Thank you to Carl for the exceptional welcome and service during our recent breakfast visit. On a…read moreWednesday morning, our party of four was seated promptly and enjoyed perusing the ample options on the menu. This adorable restaurant had such a cozy, small town vibe, but with such a wide range of menu options from basic to refined. We were seated near the kitchen and Carl helped guide us through options, particularly one of the specials which we adored: Double Bacon Parmesan Hash -- so many layers of flavor, enticing and balanced. The waffles and pancakes were a highlight for the kids, my smoked salmon eggs Benedict was decent. For drinks, I appreciated the coffee refills to keep us warm that chilly morning and the kids loved the Tangerine Dream drink with tummy cream foam on top, while the adults tried out the Cinnamon Toast Drink, garnished with a cinnamon stick. Definitely would visit First Watch again! Although we realized it's a chain here, it definitely had small business vibes and did a great job with the food, service, and a lovely environment. Thanks y'all!

I went to First Watch for the first time earlier this month and I was surprised at how much I…read moreenjoyed it. The restaurant is a chain that is common, but that may be for good reason. I had the pumpkin pancake with chicken sausage and eggs. I was nervous that the chicken sausage wouldn't be as good as pork but it didn't disappoint. It was great! The eggs I got were a little small. More like 1.5 eggs than 2. But overall the dish was terrific

The menus could be kept at the table if you seat yourself. It is much busier here than when I first started dining here so they may not have enough staff. The food did come out pretty quick though. On my most recent visit, I went with a double cheeseburger with fries. I got an iced tea too, and a refill was provided. The burger was prepared as ordered so no complaints there and a bottle of ketchup was brought for the fries. I really wanted another milkshake but it was too cold outside that day for me so hopefully next time will be a warmer day so that I will want a shake.

The menu is large and varied. I wanted both fried chicken and traditional breakfast food and they were able to accommodate both.

The service is fast and friendly, the value received is good, and the ice tea is dark, strong, and…read moreactually tastes like tea. The food, unfortunately, is distinctly meh. The day's special, chicken pastry, was far too salty. The butter beans lived up to their name. Their texture was buttery soft but they also were over salted. Deviled eggs weren't bad but the pickle brine used in the filling had a strong cinnamon note. The fried chicken was described to me as dry. Banana pudding, which came with the meal, was served pleasantly warm but had neither meringue nor whipped cream. We don't see many restaurants like this anymore - straightforward Southern home cooking, the kind you used to see at meat 'n threes all over NC. It's too bad that Big Ed's no longer seems to be doing their part in maintaining that legacy.

Came here with my daughter on a Saturday morning. We got there around 9ish and it was packed. There…read morewere barely any seats inside, and because it was a chilly morning and the patio was still a little wet, not many people were sitting outside. On a nicer day you can sit outside if you prefer. My daughter ordered the waffle with Nutella, and since she wanted syrup, we added the cinnamon glaze. She really enjoyed it. I do wish they had whipped cream as an option because I feel like waffles and whipped cream just go together, but that's honestly a small thing. I ordered the avocado toast with the fried egg on top and also the house-made granola. I did not realize the granola serving was going to be so big, so I definitely over-ordered, but no regrets because everything was so good. The avocado toast was delicious. The bread was soft, fresh, and filling, and the whole thing was just really satisfying. I ended up taking the granola to go, and later that day when I ate it, I was like wow... it was still amazing. Honestly one of the best granola and yogurt bowls I've had. So good. I also got an almond latte. Nothing overly fancy, just a solid latte done well. Staff were friendly and patient, especially with my daughter wanting to order. That always means a lot. Another plus: plenty of parking, and they have two single-stall bathrooms, which is helpful. I also really like the Lafayette Village area in general. After you eat, you can walk around, hang out, and enjoy the area a bit. So it can be a quick coffee stop, or you can make a little outing out of it. Definitely worth checking out.

They are located in a VERY BUSY shopping center. Lots of folks sticking around to hang outdoors in the area. Thankfully I found parking in the lot downstairs in a parking garage with a short walk over. The line was long but moved fast. It was cold and sorta dark inside and crowded compared to it being nice outside, so I chose to sit outside. The courtyard side was packed, so I sat on the parking lot side. Not the best view, but got the job done. They were still serving biscuits, but were no longer serving the oatmeal which was a disappointment. I got the yogurt instead and didn't care for the toppings. My coffee and food came out fast and the biscuit tasted amazing. The biscuit was large, the egg and bacon were perfectly cooked and the iced coffee was delicious. The food is the shining star here. I just wish the ambiance was better. I will be back on a weekday when it's less people to contend with.

She made sure our food was remade and even refunded both of our meals after they came out cold and were not good. Analise, our server, also did a great job and did the best she could with the situation. The issues we had were clearly on the kitchen side, not them. For food, I ordered the Baja Turkey Burger with house potatoes and a mimosa, and my meal was actually good. My mom and brother both ordered the Trifecta, but both meals had to be sent back because they were cold, and the turkey sausage did not look appealing at all (they had run out of regular sausage that day). My brother ended up getting the BLTE with tomato soup, which he enjoyed. My mom switched to the same Baja Turkey Burger I had but with tomato soup on the side. The biggest problem overall was the kitchen consistency. My mom's turkey burger was only halfway cooked, and both original meals came out cold, which was disappointing. Another issue was the environment that day, it was extremely hot inside, especially with the heavy crowd, because the A/C wasn't working. I really hope they got that fixed in time for the hotter weather because it made dining uncomfortable. One thing to be aware of: they offer coffee, but don't really mention that it's an extra $4 charge, so just keep that in mind. The service and management were great, the food consistency and environment missed the mark during this visit. I honestly think going to the Capital Boulevard location may have been the better option.

We got the Thai curry crepe with chicken, cordon bleu crepe and a side poutine. The Thai curry crepe was the star of the meal, so flavorful chicken cooked perfectly with the crispy wontons chips for the perfect crunch. The poutine also was yum super crispy potatoes with ample gravy and cheese for each bite! Was wondering how the cordon bleu would be served, it's a whole deep fried crepe which was a tad bit salty just like the server said it would be idk why they wouldn't fix it if she was aware of it too, it felt a little dry but she did bring us extra Alfredo sauce for it when we mentioned it. Loved the vibe of the place, there's ample seating options, dining area/ bar/ as well as outdoor. While there is limited parking we found a spot since it was a weekday afternoon. Def will be back to try their drinks menu and brunch items.

We were seated fairly quickly and then had 4-5 servers ignore us for about 10-15 minutes until I finally had to flag someone down. She was very nice, but the fact that we had to flag someone down did not make them more attentive to our needs. It took another 25 (!) minutes for me to get my (average) latte. And then at least 60 minutes for us to get our food. We watched as food sat on the counter for so long, all servers ignoring it. I wanted to hop up and start delivering it to whichever tables were waiting for it! Food was fine but my teens were starting to get genuinely lightheaded waiting for over an hour. Absolutely bananas.

At 4:00 on a Saturday when they opened, we grabbed a couple bar seats and had terrific service. I enjoyed a nice Italian Pinot Grigio along with the roasted chicken, while Husband had the chopped steak meal. Simple comforting cooking. I did question the pink of the chicken and was told it was because it was rotisserie. Also it was served plain but when I inquired was brought some gravy which was exactly what the meal needed. Best parts were the fantastic rolls and butter and the super tasty key lime pie we shared. Perfection!
