    Morning meditation

    Stopped in for lunch Sunday afternoon. Jo wait for seating. Our waitress was attentive and the food and drinks were good as usually

    Brennan S.

    breakfast/brunch chain that definitely has the old classics but is also more "hip" with fun drinks and foods! Kale Tonic Fresh Juice Kale, Fuji apple, English cucumber and lemon. Purple Haze Lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender. I personally wasn't a fan of the kale. Mostly because I hate cucumbers (I know I know they don't have any flavor). But the Purple Haze was good! The sweetness with a bit of floral taste was super refreshing! Two Chocolate Chip Multigrain Pancakes We've gotta warn you: these beauties are beyond big - they are humongous! Farmhouse Skillet Hash Two cage-free eggs any style atop fresh, seasoned potatoes. Served with whole grain artisan toast with all-natural house preserves. Bacon, avocado, house-roasted onions and tomatoes with Cheddar and Monterey Jack

    Morning meditation juice and Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl
    Shelly S.

    I am obsessed with the power breakfast quinoa bowl and their morning meditation juice. The quinoa bowl is packed with delicious protein and flavor. I love the mushrooms and tomatoes they add and the Italian sausage they use is sooo good. The juice is a perfect punch of orange, beet and ginger that will rev up your day. I wish I had a First Watch closer to home on the Central Coast of California!

    Smoked salmon frittata with cheesy grits
    Madison K.

    This was such a great find on my most recent trip to Nashville, so good we had to come twice! While it looks like every yuppie brunch spot in the city, it tasted a lot better than some other familiar favorites. Same industrial-chic vibe, but different food. For starters, we had the million dollar bacon both times. This was delicious! The first day, they served it a bit crispier, and the waitress asked if that was okay with us when she served it. We agreed, and it was great! It's sweet, it's salty, it's flavorful- definitely recommend. The second time we ordered it, it was not crispy, it was limp you could say (still cooked of course) but was also really good! You could probably ask them to make it crispy if you want; when they gave it to us crispy it was probably a mistake but still very yummy. We also tried the holey donuts from the starter menu, which were cinnamon sugar donut holes served with chocolate sauce and blueberry jam. These were so soft and sweet and the dips were perfect. Oh, and the coffee was decent! They give you a pot for unlimited refills. Score! For the mains, I had the smoked salmon frittata, I enjoyed it! It had a good amount of salmon in it, as well as veggies. It was maybe on the drier side, but still good. The cheese grits were good, and I think it was made with yellow grits which I'm usually not a fan of, but these were good! It was also served with a slice of good bread, and I used some of my mom's jam on it. Excellent! My mom had scrambled eggs, which she said were really good, high praise from her. Second time around, I had the raspberry ricotta French toast. First of all, it's beautiful! Second of all, it's delicious! It's seasonal, but if you're coming in winter 2025, do not miss! You get two amazing slices of brioche bread topped with a yummy sweet ricotta and a raspberry sauce. Perhaps not enough raspberry sauce for both slices, but you're gonna want to put the (warmed!) maple syrup on the rest! There's a parking lot behind the building, and the main entrance is back there as well. When I came on a Thursday afternoon it was dead, but on Saturday afternoon it was PACKED. I could barely get in the door. They said it was a 25-40 minute wait, but they texted us that are table was ready in under 15 minutes. Service was good even though it was busy. There's a bunch of waitstaff walking around available to help, though. Such a great experience at First Watch!

    Good 5/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 5/5 I need to keep this place on my go to list for breakfast--I forgot about it. They have a nice variety of breakfast for all tastebuds. I really enjoyed my club with side salad and I added a cup of tomato basil soup--very flavorful!

    Eggs Benedict
    Galya T.

    First thing getting off the plane, we grab breakfast! We ordered eggs Benedict and lemon ricotta pancakes. The food was good but not the best. The potatoes were wayyyyy too salty. I personally gilt my rings get tighter as my fingers started exploding. The pancakes were regular but what made them lemon ricotta was the lemon topping cream. I didn't really care for it too much. I have had better pancakes in the past. But it wasn't bad. It's all about your personal preference. For one thing the service was amazing!

    Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee
    Christina L.

    Food: Elevated Egg Sandwich- good sandwich, perfectly runny egg. Came with some crispy potatoes- they would've been a home run with just a smidge less salt. Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee- yummy but you cannot taste any coffee... might be a problem to some but worked out nicely for this coffee noob Ambiance: Loved it. Seating is spaced so you don't feel crowded and the restaurant is beautiful. Seats are comfy and the place is clean, not much more you can ask for! Service: You take your ticket up front to pay and it turns out the server gave us the wrong ones. Instead of the cashier suggesting they get the right ticket (mine was actually the right one btw, they gave a duplicate of my ticket to someone else who already paid) or make an adjustment on the spot, it was presented as if it were my problem. I was flabbergasted and there was a line behind me, so I paid for the other more expensive ticket left open. It's a great brunch spot, but as someone who paid dang near $40 for a sandwich and iced coffee, I'm 100% not going back lol.

    Breakfast tacos
    Heather R.

    Fantastic food. Always great and quick service. We started our meal with the famous honey peppered bacon. So delicious but 4 thin pieces of bacon for $6 is pretty darn high and I wouldn't do it again but if you're a bacon lover (which I am not but my husband is) it's a must try. I had the breakfast tacos which were pretty good but dry. The chicken on them was less desirable but the chorizo was great and the black beans it's served with were a nice addition. My husband had the breakfast burrito and he was it was "a masterpiece" on a plate as well as in his mouth. Ha! Coffee is great and hot and the service was perfect.

    So cute and delicious early morning before I go to church

    Very cool hipster neighborhood right across the street from our Airbnb. Food so healthy so good ! The service was amazing. I am definitely going back to this restaurant on my next trip to Nashville !

    Whitney H.

    We really enjoyed our visit here. It was within walking distance from our AIRBNB which made it very convenient for breakfast before we set out for a day in Nashville. The place is well lit with natural light, plenty of seating, clean bathrooms, lots of parking and friendly service. The sweet tea is delicious and the Million Dollar Bacon is to die for (wasn't very crispy though). Service was quick and portions are decent for the cost.

    Breakfast tacos
    Natalie L.

    Came here for brunch on a Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised that there was no wait for a table. The servers were very friendly, we were seated right away, and they immediately took our drink orders. We got the breakfast tacos and the Sunny Seoul hash, which was part of their seasonal menu. The breakfast tacos were delicious but the hash was definitely a winner for me, I loved the bits of kimchi which gave the dish a nice kick. Definitely recommend

    Hard dark and veined Avocado.  Yummy!

    First Watch Green Hills, Nashville TN. This place doesn't care about their customers or the food they serve. This is my second time with bad food and customer service. The server's argue over taking a table after we had been sitting there for over 10 minutes with only 5 other tables, isn't that how you get tips and paid? Avocado that is black hidden in an omelet, wonder what the health department would think? Manager doesn't care, they give you bad gift cards too, for their lousy service. I hope they get shut down and a restaurant that has workers that at least try to have some customer service. Also ran 3 charges on my card. Check you accounts after being here. ​

    Traditional

    Excellent food and great service. Nice outdoor area as well. The traditional breakfast with bacon-strawberry jam is homemade and delicious. Avo toast is filling and has 2 eggs- I added chicken apple sausage! The chicken changa has the same sauce as on the Benedict it's lemony and pairs well with the chicken!! The breakfast potatoes are seasoned and crispy. Like they are fried on a griddle.. delish !

    We loved our breakfast at Milk and Honey!…read more I've read this place can get very busy and have lengthy waits! Thankfully when we stopped in on a recent weekday morning there was no wait and we were seated in the most perfect spot right away! We chose an outdoor table! The outdoor patio is so nice, even in the Nashville summer heat!! 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! We loved it so much we bought a bottle to take home!! :) We also ordered the Chicken and waffles. This dish is also served with home fries and a then a side of syrup. This meal was also fantastic!! We had a really great experience at Milk and Honey and would highly recommend for someone looking for not just a good meal, but an entire lovely breakfast experience! :) Don't forget to check out their gift shop and bakery treats to go, on your way out!!

    It was busy when we got here on a Sunday but it went pretty fast. We were asked about apps and…read moresettled on just getting that. (We had other dinner plans in a few hrs) we got the ricotta/honey bread, the honey butter biscuits and a Bloody Mary. Ricotta/honey: everyone raves about this but we thought it was boring. Ricotta was cold but the bread was warm. No flavor. Added salt and pepper just for something. It gives me ideas of something better to make some day do for that I'm Grateful. Biscuits: husband and friends loved them!! Could have used more butter but still good. Bloody Mary- YEEEESSS!! It was perfect. Our friend got the hot chicken and he loved it. I had 1 bite and it was definitely hot!! And yes- very good. All in all, a good different brunch place for an out of towner. Nothing amazing that I will come back for. Great customer service!

We live in Michigan so this southern fare was SUCH a welcomed change!! We walked in to this spot and were immediately struck by how cute it is! I would recommend checking out the menu before you go because once you enter you are immediately in the line to place your order at the counter! There isn't a lot of room in this area so standing there trying to read the menu for an extended time is difficult! I love to read the entire menu before deciding so for me, I need the extra time! ;) We placed our order and then they seated us at one of their tables with a number. The kitchen brings out the order to your table when it's ready. Everything on the menu sounded so very good, it was hard to choose! Because I was using yelp to see what the menu items looked like I was able to spot a "secret menu item" as the staff member explained. I ended up order the "Nasty Princess". The princess sandwich, which is the Nashville hot chicken version, but add gravy and and egg! AMAZING! This was so, so good! I highly recommend! I also ordered a side of the fried potatoes, which were also very good but ended up being way too much food!! The biscuit sandwich was very large and incredibly filling!! :) We also ordered an egg plate with an upgrade to the chronic bacon - HIGHLY recommend the chronic bacon!! This was super delicious and very unique!! We LOVED the cheese grits on this plate as well as the biscuit with jam!! This is a good choice if you like a platter of different, separated items! For drinks we tried an Iced Sunshine latte, which was very tasty, but very sweet and over the top for our preferences while eating a meal. The drip coffee was wonderful! A perfect compliment to any dish!! :) Biscuit Love is the perfect southern charm spot for a WONDERFUL breakfast experience! Super kind staff, super delicious food, super cute atmosphere... you can even purchase a mug or piece of cute merch to take home to remember your fun time!! We will for sure be back!

I'll start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of pancakes, nor cinnamon and have to be in the mood for both. Today happened to be the day. I tried their pancake sampler, with cinnamon, Caribbean and banana bread pancakes. They were all good, fluffy, airy and flavorful. Banana bread with their maple syrup, Caribbean with cinnamon. But, their cinnamon pancakes were amazing!! Those were definitely the winner!!! Best pancakes I've ever had. Their three pig omelette was pretty bomb as well. I got some of their sausage gravy on the side, to douse the omelette and that was definitely the move there. I think this is the first time I didn't need to use cholula for flavoring. The location is centralized, set up nicely, with huge open indoor space with plenty of seating outside. The service was great as well. Attentive and fast. All in all, I wish I had the time to come here yesterday, so I could try something different today. But, I took the place for everything it had and it definitely delivered. Highly recommend and I will be back, when I'm in the area for sure!
