Fresh squeezed juice
Mary Y.

I have been dining here with my husband for the past three years and today will be our last. My egg portion shrank, the pancake was dry and the potatoes were beyond salty. Most importantly the coffee was stale!

I'm a fan of First Watch. Late Saturday brunch and the service was fantastic (thanks Juan). Ordered the new menu item and it was perfect! Sourdough was actually sour and toasted perfectly. The scrambled eggs were creamy and the arugula was the bitter crunch under the snowfall of Parmesan. Order the Parmesan Prosciutto Toast. Tell them Jill sent you.

Iced Mint Chocolate Coffee
Heather W.

Absolutely delicious, fresh, tasty food! Good (albeit slow) service and many amazing selections. I love this place! Nice patio.

Breakfast Tacos
Constantine J.

Nice place for brunch/breakfast!! I can see why this place is popular, they have lots of good options to choose from! Scrambles, savory, sweet, breakfast tacos and much more. Their menu is jam packed with plenty of choices for everyone. The Morning Meditation drink was one of the best drinks we've had. Unfortunately the avocado on the avocado toast and the breakfast tacos was not good. Probably too old. Service was good, just wish the food was better and more fresh. Hope to come back for a better food experience next time.

Brunch? Maybe. It's a very rustic and charming resturant inside with a handful of tables for outdoor seating as well. Definitely modern rustic gram worthy. I'm a first timer here and I got to-go, so I'm not sure how their food is usually seasoned. Overall, the food was okay BUT the over salted potatoes carried into the first 2 dishes (over salted to the point, where it was all I tasted on my tongue). FYI: next time I'd ask for no salt and just season it on my own. The biscuits, gravy and eggs were standard. They packaged the biscuits and gravy separately, which was considerate. However, the potatoes were TOO salty, which made them uneatable. The roasted veggies in the hash were delicious, but again the potatoes were TOO salty and threw off the hash. The strawberries and lemon topping were yummy additions for the pancakes.

Inside

A friends took me out yesterday for brunch for my birthday. It's a nice m, clean restaurant. We sat inside. I had coffee (I was so glad it wasn't super strong) and the avocado toast. She got the burrito that was listed as a special and her six year old had an omelet. Everything was very good.

Chickichanga
Allison T.

This location has plenty of outdoor seating, however not all spots are adequately shaded, so I would recommend coming early in the morning if you want to sit outside (and it's also less crowded!) They do offer indoor seating with tables spaced out. I've only ever gone first thing in the morning and there's never a wait. But if you're planning on going at a busy time/day, they do have an app if you'd like to add your name to the waitlist. My new go-to order is the Chickichanga which includes eggs, chicken, chorizo sausage, cheese, onions, avocado, vera cruz sauce, and sour cream! A few negatives: on almost every experience here I've had slightly under seasoned and slightly undercooked potatoes & I've ordered the Chickichanga multiple times and each time it seems slightly different/off (but still good). If you do want salt, pepper, ketchup, etc., ask your waiter/waitress. For anyone who's counting their macros & calories, you can find all First Watch Menu Item + Nutrition Facts on their website!

This place was packed on a Friday night so thankful we made a reservation. Large place with a lot of tables and booths. Still decorated for Christmas. The French onion soup was a little salty. Those who got the snapper soup loved it but hands down the creole soup was the best. It was so good we took a quart home for the weekend. Nothing like a good bowl of hot soup on a cold winter day. Overall everyone enjoyed their meal. The shrimp were lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. The crab cake was a little on the small side. The Nashville chicken was hot and spicy just the way you would except it to be. The scallops I'm told were also good. The peach cobbler was fair. The crust was too heavy, too dense and in my opinion just too much of it. The chocolate lava brownie tasty.

There's a large parking lot in the shopping center where Casey's is located. We look forward to dining at Casey's again in the future.

When you first walk in the restaurant/bar area is dark; I selected patio seating and was glad that I did because it was much brighter on the patio - also, it is heated but I was still a little chilly but not uncomfortable. For a starter, we had the crab dip - this was good; it was cheesy and had good hints of crab meat; our entrees were Sautéed Salmon and Lamb Birria Ramen - the presentation of both dishes was good but the flavor was underwhelming for me (and my nephew) and even though I asked for my salmon to be cooked well, it was slightly undercooked... We did enjoy our drinks - he had a Millionaire Capri Sun and I had You Only Live Twice. If I return, it will only be for appetizers and drinks. The service was really good and the overall atmosphere was good also.

White Dog Cafe is actually so so good! We went for brunch for my sister's birthday. It's pricey but…read moreeverything was extremely delicious. And the ambiance is really nice -- fancy farm to table with plush seating and pillows. If you're going to get an appetizer, I would highly recommend getting the snack board to share (unfortunately this was eaten before I got to take photos). It includes delicious biscuits paired with the most perfect sausage gravy, thick cut bacon, fruit, croissant, warm donut holes, deviled eggs, and dips/jams. THEY ARE INCREDIBLE. The gravy is jaw-dropping and perfect with the texture of the biscuit -- trust me, you have to try it!!! The donut holes are fluffy and soft fritters. I also really loved the deviled eggs' flavor. For my entree, I got the breakfast pot pie (in the photo) which had the same incredible gravy and biscuit crust as the appetizer, topped with a crispy fried egg. My sister had the Challah French Toast (peach compote) which was also incredible -- perfect without being too sweet. Both were huge portions. Service was also excellent -- our waitress very kindly brought out our toddler nieces' kids' meals first along with our appetizers. She even brought out a little sorbet on the house for my sister's birthday (which also was very very good!)

The people at the front gave off awkward vibes, ANd as for our server...she's domethin'. There was…read morea lot of snark and attitude detected, and we were a big party, which means she's automaticaly raking in 20% on a substantial bill. And we all got alcoholic drinks, and many with desserts. The Smoked Old Fahioned was very not good. It smelled nice, but tasted like cherry cough syrup. It was like smoked cherry cordial with a splash of well-shelf bourbon. It's probably not literally well-shelf... just an emphasis on how unpalatable this was and therefore expensive for what it is. I didnt pay $15+ for some cherry cordial. Waitress vocalized distaste when we wanted to spit checks - which we told her before placing orders. Then she gave sh** about seating arrangements; since we wanted to split checks she ordered us to sit by how checks are being split. That's a new one... She said she would have to write separate checks... an obvuous approach... I endorse that plan smh. Wouldn't that be easier when it comes to "splitting checks" when all is said and done? To treat us as separate tables but still tack on 20% per check? As we are wrapping up dinner and everyone else was looking over dessert, I told her she could bring mine now since I have a 45 min drive back to CC and I have perishables. People are now eating their dessert and she's still fussing aroundat her kiosk. I eventually approach her and asked for mine again. She got super frustrated and unprofessional, and said us wanting to split bills is (exact words) "tumultuous." Does she even know what that word means? "I thought you wrote separate checks?" But she's trying to figure out how to split like $8 rolls among like 12 people. She was like, "Then who is paying for the rolls?" That is her job to find out. I am a guest, not the host of the party. I only know three other people there. She walks to the table and says (again..exact words), "Who's paying for the rolls?" As if we are planning on dining and dashing with basic dinner rolls. Why? Because we are a table of minorities? Had we been a table of all white, would she have asked HOW we would like to have it split? I was in the dine-in food service industry for several years. I had thought splitting checks was a very common practice, and I absolutely did NOT ask patrons to sit in specific order. White Dog in UC didn't do that either (or anywhere else). Perhaps White Castle is more within her playing field. Some courses in sensitivity training may aid in her professional development. And they wanted to charge like $4 per person since someone baked cupcakes.... reminder that most people also ordered dessert on top of all this. They can go pound the sand.

Located in Bryn Mawr on Conestoga Rd, there is a private lot and street parking available. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. We were greeted by a friendly server before we even stepped inside. The host station is right inside and we were welcomed warmly once again. They offered us our choice of inside/outside seating. Being our first time there we wanted to see the interior. I mentioned this and they gave us a great table upstairs overlooking the restaurant. The store is decorated with a lot of Italian transportation...small cars and Vespas. I loved the high ceilings, and the upper level seating. They also have a huge TV on the wall, and decorated for the 2026 World Cup, despite Italy not qualifying! Our server, Alex, was very personable despite being busy with a large bday gathering and several other tables. He made us feel welcome as he went over the specials and took our orders. I got the chicken Parmesan which is my goto litmus test, while my date got the beet salad with grilled chicken. The food arrived promptly and looked and tasted delicious. My chicken parm was yummy, crispy chicken with melted cheese over delicious spaghetti! The beet salad was also well received. We saw several tables getting some delicious bread and asked for a basket. I thought it may be complimentary however it was 8$ a basket. They make it in house and drizzle it with olive oil. Served with some fresh rosemary and soft butter, it was delicious and well worth the price, just don't fill up on it! We were pressed for time so turned down their house made gelato, however we passed the gelato station on the way out and regretted this decision, it looked amazing! I mentioned to Alex that my entree was delicious but what set the restaurant apart was the service and atmosphere. It was warm, welcoming, and friendly. Some Italian places can be a bit on the cool/formal side so this was a nice change. Stop in and check it out, save some room for that bread and the gelato!

The service was very good: attentive and friendly. The ambiance is similar to Not Your Average Joe's in Ardmore with the upstairs/balcony seating and downstairs and big screen TV showing sports, but much noisier, especially as the upstairs also was filled with guests. By the time we left at 7:45pm after a 6:45pm reservation, it was loud enough that we had to fairly shout at each other to continue our conversation. The food was okay, except the salad which was excellent, but not worth returning for just the salad. - beet salad - 4.5/5, plentiful small diced red and yellow beets, avocado, arugula, a light dressing and burrato with crushed pistachios. a very solid starter salad and the server kindly split a large order into two small plates for us to share - fried calamari - 3/5, having just eaten at Estia last night which has a very good fried calamari, this one was not breaded as consistently and some of the pieces were a tad on the large side for a reasonable bite and too chewy to be cut with the fork or knife. - penne puttanesca - 3/5, my husband ordered this and while he not a self-proclaimed foodie, for him to say it was just okay means it was really just okay - linguine vongole - 3/5, points for the very plentiful offering of clams, i counted probably 20 generously sized clams (sometimes you get miniscule clams with this dish), but overall the sauce was too salty and there's not much you can do to fix that, and the linguine was a bit overcooked, definitely not even close to al dente We skipped dessert as by that point our ears were starting to ring with the high decibels coming from around us on the balcony and the floor below. It looked like a lot of people were having a good time so maybe it's just not for us.
