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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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

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.

Clyde E.

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.

Dolores A.

A real winner! If you're ever traveling through Petersburg this is the spot! Although we waited over 40 minutes for a table, the experience was well worth it. We started off with a turmeric carrot orange coconut water smoothie and his bloody Mary top with $1 million bacon slice. I I enjoyed the pumpkin pancake chicken sausage breakfast which was awesome! My husband had the basic breakfast but it was truly out of this world it included a whole-grain toast and hearty bacon, excellent! We'll be back!

We used Door Dash for this order and have nothing bad to say about our Dasher, Michael. He was spot on and deserved his tip. The praise ends there. First time First Watch customer. I ordered two Cobb Salads for my daughter and I. She lives directly across the street from me so she got her salad as soon as it arrived and happily took it home. Before I could even get my salad ready to eat she said.... Verdict: definitely NOT worth the exorbitant amount of money. Salad very small. Bacon is the only taste. I started eating mine and it was even worse. Nothing but tough arugula lettuce and a few egg slices. No sign of anything else. Bread stick was super salty or garlicky and tossed in the trash. I added my own chicken and dressing... praying for a miracle and ended up offering the bulk of it to my outdoor Choice Trash Can. Never again! May have well have opened my window and thrown two $20 bills into the atmosphere. Feeling nauseous and quite stupid. Maybe their breakfast is good... I won't know because I won't waste my time. Wish I could call Visa and Stop Payment! Please... can we get a decent restaurant in this area! read more

Food is really good breakfast/brunch fare. The issue is that the service simply can't keep up. In the busy times (weekend breakfast/lunch times) the wait times for food are incredible. 30-40 minutes after ordering are common. Just waited 50 minutes for my online to-go order - 30 minutes past the promised time. Oh, and "curbside" means "park in the unmarked spaces by the curb and walk in for your food." read more

Man, we rode around looking at cracker barrel and IHOP packed stating 45 minute wait lists. Saw a new place on Google maps breakfast near me. Had no idea what this place was or that it opened. What a nice surprise it was. The staff was great and had us seated fairly quickly. Smiling and talking while we made our way to the table. Made a few suggestions and they were spot on. They do have the flavored creamers on the table which is a nice touch. I had the waffle special that came with bacon and eggs. The waitress said the potatoes were great so I ordered them as well. My wife had an omlette with healthy options. Let me just stop you and point out the bacon. It was so insanely good. I mean you had to take a second and go wait, is that what bacon is supposed to taste like in a breakfast place. So crispy and the flavor. It left little bacon love on my plate. Damn near ruined my waffle as all I wanted was more bacon. The potatoes were what you should get when ordering fried potatoes for breakfast. Onions and fried just right. The eggs were eggs and cooked to my request. My waffle was fluffy and nice with a nice blueberry topping to the side for me to choose. Reasonable prices and great staff. Found a new breakfast spot. Give them a try its worth it. read more

This First Watch is very busy on the weekends so I recommend reserving via the website/app. The service is good and the food is excellent and consistently good. My only complaint isn't necessarily with this location. It is the fact it is company policy for them to offer you coffee when you sit down as if it is complementary. It is not. You will realize on your bill that you were charged for the coffee that you most likely wouldn't have ordered otherwise. read more

First let me state that I was in the foos service business for 45 years. Went today and had a very bad experience. The place lacks management direction. Plenty of wait staff but ours came to the table to take our order and give check. Didn't ask how our meals were if if we needed anything. My and my wife's meal arrived 5 minutes apart despite the 25 min wait for our food in a not busy restaurant. My breakfast consisted of well overdone eggs that were to be over easy and (I am not exaggerating) burn potatoes. Her combo had cool soup. I am a fan of First Watch but will not be back to this location as this was not the first time we ran into a less than desirable experience read more

After several visits here I can safely say they are consistent. Service is fast and friendly. Clean and nice decor. But the food... the food is what keeps me coming back! This is not your everyday diner food, but yes they do have the usual egg-meat-side breakfast platter. Don't get this! While I'm sure it's delicious, please branch out and try the rest of their awesome, interesting, and unusually paired selections. If you like pancakes, you will die for the lemon ricotta, OMG! The frittatas are amazing, and the roasted potatoes are too. Well, most likely everything is. But I keep going back to the Elevated Egg Sandwich!!! Pepper bacon, runny egg, Gruyère cheese, avocado, and lemony arugula on a toasted brioche bun... oh my! My husband got a similar seasonal one with pastrami and pickled red onions, sounds weird but it was fantastic! Great bloody Mary's, mimosas, weird juice blends, and LOTS of other very cool interesting breakfast and lunch combinations. Yes it's a chain, but don't pass this one by! read more

Excellent breakfast served by an attentive and personable server. My wife and I both ordered egg dishes and they were cooked perfectly. The dining experience was 100% great. Here's why I can't give five stars... it's too expensive. Breakfast is not the marquee meal of the day, so if I spend $40 for a two person breakfast I think it's too expensive. I'm sure we'll eat there again, but next time we WILL make it the marquee meal of the day with an understanding that it will not be a cheap breakfast. read more

Placed a to go earlier today and they assured me it would be 20- no more than 25 minutes. People came and went faster than our order was ready. It took 40 minutes for my order to be ready. I also ordered a side of bacon which they obviously DID NOT forget to charge me $5.29 but guess what NEVER made it in the bag?! Yup, the bacon. I even tipped 25% to ensure that they wouldn't forget anything and so that they would double check to ensure the order was correct, they did not! We will NOT be coming back here!

Their pancakes are huge and so flavorful you won't want syrup. The omelettes are unique and can be customized without any disappointment from the waitress or cook. The broccoli cheddar and tomato basil soup are as good as home made and both sandwiches I tried were oversized and full of flavor.

The house is rich in history making it quite a special place for my husband and I to celebrate a momentous occasion. A drawback was how uncomfortable the seats were. My husband and I are like Vikings, very tall and stocky, so the seats felt too small. The average person will probably have no problem with them. My hubs ordered the seafood platter and was delighted in how delicious it was. I ordered the Black and Bleu Beef Tips with the filet and requested it be cooked medium rare. Unfortunately, it was mostly overcooked and tough. I expected the mushroom sauce to be more substantial and the bleu cheese to be enough to be tasted. I was very disappointed at what was a sprinkling of mushrooms on top and no distinct bleu cheese flavor at all. The twice baked potato was yummy, but I could not eat the asparagus as I found it bitter and undercooked. It made me regret paying the price it cost as I could not even enjoy half the portion. Service was good and yet not. We were served by three different people, including the manager who seemed to give most of her attention to one particular table. When she removed our plates without offering dessert, coffee, or tea it felt we were being hurried along. One older gentleman was very attentive. He made sure we were taken care of and satisfied. I wish I knew his name as I would love to give him all the stars. He was superb and comped us dessert in honor of our special occasion. We chose the tiramisu, and it was very tasty, perfect crispy top with the creamy underside. I do recommend this restaurant as an experience one should seek to enjoy. I believe you will love the historicity of the location, and the service will be a fine dining event. Your food may be hit or miss, depending on what you order, but I think the location itself is worth the risk.

Let's start with the location: very nice and everything seems real clean and cared for. Even the men's room was decent at 6:00 pm at night. Now our server: Sidney was very attentive to us. She took very good care of us during our stay. Now the meal: Again it was good. The wifey had the Blackened Chicken Alfredo. She tells me the sauce had a nice flavor but the chicken really had no flavor. Certainly not a Blackened flavor you would expect. The chicken itself was good and tender. As for me I had Shrimp and Grits. It also was good. It had onions and peppers in it and again the flavor of the onions and peppers just want there. Who knows. We also had the Brick Oven Brie. There was a really nice amount of Brie. So much that the toasted bread ran out way before the Brie. So as I said this was a good place and meal despite my small hits in this review. I firmly recommend this place because I do expect you to have a nice meal. Ps. To the owners: your link to your website doesn't work via Yelp. To potential customers: you will have to go your search engine and find the Charred site.

Several servers came over right away to ask our drink orders and give us menus. My husband ordered the country fried steak with gravy and eggs, and I got the chicken and waffles and a side of grits. Everything was very tasty. This might seem like a small thing, but the iced tea was fresh brewed and very good. I cannot stand iced tea that comes out of a machine or that is powdered. This was clearly fresh and they served it in big mason jars. This is one of my key things with a restaurant. If they don't have freshly brewed tea, I really don't enjoy my meal as much. I was thankful that this place had great tea. The server checked on us throughout the meal. We would definitely go back again.

Mimi ordered the fried pork chop (4.5/5, thin cut but seasoned and fried well)meal with mashed potatoes (2.9/5) and collard greens (a bit dry...leave the "pot liquor" thats where the flavor resides, lol). The family vibes all through out the venue made us feel welcomed and the love shown to the staff by the patrons sealed the deal! If you want a good home cooked meal head over #southerntastediner!

We had our pick of high-tops or traditional seating and chose a booth (the superior choice IMO). The ambiance and atmosphere felt modern and classic with a touch of ostentatious flair (the bird mural and columns up front were gorgeous). I prefer a curated menu and Fall Line keeps it simple. There are options for most people here. We ordered the skillet cornbread to start. C'est magnifique. We ordered from the sharables menu: the barrata, grilled cauliflower, and burnt ends. The barrata was the clear winner, followed by the cornbread. The burnt ends tasted fantastic, yet were too fatty to enjoy fully. Some constructive feedback: The cauliflower was a major disappointment; it needed additional time on the grill and more sauce to boot. I felt the barrata should have included one extra pair of crustinis. The apricot mostarda was divine, though. They don't carry a sour beer, so my partner and I did not partake. All in all, Fall Line Kitchen was a lovely experience, and our server Satya was a pleasure as well. As we exited, the kind host offered to take our picture in front of the light-wrapped columns. What a gentleman. I definitely recommend bringing a date here to enjoy the cozy, intimate setting, as you gaze lovingly into one anothers eyes, take in the exceptional views, and experience all that its surroundings offer.

The food here was really good. My kiddo specifically asked for cheese fries for his birthday lunch,…read moreso after asking for recommendations on Facebook, this place seemed like the best choice. It can get a little pricy, especially when you want to try all of the things, but the portions were plentiful and tasted delicious. We started with the cheese stick roulette, where they apparently prep a bunch of different cheeses for cheese sticks earlier in the week, and then just randomly grab six to deep fry when you order it. You have no idea what it is, they have no idea what it is. Pretty fun and delicious and we love cheese, so total win. We ended up cutting them in half just to check what they were before eating because the kids do not like anything remotely spicy and pepper jack is one of the cheeses, so we just had to verify it wasn't that so they could eat it and hubs and I ate those ones instead. I thought the tomato coulis it was served with was stellar, and the fruity jam was also amazing. I could not decide which one was better for dipping the cheesesticks in, and I ended up keeping both condiments when the cheesesticks were gone so I could dip my fries in them. A fantastic choice, they were both great with the fries. Which I might add, are AWESOME! They are scoopable fries. So... like a cross between potato skins and potato wedges. They were both crispy and soft and very unique and so worth the trip. They also use the cheese dip instead of just shredded cheese, so it stays creamy and gooey. All of the burgers sounded awesome and it took us a very long time to decide what we wanted (I had been looking at the menu days in advance to make sure I could decide) and we opted for the Southern Gentleman (pimento cheese, hot honey and fried chicken) and the PBJ and I can't decide which one I liked more. They were both completely different and completely delicious. If I had to make a recommendation... I'd say bring a friend, order one of each and split them like hubs and I did. Choices are for suckers. Kiddos opted for the cheese fries that he came for (which come with bacon, btw) and the kiddos cheeseburger meal, and they both loved them. The service was great too, even when this place was pretty darn crowded on a weekday lunch hour. Also, don't be fooled by the storefront driving by, this restaurant is waaaaaaaay bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. There was plenty of seating. The music was a touch too loud, but they also had some yummy sounding specialty drinks, as well as a bunch of local beers. My kids have been asking to come back pretty much since we left the restaurant.

She was able to get us our drinks and orders pretty quickly despite working solo. I was the adventurous one in our group and ordered the pb and j cheese burger. Upon initial bite, it really tasted like a really well constructed burger. It was a double patty burger with white cheese. You don't really taste the jam. As you're chewing, the peanut butter comes out and it really makes the bite more creamy and definitely tastes of peanut butter. Overall, I would recommend fat boys for sure. Everyone thought the food tasted great and the portions were big. Definitely worth the trip!

I had asked for dressing while ordering, but I think there was some confusion because another staff member was asking me about my second order at the same time. I must have turned my attention, and the dressing was forgotten. Unfortunately, I can't really enjoy my meal without the dressing, and this location is about 35 minutes away from me, so I wasn't able to go back. I was pretty upset at first, but I understand that mistakes can happen. I called the store, and I spoke with a manager named George. He was very kind and professional. He apologized and said he would address it with his team to prevent it from happening again. He also offered to cover my next order. Because of how he handled the situation, I decided not to leave a negative review. Overall, the restaurant itself was clean, and the staff were polite and welcoming. This was my first visit, and the experience inside was positive. I did feel like the portion sizes were a bit small. I like that the white sweet potatoes are back, it is my favorite. Despite the issue, I would still return and give them another try.

The entire staff was friendly, professional, and customer forward. The ambiance was great - lighthearted but professional. The dining area was very clean and the room was warm and well lit with natural light which made the space feel even cleaner and more inviting. The staff all had matching shirts (it was cinco de mayo so it's possible it was celebratory rather than the norm but it carried well either way) Now to the food. The food was enjoyable. It didn't wow me, but I definitely enjoyed my meal. The chips and salsa were on point. The flavor of the rice and beans were better than many others. The beef taco and enchilada were flavorful enough but had it not been for the salsa from the chips that I ended up adding, it would have been mediocre at best. But here's the thing... the value was not there. The food is overpriced. What you see in the photo was a $20 meal before tip - and his was the cheapest offering on their lunch menu. (The plate was $13 and the side of beans, $5) I had a water otherwise, I would've been closer to $25 for sure. So overall, a good experience. Good food, very good service, very clean and welcoming but the value was the biggest dent in the experience. I'm willing to go back and try other items onto the menu but I'm prepared now. Bring a little extra dinero.

There was a 20 min wait upon arrival. That is no problem. The wait ended up being less than 20 mins. I ordered the million dollar bacon and it was good. This is where the good news ends. The works omelet was tasteless and basic. I had to add salt and pepper. The mushrooms inside were cold and the onions were crunchy. The filling was not incorporated at all it was just an egg folded over filling just in case you were expecting something different. The potatoes that came with the omelet were half hard (undercooked) and half mushy (overcooked). They also lacked seasoning and needed salt and pepper. The onions in these were crunchy as well. The French toast wasn't that "french" at all lol. It was practically toast. I tasted a little cinnamon. Maybe but not much of an egg wash as expected. It was also cold to the touch. The server never came back to check on us. I had to stop her myself for service. Then, I had to stop someone else to get service. She only came back when she brought the bill. There is not 1 thing that I tried that would make me want to come back including the service. read more

Fresh, Flavorful, and Worth the Wait First Watch is a fantastic breakfast spot that consistently delivers on quality and taste. Be prepared for a bit of a wait--especially on weekends--but to me, that's a sign of a place doing things right. I've visited on both weekdays and weekends, and it's always buzzing with hungry guests. The food is fresh, portions are generous, and everything I've tried has been delicious. One of my favorite touches is their selection of fresh juices--they're a refreshing and healthy addition to any meal. The overall vibe feels a bit more upscale than your average breakfast place, making it perfect for a leisurely morning out. Definitely worth a visit if you're a fan of elevated brunch fare. read more
