    Crab-ocado scramble (to go)
    maria h.

    Not in this pic but their blueberry toasted biscuits are AMAZING! This is e breakfast establishment so they close at 2pm. Definitely recommend this place, however, I was NOT a fan of their collard greens. Too much of a sweet factor.

    The Founders Special - corned beef hash, eggs, toast and hash browns. Yum!
    Rob H.

    As a first timer, I didn't know what to expect beyond the recommendations from my friends. Now, I say go - Eggs Up Grill is a good spot. We stopped in for brunch about 45 min before their 2:00 pm close, but the waitress quickly set us at ease; no rush. I had the "Founder's Special", corned beef hash, 2 eggs, grits or hash browns, and toast. It was so good I forgot to snap a pic before I started eating. Everything was done right, the toast was brown and crunchy, the hash browns crispy with soft insides, eggs just as I ordered, and the best corned beef hash I'd had in years. My wife went with lunch, ordering a turkey avocado BLT. It was so hefty that she took half home. Like my breakfast, her sandwich was just right - fresh and delicious. The Eggs Up Grill isn't pretentious. There are seats at the counter, and a good sized dining area with booths and tables. Clean and simple. It's not loud, so it was easy to enjoy our brunch time conversation. Our waitress was gracious and efficient, juggling us with several other tables without ever making it seem like anything but her pleasure that we were there. She was there when we needed her, and knew to leave us alone otherwise. I found out that The Founders started in 1939 in RI, and the modern Eggs Up Grill franchise started on Pawley's Island in 1997 by the Founders progeny. Maybe that's why the vibe is so relaxing: these Eggs Up Grill folks know what they're doing. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.

    Red White and Bacon Pancakes

    When we first moved to Summerville 4 years ago, the Eggs Up Grill in Knightsville was awesome! But over the years, it has changed quite a bit. At first, you started making things more Mexican like, which ruined it. Now today, it's more like cafeteria food. This morning we ordered the red white and blue waffle and the shrimp and grits bowl and both of them were cold and not made well. The bananas were spoiling and you had to use syrup with the waffle just to be able to eat it. The grits were a hard solid mash with no separation of flavors. And the garlic toast was soggy and not like the way you used to make them with grill marks on one side and uncooked on the other. The magic was gone as it quite frankly tasted like slop today. We hope one day you will get back to your old style, which was cooking as a southern culinary work of art. Until then, I think we'll just look for a different place to eat.

    The classic breakfast place. My husband and I love this place especially because of their service. They are very nice to our child and greet us with smile on their faces everytime. The time it takes for your food to come depends on how many people they have inside. This place can get busy which we understand. Food always come out steaming hot. The eggs are always fresh. My husband's bacon are always crispy. The food was nothing special which is true. You can make them at home but to be made how you want it to is what makes it special. Coming inside smelling all the breaskfast item they are cooking makes you tell yourself, yep it's morning. It puts you on a good mood. I love their price as well, it wasn't bad at all.

    The Veggie Omelet with home fries!

    This is our 3rd visit to Eggs Up Grill and it has always been a good breakfast experience! The food is always fresh. They have exceptional service, great atmosphere, EXCELLENT breakfast and the friendliness staff. We always look forward to coming back! Thank you Eggs Up Grill!

    Philly Cheese Steak Benedict
    Ross K.

    If you need a quick place for breakfast and have medium expectations- this is your place. The service was good and the table was only mildly sticky. We ordered waters and I ordered a coffee (which never arrived but I imagine to be good). The Philly cheesesteak Benedict was actually really good- I recommend it. The avocado toast was certainly something to write home about, but not in the way you think. It's a slice of mildly toasted bread with avocado spread and grocery store salsa thrown on top. If you're into avocado toast, this isn't the dish for you. We'll return and order better next time.

I ordered The Vicious, and honestly, every single part of it was excellent.

It's clear they know how to do Southern biscuit creations right - generous portions, fresh ingredients, and bold flavors. The service was quick and friendly too. If you're craving an over-the-top biscuit sandwich, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend!

I arrived early and from the looks of it, that was a good thing. They had line ropes leading to the cashier which was an indicator of a rush that will come later. The cashier was very friendly, and made recommendations. I nearly lost all sense of time and place when I saw PIMENTO cheese grits. Whaaaaaat? Got those. Then I got a jalapeño, egg and cheese biscuit. They have self serve coffee, a "jam and butter bar" and super cool logo. I suggest you RUN (because you will need to burn off the calories) and not walk! All in with 20% tip because restaurant worker got eat too, $23. Ok, some personal perspectives on the food. The jalapeño biscuit was made with fresh jalapeños, a twist from the usual. The sausage,and egg were cooked to perfection and thick. The grits were smooth and melty. If you never had grits, this a good start, but there are many varieties, colors, and ways to prepare. In the low country you have to try them at several places to find you favorite. A little like Goldilocks and for many southerners a matter of personal taste. Finally, the people were consummate southern hospitality! Friendly helpful and great to talk too, God bless them, I was dining alone. To be honest, the food delivered but the people were worth extra stars.

    If you're looking for the gold standard of brunch in Summerville, look no further than First Watch…read moreon North Main Street. This isn't just your typical "eggs and toast" diner; it's a full-on culinary experience that manages to feel both incredibly healthy and deeply indulgent at the exact same time. From the second you walk through the door, you're hit with the "Sun-Up" vibe--it's bright, airy, and smells like fresh-squeezed citrus and high-end coffee. We were greeted by a host who gave us a realistic wait time, but here is a pro tip: use their app to join the waitlist before you even leave your house. We did that and were whisked to a booth within five minutes of arriving. The Appetizer You Can't Skip We started with the Million Dollar Bacon, and let me tell you, the name is an understatement. It's four slices of hardwood smoked bacon baked with a brown sugar and black pepper crust, finished with a maple syrup drizzle. The way the cayenne pepper provides a tiny kick at the end to balance the sweetness is genius. It is thick, crispy, and honestly, I would come back just for a plate of that. The Main Event For the mains, our table tried a variety of dishes to see if the kitchen could handle the rush: Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: These are probably the fluffiest pancakes I've ever had. The ricotta adds a creamy richness without making them heavy, and the marinated berries on top were burst-in-your-mouth fresh. They didn't even need extra syrup. The Tri-Athlete Omelet: For those trying to stay on track with fitness goals, this is the move. It's an egg white omelet loaded with house-roasted onions, tomatoes, and cremini mushrooms. It felt light but was surprisingly filling. Farmhouse Hash: This is the ultimate comfort bowl. The potatoes were seasoned perfectly (not too salty), and the two over-easy eggs on top created a rich sauce that tied the whole thing together. The Juice Bar & Coffee You cannot visit First Watch without hitting the juice bar. We tried the Purple Haze--it's visually stunning with the butterfly pea flower, and the lemon/cane sugar combo is incredibly refreshing. Also, their Project Sunrise Coffee is some of the best "restaurant coffee" I've ever tasted. Knowing it supports female farmers in Colombia makes that second (and third) refill taste even better. Service & Atmosphere Despite the place being packed, the service was seamless. Our server, Justin, was a machine--he anticipated our refills before we even asked and knew the menu inside and out, even suggesting a side of the "Greens dressed with lemon" which was a perfect palate cleanser. The atmosphere is energetic but not so loud that you can't have a conversation. Whether you're a local or just passing through the 29483 area, this First Watch location is firing on all cylinders. It's clean, the ingredients are top-tier, and the menu is creative enough to keep you coming back week after week.

Nope, about 4oz of berries and coffee with honey, creamer, turmeric, cinnamon and cayenne for me. Please note my listed concoction is extremely beneficial to the body, containing anti-inflammatory and antioxidants. Ok back to the point, I had the opportunity to meet a friend from church for lunch and I figured since I've never been to a First Watch in my life, to give it a try. The ride over at 11:15 on a Tuesday morning was easy, light on traffic with ample parking in a very safe section of town. I beat my comrade, for my Russian friends, to the restaurant as he was lagging a bit so the courteous wait staff promptly seated me. To be honest the franchise appears to have a forced hommy look to it. As if they're trying to be something you'd find on a winding country road where only the locals know about. To be honest, the ambiance is the lowest on my checklist, so depending on your perspective, that's a good thing. My hostess/waitress was asking me about my beverage before I was seated! I like this commitment to service. She even got me honey for my sweetener as I requested. Slow... slow golf clap from the audience. As I confessed before, I'm not a big breakfast person but I try to eat reasonable 90% of the time to stay "fit as a fiddle" (I'm curious where that analogy came from). While I could have enjoyed a great number of items, I opted for 1 Belgian waffle and 2 over easy eggs to go with my coffee. My skinny friend (grumble) got the Tri Fecta b/c.... well he's skinny! But as I recall it was about the same as my dish but with bacon. First off, my eggs were perfectly over easy - cooked 65% on one side the rest on the other with a very runny yolk, tasty! Now for the waffle, can we say "false advertising on 3?" Belgian waffles are thicker, have a "yiester" batter and pearl sugar. Plus, the "syrup traps" (all rights to Mitch Hedberg) are deeper while it has a crispier exterior and fluffier interior. In other words what I got was a deflated, defeated and structurally defunct piece of want to be abstract art, only something that a painter like Mark Rothko could appreciate (look him up). It was tasty but when I love waffles and have refrained for literal years I had my hopes set way to high. Anyways it was an average experience with only one syrup option! Oh I apologize for the pic, I was hungry and forgot to snap one before I destroyed it with my pitchfork. Overall, I don't want to nitpick too much but give constructive advice. So, the great -bacon, eggs, coffee, customer service, noise level and comfort. The average or slightly below average - the waffle (mislabeled) and ambiance via drab decor. If I were to come back, which isn't a reflection on the restaurant but my eating habits, I would opt for the eggs benedict as I make them all the time at home since homemade hollandaise sauce is easy and elevates any dish.

Our waiter was very attentive to our large party and food was brought out rather quickly. My biggest complaint was that food. I love eggs Benedict and a crab cake, so I had to make the obvious choice to get the crab cake eggs Benedict. The grits were very smooth and buttery with no lumps! The fried green tomato was fried to perfection but it didn't have much seasoning. It was beneath the crab cake, so maybe that's why it wasn't seasoned well. Also, the toast was really good. Idk what kind of toast you he had on the side but it went well with the jelly! My biggest gripe was the start of the show--the crabcake. It did not taste like a real crab cake AT ALL It tasted like a crab cake from a box with a lot of breading which was disappointing. Also, the breading on the crumb cake made it so crunchy to where I thought I was eating a chicken tender. Also, the sauce on top tasted weird and didn't complement any of the flavors on the plate. Overall, the experience was not bad. The menu is vast so I may be inclined to return to try other options. I just would not try the crabcake again.

When we got down to the last one, we both realized the "odd looking fritter" in the bowl that we were both avoiding, was the jam (oops!). It was a similar color and shape to the fritters but we both just laughed about avoiding it. For my entree, I was sold on the "award-winning" shrimp & grits that were featured on the Today show (as per their menu). Surprising that this meal made it that far as it didn't taste like anything special to me. It was not bad but very basic/plain; so basic that it felt like something was missing. It was the same case with my husband's meatloaf. However, I would still recommend checking this place out and deciding for yourself if you like it here ;)
