As a vegetarian, to have options that were so considerate was absolutely amazing. The waiters were always great and this place is so popular during the week. I made it very clear to the waiter that I'm vegetarian and he was great about being really honest about what can and can't be made vegetarian from the menu. I came twice and the first time I ordered the tomato bisque with grilled cheese as well as the vegetarian option from the weekly specials. Both were incredible, but I was unable to finish the main after having the bisque which was surprisingly filling. If you're vegetarian in Cartersville, there is always at minimum, one vegetarian option here and they are unusually a unique dish that tastes incredible. I also recommend trying their cream sodas. I don't know if I'd get it again, but it was definitely a lot of fun to try. They are not as fizzy as I expected so be warned, but the taste is delicious.

We sat in the main dining area when something from the ceiling started dripping on us. In addition, the music is much too loud if you are trying to carry on a conversation. Very interesting memorabilia, but that is about the only selling point. Whoever the owner is appears to be giving a nod to the Jim Crow laws in a political way. The bathrooms show "Democrats only" and "Republicans only", and the whole vibe is pro Republican. Most of us have political opinions, but it seems very short sighted of this business to make it so blatant. We will never come back, and I've talked to a number of people who feel the same way. There are much better restaurants in the area whose owners don't interject politics into your dining experience.

While the staff was friendly, their concern for safe food handling practices were nonexistent. There were no gloves, no handwashing and no concern for hygiene as they dug their bare hands into a Sara Lee burger bun bag and plated up a burger patty that'd been sitting in lukewarm water and slapped a piece of American cheese on top of it. It was like getting served by a toddler putting together play food in their make believe kitchen. I was truly astonished. Like I said, service was kind and country friendly, but that alone can't be the reason to keep this counter service spot in business. The food quality and safety was questionable and the food itself tasted worse than I'd expect prison food to taste like. At the end of the meal, I glanced and saw the health score and if I recall, their score was in the 70s. I've since looked at their health score history and see they have no intent in changing behaviors of cleanliness, as they've been repeat offenders of improper holding food temperature, cross contamination, and use of open container beverages among food prep areas. What can you say? You get what you pay for, I guess.

At most places, I feel like the mashed potatoes aren't buttery enough, but they were delicious! I usually hate mashed potatoes with skin/chunks but this was so good that I didn't even care. The flounder was amazing. I'm a picky eater so I was nervous about the garnishes on it, but it was half the best part!

Literally the BEST million dollar bacon I've had in the Atlanta! The thing I LOVE about First Watch…read moreis the fact that their food and refreshments are fresh. They have fresh squeezed juice that is a must try when you go. I received great service from the employees at this location. The establishment is very clean and seems to pass majority, if not, all health and safety requirements. The restaurant is in a plaza, so, there is plenty of parking that is convenient for you. I believe the hours are only until 2pm, and, they tend to bring in a large crowd. Therefore, I advise planning on getting here no later than 12:30, so you have an ample amount of time to be seated and enjoy your food Speaking of food, I would say, for the most part, our dishes were delicious. As I said, the food is fresh so you walk away not feeling overstuffed if you wish to indulge in a lot of food (which I recommend ) The only feedback I have is the Carne Asada tacos lacked a little flavor. Not the entire taco as a whole, but the meat itself- I was able to tell when I tried this dish. I am, shower, very particular with my Carne Asada you have to put the perfect amount of seasoning and the right kind of seasoning along with cooking it a certain way to get a good asada. My favorite course, was the bacon, along with the farmhouse bowl. It was the perfect blend of meat, potato, herbs, & fresh eggs. I added arugula to throw on some extra veggies to my dish and it definitely enhanced it in the best way Overall, First Watch is a staple and I highly recommend you take a visit!

The food came out really fast and was an average portion. There were people who lunch and older couples enjoying their food. Service was very pleasant as I asked to move to a table with an outlet. Surprisingly they only have one table in the dining room with access to an outlet. This isn't a good place to work for an extended time. Overall, lots of options for breakfast, brunch and lunch. They do serve cocktails which I'll try on another visit.

You would think that it would be the other way around. The drive-thru has some gnarly potholes, and while to some, the yellowing walls, signage & general state of deterioration might be endearing, proof that the restaurant has stood the test of time, this place desperately needs a good polishing. The sausage patty wasn't even the diameter of a Coke can, so there was way more biscuit than sausage, while the "steak" (pretty much a breaded & fried ground beef patty) actually matched the size of the biscuit. At $1.45 & $1.75, respectively, for a *small* hashbrown triangle (about the size of my index finger, and I don't have large hands) & cup of grits, I certainly won't be ordering those again. Without the aid of my home air fryer, the biscuits are no longer crispy and pillowy, but rather soft and doughy, signifying that large batches are made in advance and kept in a warming oven. My order was pretty simple and should have been ready within minutes, but instead I had to wait about 10 minutes in the drive-thru. With that kind of wait, I would expect a freshly baked biscuit, or at least one that had been freshly toasted (see above). Burger Inn used to be one of my favorite breakfasts in Woodstock, but like so many restaurants, the prices are keeping up with inflation, and their quality is declining. It makes me sad that a locally owned establishment has fallen from glory to mediocrity.

I went in, ordered at the counter, sat down and waited about ten minutes for my order. The chicken was a little overcooked and could use some seasoning. The crinkle fries were crisp but just were not hitting and I like the crinkle style. The toast was properly cooked but was limp. Ok Guthries is a known tradition, people like, but it is not for me.
