Awesome place for brunch, if you are taking a shopping trip to Turkey Creek, stop here!! Greta food, bright and modern feeling with good old fashion southern dining

After this locations health score last month, I was skeptical to go back to our preferred location. Always wait in the online queue, especially if you go on a Sunday! The food was delicious as always, the eggs were fine and hopefully kept correctly. Also the gluten free options are quite tasty

Tasty food! Great service by Pam! Hot coffees with extra coffee left at our table. Who does that? Yes! Waters with extra also. Well done.

Really like this location vs the crazy crowded one at Costco. Everyone is very nice and usually quick. So far we liked all that we ate, very good food. Very clean and nice environment. Highly recommend.

Our vacation group decided to go to first watch for the first time ever. It was our meeting spot for everyone :) We were impressed by the very good food, the service, and the country style atmosphere. They have healthy options and they have the good ole country style breakfast too. Lots to choose from with some unique dishes and nothing seemed over priced either. It was a busy facility this Saturday morning and we had a very good experienced waitress who gave us the 5 star experience. We would recommend this establishment to anyone.
