    The food was great and enjoyed the ambiance with my grandmother! Will be coming to the restaurant again this location gave great customer service.

    I visited First Watch Myrtle for Beach brunch after church today, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. From the moment we arrived, the process was disorganized. We checked in, provided my name (and even spelled it), and were told there would be a 30-minute wait. While waiting, we observed multiple parties who arrived after us being seated before us, along with another woman and her daughter who had been waiting even longer. When we inquired about our status, we were told we were "next" and third on the list. Despite that, additional parties continued to be seated ahead of us. When my boyfriend followed up again, we were told they didn't have my name at all. At the same time, another guest nearby was told the same thing. It was later discovered my name had been incorrectly entered as "Carol," but even after correcting that--and being told we were next--we were still not seated in proper order. I spoke with the manager on duty, who stated that the other guests had arrived before us. That was not accurate--we were standing at the front and watched those parties arrive after us. There was no ownership of the situation, no effort to correct it, and no apology. Once seated, the experience continued to decline: My boyfriend ordered the Trifecta, and I ordered the Farmhouse Hash (no avocado) The Trifecta was served with butter on the pancakes despite requesting none. The Farmhouse Hash was incorrect--missing key components, including the expected cheeses (no Monterey Jack or cheddar) When we sent the food back: The pancakes were returned after the butter was simply scraped off--not remade My dish was returned after about 15 minutes, clearly just reheated and still incorrect. Although the meal was ultimately comped at no cost, that does not make up for the overall experience. The waitress was the only positive aspect--she was attentive and professional--but the lack of management presence, accountability, and basic service standards made this visit extremely disappointing. This is especially frustrating because this is a dish I typically enjoy and order regularly. Unfortunately, from the waitlist process to food quality and management response, this experience fell well below expectations.

    First Watch has been my go to breakfast place for years and they finally opened in Myrtle Beach! Everything on the menu is good but the standouts are the pancakes and million dollar bacon. Best pancakes in town! Staff is very friendly. Although they just opened they already have it together with quick service and great food. They have a bar and very very good bloody Mary's. Place is comfortable with outdoor sitting as well. Don't wait! Come over to the outlet mall on 501 and give first watch a try.

    My husband and I just enjoyed breakfast at First Watch located in Carolina Forest. Our waiter, Kevin, made suggestions that were on point. The food, service, and atmosphere were absolutely outstanding. We will be returning.

    I believe Famous Toastery has the right concept, but they may be struggling with the execution…read more Although we've lived in the area for years, my husband and I had never eaten here, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered coffee, an omelet, and a scrambled egg sandwich. One of the things that attracted us was the restaurant's claim of being a scratch kitchen that uses premium ingredients. Unfortunately, our experience didn't live up to those expectations. The coffee was disappointing--watery and weak. We were told they grind their own dark roast beans, which led me to expect an excellent cup of coffee. However, if too little coffee is used when brewing the pot, even great beans produce weak coffee. That was definitely the case here. At $4.00 per cup, I expect a quality cup of coffee, and this one simply wasn't worth the price or frankly, any price. The omelet was ordered with bacon and caramelized onions. We specifically asked our server to make sure the onions were well caramelized, but they were not. Even more noticeable was the amount of bacon. It completely overwhelmed the dish--it felt more like bacon with a little egg than an omelet. Finally, the scrambled eggs on the sandwich weren't really scrambled at all. They were cooked as one solid sheet, more like a thin omelet. For a restaurant that specializes in breakfast, brunch, and lunch, consistently preparing eggs should be one of its strengths. I truly hope whoever oversees the kitchen takes these comments in the constructive spirit they're intended. The restaurant has a great concept and quality ingredients, but paying closer attention to execution and consistency would make a significant difference. I'd be happy to give Famous Toastery another try if these issues are addressed.
