    This is the third time we've been here and the first time I've left a review…read more We were excited to visit again because we don't often make it to the Orem area. When we arrived and sat down, we were greeted by Joe telling us that "House rules, you're not allowed to order the same item". Lol. Love that guy! We both ordered Denver omelets, one without onions,extra mushrooms, French toast, and grits and one without mushrooms, hash browns, and pancakes. First off, the pancakes were amazing! They're light, had crispy edges, and had a wonderful flavor. But the best thing was it was in the shape of little donuts, which was a nice surprise. Our entrees came but were somehow got switched. We didn't realize it at first but both were still good. Unfortunately, my wife put Chalula on hers and I put Tobasco on mine and we don't like each other's choice of condiments. The other unfortunate thing was that I had an eggshell in my omelet. Even though we had these misfortunes you can't hide the flavor of these dishes and they certainly don't skimp on toppings. My grits were too sweet today. If it's too sweet for me, it must've been really sweet. The only other criticism I saw was that they were filling the syrup bottles from large Log Cabin jugs. They also were using Idahoan shredded potatoes from a large carton. I can understand the potatoes but how great would it be to have freshly made syrup. Still a great experience and they are still one of the best breakfast places on the state.

    Took my family to Joe's and it was so worth it! As we were walking down the sidewalk looking for…read morethe entrance - Joe, himself, called out to us to come on over because he was waiting to hold the door. This warm, friendly welcome set the tone for the whole experience. Joe stopped by and told us the "rules". Everyone orders something different and we all share. My daughters both ordered waffles but one got it in a combo so she could follow the rules. I got the breakfast burrito with Texas sausage & bacon. My husband got the eggs & diced ham with a side of biscuits and gravy. My son got the French Dip because you can order breakfast or lunch at 10 am. Everyone ate a good portion if not all of their food. It was good. We will definitely be back. For the food but more for the service!

The real surprise though was the Million Dollar Potatoes -- they were seriously amazing and probably my favorite thing we tried. Also wanted to give a special shout-out to the wonderful lady at the front desk (I believe her name was Sherry). She was incredibly patient, friendly, and helpful while getting us seated, which made the whole experience even better. The food was great, the ambience was really nice and relaxing, and the service made us feel very welcome. We'll definitely be coming back again

    Good Intentions, Unmemorable Breakfast First Watch has a…read moremenu that sounds exciting, and that is precisely the problem. I have visited this location more than once hoping the kitchen would eventually catch up to it. It never has. What you get each time is a menu full of promise and a plate that falls short of it. The ambience is clean and simple, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the menu reads beautifully. That makes the execution gap all the more frustrating. The bacon arrived nowhere near the crispy I requested. It happens, so I asked for another order. It came back identical to the first. At some point that stops being a mistake and starts being the kitchen not listening, or simply not caring enough to get it right. Crispy bacon is not a complicated ask. The strawberry tres leches French toast sounded like the star of the menu. Challah bread, fresh glazed strawberries, dulce de leche, whipped cream, gingerbread cookie crumbles. On paper it is a game changer. On the plate it was dry and under-sauced. The dulce de leche was hardly present, the fruit felt sparse, and the crumbles were barely present. With a name and ingredient list like that, dry should never be the word that comes to mind. We spent $36 for two, which is standard for this type of place and not the issue. The issue is that the food did not back up the promise of the menu. The staff deserves credit and the concept is solid. But a kitchen that cannot crisp bacon on the second attempt or deliver on its signature dish is going to lose people. This one lost me.
