    Very good breakfast with perfect portion sizes. The eggs were cooked wonderfully to a precise over-medium. The toast and potatoes are delicious as well. They are a little pricey for breakfast, but the food is delicious and the service is pretty good too!

    The place is beautiful, great place to spend a leisurely brunch with family and friends. Allison is a great server and the service was prompt. Food was good for the most part. The eggs Benedict had great flavor but the egg whites in the poached eggs were raw.

    Food came fast, good selection, bread is amazing. Please, though, stop asking, "Just one" after someone replies, "one," when asked how many. Do you say, "just two," after someone says, "two"? And, no, most solo diners do not want to sit at the bar. Please treat us like your other guests. Other than that false start, my breakfast at First Watch this morning was very tasty and surprisingly affordable.

    Rude service, food came cold, and a terrible wait time. Been to this location multiple times and those three things were constant.

    Food and service is always great! Sure, there is usually a wait because it's a new restaurant that everyone loves, but very worth the wait.

Clearly I was late to the party and the early birds knew what was up. Respect. Did we panic? Absolutely not. We pivoted like seasoned donut professionals and started with two dozen glazed holes. That's right. TWO. DOZEN. Most didn't make it home. "We'll just have one" turned into "wait, how many are left?" Then came the full dozen assortment: *Custard filled - dangerously good *Cream filled - no regrets *Chocolate cake - classic, solid, dependable *Glazed - because you can't not And then... the Strawberry Glazed Let me tell you about that Strawberry Glazed. BAM. Sooooo good. Like, pause-the-conversation good. Like, "why did we only get one?" good. They also have breakfast sandwiches if you're pretending to be responsible. Plenty of seating inside, so you can sit there and question your life choices while eating donut number four. The service was friendly, quick, and didn't judge our order size (at least not out loud). If you live nearby, what are you waiting for? If you don't live nearby, it's worth the drive. Just apparently get there before 9:13 if you want Chocolate Holes. Learn from my mistakes.

    I've recently moved to Oak Ridge and have visited Shoney's frequently over the past month. Every…read moresingle employee has been so welcoming and friendly. I've watched them interact with people from all walks of life and treat everyone with kindness and compassion. I have never found an item to be completely gone, as the buffet attendant is constantly there, checking and refilling. I enjoy the fried chicken, and often come for the breakfast bar. They have different themes each evening so there's always a variety. The salad bar is always full and I love the crisp, green spinach which always looks fresh. I do wish they had peas all the time, so I'm happy when I am there when they have them in the salad bar. The only things I haven't enjoyed was the cinnamon donuts (too hard and way too sweet) and the egg rolls (Mexican, too spicy hot). Everything else has been great. Thanksgiving was a blast there and I didn't feel sad to be alone, as the waitress made me feel like I belonged. It can get a bit noisy, but that's to be expected when you have large groups of people being happy together and eating good food. The parking lot may look full at times, but I have never had a problem getting a seat and quickly getting my food. I've attached some photos from my visits this month.

    We stopped by on a Friday with our family of 5. The lobby is cute with tasty treats and cat-themed…read moreitems for purchase. While we didn't order coffee (it was early evening), the prices on the menu were very reasonable. Admission was $10 per person, regardless of age. If you have never been to a cat cafe, the whole point is to socialize with adoptable cats. From what I remember, cat adoption cost here was $125. When we got into the kitty room, there were only three cats out and exploring. Two wanted nothing to do with us and the other was cute and cuddly with another family there. After about 45 minutes, we asked one of the owners how many cats were there and she went to a back room where their litter boxes are housed and she coaxed out a few more cats. They mentioned that there were several kittens being brought in the next day as well. The space was so cute with fun murals, ample seating, and most importantly, lots of comfy spots for the cats to lounge and hidden nooks to explore. There were board games and video games for their human visitors as well as some suckers. Since they are getting rid of the slushy machines, they even offered us free slushies. While there were pics of the cats on the cat condo wall, it was still a tad challenging to tell what each cat's name was. It would be awesome to have names easily visible on their collars and a few more cat toys to play with them. Hope this spot is successful and lots of loving and sassy cats find good homes. :-)

    This place is amazing! I have always wanted a cat cafe in Oak Ridge and finally I got one! Some…read morethings to note, I went on opening day, so it definitely was a lot more packed than it probably would be. I didn't get the owners name, but she had this bright personality and was very welcoming on opening day. She provided a fun give away and free snacks/beverages for the grand opening. The staff seemed very happy. They had a big smile and they were very polite. Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience the cafe on a day with less people. It was super packed due to it being opening day. I assume in the future it will become less packed so the animals aren't as stressed and there is more room. However, the only thing I would say would be nice, if in the future it is packed, maybe have a room limit that way people can enjoy the time with the cats and the cats don't get stressed out. But the main cat area is really cute. I love the design in the room. The cat hotel / loft is really cute. It allows the cat to retreat to a nice safe place if they want to be left alone. There are lots of seats for you to sit in including a nice comfy couch where you can sit down and enjoy some gaming. While I was there I didn't have a chance to really get a drink. I really wanted to enjoy playing with the cats so I didn't get one. However, a lot of people seem to enjoyed it. The drinks appeared to come out to the customers pretty quickly. They have a decent selection of drinks and snacks. I posted a photo of the menu :)! The entire place was very clean. The restroom was spotless, which is always really nice. The bar where they prepare the drinks seemed very clean and organized. Overall this place is definitely a spot you need to stop at if you are looking to adopt a cat or just enjoy a nice drink and snacks with cats in the area. This is a new business and remember to support them because they are doing a good thing and finding these lovable cats a home :)
