    Monterey Club
    Carmen S.

    We had the blazing dragon drink, honey chipotle chicken hash, Monterey club, and the million dollar bacon. Our server was great! Friendly and attentive. The dining area was clean in spite of it being crowded. Can't say the same for the restrooms, completely trashed. The drink was too tart, my son just ate the dragon fruit out of it. He wasn't a fan. He loved his hash though. He enjoyed the different flavors. I was not a fan of the bread that was used on my club. It was dry, stale and fell apart. I ended up eating it mostly open faced. Took one star off because of it. The ingredients were fresh and the portion size was generous. I didn't even finish my food (ate about half). Best thing I had was that million dollar bacon. It's definitely one of those crave-able items.

    Salmon Frittata
    Kristine L.

    Came to First Watch with my family (10 of us total) for brunch on my sister's graduation day. The restaurant wasn't packed, but I could tell they were short staffed. There were several tables with open seats and dishes left on the table. 20min a prior to getting to the restaurant, we used the online get in line feature. Once we got to the restaurant, we had to wait an additional 20 minutes to get seated. Once we ordered, the food came quick, however it was difficult to get water refills. I ordered the salmon frittata with salad. Overall the dish was filling, but expect actual salmon, not smoked salmon. Pancakes, hash, and power bowls are pretty good here!

    Million dollar potatoes

    Food was amazing. Well prepared and tasty. Menu is robust with plenty of choices... but well organized and not overwhelming. Service was great overall. But you will want to know your order when you get seated if it's busy... because they will check on you frequently but once the order goes in you still may wait a bit for food. Which leads to the only downside - on a busy weekend morning your wait may be extensive. No reservations but you can add to a waitlist. Do so online before you go. We were quoted 45-60 mins online... got there at 30 mins just in case but waited a total of 55 mins to be seated from being placed on the waitlist. Unfortunately, despite all four of us looking at the menu beforehand. Once we sat down, there was a little bit of a discussion regarding several items. So we first placed our drink orders. When the waitress came back with drinks, we were not quite ready, and asked for a few minutes. This was a mistake. A few minutes turned into 10 minutes. By the time, she finally came back to get our order , we had been there for 20-25 minutes already. No big deal... Or so we thought. A full 45 minutes later she came by to explain that because there were "a lot of go orders "our food was delayed. This is poor kitchen ticket management in my opinion. The people seated in your restaurant should be the priority, and have a separate queue from take out orders. Take out and delivery orders should not force customers waiting in your restaurant to wait even longer. Especially because that exacerbates the wait for people sitting outside waiting to be seated. Bottom line - great food, good service but sometimes slow, long wait to sit and eat. Plan ahead and you won't be starving by the time your food arrives!

    Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs
    Kyra T.

    Food was delicious and our server was attentive and kind. The only issue is there are basically no meat options other than turkey. I should have done more research before going, but you'd think they'd at least have a few options or the ability to switch things out given not everyone likes turkey.

    Steak & bacon breakfast burrito
    Anna K.

    First Watch is a go-to breakfast place no matter where you are. When we arrived, we were sat right away. This is not the case for the people who came in around when we were finishing up. You have to get to First Watch early in the morning to avoid the wait. But even if there is a wait, the staff are very efficient. They are making sure everyone is taken care of and happy. We chose the Steak & Bacon Breakfast Burrito and the Sunny Seoul Hash along with some coffee. My husband thought the burrito was on the spicy side, but the avocado helped a lot. The hash wasn't their best one. It was a little lacking in flavor. Also, the eggs were over cooked, but not bad. I'll probably give this one another try later in the season to see if it has improved. If you're looking for an absolute amazing hash, come for the spring/summer seasonal menu and try the Tacos Al Pastor one. It did get very busy towards the end of our meal so we did not order any of their juices to go. Our server looked extremely busy but was able to give every table his attention.

    Mint mocha
    Ashleigh M.

    We loved First Watch in Kansas City, so we came here during our Virginia stay. We had a very different experience at this location. I was very excited to try their fall menu. Parking is easy, they have a large lot. We got on the waitlist ahead of time on their website, but this Monday morning they were not very busy. So we had no wait time and were seated immediately. The kind hostess sat us at a very wobbly table, so we asked to move, and she was happy to accommodate, and later I saw the staff trying to remedy the table. I appreciated that. Our waitress greeted us but didn't seem too cheerful to be working that morning. She offered us coffee and to take our drink orders. I ordered their fall drink, the Mint Mocha. I do not recommend this drink. It was mostly ice and foam, and it took a few sips to get used to the artificial mint flavoring. No coffee flavor. I wouldn't get it again. She then took our food order. My husband asked for their fall menu's hash, the million-dollar something hash, and she informed us that as of yesterday's Sunday rush they were out of the important ingredients that make it special, the bacon and the sauce. That was disappointing. I was going to order the breakfast tacos and received a similar response. I don't remember her being too apologetic about it either, which put me in a mood that resulted in short responses to her (sorry waitress :( ). We ended up needing more time to look at the menu and try again. I know running out of ingredients is not her fault at all, but the disappointment was still there, and the delivery of the news could have been more empathetic. My husband enjoyed his chicken sandwich and really liked the potatoes. My tri fecta wasn't anything special, but the waffle was yummy. Please note that it is a $2 charge to get cheese added to eggs... that was unexpected. The place was clean and well-decorated, I just left disappointed with the interaction of the waitress.

    French toast with Berry compote and side of seasoned potatoes
    Cassandra T.

    Highly recommend the French toast ! So good, came with warm syrup as well. I ordered a side of seasoned potatoes as well and they were tasty. I went at 2P and was empty as they close at 230. Friendly waitress and host. Food came out quick. Chill vibe. Had a nice outdoor seating area too

    Very good menu (breakfast, brunch), service and atmosphere for a busy place in New Town.

    Market Hash
    Abigail R.

    Such fresh delicious food! And it came out so. Fast. I got one of their fresh juices and got it boosted, holy moly was it great. The staff was so kind and so attentive. The vibes were so good. And they care about the planet. This place was truly a home run for me, fresh, healthy, and planet conscious. Couldn't ask for anything better.

The menu also has so many food options, making it easy to find something for everyone. The food overall was great and very enjoyable. However, I would not recommend the brownie and chocolate sundae dessert. The brownie and cookie were cold and hard, which made the dessert disappointing. On the positive side, the carrot cake was huge and definitely worth sharing -- easily enough for 3-4 people. The service was excellent as well. Our waiter was very attentive throughout the meal and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, Second Street American delivers great food variety, strong service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, with just a few misses on dessert.
