It's a pleasant spot to have breakfast or lunch, but when my Savoury chicken salad arrived, the…read moresticker attached to a segment of green apple revealed that 1) This was a Granny Smith apple, and 2) The chef had likely neglected to rinse the fruit before cutting it up. I pointed this out to the server, who had forgotten to bring the dressing. She merely smirked and walked away. When she returned with the dressing, I again pointed out the foreign object and also asked her to have the chef remake the salad. She took it away, but her facial expression spelled out a-n-n-o-y-e-d. The replacement salad was similarly thrown together, but thankfully sans sticker. I consumed it, it was actually rather good, and I experienced no ill effects. But I am not comfortable with dining in restaurants where sloppiness in the kitchen goes unchecked.

We headed here as we knew it was a small, local chain and had it on the "list" of places to try. When we walked in, harsh 5000k lighting greeted us. I'm not a fan; it causes "floaties" in my eyes. So frankly, that wasn't great. Briana's - a quick reminder that restaurants should be warm and inviting- using harsh, cold lighting does "not" count and was the reason for the sole demerit. We ordered food - i had a denver omelette with toast and crepes - and it was great, seriously. Service was fairly nice; the waitress was pleasant, the seating was new and very comfy, and except for the lighting? We'd return for sure!

They featured the day I was there cream of broccoli soup served with a warm croissant & premium crackers. The patty melt was perfectly cooked and not a bit greasy. The french fries were hot & crispy and the come slaw added a nice touch to the plate! The Vegetable omelette had all fresh cut veggies and the hash browns were cooked perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. Nothing on the plate had a bit of oil or grease. Pancakes were a nice size and very fluffy. Served with warm syrup. Condiments for everything far exceed other breakfast places. It's clean and laid out very nicely and booths were very comfortable and many could seat 6-8 people easily!

I'm writing to share my recent experience dining, and unfortunately, it was one of the most…read moredisappointing restaurant visits I've had in a long time. First, the food lacked any seasoning -- no salt, no flavor, no care in preparation. The food should at least be properly cooked and seasoned. Secondly, my mother has a caffeine allergy. She politely asked for a to-go coffee cup with hot water and lemon so she wouldn't risk contamination from an unwashed cup that previously held coffee. Instead of accommodating a simple allergy-related request, your staff (with management approval) refused unless she paid for the cup. That level of insensitivity toward an allergy is unacceptable. On top of that, I ordered a cup of hot water with lemon and honey and was charged $3 -- the same as if I had ordered tea, even though I didn't ask for a tea bag. Charging customers full price for a basic cup of hot water and two lemon slices is unreasonable and frankly petty. I could understand a small charge for honey, but $3 is excessive. I obviously asked for the tea bag at this point. It's clear that more effort is being put into pushing sales of alcohol, ice cream, and coffee flights than into serving quality food or listening to patrons' needs. If more attention were given to the basics -- good food and decent managerial service (the server was at minimum okay)-- you wouldn't have to nickel-and-dime customers for hot water or disregard allergy concerns. I will not be returning, and I plan to share this experience publicly so others are aware.

Plenty of booths, 4-top tables and hybrid tables. The hostess sat us at a booth as we requested. A moment later, our server, Makayla was by with coffee. She also left us the carafe and then brought out water and left us a large glass cold bottle of water - their standard practice. We ordered our meal about 5 minutes later. The two of us shared the following: - Farmhouse Hash with 2 Soft Scrambled Eggs - Side of 2 Poached Medium Eggs The meal was served hot and for us, it was the perfect amount of food. While we may not be back this way to visit this location, we can recommend it. And we look forward to our next First Watch visit close to our home in Texas.

Perhaps NYE had the staff tired... I am attempting to give them the benefit of the doubt. My husband loves his coffee in the morning, and for every single refill, he had to get up and ask for it. He got a biscuit, and had to get up to ask for butter. If a place is called "Tasty Biscuit," then they had better be sure to serve Tasty Biscuits! His was stale and just fell apart. I had the Avocado Toast, and both the toast and the avocado were inedible. I felt that they used bread and avocado that they had purchased over a week ago. The prices at Tasty Biscuit are a bit higher than at most diners, so I feel it is entirely fair to receive at least adequate food and service, of which we received neither. I hated leaving this review, but Tasty Biscuit should feel worse with sub-par to awful everything as a start to 2026.
