    Food was great and portions were large. Fruits and salads were fresh and tasty, I really enjoyed them. My healthy omelet hit the spot. Service was pleasant and staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was clean. The only big no no is the acoustic. We sat in the middle of the dining room and that peticular location was noisy. I will go back, but I will try to sit somewhere else. There is plenty of parking outside. Great location right off I 75.

    Our waitress KK was fast friendly and knowledgeable when she great us. She took our order with a smile and we were very happy. She stayed on top of us for our wants and needs. The restaurant was very clean with a great ambience. We ordered lemon ricotta pancakes with bacon,works omelette wit ham n million hash, double bacon parmesan hash, and traditional breakfast with hash browns and grits. All was very good and perfect temperature on all the dishes outstanding flavor

    First Watch really is the place you want to go for food that taste healthy, quality and pretty good. There's plenty of parking, as long as you avoid the weekend rush. The millionaire bacon is amazing, even though they could cook it a few extra minutes. The service is always good and my food has always been fresh and hot. Everything is pretty consistent!

    Food was not hit - but we pushed through The gravy was saltier than the norm-felt my pressure rise..... The SERVICE! The BEST service of the entire year award goes to none other than "MEMPHIS". Not only is he "handsome" haha, he was professional & has swag. He was nice, polite and attentive. He made sure our needs were met. We love this location and frequently visit. The ambiance is nice with a lot of space. Perfect location too. Our hope is that all the other servers are taking notes from "Sir Memphis". Thank you again for being our server.

    Frittata Rustica with potatoes
    Ginger P.

    This is a huge restaurant and it seems super popular! Luckily there is a lot of seating available and the restaurant is spacious so it doesn't feel cramped. Their menu has a lot of great options, so it was a little hard to choose. But I went with the frittata rustica (kale, mushroom, onions, and tomatoes) and I loved it. They let me substitute the greens for a side of potatoes, but I think I went wrong here because as great as the potatoes looked, they were very salty. To my surprise, the ciabatta toast slice was even saltier than the potatoes! My husband said his market hash was also quite salty. It wasn't to a point where it was unenjoyable, but it was definitely notable. Other than the level of saltiness in some of my food (the frittata itself was seasoned perfectly), I had a solid breakfast here.

    The atmosphere and service here is amazing. OMG and the food is super good I got the Barbacoa bowl and it was delicious

    Farmhouse Hash

    First I'd like to preface this by saying I DID come on a busy Sunday around 1 PM, so obviously some leeway here, but still. Food 3/5 Service 4/5 Online order that was 30 minutes past its ready time (two entrees). Additional cost add on item was missing from the dish entirely. Avocado was kind of just brown mush. (See photo). Service was okay, but no one really went out of their way to give updates on the order, had to ask about it a couple times.

    Turkey omelette with free range, eggs, toast, and tomato

    What is start by saying the service was excellent. The bloody Mary was very good. However, it had a secret herbal ingredient which I cannot identify. That made the great interesting. As for food: I have the beef and Havarti half sandwich with Italian wedding soup. The beef Havarti have sandwich was excellent although the horseradish dressing that's supposed to be on the sandwich was dabbed in one place and not throughout sandwich. That was disappointing. The beef was tender, and the rest of the fixings was very nice. If it was supposed to be hot, it wasn't. Somehow, I think it may have been prepared ahead of time and was sitting on the sideboard, waiting for someone to order it. Let's discuss the Italian wedding soup- Nada! A) the soup had no flavor. B) two meatballs, which were no bigger than your thumbnail tasted like a lot of bread in soup - they weren't really meat balls... c) Israeli couscous was generous to fault and very overcooked, hence, i'm sure it will be binding. My luncheon partner had turkey omelette spinach. Instead of egg whites she had free range eggs. She said it was very tasty. There was some nice fresh slices of tomato that came with the omelette and she would order it again. I wouldn't order the coffee again. It's highly acidic and doesn't taste like coffee. The ambience in the Restaurant is very nice. And yes, we would come back again.

    Seasonal menu

    It's a cloudy day in Atlanta so the place wasn't crowded at all. I was greeted warmly and seated. My hostess was also my server and she appeared to be the only one for about 30 minutes. She did a phenomenal job though. Inside reminds me of the old Perkins restaurants of the 80's. It was clean inside but had a whole bar to the side. I ordered the Tri-fecta which comes with two eggs, meat of your choice and a Belgium waffle or multigrain pancake. That was one of the best waffles I've had! It was light and crispy with possibly a hint of vanilla. My eggs were standard powdered eggs and the bacon could have been cooked a few minutes more. My coffee was really good. Overall I enjoyed my visit and look forward to going back when I visit my sister again.

    Holiday Menu

    After visiting for the first time yesterday and having a bad experience initially, another young lady came to our rescue. She greeted us and immediately became our waitress. From her exceptional customer service and attentiveness-we had to come back the next day. If you're coming on the weekend, be sure to take advantage of their wait in line in the website. Our waiter today was also exceptional. He was very attentive as well. The food was SO DELICIOUS . The ambiance was very inviting and family friendly. The restaurant is great for solo dates, couples brunch, and even group meet ups.

    Market Skillet.
    Dan M.

    Popped in for brunch on a weekday. Nice looking place, soothing decor with decent staff. Grabbed the market skillet and some coffee. Coffee was fresh and strong, but over priced. The market skillet was pretty tasty with the veggies cooked appropriately. I will say it didn't seem as fresh and it could have been, like it had been sitting around a bit. Not bad but could have been better. The toast was thick and hearty, as it should be.

    Chili chorizo, but made as a frittata
    Genevieve G.

    We got a Mint Mocha iced coffee (it was good) & a cinnamon toast cereal milk cocktail (DELICIOUS) We also got the frittata rustica & chile chorizo but made as a frittata. Both were yummy. The wait for the food was incredibly long, one of the potatoes was cold and I wanted ciabatta not toast. They need to work on the kitchen. But the food's good when you get it. Waitstaff is very nice and Peyton is amazing, give that girl a raise.

    Lemon ricotta pancakes
    Dale B.

    First time here. Nice spot. Very spacious. Noise level was decent. Food was superb! They brought warm syrup to the table for our pancakes. That was a pleasant surprise. We had the traditional breakfast with the multigrain pancakes and lemon ricotta pancake The coffee remained hot. That's always a plus. I had the blackberry sangria which was delicious. Service was good as well. Not fast... not slow. They're new and i went on a week day. It will be interesting to see how they handle the weekend crowd. I found it interesting that we had to take our receipt to the front to get checked out. It was a seamless process but I wonder about the weekend. 4.5/5 You definitely get your moneys worth

We are very happy we gave it a shot. The fried chicken biscuit was phenomenal. We got the Hot Honey Garlic Sauce on the side so I could dip the sandwich. The sauce was hot (spicy flavor) so I was glad I could control the portion & alternate the savory fried chicken and biscuit taste without the added heat from the sauce. The wait on a rainy Saturday morning was reasonable considering there were quite a few other first timers in attendance. We could overhear other couples/families telling waitresses & hosts about the video. We also had the Smokey Scramble (with chicken) and a single buttermilk pancake - all of it delicious. Our waitress apologized for the wait & let us know the kitchen was busy but when the food came it would be worth it - and it absolutely was. We look forward to visiting the Crooked Tree Cafe again

    Literally the BEST million dollar bacon I've had in the Atlanta! The thing I LOVE about First Watch…read moreis the fact that their food and refreshments are fresh. They have fresh squeezed juice that is a must try when you go. I received great service from the employees at this location. The establishment is very clean and seems to pass majority, if not, all health and safety requirements. The restaurant is in a plaza, so, there is plenty of parking that is convenient for you. I believe the hours are only until 2pm, and, they tend to bring in a large crowd. Therefore, I advise planning on getting here no later than 12:30, so you have an ample amount of time to be seated and enjoy your food Speaking of food, I would say, for the most part, our dishes were delicious. As I said, the food is fresh so you walk away not feeling overstuffed if you wish to indulge in a lot of food (which I recommend ) The only feedback I have is the Carne Asada tacos lacked a little flavor. Not the entire taco as a whole, but the meat itself- I was able to tell when I tried this dish. I am, shower, very particular with my Carne Asada you have to put the perfect amount of seasoning and the right kind of seasoning along with cooking it a certain way to get a good asada. My favorite course, was the bacon, along with the farmhouse bowl. It was the perfect blend of meat, potato, herbs, & fresh eggs. I added arugula to throw on some extra veggies to my dish and it definitely enhanced it in the best way Overall, First Watch is a staple and I highly recommend you take a visit!

The food came out really fast and was an average portion. There were people who lunch and older couples enjoying their food. Service was very pleasant as I asked to move to a table with an outlet. Surprisingly they only have one table in the dining room with access to an outlet. This isn't a good place to work for an extended time. Overall, lots of options for breakfast, brunch and lunch. They do serve cocktails which I'll try on another visit.
