We went for Mother's Day brunch (which was just a few minutes ago), expecting long waits and chaos, but somehow this place ran more smoothly than Chick-fil-A on a Monday morning. The service was unbelievably efficient -- every table was moving, food came out quickly, and the staff never looked overwhelmed despite the packed crowd. You could tell there was real leadership and organization behind everything. What made the experience even better was meeting the owner's mom and sister. They were both incredibly sweet, warm, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the family atmosphere trickles down through the entire restaurant because everyone treats guests with kindness and care, rather than making you feel rushed. GREAT JOB MOM! The food was amazing, the energy was great, and the hospitality honestly stood out the most. Definitely one of the best Mother's Day brunch experiences we've had. read more

The restaurant changes personalities depending on the time: early in the day it's "Morning Shift" and serves breakfast. In the evenings they light up and switch their sign to "Late Shift" and serve mostly pizza and wings. Since I was there at night, I got the 10 inch Carnivore pizza which had lots of chunks of meat on it. The sauce was good with a tang. And the crust was the thick variety but soft with a nice chew. The flavors were good and it was freshly cooked and I enjoyed it. The seating includes tables of various sizes including long large tables for a group. They also have both seating and a large covered patio that can be closed or opened depending on the weather. read more

Morning Shift - Sandwiches Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

Really enjoyed this restaurant! Came on a Saturday morning and the restaurant was not too busy. Everyone was very friendly and I was explained the process of ordering at the counter as soon as I opened the door to the restaurant. I ordered the French toast breakfast with scrambled eggs and cheese, and bacon. The French toast was really good! They give you three very large pieces of French toast. Thoroughly enjoyed! The scrambled eggs and cheese were actually pretty good. Could've used a little salt, but otherwise very good. And the bacon comes with two thin strips, not cooked too hard, but good. I ordered my toddler, the kids meal with eggs, bacon, fruit, toast, and apple juice. My daughter enjoyed the fruit and the eggs. Really good portion for the price of the kids meal. I also ordered a vanilla latte. It was really good and only about five dollars. The food came out really quick. There was an employee who checked on us several times to make sure that we didn't need anything else. The restaurant wasn't too crowded. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be back! read more

Morning Shift - Owl Breakfast 3.0 - Sandwiches Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

We decided to skip our normal breakfast place to try Morning Shift. We went in a Saturday around 10am and it wasn't busy. The restaurant is a good size, very well lit and clean. We were greeted at the door and were told we could order at the counter and then take a seat or sit first while we decided what we wanted. I ordered the GF banana pancakes with eggs and chicken sausage, my husband ordered the chorizo biscuits and gravy with eggs. We also got orange juice and a coffee. We sat at a 2 seater high top. There is chatter in the restaurant but it's not loud at all. One of the staff workers brought over silverware after we sat and shortly after our juce came out. There is a sink outside of the restrooms which is really convenient and thoughtful for you to wash your hands if you don't need to use the restroom. Our food came out and it presented very well but everything was cold. I thought it was tasty but it was cold. I don't know if I would go back, if I do o would definitely say something about the food temperature. I normally don't like a lot of stuff on my pancakes but the bananas, strawberries with compote and granola weren't to overpowering. But the fruit was cold which didn't help the already cold pancakes. We spent about $45 for the both of us, definitely too much to not be satisfied. read more

Food is good. No wait staff which is ok. Cost comparable for what you get. I've been twice and liked it very much for Brunch.

If I had only one word to describe this place it would be "overhyped". The inside has a cute aesthetic, which I appreciate, however the food honestly was just not that good. Everything tasted pretty bland, nothing special. The service was not great, they brought out the food of my party before mine so early that they finished eating before I got my food. AND the waiter brought out the wrong order so they had to completely remake my order. read more

Morning Shift - Brah, get the carnitas hash. What are you even doing with your life?! - Sandwiches Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

First time trying really wanted to love it. First bite of potatoes mmmm yummy. Grits were meh not terrible but not the best atleast not grainy. Biggest disappointment with too fluffy Greek omelette. Too much egg and one piece of chicken and like 2 cut up pieces. Would try something different next time but this wasn't it. May be better eating inside and when it's hot hot. read more

I had a 3 hour break between my classes so I went to check this place out. There are two sides. I walked in on the wrong side and it took me a minute to realize it. The menu is bomb. The service was great. Very friendly staff. The place was clean. The food was delicious. The carnitas burrito is the star of the show. It is full of flavor! The short rib grilled cheese was good too. The soup was tasty. It needed a little salt. I will revisit. read more

I'll start with we came on a busy Saturday morning. The restaurant is cute and has modern decor. You order at the counter and the hosts will hold a seat for you if you ask. They do bring you the food and check to see if you need anything else. The restaurant is very loud between people and the open kitchen noise. The food was ok. I would say average. I tried the gluten free banana pancakes and they were pretty good. I'm used to the texture of gf bread. They add banana, strawberry and granola on top which helps with that gf taste (iykyk) It's quite pricey.. $34 for a meal and 2 coffees. Add on the tip that you pay before you even get served and we were in for a $40 average breakfast. This is becoming quite the norm for many places. We may return if in the area, but we actually prefer First Watch. read more

When I looked at the menu, I was hoping to find a new breakfast place. The only thing I was disappointed about was that the girl who takes your order didn't even say "good morning" or look at your face when taking your order. The food was tasteless and cold; the potatoes seemed boiled and colorless; the omelet was tasteless with a chunk of bacon left over. Very unpleasant, and overpriced for the service and quality of the food. read more

My wife enjoyed her Carnitas hash, added fried egg. Although she did say it wasn't balanced properly. Too much meat and not enough of the rest of the items. I got the plant-based breakfast. Instead of toast I got a grilled cheese. It was yummy, very simple. I would come back, maybe. I do appreciate that they have vegan options. With one soda it was about $36. A little pricey I think. But 4 stars for the vegan options, friendliness of the staff and cleanliness of the restaurant read more

Food was good, service not so much! Upon walking in there's a menu on the wall, you order and sit down. We were greeted as we walked in, ordering was easy, get a number and have a seat. Beverages are self service. But we were never given cups, when asked for them they were trying to charge me again. Food came out pretty quick, food looked delicious, nice size portions & tasted good until we got to the breakfast potatoes which were cold and than pulling out a long black hair from the omelet was the end of the meal. Ambience was comfortable, nice spacing in tables, kinda too cold for us. - bring in a sweater if going. read more

Very gimmicky! There are two doors for "morning shift" and "night shift" with little signage. The servers spend so much time redirecting people to use the correct door and how to order ahead. The food is very bland- over priced. Better food at ihop. The servers are very attentive. They're probably the only positive thing about this place . read more

I am the FedEx driver who usually delivers to this business. What impresses me about this place, besides the great food and service, is the opportunity given to the young people who work here. My daughter has been working here for a little over two years. Providing such an opportunity for young people is something very rare nowadays. This place helps by offering a safe environment and valuable life experience. I highly recommend this place not only for the food and service but also for the example these young people are receiving--an experience they will carry with them for life. L. Reisemberger read more

We were just looking for breakfast places that would offer a variety of vegan options in addition to a variety of unique omnivore options. Morning Shift does a fantastic job of checking both of those boxes. It was about 10:00 when we arrived on Sunday & the atmosphere was very calm: soft music playing in the background, & a kind & attentive staff. The dining area was clean & neat - as soon as a table was empty the crew jumped in to clean it. The owner/manager & other staff checked in on us throughout the experience & wished us well as we left. We look forward to a return trip! read more

Morning Shift - BLT with egg and tater tot's. A lovely mustard sauce to boot! - Sandwiches Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

Really liked the breakfast menu, plenty of great choices. Coffee was good with plenty of seating room for large parties.

I was there mid morning last Sunday. I quickly realized why this is a happy busy little place. First met by the extroverted greeter/host followed by a very pleasant cashier. It was kinda fun sitting closest to the door to witness the other peoples reaction to the greeter. The breakfast quesadilla was better than expected. The fruit cup was priced about what I anticipated. The food servers were all quite competent and cheery too. Highly reco this breakfast place if you are on that side of town. You just might leave with a full belly and a smile to start your day. read more

We're in search of breakfast and found this little treasure. There are so many options, and they have vegan options if you have dietary issues. Plenty of associates on the floor if you need a refill or just a suggestion on what to order. Also, I'm over the moon with the patio. Some places are confining yet having a patio gives a feeling of openness. read more

Win, win for everyone! read more

A "comfy-chic" local spot with a local owner who grew up down the street, serving up a wide variety of truly fresh and delicious offerings, with sincerely friendly staff and great service. I felt welcomed and satisfied as a customer. Will definitely go back again, maybe for lunch today! Food - Excellent challah French toast! 4 slices per order, with cinnamon butter and maple syrup included. The bread had a very nice thin crispy crust that is lightly caramelized, with a pillowy inside which is not too light. Moist but not soggy French toast. Simple yet satisfying. I also got a side of eggs, cooked over medium, which was nicely salted without being rubbery or runny in the whites. The yolk was more runny than I liked (I wanted a custardy yolk), but this is probably my fault, as I did not specify exactly what I meant by "over medium", and this is how most people make "over medium". Average/reasonable pricing for the qualify of food served - see photo of menu. Ambience - It was a nice spacious dining area and overall seemed clean. For a new place, not on the main road, at 8am (weekday) when most people are in the office, this place was quiet as expected. The lighting was relaxing and inviting. Had it not been for work, I would have loved to dine in and enjoyed the ambience. Service - While checking out the menu on the window, deciding whether I should go in, a friendly staff who was arriving for her shift said "you should come in, the food is very fresh!" That convinced me. The chef took my order so I didn't have to wait and someone else rang me up when they were ready. In the meantime, the chef (who may also be the owner, judging by the story on the website) also offered me free large cup of coffee while I waited. So generous and considerate. Little gestures like this is what makes people feel valued and would make me choose this place over places like Panera or Marlow's Tavern any day! Then again, of course we can't compare local gems like this to these chain restaurants. Thanks to the Morning Shift for a wonderful start to my day! read more

Maybe our expectations were too high but all things considered this place was pretty average. It was clean and airy, though the music was a little loud for holding conversations (though we may just be too old... I'm sure it's fine for the local college kids nearby). You order and pay up front (meaning you give a tip before anything has happened, but you tip anyways because you're a good person). I got Jayne's French Toast. The bacon was dry and a little dark but the flavor was nice. The French toast had a nice texture but was a bit bland for me... maybe that's why they add fruity pebbles. My husband got the Cicilian Omelette. The omelette itself was pretty good, the hash browns were a bit mushy, and the toast was pretty mediocre. All in all, not a bad experience, but not great either. read more

Cute place that offers counter service to order your food. They had a lot of options for meat eaters or vegans. They offer self-serve drink options except for their alcohol options. Ample seating and s lounge area with couches for a big group. I had the owl breakfast that basically gives you a taste of everything. I had bacon, eggs, and French toast. The toast came with cinnamon butter, which was delicious. Food came quickly, which is good for breakfast food. It was simple but delicious, and I'll definitely go back and try other options. read more

I stumbled across Morning Shift by accident when I was looking for a place to meet some girlfriends for brunch. We ended up dining somewhere else, but I was intrigued so I grabbed some take away this morning to enjoy at home. MS is in a shopping center. There were not many parking spots left, but I was able to park without issue. The restaurant itself was pretty empty. Understandably so since they just opened. I placed my order online via toast and when I arrived it was not quite ready. I was offered a coffee while I waited which was very, very sweet. Service and staff were 5/5! The inside was bright with high ceilings. Plenty of seating, too. We tried the following: Fruity Pebbles French Toast ($8) Sasquatch Burrito ($15) Carnitas Burrito ($14) Shrimp & Grits ($19) Side of Grits ($5) Chia Pudding ($10) The carnitas burrito was the star of the show for everyone! It was spicy and full of flavor. The avocado and pickled onions (served on the side) were a fantastic addition. I just wish there were more than 2 tiny slivers of onion. Had I only ordered this item my review would have been a 5/5! Seeing the fruity pebbles french toast on the menu made the child in me jump for joy. Overall, it tasted good, but was far from perfect. The french toast was not soaked enough so it was just bread with fruity pebbles adhered to it. I had maybe one bite that had enough of the custard, otherwise the rest was really dry. I also think putting the cinnamon butter on the french toast for a take out order is a miss. It obviously melted and was not very pleasing to look at when opening the container. I think popping the cinnamon butter in a ramekin for take out orders would be much better! The sasquatch burrito I didn't receive, so I'm not sure what I was eating. There was no steak or chorizo, just regular sausage. I don't like regular sausage so I was super disappointed about this - as the primary reason I was drawn to MS was this steak burrito. I am not sure if the menu on their website is wrong or if they prepared it incorrectly. Perhaps adding the description to toast would also be a solution for any menu discrepancies. The shrimp and grits dish was a hard no. I really really regret this one. The grits were completely lost in an ocean of cream. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce - which the dish was drowning in - was so off putting. Completely lacked seasoning of any sort and tasted only of cream. It was served with two halves of garlic toast which they placed in the container so they were - you guessed it - soaked in cream. If only the french toast had the same sort of treatment.. The side of grits were underwhelming and were not seasoned. Adding salt made them edible, but nothing to write home about. The container was also barely half full which was annoying for $5. The chia seed pudding is actually a parfait with fruit sauce and granola on top. The "pudding" was not the right consistency and should be a much more loose than it was. It was also pretty sad for $10 as it was in a cup and more than half was fruit sauce and granola. I would definitely skip this one, too. MS just opened a week ago so there are still some kinks to iron out. We will likely try them again at some point, but I'll probably just stick with the carnitas burrito which was amazing! Stop on by and give them a shot! The people working really are lovely! read more

Nice vegan options! I hope they add more vegan to the menu. I had the vegan pancakes and sausage.

I'm only giving this place a three out of five because I believe the staff had an off day, struggling to keep up with everyone in the restaurant and the constant stream of DoorDash orders. My family came for brunch on New Year's Day. The place was super clean and cozy. Loved the decor and how spaced out the tables were, giving everyone elbow room. We ordered quickly and found a seat quickly. The service was a toss up. It took a while to get our food. When we got it, one was the wrong order and another was cold. The avocado slices that came with the plant based plate were hard, the fruity pebbles French toast was cold the first time and undercooked the second. Still, I could tell staff was giving it their all, incredibly polite and correcting any mistake with a smile. I won't write it off just yet! I'll be back. read more
