    Friday Brunch (if that’s a thing) spot. Newly opened First Watch was hit for us. It looked pretty busy on a Friday morning but we got our table quick. The staff seemed nice and the food was good. Ordered a Chickichanga and Elevated Egg Sandwich. Both the items were delicious.

    Everything was amazing! Our server Davion was absolutely amazing and made the experience even better because he was so knowledgeable about the menu & had actually tried the food at the restaurant. I didn’t have to ask for simple things because he was so attentive to me and my family. I can’t wait to return.

    I want to first watch with my friend and he had an amazing breakfast we were greeted by LaTia and she offered excellent service! We arrived around 7:15 AM so the place was empty but we were actually able to enjoy the ambience and music without the crowd! The Kale Tonic is amazing and I enjoyed my Belgian waffle and Fresh season potatoes!

    We took our broker here for her birthday. I arrived first and got us the table. The restaurant has a few other customers but not many. There were four of us at the table. The waitress was very short spoken. We tried asking her several questions about the dishes, which she ignored, and only responded back to what you were ordering. We were treated like we were an inconvenience to her morning. We did enjoy our food, however. We did have a good time despite the waitress' attitude. As usual with our group, we order different dishes and share with each other so we are able to enjoy more than one dish. The food was delicious. I will go back to First Watch but will ask for a different waitress if she is assigned to my table.

    Excellent food and service. The ambience is family oriented! ASK FOR ASHLEY!!! She was great! Oh, and it fills up fast on the weekends, so bring your patience. Definitely worth the wait!!!

    Food was great. They are normally pretty busy, and not very quick. On this location/visit it was extra slow. I think they were short staffed. Our waitress was very nice and did good job.

    Food is good like when we were in Florida. The million dollar bacon is always my fave. Our server Ashley is really nice and friendly.

  • 4/5 Patricia V. 7 months ago on Google
    We've been to other locations and have always enjoyed our experience. This spot is no exception. We started with fresh coffee with flavored creamer and gingerbread donut holes. Our meals were served fresh and hot. Our friend had the BacAdo omelet, hubby had 2 fresh blueberry pancakes, and I feasted on the Sunny Seoul Hash bowl. We're not sure why the kitchen was so slow. It was Friday morning at 8:45 and there were only a handful of tables occupied. Our server, Bhlysia, was attentive most of the time. She was MIA for a while but resurfaced before we all got whiplash or a bad case of bobblehead-itis. It was an overall good experience, and we'll be back again soon.

    I think I’ve found my new favorite brunch spot in Charlotte!!!!! From the fresh juice selection that gave me a fresh start made with turmeric, oranges, beets, ginger, and lemon A+, the farm to table vibes, balanced menu where my family and I all found something we loved, and last but not least- the amazing service provided by Nick!!! He was super sweet, patient, upbeat, and helpful… I had the amazing Lemon Ricotta Pancakes 🥞 and I’m NOT a ricotta type of gal, but hunnieeeee- it was the absolute best pancake I’ve ever had topped with a lemon curd and fresh strawberries 🍓. I didn’t even need the syrup. I also had a side of chicken sausage that was cooked to perfection. My son devoured the French toast with berries and a side of breakfast potatoes. Everyone enjoyed their brunch (omelettes, sausage and gravy, and a beef breakfast skillet). The food was served very hot n fresh (just how we all like it) and in a very reasonable time. Definitely give this place a try!!!!

👍👍 Skeptical. I visited this place because of a research on brunch places in downtown. Ended here because of the Google rating. Almost Worth it! The Italian sausage hash was really good. But my spouse ordered an avocado toast and it lacked flavor. Also, the coffee was legit; really good! Also ordere...
