    Smoked Salmon Benedict
    Michelle M.

    I have been to this First Watch location twice since it opened and both experiences have been wonderful so far. Both visits had minimal wait and there's freshly brewed coffee in the waiting area so it wasn't too bad. For entrees, we have tried the Biscuits and Turkey Sausage with Eggs, Salmon Benedict, and Multigrain Pancakes (with real maple syrup). Everything is hot and delicious when it gets to the table. The servers are nice and checks in every now and then. The coffee is amazing especially when freshly made. The prices are reasonable and the ambiance is casual. I'm just glad that there's an additional option for weekday brunch in our area. I can't wait to be back!

    Party of 4 on a Thursday for lunch, crowded yet seated quickly in a clean booth. Everyone was pleased with the drink orders- regular coffee and morning meditation. Food included ricotta pancakes, Belgian waffle and am super foods bowl. The turkey sausage was a little tough, asked for a replacement and they were still a bit overcooked but better. They do not have the full menu at this location yet. It was beautifully decorated but at times difficult to converse in the booth from all the noise, not sure if this is a design flaw or especially noisy customers that day.

    Finally was able to get to First Watch! It's been on my list since they've opened. I got there for brunch on a Friday. I'm not surprised they were pretty busy. Definitely use the app to get your name on the list. We only had to wait a couple of minutes before we were seated. Service was good. Our server took really good care of us. The decor was open, bright and very inviting. Great menu for breakfast, brunch and lunch

    Amazing delicious food. Fantastic service. Brightly lit and open concept dining room. We enjoyed our meal just like at all the other locations. No complaints here. We ordered all our favorites and everything came out perfect.

    Stopped in at the new First Watch the first Monday they were open (March 2, 2026). Apparently they conducted a soft opening over the weekend. I was seated at a table and I ordered the Farmhouse Hash, as well as a couple side dishes: A biscuit with sausage gravy and a side of bacon - plus coffee. The coffee came up first - decent coffee for a restaurant. I requested real Half n' Half for my coffee (not the room temp. chemical creamers that are already on the table). They were happy to bring some out! The food came out about 10 minutes later. I added the appropriate amounts of black pepper and hot sauce to the hash and the sausage gravy. Evetything was tasty! I could not eat the whole thing - and so took the rest to go for later. When it's time to pay your bill - you have options. You can either scan the QR code on the bill and pay @ your table using your smart phone - or you can go to the register and pay there. Both options support Apple Pay. Service was excellent! Nice addition to the area's breakfast options! #FirstWatch

    Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Second time going. Everything blew me away. My hubby and I are foodies and we tried to do a lunch date every Friday. Been married for 20 years. We had an amazing amazing turkey and biscuit gravy and Barbacoa tacos. Service was exceptional. Ysmael was our server and he told us so much history about the Resturant and the owners and all the food. That's basically Farm table. We started with the bloody Mary, which comes with bacon. Enough said go here regret your life.

    Came for brunch on a weekday during opening week. Service was excellent. Food was good. Nice addition to the western PW restaurant scene! Coffee was really good too!

    This was our final visit to The Omelette Cafe…read more The food itself was fine, but unfortunately everything else about the experience was bad enough that I will never return. I also do not want a response from the owner or management. I genuinely wish this small local business well, but I can no longer justify giving it another chance. During our previous visits, we already felt the value compared to the pricing was becoming questionable, but we wanted the restaurant to succeed. Today sealed the deal. When we arrived, only about 4 or 5 of the roughly 12 tables were occupied, with two waiters working the dining room. Most of the empty tables were dirty, many still covered with dishes from previous customers. The floor throughout the dining room was dirty and covered with debris. One waiter asked how many were in our party and directed us to a table. He sprayed and wiped only half the table with Windex. The other half, where the condiments were sitting, remained dirty. A few minutes after sitting down, I unfortunately put my finger directly into old sticky syrup that had clearly not been cleaned. The waiter took our order fairly quickly, but then poured cream directly into our coffees instead of letting us add it ourselves. Mine ended up with far too much cream. While waiting to use the restroom, I had a clear view into the kitchen area and noticed the kitchen floor appeared just as dirty as the dining room floor. What stood out most was that neither waiter seemed aware of or concerned about the overall cleanliness of the restaurant. There was no sense of urgency or attention to the condition of the dining room. After waiting several minutes for the men's restroom, one waiter told me to go ahead and use the women's restroom instead. The restroom itself seemed reasonably clean, but the paper towel dispenser was broken, and a loose roll of paper towels was sitting on top of the toilet, damp from previous use. When we were ready to leave, one waiter asked how the service was. At that point, I simply wanted to leave as quickly as possible, so I said it was fine. He then left the payment machine at the table for me to run my own card, and even the machine itself was damp and unclean. Overall, the entire restaurant felt sticky, dirty, and poorly maintained. The tables were not being properly cleaned, the floors were sticky throughout the restaurant, and the overall lack of cleanliness completely overshadowed the meal itself. I truly wish this business success, but after three visits, I will not be returning.

But trust me, this is one of those places you'll be glad you found. I love Turkey, and the second I tried their food, it genuinely took me right back. We ordered the traditional Turkish breakfast, and it was one of those meals where the food just keeps coming in the best way possible. Everything felt fresh, flavorful, comforting, and so clearly made with care. We also tried the flatbread, a meat wrap, smoothies, their special soup which was so good I would absolutely go back just for that, warm catmir for dessert, and a bunch of appetizers. Honestly, everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. I also had the chance to meet the owner and chef, who was incredibly kind and clearly puts so much heart into this place. And the restaurant itself completely surprised me because it is way bigger inside than you'd expect. Super clean, modern, beautifully designed, and honestly such a cute brunch spot. Weekend music nights? Love that. Girls brunch? Absolutely. Date night? Definitely. Family dinner? 100 percent. Finding the love of your life? Slightly better odds if someone's mom brings their eligible son. Overall, this really is such a lovely hidden gem and absolutely worth checking out if you're craving authentic Turkish food in the Manassas area.

We came here for Mother's Day, they don't take reservations so we made sure to arrive right when they opened. We walked right in and within 30 min there was a line of about 30 people waiting to be seated. This place is HUGE and they still had a big line, but let me tell you it is worth it!!! Service was impecable, shout out to our server Ilke, she was so nice and attentive. She recommended getting my serpme, which was perfect to share for 2 adults and two kids. It comes with a variety of spreads, sweet and savory. All freshly made. The fig jam, butter and honey, feta spread and tomato one were amazing!! You get a side dish, we got the eggs with tomatoes and pepper and they were delicious! The zucchini fritter was also delicious. The spreads come with unlimited bread made in house. They have a huge selection of delicious looking desserts. We got complimentary baklavas that were amazing, so we didn't get to try any other dessert but we can't wait to come back!!

She kept our waters filled and checked on us a couple times. Food came out fairly quickly. The menu is a mix of Greek, Italian and American, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. I had a bowl of clam chowder that was absolutely delicious. The Greek salad is very refreshing and tasty as well. My brother had the spinach pie (spanakopita), which he said was flavorful. My husband had the gyro with fries. Their hand cut fries are delicious. He loved his gyro, which was packed with meat. The food is good, portions are generous and prices are reasonable. They do have a bar and cater events. A Loyalty Customer Card is available for frequent visitors. Worth a visit.

    Fantastic Food and Welcoming Service at Battle Street Bistro!…read more We had a wonderful time dining upstairs on the outside deck at Battle Street Bistro. The rooftop atmosphere is lovely and provides a great vibe for a meal out with friends. The service started off on a great note before we even arrived. They normally only allow call-aheads 15 minutes in advance, but Ella was incredibly nice and let us call ahead 20 minutes early instead of forcing us to hang up and call back later. The food and drinks completely lived up to that top-tier hospitality: The Food: The standout of the meal was definitely the shrimp and grits. Unlike traditional versions, they serve it over beautifully fried, crispy grit cakes topped with a highly flavorful Creole sauce, fresh corn salsa, and tomatoes. The textures and layered flavors were absolutely outstanding. We also ordered the shrimp taco, which was fresh and hit the spot. The Drinks: The basil lemonade was incredibly crisp and refreshing, and the pear martini was perfectly mixed and balanced. The only reason for dropping it to a four-star review is that it was quite hot outside during our visit, and the deck only had one fan running. A couple of extra fans would go a long way in keeping the patio comfortable on warmer days. Still, the staff was incredibly friendly, and we will definitely be back!

After checking in, we were quickly guided upstairs to a cozy, rounded booth--an intimate and perfect spot for two. Our server, Katie, was fantastic--attentive, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest when helping us choose between dishes. We started with the deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes, paired with the Black Sheep Mule and a watermelon cocktail (wish I remembered the name!). For our mains, we ordered the short rib rigatoni and the steak bulgogi bowl. To finish, we shared the weekly dessert special: an Earl Grey tres leches. Everything was exactly what I hoped for and more. The starters were standout, the entrees were packed with flavor, and the overall aesthetic of the space was just beautiful. We'll definitely be back--next time for brunch!

It was also my first time at The Black Sheep but I had always heard wonderful things - all of which turned out to be true. The loft area is beautiful and overlooks the entire restaurant. Also when you reserve the loft, which holds up to 16 people, you order off the regular menu. I loved this as other places I checked into were much more restrictive with a higher minimum spend and fixed menus for groups larger than 8. We had 12 in our group. We started with a bunch of appetizers for the table and cocktails. Appetizers included the bacon tower, fried green tomatoes, hushpuppies, crispy chicken wings, and Mediterranean garlic shrimp. Dinner entreés were jambalaya pasta, the American wagyu burger, pulled short rib rigatoni and branzino almondine. There were zero complaints. We enjoyed EVERYTHING!! The bourbon butter cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert literally took me over the top. My belly was ready to burst :) Our waiter was attentive throughout the entire time and everything we ordered came out perfect. I must go back soon. It is a distance from where I live but there's so many things on the fabulous menu I want to try.
