    The Works Omelet with cheese grits
    Ja'Nita D.

    We were greeted immediately and added to a 20 minute wait list. We were called within 15 minutes. Our server came over within 5 minutes of us after we looked at the menu. Drinks and million dollar bacon was ordered in which we thought we would get our bacon before our meal. Needless to say, the bacon came out with our meal. The Tangerine dream tasted as expected. The million dollar bacon was not crispy but was full of flavor. Our omelets were full of bacon, ham, tomatoes, crispy onions, and cold mushrooms. We had to add salt and pepper to our omelets for better tasting. The server assumed I did not want my potatoes, so I asked her for them. Alina was our server and she was not as attentive as I would've liked. We did notice her attentiveness to 3 other tables. The atmosphere is not too noisy and the seating is comfortable. We tried it and needless to say we will not be returning because of lack of flavor.

    Visiting my sister and BIL we usually end up at this First Watch. This place is ALWAYS packed. Today was no different. Calling ahead we reserved a table for 4. We are always ofdered a booth or table, we choose booth, comfortable for our tall hubby's. We were welcomed with a Good Morning and after just a short wait we were seated. Our waitress chatted about the the drink specials of the day and food offerings. Sis and I ordered our usual Bloody Mary's. Served with just enough ice,spice and Titos. We chomped on the Million dollar bacon first. Our orders were taken appetizers came out first, shortly after our hot entrées. My brisket tacos were full of flavor filled by fresh cut fruit. Chunks of cantaloupe, honey dew pineapples and blueberries. Light flavorful and filling. My family enjoyed their basic breakfast also. This First watch is my favorite.

    The pickup for this location continues to disappoint & it stems from the kitchen..the last couple times i've ordered a meal they either missed an item, or added an item that has gone bad. I constantly get bad old avocado on my meals ending up scraping it off before I can enjoy my meal.

    Ham and Gruyère breakfasts and.

    Online ordering was delayed. 20 ish minutes late. It wasn't easy to get info while standing there waiting. My sand below poorly made. Potatoes some done some very raw ish. My 7 dollar bacon wasn't fully cooked. Very very busy. So clearly popular. Lots of staff seemed not to know what to do. Saw three different servers take three different items at different times to same table. For 40 bucks at least I have a fully prepared sandwich. Fully cooked bacon and potatoes. So damn disappointed!!!!

    French toast
    Dakiesh C.

    always a pleasure eating at First Watch. This was my first time at this location. They have a huge parking lot so easy access with parking. I had the Iced coffee and french toast keeping it light. Their french toast is made with love on brioche bread slightly toasted with the perfect crisp. The iced coffee tasted like it had rum in it lol(no i did not get tipsy) I forgot the exact name for it but it had chocolate chunks and chocolate syrup with a caramel twist . I enjoyed every bit.

    Shrimp and grits no sausage no meat
    Aurora H.

    Depending on the special items on their menu, depends on how good the food is to me. The staff is always friendly and when they have shrimp and grits on the menu, that's my go to. They were even able to do the shrimp and grits for me without the sausage and without the chicken gravy, which I was very happy about.The drink that I got was the lavender lemonade and it was delicious. They do have a few alcoholic beverages that you can choose from. It's a great place for a family outing, a date or even if you're going by yourself!

    Great service, great food, great environment!!! Ordered the Farmhouse Hash with a cranberry juice

    Burned bacon inside

    We tried placing an online order and on the app. It would take it and says that ASAP was not available. When I tried pick up it said it would not take the payment. I called and asked if there was a problem with the App and put on hold. Then I waited for almost 10 minutes then called back. The manager was nice and said it would have to go to corporate. He took an order over the phone. When I arrived there was a girl in a stool that didn't engage. I still had to pay and my food was sitting there. I finally got her attention. My waffle was well overdone and the bacon omelette was burnt. The bacon in it was burnt and hard as a rock. I usually love this restaurant but today it was disgusting.

    Ordered tri-fecta for spouse and eggs Benedict BLT for me. The tri-fecta is two eggs with Belgian waffle or pancake. Spouse got the pancake with blueberries, And bacon. The drink I had was delicious. Spouse got large orange juice . This breakfast was delicious. The bacon was super yummy. And the eggs on the Benedict was both perfectly prepared. I have had eggs Benedict at other places where one egg is overcooked here they were both perfectly cooked. I asked for the potatoes with the eggs. The potatoes were perfect. I did have to take some home

    1/2 pumpkin soup and Hal's kale salad with chicken pieces. Very tasty. My drone has the breakfast hash
    Julie T.

    The restaurant was nice and clean, always a lot of people but that says how popular this restaurant is and it is a good choice for brunch. The parking is a little difficult though. They juice every day, so the juices are fresh. The food is lovely and fresh also. Highly recommend and this is the third location I've been to.

    Arrived with no wait. Service was just okay. I think she may have been overwhelmed a little. We had to keep flagging down drink refills and we had to borrow the neighbors syrup since we didn't get one. Thankfully it was still warm. We enjoyed our breakfast with the exception of the cornbread. That was a miss. To highlight the whole experience another family blessed our family and paid for our entire meal. So cool! So we paid it forward and left a nice tip to the server! We'll be back! Check them out.

    Eggs Benedict and greens with lemon
    Donna C.

    I was there September 3, 2024. I was disappointed in the service. I ordered and noticed I did not have any silverware on the table. I ordered a small soda. I didn't realize a small was the same price as any other size and I was not offered a refill. My Eggs Benedict was good but I just looked at the Health Department rating and they just received 94 out of a 100 on their last rating and 2 were critical. I had to ask for extra napkins. The ambiance is very loud because of the poor acoustics. I feel like they could do better for the price.

And I'm…read moresaying this as someone who grew up on Turkish coffee in Palestine and Jordan, and searched for the real thing across countless cafes in the States. The search is over. The coffee here isn't just good -- it's correct. The grind, the heat, the cardamom -- everything is dialed in with the kind of care you only get from people carrying a tradition, not following a recipe. The basbusa is outstanding -- house-made, fresh, with that perfect syrup-to-semolina balance so many places get wrong. Best I've had in years. Can't wait to try their kunafa next. What really sets Fairuz apart is the atmosphere. This is a family-owned spot and you feel it the second you walk in. The hospitality is genuine -- that "sit down, you're home now" energy you can't manufacture. If you're Middle Eastern and homesick, come here. If you've never had real Turkish coffee, come here. If you just want somewhere that feels human and unhurried -- come here. Fairuz didn't just meet my standards. It raised them.

Husband got a double espresso and I ordered an Americano. His was in a cute cup, but mine was in a to-go cup with a lid. Since we were sitting in, I would have preferred a nice mug. We ordered a few pastries to bring home. I presume it was the owner working and he was very welcoming. He was cleaning the entire time (9am ish). On the positive, the place looks spotless. I did feel it was a little odd to mop while open and in the morning. The chocolate pastry in this picture was 10/10 for me, so good! It had so much flavor and texture with chocolate, pistachio and maybe some caramel. Would definitely go back, particularly to get items to take home.

I ordered a chai latte with almond milk, the total was about eight dollars, which I find to be more expensive than other cafés. The chai latte lacked flavor, with no strong notes of black tea or cinnamon to indicate that it is a chai drink. Honestly, to me, it tasted like hot diluted milk. I took about 3/4 sips before I poured the whole thing down the drain at home. It actually was just bad. Really, I should've asked the barista for another drink as this one was not up to standard.

The smash burger with pickled onions was actually very good--greasy in a good way and full of flavor. However, the fries were undercooked and fell flat. What really ruined the experience was the service. Our server was extremely rude and completely disengaged. When we asked about the beers, she just pointed out there was a QR code on the menu and left it at that--no help, no suggestions. We asked about non-alcoholic beer options and got a blunt "no," with zero effort to offer alternatives. When she came to take our order, she just stood there without greeting us or saying anything, which was awkward and unprofessional. Throughout the entire visit, she never checked on us once. It's frustrating because the food had potential, but the service completely killed the experience. Definitely not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to.
