    Inedible Avacado
    John M.

    Not a good experience. I have been to this location several times in the past and though not one of my favorite places it has always been ok. This morning I ordered the Avacado Toast and it was inedible. The Avacado was not ripe and I could not even chew the pieces. Not sure why the kitchen would send something like that out to the dining room.

    Met a friend for breakfast. Had the Skillet Hash. Lots of goodies in it, sausage, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes. Hearty slice of bread with fresh made preserves. Good choice. 8

    I am so happy that this First Watch was bigger. Most of the first watches I have dined in have been on the smaller side. From entering the restaurant to leaving, everything was nice! The staff opened the door for my family and the server to prompt to greet us at the table. Service was very quick and the food was hot. I like First Watch because they have healthy options that are appetizing. We ordered the egg bowl, egg omelet and kid's oatmeal with a kid's waffle. The bowl and omelet had goat cheese, a green vegetable, tomatoes, and potatoes (bowl). The kid's oatmeal had oats, brown sugar, blueberries, strawberries and banana. The kid's waffle was a plain waffle with sprinkled powdered sugar. Anytime with my family is a meaningful time but I am grateful to spend time with them while eating a healthy, hearty meal!!

    We had heard that First Watch is an award-winning restaurant that specializes in both traditional and innovative creations all freshly prepared to order. We visited the one located at Brannon Crossing, we are open from 7am-2:30pm everyday. After many years of business in this community, we found our home. The place had high marks and reviews so we decided to see what all they hype is about. The first thing we noticed is how accessible the location was, accessible entrance, dine-in, takeout and no-contact delivery options are available. The outdoor patio offers a excellent setting option. now what's on the menu. The breakfast option I had was the Sunny Seoul Hash, consisting of shaved seared pork tossed with freshly seasoned potatoes, diced red bell peppers, kimchi, Cheddar and Monterey Jack. Topped with two cage-free eggs cooked any style, scallions, sesame seeds and gochujang aioli. It was amazing! Prepared fresh to order and was served hot. The Gochujanj Aioli is truly the highlight, and I wished the offer it for sale separately. My wife hat the Cinnamon Chip Pancake Breakfast. A excellent option for anyone that loves pancakes. You have the option of Two cage-free eggs cooked any style with a cinnamon chip pancake and your choice of hardwood smoked bacon or chicken, pork or turkey sausage. I also had a side of their Million Dollar Bacon, which is Four slices of our signature hardwood smoked bacon baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle. a excellent side to complete any meal but great on its own. They offer a wide range of sides as well as a traditional breakfast, which consist of Two cage-free eggs any style with your choice of bacon, smoked ham, chicken sausage patties, turkey or pork sausage links. Served with our whole grain artisan toast, all-natural house preserves and fresh, seasoned potatoes. They have daily offerings from their juice bar featuring all natural ingredients, I opt for the Purple Haze, that consist of Lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender. It is beautiful drink and has a flavoral taste. They also have a wide offering of coffees and cocktails such as Bloody Mary to Mimosa. They have countless breakfast options it is hard to decide what to have. They offer sandwich's as well that are served with the soup of the day. Some of their items are seasonal, so have a back up item, but with the wide selection they offer you will be sure to find something. Finally the service was excellent, and timely. I believe her server was Miranda and she was most excellent and accommodating. A very inviting and warm place.

    Delicious food waiting for you to coma and eat!

This visit marked our third time at OBC Kitchen, and once again, it did not disappoint. This time we experimented with timing and booked an early reservation at 2:45 pm on a Saturday. We crossed over into the dinner menu and discovered something wonderful: the service and ambiance were even better than the busier evening hours after 6 pm. The staff was exceptionally attentive. Every dish and cocktail option was explained thoughtfully, which I appreciate, especially because I enjoy cocktails that come with a bit of theater. When drinks are presented with care, described well, and executed beautifully, the experience becomes part performance, part craft. Here, they delivered perfectly. The food, as always, was superb. We shared several chef selections including Beef Tallow Fries, Southern Grouper, Bacon in a Glass, and the Cola-Braised Short Ribs. Each dish was rich, flavorful, and confidently executed. Dessert continued the celebration with the Churro Cheesecake, and to our delight we were also gifted the Warm Buttermilk Donuts, which felt like a small act of culinary generosity. In a departure from my usual Manhattan and Old Fashioned flights, I tried a Bloody Mary and The Cure, both excellent and beautifully balanced. At this point I can confidently say OBC Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in the country. The consistency, creativity, and hospitality make every visit memorable. A special thank you to the team who took care of us on Saturday, March 7th, 2026. You elevated an already wonderful experience and made it even better than usual.

Looking at the pictures on the menu I was wondering if o should order extra. I decided on a gyro platter and it was huge. I should back up. As I'm sitting waiting, they brought out a complimentary cup of lentil soup and it was delicious. Then the platter comes out it was an enormous portion. Also included hummus and cucumber yoghurt salad with a whole pita bread. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended.

    This was my second time coming, and I brought my husband this time. There was a little bit of…read moreconfusion on our part that lessened the experience for us a little. My husband is obsessed with gyros and that's his favorite thing - there was a Shawarma plate that said it had steak, chicken and Gyro and what we thought that meant was that it was Shawarma and then there was a Gyro sandwich on the plate, but that wasn't the case. It was just the gyro meat. So that made my husband sad because he'd been looking to a Gyro all day. No fault to them, totally our misunderstanding. The food was delicious and the price was great. There are a couple of things I would like to see updated. When you get the Shawarma plate, everything comes on one plate and that means your salad is mixing with your hummus is mixing with your Shawarma. I would like to see the salad in a side bowl. The plate is so stuffed. It's hard to begin eating because everything is stuffed on there so tightly. I would like the salad in a separate bowl not just to avoid mixing but to allow me a little more room on my plate to begin eating. We will be back and I will probably request my salad in a side bowl in the future. The lentil soup is great and it comes complementary with the meal. I would also like to be able to buy a bigger bowl of that if I chose. I would also like the option of the fried bread pieces to sprinkle in my soup. I tried the cake, pistachio dessert, and that's the only thing I didn't care for too much. It was just very cakey and not my typical type of dessert. I would love to see them partner with Al Taj, and get some of the Dubai chocolate bars in for sale that would be awesome.
