    Went for breakfast this morning for the first time at this location. The first thing my wife and I noticed was how unwelcoming the hostess was, no good morning, no smile, no greeting at all. She just assume there was 2 of us, grabbed 2 menus, and began walking. A greeting of some sort would have been nice though. Our waitress thankfully was pleasant and attentive. The menu had a decent selection of eggs and griddle choices, and coffee was served in thermal carafes reminiscent of IHOP (which I prefer over First Watch). The dining room was large and spacious with a nice loft like feel though the hard wooden chair surfaces weren't all that comfortable. The wide open room while looking nice, did result in a louder noise level that we prefer though appealing to the eye. Our breakfasts were good, not great. The highlights of our meals were the toast which was thick, crispy, buttered, and served with a tasty preserve compote. The Hash browns were cooked to perfection with a mix of crispy and soft potato cubes griddle cooked with a nice balance of onions mixed in. Breakfast for 2 with only one coffee came to $34 before tip which seemed a bit pricey for what we got. Overall, decent but not great, especially with the non welcoming hostess. Prefer IHOP and Reveille Cafe far above this First Watch Sandy Plains location.

    Love first watch. Food is delicious and lots of options and cooked well, always a long wait but worth it, waitress was on par and super friendly everyone raved about her. Location was easy to find and clean. I wish it was bigger to accommodate faster but that is just a wish.

    Great brunch! I was hesitant to try after a poor experience at another First Watch location, but this one is great! Our server was very kind and quick. The highlights were the Iced Coffee and the Million Dollar Bacon! Literally to die for. The Breakfast Sandwich was good, but i'd probably try something else next time, because it's very hard to eat. The potatoes were a bit chewy but good. Definitely order them well done.

    I finally had the opportunity to try First Watch and it was good. My group showed up at a really busy time but lucked out and were seated immediately as there was 1 table open. Service was a bit slower but given that it was a full house, we just enjoyed our visit and perused the menu. I started with the morning meditation juice which is a blend of orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beet. It was colorful, slightly sweet and slightly healthy. I then ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. It came out with 2 large, fluffy pancakes and a nice dollop of lemon curd and fresh cut strawberries on top. The lemon flavor was sweet and a little tart. I'm looking forward to coming back again to try the avocado toast which I've heard is delicious.

    Love this place! I've been here on several occasions prior to reviewing. This is my favorite location because of the service. We came in on a snowy Sunday and there wasn't a crowd!! You know us southerners will stay in the house real quick when there's snow in sight! Lol. But glad we got to take advantage of it. I typically get the AM Superfood Bowl. Packed with flavors of greatness! Chia seed pudding, bananas, raspberries and strawberries, mixed berry compote, housemade granola with almonds. Served within whole grain artisan toast with almond butter and sea salt. The toast is sooo good! I asked for it without salt because they aren't consistent with the smooth that they add. If it's just a sprinkle then it's the perfect combination but there have been times when it was way too much. I'd probably get it in the side moving forward.

    We were seated for about 8 minutes and no one acknowledged us. We left and went across the street to Reveille cafe. My Bride, seated across from me, saw 3 servers chatting with the host. No one even looked our way as we walked out. My Bride was wanting to try the pumpkin doughnuts.

    We came on a Tuesday afternoon so there was a lot of available seating. The interior was nice and spacious. We got the steak and bacon burrito, an omelette, tomato basil soup, and morning meditation. The steak and bacon burrito had nice flavoring overall but only had a few bacon and steak pieces. It was mostly potatoes inside. The side of potatoes we got were pretty salty. And unfortunately tomato basil soup was a little too sour for our liking. We enjoyed the morning meditation and really wanted to try the Purple Haze but didn't have room for more drinks since we also got a cup of coffee.

    Yes you can believe the hype!! I am not on social media but…read more videos of this spot have been shared with me a number of times! I came for the first time the weekend of Mother's Day. I was told that since it was a holiday weekend they were not taking walk in's. As such, I ordered pancakes to go. I sat in my car and ate it!! The Pancake was perfect. Crispy around the edges and soft on the inside. What I really appreciated is that they were not that sweet. I really wanted to try the platter but it is only available as a dine in option. Today I wanted to have the pancakes from this spot again. I called around 10am and was able to secure a reservation for 12 pm! I was so excited. A few things to note- this place is small. The seating is very limited on the inside and then they have a few family style bench areas outside. It is my understanding that the inside is reserved for reservations and then the outside is where you get seated as a walk in guest. This is just based on my observation and I did not confirm this to be true. Service was top tier. We were greeted quickly and our server approached our table within a few minutes of being seated. Our server answered all of our questions. I ordered the platter and substituted the meat options for friend chicken. My friend also ordered the platter and substituted the meat for extra avocado . I had a matcha latte and my friend had a mocha - both with oat milk and hot drinks. The food came out in decent time and was clearly fresh. To me you can taste the quality of the ingredients . I also appreciate that the seasoning is light and not over done. The grits were creamy and gritty at the same time - some of the best grits I have eaten. Everything on my plate was amazing! I only tasted the biscuit because I did feel like the plate is carb heavy and I did not need all the carbs. My only suggestion would pertain to the matcha. I appreciate the fact that it is not pre sweetened, however it was chunky, meaning it was not whisked long enough. Based on my experience with the matcha I would not order that again. Seasons is worth checking out! I can't imagine that you can't find something to enjoy from their menu.

I loved how they took familiar, comforting flavors and elevated them into something that felt creative, thoughtful, and seriously satisfying. Every season they have specialty drinks and I got to try the biscotti latte and it was probably one of my favorite coffee drinks ever. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, so I recommend getting a whole bunch of dishes and sharing them with your friends!

However, once I realized you could waitlist online, it was a game changer. We got: Biscuit with fried chicken smothered in gravy: The seasoning on the fried chicken is great, and the chicken itself is juicy and perfect. Pair that with their exceptional gravy and a hearty mouthful of biscuit and it's a done deal. It's a HUGE portion, so come hungry or share. Classic breakfast (forgot what it's called but eggs, protein, biscuit, grits): I got my eggs scrambled and these were probably the best scrambled eggs I've ever had outside of my own home. It was just the way I liked them--definitely scrambled, but juicy, flavorful, and soft. The grits were a crowd favorite on our table--super rich and creamy. Smoked ham was salty (as most smoked ham are) but incredible soft and nice to eat. I thought my favorite would be the biscuit (I'm a HUGE biscuit girl) but it actually wasn't as buttery as I thought. It wasn't bad, but I think I'll take the grits over it any day. I can't believe how delicious this place was. All the plates coming out looked amazing (the sweet breakfast items, wow!) and we are definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu. I'd say this is a 4.5 due to the biscuit falling a little flat (not literally because that thing was fluffy!) BUT service was also great so it's bumping up to a 5. We're so happy to find a go-to brunch spot in this area--definitely give it a try!

I have recently returned from a trip to Japan and they're all the rage there. The soufflé pancake is a really light and airy "pancake". Each pancake is made to order and they have a wide variety of flavors. I've had the crème brûlée, blueberry cheese and their original with a selection of fruit. They were all delicious! Their eggs Benedict served on a croffle (waffle + croissant) is amazing! I do want to give a shout out to the owner/manager who is so kind and generous. He makes a point of checking on the customers to hear how their experience was. Today, my friend and I told him how much we enjoyed our Egg Benedicts, but we were a little sad because we didn't get a chance to order the soufflé pancakes. He replied very nicely, " Next time". A little while later our server brought us their House Specialty pancake, from the owner. So unexpected and very kind of him. I will definitely be going back. If you're in East Cobb, you should definitely treat yourself and go check out this little dining gem!

We started the day a little late so we were looking for a brunch place. I came across Fluffy Fluffy on Yelp and since they serve Japanese-inspired pancakes, we decided to give it a try. It was Mother's Day so the restaurant was completely full when we arrived. We took a while deciding what to order and luckily a table opened up at just the right time. We ordered both a savory and a sweet dish, the Eggs Benedict with Salmon and the Mini Soufflé Pancakes. One thing to note. Their website mentions that the combo set is available all day but this particular location doesn't offer it. We really enjoyed the Eggs Benedict. You can choose either a croffle or sweet toast and we went with the sweet toast which was delicious. I also loved the dressing they used on the salad. (I was disappointed to later find out that they actually sell the dressing!) The soufflé pancakes, however, were a bit of a mixed experience for us. We chose the mini version so we could try four different flavors: blueberry cheese, tiramisu, matcha tiramisu, and strawberry cream. In the end, we were actually glad we ordered the minis instead of a full-size pancake with just one flavor. Out of the four, the blueberry cheese was our favorite. The tiramisu flavors didn't really taste much like tiramisu to us and the strawberry cream topping was fairly simple as well. The pancakes themselves were also a little drier than we expected. I also ordered a matcha latte but unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. It tasted a bit watery and didn't have a good matcha flavor. Overall, it ended up being a hit-or-miss experience for us but we still thought it was a fun and unique concept to try.

I sat outside on the patio and they put a fan on me since it was warm. Lovely seats on the lawn shaded by a large tree as well as some deck seating. They have a large menu loaded with goodies.

It lacked flavor, but I appreciated it for not being overly salty. My favorite meal was the avocado nachos. I have thought of them since my first time eating them. It is one of the most popular dishes on the menu. Ask long as it's offered I will always order it . The parking was a bit tight behind the house . When I arrived , I was very lucky to get the last spot . However , I noticed other patrons were parking next to the Root Canal office . It was an open area that appeared to be a makeshift parking area. There was outdoor seating, by which I saw quite a few people seating there . It looked cozy and no one seemed uncomfortable. As it was my first time there. I elected to eat inside. It wasn't a bad experience, but the home is very small . I can imagine it being congested . But I was there early on a Sunday . Will I eat here again ? Yes !
