    Inside. Seats about 70?

    Ambiance. Energetic. PACKED. Bright and open. Service. Snobbish. Impersonal. Annoyed. Rushed. F&B. Delicious. Huge servings. Filling. Captions say more. Of note. Lot parking. Loos clean and stocked. Overall. Good food, but ALWAYS FEEL RUSHED.

    This place was the best place to grab breakfast. In the last 8 months the service has went downhill and the food sucks, take your business somewhere else.

    Waiting to be seated at a favorite!  If you're looking for a fantastic brunch - this will hit the spot!

    Always one of my favorite places to dine! The noise level and wait time can be an issue but aside from that, always great food, accommodating to allergies, and clean!

    We wanted to take the babies out to eat some breakfast this morning. I suggested First Watch because I really liked the other location. We saved a spot in line on the website. We were seated immediately and they helped us get some high chairs as well. We were able to move the bench back in order to fit both high chairs. They also have boostet seats as an option. Our waiter was super nice and gave us a kids menu. When I ordered the pancake, I was not expecting a massive pancake! This pancake was the size of the plate and the kids only ate a quarter of it. They are only 11 months old. I ordered the Floridian French Toast and my husband did as well. The jam that comes with it is so delicious. They both had so much fruit all other the french toast. My father in law got the traditional breakfast. We were going to let the babies try the potatoes, but they do have a little spice on them from the pepper. My father in law said they were really good though. Also, they had some unsweetened blackberry tea that they said was good. Overall, the service was great and the food was delicious. The restaurant is pretty loud, but kid friendly. I was actually happy because people couldn't really hear my babies screetching. We will definitely come back again.

    This was my first time eating here and I have to say every bite was worth the price......The service was great and I will be back for more!

    I can't say enough good things about this place. The food was delicious service great in a nice and pleasant atmosphere. My wife had the avocado toast and loved it, and I had the works omelet and had so much food I could not finish it. We hadn't gone out for breakfast for a while and this was definitely a treat. Can't wait to go back

    Went to First Watch on Saturday, November 30 for breakfast and the food was not that great. They were busy but we were sat right away as the hostess was very accommodating . We asked for a booth but it needed to be wiped down. When the hostess asked the busboy to wipe it down, he visibly was upset and angry as he snatched his towel and gave us very mean look. He must have been having a bad morning but he should not have been displaying those manners to good paying customers. Next, it took at least 10 minutes before our waitress acknowledged us, we were about to leave when she came over so we decided to stay as we were famished. We ordered immediately as we didn't know how long she would take after we ordered coffee. To our dismay, my food came out first and my husband's food came out 5 minutes later. We like to eat together so I waited for his food to come out before I ate but as you know, that's a lifetime for eggs in which they did get cold. I ordered the traditional breakfast and the eggs were scrambled hard when I requested the to be scrambled very soft, and the potatoes were burnt. When I asked for more potatoes, my waitress said they were all like that but that's a lie as I seen other meals come out and the potatoes were cooked to perfection. My husband ordered the trifecta breakfast and the pancake was lack luster. Needless to say I will not go back to this First Watch.

    Cute little brunch place, I've been here a couple times and I usually opt for something sweet, but today I decided to try a summer seasonal brisket hash and it was pretty good. My friend got strawberry tres leches french toast and that looked so delicious. I think sweet is definitely the way to go here. The drinks are delicious and the service is good :) I've never had to wait a super long time to be seated, so you can forsure just pop in if you're nearby! The best thing on the menu is the million dollar bacon, so much so that everyone at my table (including me) got their own order haha.

    I've been to First Watch in multiple cities now and it never disappoints. Good service, good clean decor and restaurant, and good food. This time I had the French toast with million dollar bacon and a healthy but good tasting kale juice. Everything was fresh and delicious. Prices were good

    Jeremy N.

    Amazing food! Call ahead though if you can, because this place is always jammed! We've been here a few times to meet up with some friends. Their pancakes, breakfast tacos, and french toast are absolutely delicious. They have some pretty good iced coffee here too. Like I said above though, make sure to call ahead though because this location is really busy. It's on Hall Road, so that's probably why!

    So little chorizo didn't notice that it was there.
    Rob B.

    Service was good. The eggs Benedict white was runny so another was made then the yoke was less runny, but doable. The Chickichanga read so good that I ordered a take out for the next day. It had enough chicken in it, but the chorizo was essentially unnoticeable. I don't recall the other dine in breakfast item. It was more conservative. We are on the bubble about future visits.

    Birthday breakfast with my son and he remembered this restaurant along Hall Road in Sterling Heights. They have very unique menu items and also have quite a selection of smoothies. My son ordered off of the fall menu options and his meal was called Modern Croquet Madame which was Challah bread griddled with melted Cheddar and Monterey Jack, fresh tomato and crispy bacon, then topped with a cage-free sunny-side up egg, Parmesan cream sauce and fresh herbs. Served with lemon-dressed organic mixed greens. I ordered the smoked salmon and roasted vegetable frittata and asked for it to be made with egg whites which was a small additional charge. The frittata was made with Wild Alaska Smoked Sockeye Salmon, house-roasted shallots and tomatoes topped with Parmesan, a chive cream drizzle and fresh herbs. Served with ciabatta toast and lemon-dressed organic mixed greens. We shared a bowl of the butternut squash bisque soup and it was very tasty with definitely a fall taste to it. Everything was very tasty and the service was great.

The decor is chic and modern, with a bright, welcoming vibe. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive. Even the manager stopped by to chat and later came to say goodbye, which added such a personal touch. When my family and I arrived, we were seated immediately. We tried three different entrées to share: - Salmon Burger ($19): Served with crispy fries on the side, this burger came with coleslaw, tomato slices, and a spicy sauce that really made the salmon pop. The patty was thick, flavorful, and satisfying. Honestly, it was large enough to share if you're not super hungry. - Love O' Pistachio Pancakes ($17): This is a must-order if you love pistachio. Three fluffy pancakes are layered with chopped pistachios, topped with a scoop of creamy gelato, and drizzled with pistachio cream. It sounds heavy, but the sweetness is well-balanced. Personally, I thought it was decadent, yet not overwhelming. - Brioche Sandwich ($14): For something savory, this was a winner. A buttery croissant-style brioche filled with prosciutto cotto, egg, and melted Gruyère cheese. It comes with a light side salad and a small cup of bacon jam for dipping the sandwich. The salty-sweet combo was delicious. While you're there for brunch, definitely try the mimosa. It's light, crisp, and not overly sweet. Overall, Kejsi's food presentation, flavors, and service all shine. It's a spot I'd happily return to.

The loaded fries were trashed, pretty much fries with a bunch of sour cream on top, not sure if they got confused in the kitchen and doubled the sour cream but there was absolutely no cheese on there. The only dish we actually loved was the ribs and shrimp dish from the specials menu. Our server was nowhere to be found, so service could improve a lot! Overall not sure we'd come back.
