    Bacodao omelette with roasted potatoes
    Ken S.

    My wife and my I ate here and were happy to finally get it. Since they have opened this location you need to get there early or it will be packed. With that said the food was decent but could have been better. My wife had the blueberry pancake (which was delicious) and she also had the candied bacon which was also delicious. I had the Bacado omelette which was good but a little light on flavor but still good. I substituted the greens for the roasted potatoes. The potatoes unfortunately were not done all the way and lacked seasoning. I took them home and cooked them a little longer added some seasoning and then they were fine. I never talk about coffee much but theirs was outstanding. All in all a good spot that can improve some and they will get our 5.

    French toast

    This is one of my dad and I 's favorite spots. It's nice because you can go and get an early lunch or a late breakfast since it is open from 7 am to 2:30 pm daily. It's always a little busy but if you have to wait it's only like 5-10 minutes. There is a bar and fancy cocktails but I haven't tried them out yet. I usually get a fancy juice (my fav is the morning meditation). They are fancy without the fancy price. The food is of high quality and on the healthy side which is nice. They serve salad greens with a lot of the dishes. One of my favs is avocado toast. If I'm in the mood I will add smoked salmon. It's always delicious. The French toast is also wonderful if you want something on the sweeter side. The service is always fast and professional. I see a lot of familiar faces so it must be a nice place to work. They have a nice sized patio that is covered to keep you from the elements. They have lots of booths and tables so you can get what you want. There is a bar/counter so it's a great place to go by yourself too. You can order and pick it up with is a nice option. There is a very nice size parking lot so you always have room to park.

    A Bright Spot for Breakfast & Lunch! We visited First Watch today and were thoroughly impressed! Despite a nuts waiting list and a very crowded dining room, the experience was wonderful. The food was delicious--every bite was a treat. The service was great; our server was attentive and friendly, making us feel well taken care of even during the rush. The atmosphere was nice and truly conducive to a relaxed meal. A huge plus: the music was at a perfect level, allowing us to easily have a conversation without shouting. The kitchen was a little slow, but this was completely understandable given how busy the restaurant was. The quality of the food and service more than made up for the slight wait. We highly recommend First Watch and will definitely be back!

    Service was very good. Our server Jennifer was attentive and accommodating. The restaurant was clean and quiet. However, the food. My bacon was a little rubbery. Not crispy at all. Maybe I should have asked for crispy bacon? My cousin's pancakes were dry. She had to saturate it with syrup and by then it wasn't appetizing. My friend had dry pancake as well but decided to deal with it with adding more syrup. We told Jennifer and she had it removed from my cousin's check and she gave the 3 of us a $5 card to use the next time. Would I go back? Yes I would. Everyone can have an off day.

    Today was the first day of the soft opening for the newest First Watch location in Metro Atlanta. I was RSVPed in the first seating group this morning at 9 AM. They were seating people in a staggered manner, so even in the first wave of arrival, there was a short wait. The checking in and seating process seems to be working fairly efficiently. There was a ton of staff on hand; it seems to be more than they would typically be at a First Watch on any given day. We have a lovely waitress, Tee, who was able to answer all of our questions and was very attentive to our table and others. I ate the elevated egg sandwich, which is my typical order at any First Watch. As expected, the food was made well and played it perfectly. We also had appetizers of the million dollar bacon and a cup of fruit. About midway through the meal, my plus-1 also ordered a specialty drink--the mint mocha iced coffee. They packed it to go. She said it was good but made her realize that she prefers caramel flavor to mocha. All in all, I'm really excited First Watch has a location in Henry County. We used to drive 30-40 mins to get to the nearest location. This was just the soft opening, but they are running smoothly and ready to go!! They officially open to the public on Monday.

    First Watch is an establishment with an excellent, reliable product (food and service). The Jodeco location doesn't disappoint. We've been to this location three times so far. Each time the service has been stellar with great tasting food. The noise level is low with the ability to hold a conversation. The experience is pretty reliable and aligned with the chain itself. Very busy though so be sure to utilize the app to "join the line" ahead of time to avoid long waits at the restaurant. Love this place!

    My second time here and it was better than the first which I gave 5 stars. Best Breakfast Brunch, service on point and the ambiance is friendly busy. PRO TIP, download the app and get on the waitlist because it is always packed on the weekends.

    This is probably my fourth time here. Since it opened, I've always come on my own. And sat at the bar, which is great, because during prime time, there is a wait. But generally, there's usually at least one space at the bar. The service is always really nice and good. I i usually get water in a coffee. The water comes in a glass jar that you can pour into your cup. So you which I like, because you don't have to keep asking for water. If you want more same for the coffee, it comes in a carafe. So you don't have to ask for refills. It's already there for you. Food comes out pretty quickly and hot, so I would definitely recommend first watch if you're in the neighborhood.

    Young ladies were nice at check in. There was a wait time but they got me seated very quickly and accommodated for my friend bringing an infant. Juan was helpful and nice and the food came out fast. I ordered the trifecta but subbed it with French toast which was good. My bacon was little charred but overall it was good.

    Waitlist from home

    Decided to bring myself to Saturday brunch knew this place was pretty popular since it's new in the are. Joined the waitlist from home at 11am and it said 60-95 minutes. I arrived right at 12 and it was packed. I had to park in overflow parking. When I checked in with hostess it was still 11 people in front of me. I was seated about 15 minutes later. Started with the cranberry mimosa. It's now 1:15pm so food came out fairly quick and everything was DEElicious!! Def give these folks a try if you're in the area.

    Update: using the waitlist option is a total waste. Upon waiting 60 mins after being advised a text message would be sent when table was ready I went inside only for them to tell me that now that I "checked in" I only had to wait 40-45 mins in addition to my 60 minute wait time. It's incredibly inconvenient to even do the waitlist because you still are under all the people waiting there.

    My wife's old Avocado Toast breakfast.
    Warren M.

    My wife and I visited this location for the first time. We were greeted nicely. Our food was okay. My wife ordered the Avocado Toast breakfast. Her Avocado was old. It should have been thrown out. Not good at all. It was not mashed up. There were chucks of old Avocado on the toast. We both ordered coffee as well. My wife ordered Decaf. Her coffee wasn't very hot. On the other hand my coffee was. I ordered the traditional breakfast. My potatoes were not cooked all the way. This was not a good choice for breakfast. The ambience was okay. We will not return to this location. Our server was good. But the food wasn't. We left hungry!

    I finally was able to try first watch since they opened it here on jodeco rd. I will say I went and the wait to be seated was about 20 minutes and then once seated it was another 20 minutes to get our order. But the waiter was very nice and helpful. The place is nice and well decorated for pictures. The food was alright I didn't see anything special about it. The prices were a bit higher than other breakfast places nearby but that's what you pay for a new place.

    Old school breakfast spot. Service is impeccable and the staff is awesome. Food is homemade cooking…read moreand the grits are to die for.

    Gritz is one of those restaurants filled with great memories of family and friends made throughout…read moreour visits. We used to have family in the area, but unfortunately haven't been down here in 5 years as a result of them not being in the area anymore. When we used to stop in, the service was unbeatable. Everyone would treat you like family, and would get you your food fast. Now, since the restaurant is under ***new ownership***, we are not sure if that is still the case. Our server was great (she remembered our family even after 5 years (connected the dots to us)), but the rest of the employees and the community within the restaurant felt a bit stuffy. They used to have the best coffee. It is still good now, but something changed (not quite as good). Their pancakes are unfortunately rubbery, but contrastively, they have great bacon; crisp with a bit of fat, that's how we like it. Their hash browns have not changed one bit. They are still crispy!! Some stuff has changed in the atmosphere of the restaurant. They generally have the same theme, but some of the signs have changed. If you get lucky, you may get to eat your food with Shaquille O'Neal in the restaurant! He lives in the area, and comes in every now and then to get some food and pay for everybody's meal. What a great guy!

Initial impression: Skeptical but hopeful Warm environment Friendly people Not packed but good amount of patrons Safety measures in place. As we were walking in another couple was coming out and they had two to go containers with them. That's always a good thing because people who like what they eat take what they can't finish. We took a moment to review the menu they have a lot of good selections. Yes you could probably find a good majority of it at IHOP but we figured let's see how the chef does. Our order: *Country fried steak with white gravy soft scrambled eggs with cheese, hash browns and English muffins *Pork chop breakfast, soft scrambled eggs with cheese hash browns and English muffin. *French toast. *coffee *regular water and lime *orange juice. It's always a risk when you're ordering pork chops because sometimes in restaurants they overcook it and it tends to be dry or they don't select the best cuts of pork chop and it's too thin and is dry. I was really impressed at how well the pork chop was cooked it was tender, moist, seasoned very well, hot and paired with The soft scrambled eggs and cheese nicely. The hashbrowns were not great but they were good it seem to be a little too crispy but nonetheless it was still good. The French toast Was not bad I could've made that at home but I did like them they were a bit crispy on the outside and soft on the inside not a remarkable type of toast maybe some regular brand Wonder Bread or something like that but outside of that it was really good. The syrup did enhance the flavoring of the French toast so it was overall delightful. My husband stated that the country fried steak tasted like an older cut of steak. I tasted it and I have to agree but overall it wasn't bad. The combination of the soft scrambled eggs with cheese and the hashbrowns paired really well with the country fried steak. The eggs by far were the star of the meal. They were cook so perfectly it was like a chef said that's my specialty. They were great!! We went to another place a couple of weeks ago "Atlanta Breakfast Club", paid twice as much for the food that was nowhere near as good as this place. Would we go back. ABSOLUTELY!! I am kind of irritated it took us over two years to eat here.
