Brussel Sprout Scramble
Erica B.

First watch is a great place to go for a quick bite and quality food. This was my first time visiting this location and I tried a seasonal Brussel sprout hash. It was very good, perfect amount of seasoning and my egg was crispy in all the right places. Our service was great for a large group, the waitress so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. It wasn't busy for a Thursday morning. I would visit again if I'm in the area.

Enjoyed breakfast this morning at First Watch. Had to get the Million Dollar Bacon, didn't disappoint. I chose the Bacado Omelette, with potatoes, and my wife chose the Salad/Soup Pick Two, having the Chicken Avacado Chop Salad and the Tomato Basil Soup, all of the food was quick to come out, and delicious. Alanna our server did a good job of checking in on us. Recommend stopping in.

Tangerine Dream. This was an (apparently) limited time type of juice at the juice bar!

This place gives people a unique experience! They have meals here for breakfast lunch and brunch, all different than the norm for dishes but tasty as far as I've had. They also have a juice bar with some switched out to give the chance to try other new juices! This place is great. Don't come around the week end if you are concerned about noise. It is also not as packed if you avoid days like Friday. Hope if you want to taste unique dishes for a nice brunch or breakfast you check out First Watch. It is worth the try!

A rare event for us to dine at a restaurant in Springfield. We were running out -of -town errands and wanted brunch and ended up here. Nice for parking (coming from the city this always feels like a luxury). Our service was stellar and the place is nice with spread-out tables and booths and lots of light. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, my daughter ordered the brisket hash and we shared the skillet cornbread. My sandwich was ok. I didn't alert my server, but the avocado tasted over- ripe so I scraped it off. The brioche was a bit soggy and the egg didn't really run. The potatoes were good, however! My kid's brisket hash was decent but no "wow" factor. This is an ok place to get brunch. It wasn't delicious but it definitely wasn't terrible. I am aware this is a restaurant franchise so perhaps relying on the brand is a thing. It just didn't taste that fresh which was a bit disappointing.

Plenty of parking in this strip mall My family raved about First watch so I had to check them out. Glad I did ... breakfast was so good and portions are huge. We got there by 830 which was perfect. Looks like it can get busy Service was good. Felt a bit rush when the check was dropped off while we were in the middle of eating. Then waitress never came back That is my only con. I'll be back for the breakfast

What a great addition to my area!! I don't have many fancier breakfast spots around me (fancy as in not just typical pancakes, waffles, eggs, omelets, etc), so was so excited when I saw this place. Service was top notch and the food was delicious. My kids had regular pancakes and the chocolate chips ones. I had the lemon ricotta ones. Oh man, were the pancakes so fluffy. It has a nice crisp but so soft on the inside. I ordered a side of chicken sausage with it (needed something other than carbs on top of carbs). It was definitely on the list of top chicken sausages I've had. My husband had an omelet. I had a bite of his and the mushrooms that they served in it was sooooo good. They weren't the typical flat mushrooms, but they were large and very fresh. Wish it came with more mushrooms in it. Can't wait to go back and try other things

Their BLT with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and bacon. It was YUM!!!!
Eli T.

THIS. WAS. YUM. The food here was awesome! I got their BLT, and it was SOO good! The salad that I got was ok, and their juices were yum as well. The service was good, but the building was pretty cold and was very busy, so if you want to eat here, expect to wait some time. Then, I had to go to the bathroom. I kid you not, THE HANDICAP STALL WAS SOOOO BIG!!!!!! It had its own sink, baby changing thing, toilet, and so much room! It was very nice inside but the lunch menu is small though. 8/10 do recommend for a nice brunch.

Morgan F.

Food and service were really great. The prices however are a bit steep for the portions. Ambiance is nice and clean, can get crowded on weekends.

Chanthorn H.

Both service and food have been great the few times I have gone. I tend to stick with the "The Works" omelette with extra mushrooms. Oh man, the mushrooms are so flavorful and taste so fresh. I could eat these all day. I also order a side of their chicken sausage. Mmmm, drooling! Other items I have tried are dishes from either my wife or my kids and they never disappointed them or me. Definitely a breakfast spot that I'll always come back to.

The 1st time I tried theirs I simply couldn't believe how great it was. The crust was perfectly done.. crispy and cooked just right. The sauce and toppings were first rate and delicious.

A large pepperoni pizza. And 1 large cheese steak/whiz wit fried onions . We dig into the pizza first...I'd say its good. Not super great but good. Id say 4 out of 5. Only because it was a little flimsy when eating. It was real good flavor but almost fork and knife pizza. But to me that's okay. The flavor was on point. I would consider reordering. The egg rolls were real good. I actually sucked these down with my wife on the way home. It was like 3 egg rolls but maybe not as big as Chinese food eggrolls. But i would recommend. Maybe slightly on the pricey side but damn good. So I was on the fence about things until this cheese steak. The meat seems better than most in the area. I would say that it was a hair light on the whiz cheese and a few too many onions away from being perfect. The roll was slightly soggy by the time I got to it. But that was my fault. This steak is why I posted this review. I might order again tomorrow. Highly recommended.

Went to The Ridley House today and was really disappointed with the service. Our server took a long…read moretime to come over initially, and after that we barely saw her. Our drinks were empty for most of the meal, and we had to ask another server just to find her. One of our drinks was made wrong, and when we finally got her attention, she seemed annoyed she needed to come to our table and actually walked away while we were still talking, which felt really dismissive. What makes it more frustrating is that there's an automatic 18% gratuity even for small tables. I ended up having to tipping $22 total, and for only seeing her a handful of times, it definitely didn't feel deserved. To top it off, when I mentioned to the head bartender (who was acting as the manager) that I wouldn't be coming back, he pulled $40 cash out of his own wallet and offered it to me to "give them another chance." It honestly made me feel so uncomfortable and was not an appropriate way to handle the situation. The food was fine, but the service and overall experience were not. For the prices and the built-in tip, I expected much better. I will not be returning.

I'm not liking the service here. There appears to be one person working the tables in the bar area…read more We were seated at 2:28pm. We placed a drink order approximately 6 minutes in. I ordered the soft serve margarita but they were out of cherry so I settled for one flavor only to hear the server offering cherry flavor to the next table when they arrived maybe 35 minutes after we arrived. We placed our food order at 2:40pm. I received my margarita at 3:09pm. We received our food at 3:16pm. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was really good. The thick steak like fries were fine. We asked for the bill and it took about 20 minutes and she has to be reminded when we saw her walk by to bring the check.

The wild shrimp, the spinach dip with potato soup, strawberry salad, porterhouse with Parmesan crust, asparagus, loaded potato corn everything was just out of this world.

One of the things that I was surprised about was there amount of people here. It was almost literally packed on a Monday night.

I don't know when this location went so far downhill, but this was honestly one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. I was told my food was ready at 9:12 and didn't actually receive it until 9:40 after having to walk inside myself and ask for it. On top of that, I ordered a medium well steak and it came out completely charred black. The bread was stale and hard, they forgot the butter for the sweet potato, and the Brussels sprouts had so much salt dumped on them they were basically inedible. To make things even more unprofessional, while customers were waiting outside, two bus boys were standing there talking to each other while one showed the other pictures on his phone saying, "Look at this girl, I'm sleeping with her and her friend." Completely inappropriate behavior in front of customers. Really sad to see because this used to be one of my favorite spots.

About a week before booking a table at the Broad Table Tavern, a friend of ours came to us and told…read moreus they had a great time here. If definitely fed into our decision but we were looking for something nearby as my godmother wanted to take us to dinner for our anniversary after seeing our daughters in Newsies nearby. As always, I booked our table under my moniker, Sir Cornelius Silkbottom, to which the person taking reservations seemed a bit apprehensive, as I am very used to at this point. However, our reservation was perfect, and when we showed up at the nice little restaurant attached to the Inn at Swarthmore, we were seated right away, and next to the large windows that open up to the seated patio with a beautiful view of the golden hour of the day. One thing that was a little strange was that they charged for bread. Throughout our meal we kept having questions about what the true intention of what the Broad Table was going for in their presentation and their service. Our server and the staff was very nice, but we couldn't put our finger on whether the place is supposed to be very high-end, and upscale farmhouse style new American joint, farm-to-table, or what the heck was going on here. All I do know is that we enjoyed the heck out of what we ordered. Where they seemed to shine the most was in the very little nuanced things; a sweet lavender butter provided with the bread was a show stopper. The beet sauce along with my halibut was also outstanding. Everyone's meal was great, but we simply couldn't pin a label on this place, which may be the very purpose to begin with. Maybe Broad Table doesn't need a label or to be boxed in, and it really doesn't matter because it's delicious and the selection is varied enough for everyone! What is great about Broad Table Tavern is that it can be a standalone bar, a restaurant, and if you happen to be staying at the Inn, it is definitely a place to go for your meals. It's not cheap, but it is a great stop that will Make things easy for meals especially if you are here visiting kids in college to for a conference or another event. If you are in the area, this can easily become a place for a nice meal for two or a group, but as the evening gets later, the space becomes a bit more intimate for a date and it isn't too loud, sometimes featuring a live pianist. I suggest you try it out if you live in the area or happen to be traveling here, it will not disappoint!
