    Bacado. Million Dollar Potatoes. Toast.
    Joseph H.

    The food here was so good and the atmosphere was very cozy. The wood look on the walls and the country feel of the interior gave a good vibe. Our server was spot on with everything and checked on us throughout the meal. Price wise it is very reasonable for the size of the meal and with fast food chains going close to 10-12 for a cheap meal you add a few more dollars and have a great meal here. I will be a repeat visitor any time I'm in town.

    We met family visiting in town at First Watch on Broadway this past weekend. We arrived at 8:30 and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available. First watch also has high chairs and stands for infant carriers - both of which we used! The menu featured your standard breakfast/brunch options & also offered the nutritional information which is helpful in making dining choices! I had the avocado toast with 2 eggs - it was great and a good portion size with plenty of avocado. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their breakfast as well- our 2 year old particularly enjoyed his HUGE biscuit and cheesy eggs!

    We decided to go here for breakfast (I've been wanting to go for the longest time). When we first walked in I thought we're going to have to wait to be seated but no we were seated right away. The hostess was very friendly and so was the server . I ordered the pumpkin spice pancake platter and when it arrived I thought to myself I can't eat the whole thing but I did ! The server came with a warm bottle of real maple syrup as well . It was sooo good ! My friend had two eggs over easy , breakfast sausage and potatoes (she said the potatoes were really good ). For as busy as it was the dining room didn't seem to be loud at all.(I think everyone was enjoying their brr as much as we were ). They do have outdoor seating which I would have been just as happy to sit outside as well.

    Ordering here will lead your taste buds to doing the happy dance!! I ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. The lemon and strawberries made the perfect mix of sweet and sour. It was so moist and a perfect compliment to the pancakes. The Chicken Apple Sausage was perfectly seasoned and so flavorful.

    Traveling from Dallas. Fantastic service all around, server was Jade. Food was fast and good.

    My 1st visit at this location. I really recommend taking a look at seasonal menu. There is usually some really good stuff there. Mine came with a cup of fruit & it was summer right of the vine fresh. Never go wrong with breakfast here.....

    French Toast (berry compote on the side)  Kids chocolate chip pancake (subbed chocolate chips for blueberries)

    Came here for a quick brunch with my husband and daughter. Very family friendly environment. Had indoor or outdoor patio seating. Tons of different craft drink options both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. My husband went with an iced Mint Mojito type coffee and I got iced coffee. His mint coffee was very delicious with lots of flavor, not overly minty, you can still taste your coffee. My iced coffee, I had to verify it didn't have alcohol in it, because it tasted like it had some. I'm thinking they use a coffee concentrate because when I added more water to my iced coffee that weird alcohol flavor went away. My husband and I both got French toast with the berry jam on the side (definitely use it, it's delicious). And my daughter destroyed her blueberry pancake which ended up being ginormous. Overall a great experience, the coffee thing put me off a little bit. The service was great and very attentive! Hoping to come back and update a review!

    We like. First Watch is a small chain in KY/OH. Hoping they emigrate to TX soon. Great menu. Great service. Great food. Cocktails are a little weak.

    lemon ricotta pancakes

    What a delicious find. To get both quantity and quality is rare but First Watch offers both. My Lemon ricotta pancakes were magical.

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes.  These are amazing!!! The customer service is always excellent with amazing food!:)

    Amazing food and customer service. Their variety is such an amazing far stretch. I would highly recommend coming here!

Nashville really turned us on to the biscuit breakfast so when we saw that Lexington had some choices we knew we had to try! We stopped into Biscuit Belly on a recent Wednesday morning on our way out of town and were greeted with the nicest staff, waiting to take our order. We had a few questions and the man at the register was super knowledgeable and extra kind!! When we stop into a new place, my husband and I enjoy ordering a couple of different options and sharing so we can both try more things in one visit! :) The biscuit belly choices made this difficult, so many items look amazing!! My husband ordered the Mama's boy and I ordered the Fire in your Belly! Both of the sandwiches were delicious! The Mama's boy had the most tasty jalapeño pimento cheese and the perfect accompaniment, a fried green tomato on top!! This was a great combo! The Fire in your belly felt like a more simple sandwich, with less on it, but the flavors went so well together, it ended up being our favorite!! The cheddar cheese really brought everything together so nicely!! Both also came with delicious pickles which doesn't sound like it fits into a breakfast entree, but it truly did!!! :) We enjoyed both the loaded tots and cheesy grits on the side! If you get a chance to stop into a Biscuit Belly sometime, I would definitely make your move!! ;) We don't have places like this up North and that's a sad, sad thing!!

On a Sunday night, there was a wait, but we were able to snag two seats at the bar. The bartenders were great--I wish I remembered their names! They made some excellent food and drink recommendations and were very attentive. We started with a Caesar salad to share, which isn't pictured, and then ordered two pasta dishes that we absolutely devoured. Everything was delicious! The following day, we discovered that many restaurants are closed on Mondays, so we ended up at Carson's again. This time, we decided to check out the back porch. We were expecting a similar menu, but the back porch seemed to focus more on meat and fish options, while we were looking for sandwiches. So, we relocated to the main dining area at Carson's without a reservation. Thankfully, the hostess was able to seat us but let us know that we would need to be finished dining by 7 p.m., which wasn't a problem for us. Our server was great, and we started with the goat cheese appetizer, which was absolutely incredible! Unfortunately, my Buffalo chicken sandwich was drenched in Buffalo sauce to the point that I couldn't really enjoy it. My spouse and I also decided to share sides of the mac and cheese and smoked Gouda broccoli. I was pretty disappointed with both because they were heavily covered in truffle, which I personally don't like. Because of that, I wasn't able to enjoy my second meal here as much as I had hoped. Nonetheless, I would still recommend checking out Carson's. There are plenty of menu options, and our first experience was fantastic. Based on my two visits, though, I would strongly recommend making a reservation if you plan to dine here!
