The coffee was good
Terry G.

I arrived as they opened so there were just a few other patrons present. My first impression was how bright and uncluttered it was. Cleanliness was apparent as I looked around. I was greeted with a smile and a welcome within a minute or so. My waiter was pleasant and attentive without being bothersome. I ordered 2 eggs over easy, bacon, potatoes, toast and coffee. My food didn't take too long to arrive. The coffee is a little weaker then I like but it was okay . The toast was closer to bread then toast, it could have been a little more toasted . The eggs were cooked as requested and the potatoes except for a few were cooked properly. The bacon was cooked to perfection for my taste, crispy without being burned. In summary the service was excellent, food was good, prices fair and the place was pleasant and clean. I would enjoy eating there again in the future .

Chickichanga. The strawberry looked very pale like frozen ones..
Young C.

We went to First Watch at another location and I thought food was pretty good.. So decided to come here and have brunch. They were pretty busy so had to wait about 20 minutes which was not too bad. Ordered the Holiday menu stay golden cinnamon roll and coffee for starter. Then ordered salmon egg Benedict, steak and egg hash, and chickichanga. Cinnamon roll was way way too sweet for my liking. Without frosting was not bad but man that frosting is lethal.. My steak and egg hash was pure disappointment. The parmesan cream sauce was so blend I didn't even realize it was "parmesan". Over all the dish had no flavor what so ever, I had my egg over medium but it was over cooked. Salmon egg Benedict was not too bad, but the poached egg was cooked perfect. Chickichanga was also not bad but lacked some flavor also. So many different breakfast places to eat this place definitely is a skip for me. I would not be returning. Over all

2 Eggs, Pork Saisage, Homestyle Potatoes, English Muffin, and a side of Cheese Grits! VERY GOOD
Matthew M.

This is a solid place. It's always very clean and the employees are super nice. I ordered the typical breakfast which was two eggs, a side of meat, potatoes, and choice of bread. It was very good. I never order any breakfast without getting a side of grits as well so I decided for the cheesy ones and they were great. This is a little bit different than your typical greasy homestyle breakfast but it's still very good. Give this place a chance!

If you're a breakfast lover, chances are you've come across a First Watch, a well known staple with lots of convenient locations. I love that I can be in an unfamiliar part of town and still know where to get a good brunch. The food is consistently delicious and the service is reliable. My faves are the farm house hash and lemon ricotta pancakes!

The Works Omelet
Michelle M.

This was my first time having breakfast at First Watch, and I don't usually eat out for breakfast, but this was by far the best breakfast I've had! My friend and I both ordered the Works omelette, and it was excellent. The house-roasted Crimini mushrooms were incredibly flavorful, nicely sized, and cooked perfectly. The bacon inside the omelette was fresh and crispy, and I substituted extra ham in place of sausage, the ham was delicious too!Instead of the lemon-dressed mixed greens, I opted for the seasoned potatoes, and wow...these were phenomenal. Super crispy with a bold garlic and onion flavor, not overloaded with pepper like some places tend to do. Honestly, they were the best seasoned potatoes I've ever had.The meal also came with whole grain artisan toast with butter, which was warm, hearty, and very tasty.Another plus: if you're watching what you eat, First Watch's website has clear, detailed nutritional info for all their menu options. At just over $14, the price felt very reasonable given the quality of the food and today's prices. Highly recommend!

Iced Coffee
Lauren M.

Always a great place for brunch! Iced coffees are always made perfectly sweet if you prefer your coffees to be more on the sugary side! The market veggie sandwich is a great choice if you come in during lunch time.

Breakfast time
Pee G.

Food was delicious and the customer service was great. They took a little long to bringing the food but they apologized and gave the right service after that. The ambiance is a little loud but the wait time wasn't too long. Enough parking and you can also eat in the patio

Breakfast sandwich with potatoes
Erika B.

Delicious breakfast! Party of two seated immediately on a busy weekend morning. We both absolutely loved our breakfast of the double crunch breakfast tacos, and breakfast sandwich and my son loved his coffee drink. Service was very quick and friendly. Bathrooms were clean. What More could you ask for? Would definitely come again

Farm Hash
Krista P.

I was very pleased with the selection on the menu. There were many options to choose from and they had exactly what I was hoping for that morning. An amazing hash!! The potatoes were crispy and so nicely seasoned. The sunny side up eggs were great and the avocado was fresh and firm. Also, if you like fresh juice the Morning Glory is fantastic! The staff was pleasant and the host walked right up to us to greet us with a smile. The decor is unique and it was a bright venue.

If this has eggs, mushrooms pico de gallo, spinach, lots of cheese
Mary L.

Playing some relaxing music. The restaurant is clean, not overly crowded and I got seated right away.. having a power wrap, only 25 minutes to put together. And it tastes delicious with a side of fruit. Always great service and yummy food.

Morning Meditation
Victoria M.

It was my first time trying this great restaurant out! I was invited to go to breakfast with a friend, and I didn't know what to expect!! It's in a great location, awesome set up, nice modern vibe, the hostess and all the staff were amazing!! Everything looked so great and fresh on the menu! They accommodate allergies and make changes with no questions! I went with the Morning meditation fresh juice that has such an amazing different flavor! It was beautiful to look at and I think I'll have to go get one of those at least once a week.. it's my new favorite drink!!! The omelets are amazing, super fresh and flavorful!! Can't go wrong if you want a gray breakfast and great drinks 10/10 for sure!

The carne asada hash bocada omelet

Actually the best breakfast I have had in awhile. Cute atmosphere waiter was excellent good prices I will definitely be back

Coffee, cocoa, and a husband. Yum!
Haeley R.

We've never been disappointed here! As busy and boisterous as it can be, the servers are considerate and kind. The coffee is great, and every dish we've tried is delicious! It's become our favorite weekly brunch spot and I'm sure it will become yours, too.

Our waitress was not friendly. The food was mediocre and service was slow. We probably won't be back. Maybe it was this location.

Do they serve mimosas?

They do not. Although, FW has some pretty exceptional non-alcoholic juice concoctions and tonics.

The first time we ate at Tucked Away It was a regular full-time restaurant. We enjoyed the food…read morewith its New Mexican twist. If I remember correctly, the chef studied with Bobby Flay. Much to our dismay, the restaurant was closed to focus on catering. Luckily, though, It reopens for pop-ups. This morning I saw an Instagram post announcing that there would be a brunch pop up today, so we got up and got ready to go. It really is tucked away in the corner of plaza and goodbye Safeway. Inside is a small dining room with a bar, and through the rolling doors is a patio with outdoor seating. You can see the kitchen through the plexiglass divider, and there is bar seating along the divider so you can watch the cooking. There's a great, colorful mural on one wall and some fun lighting fixtures and art. Today's pop up was packed when we arrived. We grabbed the last two chairs which were on the bar overlooking the kitchen. The menu had seven choices. Of course we ordered two different things so we could share, but we skipped cocktails. We ordered: *Steak chilaquiles Christmas style (both red and green chile) served with a side of beans and talked with an egg *Green chili pork hash served with a side of beans talked with an egg Both were delicious! We both ordered scrambled eggs, and I'm pretty sure it was more than an egg. I'm not sure how they cook those eggs but they were the best ever. The pinto beans had green chili in it and was so good. I'm from New Mexico, and these tasted like the beans that you rarely find outside of New Mexico. The steak on my chilaquiles was really good - - thin sliced and tender. I was able to easily cut it with just a butter knife. The pork in the hash was so yummy. What are scrumptious brunch! It was nice to sit overlooking the kitchen, as it was quite a show to watch the chef. I was amazed at how over easy eggs were tossed and caught in the pan without the yolks breaking. Heck, I can't even flip eggs with a spatula without breaking the yolk! Anytime I've overlooked a chef cooking, I'm totally in awe of their amazing skills, and this was no different. I really recommend Tucked Away, just as I did when it was a regular restaurant. Follow them on Instagram to be alerted to pop ups. You won't regret it!

The onion is still crunchy and they are never greasy. This time I shared the Steak & Cheese sandwich as well. Wow! That is huge and delicious! No way I could eat a full one on my own. The meat was so tender with American cheese, onions, mushrooms and green peppers. My only adjustment would be lighter on the peppers and a little more mushrooms. The place is clean and friendly. Don't let the Mesa strip mall keep you away. After eating, check out the produce market across the street for some great deals!

Visited The Public Grill Bar today...Oh my goodness! Can hardly wait to go back!…read more We shared the empanadas, chicken tenders and the onion rings! Empanadas were very tasty, especially with the Caribbean flavor. Crust was flaky, filling was perfect amount and not dry like so many are. Then let's add the homemade sauce...oh ya, so good! The chicken tenders were so moist. The breading is the same as the onion rings, very light and airy with the perfect amount of salt. Onion rings are the best I have ever eaten. Homemade, full rings, with just a little crunch, your choice of dipping sauce. Another couple stated they eat at The Public Grill 2 times a week trying different items each time. They said "the homemade food is delicious every time." Service is outstanding. 1 server at lunch time, 2 at dinner. 3 people in the back. Amazing part, the owner also helps with serving if needed. The restaurant is very clean. Not many tables, may have a little wait. However, it's worth it!

I had it on my list, but it's not in an area I usually go to. It's tucked away in commercial/ industry area around other businesses. Pretty well hidden. You would have to know its location to drive back there. Once you drive into the parking lot, you see all the trees and the white brick building. The interior and outdoor patio is a beautiful space and we opted to sit out there during some nice weather. For a Tuesday night it was surprisingly full, we had a reservation for 6:30 pm and were sat right on time. The service of everyone we interacted with was great. Our server was friendly and did a great job explaining the menu and making suggestions. We ended up splitting a few dishes- the burrata appetizer, octopus picatta piccante, scallop spaghetti, and roasted airline chicken breast with risotto. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The cocktails were also well balanced and very enjoyable. All in all, glad we ventured out to that area of Mesa to enjoy a lovely dinner!
