    Grabbed brunch for my sister's birthday recently. I've been excited to try First Watch. Our experience was less than great. We were able to get a table quickly, especially for a weekend. This made me feel like we had high hopes for a great dining experience. The menu was large! So many delicious sounding items it was hard to pick a meal. It took 15 minutes just to be acknowledged by the waitress. Our waitress did say that they were short staffed. It took over 30 minutes for us to place our order, which honestly could have been done after waiting for the first 15 minutes before being greeted. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. I was debating between that & the Banana bread summer menu French toast. I heard the table behind us order that & then they received a dish with no bananas because the restaurant ran out of bananas. So I'm glad I didn't order this dish! I ordered the honey crunch iced coffee. Calories are outrageous for this but once I received it, I realized why. SO MUCH CARAMEL! Which is great! It's what you pay for! But the thing you don't get is the actual coffee in my iced coffee. Literally tasted more like a milkshake than an iced coffee. Thankfully my boyfriend ordered coffee. I ended up drinking some of this down & refilling it with the coffee from the table. For my main dish, I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes & they were really good. Portion was large. Two of my friends ordered the scrambled hashes. They said they were okay. My boyfriend ordered the traditional breakfast with added sausage & an added pancake on the side. When our bill came, we were blown away at how much a side pancake cost! $9!!!! This is insane for 1 pancake! The traditional breakfast was $14 & the side pancake alone was almost worth the whole traditional plate! I cannot believe this place is charging so much for one pancake! It wasn't even a fancy pancake, it was a regular nothing special pancake. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

    Fun new breakfast place in Layton. Only open for breakfast, brunch and lunch, closes at 2:30pm. Where the old Denny's was by Layton Hills Mall. Big menu with a lot of interesting options. We are going to have to come back to dive deeper into the menu. We tried the Million Dollar Bacon, around $6.50. Four strips of bacon with a sweet drizzle and herbs, nicely cooked really good flavor, not as thick as other million dollar bacon we've had, but still very good. 4/5 Chicachanga, breakfast burrito, really good flavor, with just a little kick. Would totally order again. 5/5 My wife ordered the biscuit and gravy, thought they were really good. 4/5 Both came with their potatoes I upgraded mine to the million dollar potatoes which adds bacon, herbs and a sauce. It was good but probably go with just the regular next time. 4/5 Food came out hot and fast, service was good. You pay using a QR code on your phone. Worked really well. You can add suggested tip or customized, choose credit card or Apple Pay.

    The food was really good. I think we must have gotten a newer server as she didn't check on us very often, but it was good!

    Upon arrival we waited maybe five minutes. The host graciously offered us coffee while we wait; that was nice. We were given menus to look over while we waited and I'm glad they did, it was nice to look it over without feeling pressure to decide what to eat. Our waitress was friendly and it wasn't long before we got our drinks. I ordered the A.M. Breakfast bowl. This had coconut chai pudding, fruit compote in the middle, fresh fruit on top, house made granola and almond butter on whole grain toast on the side. There was a light sprinkling of sea salt on the toast; really nice touch. It's a really nice meal that was easy on my stomach. The flavor was fresh and not too sweet either; it was a pleasant surprise. There's so much on the menu that I want to go back just to try something else! However, this is definitely a meal to get if you're lactose intolerant and want a meal that tastes great. This is something I would recommend and get again.

    We had brunch here yesterday and it was delicious! The restaurant is bright and spacious, can't believe it used to be a Dennys! Our server was amazing and did such a great job. We had some million dollar bacon to share, it was drizzled with maple syrup and was a little spicy too. I had the Floridian French Toast, which is challah bread with a ton of bananas and berries all over it. It was served with a berry jam or coulis, and also warm maple syrup. It was so much food and so good! My husband had the Chickichanga, which is like a breakfast burrito with chicken, chorizo, green chiles, cheese, onion and avocado in a tortilla. It's covered in a spicy hollandaise sauce and drizzled with sour cream. He loved it! I also had a Purple Haze juice, it is basically a lemonade with butterfly pea flower tea and lavender syrup. It is SO yummy!!

    A new place to have breakfast or lunch. Went in with an open mind and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was quick to notice you and set you up with a table. They even provided a menu to look over while we waited the few minutes for a table. The place itself is bright and clean. Well, it has to be it just opened a couple of weeks ago. Still, the food was pretty good. Gonna have to return to try other stuff.

    The very reason why the restaurant was cold no insulation.

    The service was OK to great. The rest of the experience not so much. They greeted us with his friendly face. We were met with a server rather quickly. However, some things went wrong, with the food. I asked for my sour cream to be placed on the side, which I never received any sour cream.. I was also never asked what kind of toast I wanted ex wheat, whites. Sourdough. The restaurant itself was cold. It's 33*degrees Outside F I had no way to measure the temperature inside, but a lot of customers were wearing jackets and coats through the entire meal. I asked my wife how her food was and she says pretty mediocre. I felt the same way.. her food was served cold. My omelet was served cold. Neither one of us asked for cold dishes. She orderd egg Benedict. With potatoes I had an omelette. I also love Green Tabasco on my breakfast food, this was unavailable in this restaurant. The question you always wanna ask would you go back there?? Definitely not!!! There are too many other very well done eating establishments that do an amazing brunch !

    We visited First Watch and everything was honestly AMAZING! I ordered the Chickichanga, the Traditional Breakfast, the Biscuits & Gravy, and the Honey Caramel Crunch iced coffee -- and every single thing was delicious. The Chickichanga was packed with flavor, the breakfast plate was perfectly done, and the biscuits & gravy were comforting and savory without being too heavy. And that iced coffee... SO good! The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the whole ambience of the place is really cute and cozy. It feels welcoming the moment you walk in. Definitely recommending this spot to anyone looking for a great breakfast or brunch! Would 100% come back.

    Charging for to-go box.

    The food was really good in a general sense, other than my sandwich (ham Gruyère cheese) was really dry. Loved the tomato basil soup. I got the lemon blueberry cornbread to go and I heard many people say it was so good. I can't wait to try it. My friend enjoyed her meal. And the special drinks they make were phenomenal! I got the green kale one and fell in love with it. The service was a little slow. The only thing that kind of put a bad taste in my mouth was that they charged me 50 cents for a to go box. I can't eat that much because if I do, my medicine makes my stomach hurt really bad, so I always get a to go box and take half or more than half home with me. The food is already kind of expensive, and no you're charging me for something that other restaurants provide if needed when you're finished eating complementary. If you want to be able to take home leftovers, bring your own Tupperware.

    We were on our way to In-N-Out, but I saw Cracker Barrel and wanted to try that place. There is…read morejust no way this place is this bad, and people are still going there? Hostess training another hostess, not knowing where she was going. You know you are waiting too long to be seated when you grab the menu to start making up for lost time. Everybody was just lost. Dishes and crap on every other table as employees just walked on by. Look liked the busboy (if he was one) was hanging out with the two hostesses. Back in my day, if you have time to lean, you have time to clean. I ordered the campfire beef meal. I mean, what was that? Tasteless, soggy old people food that I was able to squish a carrot between my tongue and palate. I did not have to chew any of it. They had to have wrapped this in foil this morning and kept it in a steamer. I have never tasted moosh carrots, onions, or tomatoes in one meal. Did they send it through the dishwasher or something? I have never had to season meat before, as it is an insult to the cook, but there was not enough salt/pepper on the table to put flavor into this meal. A-1 would have been my go-to, but it was not on the table. The server was nice enough, but she works there 7 days a week, takes the bus 2-3 hours each way, and she is sitting in a chair talking to us. Anyways, she asked me how the meal was, and I told her it was embarrassing. I did not have to chew anything except the corn on the cob; it was all mushy. How long do onions and carrots have to steam for the food to be that mushy? I had better food in a field in Afghanistan out of a steamer on a plastic tray. This was not even prison food quality. She gets the manager, manager, no name tag, not work clothing, just a blue blouse and black pants with a radio hanging off her hip. She walked up and said nothing, no introduction, nothing. I asked her if she was a manager or something, and she said, "Yes." I told her about the food, and she said basically I was lying because they make those meals to order fresh. No more than an hour before serving, then I said, Funny, they make it fresh, and we got the meal in 15 minutes, and it's mush. Then she said they pre-cook them about an hour in advance of somebody ordering it. Well, how do they know some buddy is going to order it for them to time travel an hour backwards to make the meal, because they are psychic. At least my server told me the truth. They make them well in advance and place them in a pan of water to heat them up. That makes sense because we are at 5 pm, and the meal tasted like 9 am sitting in a steamer all day. The manager gave me a stupid grin and had nothing to say, no apology or nothing. I said, Hey, I ate it, I'll pay for it. She turned and walked away with no comments. We got the bill, and the meal was on the check. While we were waiting, I signed up for the club rewards required if you wanted a military discount. As I was walking out, I got an email from CB saying I could order a free Share appetizer. LOL! I was tempted to go in for the pickled chips to go, but I was more concerned about being sick later. The server was tipped properly. I have never seen a server sitting in a chair talking to customers about her life while plates, dishes, and cups were stacking up on tables for customers to look at. Just ain't no way I am coming back!

Came both in the afternoon as well as at night. The bartender in the afternoon was super friendly, she was not at all bothered that we had a large group coming in and out. Great to talk to, gave us insights on Utah and the culture here while we were visiting. The bartender later in the evening however... well. We understand the bar was slammed, that is no excuse for the poor attitude and service though. She acted like everyone was a bother to her. When you're a service worker, which I have been, and are working on tips at the bar as well, you shouldn't be that dismissive. Especially when it comes to the safety of your patrons. The crowd in the evening was also weird, not at all super welcoming to outsiders. We were just in our group having drinks and conversation when an older gentleman started to cause an issue. He claimed we had moved his pool balls at his table. We were close, but not at all in the relevant area of the table. He began insulting us and trying to start an issue. We simply told him we didn't move his balls, he could check the cameras if he felt it was that serious, and we even offered multiple times to buy him a new set for the table and move on as grown men. He proceeded to brandish a firearm concealed. Interesting choice to carry at a bar, coming from another CCW holder in my residing state. He later mentioned to the bartender "I have my strap on me if they (us) follow me outside". This was directly by the bar and on camera if you doubt me. The bartender was of 0 assistance when we asked her to simply run the camera back a few minutes and prove we did not touch his table. She was EXTREMELY avoidant and dismissive about a potential hazard in her bar. Stellar service alright. At this point, we ordered the last rounds of whatever we were drinking and closed out. Did not want to tip on the experience, but out of pity for the bartender on the basis of the above issue (it's bullshit but it's still a safety issue) and how slammed she was, along with our group being larger. I've been in that position as a service worker. I hate to give this review because the experience was genuinely ok before this issue in the evening. The drinks were good, prices fair, typical dive bar affair. We aren't sure if racism had any play in this. We were the only minorities in there for the most part, and we have gotten weird stares through our time here in Layton. Nothing as concerning as this bar experience though.
