Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash
Jake S.

The last two times I've been there I've had the Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash and you can't go wrong with it. Best item on the menu in my opinion. The food comes out hot and the service is quick. Great place to get breakfast.

Chickichanga, missing the sauce though.

Highly recommend First Watch if you're looking for a breakfast spot in the 'Boro! My family and I tried it for our first time today and we were all impressed. Make sure you arrive early because they get busy! We had a 30 minute wait for a party of 4 around 10am. Next time we'll make sure to come earlier and hopefully beat the crowd. We all had good things to say about the food though. Our party shared the bacon and cheese cornbread. SOOO delicious! Very light and airy with just the right amount of bacon and cheese. I got the classic eggs Benedict and a side of biscuits and gravy, my husband ordered the Chickichanga. Both of us liked our dishes! I will say that the hollandaise sauce on mine was a bit too lemony though. But I did really like the biscuit and gravy. The potatoes I got with my main dish were nice and crispy too. Our waitress may have been spread thin with how busy they were but she did take a bit to come around initially to take our order. They also completely missed the sauce for my husband's Chickichanga dish and our waitress was nowhere to be found for quite some time so we had to flag down a different waitress for assistance. Then when it came time to get the check we waited for a bit. But again, they were busy since it was a weekend morning so that was likely the cause. Hopefully next time it won't be as bad. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu items!

We tried the new First Watch here on the south side of Murfreesboro and it was an enjoyable experience. The food was wonderful, fresh, hot, and delicious. When we arrived there was a wait, estimated at twenty minutes. We were seated in about ten minutes. Under-promise and over-deliver is a practice I like. The water arrived almost immediately and our order was taken as soon as we were ready. Very comfortable dining room with nice soft lighting and appropriate decor.

1/2 Sweet Honey Pecan chicken salad with Vegetable soup
James H. L.

Great portions and really excellent tasting menu throughout. Open early at 7am through 2:30pm daily. Amazing salads with lots of protein. Many vegetarian options available. The perfect place to grab a breakfast or brunch/lunch and always a friendly and accommodating atmosphere. If in a hurry, they support at-table checkout.

I definitely recommend first watch because they are consistently okay there's nothing great about it unfortunately It's just somewhere good to go Just good I'm not saying that the service isn't great The issue for me is the food is never consistently good and it's never been great but my friends love the place so I'm there frequently. Unfortunately for me I always want to get potatoes and the potatoes are never cooked through they are always starchy and hard in the middle, The other issue is they cannot for the life of them figure out how to make a soft scrambled egg It's always a clump of dry egg there's nothing moist about it. I will say however the place is always clean and the restrooms are always usable and I appreciate that. The ambiance is usually chaotic and I wish they would see people with children in one area like they used to see smokers in one area and non-smokers in one area because as a person and a group of people without children it's absolutely unnecessary for us to be seated so closely to children every single time I would suggest you move families to one space and non-families to another space hoping that there's equal space for both sides So everyone can enjoy their meals. People who choose to bring their children to brunch should be able to enjoy as much as those of us who do not bring children to brunch because we want mimosas.

This is my first visit to a First Watch. Very busy and lively ambiance. I ordered the Traditional Breakfast, and a carrot cake pecan pancake. Warm syrup!! Wow. Overall, the food was fantastic. I can really appreciate being waitlisted on the app too. Definitely a hit and I will be back.

I love First Watch and even more excited this one is open!!!! It's right around the corner from us and we couldn't be more elated!!! The food was delicious!! I got the Farmhouse Hash and the Million Dollar Bacon (my usual order) and this was probably the best it's ever tasted in all of the locations I've ever been to! I am not kidding! The flavor was rich and seasoned to perfection! I got full a lot quicker than usual! Our server Renee was the sweetest! I will be a frequent consumer here for sure!!

Cheese grits, over medium eggs, apple chicken sausage and artisan toast.

I love this location. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. The bartender/server was great. The food came out quick. Great ambiance and casual setting.

The Traditional with bacon awesome
Darrell S.

First trip after finding on Yelp.Was promptly seated and given a pot of coffee which is awesome on the stronger side but really good. Ordered the Traditional with bacon and was on the table in a short time. Eggs cooked just right and bacon crispy and potatoes cooked nicely. Only one slice of toast but bread is on the thicker side and really good. So much better quality than most places. This will become my go to breakfast place in Murfreesboro.

Ham, Eggs, toast -- what can go wrong? Nothing. Service was good. Fresh squeezed OJ is a treat.

Had lunch there one time. Food was not exceptionally tasty, portions small, and prices exorbitant. Don't go there. Change everything.

Yummyyyyyy! We drove…read moreup to Murfreesboro to check out a visiting art exhibit at MTSU. We wanted to try something that we couldn't find in our home city of Huntsville, and we settled on Buona. I'm very glad we did! This restaurant still looks relatively new and is set up in a seemingly developing part of town. There was ample parking and the inside was bright, clean, and spacious. On one side of the restaurant is a separate concept that serves ice cream and desserts. I think this concept is related to Buona/owned by the same folks but I'm not sure. It looked and smelled good though! Anyway, this is an order at the counter type of restaurant, though your meal is delivered to your table. They also have kiosks available if you're feeling asocial, though the placement of these is somewhat incongruous and causes some gridlock if there's a line to order. We decided to order at the counter to make sure our requests could be accommodated. The woman who took our orders listened carefully and took thorough care to ensure things were to our liking and our questions were answered. Our order was correct when it was delivered shortly afterwards. My parents split a medium Italian beef combo with added cheese and sweet peppers as well as a chili dog, and for myself I also ordered a medium Italian beef combo. I got mine with hot giardiniera and cheese, though. Combos come with a side of crinkle cut fries and a drink. I was very pleased to see they have not only Pepsi products, but Pepsi Zero Sugar, which I find preferable to Diet Pepsi. Win! Everything was delicious. The beef was meltingly tender and savory and the giardiniera was tangy and crisp (though I wouldn't have said no to just a teeny bit spicier, hehe - though don't get me wrong, it did have a discernible kick). I got mine with light gravy but you could still taste the umami of the au jus. My own complaint is I wish I could've gotten a dipping cup on the side; perhaps it's possible but I didn't see it on the menu and it wasn't offered. Maybe I should've asked. I like to dip as opposed to dunk to preserve the sandwich's non-sogginess. I digress though, it was a fabulous sandwich. I haven't tried a ton of Italian beefs in my life so far, but this was my favorite. I also usually don't love crinkle fries (or they're certainly not my preferred cut), but as far as crinkle fries go, these were hot, fresh, and fried and seasoned perfectly. It was a generous portion too. My parents also loved their sandwich and said the chili dog was tasty too. The restaurant (including the restroom) was very clean, service was polite and efficient, and the food was delicious. Truly my only tiny complaint is the lack of an au jus dipping cup. I later learned this is actually a franchise that's slowly spreading to the south. That being the case, I am very hopeful that they'll turn their eyes to Huntsville for expansion. I find it somewhat rare for large operations such as this one to produce such an extremely high quality product and experience, but Buona delivered. I look forward to visiting other locations in the future.

The food is just as I remember Buona from Chicago. The hot dog was delicious and the beef was…read moretender and full of flavor. Very helpful staff who were eager to provide a comfortable, positive experience. The dining room was comfortable, clean and constantly maintained. If you are looking for some of the Chicago taste try them out.
