"Made it on a Sunday and was pleasantly surprised with a minimal wait. Went with my wife, son and daughter in law! Two of us got the Maple Bacon Croissant breakfast sandwich and two of us got the Seasonal Pumpkin pancakes and all of it was prepared wonderfully. The Sandwich was made with the Million Dollar Bacon and was packed with flavor. Highly recommend!"

"This ain't Dennny's! A pancake with ricotta cheese on it with lemon curd and fresh strawberries, OH my! Watch out taste buds. And they bring you a bottle of HOT maple syrup. But don't even think of putting any syrup on it, as it ruins the flavor that exploded in your mouth on the first bite. I think maybe that's another reason why it's called First Watch. Watch your first bite before adding any condiments.They are known for their million dollar bacon which I should have tried. The regular bacon is still a nice smoked bacon. The other dish I tried was a Eggs Benedict with Salmon. It was done on a Cibatta roll with a slice of tomato, cheese, over medium eggs. Topped with hollandaise sauce and red onions. I'm picky when it comes to this dish, so I ( with prejudice) took away a star on the food. What would I do different? Glad you asked... a smoked salmon (Lox), more sauce, caramelized the onions (their raw strength was overwhelming). Atmosphere... it was a busy. Lots of table chatter about deliciousness of the food between bites. V.S. a Dennny's and talk about the weather. Lots to explore on the menu. I'll be back!"

"Serving a large group with children during Sunday brunch is not for the faint of heart. Big thank you to our server, Mike, who was patient and kind amid the chaos. The food was delicious, and we left with a great impression of this place. There's a normal menu and a separate, seasonal, one. This is a picture of the chimmichuri hash (seasonal), which was unique and tasty! The pancakes were great, too. Definitely a good place to try something new or an old favorite!"
