Front Facade

Went for breakfast this morning for the first time at this location. The first thing my wife and I noticed was how unwelcoming the hostess was, no good morning, no smile, no greeting at all. She just assume there was 2 of us, grabbed 2 menus, and began walking. A greeting of some sort would have been nice though. Our waitress thankfully was pleasant and attentive. The menu had a decent selection of eggs and griddle choices, and coffee was served in thermal carafes reminiscent of IHOP (which I prefer over First Watch). The dining room was large and spacious with a nice loft like feel though the hard wooden chair surfaces weren't all that comfortable. The wide open room while looking nice, did result in a louder noise level that we prefer though appealing to the eye. Our breakfasts were good, not great. The highlights of our meals were the toast which was thick, crispy, buttered, and served with a tasty preserve compote. The Hash browns were cooked to perfection with a mix of crispy and soft potato cubes griddle cooked with a nice balance of onions mixed in. Breakfast for 2 with only one coffee came to $34 before tip which seemed a bit pricey for what we got. Overall, decent but not great, especially with the non welcoming hostess. Prefer IHOP and Reveille Cafe far above this First Watch Sandy Plains location.

Love first watch. Food is delicious and lots of options and cooked well, always a long wait but worth it, waitress was on par and super friendly everyone raved about her. Location was easy to find and clean. I wish it was bigger to accommodate faster but that is just a wish.

Million Dollar Bacon

Great brunch! I was hesitant to try after a poor experience at another First Watch location, but this one is great! Our server was very kind and quick. The highlights were the Iced Coffee and the Million Dollar Bacon! Literally to die for. The Breakfast Sandwich was good, but i'd probably try something else next time, because it's very hard to eat. The potatoes were a bit chewy but good. Definitely order them well done.

I finally had the opportunity to try First Watch and it was good. My group showed up at a really busy time but lucked out and were seated immediately as there was 1 table open. Service was a bit slower but given that it was a full house, we just enjoyed our visit and perused the menu. I started with the morning meditation juice which is a blend of orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beet. It was colorful, slightly sweet and slightly healthy. I then ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. It came out with 2 large, fluffy pancakes and a nice dollop of lemon curd and fresh cut strawberries on top. The lemon flavor was sweet and a little tart. I'm looking forward to coming back again to try the avocado toast which I've heard is delicious.

Love this place! I've been here on several occasions prior to reviewing. This is my favorite location because of the service. We came in on a snowy Sunday and there wasn't a crowd!! You know us southerners will stay in the house real quick when there's snow in sight! Lol. But glad we got to take advantage of it. I typically get the AM Superfood Bowl. Packed with flavors of greatness! Chia seed pudding, bananas, raspberries and strawberries, mixed berry compote, housemade granola with almonds. Served within whole grain artisan toast with almond butter and sea salt. The toast is sooo good! I asked for it without salt because they aren't consistent with the smooth that they add. If it's just a sprinkle then it's the perfect combination but there have been times when it was way too much. I'd probably get it in the side moving forward.

Carnita breakfast burrito

We were seated for about 8 minutes and no one acknowledged us. We left and went across the street to Reveille cafe. My Bride, seated across from me, saw 3 servers chatting with the host. No one even looked our way as we walked out. My Bride was wanting to try the pumpkin doughnuts.

Morning meditation
Kelly S.

We came on a Tuesday afternoon so there was a lot of available seating. The interior was nice and spacious. We got the steak and bacon burrito, an omelette, tomato basil soup, and morning meditation. The steak and bacon burrito had nice flavoring overall but only had a few bacon and steak pieces. It was mostly potatoes inside. The side of potatoes we got were pretty salty. And unfortunately tomato basil soup was a little too sour for our liking. We enjoyed the morning meditation and really wanted to try the Purple Haze but didn't have room for more drinks since we also got a cup of coffee.

Definitely looks like a locals spot. We were seated quickly and our server was fabulous…read more We ordered a few burgers and waited approx. 20-25 minutes before they came out. I feel like the cook must've been on a break. We ordered them medium and they came out closer to rare. Because we were in a hurry, we just ate a bit (mostly the outside of the burger) and took the rest for our dogs. The burgers were very flavorful but we just couldn't get past that rawness. We would definitely come in again though and probably order the burgers medium well. It looked like a cool hangout out spot in the evenings for a few beers. I believe there is live music as well but I'm not positive.

We're baaaack!! We were attempting to try a new place nearby but they closed. So thankful Gaston's…read morewas on the other end of the parking lot! It's really loud today which I attribute to football. It is a sports bar after all. After perusing the menu with two limited edition menus (Sunday brunch and Holiday drink), I opted for the Johnny Cash burger with fries and my better half ordered a French dip. I ordered my fresh, never frozen burger medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. It was so juicy, the beautiful concoction dared the toasted bun to remain intact. Chocked full of thick apple smoked bacon, it was flavorful. My husband enjoyed his French Dip. Our server was friendly and attentive. I wish I remembered her name! We really enjoy Guston's and will return when in the area again.

Sekai, the person taking my order at the counter, was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. She took the time to answer all my questions as well as give me some recommendations. I decided to try one of the special burgers, the Moxie Mac. It was their high end take on the Big Mac with two burgers, cheese, pickles, onion straws, and Moxie Mac sauce. The burger tasted fresh and flavorful. I would definitely consider returning to try some of their other burgers in the future, and I would recommend Moxie Burger to others too. Cheers

Met up with a friend here the other day, which was my first visit. I got a basic bacon burger with…read morehomemade chips. Hubby got one on Texas Toast with caramelized onion and pineapple with crispy onions as a side. Drinks were one soda and one red wine. Total came out over $40, which seems steep considering what we got for it. We had dined a few days earlier at a sit down restaurant with waiter service and had an appetizer, two entrees, two glasses of wine, and dessert for only $10 more than what we paid at Moxie's, so having this days later for comparison was mostly a let down. I asked for my burger to be medium but it was overcooked. Why bother to ask if you are just going to make it however you want anyway? The flavor was decent anyway though. Hubby thought his burger was tasty but too messy for his liking with stuff spilling out all over. My chips were okay but hubby's crispy onions were way better, so obviously I stole most of them from him. I think the crispy onions were actually the best thing we ordered. While I didn't hate it, I also didn't love it either. I wouldn't be opposed to giving them a second chance someday but probably not any time soon.

However, what truly stood out to me was how the situation was handled afterward. During my next visit, the manager Danielle personally came to our table to apologize, take accountability, and ensure that we felt valued as longtime customers. Her professionalism, genuine concern, and willingness to address the issue spoke volumes about her leadership and dedication to customer service. Situations can happen anywhere, but great management is what makes the difference, and she handled it exceptionally well. I would also like to give a special shoutout to our favorite waitress, Ashley. She has always been amazing, attentive, and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure we are well taken care of. Her friendly personality and excellent service are a big reason why we continue to return, and we always ask for her whenever we visit. Thank you to the management team and to Ashley for reminding us why we've remained loyal customers for so many years.
