    Bacodao omelette with roasted potatoes
    Ken S.

    My wife and my I ate here and were happy to finally get it. Since they have opened this location you need to get there early or it will be packed. With that said the food was decent but could have been better. My wife had the blueberry pancake (which was delicious) and she also had the candied bacon which was also delicious. I had the Bacado omelette which was good but a little light on flavor but still good. I substituted the greens for the roasted potatoes. The potatoes unfortunately were not done all the way and lacked seasoning. I took them home and cooked them a little longer added some seasoning and then they were fine. I never talk about coffee much but theirs was outstanding. All in all a good spot that can improve some and they will get our 5.

    Service was very good. Our server Jennifer was attentive and accommodating. The restaurant was clean and quiet. However, the food. My bacon was a little rubbery. Not crispy at all. Maybe I should have asked for crispy bacon? My cousin's pancakes were dry. She had to saturate it with syrup and by then it wasn't appetizing. My friend had dry pancake as well but decided to deal with it with adding more syrup. We told Jennifer and she had it removed from my cousin's check and she gave the 3 of us a $5 card to use the next time. Would I go back? Yes I would. Everyone can have an off day.

    First Watch is an establishment with an excellent, reliable product (food and service). The Jodeco location doesn't disappoint. We've been to this location three times so far. Each time the service has been stellar with great tasting food. The noise level is low with the ability to hold a conversation. The experience is pretty reliable and aligned with the chain itself. Very busy though so be sure to utilize the app to "join the line" ahead of time to avoid long waits at the restaurant. Love this place!

    My second time here and it was better than the first which I gave 5 stars. Best Breakfast Brunch, service on point and the ambiance is friendly busy. PRO TIP, download the app and get on the waitlist because it is always packed on the weekends.

    Mint Mocha Iced Coffee

    Today was the first day of the soft opening for the newest First Watch location in Metro Atlanta. I was RSVPed in the first seating group this morning at 9 AM. They were seating people in a staggered manner, so even in the first wave of arrival, there was a short wait. The checking in and seating process seems to be working fairly efficiently. There was a ton of staff on hand; it seems to be more than they would typically be at a First Watch on any given day. We have a lovely waitress, Tee, who was able to answer all of our questions and was very attentive to our table and others. I ate the elevated egg sandwich, which is my typical order at any First Watch. As expected, the food was made well and played it perfectly. We also had appetizers of the million dollar bacon and a cup of fruit. About midway through the meal, my plus-1 also ordered a specialty drink--the mint mocha iced coffee. They packed it to go. She said it was good but made her realize that she prefers caramel flavor to mocha. All in all, I'm really excited First Watch has a location in Henry County. We used to drive 30-40 mins to get to the nearest location. This was just the soft opening, but they are running smoothly and ready to go!! They officially open to the public on Monday.

    This is probably my fourth time here. Since it opened, I've always come on my own. And sat at the bar, which is great, because during prime time, there is a wait. But generally, there's usually at least one space at the bar. The service is always really nice and good. I i usually get water in a coffee. The water comes in a glass jar that you can pour into your cup. So you which I like, because you don't have to keep asking for water. If you want more same for the coffee, it comes in a carafe. So you don't have to ask for refills. It's already there for you. Food comes out pretty quickly and hot, so I would definitely recommend first watch if you're in the neighborhood.

    Young ladies were nice at check in. There was a wait time but they got me seated very quickly and accommodated for my friend bringing an infant. Juan was helpful and nice and the food came out fast. I ordered the trifecta but subbed it with French toast which was good. My bacon was little charred but overall it was good.

    Waitlist from home

    Decided to bring myself to Saturday brunch knew this place was pretty popular since it's new in the are. Joined the waitlist from home at 11am and it said 60-95 minutes. I arrived right at 12 and it was packed. I had to park in overflow parking. When I checked in with hostess it was still 11 people in front of me. I was seated about 15 minutes later. Started with the cranberry mimosa. It's now 1:15pm so food came out fairly quick and everything was DEElicious!! Def give these folks a try if you're in the area.

    Update: using the waitlist option is a total waste. Upon waiting 60 mins after being advised a text message would be sent when table was ready I went inside only for them to tell me that now that I "checked in" I only had to wait 40-45 mins in addition to my 60 minute wait time. It's incredibly inconvenient to even do the waitlist because you still are under all the people waiting there.

    My wife's old Avocado Toast breakfast.
    Warren M.

    My wife and I visited this location for the first time. We were greeted nicely. Our food was okay. My wife ordered the Avocado Toast breakfast. Her Avocado was old. It should have been thrown out. Not good at all. It was not mashed up. There were chucks of old Avocado on the toast. We both ordered coffee as well. My wife ordered Decaf. Her coffee wasn't very hot. On the other hand my coffee was. I ordered the traditional breakfast. My potatoes were not cooked all the way. This was not a good choice for breakfast. The ambience was okay. We will not return to this location. Our server was good. But the food wasn't. We left hungry!

    A Bright Spot for Breakfast & Lunch! We visited First Watch today and were thoroughly impressed! Despite a nuts waiting list and a very crowded dining room, the experience was wonderful. The food was delicious--every bite was a treat. The service was great; our server was attentive and friendly, making us feel well taken care of even during the rush. The atmosphere was nice and truly conducive to a relaxed meal. A huge plus: the music was at a perfect level, allowing us to easily have a conversation without shouting. The kitchen was a little slow, but this was completely understandable given how busy the restaurant was. The quality of the food and service more than made up for the slight wait. We highly recommend First Watch and will definitely be back!

    I finally was able to try first watch since they opened it here on jodeco rd. I will say I went and the wait to be seated was about 20 minutes and then once seated it was another 20 minutes to get our order. But the waiter was very nice and helpful. The place is nice and well decorated for pictures. The food was alright I didn't see anything special about it. The prices were a bit higher than other breakfast places nearby but that's what you pay for a new place.

    My experience at this location was wonderful! The restaurant is clean and welcoming. We were appropriately checked on during our dining experience. The food was excellent! Delicious flavors and I'm so happy to have a healthy option to choose from here other than fast food. Service was friendly without being overbearing . Everyone was polite and helpful.

Inside, there's the standard Chick-fil-A setup, but there's also a separate sit-down section where you can be seated and have a waiter. That alone already made it feel like a completely different experience. You can still order off the regular Chick-fil-A menu, which is nice, but they also offer an expanded menu with items you won't find at a typical location, like omelets. What really caught my attention, though, were the sides. They had Brussels sprouts, fried okra, and this candy-yam-style soufflé, and every single one of them was absolutely amazing. I paired those with a three-piece chicken tender meal, and everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. The service was excellent, which honestly is exactly what you'd expect from Chick-fil-A, but it still deserves to be said. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel welcoming. Between the unique menu options, great food, and top-notch service, this location really stands out. I'll definitely be coming back.

The chicken and waffles were absolute bangers - just LOOK at them! I was not expecting a normal Chick-fil-A operation next to the restaurant, but it didn't interfere with our service at all. They have an amazing train theme in this location - with normal CFA guests being able to sit in a train-car! They also sell merchandise and I just HAD to get some stickers to go!

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.

We used to have family in the area, but unfortunately haven't been down here in 5 years as a result of them not being in the area anymore. When we used to stop in, the service was unbeatable. Everyone would treat you like family, and would get you your food fast. Now, since the restaurant is under ***new ownership***, we are not sure if that is still the case. Our server was great (she remembered our family even after 5 years (connected the dots to us)), but the rest of the employees and the community within the restaurant felt a bit stuffy. They used to have the best coffee. It is still good now, but something changed (not quite as good). Their pancakes are unfortunately rubbery, but contrastively, they have great bacon; crisp with a bit of fat, that's how we like it. Their hash browns have not changed one bit. They are still crispy!! Some stuff has changed in the atmosphere of the restaurant. They generally have the same theme, but some of the signs have changed. If you get lucky, you may get to eat your food with Shaquille O'Neal in the restaurant! He lives in the area, and comes in every now and then to get some food and pay for everybody's meal. What a great guy!

Initial impression: Skeptical but hopeful Warm environment Friendly people Not packed but good amount of patrons Safety measures in place. As we were walking in another couple was coming out and they had two to go containers with them. That's always a good thing because people who like what they eat take what they can't finish. We took a moment to review the menu they have a lot of good selections. Yes you could probably find a good majority of it at IHOP but we figured let's see how the chef does. Our order: *Country fried steak with white gravy soft scrambled eggs with cheese, hash browns and English muffins *Pork chop breakfast, soft scrambled eggs with cheese hash browns and English muffin. *French toast. *coffee *regular water and lime *orange juice. It's always a risk when you're ordering pork chops because sometimes in restaurants they overcook it and it tends to be dry or they don't select the best cuts of pork chop and it's too thin and is dry. I was really impressed at how well the pork chop was cooked it was tender, moist, seasoned very well, hot and paired with The soft scrambled eggs and cheese nicely. The hashbrowns were not great but they were good it seem to be a little too crispy but nonetheless it was still good. The French toast Was not bad I could've made that at home but I did like them they were a bit crispy on the outside and soft on the inside not a remarkable type of toast maybe some regular brand Wonder Bread or something like that but outside of that it was really good. The syrup did enhance the flavoring of the French toast so it was overall delightful. My husband stated that the country fried steak tasted like an older cut of steak. I tasted it and I have to agree but overall it wasn't bad. The combination of the soft scrambled eggs with cheese and the hashbrowns paired really well with the country fried steak. The eggs by far were the star of the meal. They were cook so perfectly it was like a chef said that's my specialty. They were great!! We went to another place a couple of weeks ago "Atlanta Breakfast Club", paid twice as much for the food that was nowhere near as good as this place. Would we go back. ABSOLUTELY!! I am kind of irritated it took us over two years to eat here.
