    Fantastic havarti and roast beef sandwich! My buddy and I found a busy Saturday brunch spot with overflowing hungry people. Got a table after a fifteen minute wait, great staff, big fun menu, and wanted to try a lot more than we could've at one noon meal. Hope to get back, a lot of pleasant surprises too like the soup added onto the sandwich and good variety of beverages. Top rated!

    Summer menu

    One of my favorite brunch spots and I love the seasonal summer favorites. Today I selected the Chipotle Steak and Queso Hash which is offered for a limited time. The meal was stacked high with roasted potatoes, onions, black beans/corn and sliced steak topped with avocado and eggs over medium. David our server was great and the rest was history. Yum yum!

    Million Dollar Bacon

    We went in Sunday afternoon and this place still had people rolling in. We were able to grab seats on a community table right away where we share a table with strangers. Didn't have to wait so it was convenient. Food was served on time and staff were attentive. We learned about this place watching the GoodGood golf show on YouTube. The million dollar bacon was awesome. Can't wait to go back!!

    Great customer service at this location. The food was decent. I ordered the breakfast sandwich but was not impressed at all. I asked for the potatoes to be fully cooked and they were not and the sandwich didn't have a taste to it except it was very buttery. I was craving First Watch for a while so thought we would stop by but it didn't hit the spot like I was hoping.

    The service here is outstanding! The food taste is amazing as well! The morning meditation was French and crisp for juice, tasted like it was freshly juiced! The avocados were ripe and with a squeeze of lemons, tastes phenomenal! The eggs were also cooked to perfection! The server Lou and the management here are outstanding, quick, caring and they really took care of us! The restaurant was busy but cozy! We will be returning here they really handled everything so nicely!

    Food is always fresh, service is great, the spot can get busy for lunch so do an early lunch!

    Use their own farm fresh ingredients used to cook good quality food. So glad the have turkey sausage option, even have a turkey sausage biscuits and gravy option! The pancakes are huge take up the whole plate and very flavorful. I had the fall special honey Chipotle chicken dish and subscribe the bacon out for turkey sausage. It comes in a bowl with potatoes, eggs however you like, Avocado, crema sauce and sweet picked onions. Also got a sharable order of cinnamon apple donut holes with Carmel drippings sauce and icing. Wow! Everything was good, added a little pepper and salt to my entrée and it was just fine. I love the fresh food and the taste. What I don't like is the set up of the entrance/exit/waiting/payment area... that's right all crammed together in one place I tried using the app to schedule my arrival time and the app said that part wasn't available. If they have such a limited space/area to wait, I need to app to work. Our server was decent and pleasant. The restaurant itself is nice, bathrooms decent. They have outdoor eating but it was a little too chilly today. I would have loved to go outside so I didn't feel so cramped. Everything is great except the cramped space

    12.17.25 first time visit for me, went with my work dept of 7 for a holiday celebration / breakfast. The morning meditation juice is to die for, and so pretty. I couldve had several of those! The food was tasty. Hot coffee was flowing. I loved that they brought coffee right away and kept a carafe on our table. I had the salmon eggs benedict, so good! Other dishes our party had inlcuded the salmon fritata, breakfast tacos, biscuits and gravy, and the seasonal pancake (see pics). And they didn't pressure us at all to clear out; we were in fact quite leisurely and really enjoyed our time there chatting. #yum #ReviewsByRL

    Farmhouse Scramble
    Arija D.

    I love going to First Watch for breakfast! It's always a great experience. It can get pretty busy, especially on Sundays, so be prepared for a little wait, but it's absolutely worth it. I always order the Farmhouse Scramble because it has a little bit of everything I love: potatoes, bacon, tomatoes, avocado, eggs, and I always add extra cheese. It's delicious every time! If you haven't been to First Watch yet, it's definitely a must try spot for breakfast lovers.

    We held our department meeting at First Watch this morning, and it was a fantastic experience all around. The restaurant seated us at their spacious community table, which comfortably fit our group of 7 but with space for 10 and still allowed for a private and productive discussion. The team had nothing but praise for the service, coffee, and food. I personally enjoyed the Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee from the summer menu -- I'm still thinking about how good it was! Portion sizes were generous, and the food was top notch. I had the Chili Chorizo Omelette and my goodness was it one of the best omelette's I've had in a long time. We'll definitely be keeping this spot in mind for future meetings.

    This is one of my favorite places for brunch as they offer gluten free options that are REAL food not just fruit or vegetables as Gluten free. My meal was bursting with flavor and filling!! Our server was great she had patience with my allergy needs. The atmosphere was relaxed.

    First Watch is one of our favorite spots for breakfast and brunch, offering a wide variety of options for everyone to enjoy. We always do the get in line option on their website that allows us to quickly be seated. We also do the mobile checkout for a quick exit. The welcoming service and spacious, family-friendly ambiance makes you feel right at home.

    My husband and I recently visited First Watch for breakfast, and we had a great experience. There was a slight wait when we arrived, but we appreciated the convenience of being able to wait in our car until we received a text that our table was ready. Once seated in a comfortable booth, we were greeted by our waiter, who was not only friendly but also very attentive throughout our meal.The ambiance is that of your typical breakfast spot but they do list their specials on a big blackboard for all to see. I ordered the Traditional Breakfast with the Million Dollar Potatoes, which were absolutely delicious. My husband opted for an omelet, and he enjoyed it as well. I also decided to try one of their fresh juices--the kale drink--and it was surprisingly refreshing and flavorful. Overall, we had a pleasant dining experience with great service, and tasty food. We'll definitely be back again and keep in rotation!

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

It was super fresh and very flavorful. The chicken actually had a good buffalo flavor which many claim to have but don't. We also tried the Nutella crepes with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and Nutella. In addition to being very large, it had a great taste and was very fresh. Another hit for sure. The avocado toast with salmon was really good. The flavors were spot on and as with the other food, very fresh and well prepared. The brisket burger patty melt was also done perfectly.

We were too full for dessert, but I'll be sure to leave room when I come back next time!

    **Bluebeard... wtf**…read more Bluebeard has been on my Indianapolis restaurant list since I moved here from Chicago in 2021. I've found some really great restaurants here over the years, so I was especially excited to finally make it to Bluebeard. Each year during Devour, my husband and I pick a restaurant for each other as a surprise, and this year I chose Bluebeard. We had a 6:15 reservation and arrived about 10 minutes late due to traffic. I apologized, and we were promptly seated. Unfortunately, that's where the experience started to go downhill. Our server took about 15 minutes to come over, and although our appetizer arrived quickly (chips&dip), our drinks took another 15 minutes. I held off on ordering our meal because I wanted to do the Devour menu with the wine pairing. The food & drinks was a mixed bag: - Beauregard cocktail: 10/10 - Chips & avocado ranch dip: 8/10 - Crudo: 9/10 - Smoked fish dip: 4/10 - Mushroom ravioli: 8/10 - Short Rib Ragu: 3/10 - Chocolate crème brûlée: 3/10 There were definitely some great dishes, but the slow service and inconsistent food were disappointing for a restaurant with this reputation. The biggest issue came toward the end of the meal. The hostess came to our table and told us we needed to hurry because she needed the table for another reservation. **We were still waiting for dessert.** I explained that the service had been very slow and that we were waiting on our desserts. Our server apologized and said the hostess likely didn't realize what had been happening and was under stress. I completely understand that Devour can bring in more traffic than usual, but that's also something a restaurant at this level needs to be prepared to handle. We shouldn't have been made to feel rushed when the delays were not on our end. I really wanted to love Bluebeard after having it on my list for five years, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. For comparison, some of my favorite Indy restaurants for both food and service are Bocca, Union 50, Matador, Rosemary & Olive, Tinker Street, Strange Bird, Delicia, and Bodhi. Maybe we caught Bluebeard on an off night, but for me, this experience fell short.

Also, the grits lean heavy into jalapeno notes rather than a creamy, cheesy base. It's such a cute venue with great energy, and a few little kitchen adjustments could make it amazing!
