    Front Facade

    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.

    This was our first time here. Everything was great from the "joining the waitlist," checking in, getting our food, and checking out. Everything was great. I had the carnitas burrito and my girlfriend had the trifecta. The food was fresh and really tasMary Grace was a fabulous server as well. Can't wait to come back!

    There's a reason why they are busy. Foods good here!

    I've always enjoyed dining here. However, I've noticed when this place is busy the food comes out lukewarm. I'm not sure if it's a staffing issue or what but it's always lukewarm when they are busy. I know the food is fresh, but I just wish it was hot when they bring it out. I do like that they have interesting cocktails for brunch, but they're a bit pricey...like cocktail club pricey. Coffee is good though.

    Visited Village for the first time & I was very surprised. I ordered the Village Burger & added…read moreextra fixings, my husband created his own burger& we got our little one a kids burger. I enjoyed the burger for the most part, the meat could use a little more seasoning, but it wasn't a deal breaker. The kids burger was so cute, on a little slider bun & perfect for my 2 year old! She tore the burger & fries UPPPP! Haha The employees were very kind & very helpful with suggestions! Inside was nice, not too crowded and outside seating was available as well. I will definitely be back for more!!

    OH MY GOSH!!!! Gluten free fries, buns, onion rings, chicken…read moretenders, tots, fried pickles...and probably more I can't remember. The staff was very helpful in trying to find us something safe to eat because we have multiple medical dietary restrictions. Everything was HOT and delicious! We tried 3 burgers, 1 chicken sandwich, fries and tots all were good. Now this is greasy diner food so don't go in with unrealistic expectations. But this is a family place and a great option for the GF community. We will definitely be back! Just so you know...the chicken tenders, fried pickles and onion rings can be GF but are NOT dairy free. The fries and buns are GF and DF. MY only note we went on a Saturday and the bathroom floors were sticky and the booths needed a better wipe down. I know it's hard to get everything done but a little cleaner would have kicked it up to a 5 Star for me.

    Just happened by this Marlow's while at a sports event nearby. Our food was good but our service…read morewas a little less than stellar. We were greeted by at least three servers, who would ask us how many in our party, walk away, and then never come back. While there were plenty of tables and servers that we saw, it took close to 10 minutes to be seated in a booth facing a screen showing March Madness. Our server was nice and attentive once we finally got seated. My daughter LOVER her quesadilla. My salad was very filling, and I have to say that, even though it didn't look like there was dressing on it, there was a light drizzle that was actually enough to taste. Our server didn't hesitate to bring me a side of dressing anyway. So the food, itself, was pretty good. This looks like it would be a great place to watch some games, enjoy the covered patio outside, and maybe even have a group meet for lunch or dinner.

    First this place had lots of parking and both indoor and outdoor seating. Our service was good…read more Food came out fast and hot. On the other hand I did t really feel what I got, fish tacos and grit cakes, had much flavor to it. The tacos were bland and the grit cake was just missing g something. I was so sad cause I was looking forward to the grit cake. My friends that came with me both had burgers and dessert and liked them. If there is a next time maybe I will try a burger.
