    Hash with eggs, bacon, and avocado
    Nat M.

    This is a chain restaurant that specializes in breakfast & lunch. The portions are large and the food is good. The tortillas for the tacos were very thin which made it hard to hold while eating.

    Great food at First Watch as always, our waitress was very attentive to our party of six, the food was amazing. Never have anything bad to say about a good First Watch experience!

    The food is always so satisfying at First Watch. My personal favorites are the lemon ricotta pancakes and the farmhouse hash. Their drinks are also really good: the iced coffees can be a little on the sweet side, but that's expected with the cold foam and flavorings. The juices and seasonal sips are great, but the portions are a bit small (the cup size plus the amount of ice). The service is always different; sometimes it's slow, sometimes it's fast. However, they're almost always welcoming and kind. They're usually very busy for brunch, so if you don't like crowds, try going around 12:30-ish. The interior is really cute and definitely gives that brunch vibe. Lots of cute lights and wood accents.

    Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee

    Stopped in for brunch today with a friend. I joined the waitlist online and checked in with the host when I arrived. Check in was simple and we were seated relatively quickly after checking in. After we were seated, we were offered coffee and given both a regular menu and a specials menu. I opted for the tres leche french toast which I enjoyed. I will say that I had ordered an iced coffee which was forgotten on my visit. BUT our waitress was super apologetic, took the iced coffee off the check, and even made me one to go! What extraordinary service! All Staff was very friendly. I would definitely return.

    Very good. Tends to be very busy at breakfast time and sometimes you have to be ready to expect a rather long wait. However, their food is fresh and good. Overall, all a good experience.

    Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl
    Sabrina C.

    TLDR: Plenty of parking. Great seasonal food! Food (4/5): I had to be dragged here. I never wanted to go because my friends would always say that it's overpriced for an egg. But one morning, we decided we wanted seasonal donut holes & fancy eggs, so we came to First Watch. I was wrong. The Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl $12.79 was absolutely delicious. The Salted Caramel Holey Donuts were superb. The Farmhouse Hash $13.99 was good, but the toast was mid, and the eggs were under-cooked for over-medium. Service (5/5): Service was prompt and polite. Parking (5/5): There is a parking lot. It can get packed fast, but there's an entire shopping area next to it where you can park, so it's not an issue. I would come back for that Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl.

    Great service and insanely fresh food. Even when crowded, it's comfortable and prompt. I enjoy this breakfast spot because it is consistent and the menu options are abundant and tasty.

    Came in on a Sunday, and boy was it packed! I had "gotten in line" for a table online with an estimated table availability from 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes wait time. I was hoping for a 45-minute one to an hour wait time, but they did end up seating us a little over an hour and 15 minutes of the estimated wait time. It wasn't that big of a deal really, but I was a little bit impatient because I was starving. The staff were really friendly and calm, especially during a really busy time. I appreciated the staff's patience while I was a little bit hangry! They were quick and pretty good with the table turnovers as well. The dining area and the tables were all fairly clean even halfway through a busy Sunday morning and a full dining area. The only thing I would've liked was to have been checked on a little sooner after getting our food because I needed my water to be refilled. It took me a couple tries to get our server's attention so I can ask for more water. It's a great spot for breakfast or brunch for small or big groups. It wasn't too loud when we had gone even with several families with children. There is a bar for people who prefer and for people who like to eat alone, too! My mom ordered the chickichanga; my dad had the smoked salmon fritata and seasoned potatoes. I chose the Works Omelet with seasoned potatoes instead of the greens. I loved my Works omelet and my parents enjoyed their dishes as well. There was only one thing that we didn't like: my and my dad's potatoes were a tad bit too salty for our taste. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and now know to "get in line" for a table sooner rather than later or arrive early! We will definitely be back again.

    The "fixed" burned cinnamon roll. Hard as a rock.
    Arlene D.

    Do NOT get the cinnamon roll. This is our third time here and maybe our last. The food has always been good. Not great but great selection of breakfast options. Today I got the turkey gravy biscuits with eggs over medium. The eggs were over hard. I did bring it to the waitress and she quickly corrected it with over easy eggs. Which were not right but better than completely hard without any softness to the yolk. We also tried the cinnamon roll. I got it to go. For $5.99 I expected an awesome roll. It was small and completely burnt on the bottom. Which I'm glad we checked before leaving. We showed the waitress and she said oh no completely burnt. She said the manager would come out. I guess it was him. He brought us another one only half burnt in the bottom. And the taste was only fair. Do NOT get the cinnamon roll.

I think it's a great place for studying, reading, or working - comfortable seating, great light, and a menu of beverages and snacks. They clearly have a mission, which I don't know much about, and the the things they sell weren't for me (crosses and Bibles and other Christian themed items), but the cafe was very comfortable.

We stopped in on a Friday morning and were pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was. We were seated immediately, which gave us a chance to take in the restaurant's charming farmhouse aesthetic. With its high ceilings and rustic décor, it feels like a modern take on an old country farmhouse that's warm and inviting without feeling overdone. As an unexpected bonus, we happened to visit during Restaurant Week, and the special was an incredible value. It included a Buff-Mosa, deviled eggs, and the Low Country Biscuit. My wife ordered the Southern Philly, so we ended up sampling a little of everything. The Buff-Mosa was a refreshing way to start the meal. Made with Blue Ridge Vodka, Cava, and strawberry-watermelon juice, it was light, crisp, and not overly sweet. The deviled eggs were topped with bacon jam, which added a nice savory touch. They had a bit more mustard and horseradish kick than I'm accustomed to, but they were still delicious and packed with flavor. The real star, though, was the Low Country Biscuit. It was absolutely enormous, stacked with perfectly fried chicken, chunky pimento cheese, and hot honey. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the combination of the rich pimento cheese with the sweet heat of the hot honey was outstanding. The honey added just enough spice to complement the sandwich without overpowering the other flavors. I also tried a bite of my wife's Southern Philly, and it was fantastic. It's a creative Southern spin on a classic Philly cheesesteak and one that's definitely worth ordering. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. One fun detail I really appreciated was that the check is presented inside a book, a small touch that fits perfectly with the restaurant's farmhouse theme. Between the outstanding biscuits, generous portions, creative menu, and excellent service, Buford's Biscuits delivered a fantastic breakfast experience. There are still plenty of menu items I'd love to try, so we'll definitely be back.

We were here for a birthday meal for my husband, which we noted on the reservation. The good: Service, while not great, was ok. She asked if we were here for anything in particular and I mentioned his birthday (which in many places, they would have known from the notation on the reservation, but again, this was not something that bothered me in particular.) The rest: First, the food. Our appetizers were on the "specials": a watermelon salad and crab stuffed squash blossoms. The watermelon was good overall, but with the current issue of cyclospora outbreak, we probably would have picked something else if the menu had noted that one of the ingredients was arugula. I realize that this is just us being overly cautious but it would have been good to know in advance. The squash blossom stuffing tasted more like tuna than crabmeat. Edible but not that good. It got worse with entrees. Husband ordered the ribeye and I had the short rib. I was actually shocked to see that steak: it was SO thin. Wish I had thought to take a picture of it. Due to this, it was overcooked - almost impossible not to do so for such a thin piece of meat. A ribeye at Texas Roadhouse would have been superior to this, and probably half the price (it was criminal to charge $58 for this.) Also nowhere on the menu did it say that the seasoning in the steak was spicy. Again - would have ordered something else had he known that. Short rib was dry and the reduction sauce was overly salty. The goat cheese potato puree that accompanied both tasted good but there was so little of it that it was more of a suggestion of a side than an actual side. We skipped dessert and asked for the check, which took a long time to arrive. Eventually the waitress arrived, apologized for the wait, and set down an empty plate with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate syrup with a birthday candle. Huh??? Either give some kind of dessert or don't bother! We would have rather had no acknowledgement than this waste of time and dirtying a plate. To be clear - we weren't looking for a free dessert; we were ready to go and would have ordered something if we wanted it. But this is just weird. I'm sorry to see this place go downhill. It is overpriced and lacking in the quality that it had in past years.
