Neither was the restaurant was the restaurant busy. Some of us received our meals in decent time. However, the wait time between ordering and receiving meals for others was quite comical. Part of our breakfast orders would come out (example... pancakes) then literally 20 mins later the rest of the meal would come out. We're all aware that service can be slow sometimes but slow and parts of meals coming out randomly(?) Now that was a new one .... different. Food was good but it would have been nice if we could have eaten our entire meal together vs piece-mealed. We asked our server was serving meals like this usual. She said something about problems in the kitchen(?) We will not be back.

You get that old time customer service where the wait staff remembers your order. The food portions and food flavor never disappoints. I'm always left full and with extra to go. I had a burger where my patty was bigger than the bun. Not only was it delicious but it was flavorful. The beef had obviously been marinated before it was cooked. The ambiance changes with every season and holiday. I look forward to seeing what's new each time I visit. The only downside is the hours. I personally wish they were open around the clock 24/7.

OMG. I had no idea…read morethere was a breakfast spot hiding in Gwinnett! Well, I'm here to shed some light on your next spot to go for breakfast. Me and my partner have been coming here about 2 months of Sundays in a row! You would think somewhere else would do it, but no! This is it! Location: is in Lawrenceville. If you are in Gwinnett, it's very easy to get to and ample parking. Service: everyone is lovely. It's very family oriented and the wait times are not bad. We typically come before the church crowd, or shortly after but even when we came during, we waited about 10 mins to be seated. Staff: Always lovely, always remember what you've ordered the first time - no complaints. Food: THE BOMB. I'm being dramatic, but this has gots to be the best French toast I've ever had outside of my mother's and my own! The chicken fiesta omelet??? To die for. The omelet and the salsa. Hands down the best in Georgia! Pricing is fair. I mean everything is lovely. I will always chose them for Sunday breakfast.

The host said it was to celebrate the spring season since they did a apres ski theme during the winter. So festive. Okay so boom, we came here on a whim since we were going to a concert in the area later that evening. Surprisingly it wasn't busy for a Saturday which I expected it to be. Unfortunately though they had upcoming reservations so we weren't able to sit in the main room. We sat in their second dining room which was off to the side but still decorated. Our service was still good and the waiter was very attentive. For apps, we got the She Crab soup. I would've preferred for the crab meat to be sprinkled on top vs. in the soup but nonetheless it was still delicious. Super fresh!! Omg. I even contemplated on switching my entree to the stuffed grouper to get some more crab meat. I ended up getting the Shrimp scampi which was a great choice. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint with the shrimp. 6 jumbo pieces. Omg. The entree was done pretty well and it was just the right portion size. If we had more time, I would've ordered their toffee bread pudding or the honey crème brulee but that's all the more reason to come back. Oh and order the It was all a dream cocktail. It tastes like vanilla. Done to perfection.

The World's Best BLT in a Lonely Gas Station Corner…read more Tucked into the dim corner of a run-down gas station off Highway 14 is The Griddle Stop, a place so unassuming you'd drive past it a hundred times without a second thought. Dusty windows, flickering neon, and a gas pump that hasn't worked since the Clinton administration. But behind a creaky door and a scratched-up counter sits the holy grail of sandwiches: the world's best BLT. Served on thick, toasted sourdough that crackles just right under your bite, the bacon comes in unapologetically fat slabs -- smoky, crisp, and curled like it has a story to tell. The lettuce? Iceberg, shredded fresh and cold like it was pulled straight from a mountain stream. The tomatoes are impossibly red, juicy, and somehow always in season, kissed with just enough salt to make your lips tingle. And the mayo -- homemade, garlicky, and spread edge to edge -- binds the whole miracle together. There's no music playing, no Instagram signage, and the cook, a retired Marine named Earl, only grunts when you compliment his food. But when that sandwich hits your table (a wobbly Formica top near the vending machine), the world slows down. You forget you're alone. You forget the gas station smell. You forget everything but the next bite. Five stars. No frills. No fuss. Just the kind of meal that makes you question every fancy sandwich you've ever overpaid for. Earl doesn't serve happiness, but he'll sure as hell give you the sandwich that feels like it.

After 30 minutes I checked on where we were and one girl said another 15 minutes but then the young woman that said 30 minutes grabbed 2 menus and said follow me. We ended up at a 2 person table beside 2 empty booths and we did not even ask to change bc our favorite server had us! She's so good that she's worth the wait! I'm so sorry I can't remember her name! Of course we ordered coffee because theirs is so delicious we don't mind paying $3.99 for it! Normally, we always get water with lemon as our drinks but not here! We both decided to try something different then our usual orders. My friend had the chimmichurri steak hash and he ate every thing but a couple of potatoes, said it was very good and was happy he tried it. I chose the pick 2 half sandwich Roast beef and havarti with a creamy horseradish sauce and tomato basil soup. Both were excellent! The ambiance here is minimal but super clean including the restrooms. People definitely come for the food. We did miss the Belgium waffle we usually share but we decided we were too full to even attempt one ! No worries my birthday is in a couple of weeks and they always send a bogo happy birthday coupon if you are on their vip list, which of course, I am.... so there is a Belgium waffle in my future! Thank you First Watch for consistently being one of our favorite places!

They were all great especially the waffle (although the strawberries were not the best quality). My husband ordered scrambled eggs and they gave him eggs over easy. I ordered a side of ham and I was over halfway done with the French toast before it came out. Still always a good choice
