. She choose Morning Meditation Fresh Juice to go with her meal. In the juice you are tasting orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beet. There's no First Watch we have been to and been disappointed. We were pleased with the service we received. I had a First Watch voucher for buy one and get one free meal for my birthday. We were able up use the voucher without any issues. To those passing through, searching for a good place to have breakfast or brunch, I recommend First Watch. You won't be disappointed.

It's a great place to go to get a lot of southern comfort foods, some with nice twists as well, and it has a full bar, and open for all meals I believe. We went years ago to the first location in Knoxville, maybe a few times, but felt "been there done that" as more and more good restaurants came downtown. Happy to see this new location, closer to a lot of things we do in west Knox. I had a GREAT lunch. Bloody Mary, then one of their low-cost specials ($11 for a half sandwich and side, basically). The sandwich was hot chicken with ranch and pickles and it was scrumptious. I had a problem choosing sides- so many great options including brussel sprouts, fried okra, Mac&cheese and salads.....I finally chose the green beans with bacon. Oh, they were soooo good. I could have made my meal just that and some cornbread. Next time I may get a veggie platter or just get extra sides, gotta try the others to see if they are cooked as well. So how can I not give that 5 stars?

We're not expecting ultra-authentic Mexican food everywhere, but if you can't even get close, maybe don't put tacos on the menu because this felt genuinely insulting. We ordered the "small" taco board that we were told would feed 2-3 people, and it came with bland shredded chicken that tasted boiled, plus carrots, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, and corn scattered across the board like stir-fry vegetables. It also included the smallest portion of steak with chimichurri (Argentinian not Mexican), bland green salsa, terrible store-bought tasting red salsa, and "homemade" tortillas. There was almost no seasoning or flavor in any of it. The photo attached is just the chicken portion of the board because honestly the rest wasn't even worth photographing. The $15 guacamole was also extremely underwhelming for the price -- tiny portion of chips, one tiny lime wedge, and we were brought salt so we could finish seasoning it ourselves. Service was okay, but overall spending around $75 for two beers, guacamole, and food we barely wanted to finish was frustrating. Sadly, the ambiance and decor were the best part of the experience. Safe to say we will not be coming back.

I ordered The Farmer, a chicken biscuit with cheese, bacon, and apple butter. The biscuit was warm and fresh, the bacon was crispy, and the chicken patty was quite substantial. The poor thing was drowning in apple butter though, which made it too wet (and too sweet). Even scraping some of it off it was already too soggy. A tad less sauce and it would be perfectly balanced. The smashbrowns had a nice crisp and I enjoyed the kick of the pepper jam. Also, big fan of the cute coffee bar. I could taste the hints of maple in the coffee.

Inside, you order at the counter (as opposed to having a server), which was actually fine with me.

Overall, the sausage sandwich I got was decent but nothing crazy good. My wife's experience with her Power Bowl was similar. I'll probably skip this place next time and try a different breakfast spot, but it was a decent experience.

I hate to desecrate beef, but I had to season her up with a little bit of A1 steak sauce. I'm not overly disappointed, I knew what I was walking into, I just wanted to try something different than what I typically get at this place. But I do know the cook knows his stuff. I would eat here again though.
