    Salmon Frittata !
    Donna C.

    Love coming here. I have come by myself, with my son, family brunch, it has something for everyone! Very family friendly. It can get very busy. Pro Tip: go on the website and get on the waiting list on busy days ON YOUR WAY THERE. You get in front of everyone walking through the door. Just checking when you get there. Wait will then be 5-10 min. There is also a community table when you first come in. Anyone can sit there if seats available. Like a bar. Everything on the menu is amazing. Get one of their morning sunrise. It's delicious! Great service and quality food!! Never leave hungry.

    Farmhouse Hash
    Brianna J.

    I always get the same thing but finally ventured out! Got the farmhouse hash and loved it! I've never had a bad item on the menu. Amazing service as always! This place always meets or exceeds expectations!

    Chickichanga
    Casey G.

    The staff was friendly, the place was full but our server was very fast with with getting drinks and the food came out just as fast. I get the Chickichanga every time even when I have the intent to switch it up. It just never disappoints, the flavors pop, the potatoes are delicious, and the morning meditation is refreshing and rejuvenating

    Chorizo Omelette. Yum.
    Brandon A.

    Got seated well, joined the first watch text ahead. Great feature. Service was excellent. Had the chorizo omelette. Yummy. Lighting was great, service was fast. Coffee was good.

    Indulging in fall flavors with friends at First Watch: Harvest hash, fresh coffee, French toast and a hearty Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl. Protein-packed quinoa, roasted mushrooms, kale, and more, topped with Parmesan and lemon white balsamic dressing. Plus the Harvest Hash a brunch worth savoring! They did not have the Fall Seasonal pumpkin pancakes which we went for. So we got the Banana Granola Almond Crunch multigrain Pancake instead. The potatoes were kind of very salty for my taste. The service was quick and friendly. The place was very busy for a weekend morning breakfast hour had to wait for a while.

    Liked this chain! It's the second time I'm having breakfast at this location with my family. Always crowded, but no waiting time tto be seated. Plenty of parking nearby. Clean. Friendly staff. Delicious and fresh food. Sometime positions from could be too fried or salted. Looove their fresheners selection! Kids menu is good, got an oat for my toddler.

    This review is mainly for the service. Me and a couple of my friends usually go to the first watch on argyle, but I recently started going to this first watch and it did not disappoint! Our server Alyssa was extremely attentive and so kind. Our food came out in great time with everything how we were wanting it to come out. Can't wait to go back, and definitely asking for her again!

    Kids French toast with bacon and fruit
    Destini R.

    Lylah was really great. Service with a smile and a very pleasant spirit. The trifecta is good but just enough to put on your stomach. The French toast was so fluffy and delicious. The stop was nice and hot. Eggs were fluffy. Bacon was very crispy. Nice music and enjoyable seating on the patio if it's too cold inside. If you like Shirley temples try a spirit with blackberry syrup. So delicious!

    Grits
    Rachael O.

    We love this plaza because it has SO much in here but this is a favorite breakfast spot! We got the million dollar bacon to start because if you're here - you have to get this!!! It's always seasoned to perfection with the perfect amount of spice. If you haven't tried it, please do! I got the egg sandwich with the runny egg & avocado which was really fresh and tasty. I'm not a huge fan of their breakfast potato's but the grits were so yummy!! We went around 1030am on a Sunday and there was no wait but anything past this time on a Sunday there will be a wait due to the many churches around.

    Breakfast $63.54 for small portions
    Eddie H.

    Went for breakfast after fasting for 24 hours. It was me and my daughter. Sat down quickly a waiter came by quickly and food came out quickly. Waiter Jared was very good attentive, friendly and got us what we wanted right away. I wasn't in a hurry but liked the fact it was busy and we were well attended. The place is always clean. The men's bathroom was out of order and it said to use the handicap bathroom. Only one stall in each bathroom Now the food the avocado toast was very good. My yogurt tasted like any yogurt granola bowl and was $11.49. My daughter had a Kale Tonic drink plus a trad w/meat and left more than half of the potatoes. She said it was too rich. Why the 4 stars, $63.54 for breakfast was too steep in my opinion. I also don't like to wait the line to pay after our meals. If you have bad timing you will wait a while. In closing good food and service but too pricey to come back.

    Mariana B.

    As always very good. Nice environment and very friendly staff. We ordered the eggs Benedict, the regular was very good. The special one, crab cake, was very spicy for my breakfast.

    Grumpy's absolutely delivered. I had the fried chicken Benedict with pancakes on the side, and…read morewhew... you're gonna need to be rolled out of there when you're done. The fried chicken was crispy, the Benedict was packed with flavor, and the pancakes were the size of hubcaps. The hash browns were excellent too. Service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere had that classic hometown breakfast spot feel where everyone seems happy to be there. Great food, huge portions, and prices that won't make you grumpy. We'll definitely be back.

This location has the Grumpy's name but does not have the Grumpy's taste and it RUINED my mother-daughter outing. Walking into the restaurant it has that welcome back feeling of being inside in a Grumpy's spot. The decor is modern farmhouse. The lollipop bouquet is the cutest and WARMEST invite into this spot. As all Grumpy's, the menu is full of American classics. My daughter and I had a short-stack. I couldn't resist adding the Roasted Turkey plate. My drink choice was hot chocolate. I knew something was OFF when I received the hot chocolate..."where's the chocolate drizzle? why does it taste like it's water based?" The waiter let me know it's the waiters choice on how it is served. *INSERT EYE ROLL* When the meal came it was easy to see the Turkey plate was MISSING items and looked like it had been sitting (I mean sitting gravy has look of non-movement). The waiter tried to COMFORT me by saying it was under a warm plate but after I questioned where were the cranberries and stuffing...she then responded with an OH! The Kitchen manager offered to bring out a different dish. Now for the pancake, at FIRST BITE my daughter says "I taste the batter" *insert the disappointed DEEP SIGH* The owner asked if he could remake our meals. Truthfully, this was the THIRD complaint so it was a big NO THANK YOU! He then offered to comp the hot chocolate and one of the meals. I boxed the turkey dinner just to get home and it to have the taste of excessive old oil. :-( smh! Not only did it make for an UNENJOYABLE outing with my daughter. It also made my hype about Grumpy's being the best place for brunch a complete LIE. I give them 1-star for being Grumpy's and 1-star for attempting to RESOLVE. This location needs to get host training, hospitality reenforcement, and a kitchen with care because BAE-BEEEE it's a miss me wit'it For spot the difference in my added pictures Image 1 (before) and Image 2 (after): * Dinner roll added Image 2 * Cranberry sauce added Image 2 * Bread Stuffing side item added Image 2 * Mash Potato on plate Image 1 * Mash Potatoin bowl Image 2 * Plate looks fuller Image 2

I had French toast (just the regular but the cinnamon roll French toast looked really tempting). It was just slightly crispy around the edges and I love that. So often I will get French toast that's a little too mushy. This was great. I also had a side of bacon. Also crispy! I was pretty stuffed but I did also take a bite of my hash brown. It was delicious too and if I had more space I would have eaten it all. The coffee was great diner/cafe coffee. And if you enjoy that type, you'll know exactly what I mean. I drank it black and they also gave me a cup to go! We did have to wait a couple minutes for a table but not long at all. They turn over tables pretty quickly! Our server was wonderful and really on the ball. Our food came out pretty quickly too, in spite of them being quite busy. It was a little loud in there but not so much we couldn't hear each other. I do like that they have counter seating as an option! We needed a table this round to spread out coloring materials lol. But the counter looks like a nice place to sit too. Might have to go back to try the cinnamon roll French toast and a coffee next time!

The staff were great and the menu had a great vegan section too. It was a bit cold on the patio, so we started with some hot lattes which was decent. Also got pancakes & bacons, vegan mexicali wrap and size of haus fried (potatoes cubes). Portion size was huge, we could only finish half the food. Everything was delicious & if you get the vegan mexicali wrap, 100% would recommend trying with the hot sauce with it. Food and staff were great, but I am not sure if it was worth 20-30 mins wait and the hassle of parking. Would definitely go back but will not be a regular place for us!
