But this time around I had the crab Benedict substituted poached eggs for over medium egg. I didn't enjoy the hollandaise sauce onit but the crab cake and eggs was amazing. They were really busy this past Sunday it was the first 90+ degrees weekend to startoff the summer. The Pineapple Express juice was great w/ the immune booster shot added. Needed that for the weekend hangoverrecovery. I like First Watch it's a cute affordable family/friend establishment where you can grab a healthy bite to eat. Mysister had the shrimp and grits. She said it was okay nothing to brag about but yummy nonetheless. If you're looking foraffordable family oriented place to grab a bite to eat try here.

They brought out a coffee pot along with a pitcher of water, which I appreciated. The food was excellent, and the service was spot on. I will definitely be adding this place to my list of regular spots!

That’s the only reason I’m deducting a star. The food remains excellent—I love the healthy options and how fresh everything is. The salads, eggs, meats, and more are always fresh and delicious. They also update some dishes seasonally, and I enjoy trying the new seasonal items. Be sure to put your name on the list through the app before you leave home to save waiting time. There’s also a communal table, called the counter, with about eight seats, perfect for one or two people. I highly recommend this place—just come on a day when you aren’t in a rush, and enjoy!

Even if you go to your car, they send a text saying you have only 2 minutes to get back or your reservation will be canceled, which I think is unreasonable—it should be more like 5 to 10 minutes. That said, the food is fresh, healthy, and full of flavor. It's definitely worth the wait, but the waiting experience could be more comfortable. I really enjoy the potato hash, and the Purple Haze drink is fantastic. My boyfriend ordered an omelette and finished every bite. I will definitely return, but next time I’ll start the wait at home before heading over.
