    Steak and eggs chimichuri
    Tad S.

    Great first watch service is great. Coffee is awesome . I had a new plate steak and eggs chimichuri sauce with potato hash. I have to say it was tasty and just enough. My wife had frittata rustika. It was good as well . We really liked the brunch breakfast . If you haven't gone to this first watch you should try it... you'll like it I give them a 5 stars....

    Love this spot for breakfast or brunch! The food is always fresh and flavorful--favorites like the avocado toast, breakfast tacos, and their seasonal specials never disappoint. The staff is super friendly and the vibe is relaxed and welcoming. Great coffee, awesome juice options (try the Morning Meditation!), and everything comes out quickly. Clean space, good service, and consistently great meals. One of my go-to places to start the day right!

    This location always seems to be crazy busy but the staff is great about making the wait go by very quickly. As soon as a table is exiting, the bus person is right there to clean and set it up for the next patrons. Our server took a minute to come to our table so we had a passing server stop and take our drink order. They have some incredibly fresh juices that seem to be new to the menu. Coffee is delicious and complimentary refills and even a to go cup. The menu is quite expensive with great brunch and lunch items. All very reasonably priced. I ordered the Salmon Frittata and side greens. The flavors were great and all fresh ingredients. Even their bread that comes buttered on the side is fresh baked. The rest of my table ordered the Italian Sausage Omelet with roasted red peppers and Italian tomatoes which tasted like a home style dish. The trio of tacos were served with homemade corn tortillas and loaded with fresh ingredients. The Poached Eggs and bacon with potatoes was basic but cooked perfectly. All our food was served as ordered and delivered hot off the grill or griddle. The service was excellent and I look forward to my next visit.

    Pretty solid brunch place! First time in this location and it's smaller than their other locations. Parking is easy to find as it's in a lot. We came around 09:30 and were seated easily with no wait for a party of 5. Service and staff were friendly. I got the avocado toast which was good. Nothing stood out but it was a pretty good option. We also got a side of millionaires bacon which, let's be honest, is always a must! We also tried the French toast and it was yummy too! Not a big French toast girlie but I had to get something sweet! The vibes were what you'd expect from a classic breakfast/brunch restaurant

    Perfect brunch! We had waffles with bacon and eggs, a tasty tomato soup with a half veggie sandwich, and finished with the best chocolate chip pancakes. Great service and cozy vibe. Can't wait to come back!

    I had heard a lot about this franchise so after completing the breast cancer walk with a group of friends we decided to drop in. I ordered the trifecta and a side of cheese grits. The pancake was fried hard and was dry...not fluffy. The scrambled eggs tasted like the eggs I used to eat out the box while stationed overseas. The two strips of bacon were ok and the cheese grits were extremely salty and didn't have that creamy texture like you'd get at Justspoons. The service was the bright spot of the breakfast. The young lady we had was attentive and brought out everything in a timely manner. In today's climate of high prices, saving money is a must, with that being said I could have gotten a grand slam at Denny's for $6 and had a better experience.

    Came here to treat myself on my birthday after a spa pedi next door and had a wonderful lunch! As with all of their locations, this one is usually very busy with patrons on a waiting list, but a party of one is easy to accommodate. I had the Barbacoa quesadillas eggs Benedict which was amazing. What I don't recommend is the side of beans because they were watery and lacked flavor. Besides that, the service was on point.

    If there were a 10-star button, Maya at First Watch would've easily earned it! She's incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive--truly a standout. I usually go to the Plantation location, but after being served by Maya, I might just be switching things up. She made my visit feel special from start to finish. Give that girl a raise!

    www.TheRagingFork.com Great location and big parking lot. Always packed on weekends for brunch time. The wait times are usually 15 - 20 min not bad for weekends. The servings are huge and the loaded pancakes are phenomenol. The male manager is always working hard and polite. Never had a bad meal. 5 stars for sure. Bathrooms are clean too.

    Ally's Comfort Cafe - 136th and State Road 84 in Davie…read more I really did not want to leave this review. I tried with all of my might to do everything I could to not leave this review. Ally's comfort Café has been a staple in Northwest Davie forever. *Now, Ally, moved away a little while ago and new owners took over. They kept the same recipes which made us hopeful that things would pretty much remain the same. But little by little all of the staff that had been there for years started leaving. I think there's only a couple of the longtime staff left. We'll get back to the staff in a moment. My wife and I go to Ally's every Saturday morning. We go there have a great breakfast and then go to the Publix next-door to do our weekly shopping. There's obviously going to be hiccups when new owners take over a restaurant. We totally understand this. But some things are just not improving. They open at 8 AM on Saturdays. But, between 8 and 9 AM there's only one waitress and one bus boy this didn't always used to be the case. They used to have the full staff and someone at the door to take names. He would also help out by getting you drinks or more coffee if you needed it. It worked really well for the small family restaurant. The new owners took over and at some point they decided they only needed limited staff between 8 and 9 AM on Saturdays. And of course, every Saturday my wife and I go in there. It gets packed and the waitress is running around like her head is cut off and the busboy is overwhelmed. This isn't a one time thing it has been constant since they made the staffing change. It's completely unfair to the waitress and busboy and it's also a complete turn off to patrons who have to wait sometimes up to 10 or 15 minutes just for the poor waitress to come and take their order this morning. A couple waited 20 minutes before their order was taken. Also, the owner/manager doesn't get there until almost 9 herself, which means there's no management in the restaurant to help with the register or put out "fires." It. Is. Not. Working. Ally's has been known for their specials for years. They always have amazing special pancakes and special French toast. It's one of the main reasons we still go there. It's our little weekly treat. Lately the specials have been very monotonous. Some sort of jelly put on some French toast or some sort of cream put on a pancake. Not real imaginative for instance, today was banana cream and chocolate pancakes. It was a dollop of banana cream on a chocolate pancake that had little taste. One could've added some fresh bananas, or maybe some whipped cream on top of that. Meanwhile, the special pancakes and special French toast are often made wrong by the staff. This happened this morning. It took them twice to get the pancakes right and three times to get the French toast, right. Again, this is not a one time occur occurrence. We never complain. But we were surprised to still see those items on the bill and not discounted at all, but that's OK. The thing that really drove me to write this review, is that I waited for more than 10 minutes to speak to the owner/manager on our way out. I thought the best way to handle our dissatisfaction would be to speak to her personally. She disappeared into the kitchen, and even after the waitress went to tell her we were waiting to speak with her, she was nowhere to be found. No I understand things come up in the kitchen, but she could've at least came out and said hey I know you're here, I'm dealing with a problem, I'll be right back. But we waited and waited and waited and nothing despite all of the above, that's what irked me the most. I will say this. The food is still very good. And the waitresses and buses are amazing. None of this is their fault. They should all be paid more in dealing with a kitchen that can't get right and an owner that can't seem to figure out good customer service. We will certainly give them another chance, it's part of our routine. But after biting my tongue, I had to let everyone know what was happening at one of our favorite spots in Broward County.

Finding the place was a little tricky, but if you follow the lawn signs, they'll eventually lead you to the coffee nook, just make sure to look for the glass doors labeled THE GLADES. As you enter, you're greeted by the soothing sounds of instrumental music filling the lobby of the space where Getsemani is located. The area itself is beautiful, spacious with plenty of seating, lounging area areas, and even a pool table. It feels more like a lobby of a resort than a cafe. When I approached the coffee counter, no one was there at first, so I wondered if they might not even be open yet. There was no hot food available and not even the smell of anything cooking. After walking around for about a minute, I went back to look at the menu and take some pictures. A man then came out from the back and asked if I wanted to. I ordered an iced caramel frappe. While he was making my drink, I walked around and take more photos and videos, the space really is stunning. The gentleman who helped me was friendly, and once my drink was made, I paid and headed off to work. A few minutes after getting settled, I finally tried my coffee. Immediately, no! Something was off. I took another sip and the overpowering aroma and taste of onion hit me. It was so unexpected and unpleasant that I couldn't finish the drink. I'm not sure what caused it, maybe the ice, the cups, or the equipment used to prepare the coffee, but whatever it was, the onion flavor completely ruined the experience. It's disappointing because I was so excited to try this place. For now, I can only leave a three star review. If I return and have a better experience, I'll gladly update this review. One more note, at 9:40am it didn't seem like any food was available to order. The trays at the front were all empty, and there was no sign of breakfast being preped. Considering the cafe is in a high profile area surrounded by offices I would have expected for breakfast to be ready, especially during morning hours. Perhaps I was just too early, but breakfast at 9:40 isn't exactly unusual, right?

Literally, after ten minutes, I finally broke down and shamefully asked a roving security officer for the cafe location who smirked and then pointed at a nearby office building. Plenty of parking in front of the glass entry doors which oddly still did not display the name of the Cafe. I entered an absolutely super modern entertainment area including table shuffleboard, wall scrabble and a pool table surrounded by comfy couches, big screen TVs and teak wood tables. Im assuming a mass majority of the customers are derived from the adjoining office buildings. The cafe was open to the relaxation area and game room although still no name visible, but an obvious cafe. The owner Nellio, graciously greeted me and took my espresso order, which he brewed with Italian blended coffee beans called Lavazza. The strong coffee was priced well at $3.00 and well worth the hunt. They open early at 7am and close post lunch at 3pm. They offer seven different salad combinations around $8.00 with an optional chicken, pork or shrimp topper. Now that I know this cafe exists, I will stop in for a Cobb Salad on my next visit and will spread the word. Almost forgot - told the owner to put signage for his cafe out front, and he agreed.

And couldn't even stay to enjoy the ambiance, we had to rush. My friends cinnamon roll was burned. And we didn't open the box until we left. See photos i will post. You definitely should have more than one person working especially Friday busy morning. I've noticed a lot of businesses want to cut costs by not hiring more employees but in the long run the service and quality of food will go downhill.

We ordered the turkey and cheese croissant sandwiches, which were simply delicious, fresh, flaky, and just what we needed to recharge. I also ordered a Café con Leche, which will absolutely hype you up to continue picking the right plants for your garden. On top of that, they offer a wide selection of smoothies.
