    By far my favorite​ brunch place in B'ham!

    Service is alway top​ notch. I have been alway impressed.

    The place is very nice and spacious. It feels clean and it looks great.

    Food is constantly delicious. Very fresh ingredients and they offer plenty of lighter/healthier​ options.
    The add new seasonal​ dishes all the time, which is great.
    The kids​ menu has 6-7 options that fit​ any taste.

    The more sweet options are delicious​. Right now they have pancakes​ with a lemon ricotta cream that is fantastic.

    Also, they have a small​ patio that is not great, but it gives you the options to be outside. Unfortunately,​ they do not allow dogs in this patio! This last part is very disappointing, we end up not going that often bcz we like to bring our dog in the weekend morning brunches.

    Ultimately, this is a great place. Very much recommended.

    First Watch is a great option for brunch! They have tons of options for sweet, savory or healthy breakfast. My go-to is the Tri-fecta that comes with a pancake, eggs and choice of meat. There a lots of toppings for pancakes and choices of meat. They even have turkey sausage, which not many places have! The coffee is good, but nothing to write home about. They also offer a menu of juices!

    It tends to be pretty busy on weekends, so there will probably be a wait. I recommend joining the waitlist ahead of time through the Nowait app!

    This place did not disappoint! The farmhouse atmosphere is cozy. The staff is friendly and prompt. The food was delicious! Will come back again if in the area.

    Visited on a Sunday around noon with 4 ppl ( 2 adults, teen and toddler)

    I just love all First Watch!!! We reserved our table on Yelp and there was NO WAIT!! Our waitress was nice. Our food was good and fast. I don't remember what all we had but there was none left on the plates including the toddler. I really wished we had one in Memphis I would probably be there ALL THE TIME!
