    Menu September 2025

    They emailed me a BOGO coupon so obviously we had to go! We were quickly seated and given menus, the new fall menu items looked really tasty. My partner ordered the Honey Chipotle Chicken Mash from the fall menu and I ordered the Chickichanga. The chipotle chicken mash was tasty, I didn't care for the lemon sauce on top of my dish. I love lemon unfortunately I felt like the sauce took over. My favorite breakfast, well no but it's solid and they have a large menu making it easy for everyone to find something they like. Service was good as well!

    Carne Asada breakfast tacos (seasonal)

    Went on a Thursday morning and they had availability. Lots of seats inside. Plenty of parking in their own parking lot. Staff was friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed the carne asada breakfast tacos from their seasonal menu.

    Trifecta with waffle.

    As a rewards member getting a buy one get one free entree for your birthday is a bonus. Service is always pleasant and courteous. My wife and I both opted for the Trifecta with eggs over medium, pancake(waffle for me), and roasted potatoes rather than a choice of meat. This was the first time I had a waffle there. It was surprisingly light and fluffy. Perhaps a little more of the jam would have been better. Overall, it was a good experience.

    Please see attached. We had an awful experience with our steak and eggs orders for my son and I. Don't order.

    This is a great place for a simple delicious meal with family, friends or just by yourself. I recommend a Morning Meditation drink with your meal.

    Very busy but a great place to go after church. Visit them regularly and always have a great experience. Food is great.

    Good and always consistent! You'll always get a slightly elevated breakfast experience here, and the food is always of quality, fresh, and very well presented. The staff here are very friendly, quick, and caring. The ambiance is very modern, and pretty averaged sized in scale to other brunch restaurants!

    The Traditional Breakfast no meat

    Always my fave. Good service great food. Have not gone to any that has fallen short. The ambiance is on point. Early morning gather with a few friends or just a solo trip still the best

    First Watch is a well executed and enjoyable breakfast and lunch spot! Everyone at First Watch seems happy to be working there, which is always a good sign. They have a huge selection of items on the menu. The orders come out quickly and are prepared consistently. My favorite dishes are the omelettes. The omelettes are served with a small salad and toast. This option makes me happy to have a more healthy meal and fewer calories. The meals are very reasonably priced for a restaurant with table service. My goal is to try every omelette on the menu! There is plenty of free parking surrounding the restaurant. The entrance is very obviously located near the street with the host station just inside the entrance. They can get busy so I do recommend downloading there mobile app to get a place in line before you arrive. Be sure to sign up online so you can get discount offers. A few times during the year they offer discount gift cards as well.

    See, the thing with First Watch is that I know because I can see the containers in their kitchen, that most of their staples come out of a can or a box. I mean the juice is not freshly squeezed, the veggies might be prepackaged, and so on. But the deal is that I don't have the time nor the inclination to crack my own eggs and have to clean the kitchen and dishes afterward, so I get an even exchange here, I pay for time and convenience. The food is just an amenity. We appreciate the good service.

    Daughter chose French Toast which was generous portion and delicious
    Herman P.

    Took the family and my 3 kids to First watch for Sunday "Brunch." We use to live in St Louis and always loved going for the delicious food, great service and always busy which is a good sign. My kids had pancakes and French toast. My wife and I ate the healthy options; egg white omelette and skillet item. Large portions and was hot when served. We were under no rush and enjoyed our time since my daughter was visiting us from St Louis. We've also tried the First on Breckenridge Lane and that one is more busy due to its highly traffic area.

    Ask the Community - First Watch

    Have they opened an outdoor seating area at the Highlands location?

    I don't want to tell you something wrong but they had tables set up in the parking lot. I was there a couple of weeks ago and I paid absolutely no attention to whether or not it was still there.

    How long is your average visit? From arrival to departure?

    It really depends on when you arrive. If there's a long wait before you're seated and they're busy, you could be there 2 - 2.5 hours. If there's no wait, you could be in and out in an hour or less.

    Does this place have outside seating?

    No!

    We were originally on our way to grab coffee, but the name CoreLife Eatery caught my attention &…read moreI'm glad it did. Walking in, I immediately noticed how clean and inviting the space was. The colorful, fun signage actually made me feel more at ease, especially since "build-your-own" spots can feel a little overwhelming at first. I appreciated that they also had pre-made menu options for those of us who don't want to think too hard. I went with the Chicken Chipotle + Tortilla broth, and my boyfriend ordered a steak bowl, both were fresh, flavorful, and honestly hit the spot. Service: Smooth and welcoming Food: Fresh, healthy, and well-seasoned Environment: Clean, bright, and easy to navigate Now, the total came to $34.81, which is a bit on the pricier side, but in today's economy, that's becoming the norm. And for where I am in my health journey, being intentional about what I put into my body matters more than anything. For me, it was worth it. The Verdict: Worth it for a fresh, healthy option, especially when you want something quick but still aligned with your goals. If you're in the Louisville area, I'd definitely recommend checking out this spot, it's the only one here, and it delivers.

I decided to try the ahi tuna poke fire since I was mood for fish. They let me know that they don't have avocado and told me that I can picked one of those ingredients in substitute for avocado. I chose not to because I like all the ingredients and I was fine without avocado. It is very delicious. I enjoyed the meal a lot. The lady was very nice and understanding. I would like to come back again because the ingredients are all fresh and delicious.

    Meesh Meesh is highly rated do a reason: they're doing it all well…read more Located in NuLu, this place has had buzz from the beginning, and it's still a hot ticket. I was able to score a visit recently on Derby Week, and that will be one of the highlights of Derby Week this year for me. We arrived shortly before our reservation time after hearing that our table was ready. I was seated at the bar, to be joined by my good friend a few minutes later. The cocktail menu sounded intriguing, and I started with an Oopsie Daisy and she sprung for Fighting Words. As we sipped our drinks, we perused the menu and decided on an array of mezze as our meal that night. Crispy cauliflower arrived first, followed shortly by tuna tartare, then whipped labneh and spring pea hummus. They even provided a gluten free pita option for the gluten sensitive in our party. Out of our choices, the cauliflower and the spring pea hummus were my favorites, although everything was very good. Throughout our meal, the staff was attentive and kept our waters full, cleared plates as appropriate, and made sure we didn't need anything else during our visit. Worth every one of its 5 stars, I think you'll enjoy Meesh Meesh just as much when you go, too!

    MeeshMeesh Mediterranean…read more We had the most lovely night at MeeshMeesh tucked right into the heart of NuLu. From the second we walked in, it felt warm and welcoming, like being invited into someone's home for dinner. The space is intimate without feeling cramped, and we were lucky enough to grab a cozy window seat. It had that perfect hum of conversation where you feel the energy of the room but can still talk easily. Our waitstaff were incredible, thoughtful and genuinely kind in a way that made the whole night feel relaxed and personal. We started with an olive oil washed martini that was crisp, silky, and honestly just really good. A simple drink done beautifully. Then we decided to go all in and order the Shefa, Chef Noam's guided family style feast. You choose a main and then the kitchen takes you from there. Plates started arriving in waves and the table slowly filled with color and texture. The first taste included chamutzim pickles, fresh herbs and vegetables, matbucha, and labneh with za'atar. We added the tuna tartare, which was bright and fresh and such a nice contrast to the richness of the spreads. Everything invited you to tear into the warm pita and pass plates back and forth. The salatim followed with shawarma spiced chicken and crispy cauliflower, full of flavor but not heavy. It was the kind of food that makes you slow down because you don't want to miss anything. We shared a bottle of Chateau Musar Musar Jeune from Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, and it paired so beautifully with the warmth and spice of the meal. The star of the night was the lamb merguez with cucumber yogurt, dill, and pistachios, served alongside jeweled rice with pepitas and cranberry chutney. It was deeply spiced, comforting, and somehow both bold and cozy at the same time. It honestly felt like being wrapped in a hug. You could taste the care behind it. Dessert sealed it. Warm chocolate babka and coconut malabi with seasonal preserves. Sweet but balanced and the perfect way to end the evening. More than anything, what stood out was how personal the whole experience felt. Nothing about it felt trendy or forced. It felt rooted, intentional, and full of heart. You can sense there's a story and a family behind this food. If you're in Louisville, MeeshMeesh is truly special. Perfect for a celebration, a date night, or just a night where you want to sit at a table, share plates, and feel taken care of.

I ordered off the breakfast menu and got the huevos rancheros and a blueberry muffin. The eggs were cooked to order and the potatoes were delicious! The muffin was okay. It was a bit on the dry side and would be skipped next time. My friend got a BLT and wasn't impressed. One piece of bread was soft while the other was hard, almost stale. It's a beautiful space but the meal was a disappointment.
