Nestled in a bustling area, this restaurant has garnered mixed feedback from patrons. While many rave about the consistently delicious food, particularly the standout grits and innovative dishes like million-dollar bacon and fluffy biscuits with gravy, others report disappointing experiences, including poorly prepared items and insufficient attention to dietary restrictions. The generally friendly staff provides commendable service, though minor lapses, such as infrequent beverage refills and inconsistent meal customization, have been noted. Despite its popularity and delectable offerings, including gluten-free options, there’s a call for improved attention to detail. Overall, this spot remains a promising choice for breakfast, brunch, and lunch.

If you're searching for a healthy option, this restaurant is okay. It's not my top choice for breakfast and the prices are a bit on the higher side.

I was just passing by and decided to stop in. It was a pleasant surprise. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. I will definitely be returning. However, the parking lot was busy and the spots were tight.

This place has really gone downhill! I used to have breakfast here once a week and at first the food was fairly consistent (I always order the same thing). The last few times I went, which was over the course of several months, the food was AWFUL! I ordered a cinnamon roll that was served still frozen in the center. Customizations we 're ignored. Eggs were raw.. there were issues like these at every visit. But the very last time I visited, every single thing my party ordered was awful. One guest with a dairy allergy was served a dish smothered in sour cream (of course, they ordered it to be dairy free). Before it was even placed on the table, the food runner was made aware that it was made wrong, they apologized, and said they 'd remake it correctly. Several minutes later, they brought out the EXACT same plate of food except most of the sour cream had been scraped off, and from sitting in the back it was now cold. I was appalled! To add insult to injury, another person in the party had ordered a jalapeño cornbread that came out burnt to a crisp. This time, we told the server that it was exceptionally over cooked, which he agreed with, apologized, and said he 'd bring a less well done one . Same scenario this time..a few minutes later, the exact same, burnt to a crisp jalapeño cornbread was reserved to our table. At this point we sent back both dishes and asked to have them removed from the check. Initially the server said they would only to return a moment later saying the manager wouldn 't remove the dishes! The compromise was that we could choose 1 dish off the menu for them to prepare as a to go meal at no additional charge. We stated we just wanted the cost of the inedible food removed, but they firmly refused. When all was said and done, the $25 for food we never even touched remained on our bill. I will never be back!

This was my first time here and I'm glad I visited! I arrived around 10am on a Friday and it was busy but was able to get a table right away. Ordered one of the specials which was a barbacoa breakfast burrito and it was incredible! The presentationwas fantastic and the flavor was out of this world. The server was prompt and kept my coffee coming and would check in fromtime to time to check on me. I'll return again to try more of the menu but I've heard on weekends there's always a wait to getin. I understand why!

I have never had any bad food from first watch. However this was my first time getting salad during brunch and it blew me away. I got a Cobb salad without the blue cheese crumbles. It was amazing everything tasted fresh and really really good. I also got aiced coffee and it was really yummy. Our food came out quickly and we were in and out within 45 minutes. This place is a 10 outof 10! Just make sure you check in online first before going because there was a two hour wait for people that had not checkedin online prior.
