    Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs
    Greg T.

    Came here to celebrate my birthday meal reward. The rating does not reflect the fact that it was free. Our server approached our table and asked if we wanted coffee with out breakfast and we both did. She returned with a small pot that gave each of us two cups and she brought creamer and the water bottle and glasses we asked for. Our orders were placed and off she went to tell the kitchen staff what we desired. In no time, our food arrived piping hot and perfectly prepared.

    We stopped by the wildwood location on our way to the villages to visit our grandparents. Service was good, the food was decent, we have had better at other locations back home in Ohio. We ordered the Million Dollar Bacon, Traditional Breakfast, Cinnamon Chip Pancake Breakfast, Belgian Waffle & Bacado Omelette. Plenty of parking available in the parking lot.

    Excellent experience! Fast service. Nice presentation. Tasty brekkie: pancake, eggs and pork sausage. Hot coffee served in thermos pitcher, always piping hot when I wanted some. Easy check out experience with QR code on receipt.

    Fabulous experience today with good tasting food and excellent service. The place is cute with a farm like atmosphere. Love love the Belgium Waffle and more.

    French Toast- a bit overdone
    Barbara M.

    First off, I'm a first watch fan I've eaten at many of their locations I different states. They are pretty consistent. For this one, we opted to door dash it, so I cannot speak to the restaurant itself. The food was good. We ordered twice during our trip. Just a couple complaints, 1) they do not provide enough condiments for the food. We had a group of 4 and had to scrape between us to make everything work. We even called ahead and were assured they'd provide additional condiments, but they did not. 2) The French toast was a bit overdone, but still edible. Everything else was good.

    Eggs Benedict

    My new favorite breakfast chain! We were sat as soon as we walked in--no wait on a Saturday morning. Our server was super friendly and quick, the menu selection was great, and food was delicious. Highly recommend the eggs Benedict.

    I love First Watch. The food is consistently good no matter which location you visit. The seasonal menus always give you new options to look forward to! They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Our service at this location was great as usual and so was the food! The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere is relaxed. Sign up for emails and specials. You receive occasional discounts and a free birthday entree!b

    We had an excellent breakfast complete with sangria and a pineapple express. Server was fantastic and the restaurant is an adorable farmhouse theme. We'll definitely be back.

    We've been here several times and have done take out a few times. I recommend both. The good: 1) Food is delicious - I really enjoy how they make their omelets (not super fluffy - with added crap like pancake batter); they have gluten free toast and don't charge extra for it! 2) They have a lot of healthy options - it's not all gravy smothered - want egg whites? want fresh fruit, want lots of veggies in your omelet - no problem 3) Lots of options - you can order breakfast items during their entire operating hours 4) Nice rustic/modern décor The bad: 1) Not much really - The first time we were there, they didn't tell us you take the check up to the register to pay, so we were waiting a long time before we figured that out 2) It can get really crowded, especially during snow bird season (that's when I recommend take out) 3) It costs more to eat breakfast here than say a diner, but the food is more elevated Our favorites so far: The works omelet; Farmhouse hash and the Bacado Omelet. Tips: 1) You can order whatever you want - my husband just wanted 2 eggs over easy one day and bacon and that was no problem; 2) Once you get the check, you pay up front 3) You can order Gluten Free toast for free

    Great food and service. One of the best breakfast places in the area. It's always popular so you might have to wait for a table.

It was a cold day and we were looking forward to some Colombian cuisine which was new to us. The place was easy to overlook as the signage didn't really stand out. And more construction is ongoing along Hwy 301 further obscuring visibility into this location. In any case, this is not a "sit down" restaurant as we had to place our order before sitting down. We previously checked out the menu online so we pretty much knew what we wanted to order. I ordered the Paisa Bowl ($17) and my wife tried their Steak and Papas bowl ($20). We also ordered French fries ($3.50) and a can of Coke Zero ($2.50). I thought service was a tad slow (there were maybe 5 tables occupied including us) but we were served our lunch soon enough. Our first impressions were good presentation but the portions were meager. The fried pork belly pieces were nice and crunchy but there weren't enough of them. The ground beef had good flavors and I liked the fried egg over the rice and beans. My wife liked the flavor of the beef, although a bit fatty for her taste, but found the potatoes a bit dry and wished they were French fries instead. Speaking of French fries, it was served with this savory dipping sauce but again, the serving portion was miserly. My wife thought the guacamole was nice and fresh, making it the best part of her meal. All in all, we came away liking the flavors but thinking the value and portions were lacking. Service was a bit detached as well. Lunch for 2 with tip came out to just over $51.
