    Great farm house salad when it is available. Love their soups. BLT with Turkey is my favorite…read more Pastries are good Coffee is good. I do like the hamburgers. At dinner, the salmon is great

    Food: 4.5 Location: 5…read moreInside/seating :5 Service: 5 Overall value: 4 My spouse and I came here for lunch as we were in the area, and it was recommended. I had the BLTA sandwich with french fries and Dijonaise on the side and my spouse had the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito with home fries. We also each got different sodas from the cooler area. The total for two lunch entrées and two canned sodas was about $40. I feel like this is pretty high relatively speaking for a sandwich and fries, and a breakfast burrito and home fries + two canned sodas, which is why I gave the overall value a four. However, the breakfast burrito, home fries, and regular fries were AMAZING. Probably one of the best breakfast burritos I have had in a really long time, and the home fries were crispy and well seasoned. The sandwich I had was pretty good, but nothing super special, and definitely not worth $16. I didn't particularly care for the Dijonnais, but that's just personal preference and glad I had it on the side. The restaurant itself has ample parking and is easy to find. It has a lot of seating, as well as lounge type seating for the breakfast/café crew and people who might be coming to do a little bit of work. You order at the front and they give you a number and bring the food out to your table. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and kind. The restaurant itself was clean. Overall, I would probably give this somewhere between a four and a five, but I do really love to support Local and I could tell this place probably makes a banging coffee drink and had delicious looking desserts, so I went with a 5. Unfortunately, we live between 35 and 40 minutes away, so we likely won't return, but if we find ourselves in that area of Chapel Hill, I would consider stopping in for another breakfast burrito!

    First Watch is like a better version of I Hop or Denny's! I love how homey it felt dining there for…read morebrunch and I really wished I got the name of the waitress helping out my family and I. She helped us check if we could have my nephew's plate modified and make a non-vegetarian side into a vegetarian one for my cousin. I thought that was very sweet! The ol' traditional waffle, eggs, and sausage was a perfect way to start my day, and I really liked how crispy the waffle was! The berry jam or compote was a nice addition to eat my waffle with, on top of their warm syrup. My cousin got the avocado toast, while my niece got her grilled cheese and apple juice, and my nephew got his ginormous chocolate chip pancake!!! He was super happy with the pancake, while my niece wasn't used to the crispness and grilled cheese being melted and toasted so fancily. I guess kids just prefer the Krafts sliced grilled cheese sandwich. She was pretty content with her Apple juice though! Parking was a bit difficult, but we got lucky to find two spots right in front of First Watch on a Friday afternoon!

    Very disappointing experience…read more We arrived around 9:30am on a Saturday. The restaurant was around 25% capacity, so it wasn't busy by any means. It took ten minutes for our server to come back with an iced coffee, and we had been sitting there for twenty minutes before she took our order. A little odd, especially for a restaurant that really wasn't that busy, but whatever. The eggs Benedicts (we got the same thing) arrived cold, unseasoned, and improperly cooked. Not only were both of our eggs broken, the yolk and hollandaise sauce leaked all over my plate and soaked the mixed greens. My boyfriend didn't even get dressing for his mixed greens, he was served straight up raw arugula. For some reason the "chef" and server thought this was ok to give to a customer. Not to mention it took about 45 minutes from the time we ordered for our food to get to us. I didn't say anything because I hate sending food back and looking like a Karen but this was such a disappointing experience. Our server was nice but she was clearly very frazzled and inattentive. The host also cut me off when we were leaving, literally turned around to look at me afterwards, didn't apologize, and then stared at us without saying a word when we left. Very odd behavior. We had planned to try the French toast after hearing wonderful things about it but I'm afraid we won't be coming back.
