    Waffle
    Chris A.

    Did a yelp search for breakfast diners and this one came up. I wanted a good old fashioned diner experience. I walked in from the cold and was greeted by the friendly and attentive staff. Was seated immediately. I got the waffle platter. The food was prepared quickly and brought out in segments. They explained the waffle would be out shortly but they put the other plate out. The food was standard fare but the waffle really had a good taste to it, and the butter and syrup was very good. All throughout the staff checked up on me and I was very pleased with the attentiveness. It seems like this is a locally owned place and independent. If you are in the area definitely stop by and support them. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner. I would try them again for their lunch and dinner options.

    Black and Blue Burger

    Decent food, friendly service, but not good for gluten free. Had lunch while I was in Smyrna for work several weeks ago. The owner and his wife greeted us, took our orders, he cooked the food, and worked the register when we were leaving. The food was okay. I had a blue cheese burger which was pretty good. I would not, however, recommend this to anyone seeking a gluten free meal. I was able to make it work, but not necessarily a wise decision if you have an allergy. For instance, the owner swore to me that no seasoning ever have gluten in them (which is not true). I might go back, but maybe not.

    Corned Beef Hash

    The experience was amazing. The food was great and the atmosphere is chilled. Get the corned beef! Delicious.

    Meatloaf, Mac and Cheese, mashed potatoes

    Wonderful home-cooking. I came here on a Friday afternoon, and was greeted pleasantly by the owner and his wife. The owner suggested his fresh made, homemade meatloaf. I, being of sound mind and body, could not refuse. 10/10, hit the spot! Loved the smooth jazz music as well!

    was on my way to get Greek down the street, and saw a sign that said meatloaf. I had to stop in and try. I was very skeptical at first, inside was very basic, nothing special but, OH MY GOODNESS!!! This is my new favorite place! I live in Murfreesboro and will have to make the 20 minute drive! The owner was kind and super to get along with: I was the only one there so we got to know each other a little. GREAT place. Can't wait to try the other dishes he has!

    First Watch is always a popular brunch spot, and my recent visit was a mix of hits and misses…read more I started with the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, but they just weren't for me. The texture was dense, dry, and crumbly--more like cornbread than the soft, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes I was expecting. They lacked the moist, buttery richness I personally look for in a great pancake. To be fair, that may be their intended style, but it wasn't what I had hoped for. The staff was accommodating, and I exchanged the pancakes for scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, and seasoned potatoes. That plate was much more enjoyable. The eggs were fluffy, the potatoes were nicely seasoned with a good crisp on the outside, and the turkey sausage was a solid choice. I also sampled the Turkey Sausage Biscuits & Gravy. The dish was comforting and satisfying, but it could have benefited from a little more seasoning. A touch more sage in the sausage would have added the savory depth that makes biscuits and gravy truly memorable. One of the highlights of the meal was the fresh juice selection. The Morning Meditation was refreshing with a bright blend of orange, lemon, turmeric, ginger, beet, and agave. The lavender drink was equally delicious, light, floral, and refreshing without being overpowering. If you're visiting First Watch, I highly recommend trying one of their fresh juices. Overall, while the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes missed the mark for me, the fresh juices, eggs, potatoes, and turkey sausage made for a pleasant brunch experience. I'd gladly return and explore more of their savory breakfast offerings.

This place will surprise you with the interior space (beautifully decorated) plus the outside seating which is also pet friendly. I went upstairs and sat at the bar where I met Kate...she is a non-stop dynamo behind the bar with a fun personality. The two dishes I enjoyed were specials for the evening and may not be available when you visit. My appetizer...black mussels in an elegant cream sauce...this dish blew me away. Make sure you dip the bread in the sauce, it was so good I was tempted to order another helping. For dinner the fried Grouper over a bed of gnocchi and a drizzle of aioli was incredible. The breading was light, the fish was perfectly cooked, and the combination of flavors was very well done. While I am not a fan of the texture of gnocchi...this was really good with the cream sauce. What sets this place apart...the people! Yes...the food is great! But when you spend four hours enjoying a great meal, intriguing conversation, and a smattering of food theory you know you've found a bit of paradise. Thanks to Kate, the owner Jason, Chef Armen and his wife Ericka...it was a pleasure to meet and spend time with all of you.

I came in with my family, and other customers began complaining about the noise my 1-year-old baby was making. As a mother, I was already feeling incredibly anxious and was actively trying my best to console my crying child.Instead of showing any empathy, the staff made the situation infinitely worse. They actively participated in making me feel unwelcome, leaving me drowning in embarrassment and shame just for trying to navigate a normal toddler moment. The ultimate insult came just minutes later: after making us feel like a burden for making noise, the exact same staff came out blasting and screaming at the top of their lungs to sing a happy birthday song. The blatant hypocrisy was staggering--our baby's distress was an issue, but their own disruptive noise was perfectly fine.Despite the horrible treatment, I still left a $10 tip, which was far more than their hostile attitude deserved. I left the establishment feeling deeply hurt, small, and judged. No parent should ever be made to feel guilty for existing in public with their children. Families with young kids, please stay away from this unwelcoming place. 0 STARS IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN!
