Came here for the rest time to have brunch with a friend. It was great! The atmosphere is pleasant and the workers are sweet! My friend had a small accident and they were kind enough to check on her! The prices are pretty good as well. read more

We feel silly for not coming sooner. The breakfast may be a little more costly than waffle house or IHOP, but it's so worth it. I love their banana granola griddle cakes, and the house made apple chicken breakfast sausage is da bomb. Even their coffee is refreshing. The atmosphere is clean and cozy. My only complaint is if you dont get there for open or make a reservation you are going to have a long wait. But if you feel like waiting it's worth it! read more

Okay, you win! I denounce my J. Christopher's obsession. Guys, First Watch is the real deal. LOVE their preserves! Love the thick cut whole grain toast. This place is always SLAMMED, so be prepared to wait. It's worth it, I promise. My new brunch spot, for sure. read more

This breakfast place is a must if you ever are visiting GA. Best banana grain pancakes and freshly squeezed juices. This place is heaven.

Avocado Toast was very yummy. My daughter had the chocolate chip pancakes they had great flavor. The bacon was cooked perfect. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Hit or miss here sometimes it feels they make the food with love and other times feels rushed, 4 stars cuz the service here is real good.

My wife convinced me to bump up to five stars, but it didn't take a lot of convincing. We live in Canton, and, unsurprisingly, we don't have many healthy breakfast options up our way. My granola and yogurt bowl was phenomenal, as was the toast and jam and fruit that came with my wife's pot roast hash. The biscuits and gravy were good, but not the type of white gravy I was expecting, which is likely on me for rushing through the menu. We came on a Monday for lunch, and they weren't too crowded,so we were seated immediately. Our server was attentive and present without hovering, so I'm guessing the negative reviews about wait times had more to do with coming at a busier meal than Monday lunch. This is definitely on our come back list, so we're looking forward to bringing some out of town family here over the Christmas break! read more

This is by far the best location in Atlanta. I don't know why people are complaining about the portion size when this restaurant is clearly following the recommended portion size of whichever they're eating. Smh. Anyway, everything that I've tried in this restaurant is amazingly good; their service is stellar and the overall ambiance is very homey. read more

Was a very long wait and the tables were not being turned over quickly. Waiter was very good but food came out very slowly. Food was ok, nothing stood out to me. Even my father who got the chorizo omelet said it wasn't very good. Would not go back, long line for not that good of food. read more

this should have been posted 16 days ago. wait list way... way... way underestimated. Was told 30 min. Well 40 min gone by. Was told another 15 min but I saw so many open tables (at least 5) and my name is way down the list (at least 10 names before me). I left. Finally got a text the table was ready--a staggering 1 hr 3 min later! Online reservation system is a joke. They seem to wait too long for those online reservations to get there. Definitely need to work on the wait list system. Start with the check-in requirement 10 min prior to the reservation time will be good. read more

Lucky we got up early enough not to endure the long line! Breakfast had lots of healthy choices and unique gathering of food items so the menu was an interesting read. But I'm a basic so I got my egg whites, hash browns and yummy glazed bacon ( I can't remember what my counterpart had, but it did have arugula on it) All menu items are pricy but they boast farm fresh and local ingredients. By the time we were done, there had to be an 90 min wait. Glad I didn't! read more

I absolutely love this place. I have had every fresh squeezed juice they offer and they are delicious! The breakfast and lunch options are spectacular. I love how they have hearty yet healthy and satisfying food options. I'm a huge fan of their banana granola crunch pancake, farmhouse skillet hash, trifecta and chickichanga! Please come and see how great this place is - you won't leave disappointed :) read more

Very nice surprise. Service was excellent, but not smothering. Food was very good and came out very timely. I recommend the Tri-Athlete. The one knock is that many of the menu options are high in calories. Maybe a few more sub 600 options would be nice. The lemon blueberry quinoa pancakes, sounds great, but over 1000 calories is high. All in all a great experience. I will be back. read more

Food was Delicious! FYI, I LOVE breakfast! But not for those with a large breakfast appetite And not willing to spend over $25 on breakfast I feel the pricing is very high $6 for 1 pancake $2 for each additional egg in omelette That's highway robbery I had the Works omelette + 3 additional eggs = 16 1 pancake = 6 Coffee = 3 For $25?? Maybe a treat once in a while. IMHO read more

This was our first time here. Parking lot was packed. Had a 15 minute wait. But it was worth it. Nice looking inside. Cleaning. All the staff seem to be happy. Where we sat you could see into the kitchen. Kitchen staff smiling and seem to be having fun. I could see a manager working the expo window. Keeping the food coming out fast. He never visited the dinning room. Or any of the tables. But food was good service was great. I would recommend this place for Breakfast read more

I just finished my first breakfast at First Watch in Kennesaw. It was great. I ordered the Elevation Egg Sandwich and Day Glow(carrot,orange, lemon and organic ginger) Fresh Juice. I am trying to quit coffee other wise I would have ordered that as well. Everyone from the greeter to the server were really professional and nice. This place is very clean and has an attractive look to it. I recommend it to anyone wanting to enjoy a quick, delicious, and filling breakfast for not too much cash. I will be back!....That coffee smells amazing......resist....resist! :-) read more

It's hit or miss. Today is a miss. My Sandwich was called a "Beefeater." However, it looked similar to a kids menu item. I had 1 piece of roast beef on each half. It's usually great and health-conscienous. However, this lunch was a miss. read more

Stopped by on this wonderful Easter Day with absolute excitement to try this Cafe out and write an amazing review, and it just plummeted from there. It was very busy and was told 45 minute wait, I completely understood and did not mind and they asked for my phone number. Had no idea why until I received a text message that I was now on the wait list. Very glad I actually had my phone on me since there was no explanation, and unlimited text messages. The text even gave me a web-site to view where I was at in line. Then, people who checked in well after me began to be seated before me, and my place in line was not changing. Once I hit 40 minutes I asked about where I was at, and told that I truly only waited 33 minutes and I am still way at the bottom of the list and would have to wait until the next 2 person seating became available. Complete disappointment, but since I was only a 2 person party it wasn't really hurting their books and given it was a holiday, it was more than likely their C team at work today. Still had high hopes the food would rectify the lack of ability to process a first come first serve atmosphere. Amazingly after calling a 3 person party that must have given up, they called me 7 minutes later so I could be seated right next to the kitchen and it's ongoing traffic. It only took the waiter about 6 minutes before he would acknowledge me for our order and luckily we knew exactly what we wanted and order everything at the one interaction. Though the waiter may have been eye appealing, that is about as far as he went. As we awaiting our food arrival which was about 26 minutes later, he would come and place items on the table without speaking or looking at us. No worries, I still had high hopes the food would outway the cons. Food in receipt, lovely hash with avocado, bacon and tomatoes. Looked exactly how I thought it would. Couldn't wait to take the first bite and when I did, blandness overtook me. No seasoning on the scrambled eggs, cheese was already cold, potatoes were very dry, bacon soggy, and as I removed the scrambled eggs I notice the avocado had already turned brown on the edges. It was a complete bust. What else to do but the unthinkable, remove the eggs and pour ketchup over everything. All I could really think is that this was a waste of money and I should have followed the other family that was tired of waiting and went to the Waffle House. At least the waiter stopped by one more time and finally spoke asking my son if he wanted another Root Beer, although he brought him a coke instead. I left a $2 tip just because it was Easter, but the staff I had encountered could clearly see on my face and in my voice that I was dissatisfied and no one really cared. Will not, in any circumstances, be returning to this establishment. Started to leave 2 stars because of the holiday, but that just wouldn't be fair. read more

You will have the best coffee here. The service is always friendly and attentive. My favorite part is all the healthy options for the family. I enjoy the seasonal changes in the menu that feature locally fresh ingredients. I usually meet great people at the shared counter. I highly recommend. read more

First Watch - This place is warm and cozy. Has an open flow. The shared counter is a great idea for a quick stop. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

Love this place!! Great breakfast and amazing morning meditation drink! Many choices. Must visit!

I read all the reviews before trying this place and had some concerns based on what others have said. I am glad that I took the risk. We went on a Friday morning about 9. We where seated immediately and had water and juice on the table before I could read the entire menu. The service was prompt, friendly and there when we needed them. The place was clean, including all the dishes and restrooms. I would give the service a 5 for sure. The food was served in a reasonable amount of time, was fresh and there was plenty of it. I had the biscuit and gravy platter and could not finish it (and still walk). My wife had the healthy omelette option and it was great too. Plenty of food and all of it was fresh and well prepared. As for the prices, I did not find them high for what you are getting. Sure it is $8-$10 for breakfast, but it is not fast food - they are making it there and fresh to order. It was really only a few bucks more than Waffle House and, well, you're not eating at Waffle House. Overall, we had a great visit and I will return. Hopefully they are over the hump of newness and the staff are starting to click. They certainly seem to be on the up and up to me. read more

I am definitely a fan of this place! I just wish I knew they had an online check-in system; it would've been nice to wait the 30 mins at my house. Overall, everything here was great from the free coffee in the waiting area to the food served. I had the fresh squeeze orange juice, "The Works" omelette, and a side of potatoes. My favorite part of the dish was the whole grain toast; it was thick, crunchy, and very fulfilling. Despite the long wait, the food came out surprisingly quick! I will definitely come back here to try other food items. read more

First Watch - The Works !! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

I have been hearing about this place so finally made it out. I didn't know they had other locations until we arrived. So next time ill try the vinings locatiom bc its closer to me. Parking isn't plentiful but not quite limited either. We only waited about 2 minutes to be seated. Our server was nice but wasn't very attentive. I ordered the turkey sausage gravy and biscuit plate with hot tea. My eggs weren't cooked right so I had to send them back and by the time they came back my other food was cold. I ate what I could bc I was hungry. When my eggs came back they weren't even fully cooked guess ppl don't know how to make well done fried eggs. My mom ordered the Tri-fecka with blueberry pancake. She loved it all especially the warm syrup and the crispy edges on her pancake. I love the decor and at home feel. I'm going to try the location closer to me next. I wish they offered an omelet with turkey sausage since we don't eat pork bc that's what I really wanted. But can't wait to try to stuffed french toast next time. read more

First Watch - Turkey sausage biscuit and gravy plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

The food pictured looks great but the taste is lackluster. I had the Eggs Benedict w/ Smoked Salmon which came with rave reviews. The eggs were cooked nicely, perfect ooze and all that jazz. However, the hollandaise sauce was very bland and seemed nonexistent. In addition, the bread is way to soft. It adds zero value under an oozing egg, sauce and salmon that was also very soft (not a smoked flavor in sight!). They at least need to crisp up the edges on the bread to add some texture and create a real vehicle through which one can enjoy everything on top. As mentioned, the salmon really needs work. It didn't taste smoked or prepped in any way. They could add a caper, dash of salt or something! I had to add salt, which I VERY rarely ever do. The potatoes on the side were decent; some were undercooked. The onions in the potatoes were the only really tasty item on the plate. I'm giving three stars because the service was so great. However, I would not go back for the food. I really wanted this place to work, but issssaaaa no. read more

Food is phenomenal always!! My favorite place to eat a healthy breakfast!!! Service is a hit and miss. I still fo back all the time!!

Great brunch place for the area. Food seems fresh but there isn't much on the menu other than the basic stuff. Lots of college students in the area, very loud atmosphere read more

I'll start with this, The food was fantastic, Five Stars on the food! Definitely. I ordered the Turkey Sausage Gravy Biscuits and I thoroughly enjoyed the full flavor and the presentation of my meal. I also got 2 pancakes which I immediately regretted because the pancakes are MASSIVE and I should have ordered just one. I ordered the original pancake which I kinda wish I went with something a little more exciting like their granola or peach pancake but that's for next time. So if the food was so good...why didn't I give it five stars? One simple reason, I called 5 minutes before I got there and asked how long the wait was. The server was very kind and said 5-10 minutes. We got there and the wait was 45 minutes? We told them we just spoke with someone, confirmed the # and they said, oh the server picks up the phone and probably didn't know the actual wait time. Why server's are picking up the phone and not the host/hostess is beyond me and how did they get the wait so wrong. I don't know. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my food. We ended up sitting at the community table anyway and sat down immediately because there were two openings and they were first come first server. If we have a better seating experience next time I'll probably adjust my review but until then, go for the food but prepare to wait, even if they tell you it's just 5 minutes. read more

Food isn't horribly expensive but i overpaid for the quality of the food i was given. Potatoes were undercooked and my "poached" eggs Benedict was just more boiled than anything. Kale juice made my breath stink and overall just not a good experience. Food also took 30 minutes to come out. Definitely better brunch places around. Their water was top notch though. read more

First time to this location (did the Smyrna spot a few months ago and was pleased) so this review is mostly for consistency. First off I realized that Kennesaw stretches farther than I thought. I had The Works-$9.79 Ham, bacon, sausage, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions and tomatoes with Cheddar and Monterey Jack. Topped with sour cream. Since I'm on a 1500 a day calorie diet (seems like I forgot post a bunch of restaurant reviews) I opted for the egg white version to save some calories for later. The omelette was adequately stuffed with sausage, mushrooms, and ham. My wife chowed down on the Trifecta and there were no complaints from her end of the table. Service was good and the wait was a standard 30 -35 minutes for Sunday mornings. We'll be back read more

Amazing food. The best French toast everrrrr. Can't wait to come back for the French toast

Honestly we waited about 45 mins after putting our name on the list online, little did we know you have to go in person THEN be added to the list again? So we waited an additional 20 mins. Then when we sat our server was super busy because it was packed so it took about another 10 mins for drinks and ordering food. Another 40 minutes for the food to come out. I know they were busy but my husband ordered the crab avocado toast and I ordered the lox Benedict. 40 mins for some toast with avocado and cold unseasoned crab meat, which was absolutely disgusting. And some eggs over easy on top of English muffins with some already made smoked salmon on top. It wasn't anything to rave about but I could've made it better and in less than 15 mins in my own kitchen, also cheaper. I really really wanted to like this place and the server was super nice I made sure she was still tipped good for her time but it's overpriced and bland. We now joke when we drive by and call it "last watch" because we'll never go back I usually don't post bad reviews and they did comp everything (because I was honest with our server and didn't eat more than a bite of the meal) but if you want overpriced mediocre breakfast food go somewhere else or make it in your home for a fraction of the time and price. read more

Wow, this place has tantalizing food selection. All the employees has joyful smiles and I felt extremely at home at first watch. The food is top notch, my mouth is still watering thinking about some of the other menu items!! read more
