    Chili Chorizo
    Jazmyn R.

    My boyfriend and I went after a 5k and I guess we all had the same idea. The wait time wasn't too bad compared to other places. We stayed and the 30 minutes went by fast. The hostess was super friendly and upbeat. She made the wait better just by her positive energy. This was our first time trying first watch. It was definitely worth the wait. The waitress was super helpful and patient with us. She walked us through the menu and let us know of what was seasonal and what's available year round. We both really enjoyed our food. The vibes were chill. It wasn't too quiet or too noisy. The wait time for our drinks and food wasn't too bad. Our server was very attentive as well. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely recommend.

    First let me say AMAZING EVERYTHING! The waiters and waitresses are consistent which I love! We are becoming a regular. We have switched from dinner dates to more quiet breakfast dates together, and we are now only coming to First Watch! We LOVE it here! The food is not what some will expect, I understand! It's on the healthier side, but this is so much better for all of us! First Watch is setting the standard for better, cleaner, HEALTHIER eating! Their eggs come from a farm where they are not left in a small cage all day but rather they free range. Owning chickens myself, chickens have complex emotions and yes, they are super kind animals, so no, I'm not vegan, lol. I eat bacon and it's amazing here. But I love that they don't buy caged eggs. Prices a little higher? That's why friends! You are getting what is being sourced! We love it here, and it's quieter for us to enjoy and friendly faces!!! We are blessed to have this in town! The only thing we would like to see change is a veteran and first responder discount (not able to be used together!)

    On this busy Saturday morning our party of three was seated quickly, and our server was friendly and attentive even though she, and everyone working, was very busy. I love that they gave us a carafe of coffee. That's convenient, especially when things are busy. Our food arrived surprisingly fast. My Bacado omelette was excellent. I couldn't detect any dressing on my greens, and when I said so, extra dressing was brought immediately. The table shared the delicious lemon blueberry cornbread, which was delish! My tablemates all said their brunch was as good as mine. Solid brunch spot.

    Choose two: I got Monterey Club with honey pecan salad.

    First time to visit. It was busy but understandably so due to the holidays. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was worth the meal. First I must commend the wait staff from the greeter to the cashier. All were professional and always quick to serve and had smiles which is something you can't fake. Great place for a breakfast or lunch. Our group had both due to the time of day. No one complained about anything they ordered and mine was fresh and delicious. Something for everyone on the menu. I noticed it was a lot less busy around 1 pm. There was plenty of parking but with a packed parking lot it was full and a very short walk to the door. Bathrooms were CLEAN. Could use a few more benches outside while waiting especially for those who can't stand long. I will put this place on my list to go back. :)

    The staff is super friendly and very helpful. We went on a Saturday morning and boy. Was it packed our wait time was 45 minutes plus so if you do have somewhere to go, please try to get there early. The breakfast is absolutely amazing. they have so many combinations of pancakes and different types of eggs. Everything was just so fabulous. I ended up getting eggs Benedict, which was cooked to perfection and runny just how it's supposed to be. The pancakes are very fluffy and the syrup is very sweet. It's like a Texas eatery with tables and chairs and very nice wooden finish on the walls. I can't wait to go back and try this place again next time I'm in Texas.

    Brunch after church.

    Our first time here and don't know why it has taken so long. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Love the selection of juices and the coffee is great. The atmosphere was warm and cozy on a cold morning. The food was hot and fresh and very tasty. We will definitely be back.

There's plenty of nice local establishments, but some can be pricey and some are just more casual than you want. Scott Williams has perfected the restaurants of Tyler that are balanced between affordable and still quite nice. He got his toes in the water with FDs, before expanding into Javi's, Twelve, and now the fanciest of them all in III Palms. I thought of all those options, Twelve would be the most unique and tasty for my girlfriend and I. We went in an hour before they closed on a Sunday and were seated immediately. We weren't too hungry so we didn't expect to be there past their closing time, and we were ready to go. Our waiter was quick and attentive, bringing us water and helping us decide on drinks from the bar and our order. He also showed us their insane over-the-top whiskey menu. If you like whiskey, give Twelve a shot I guess. To order, I just got their 'Osaka Style' Pressed Roll while my girlfriend got a Sushi Bowl Salad. We got Sweet Potato Fries to share. As for drinks, I started with their Monkey See, Monkey Do, an impressive and firm beverage, while my girlfriend ordered their Destin Dream, a fun Pina Colada-like drink. It wasn't long before our food came out. The sushi was beautifully plated with some wasabi and pickled ginger on the side. I destroyed all the rolls. They were all very fresh and very high quality, which was remarkable for their $13.50 price tag. My girlfriend's sushi bowl looked insane. She ate most of it, but I filled the gaps and devoured the rest of it. The sweet potato fries were crispy and heavenly like all sweet potato fries usually are. I felt adventurous and I got a second drink of their Rose Garden, which was simple but flavorful. Compared to FDs, the menu might be a little more sea-inspired and more adventurous, but I think it leads to better, more unique food, especially with offerings like Oyster Rockefeller and a sushi bar. I also know Twelve does a great brunch as well, so keep that on your radar. Ultimately, as the bill came, the price was very manageable even with the alcohol. It's nice that you don't fully have to break the bank to have a nice meal in Tyler thanks to places like Twelve. I rate it a 12/10. Get it? hahahaha... RIYL: A slightly adventurous, but affordable night out.

We were seated immediately at a clean table - no last minute wipe down that leaves the table sticky - our server was quick to take our drink orders and not pushy to get our food orders. The menu is very extensive so it took the man a couple more minutes to decide but as soon as I saw that double BLT sandwich I knew that was going in my belly! He ordered a meat lovers skillet, it seemed to us a small serving with more potatoes than meat, but he said it was tasty. I ordered the double BLT with candied pepper bacon. It was an exquisite sandwich. The bread was toasted to a beautiful crunch, the meat, tomatoes, lettuce were a good ratio to the bread. The aoli was good, too... not too sweet or hot, just full of flavor. This BLT was also BIG... I hate half and he ate the inners of the other half.
