This is one of the best brunch spots I've been too....loved everything. Great presentation, delicious food, inviting atmosphere, friendly staff. Would no doubt recommend this place to anyone looking for new brunch spot! Got the Lemon Ricotta pancakes and turkey sausage. OMG!!! These pancakes were unbelievably good; considering they were multi-grain they were so light fluffy. The lemon curd added right touch. Huge portions!

Been a fan of the chain for sometime, and although a recent vist to another FW wasn't too great, this visit was on-par or more... Service was prompt and friendly, and the food was hot, as ordered and delicious.. Will certainly repeat!!

Food was cold. They brought me another waffle but it was just barely warm. I know the weather is cold but a restaurant kitchen should be able to produce hot food and get it to the table very warm. They do give warm syrup. Waitress was very nice and accommodating.

My partner and I ordered breakfast for pickup earlier this morning. We ran into car trouble and wound up being unable to pickup our order until an hour and a half after our chosen time. We were willing to pay for a new order given how late we were, but the manager told us not to worry about it and they remade the food fresh when we got there. Phenomenal service, really kind management and staff, fantastic food. We have gone to several other First Watch restaurants in the past, but this location

Went on a Sunday morning with the family, party of 4. The staff were following the Covid guidelines with masks and wiping down the table and keeping items cleaned and everything was spaced very good. I ordered the farmhouse skillet hash (I believe that was the name) which was excellent! I wish I remembered the servers name, as she was very good and attentive to our needs. All of our meals were very good. This was a great (and safe) place to enjoy breakfast.
