    This location is much better than the one on 86th street. Our server was great. I wish I cold remember her name... it started with an A. She was great very personable, very positive. This location is big and spacious, warm and inviting. Plenty of parking space as well. I has lemon ricotta pancake, 2 scrambled eggs, chicken apple sausage and grits. Everything is made fresh daily, nothing processed, they don't even have a microwave. The eggs and coffee are locally sourced from woman owened businesses. Everyone was pleasant, and the food was good, just a little cold. The pacskes are huge thick and fluffy. I tasted my husband's cinnamon chocolate chip pancake and that was the bomb! Please note the bathroom water is freezing when you wash your hands!

    1/2 Salad & Soup (chicken and wild rice)
    Iris F.

    My coworkers and I have been working in Greenwood this week and we have been to first watch twice. I love their options the first day I got breakfast. This time I got half soup sandwich. The chicken and wild rice was delicious. I usually like my soup piping hot, so it could have been heated up a little more. But it was good so I didn't make it a big deal. My salad was the Sweet Honey Pecan. (Minus Pork) Mmmhmm. The honey Dijon dressing with the chicken and pecans was genius. They plate was this close to being licked clean. Very satisfying and just the right amount of food for mid day!

    Came here for a brunch with a pregnant and gluten sensitive friend, she was able to find things she could eat! I was also able to find a dish I like! We had a great time, the food was delicious and and the drink was refreshing The server was attentive and was very knowledgeable and the place looked clean and cared for

    Service and staff are amazing here! Everything tasted fresh and crisp'! The juice is a tad strong on ginger but evening else adds to it nicely! Restaurant was clean and had a cozy vibe about! We will be back to this location!

    We did call ahead in the app since it was a Saturday morning and we had 11 in the family. The parking lot was full I was so surprised when we walked that the place wasn't completely packed. The inside is bigger than you think. Our waitress was fast and friendly. The food was so good and so many things on the menu I want to try. I have to go back

    If you are looking for brunch this is the place to be. Everything was delicious. The coffee with rum in it was the real show stopper! My waitress was attentive and very nice. I'll definitely be back.

    Seasonal Holiday Tacos. I'm not too crazy about pico so it's not on there. Very tasty!!

    9am is a quiet time here. Past experiences have been rather busy with lunch crowd, but they still keep food flowing thru. Lemon curd pancakes stuffed with ricotta have been ordered a second time by my wife. I enjoy finishing them off. The seasonal holiday tacos were the suggestion by the server. Everything was very tasty. Cami was a very nice server.

    I have been to this restaurant twice. I have loved this restaurant chain for decades. Immediately after opening, the food did not meet my expectations. After 6 months,the taste of the food was much improved. Our waiter was attentive. We received good service & the ambiance was nice.

    It was definitely packed on a Sunday around 11. We just checked in online when we were on the way and got seated almost immediately once we checked in. It is super loud in there so it's not great if you want to have a conversation. I had the barbacoa chilaquiles from the seasonal menu. Chilaquiles is my favorite breakfast so I love seeing it on a menu and will always order it. It had a great balance of fresh toppings like pico and avocado to balance out the richness of the barbacoa, black beans, and sauce. My mom had the traditional breakfast. The sausage was her favorite. She also loved that the leave the full carafe of coffee for you instead of just refilling your cup. My brother liked the chickichanga but wasn't a fan of the breakfast potatoes. He also liked the seasonal Honey Crunch iced coffee. We all split the holey donuts with the berry compote. That was probably the best bite of the whole meal. All the staff were moving quickly and friendly but it still took maybe 30 minutes to get our food. Our plates came out at different times which just an accident I think. We'll definitely be back, I think in the Spring/Summer when we can eat on the patio. It looked like they have a very nice patio with fans and heaters.

    Biscuts and Turkey Gravy, over easy eggs and potatoes
    Madison C.

    We needed more brunch spots on the south-side, so happy to see First Watch in Greenwood. Looks like everyone is enjoying First watch, Ha! We waited 40 minutes to be seated on a Saturday morning and then waited 10 minutes for our drinks to come and 30 minutes for the food to arrive. Hoping wait time improves we are giving them the benefit of the doubt because that they are still new. The Biscuits and turkey gravy with eggs and potatoes was delicious. The lemon ricotta pancakes were good but the lemon custard was a lot, I wish they'd put it on the side instead of plopped on the pancake, next time I would ask for it on the side. None the less it was good!! Ambiance is nice, I love the cardinal mural on the wall. There is not enough room for waiting customers and it doesn't help that customers pay up front right by the front door it was very crowded and overwhelming. Overall, I recommend going to brunch at First Watch. Cheers!

    Veggie sandwich with fresh greens
    Stacie B.

    My friend has mentioned this restaurant multiple times and I've heard good things (she lives in another town) so when it opened near us I was excited to try it. It is a new spot for the Southside so keep that in mind as many people are eager to try it and waits are a bit longer now. The inside is wooden with great style and very airy, lots of tables and booths as well as some space for eating at the bar. Our party of four got a table after about 35 minutes which wasn't bad given the hour, but so give them grace as they are just working out the kinks! Our waitresses were friendly and quick, so we got served quickly once seated and were able to peruse the menu. All of the options for breakfast and brunch are delicious looking, but I tried lunch with a veggie sandwich and fresh salad. It was very fresh and perfectly 'roasted' with the salad being light and flavorful. I would for sure get it again. The rest of the table inhaled their food and said they would return, especially given the portion sizes were good for the cost. One lady even said there was so much meat on hers it was too big to eat! A good problem to have for sure. I enjoyed it and will return to try something else, as many healthy and yummy looking options. Definitely give it a try if you haven't already!

Our young waitress then rang in the wrong order for me. They brought out our food and my order was totally something else. She immediately said "that was my bad" and had to go change it. I waited while my wife ate her food. Of course there was no offer to discount our meal at all. We have eaten here over a dozen times and this was just terrible. Come on Antilogy, hire competent people. You can do better than this.

It was fairly busy when we went on a Saturday mid afternoon. We were seated quickly. The atmosphere and decor reminds me quite a bit of Cheddars. When we sat down, there was some kind of an annoying and audible hum coming from the ceiling. It would randomly go on and off. Our server told us that it had to do with their sound/speaker system. The place had a fairly high noise level anyway, along with the music that they were playing. Our server was very friendly and helpful in navigating the menu and answering questions. She went above and beyond being highly attentive in keeping up with all of her tables. The food was above par and very good, quality and quantity wise. We tried a few chicken entrees and they were great. The fried mushrooms were super good. I noticed somebody in the Yelp reviews compared them to Chili's. My opinion is that there is no comparison.

Last night our service was pretty decent, but the food was terrible. My husband ordered a cheeseburger and it was pretty dry and very boring. The bacon had been reheated numerous times and was tougher than jerky. I ordered the ribs. There were so many bone fragments in every bite. It was really ridiculous. It made it nearly impossible to eat. The button mushrooms had no flavor. The truffle fries were good flavor but I wasn't expecting the sauce to be so cold. It cooled the fries down almost immediately since it was smothered with cold sauce. My husband got a refill once on his soda, but I was never given a refill with my ice water. Our shrimp app was pretty decent in flavor but the breading was soggy. Likely from being under a heat lamp too long. Just feel like overall they really missed the mark. My hubs definitely won't be back. I'm willing to try again. Maybe it was just an off night?

She's hilarious, keeps the conversation going, and somehow makes the whole experience even better. Great bartenders have a way of turning dinner into an evening, and she's one of them. The first time we visited, I was looking for a steak sandwich on the menu, and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I described to the bartender that day and he suggested the lunch cheesesteak instead--and he absolutely nailed it. It was exactly what I was craving, loaded with perfectly seasoned meat and plenty of it. The burgers have always been juicy and cooked just right, too.

I'm only half joking when I say I'd happily drink it from a cup. Shallo's has that classic neighborhood pub feel where it's easy to settle in for a while. Great food, genuinely fun service, and the kind of place you'll find yourself recommending... then returning to yourself.
