We ordered the Chicago Dog, the Reuben Sandwich, and finished things off with a cannolo (yes, the singular form of cannoli). The Chicago Dog was delicious and loaded with flavor, although I have to admit the toxic-green relish initially threw me off a bit (see pic). Once I got past the visual shock, it was actually a fantastic hot dog that stayed true to its Chicago roots. The real star, though, was the Reuben Sandwich. At around $15, it was absolutely worth every penny. Generously stacked, perfectly toasted, and packed with tender meat, melty Swiss, tangy sauerkraut, and just the right amount of dressing. The cannolo was the perfect sweet ending to the meal -- crisp shell, creamy filling, and not overly sweet. What really stood out was how friendly everyone was. The staff made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I'll definitely be back... especially for those Thursday $5 draft beer specials. Apex locals, you've got a gem here.

The beautiful lady that works there gave me their 2 menu's, the regular menu and the spring menu. They have so many options, from Crepes, to Paninis, to breakfast to lunch to dessert. I sat at a table for a few minutes to browse them. I decided on a hot Hazelnut Brown Sugar Latte and a slice of Banana Bread. Both sooo good!! My first sip of my latte and I was so happy. It's super cute inside of Milo's Cafe. Plenty of seating inside and outside on the patio. Even the ladies room is super cute. I'll definitely be back.

I've tried many items and the Ube Latte, salmon Focaccia, the Caesar Chicken Wrap are some of my faves. For the price you get a lot, the food is very filling!

Clean, good amount of seating and some couch areas too! The staff is very friendly and the service is great. I always look forward to coming in, def check it out.

It wasn't too busy at ~10:30 AM but judging from the number of people walking around, I'm sure it gets way busier at peak hours. Anyway, I ordered the steak salad for myself and it arrived promptly. It was really, really good! Steak was maybe not medium rare as requested, but it tasted great, and all of the components of the salad really worked together. The beer menu had good variety but it was a little early for me so I took a pass on that :) The server was attentive throughout my meal and did an excellent job. Overall, I really enjoyed Scratch and would definitely come back!

A bit of a Father's Day debacle. Strike three first watch I'm sorry to say…read more... I'm not saying I'll never go back to First Watch, but I have not had, what I would consider, a good experience the three times I've been at a First Watch. I'm giving a fair baseline and review the food, service, and atmosphere based on my thought process and what people can expect. Brief overview: my wife arranged for 11 of my family members to have breakfast at First Watch for Fathers Day. She called the day before to get on the call ahead list because we met the minimum party size. She was told on the phone, it would be probably a 20 minute wait as it's not a guaranteed reservation time. This is industry standard and if managed correctly would've been the expectation. When we showed up at 10 with all 11 members, we were told we were number seven on the list and that there were at least 5 to 7 other parties. The issue with this, is the staff was not pulling tables together to get us a place in front of normal walk in parties. This is what I was told. I'm not sure how correct it is. We ended up waiting over an hour for our table, which could have been cut in half. They had a "manager in training" managing the front of the house on a busy holiday. This poor guy was working as hard as he could. One of the more experienced waitresses stepped up and helped as the host list was out of control. . I have to say, I appreciate the waitress, stepping up and pushing enough tables together to accommodate probably nine people, and we stuffed the other two into the table which was fine with us, I happily took my corner. Now let's talk about the good stuff... In the three times I've been to first watch. The food has been absolutely fantastic...and this was no different. I went to the light menu and had their Power Wrap which was basically egg whites, meat of preference and some fantastic cheese, which I forgot what it was actually. It was 500 cal of pure eating pleasure and I would go back to eat it again...if I could eat outside where it's quiet...we'll get into that later. I have to say when I saw " million dollar breakfast sandwich" special for $14, which ended up being an English muffin with eggs and meat and cheese, I was a bit skeptical. It was absolutely fantastic, not enough to feed me in the morning, but I have to say I'd pay the money for it because the taste and the quality of the eggs, bacon, cheese and sauces it was absolutely fantastic. I'm glad my wife only ate half of hers. :) There was so much food on the table. I couldn't keep up with everything but everybody agreed their food was outstanding. I don't think you can go there and get a bad meal. Service: I feel so sorry for the people that were serving the front of the house that day. They were set up by their management for lots of failure and angry people. They did a great job staying happy and positive and doing the best they could, even though I knew they were greeting their teeth with every word. We left a pretty good tip for them and I hope the house doesn't get any of it because they did not earn it. What really impressed me is I saw the wait staff actually helping each other out best they could... attending to tables when they were falling short. The management should recognize them for this, that they picked up their management shortcomings. I'm being pretty hard on the management just because I know it was a holiday and I know there was a large crowd there, but they managed it like any other day. It was pretty obvious we saw at least a dozen people leave during the time we were standing there. This was a poorly managed day at best and a completely unexpected surprise to the staff managing the front of the house. The Kitchen: I was so impressed that we got our food within 10 minutes of ordering it, the back of the house should be recognized as well. They somehow kept up with a massive crowd that was there. Ambience: three out of three on this one it's too freaking loud. All 11 of us agreed on this. I could not have a conversation with the people sitting next to me because of the sound. This is consistent at every First Watch. I'm guessing if you're sitting in a booth along the wall that might help. I will give them a little break on this because it is breakfast. There's a lot of plates clanking and there are a lot of people there, but I'm just calling out the ambience with the data not emotion. You just really couldn't keep a conversation going. It's too loud. All in all, I may give them another chance when it's just me and my wife, but I would not recommend taking a large crowd there ever and I would not do it on a holiday. The food was absolutely spot on and fantastic. The wait staff in the kitchen were all over it, again accommodating them for making up the shortcomings of management and doing a great job to keep people as happy as possible.

It said they came with three different sauces, but mine only had the red sauce. My daughter got the chimichanga. I tasted that and it was very good. As my grandkids loved this place I'm sure we'll go again. I'll have to order something different and see if I can raise my review.
