    Chimichurri steak hash (seasonal)
    Judy M.

    We went on a Thursday arriving at 11:45 am to a 30 minute wait. I don't think it's was because they were so packed I think it was because they didn't have enough servers bc there were several tables empty and no one was on the patio. After 30 minutes I checked on where we were and one girl said another 15 minutes but then the young woman that said 30 minutes grabbed 2 menus and said follow me. We ended up at a 2 person table beside 2 empty booths and we did not even ask to change bc our favorite server had us! She's so good that she's worth the wait! I'm so sorry I can't remember her name! Of course we ordered coffee because theirs is so delicious we don't mind paying $3.99 for it! Normally, we always get water with lemon as our drinks but not here! We both decided to try something different then our usual orders. My friend had the chimmichurri steak hash and he ate every thing but a couple of potatoes, said it was very good and was happy he tried it. I chose the pick 2 half sandwich Roast beef and havarti with a creamy horseradish sauce and tomato basil soup. Both were excellent! The ambiance here is minimal but super clean including the restrooms. People definitely come for the food. We did miss the Belgium waffle we usually share but we decided we were too full to even attempt one ! No worries my birthday is in a couple of weeks and they always send a bogo happy birthday coupon if you are on their vip list, which of course, I am.... so there is a Belgium waffle in my future! Thank you First Watch for consistently being one of our favorite places!

    Biscuit and Turkey sausage with gravy.

    I was looking for the First Watch in Lawrenceville area but I found this location to be just as satisfying. The service was impeccable. The waitress kept a watchful eye on me and the rest of her customer. I had the biscuit and gravy fried egg, and home fries. My selection left me full. This location appears to be larger on the inside, and I didn't see outside dining as I did at the other location. The ambiance is, come as you are. I met a local and we sparked up a great conversation. He is well known here. I am happy that I chose to sit in the dining area and not at the community area. The community area is a large table that looks like The Last Supper. I chose not to sit there, and I am glad I did, the two gentlemen that were there, left and I would have been the only person sitting alone at such a big table. I do find the restaurant to be consistent with the Lawrenceville Ga location. All around it is a good place to eat.

    Watermelon mint juice (they couldn't even fill my cup up all the way)
    Akira C.

    Been coming here for years & yesterday was my last time. Placed an online order & I arrived once it said it was ready. I had to wait 34 min inside just to get my online order & the restaurant was not busy at the time. So this lets me know that they either forgot about my order or had to actually cook it once I got in .. idk but waiting that long once inside for an online order that should've been ready was very poor service & for all of that I probably was better off dining inside. Another thing I'd like to point out is that I asked two workers to check on my order and they never did and acted like it was a problem when I asked them to. There was no "sorry for the wait, it's coming out shortly" or nothing. The only lady who apologized & actually gave me an update towards the last 5 min of me waiting was an older woman with curly hairs/ blonde highlights & I appreciated her for that. Another thing, once I got my to go order .. my cup was not filled all the way, there were no utensils in my bag & my bacon was NOT cooked all the way through so again, they must've forgotten about my order & then rushed to make it when they realized I kept asking about it. I couldn't even eat the bacon so that was a waste of money. The purpose of placing an online order is so I don't have to deal with the long extended delays once in the restaurant. There needs to be a better system in place for online orders and the customer service needs to be improved.

    Strawberry dulce de leche French toast and million dollar bacon.
    Jerome H.

    I had the strawberry dulce de leche French toast along with the million dollar bacon and it was phenomenal. The problem existed due to not being told prior to dining that the heater was broken. It was freezing inside this restaurant. Would not have sat and ordered had I known. My server Kierra was excellent.

    Fresh juice- yummy
    C. G.

    1st time dining here- very crowded 45 min. Wait. Understood why. Menu had variety. Healthy food options. Fresh juices mixes too. Everything was yummy. Food was delish. Fresh, presentation was chefs kiss. Friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend & will definitely return.

    I've been meaning to try this place for a while so happy I finally got to visit today for birthday breakfast. Carrot cake pancakes were amazing & have to say never saw this as an option anywhere else.... Always a plus when there are brand new breakfast options. The service was fast, friendly and left nothing to be desired. I love that this location also has outside dining so have to come back for that experience when it's not so cold out. All in all, I recommend for breakfast & brunch that's not more of the same.

    Delicious! They have options for everyone and raw juices! Affordable and a cute environment

    What I ordered. Double crunch means double layered tortillas.
    Gloria H.

    I dropped in here after going to a nearby store. The poster board outside on the sidewalk drew me in. It was a picture of breakfast tacos that look delicious. So that is what I ordered. They were amazingly good. It comes with fruit but I ordered the potatoes. Extra lime cream on the side for the tacos. I had an amazing server who was very attentive. You can either pay at your table on your phone or go to the front desk. I always find it weird to pay at my table and then walk out. I want people to know I paid.Its just my personal phobia.

    Can't wait to see what it's hitting for!

    First Watch was busy when we arrived but they got us all in within 10min. We had a party of 7 so the wait for us was pretty quick. Our waitress was amazing considering how many people we had and the amount of food/drinks we ordered. The food was very good, ambiance was enjoyable! They have a patio outside but with this Ga heat I was happy to dine inside! They offer a lot of healthy food options and even have a nice healthy juice bar!

    That would be great if it was melted cheese but it isn't, it's runny egg whites.

    The Egg Duel at Hash House Gulch Act I: The Calm Before the Cracks The town of Sunny Morning was still rubbing sleep from its eyes as my posse and I ambled through the saloon doors. A place known for three things: near-impossible parking, a long waiting list and hash so good it could charm the spurs off a cowboy. I always order the same dish... Parma Hash, cooked over medium because there are only two ways the kitchen could dishonor my plate: burn the base or botch the egg. I always wait for my ladies to finish ordering first, in fact I almost always insist on being the last to order. It was a party of 3 1/2 today; wife, daughter, myself and a new 5 month old foster son we just took custody of (so realistically, 3). "Parma hash, eggs over medium as I can't eat a gooey hash. She asked if runny yoke was okay, of which I gladly agreed but reiterated the no clear yuck allowed. So now, with my terms clear to the waitress: "Runny yolk, sure, but not slimy. I want over medium--firm whites, no jiggling." She tipped her hat and rode off into the kitchen mist, promising a sunrise on a plate. What came back was... not it. Not even close. Act II: The Crack Heard 'Round the Table I stared down at the egg like a gunslinger inspecting a crooked revolver. The whites glistened like dew on a tombstone, uncooked and unapologetic. I broke it open like a vault, praying for gold but finding a gelatinous betrayal. My fork recoiled. The yoke, if you could call it that, instantly merged with the clear slime and pooled across my plate like a failed heist. I could hear my sausage scream as it died far too soon (and not in my mouth). My companions, already halfway through their meals, looked on as I sat in stunned silence. I could feel the weight of sleep deprivation from night two with our new foster son pressing on my shoulders. This meal was supposed to be the oasis... the reward for surviving the parental gauntlet. Instead, it became a culinary showdown. Act III: The Final Squeeze Defeated but still in the ring, I reached for the ketchup, my last hope to mask the damage. I squeezed once. Twice. Five times. Nothing. The bottle mocked me with silence. Finally, I twisted off the lid and found the untouched safety seal. A brand-new bottle, never opened, never ready. Like a gun with no bullets when the bandits are already charging. I flagged down the waitress. She offered a rematch, but her tone and heart wasn't in it, and the clock had already called time on my appetite. My team had finished, the sun had passed high noon, and the fight was over. I surrendered with the remaining bites of my daughter's leftover pancake. Summary for the Less Theatrically Inclined The wait was decent and food usually exceptional. Sadly when they get it wrong, it's a crash landing. My usual dish came back with raw egg whites and an unopened ketchup bottle. Staff offered to fix it, but it was too late and their lack of sincerity left me questioning if my request would be out in correctly or we'd just be risking a repeat. Odds were not in my favor and the baby was now starting to stir and get upset about sitting too long. Everyone else had eaten and I was too tired to fight for round two. Final Word Couldn't eat the egg. Couldn't get the ketchup. Couldn't catch a break. One star for effort. Zero stars for execution. One extra star given because 70 to 80% of the time I can get a decent meal without anything being fixed. A duel lost not with bullets, but with runny whites and a sealed fate.

    Traditional breakfast.

    Breakfast was delicious but expensive. Would of been cheaper if i hadn't ordered the Belgian waffle. It was good irregardless though.

    Morning Market Vegetable Omelet
    Brittney C.

    Me and my friend decided to grab breakfast after our wonderful walk in the park. She raved about this place so I decided we should give it a try. The parking is good in the area but it's a lot of restaurants and stores so you may have to wait for a spot. We were greeted and sat down pretty quickly. A thing to note - this place gets packed so you may wound up having to wait a while. The ambience is cool - reminds you of like a bread and board type of place. My waitress was great and made great recommendations. Even as busy as it was she was not gone out of sight too long. The food - AMAZING so yummy. Everything. The drinks - they were a little tart. More on the sour side almost tasted like alcohol. Still didn't take away from the experience just won't get that drink again. I asked for lemon and water and it tasted pure and refreshing! I'm looking forward to coming again as I really enjoyed myself.

I ordered the chicken nuggets and another chicken entree from the menu. When I received my order, one was in a box and the chicken nuggets were in a paper bag. When it was time for me to go I asked for a box to put my chicken nuggets in. The reply I received was "we don't give out boxes". I was deeply puzzled. I had just spent $30 for food and couldn't get a 3 cent box to put my food in? I was told they could give me a plastic bag. I kindly accepted it and left. This is no way to treat a customer who patronizes your business. There are so many other places I could have gone. I will utilize yelp services to find other places to go. To people reading this review, I wonder how you will be treated. Hopefully better than me. I do not recommend this business! (1 Star from me )
