    Biscuits and Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs
    John P.

    We came in for breakfast I had biscuits and gravy The gravy was a mix I'm sure but was really tasty We are glad we walked one more block over to First Watch

    Omelette with everything.
    Steve S.

    My wife and I ate there Sunday, July 28th. Serve was great and the food was delicious. I had a Chickicanga and she had the omelette. She said it was the best omelette that she has ever eaten. 10/10!

    The entrance

    Our uber driver suggested this brunch spot and so we checked it out and it was amazing!! The place was busy and the waiting room is small, but worth it! The first look inside was beautiful and spacious! We got a big booth table right next to the bathroom, but it fit all 8 of us. They even have a farm table at the top of the stairs. The food was out of this world! Definitely ate almost my whole breakfast, my sister finished her whole cinnamon chip pancake breakfast. The coffee was awesome. And the waitress was so attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend this spot if you want some good 'ol fashioned country breakfast with a warm atmosphere!

    Chile Chorizo Omelet
    Amritpal W.

    First Watch was a great breakfast spot! The omelet was fresh, fluffy, and flavorful, and the toast was perfectly crispy. Everything looked clean, fresh, and nicely presented. I'd definitely come back for brunch. We came here two days in a row.

    French Toast

    This is my first time coming to first watch. I have them in Houston and I've just never been because I don't have one around the corner like other brunch places. Everything we ordered was large portions and the prices were not bad at all. I literally got French toast and a soda for 20 bucks. And the French toast came with like a blueberry compote. No complaints about my food and I also enjoyed that they allow you to self serve coffee while you're waiting in line for a table so that's why I ordered a soda because I already had my coffee while waiting. Not sure if all the locations are like this, but the one in downtown Nashville was very pretty and a loft vibe to it. I highly recommend if you're looking for a quick inexpensive breakfast brunch in Nashville.

    Cute location, everything was good. We tried one of the French toasts, eggs Benedict and smoked salmon Benedict as well as an omelet. Their mimosas are good as well tasted like fresh orange juice

    Chickichanga
    Kevin L.

    My mom wanted to come here on St. Patty's to get corned beef hash. Unfortunately she didn't read that it was just hash, so she had the farmhouse hash while I had the chickenchanga. Both were very good. We had walked in with a party of 10 at 10 am and got seated immediately. Nice staff and a good breakfast. Guess we will be making mom corned beef hash once we get home.

    Pomegranate sunrise
    Amneris M.

    Love First Watch! Wish I had went sooner during our trip. They have many healthy options. Everything came out delicious and it's such a cute place. Love the decor inside. I had the Pomegranate Sunrise and the Elevated Egg sandwich. My husband had the Morning Meditation juice with the Trifecta, which he chose waffle and bacon as his choices. Would definitely be back for more, great place, and great staff!

    This was such a nice find for breakfast. Got welcomed by 4 people at the entrance and the service was stupendous. The food was amazing and you can go light or have a big meal. All tasty options. Very spacious and clean with an inviting look and vibe.

    Million Dollar Bacon Belgian Waffle French Toast Avocado Toast

    The avocado toast was delicious, add the millionaire bacon! Drinks were good and atmosphere was chill. Great place for brunch.

    Good spot for brunch in downtown Nashville. The food and drink are great, but unfortunately the service is mediocre at best. Location is great just off of Broadway, but that means parking is street parking or parking ramps nearby. There was confusion on entering on how to notify staff you're there. I did get a table quickly for a party of one, but the staff was not attentive. I got the Works Omelet with potatoes and a Bloody Mary. The food and drink were great, but the service was not. Shortly after the food came out the waitress brought the bill. She did not ask if I wanted anything else. I would have ordered another drink, but it seemed like they were more focused on the quantity of patrons than quality of their experience. Great place for food, but service is mediocre at best.

    I don't normally eat at chain restaurants but I wanted some avocado toast and it looked delicious on the menu. I ordered delivery to my Airbnb and it came looking like a car ran it over. What a disappointment!

We came here for late dinner, 8.30 and this place was not packed which is very surprising, bc they play music jazz music, and you can have a lovely dinner and still hear ppl talk. But the best thing is their pork chop !!! This is a must get. Thank me later. We got the pork chop medium well bc we like our pork more cooked bc ain't no one trying to get salmonella from undercooked pork. But it was sooo good, has a nice char on the outside, and perfectly seasoned. Additionally, it sits on top of a bed of allegedly "rice" according to our server. But to me, it reminded me of a tendon brisket texture. I would've bet money on it too. But delicious with sweet peach sauce that came with it. For the prime rib, it was a huge cut of meat, but it was lacking flavor, needed some more salt and some rosemary to bring out the meat. Both main dishes can serve 2 people each, so worth the price and food. Definitely come back! And a shout out to our server Cole, who was great

We got there before it was super hot out and the patio kept us super comfortable the whole time!! :) We had a really great waitress who was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to help us make the best decisions for what we were craving!! We started with a couple of drip coffees that came out in adorable cups, on saucers, with spoons, very lovely appearance! Quite delicious! We ordered a fried chicken biscuit sandwich that was served with their home fries and a side of country gravy. This was delicious! I HIGHLY recommend trying their table hot sauce!

Loved the aesthetics of this place- very chic and modern looking. But the best part was our food. I had heard great things about the burger, and it did not disappoint. This was one of, if not the BEST burger I've ever had. It came out fairly quick, fresh and hot with melty cheese and the softest bun. There's layers of veggies and sauce which add so much flavor to the soft, melt-in-your-mouth bite. The only thing was the fries weren't my favorite. They were over seasoned in my opinion, and not super crispy. We were full at the end but the dessert menu looked really good, with specials like ube lava cake and panna cotta. I will be dreaming about that burger, and hopefully will make it back next time I'm in town for that burger or to try their brunch!

So when I knew we would be in Nashville, there were no questions: we were going to Maneet's!

Heads up, no real street parking in the area so we had to park across the street in a parking garage (for a fee.) It was a Saturday night and the place was bleak! I couldn't believe it. There loss... The interior is meticulously decorated. Everything was very modern with some flare like the giant mirrored mocking bird protruding from the wall (super cool.) Sitting inside, you felt a little upscale. I tried a few things as there were 6 of us at the table. We started with Don't Worry, Brie Happy and Keepin' It Rio. The Brie bites were DELICIOUS!! I am still thinking of them 2 months later. I should have ordered this as my entree as well! The Rio, I could have done without. Squishy and lacked flavor for me. My cousin had Tot's El Tio Fun. Needed something. I thought it was a little dry. I did the trio. My choices: Brussels, fried rice and mac and cheese. I didn't realize these would be smaller than the original side version. The brussels needed more of a sauce. The rice- I wanted the egg on top but apparently this only happens when it is just the side. The mac and cheese was good. My friend raved over the Wedge between Us salad. My husband had the Bird Is The Word and has nothing but good things to say. Also, what a cute kids meal served in an only school microwaveable type of meal. I also felt I had to get a desert so the cookies it was and they were a little hard. My complaint- their website advertises the Happy Hour specials. They have it posted on the stalls in the bathroom. Nowhere does it say that you can only have the Happy Hour specials if you sit at the bar or outside. This made me upset! Advertise better. Be clear. Overall: the BRIE!!! True Score: 3.75
