    Very good breakfast with perfect portion sizes. The eggs were cooked wonderfully to a precise over-medium. The toast and potatoes are delicious as well. They are a little pricey for breakfast, but the food is delicious and the service is pretty good too!

    Smoked salmon Benedict

    Apparently a new brunch place that opened up this year. It's very aesthetic on the inside, walked in sat immediately. Slightly felt pressured to order quickly, in terms of food we got the salmon Benedict and the steak n eggs chimichurri. Food is saltier than I would like, like actually really salty especially the potatoes aka hashbrowns. Also not really a steak more like small beef pieces but there wasn't that much, 15% meat, 80% potaoes not hashbrowns, eggs very fine. Portions for Benedict smaller than expected. Overall food was fine, there's notice brunch spots in the area, but I wouldn't necessarily seek this out.

    The place is beautiful, great place to spend a leisurely brunch with family and friends. Allison is a great server and the service was prompt. Food was good for the most part. The eggs Benedict had great flavor but the egg whites in the poached eggs were raw.

    Food came fast, good selection, bread is amazing. Please, though, stop asking, "Just one" after someone replies, "one," when asked how many. Do you say, "just two," after someone says, "two"? And, no, most solo diners do not want to sit at the bar. Please treat us like your other guests. Other than that false start, my breakfast at First Watch this morning was very tasty and surprisingly affordable.

    Rude service, food came cold, and a terrible wait time. Been to this location multiple times and those three things were constant.

    Food and service is always great! Sure, there is usually a wait because it's a new restaurant that everyone loves, but very worth the wait.

    We stopped by on a Friday with our family of 5. The lobby is cute with tasty treats and cat-themed…read moreitems for purchase. While we didn't order coffee (it was early evening), the prices on the menu were very reasonable. Admission was $10 per person, regardless of age. If you have never been to a cat cafe, the whole point is to socialize with adoptable cats. From what I remember, cat adoption cost here was $125. When we got into the kitty room, there were only three cats out and exploring. Two wanted nothing to do with us and the other was cute and cuddly with another family there. After about 45 minutes, we asked one of the owners how many cats were there and she went to a back room where their litter boxes are housed and she coaxed out a few more cats. They mentioned that there were several kittens being brought in the next day as well. The space was so cute with fun murals, ample seating, and most importantly, lots of comfy spots for the cats to lounge and hidden nooks to explore. There were board games and video games for their human visitors as well as some suckers. Since they are getting rid of the slushy machines, they even offered us free slushies. While there were pics of the cats on the cat condo wall, it was still a tad challenging to tell what each cat's name was. It would be awesome to have names easily visible on their collars and a few more cat toys to play with them. Hope this spot is successful and lots of loving and sassy cats find good homes. :-)

    This place is amazing! I have always wanted a cat cafe in Oak Ridge and finally I got one! Some…read morethings to note, I went on opening day, so it definitely was a lot more packed than it probably would be. I didn't get the owners name, but she had this bright personality and was very welcoming on opening day. She provided a fun give away and free snacks/beverages for the grand opening. The staff seemed very happy. They had a big smile and they were very polite. Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience the cafe on a day with less people. It was super packed due to it being opening day. I assume in the future it will become less packed so the animals aren't as stressed and there is more room. However, the only thing I would say would be nice, if in the future it is packed, maybe have a room limit that way people can enjoy the time with the cats and the cats don't get stressed out. But the main cat area is really cute. I love the design in the room. The cat hotel / loft is really cute. It allows the cat to retreat to a nice safe place if they want to be left alone. There are lots of seats for you to sit in including a nice comfy couch where you can sit down and enjoy some gaming. While I was there I didn't have a chance to really get a drink. I really wanted to enjoy playing with the cats so I didn't get one. However, a lot of people seem to enjoyed it. The drinks appeared to come out to the customers pretty quickly. They have a decent selection of drinks and snacks. I posted a photo of the menu :)! The entire place was very clean. The restroom was spotless, which is always really nice. The bar where they prepare the drinks seemed very clean and organized. Overall this place is definitely a spot you need to stop at if you are looking to adopt a cat or just enjoy a nice drink and snacks with cats in the area. This is a new business and remember to support them because they are doing a good thing and finding these lovable cats a home :)

Tennessee Haystack was good, although it came out incorrect the first time.... chicken and waffles mediocre at best. Small chicken tenders similar to something that you'd get at a convenience store. Isn't this considered to be part of the South? Trying to get our check became a struggle. Waitress disappeared. Young man at the cash register was able to figure it out finally and we were able to pay. Biggest issue, noise. If you are even slightly bothered by loud noise, DO NOT sit inside. What amplifies the issue, is multiple families would line up to pay. Not only increasing the noise by us, it caused for congestion in the area by the kitchen for the servers.

Busy with 45 min wait but were told we could wait in the separate bar with first come basis seating. That's what we did and got seated and drinks ordered and dinner menus promptly, Bar /wait staff was very good for a busy time. Live music and crowd in the bar in a living room type atmosphere too loud for an intimate dinner more a sing along fun time place, separate from the main more quiet dining area. Got fried mushrooms appetizer and filet mignon as entree. The filet was high quality very tender perfectly prepared and had a wood grilled flavor. Also got a fresh garden salad and giant baked potato ...excellent well worth the $48 price. Others had a huge burger and cheese steak with fries. Both also very good. Too stuffed for desert but it looked yummy. Was impressed with bar drinks, beer and wine selections. Best steak I've had in this area from Lexington Ky to Knoxville TN. On par with nineteen 19 in Cumberland gap as nicest restaurant in the local area. I'll be back.
