    The same tasting hamburgers and fries that I enjoyed from a favorite burger cafe of my youth. Love this place and its simple ambiance.

    I've been to a few First Watch locations in Ohio so when it came to Burlington I decided to go once…read morethe initial crowds died down since I didn't remember the food being that memorable. I went early one Saturday morning before the rush (crowds were appearing by the time we left at 9:30a) and were quickly seated in a booth by the window with lots of natural light. The restaurant was clean and well appointed with modern rustic decor and our waitress was super attentive and friendly. I did a bit of research before ordering to only order the most popular dishes in hope of making some memories this time around. I ordered the morning meditation juice which was a perfect mix of their fresh squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, beet juice, turmeric, ginger and agave nectar. Perfect way to start my morning in the sunlight. For my main breakfast entree I got the lemon ricotta pancakes which came with 2 HUGE pancakes the size of the plate. Even though the lemon curd appeared to be a dollop, it was enough for the whole dish since the lemon was very prominent to the point syrup was not needed. The berries were fresh and the pancakes were cooked to perfection (soft with lightly crispy edges). I also enjoyed a hot cup of table side coffee with my drink. I drink it black so I found the plain coffee to have a nice flavor and wasn't bitter at all. Now the million dollar bacon ehhhh.... I heard someone ask if they were thick, not at all. I found the honey to overpower the other seasonings so it was just basic bacon with honey in my opinion. Not worth the almost $7 price tag or the million in the name. If I am in the mood for a solidly good fresh breakfast in a nice atmosphere I'll be sure to stop by, but I wouldn't wait longer than 15 minutes for it.

    I stopped in for lunch. I ordered the veggie sandwich (grilled mushrooms and onions). My sandwich…read morewas refrigerator cold. Mushrooms were on one half of the sandwich and the onions were on the other half. My first bite of sandwich was strictly onions (yum onion sandwich). The pesto was a single blob in the center. This sandwich was obviously prepared by someone who does not care about what they shove out of the kitchen. I enjoy First Watch food. The Greensboro and Raliegh locations have never been a disappointment. I will never go back to the Burlington location. This is sad because I live in Burlington.

    This is the first time I've been here and I love this place. I was running errands getting ready…read morefor our granddaughter's birthday so I needed to come here and go to the oven by Lyn (see my review). I stopped here because I was hungry and wanted to take a break from all the running around. Plus I could have a cheeseburger and a beer, but of course that had nothing to do with it. There were two gentlemen working at the time both very polite. Asked if I could have chili on a double cheeseburger and I was told I absolutely could and asked what else I wanted. So I got my cheeseburger with fries and a beer. I was the only person in there but it was also a weekday in the middle of the day. They brought my food to me and I got to sit down and enjoy it while watching the Addams family on television. It was pretty relaxing actually. The place is spotless, brightly lit, and the tables have lots of space between them which is really nice. The classic TV was also nice. I'm really glad they didn't have news or sports on. Lurch and Thing are a lot more entertaining. Anytime I'm in this area I'm going to look for a reason to stop here. I highly recommend this place.

    The food was hot, right off the grill. The SmashBurgers were juicy and seasoned well. The waitress…read morewas attentive and always smiled.
