    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!

Cafe intermezzo falls into our lap. Unbelievable find. An oasis in the desert. Door opens a happy lady comes out with her friends and sees us looking at menu, she says "Go here. You will love it". She described a few dishes. Loved the French toast and Turkish coffee. Not sure but loving her passionate suggestion we went in. It was like walking into a cafe in Zurich Paris or Rome. Server was professional neat and polite. Menu was extensive. The classy wood paneling and nice tables were memorable. I ordered a crepe Florentine. It was savory type. It was amazing. My daughter ordered a more traditional sandwich and salad. She loved it too. There was breakfast lunch and dinner selections. Great desserts on display and being served table-side. Go to Nashville - want to change up cuisine, feel clean and relaxed. Go here. You will love it. We did.

My waiter, Ju'ann, arrived quickly. He was also friendly. I was delighted to see that they serve breakfast all day. It's hard to get eggs just the way I like them. But they did it! Perfectly...just between over medium and over hard. They were gracious about replacing my bacon. I requested soft and they brought crispy. The rosemary potatoes were excellent. They had just a little red pepper sautéed in. Loved that. I am a big fan of strawberry jam and theirs is excellent. I was disappointed that they only give me slice of toast with the breakfast. That's silly! Just give two slices. Lovely decor. Lots of dark wood. I'd definitely return!
