    Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos
    Scher S.

    The breakfast tacos and pancakes were awesome! The service was wonderful and everyone works as a team and genuinely happy to be there! Nice breakfast spot!

    Solo morning drive, and I'm craving pancakes. I was a little concerned when I noticed they offer multigrain pancakes instead of regular buttermilk pancakes, but surely you cannot tell the difference. The service was quick and effective; therefore, no wait. FW is newly built, and the atmosphere is fresh and inviting.

    Hands down one of the best brunch experiences I've had at First Watch in Carnes. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented--and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. The Blueberry Lemon Cornbread was a standout right away: warm, moist, and perfectly balanced between sweet and citrusy. The Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast was decadent in the best way--soft, rich, and topped with fresh strawberries and just the right amount of sweetness. Definitely a must-order if you love indulgent brunch dishes. On the savory side, the Skillet Potatoes were crispy, well-seasoned, and a great complement to everything on the table. The Steak and Feta Hash was hearty and packed with flavor--tender steak, perfectly cooked potatoes, fluffy eggs, and that salty feta bringing it all together. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. This location absolutely delivered across the board. If you're in the Carnes area and looking for a top-tier breakfast or brunch spot, First Watch is a no-brainer. I'll definitely be back!

    This place is always busy. I recommend getting in line on the website to avoid a long wait. The employees are super friendly. I got the traditional breakfast and a cold brew coffee and my husband got the Barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl. We really enjoyed our brunch. This is one of our favorite places to get brunch.

    No complaints about the newest location of First Watch! We put our name on the waitlist via the app & waited under five minutes once arriving. The servers were attentive but not overly intrusive & the food was as delicious as I remember from other locations. I loved seeing someone clean crumbs off the chairs & sweep the floor when a table finished. It's attention to detail & cleanliness such as this that will keep me coming back. I also love that they can always make my favorite item that is no longer on the menu. Well done, First Watch! You're a chain that exceeds the rest.

    The First Watch at Carnes Crossroads is, in my estimation, about one-third larger than the one on Main Street. And that's good, because these places fill up each day. I had the farmhouse hash, which was superb. The service was also superb; we were greeted warmly at the front door and nicely served throughout our meal. The decor of this First Watch looks great and feels comfortable. I highly recommend visiting!

    Great spot for morning food. Coffee sucks and service is lacking But nice atmosphere and decor. Would suggest sourcing their coffee from a local roaster to level up!

    As with many Travel Channel recommendations, this place did not live up to the hype that they had…read moreearned. They are so busy that basic service is spotty. The facility was clean and well stocked. The quality of food is not worth the crowding or wait time that so many are subjected. As a single person party, I chose to find a seat at the bar. It was not overly large and was monitored by 2 servers. I was fairly quickly addressed to get my drink and I ordered a starter without prompting due to the number of patrons. Another sat beside me but she was overlooked for quite a bit of time, finally having to ask for a menu. Once my starter arrived, the okra basket, I was ignored. The okra was ok but nothing special, standard premade restaurant supply brand of thickish breading that was intermittently soft or crunchy. I was 1/4 way through the basket before I had a chance to request cutlery and seeing that the servers had started to focus only on the person next to me that they had initially overlooked, I also requested my entree. I had reviewed the menu prior to arrival and decided on my order in advanced. Unfortunately it was not available on the brunch menu and lunch was not an available option. I should have asked for the check at that time but selected an omelette instead. While waiting and consuming my starter, I requested a menu draft to be told it was unavailable too. The suggested alternative was decent. My entree arrived about 20 minutes later. It was dry, both the eggs and protein. I was able to request and receive a sauce in a short period of time. My refill did not need to be requested but it was incorrect so I did have to ask for another. I know the staff is most likely good, the popularity produced by the Travel Channel keeps them too busy and complacency is prevalent. I had hoped that the publicity did not change the uniqueness of the menu but I will trust my intuition in the future and continue to avoid these types of restaurants.

And I'm happy to report that it exceeded my expectations! The slice of pie was HUGE (very tall) and it had some kind of a sauce/cheese combo on top of the tomatoes that was fantastic.

My husband and I also shared the following: cinnamon rolls, salted caramel brownie and a white chocolate raspberry bread pudding muffin. All were huge, rich in flavor and very satisfying. I already can't wait to come back again! :)

Because if I need it and it's not there I'll come find you. :) The filling was the best filling I've ever had. The baked portion, too. And I grew up enjoying the bakeries of NYC and the area. What made it so good? It was not a disgustingly sweet, gelatinous blob. It had what I could only call a "natural" style filling. Not gelatinous. Not super sweet. One bite and you'll know that this is the way it's really supposed to be. It will ruin your enjoyment of all other blueberry danishes. Like I said, don't order one. :) Bon appétit.

My husband and I came in for dinner and sat at the bar. We started with the cheese fritters & bacon jam. We initially thought the bacon jam was missing, but the fritters were great so we just kept eating them! When we got down to the last one, we both realized the "odd looking fritter" in the bowl that we were both avoiding, was the jam (oops!). It was a similar color and shape to the fritters but we both just laughed about avoiding it. For my entree, I was sold on the "award-winning" shrimp & grits that were featured on the Today show (as per their menu). Surprising that this meal made it that far as it didn't taste like anything special to me. It was not bad but very basic/plain; so basic that it felt like something was missing. It was the same case with my husband's meatloaf. However, I would still recommend checking this place out and deciding for yourself if you like it here ;)
