Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl
D B.

Stopped at this location for the first time. Very busy and we were put on a wait list. Took about 10 min to get a seat. We sat and had to wait a long while before someone asked to take our drink order. Did not receive lemon in one of the waters as asked. Also, when placing a food order, the waitress was pretty rude to my daughter and said, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Listen lady, it's loud in there. Be a little more friendly, and perhaps apologize for not being able to hear her properly. Also, when she brought our beverages, we all thanked her and she said nothing. Waitress never came back and asked how our food was or if we need anything else. It was awkward. Food was good tho. A different lady brought food and was way friendlier. I probably would not visit this location again. Way too loud and not welcoming. Overall, disappointing experience.

My Last Visit Here the Service Was Awful. We were very patient bc it was Labor Day, but everything faltered. My husband ordered the special in the Fall Menu and just said no onion and ham instead of bacon. They didn't even bring him the cheese, egg, and avocado on the entree. Server proceeded to say it was his fault that he made modifications and shouldn't have done that. When looking at our receipt, she charged for an extra coffee which I did not have. Lastly, he had a birthday coupon yet he had to pay full price for his entree that half of the ingredients were not even there in the first place. The server tried to care at the end bc of her tip but hey to little too late. This location also has a huge echo and you won't be able to have a conversation.

Biscuits and gravy, eggs, potatoes.   Very good gravy.

Been here several times, every time is a winner. Food good, service good, atmosphere good. Biscuits and gravy are phenomenal. Belgian waffles fresh. Kids menu good value.

Make your own omelette. Yummy

Today we needed a pick me up and came by for a late breakfast. Were greeted promptly and seated in a booth. Tiffany our server brought coffee and helped us with selections. My eggs were perfect and the bacon crispy. My husband's omelet made to perfection. It was a nice place to regroup to continue the day. The bathrooms were clean and the restaurant tidy. Check it out.

Such a delicious omelette :)

One of my go to places for brunch on Saturdays! I always love the atmosphere and ambiance coming here. Wide open dining room really gives a homey and communal feeling. The people working here are friendly and super awesome. They bring the food out quick and keep the coffee and drinks full. The food itself was delicious as well. My omelette was a huge portion size, with lots of breakfast potatoes and some delicious multigrain toast. They also did not skimp on the filling in the omelette. Just know that Saturdays can be super busy, so sometimes it can be hard getting the attention of your server. But otherwise, fantastic place! :)

Chicken Quinoa Bowl

3 things about this place: 1. Welcoming staff and was seated right away. The place was a little hidden for me but was able to find it without a problem. Clean environment with wide spaces with different seatings available. The waitress was fantastic and couldn't have asked for a better one. 2. Coffee was excellent and was freshly brewed. Omelets, Biscuits and Gravy, and Quinoa bowl were ordered and they came out faster than I anticipated. Portions were a good size and the price was very reasonable. 3. Omelets tasted very good along with the quinoa bowl. However, water had to be asked since it was never brought to us. Water is a given at a restaurant and shouldn't have been asked. Overall, this place is great for breakfast/lunch spot and will be back to try other items on the menu!

Million dollar bacon

What a fantastic find!! Looking for great food and service well this is definitely the place, friendly atmosphere quick service and delicious food and drinks. It was good we returned the next day for breakfast again!! The good is prepared fresh and nice size portions, both days food was delicious. They offer fresh juices, flavored creamers, just love. The decor with the unique lighting and openness of the restaurant. Unfortunately I live in the West Coast. We don't have this type of restaurant out here, but returning to Florida. I'll definitely be back.

Went on a Sunday right after church service. We made it just before the rush started to happen around 10:30 am. The waiter was great. Food was great. The food came out of the kitchen in a timely manner. Though there was a wait at the door, we didn't feel rushed by the staff to scarf down our food and leave. Ambiance was average. The coffee was really good!

The works omelette

Oh how I'd love first watch, but every location you go to is always so different. This is the location closest to my house and my preferred location. They always have extremely pleasant service, and food times are relatively quick even when the store is busy. Food Freshness is always top-notch. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the coffee, but that is just because it is too dark for my liking. They are a chain restaurant, so corporate decides these menu items. My lack of five stars is due to my personal experience, with takeout. I have had several instances where multiple items have been missing. But I want to say, how management handles these situations, is make it or break it for me. Mistakes happen. This location prides itself on making sure their customer experience is satisfactory, and is happy to make things right. It is the reason this is my preferred location, as it feels like having a family breakfast. I will always give them the benefit of the doubt, and every time, my experience has only gotten better.

Went for brunch at this First Watch after shopping at the Tampa outlets. This First Watch is conveniently located about a mile away, down State Road 54. I've personally never been to this location. Upon entering I noticed it seemed new, and was modern and clean. My server Brandon approached our table to provide drinks and take our order. Brandon was very attentive and it was appreciated. The food arrived fast and was delicious.

Brunchies is a well-avocado-oiled machine! While it's busy on the weekend, the line doesn't take…read morelong because they're amazingly efficient. It's a busy energetic diner vibe with plenty of families and kids. Cute local art on the walls makes me think I should paint something when I get home. Waitstaff were hustling but are super friendly and took excellent care of us. Food cake out super quick and everything was delicious! Simple things like English muffins were executed to delicious perfection, eggs all cooked spot on. And the menu is HUGE! Lunch, breakfast, pancakes, eggs, omeletts, club sandwiches....anything you want....you got it. And all yummy. Only issue is that it's so popular it was a little bit of a chore to park....but totally worth the trouble!

Out of my bookmarks and into my belly. Finally, after years of thinking about Brunchies, now I can…read moretalk about Brunchies-and there are good things to say. It's in a strip mall, along SR 54-west of Wesley Chapel, but not by much. It was bigger inside than I expected and had a cozy/quaint family feel to it. Lots of tables booths-busy on a Monday morning but no wait-and it wasn't loud-just "humming." My server came right away. He was polite and attentive and kept track of me well. I appreciated his offer of a to go cup for my water. This was going well. And then, there's the food. I ordered the goddess omelet-made with three egg whites, spinach and so much gorgeous, salty, tangy, glorious feta. I didn't wake up thinking I was going to have the best omelet of my life that day... but phhh, I did! It was filling, but not heavy or greasy. It was cooked to perfection-and the fillings were fresh and abundant. It came with potatoes (or grits) that were also cooked perfectly-not soggy or too hard-and lucky for me, no onions. It was also the perfect portion. Any more and I would have felt guilty for eating them all (I never leave a potato bite behind). And... after craving bacon for about a month... I gave in and got some-nice big slices, thick and crispy. This was a happy and tasty surprise. A clean, casual, yummy place with plenty of parking. I will be back to Brunchies a bunch(ies).
