    Banana brittle French toast
    Maria K.

    We came again for brunch and found a seat right away, the hostess gave us plenty of options of where we'd like to sit which was nice! I wanted to try the tangerine dream with cold foam on top and this was fantastic- just like an orange creamsicle! The Barbacoa breakfast tacos were great, next time I may swap the black beans for hashbrowns as my side. Overall another great breakfast at first watch!

    I eat here often at home so decided to stop in on a family trip. As always, the service and the food were great even though they were packed. Plenty of seating inside with a laid back atmosphere. We started with the monthly special, blueberry bread and it was amazing! I would love this as a year round option. Next time to won't be sharing lol. I also had their monthly hash with chicken which was also delicious and something I would order regularly. They were very attentive to my toddler nephew and made sure he had all the comfort and fruit he needed. Love First Watch and will definitely be back again soon.

    Over medium ain't easy.

    I ordered OVER MEDIUM eggs with Avocado toast and bacon. The eggs were prepared 3 times over easy. I didn't eat them and ended up just paying and walking out. The server was fine, but the food prep was a big failure. Not likely to ever go back. $28 for coffee. avocado toast, and bacon.

    Million dollar bacon. The best!

We tried the spinach feta and the farmer's. Holy spinach in that one! Def took over the flavor with how much spinach. I asked for crumbled sausage to be added but it was so minimal I could barely taste it. Nicely toasted home fries though. Overall, quick joint with decent meal. Nice outdoor seating. 2 omelet meals and our bill was about $30. Will have to go back and try lunch.

I was fascinated by training going on at the register and after awhile figured out that the place is being sold and the current owner was training the new owner how to run the computer. This place is a typical local diner - a little dated in the decor, seating and tables and exactly where I like to be. The waitress showed up promptly to take my order and todays meal was country fried steak with home fries, eggs over hard and rye toast. It didn't take long for the breakfast to show - there was a steak knife on the plate but not needed - the prepared patty was fork tender... gravy was real good but the home fries were perfect. Will definitely have to come back and try another meal - good luck to the new owners.

    Super experience at this charming Hungarian restaurant in Bradenton…read more We have never tried Hungarian food, so this sparked our attention. Walked in and let them know it was our first time and Alexa took care of us all the way through. We ordered mushroom crepe that was very tasty. It was called Bakonyi Palacsinta. We shared our entree which was a potato crusted chicken with salad. This is called Karpati Borzacska. Both were amazing and tasty. The cherry on top was our dessert which is a chocolate rum sponge cake with walnut and raisin with chocolate syrup. Sounds rich right? It was not. It was a perfect balance and not too sweet believe it or not. It is called Somloi. The restaurant is charming and shows its Hungarian culture with additional market items on sale and it also shows its family background with the pictures by the bathroom. Loved our experience here and our service. Def happy our first Hungarian experience was right here.

Our appetizer choice was potato pancakes (latte style) with sour cream. This was good start, nicely done brown but not dried & crunchy. The chicken paprikash was on spaetzle with nice sauce and dallop of sour cream. There was plenty of chicken, but a little more sauce would have helped. The service was excellent and very personal. We were happy with value and quality of meal. We will return to try more. The blended Eastern European food we grew up around was different. This is more traditional.

A nice male server came helping the waitress and apologized for the wait and took our drink order. When we received our food my breakfast bowl didn't have any eggs on it they later brought me an egg in a separate bowl then later the second egg, there should have been 2-eggs with the meal. It had coleslaw in the bowl with potatoes which were cold. one of my sisters had the same thing and we both agreed it was terrible. My other sister had the oscar egg something her eggs were like boiled eggs and tasted strange. The only two meals that were good were the breakfast sandwich but the potatoes were cold. I wished I had just ordered from the regular menu maybe the food would have been better. I remembered after we left that the good brunch I had been to was at Mila's the restaurant in front of the Riverhouse. I will go back eventually but never for brunch. There was no ambiance just noise.

    Second Visit I have been back two times since my original…read morereview. The second time was with a friend for her birthday her choice. On this visit, we sat out front, which was clean with beautiful weather. I ordered the breakfast tacos, which had no meat just scrambled eggs. I added chopped bacon which didn't help much. The eggs tasted watered down. I've never seen breakfast tacos with no meat unless they were vegetarian. The prices should be more in line with what you're getting IMO. Third Visit On my most recent visit, I took my kids. They ordered the brioche French toast, which comes with two slices of French toast a few strawberries and blueberries. I ordered them a side of eggs scrambled not pictured. I ordered myself à la carte potatoes, and two eggs. Not impressed at all the eggs were supposed to be over easy and they had crispiness on the sides. My children did not like their scrambled eggs $6.94 for 3 eggs and non of us liked them. They tasted very watered down. I will say they did refund me on my 2 crispy eggs. We will not be going back anytime soon. Which is very unfortunate because this is in a great location, clean and the staff is very friendly. Their pricing for the quality is just way off. If you're charging $14 for 2pcs French toast and $7 for three eggs it should be mouth watering.
