This is usually a GOOD First Watch, but unfortunately this time we experienced some issues…read more We walked up at about 10:00AM to come get some breakfast on a Sunday morning, but realized there was a 40min wait. We decided to wait it out, but we ended up waiting longer than 40mins. I know that the employees can't control when customers get done with their food, but for a good 15 minutes about 5 tables sat vacant while dirty, as they could have cleaned those tables and got the waiting parties seated. Me and my grandmother both love the lemon ricotta pancakes. No matter what day or time it is, they always hit the spot. You can tell that they are made from scratch, as they are not rubbery. The thought of ricotta in a pancake can turn some people away, but all it really does is adds delicacy (makes the pancake tender (if that makes sense)). They usually have soft scrambled eggs, but today they were a bit more of a hard scramble and had trouble cutting a bite with a fork. The bacon this time was so hard that it wouldn't really bend like normal bacon would. I would have rather waited a couple more minutes for some better bacon. They do have a drink called the "Pineapple Express" that is always good. I can't really describe the flavor, but I recommend you try it. You'll have to taste for yourself! As a summary, this First Watch is usually great, but this time it was a miss. I wish that they would be more consistent with the quality of the food AND the service, as some servers act like they don't want to be there while others are great.

We brought it up to the waitress who apologized but didn't get us the pitcher. Not really a big deal. I had the chile chorizo omelette. Based on its ingredients, I expected more flavor. It was fine, but not a good as it could have been. My husband got the chickichanga, and the smoked chicken carried that dish. It was pretty good. Overall I was underwhelmed by the place, but the French toast does look delicious so we are willing to give it another shot.

The restaurant is broken up into two sections, a smaller section in the front and a larger area in the back that more comfortably seats larger groups. They also have a back patio but that was closed due to the weather. They had spring menu specials for drink and food, but we stuck with the regular menu. We started off with lattes, caramel latte for him and a teddy bear latte for me. I went with the breakfast plate with turkey sausage, and he got the French toast sandwich with turkey sausage. I must advise that the breakfast potatoes are rosemary heavy. If you don't like rosemary, you won't like these. Portions are big and shareable so I recommend doing that if dining with one or more people. It was a good time, good food and we will back!

This is our second visit here, and our first time with the dinner menu. There were lots of great choices! We tried the hush puppies appetizer and the deviled eggs to start. Great presentation and delicious. For entrees we went with the chicken and gravy, fish tacos and the love bug smash burger. Huge portions and really really good. We were very full afterward. We wanted to have a little more leisurely time there, maybe try a dessert, but we had to be at an event, so there was a time constraint. Overall, this is a great spot in downtown Belmont. Also, this is Jonas family owned restaurant so check out all the music memorabilia by the restrooms.

Started with a cold beer at the inside bar and was disappointed that my friends selected outside seating on the patio as it was 95 and extremely humid. After a 15 minute our server Chris finally came outside and set us up with water and silverware ( we were the only customers stupid enough to seat outside that day ). The menu was extensive featuring your typical appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, chicken and seafood. Decided on the turkey wrap, which although was well portioned with your cold cut turkey, was soggy and immediately fell apart when I bit into it. My friends did enjoy their she crab soup and grilled chicken salads.

I'd been here once before late night in the taproom with the smaller bar menu. That experience was fine. Not amazing, not bad--decent food, decent drinks, decent service. Very low-key and very different from this visit. So when we were nearby again before heading out to see Christmas lights, it felt like an easy, familiar option. Unfortunately, this time was a completely different story. Service was extremely slow from the start. It took nearly 30 minutes just to get drinks and an appetizer, and water refills were basically nonexistent. I eventually got up and refilled our water myself while watching the server refill other tables. We were there for almost 2.5 hours, which felt excessive given the pace and crowd level. Food was all over the place. Three meals had to be sent back. My BLT showed up with maybe two strips of limp bacon, soggy toast, wilted lettuce, and red peppers instead of the onions I asked for. Rather than remaking it, they just brought out two more equally limp strips of bacon. Two burgers ordered medium/medium-rare came out well done--even though the menu clearly shows doneness levels with photos, which made that miss even more confusing. On the bright side, the potato soup was excellent--probably the best thing we had--but it arrived lukewarm after a long wait. Other dishes like the scallops, Cajun Alfredo, and chicken sandwich were genuinely good, which just added to the confusion. A manager did drop off food and briefly acknowledge the issues, but there was no real apology or follow-up. I don't expect comps, but with this many problems and slow service, the lack of accountability was noticeable. Used plates from appetizers and sides that were clearly finished sat on the table for most of the meal. When dishes were cleared, the server often asked people who were still actively eating rather than removing the empty or stacked plates that were ready to go, which only added to the overall lack of attention and awareness. Between the inconsistent food, very slow service, and an overall lack of attention to detail, this visit just didn't work. It seems like one of those places where you might get a great meal--or you might spend hours wondering what went wrong. For now, it's firmly in the meh, proceed with caution category for me.

I ordered a cheese/half-pepperoni pizza, but it showed up like the toppings had unionized and decided to take over the entire operation. I did not request extra cheese or extra anything, but I definitely got "extra everything" energy. For me, the pizza would've been way better with a more balanced amount of toppings. Sometimes less really is more -- especially when the dough and sauce are already doing the heavy lifting. Right now, the toppings are basically crowding out the main characters of the pizza. Also, sticking to standard portions unless someone specifically asks for extra would probably help keep costs down and let the pizza breathe a little. I'd order again, but next time I'm hoping for a pizza that doesn't feel like it's trying to win a topping-eating contest.
