    Burnt potatoes from chimichurri steak and eggs hash
    Shelley M.

    I just don't understand. I was their first order on the board ... is what I was told when placing to go order.Why are my potato's inedible??? I could see maybe one or two, it shouldn't be any honestly. I understand we're humans( mistakes happen), but you shouldn't have given no one this. Even the onions were burnt!! This meal was horrible!! I honestly don't know if I would give them another chance because this is my second issue with this location. The first time I ordered dish they didn't have churri for same dish. But the first time the potatoes were waaaayy better. I'm just truly disappointed and hated I wasted my time.

    A friend recommended this place so we decided to give it a try. When we arrived around 8:00 AM it wasn't busy at all. By the time we left around 9:00 AM it was getting pretty crowded. I don't like poached eggs, so I didn't try the Benedict, but it is reportedly very good. I do indulge in bacon, I love it, and I must say the million dollar bacon was AWESOME! The carrot cake pancake was okay, a little too dry for my liking, but okay nonetheless. Service was adequate. Not great, but not bad. The store is comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. Pricing is fair. And the variety of breakfast items is plentiful. I imagine I'll be back before too long.

    Denise was our server today and she is always on her A Game and the nicest person in the world! We are always so excited when we have her as a server. She has been a staple here for as long as we have been a customer and that is always a welcome sight when you patronize a business. Our food was on spot today and no complaints. The kitchen had our plates to us within 10 minutes and they were busy on a Saturday morning. The place was hoping but running smoothly and everything was nice and clean. We will return!

    A Hidden Gem among other Sunday brunch options in town. First Watch is a chain breakfast/brunch restaurant that offers made to order, fresh, meal options at a reasonable price. They also offer many healthy choices. They are child and disability friendly, catering to make sure that everyone's expectations are met. They also offer a website que for getting in line. We we able to get in line on the website and were seated promptly once we arrived. 0 minute wait, very unusual on a Sunday morning. I've been several times in Central Florida over the years but this was the first visit at the Pensacola location. It looks smaller from the roadside but is well spaced inside. Not a great pace for intimate brunch setting, but certainly an appropriate choice for families or large groups. 02-09-2025

    It's a decent location at best. Service is good, food is solid for the most part. Sundays can be very busy especially after Church, your best option is to join the waitlist well in advance. If you like your eggs over medium, prepare to be disappointed. They don't know how to make it, no matter how specific you are, they don't get this right for some reason. It got to the point where we just eat the eggs over easy, anytime we ask them to remake it, it comes back as a soft boil egg. I ordered the steak and egg dish and got mostly potatoes, had to dig to find a few small pieces of steak. I still like First Watch, but I won't be coming back to this location anytime soon

    I like this place in Pensacola. We went on a weekend day at opening. I think we were the first customers. We were promptly greeted and sat by a very friendly employee who ended up waiting on us. My wife and I ordered off the special menu. Portion sizes were very good, and our coffee cups were never empty. The place was super clean and well maintained. Good visit and highly recommended while in that part of town.

    Tri-Fecta Classic Benedict with Smoked Ham

    It's more of a healthier choice I liked the Carmel Crunch Iced Coffee. Although in my meal the lemon taste was a bit too strong on my Egg Benedict. Our waiter was pretty quick! Inside was very nice and clean.

And they make their cashew cheese in-house???? AMAZING!

We like to do the beach loop from Navarre to Pensacola beach. It cuts through the gulf island national seashore and is a majestic drive with water on either side of you. Stopping at the local is going to be a given now on this loop. We enjoyed iced lattes and my husband had the breakfast burrito. They had a really good menu. Lots of different items and espresso based coffees. I want to go back and try the chicken salad wrap. The place is redone and very clean. I didn't go upstairs, but I think it's a liquor store. The downstairs has your standard market fair but with fresh produce which is a plus! It also has cute locally made items like the candles I photographed and some body oils. I found the Crew working the day I went to be a little lackluster, but they still made us great drinks and a great burrito so I really can't complain. They also let me use the restroom when I spilled my iced latte all over my white T-shirt. Aye! So glad I found this place. They have great style and I truly enjoyed the vibe of this humble market!

If iced coffee is listed as an option, it would help if the staff were more familiar with how to prepare it. Our server had to come back and ask for clarification, and what I received felt more like a flavored iced coffee with a shot rather than a true iced double espresso. I also had to add my own cream, which made it seem like hot coffee might be more their specialty. The food itself was solid, though a bit on the pricey side. The scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast were decent. The poached egg with salmon on grilled eggplant and arugula was tasty, and the home fries were a standout--unexpectedly excellent. Service was attentive and kind throughout, which I appreciated. However, the wait time after ordering was noticeably long, and there was a 3% convenience charge for using a debit card, which was noted on the receipt. I don't typically give less than 4 stars, but this feels like a place that could easily improve with some small adjustments.

    Goat Lips Chew & Brew House feels like the kind of place that was designed after someone said,…read more"What if every room had a different personality and the backyard never ended?" And honestly? The vibe is the star here. This place is wildly eclectic in the best way. A huge outdoor area that feels built for lingering, laughing, and losing track of time, plus a maze of themed rooms inside that make every turn feel like you accidentally walked into a different bar. It's unique, memorable, and exactly the kind of place you want to love before the food even hits the table. The service definitely helped that cause. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant from start to finish. Then the pretzel appetizer arrived and apparently chose violence. The beer cheese sauce had the consistency of warm yellow water and somehow even less personality. The pretzel itself tasted like it had been baptized in butter but still came out bland, which is honestly an achievement. I didn't know something could be both greasy and forgettable, but here we are. Thankfully, I was aggressively encouraged to order the club sandwich. "You HAVE to get it," they said. For once, the hype mostly paid off. The bread was toasted beautifully, full of crunch and flavor, and the sandwich as a whole really worked. Now, the meat? Let's just say it had strong gas station cold-cut energy. Perfectly edible, nothing offensive, but nobody's writing songs about it. That said, the mayo situation deserves its own fan club. There's some kind of mustard-seasoned magic happening in that spread, and it absolutely carries the whole sandwich across the finish line. Honestly, give me that toast cut into strips and a bowl of that sauce, and I'm a happy man. Forget the turkey, let me dip carbs directly into whatever wizardry they whipped up back there. So where does Goat Lips land? A place with a killer atmosphere, great service, one appetizer that should be investigated, and one sandwich condiment worthy of applause. The experience averages out exactly where the stars do: right down the middle. Three stars. Goat Lips is average food wrapped in an unforgettable setting, which somehow makes the whole thing more fun than it probably deserves.
