First Watch is a brunch chain known for their diverse menu, and this location is in Sterling…read more There's plenty of free parking in the lots around the restaurant. It was unusually busy for a Monday morning, but the ambiance here can be described as casual and clean. It's great for a family outing, hanging out with groups of 2-4 people or a relaxed date. The service here is also fantastic! Our waitress checked in on us a few times and the food didn't take that long to come out. My broccoli and cheddar soup was seasoned well and came with crackers. Also, my Monterrey Club was filled nicely. There was a good ratio of turkey to bacon to greens to bread to tomato and avocado. I do wish there was a more flavorful chipotle sauce or something on it However, the you pick 2 was priced well for the amount of food. It was the perfect amount to fill me up. I'd come here if you're looking for a place to eat brunch for sure. I've been to other First Watches and this one is comparable!

Add a bottomless mug of black coffee, and it hit the spot! If you're looking for a good breakfast in Sterling, First Watch is worth a visit!

So, there was quite a lively and noisy scene happening. Stutters has TVs facing where I was sitting at the bar. I didn't know that they switched to drastically slashed menu. I am a vegetarian but, after so long, but I'm very good about finding something where I'm eating. Except here. The quality of service is really what I remember. The young bartender serving was quick to provide me with menus and water. She returned and took my drink order. Then nothing. She had moved to a couple of regularly who had just sat down at the bar. I ended up being rescued by a (maybe?) manager who brought my drink and took my food order. The menu was made up of solely appetizer. What I ate was good.

Always good to find a place that serves breakfast all day and has traditional comfort foods. Yes, the portions are large, but the prices are high. The seats are hard; having some cushions would improve the comfort level a lot. After 90 minutes, I just could not sit anymore. The service was just OK. After taking our order, the waiter just disappeared. I was finally able to flag him down to pay the bill. From this experience, no need to rush back. It is just borderline acceptable.

We found ourselves in Leesburg on a Wednesday morning and decided to stop by Leesburg Diner for…read morebreakfast. It wasn't busy, so we were seated immediately, and the service was friendly, attentive, and never overbearing--thanks Mike! The interior feels like a cross between an old country store and a classic small-town diner. There's a counter with stools, booths lining the opposite wall, and additional tables toward the back. The building definitely shows its age--which makes sense given its location in historic Leesburg. The men's restroom is tiny, and the dining room was a little chilly (something a few other Yelpers have mentioned), but with the humidity outside, it wasn't a dealbreaker. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We ordered an Americano, a waffle with scrambled eggs, and the country fried steak with sunny-side-up eggs and hash browns. Everything was delicious. The Americano, made with locally roasted Cafe Kindred coffee, was excellent--good enough that I may have to stop by their Falls Church location and pick up a bag of beans. The country fried steak was generously smothered in gravy, with plenty left over for the crispy hash browns. My eggs were just a touch more cooked than I prefer, but they were still runny enough to mix into the hash browns. My wife's waffle was enormous, and she enjoyed every bite. The portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable, and the overall value is hard to beat. After reading some previous reviews, I'm glad we visited during a quieter time. Between the comforting food, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service, Leesburg Diner delivered exactly what you hope for from a hometown diner. We'd gladly stop in again the next time we're in Leesburg.

This was our first visit and we had heard good things about this diner. What a complete…read moredisappointment. The star earned was for the average service. The server was nice he deserves acknowledgment. The food however was zero stars. The restaurant was not too crowded, and we were seated right away. The ambient temperature was uncomfortably cold for the entire time we were there. Even the tables around us were saying the same thing. I ordered the classic American breakfast with soft scrambled eggs, sausage and a cheddar biscuit. I wanted hash browns but they were out (at 9:15 on a Sunday morning?!) so I settled for the breakfast potatoes. My companion ordered a side of medium poached eggs and a Belgian waffle. The food came out in a timely manner. Everything on my plate was n completely overcooked. The soft scrambled eggs were dry, rubbery and brown on the outside, the potatoes were VERY brown and burnt looking and the sausage was dry and overcooked. I was so excited to try the biscuit but when I picked it up it literally crumbled like sand in my hand. It was a dark orange and clearly overcooked. The waffle was not even slightly warm. However the poached eggs were warm and cooked perfectly. That was the only thing cooked correctly in our entire order. We flagged down our server and he even said how overcooked it was. He returned everything except the poached eggs to have it remade. When we got the 2nd attempt it was not much better at all. I still had brown on the exterior of the eggs, the potatoes were about 25% less burnt looking and I got an English muffin instead of a biscuit because apparently they were all overcooked. The sausage looked better but was like eating rubber. The waffle was warm but doughy on the inside. We did finish the waffle and poached eggs and 1/2 of my English muffin but that was about it. Didn't eat the eggs, I only ate 1/2 a sausage because it had such an unpleasant texture to it. We totally struck out. The food was simply not good at all. The service was ok. We don't see ourselves coming back and it was an expensive breakfast given we left hungry. Such a disappointment.

We wanted to try their food ahead of time, so stopped in here this past Sunday for lunch. We were pleased with the aesthetic and that there is open space. We saw a large party sitting by us and everyone seemed comfortable. Our server was so kind and attentive. I didn't get her name, but she was patient and answered a few questions we had about menu items. My fiancé had grilled salmon with broccoli while I had the chicken tortilla soup with a steakhouse wedge salad. I enjoyed both items and we were served complimentary bread. We were pleased with food and service, and are happy to host our rehearsal dinner in August here.

We had an issue with one of our entrees (hidden cilantro) and they remade the entree quickly and didn't blame my friend for not realizing that there was cilantro in the chimichurri sauce. Ambiance (3/5): The restaurant was fine, but half the restaurant was closed due to a tile that fell from the ceiling the night before. They were a bit crammed but still were able to put us in a large booth.

First the waiter forgot my wife's glass of wine for so long the bartender got tired of seeing it sitting there and walked it over herself, apologizing for the delay. We received our food, but the extra bread we'd asked for was "still in the oven", and it was still in the oven after we'd nearly finished and my wife's clams dish had gone cold. The waiter apologized, but then it took him 20 minutes to return with refills so we decided to skip dessert. So then it took another 10 minutes to get my card back once he disappeared with that. This is the third time we've been underwhelmed with slow or disjointed timing. Some meals come out while others at the table have to wait. It's really odd. I don't think we'll give it another go. I prefer supporting local, but not while my meal goes cold waiting for people at the table to receive their meals.
