    Watermelon Wakeup juice
    Kris G.

    The food was tasty once it arrived. However, it did take a good bit of time to get to that point. The odd part was in our party of two it took an additional 10 minutes for my order to arrive after the omelette was delivered. Then I only received part of the order-- the potatoes. Took another 10 minutes for the eggs Benedict, which at that point, my other party was almost finished. It didn't make for the dining experience we had hoped for having not been imhere in years, we were really looking forward to it. The food: good, bad and other-- The Watermelon Wake up was quite refreshing and that limed mint sugar rim was on point! The eggs benwdict--- that hollandaise really brought the lemon twang! Would have been very tasty on the potatoes had there been any left at that point. The ham was perfectly thinly shaven. The poached eggs were a touch over poached with a gooey versus oozy consistency. The tomato was juicy & tasted like a solid summer tomato. The "tossed greens" were dry and lacked dressing but were fixed by the requested addition of dressing supplied. The potatoes were inconsistent in that the larger chunks were under-cooked but the ones that were smaller had a GREAT crust that almost made them taste like yummy potato pancakes with a small scattering of well done onions! The ham & grueye omelette was enjoyed (with the same issue on the tossed mixed greens). I would consider returning but for the $75 pricetag (after tax and tip), it wouldn't be too soon, unfortunately...

    Another fantastic return visit to First Watch! Their seasonal specials truly keep bringing us back. We started with the blueberry cornbread and lemon butter--oh wow! Absolutely delicious. I could've easily eaten a few of these, but they're generously sized, so sharing was perfect. Next, we tried the breakfast special with steak chimichurri, eggs, and hash. It was fabulous--decadent, savory, and packed with flavor. We also shared the fluffy, delicious ricotta lemon pancakes (two huge stacks!), and they did not disappoint. Light, lemony, and perfectly cooked. Their coffee is some of the best out there and we try them all! Our server was so attentive and perfectly interactive. Every visit reminds us why we love coming here. Consistently great food, creative seasonal offerings, and a wonderful experience all around. We'll definitely be back again...and again!

    We went on a Tuesday morning and there was no wait. Megan was our waitress and she was great. Very pleasant and attentive. Food and coffee were good. We had blueberry cornbread, the Chickenchanga, and the traditional breakfast. All decent sized servings.

    Our order was initially placed at 12:19 for a 12:36 pickup time. We did not make it to the store to pick the order up until after 1pm. We were directed to the pickup station, where we saw two bags next to each other; one with our order name on it and one without. We grabbed the initial bag with our order name(and bag number on it #1). The second bag had no name, order number, or bag number written on the sticker. After coming home and opening the bag(around 2:15pm) we had only received 3 of our main entrees and our entire kids entree without the drink. We called the restaurant around 2:20pm to inform them we were missing multiple items. I believe we were speaking to Piper at the time. We were told that they were closing in 9 minutes and offered to remake the food that we were missing in the morning. We told them that we were unable to come back in the morning, and that we would like to return for our missing items. The woman on the phone told us that we can come back, let her know what we were missing, and it would be remade for us. We returned to the store at 2:36p, and asked for Piper. Piper immediately handed us a bag and informed us that both bags were for us, even though the second bag had zero indication of that being true. I would also like you to keep in mind that our food was not remade after sitting on a shelf for over an hour; we were handed cold food. I asked Piper if she could remake the kids apple juice that was sitting on the second shelf, on the opposite side of where she said our bags were sitting. She said that the apple juice that was in the shelf was perfectly good, and that they did not add any ice so it wouldn't be watered down. We refused because we are not interested in giving a child an apple juice with no cover that had been sitting on a shelf with no supervision. Ince she noticed that we dis not want the old apple juice she promptly asked if we would like a fresh one. After grabbing the fresh juice we went back to our car and opened up the bag(which I believe we should have opened before we left the restaurant). In the second bag there was one Entree that was missed completely, with an incorrect side, and we were given our appetizer that was also missing, but nothing else. We called someone who was home with the first bag of food to be sure that we were still missing multiple items, and then we went back to the door to find it locked(completely understandable as they had closed) someone unlocked the door for us while blocking the entrance and we asked for Piper again. This time we were initially called liars, as Piper repeatedly said that she packed the order herself and was certain nothing was missing. I offered to have the person at home send a picture of what we received in our first bag, and didn't get a response. I told her that we had no reason to lie, and didn't get a response. She impatiently listened to us as we told her all the sides we were missing, quickly walked back inside to have a few of our sides made and handed us another bag. I let her know that we were still missing a side(specifically the grits that was with one of our entrees) and she repeated again that she packed the order herself. I showed her the entree in the bag that she just gave us and let her know that its not in any of the two bags she handed me. She then said they had run out of grits and it would have to be refunded. And then repeated again that she packed it herself(once again making a notion that we were lying). At this point we had been standing and going back and forth with her for almost 15 minutes and still didn't have our entire order nor was it correct but was also receiving attitude, which was unnecessary. We have been to First Watch multiple times (usually sitting on the patio) and we have an amazing time every single time. This is the first time we have such an issue with First Watch and its very disappointing. This review has been emailed to the customer service team as well on the website. And i want to reiterate that First watch has amazing food! I believe they need to re train some of their staff on customer service. I have never had such an issue with anyone in First Watch before today.

    Great food and an early morning breakfast are available for all early birds like me. The First Watch offers the classic French Toast breakfast that my husband loves.

    Busy Sunday morning with a 30-minute wait. Cool interior and waitress was nice and pleasant. Breakfast tacos (3) were good. Bloddy Mary, better. Especially the bacon! Big menu with other interesting items.

    We hadn't visited First Watch in months. Should have avoided it altogether. I ordered " Traditional Eggs Benedict " with potatoes on the side. I'm including a photo of the dish. Sliced deli ham on a very hard hoagie roll with eggs and tomato with a sauce that was so lemony that it overpower everything. I could barely cut through the roll. Finally gave up and scraped the eggs off and ate them. The potatoes were so overcooked they were burnt. My husband had to send his meal back too. Waffle was raw in the middle and the bacon looked like it had been drenched in grease. It was awful. Our server was friendly and was obviously embarrassed. We won't be back.

    Not a bad brunch spot. They have a lot of options on their menu and there is always something to choose from. If you're going on a Sunday after church, I highly recommend putting in your name online as they usually have a line going out the door. I think the staff here is friendly and works really hard to accommodate the tables they are assigned to. They almost appear overworked, but I know they're trying their best and I always have a great experience. As for the food, it's nothing special. I think for what you get, it is reasonably priced and tastes good, but nothing blew me away. I think it's a great option for a quick breakfast/brunch and you're not looking to spend too much.

    15 min wait on a Thursday morning and 30 min wait for food. Outdoor area was dirty. All planters full of dead plants. Got my order wrong so could not eat with group. When they finally brought my order it was not gluten free.

    I had the pleasure of enjoying food with my mom from First Watch on Friday 17 August 2024 [ This was our first time trying this place ] !! I ordered the TriFecta for the both of us with an Iced Coffee for me and she opted for the Purple Haze ,, The food tasted absolutely amazing but there were a few cons such as the portion size of the food being smaller than expected ( the 1 Sausage for the TriFecta meal for example and also the Iced Coffee had absolutely no sugar in it .. ) Due to the price that I paid in total I was just expecting a larger portion!! Giving this restaurant 4 Stars!! I think that I will be a possible visitor again in the future!!

    I've been wanting to try the breakfast here for a while. The last time I was here the wait was so long we ended up leaving. But we didn't have any trouble getting a table on a weekday. The food and the service were both very good. My friend's Floridian French Toast looked absolutely amazing. She said it was so good she ate the whole thing. I had a market veg omelette with home fries. This is going to sound weird but the whole grain toast was so frickin good! Just like homemade and the strawberry jam on the side was scrumptious. It was honestly my favorite part. I am looking forward to coming back with my family and trying other things.

    We came here for breakfast while on vacation in Mount Pleasant, SC. The restaurant was clean, open and airy. Breakfast was amazing! Our server, Erin, was sociable and patient. I had Blackberry with Lemon Curd challah French toast. When I ordered, Erin called it an emotional support breakfast! Love that! She was not wrong! It was so good and light! I ate the whole thing! My husband had multi grain pancakes-carrot cake style. There were 2 pancakes, which he could not even finish. THAT is not usually the way it goes! To drink, I had ice coffee which had a sweet foam on the top. It was so good, I ordered a second. We were seated near the kitchen, and all of the food coming out looked so delicious! If you are in the area, consider First Watch for breakfast, brunch or lunch!

    OMG! How did I just discover this place?…read more We stopped by Mozzo Deli in Mount Pleasant for lunch on a Friday, expecting it to be busy, and it definitely was. It's located in a shopping center at the end of a strip of restaurants, so it looks pretty unassuming from the outside. There were about four people ahead of us in line, and it took around 10 minutes to place our order. After paying at the cashier, we found a table, and our food arrived about 10 minutes later, which felt reasonable for the lunch rush. The employee who brought our food confirmed our order and later checked back to see how everything was. The food was the highlight of the visit. The coleslaw was delicious, the tortellini salad was good, and my husband really enjoyed his Cuban sandwich. My burger (the rock), though, was one of the best I've ever had. It was incredibly juicy and flavorful, especially considering it was cooked on a griddle instead of a grill. Meals come with the main item, and you can order sides separately if you want them. The menu is extensive, with burgers, sandwiches, salads, build-your-own options, and even breakfast items. The only downside is that if you come during the lunch rush, you may have to wait for a table. Even so, the food made it well worth the visit, and I'd definitely go back for that burger.

Post House is actually an inn where you can stay overnight and a restaurant. This review is only gonna be based on the restaurant portion. Had dinner reservations that were easy to make online. Arrived a little bit early, but we were able to be seated after only a few minutes waiting. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Going into how delicious the food was. For an appetizer, they brought out some warm cornbread with sweet whipped butter. The cornbread was light and fluffy with a hint of honey. Sweet and delicious. For my main course, I ordered the sirloin steak that came with a side of potatoes and arugula. The steak was cooked medium as I requested. It had a great flavor and was absolutely delicious. I chose not to finish it off so I could save a room for dessert. For dessert, I ordered the peach cobbler. It was a ample portion of warm peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Again they knocked it out of the park. Everything about this experience was five star from the service to the food. Everyone was so nice. Since it was our first visit here, they even provided a small gift of a mug with some socks inside of it. If you are in Charleston and have the opportunity, definitely come here for dinner.

We ended up getting a couple dozen oysters, smoked fish dip and crispy tuna rice.
