    Tri-Fecta®
    Lorenzo D.

    The service was excellent. The food was great. I honestly didn't find anything wrong with this place.

    The cheesy grits were so cheesy and smooth. They were outstanding.

    Once again delicious!! Bacon eggs Benedict so good! Potato's were nice and hot and eggs cooked perfect.

    So, my wife and I decided to give First Watch another go for breakfast, since my friend and I had a great experience there previously. This time, it did not disappoint--mostly because Brandy, our server, was an absolute rockstar. Seriously, if I could have her follow me around and provide that level of service in my daily life, I would. I ordered the Tri-Fecta, which the website describes as "Two fresh cage-free eggs any style with either a light and airy Belgian waffle or a multigrain pancake. Plus your choice of bacon, chicken sausage patty, turkey or pork sausage link." Naturally, I went with bacon because, well, bacon. It was delicious and lived up to the name "Tri-Fecta"--it hit all the right spots. We also splurged on the Million Dollar Bacon. It was flavorful and truly to die for. Now, let's talk add-ons. I mean, cheese for eggs at $1.49 and onions for $1? At this rate, I'm half expecting them to charge me for the oxygen I'm breathing in the restaurant. But hey, it was delicious and the Mango Passion Palmer I had to drink was the perfect complement to the meal. All in all, great breakfast, friendly service, and definitely worth a visit. Just maybe bring a small loan for the add-ons. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be back!

    Amazing food, will definitely be coming back again. Service was spot on, very clean refreshing atmosphere.

    Double Crunch Breakfast Tacos

    My entire experience at First Watch from start to finish was excellent. Even though the restaurant was quite busy for a Wednesday morning, I was sat quickly, greeted with coffee and checked on regularly throughout the meal. Haley provided exceptional service, she was very attentive and knowledgeable. I ordered an item off the holiday menu, the Double Crunch Breakfast Tacos. They were delicious and stuffed to the brim. The dish has many components and each one of the ingredients was cooked perfectly, which created a nice blend of flavor. I was suprised how quickly the dish was delivered. However, you can see into the kitchen from the table and all members of the team seem to be working in perfect unison. All in all it was was fantastic dining experience and great way to start the day!

    Bacon/cheddar cornbread, carrot cake and pecan pancake, bacon, and eggs

    Excellent food, excellent atmosphere (we had breakfast on the patio), and the best service! Tashanta was our waitress and she was awesome! She was fast, efficient, and friendly. We had a great time chatting with her during our meal! We had the bacon/cheddar cornbread with honey butter, the carrot cake and pecan pancake with eggs and bacon, and we enjoyed every bite! We eat here often and we love the staff and the food!! This is one place where we have never been disappointed!!

    My family and I decided we wanted a healthier brunch and I'm glad we came here. We all enjoyed our food and the service. My dad took the time to let the manager know how excellent Scott was to our table. The place was busy when we arrived but we were seated immediately and received our food in a timely manner. There were a lot of things on the menu that I wanted to try and after enjoying my food, I'd return.

    The food is really good, the price is average. We got the hot chocolate (11/10) and the dragon fruit lemonade. The pancakes were AMAZING, soy and sweet enough. We requested a table outside because the weather was beautiful. The service was good too, the lady came to our table a couple of times to check on us and was very nice as well, I'm definitely coming back

I've tried a variety of their drinks, and my go-to is the Strawberry Earl Grey latte. It's SO GOOD. Nothing is overly sweet, and the tea flavor really shines. My brother likes the mango matcha and my cousin always goes for the vanilla earl grey latte (coffee) or the pistachio latte. We also enjoy their sandwiches too. Would definitely recommend this place! They have a little punch card, where your 10th drink is free, and the owner is so nice! There's waves of people coming and going, but it's not constantly super packed like other places. It's not the biggest place, but you can find seating, and it's a nice place to get stuff done. I wish I could gatekeep this place, but I also want them to be successful. Go try them out!

All were delicious! I love that their desserts are just sweet enough without being overly sugary. A perfect laid back cafe with ample seating for studying, quick meetings, or coffee dates.

The waffle is the right texture of crispy on the outside soft and done on the inside. The flavor is immaculate. It's not too overly sweet. The fried chicken is seasoned to perfection.

I don't know why people think that just because this is a black home establishment that black excellence does not stand up to the rest, but I am here as a witness to testify that Nana's chicken and waffles is not to be missed.

I finally had to approach someone behind the bar to let them know we had been waiting for quite some time. While waiting, I noticed several other patrons leave after being seated because no one came to take their orders. To make matters worse, the salmon croquettes I wanted to order were unavailable. My husband and I ordered chicken & waffles which were good but our chicken was lukewarm. Between the lack of service and menu items being out of stock, the experience was disappointing. I was passing through Atlanta and a friend recommended this restaurant. I won't be returning.

    I probably could've gave just one star but I'm being generous. So apparently they just reopened and…read morebc of this, they don't have their liquor license yet. You wouldn't know that from the website nor just walking in. That would've been nice to know beforehand so we wouldn't have wasted our time. The inside has an interesting look and feel but they at least played some good music. We went for Sunday brunch around 11:30. The server was a bit slow, and it wasn't extremely busy. I ordered the fish and grits and my sister got the shrimp and grit balls. None of it was seasoned, with MAYBE the exception of the Cajun sauce that came in both dishes. If you're like me, you know it's not hard to even lightly season seafood or even grits, so it was disappointing the flavors, or lack of, that we got. Will we be back? Eh idk. It was close to my sister's house so that was the only plus.

I really wanted to see if things had improved since my last visit with a large party. Unfortunately, it still feels like a place with potential that's not being supported properly. When we walked in, I thought things had turned around. The new host (her first day) was amazing warm, confident, and professional. She gave a great first impression. But once seated, it went downhill. * The music was way too loud, to the point where we had to lean in just to talk. * There was only one server working the entire restaurant, which meant slow service, long waits, and a stressed-out vibe. Let's talk food: The fish and grits (see photo) were phenomenal easily the best thing I've had on both visits. Creamy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The chicken and waffles (see photo) were average. Chicken was seasoned okay, but the waffle was a bit underwhelming and slightly rubbery. This place could be a standout in the area the branding, the menu ideas, the food (when it hits) are all there. But the inconsistency, staffing issues, and volume level hold it back. Would I come back? Maybe, for the fish and grits. But only if I hear they've fixed the basics.

    I want to start off by saying I'm giving three stars because this place is very clean, had pretty…read moresolid customer service, and a lot of options for folks to choose from. However, I wasn't the biggest fan of our drinks. We got one drink that was sugar-free to accommodate our dietary needs, and it was not good at all. The passionfruit tea was pretty good. I would get it with less sugar because it's naturally very sweet. With that I wish they had more sugar-free options for those who need it and still want to enjoy a refreshing lemonade or tea. this spot is located right next to an apartment with very few parking spots in front. So I can't imagine how crowded it may get during busy peak hours. If you are not diabetic or you do not need sugar-free beverages then I would say it's worth trying. However, if you do have some dietary restrictions when it comes to sugar level, I do not recommend recommend.

Apparently this is a widespread international chain that originated in Taiwan, though I cannot remember seeing one before. I thought maybe they would be trying to pass off a low-quality product on a college town audience. However, I am pleased to report that it was as good as any bubble tea place I've been to in a while. My kumquat lemon tea came with delicious lychee jellies by default, and I experienced no difficulty or extra charge by opting for half sugar and half ice. These turned out to be good choices as my tea was just sweet enough and the little bit of ice was just enough to make my tea cold without wasting space. The flavor was quite complex and I enjoyed it to the last drop. Their tea menu is sizable and intriguing, and the people working here appeared to know what they were doing. Notably, they had waffles which smelled awfully delicious, but contrary to what my Yelptastic profile might suggest, I do not eat everything in sight, and I did not have room for a waffle. But the people who did get one looked happy.
