We went on a Thursday arriving at 11:45 am to a 30 minute wait. I don't think it's was because they were so packed I think it was because they didn't have enough servers bc there were several tables empty and no one was on the patio. After 30 minutes I checked on where we were and one girl said another 15 minutes but then the young woman that said 30 minutes grabbed 2 menus and said follow me. We ended up at a 2 person table beside 2 empty booths and we did not even ask to change bc our favorite server had us! She's so good that she's worth the wait! I'm so sorry I can't remember her name! Of course we ordered coffee because theirs is so delicious we don't mind paying $3.99 for it! Normally, we always get water with lemon as our drinks but not here! We both decided to try something different then our usual orders. My friend had the chimmichurri steak hash and he ate every thing but a couple of potatoes, said it was very good and was happy he tried it. I chose the pick 2 half sandwich Roast beef and havarti with a creamy horseradish sauce and tomato basil soup. Both were excellent! The ambiance here is minimal but super clean including the restrooms. People definitely come for the food. We did miss the Belgium waffle we usually share but we decided we were too full to even attempt one ! No worries my birthday is in a couple of weeks and they always send a bogo happy birthday coupon if you are on their vip list, which of course, I am.... so there is a Belgium waffle in my future! Thank you First Watch for consistently being one of our favorite places!

I was looking for the First Watch in Lawrenceville area but I found this location to be just as satisfying. The service was impeccable. The waitress kept a watchful eye on me and the rest of her customer. I had the biscuit and gravy fried egg, and home fries. My selection left me full. This location appears to be larger on the inside, and I didn't see outside dining as I did at the other location. The ambiance is, come as you are. I met a local and we sparked up a great conversation. He is well known here. I am happy that I chose to sit in the dining area and not at the community area. The community area is a large table that looks like The Last Supper. I chose not to sit there, and I am glad I did, the two gentlemen that were there, left and I would have been the only person sitting alone at such a big table. I do find the restaurant to be consistent with the Lawrenceville Ga location. All around it is a good place to eat.

Watermelon mint juice (they couldn't even fill my cup up all the way)

Been coming here for years & yesterday was my last time. Placed an online order & I arrived once it said it was ready. I had to wait 34 min inside just to get my online order & the restaurant was not busy at the time. So this lets me know that they either forgot about my order or had to actually cook it once I got in .. idk but waiting that long once inside for an online order that should've been ready was very poor service & for all of that I probably was better off dining inside. Another thing I'd like to point out is that I asked two workers to check on my order and they never did and acted like it was a problem when I asked them to. There was no "sorry for the wait, it's coming out shortly" or nothing. The only lady who apologized & actually gave me an update towards the last 5 min of me waiting was an older woman with curly hairs/ blonde highlights & I appreciated her for that. Another thing, once I got my to go order .. my cup was not filled all the way, there were no utensils in my bag & my bacon was NOT cooked all the way through so again, they must've forgotten about my order & then rushed to make it when they realized I kept asking about it. I couldn't even eat the bacon so that was a waste of money. The purpose of placing an online order is so I don't have to deal with the long extended delays once in the restaurant. There needs to be a better system in place for online orders and the customer service needs to be improved.

Strawberry dulce de leche French toast and million dollar bacon.

Jerome H.

I had the strawberry dulce de leche French toast along with the million dollar bacon and it was phenomenal. The problem existed due to not being told prior to dining that the heater was broken. It was freezing inside this restaurant. Would not have sat and ordered had I known. My server Kierra was excellent.

1st time dining here- very crowded 45 min. Wait. Understood why. Menu had variety. Healthy food options. Fresh juices mixes too. Everything was yummy. Food was delish. Fresh, presentation was chefs kiss. Friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend & will definitely return.

I've been meaning to try this place for a while so happy I finally got to visit today for birthday breakfast. Carrot cake pancakes were amazing & have to say never saw this as an option anywhere else.... Always a plus when there are brand new breakfast options. The service was fast, friendly and left nothing to be desired. I love that this location also has outside dining so have to come back for that experience when it's not so cold out. All in all, I recommend for breakfast & brunch that's not more of the same.

Delicious! They have options for everyone and raw juices! Affordable and a cute environment

What I ordered. Double crunch means double layered tortillas.

I dropped in here after going to a nearby store. The poster board outside on the sidewalk drew me in. It was a picture of breakfast tacos that look delicious. So that is what I ordered. They were amazingly good. It comes with fruit but I ordered the potatoes. Extra lime cream on the side for the tacos. I had an amazing server who was very attentive. You can either pay at your table on your phone or go to the front desk. I always find it weird to pay at my table and then walk out. I want people to know I paid.Its just my personal phobia.

Can't wait to see what it's hitting for!

Antwan M.

First Watch was busy when we arrived but they got us all in within 10min. We had a party of 7 so the wait for us was pretty quick. Our waitress was amazing considering how many people we had and the amount of food/drinks we ordered. The food was very good, ambiance was enjoyable! They have a patio outside but with this Ga heat I was happy to dine inside! They offer a lot of healthy food options and even have a nice healthy juice bar!

That would be great if it was melted cheese but it isn't, it's runny egg whites.

The Egg Duel at Hash House Gulch Act I: The Calm Before the Cracks The town of Sunny Morning was still rubbing sleep from its eyes as my posse and I ambled through the saloon doors. A place known for three things: near-impossible parking, a long waiting list and hash so good it could charm the spurs off a cowboy. I always order the same dish... Parma Hash, cooked over medium because there are only two ways the kitchen could dishonor my plate: burn the base or botch the egg. I always wait for my ladies to finish ordering first, in fact I almost always insist on being the last to order. It was a party of 3 1/2 today; wife, daughter, myself and a new 5 month old foster son we just took custody of (so realistically, 3). "Parma hash, eggs over medium as I can't eat a gooey hash. She asked if runny yoke was okay, of which I gladly agreed but reiterated the no clear yuck allowed. So now, with my terms clear to the waitress: "Runny yolk, sure, but not slimy. I want over medium--firm whites, no jiggling." She tipped her hat and rode off into the kitchen mist, promising a sunrise on a plate. What came back was... not it. Not even close. Act II: The Crack Heard 'Round the Table I stared down at the egg like a gunslinger inspecting a crooked revolver. The whites glistened like dew on a tombstone, uncooked and unapologetic. I broke it open like a vault, praying for gold but finding a gelatinous betrayal. My fork recoiled. The yoke, if you could call it that, instantly merged with the clear slime and pooled across my plate like a failed heist. I could hear my sausage scream as it died far too soon (and not in my mouth). My companions, already halfway through their meals, looked on as I sat in stunned silence. I could feel the weight of sleep deprivation from night two with our new foster son pressing on my shoulders. This meal was supposed to be the oasis... the reward for surviving the parental gauntlet. Instead, it became a culinary showdown. Act III: The Final Squeeze Defeated but still in the ring, I reached for the ketchup, my last hope to mask the damage. I squeezed once. Twice. Five times. Nothing. The bottle mocked me with silence. Finally, I twisted off the lid and found the untouched safety seal. A brand-new bottle, never opened, never ready. Like a gun with no bullets when the bandits are already charging. I flagged down the waitress. She offered a rematch, but her tone and heart wasn't in it, and the clock had already called time on my appetite. My team had finished, the sun had passed high noon, and the fight was over. I surrendered with the remaining bites of my daughter's leftover pancake. Summary for the Less Theatrically Inclined The wait was decent and food usually exceptional. Sadly when they get it wrong, it's a crash landing. My usual dish came back with raw egg whites and an unopened ketchup bottle. Staff offered to fix it, but it was too late and their lack of sincerity left me questioning if my request would be out in correctly or we'd just be risking a repeat. Odds were not in my favor and the baby was now starting to stir and get upset about sitting too long. Everyone else had eaten and I was too tired to fight for round two. Final Word Couldn't eat the egg. Couldn't get the ketchup. Couldn't catch a break. One star for effort. Zero stars for execution. One extra star given because 70 to 80% of the time I can get a decent meal without anything being fixed. A duel lost not with bullets, but with runny whites and a sealed fate.

Breakfast was delicious but expensive. Would of been cheaper if i hadn't ordered the Belgian waffle. It was good irregardless though.

Brittney C.

Me and my friend decided to grab breakfast after our wonderful walk in the park. She raved about this place so I decided we should give it a try. The parking is good in the area but it's a lot of restaurants and stores so you may have to wait for a spot. We were greeted and sat down pretty quickly. A thing to note - this place gets packed so you may wound up having to wait a while. The ambience is cool - reminds you of like a bread and board type of place. My waitress was great and made great recommendations. Even as busy as it was she was not gone out of sight too long. The food - AMAZING so yummy. Everything. The drinks - they were a little tart. More on the sour side almost tasted like alcohol. Still didn't take away from the experience just won't get that drink again. I asked for lemon and water and it tasted pure and refreshing! I'm looking forward to coming again as I really enjoyed myself.

I have been to the one in North Carolina, Morrisville so I figured I would give this one a shot. I ordered the AM superfood bowl. It is the bomb! So good, nutritious and healthy overall. I also ordered the morning meditation drink which I also recommend. The attention was great like in NC. This was yesterday but I didn't do the check in. I had to come back today as I am only in town for a couple of days. I should've done the Yelp check in so had to wait like 20min for a table but once I sipped on my meditation drink, it was all worth it! I definitely recommend eating here, great choices and excellent food. 4 Stars because the chalk is incorrect "Burrito", the manager should give me a discount for catching that! read more

Brunch here is amazing! The food is delicious and the ambiance is pretty chill. It can get very busy on the weekends making it difficult to park.

This place is hit or miss.....mostly miss. Went with my mom this morning. Place only had like 10 people eating. More waiters and waitresses standing around than people eating. We both ordered eggs Benedict. My mom ordered the classic and I ordered the BLT. Took forever to get our food and when we did get it, it was lukewarm at best. I asked for my bacon and potatoes to be well done. Neither were well done. To be honest with you, I think our food was ready long before we got it and our waitress was too busy talking to other employees. I also needed a refill on my Diet Coke and it took her 10 minutes to get that for me. While I was waiting I watched our waitress stand outside the kitchen talking to other employees and then bring another order while I was sitting there with an empty glass. It doesn't take long to bring a soda to a table. To say the least I won't be back again for a while. read more

Chose this location because of it having 4 stars. But next time would definitely go to another one. It looked like there would be a long wait but we got seated very quickly. Then we waited about 30 minutes to get our food, which we ordered as soon as we sat down for quicker service. Overall the Bacon Cornbread was delicious, the mix of flavors was exquisite. The waffle was also good, the eggs were regular kind of tasteless but just plain eggs. The French toast was also delicious! The strawberries were fresh and the mix of flavors was beautiful, will definitely try again! But maybe at another location. read more

We love First Watch and have eaten at several different locations. Today at the Snellville location was an awful experience. My husband ordered the power wrap and it was wet, like he had to ring it out. It looked like soup on his plate. I ordered the traditional breakfast with eggs over easy. One yolk was right and the other was solid. The eggs nor potatoes had any seasoning on them. Same for our daughter's omelette. She ordered the works omelette with potatoes and it was just sooo bland. Oh, and the coffee tasted burnt. I usually drink my coffee black but added cream then sugar to try to get it drinkable and that didn't even work. Add the crappy service to stop it all off. Worst $65 spent in a long time. We will never return to this location ever again. One bright note, my morning meditation was delicious!! read more

Always a treat to eat here! First time at this location and I truly enjoyed it. Late breakfast/lunch.. I ordered the Healthy Turkey egg white omelette w/potatoes. You have a choice of potatoes or grits. The wait time was less than 10 min from the time she took my order. It wasn't very busy at the time I arrived which was about 12:30. This location looks a bit different from the Johns Creek location. Appears to be larger. I usually sit outside but it's cold today. So I opted to sit inside. My server was very professional and she knew the menu inside out. I noticed she worked her section very well. Every customer was given a little chit chat . I do believe her name was Tiffany. The omelette was delicious! This omelette comes with feta cheese, diced turkey, onions, tomatoes , spinach and green onions. Oh boy! . Whole grain toast with preserves- strawberry . I also asked for preserve. I asked for water instead of OJ. The water was served in glass bottle like milk bottle. Love that! So clean! Oh the potatoes are so good! They're seasoned to perfection not too salty or no seasoning at all. Just perfect. You get about 2 cup fulls which is plenty. Coming from the gym this breakfast combo was right on time. ‍ If you're in the Snellville area and looking for breakfast, brunch or lunch this is a great choice. Please be mindful they close at 2:30 PM. If I'm not mistaken they open at 6:30 or 7 AM. Oh the Healthy Turkey omelette is $10.49.... read more

I had high hopes after good reviews from friends. Let's start with positives; absolutely great service, and the Golden glow juice was phenomenal. The food? I had some issues. The shrimp and Grits came out of the kitchen so fast I couldn't believe it. But, it was greasy, yet somehow the shrimp were undercooked. I sent it back and got the avocado toast with poached eggs. You can't mess up a poached egg, right? Turns out you can. The eggs were overpoached and had a hard center. Maybe I caught them on a tough day? I'll try again and make different choices. read more

What do you do when your morning has been filled with craziness? You come here and begin your morning again. It was pretty slow for a Sunday so we were seated quickly and our waitress was at our table as soon and we sat down. QUICK TIPS: *typically packed weekends, so try to visit early. *located in a plaza, so parking can be challenging. Make sure you park in the right areas or you may be towed. Review: Our food arrived within 15 minutes after our order was placed. It was popping hot and smelled delicious! I ordered the Salmon and Roasted Vegetable Fritata with potatoes. I've never had a Fritata before but the mixture of salmon, cream cheese and chives set this Fritata on Fih-yah! The potatoes were soft and paired deliciously with the flavors in the fritata. Tip: scoop the chive drizzle up with the potatoes. It taste fantastic and gives the potatoes a tangy zing to activate those salivary glands. I also ordered a Banana Granola Pancake. If you've never visited First Watch and you're reading this, beware this pancake takes up the entire plate! It is huge and can feed 2 people easily! This pancake is my favorite menu item. The banana, and granola pair perfectly with the syrup. It's a sweet, crunchy fiesta in my mouth and I can't stop once I've started!! Such an amazing flavor combination. My girlfriend ordered the Chickchanga with potatoes and fruit! The presentation was amazing, the flavors surprising and look of satisfaction on her face made this dish worthy. This dish has a kick of spice but enough flavor to keep you going without realizing you finished. It's a unique spin of Mexican flavors and the Vera Cruz sauce completes this plate of perfection! The Salmon and Vegetable Fritata: $11.79 The Chickichanga: $10.99 The Banana Granola Pancake: $4.99 Morning Meditation: $3.99 Our total was $34.00 Definitely check out First Watch if you haven't!

I came here for a birthday brunch with my volunteer coordinator who just accepted me to volunteer for my local community. The customer service is amazing. I did not see the health score, I was just excited about it being my birthday. The bathroom was spotless. Our server was an upbeat, friendly young lady. I ordered the frittata rustica, basically it was an open faced omelet with fresh veggies, feta and parmesan cheese. I chose mixed green salad for my side, and it came with a perfectly toasted and buttered mini ciabatta bread. The atmosphere is calm, very breakfast brunchy! All I can say in summary is that I WILL BE BACK! Highly impressed. read more

The wait is definitely worth it! We had a 45 min wait but the breakfast was super amazing! I love their Belgian waffle! Everything came out hot and quick. Drinks are good too if you're looking to try something new and different. Prices are average compared to other local restaurants.

I ordered the chicken nuggets and another chicken entree from the menu. When I received my order, one was in a box and the chicken nuggets were in a paper bag. When it was time for me to go I asked for a box to put my chicken nuggets in. The reply I received was "we don't give out boxes". I was deeply puzzled. I had just spent $30 for food and couldn't get a 3 cent box to put my food in? I was told they could give me a plastic bag. I kindly accepted it and left. This is no way to treat a customer who patronizes your business. There are so many other places I could have gone. I will utilize yelp services to find other places to go. To people reading this review, I wonder how you will be treated. Hopefully better than me. I do not recommend this business! (1 Star from me )

Coffee cup stays full like they took it personally. Water stays cold and refreshed. Everyone stays friendly without hovering. If you get bad service here, look inward. Southern hospitality shows up ready to work. Food lands at a solid 4 out of 5 overall. Some hits. Some learning moments. Plenty of options waiting behind your order. Eggs score 3 out of 5.

Cheese grits score a bold 1 out of 5. Bland. Needed help. Catfish lands at 3 out of 5. Batter lacked seasoning, but being able to order catfish five minutes from home still counts.

Ambiance hits 5 out of 5. Warm. Comfortable. Smells good. Feels like a place where conversations stretch longer than planned. Bar seating without alcohol creates a welcome lane for solo diners or anyone open to talking with staff. The restaurant sits in a plaza, so people might pass it without knowing. Once they do, word spreads fast. Main Street Restaurant works for all ages. All moods. All appetites. Good food. Friendly faces. No pressure.

I have been down to the store inside for pickup at least twice while in the area and delivered countless other times. The staff were super nice the times I did go down. The layout inside was pretty chill when I went in and looked like a good place to sit down and eat if you wanted to. It's in a shopping center with plenty of parking in front usually. Having been born and raised in Hawaii, nothing is gonna compare to certain favorite spots from home when it comes to quality, flavor, and authenticity just due to having certain ingredients available right there as well (especially fresh local fish/seafood and produce). That being said, I have actually really enjoyed the plates for the most part from here. No offense to Waikikie in DeKalb, but this place definitely is a step up. Yes, I've been to the L&L in Cobb which was great also (have not been to the Mulberry/Dacula one yet). I was raised on L&L, so I expected them to be good, but as a standalone restaurant (to my knowledge) this is a satisfying establishment. When I first got to ATL there were not a lot of places offering regional dishes from Hawaii. I had to learn how to make all my favorites pretty quickly, aside from the dishes I already knew how to make. Hawaiian Kitchen in Duluth was pretty great, but I was sad that they had to rebrand after the pandemic. I was happy when this place popped up within the past couple years. They do a pretty good job! The portions are in line with what I grew up on. The mac salad is actually one of the better ones I've had - reminds me of some places on Maui and Oahu. It's just the right amount of creaminess and it's smooth. There's a hint of acidity and sweetness typical to plate lunch mac salad I grew up on and I think they add in just a little but of tuna for umami flavor but not too much to overpower it. I like it too because unlike some places there are no harshly grated carrots crunching in the mac salad when you eat it. The BBQ beef is probably my favorite dish here. It's always tender and flavorful. I prefer their house salad over the steamed cabbage and broccoli that is served here. Honestly for a bed underneath the meat I would love to see some shredded cabbage like they do in Asian restaurants back home, but that's just what I prefer and am used to. The katsu is good here but it's been hit or miss sometimes as to whether the katsu sauce gets packed which always makes me a little sad, because it's then missing some flavor. I know it's not hard to whip up katsu sauce but it's also nice to get what you order in entirety. I would like to see maybe tartar sauce and fresh lemon slices added to the fish plates also. It's traditional back home and just adds some extra flavor of course. Overall, I like their combos. I've had the kalua pig with and without cabbage, BBQ chicken, musubis, and other items. I would like to try more items but I usually stick to the beef and mac salad or kalua pig. Yes, I know it's probably not coming out of an imu, but honestly it's just a great place to grab a filling lunch or dinner. When you're so far from home, sometimes it's nice to just grab a familiar favorite on the nights you can't or don't feel like cooking. I will definitely continue to support this business in 2026 and I hope they stay around for a long while!

I have been eating at First Watch in Snellville since it opened. I have enjoyed not only the food, but the staff as well. I am a bit of a pain to a lot of restaurants due to my picky eating habits and food sensitivities. I order a tri-athelete veggie omelet (extra veggies added), potatoes that are very brown with a side of mayo, and gluten free browned toast, (GF has to be toasted numerous times to get it brown). Todays breakfast was cooked by a young man, Nathaniel who cooked everything perfectly! What a treat it was to eat such delicious food cooked exactly as I requested. I appreciate the yummy healthy food and great customer service. Thank you Nathaniel for your talent as a chef and attention to detail. It was my honor to meet you. Thank you Caroline for your fantastic service today. read more
