TIM IS A GREAT MANAGER!!!!!! I am from Chicago and this was my first time hearing about and coming to this restaurant… I ordered the Frittatas with extra bacon, sausage, easy onions and NO HAM, or sour cream…. My nickname for an omelette came out 45 minuets later and was filled with ham!!! I am allergic and luckily didn’t eat the part with ham in it… I told my server Logan about it and he apologized and took it back… Tim (the manager) came back and apologized and not only compensated my meal, he also remade it correctly in case I was still hungry… I also had a perfect mimosa that I had finished and planned on paying for that he compensated also… The cherry on top was a credit for my next meal for the inconvenience… ALL MANAGERS IN ANY PROFESSION CAN LEARN FROM THIS MAN!!! I was set on never coming back but I’ll definitely be back because the food was amazing, and mistakes do happen, but the customer service he showed me today was one in a million!!! Thanks again Tim!!!

Okay I am so mad that I didn’t know about this place sooner! This is my 2nd visit to Lexington & this exact area and only my first time in. A friend & I stayed nearby at the Campbell House Hilton hotel & we were looking for a brunch spot before doing some sightseeing after a conference! Dylan was our server that day & he was not just attentive, he was kind & incredibly helpful with recommendations. While I knew the lemon ricotta pancakes were a staple I went with the tacos which were OUT OF THIS WORLD! The coffee was bomb & we truly loved the vibe. Dylan really knocked it out of the park. He was happy to answer questions about any food allergies we had, customization of our dishes because of it but we ended up going with his recommendations for our meals! Im Detroit based but I was so happy to find out we have one nearby so I can get brunch again!

Great brunch experience! Five of us ate and agreed it was a very good brunch experience. From the manager's greeting at the front door (holding the door open) to our lovely server, Jade, the staff was very friendly and professional. What a nice breakfast and lunch menu they offer! We had the salmon Benedict, half sandwich and salad (pictured), ham and gruyere omelette, pancakes, Chickichanga, and for the table, we had the bacon and cheddar (seasonal) cornbread and the million dollar bacon (always a favorite). Everything was delicious and well presented (sorry I didn't get more food pictures). The side of fruit was generous, fresh, and tasty. I have gotten taken out from here before, but this was my first time dining in. Can't wait to return again. If nothing else for the service (thanks Jade!) and the million dollar bacon! šŸ˜‹

Appealing breakfast brunch items on menu. Still serving at 228pm. Thankyou! Very happy with this. Interior has clean simple decor. upscale stoneware platter plates and metal silverware. Casual attire. Kind Friendly service. averages 10 to 14 dollars a plate.

ā€œCannot put cheese in your waffle because the batter is premade.ā€ Here’s a thought...Um you could just sprinkle the cheese onto the batter and then close the griddle maybe. Or just simply say no it can’t be done. Because the reason given just doesn’t quite make sense. Also upcharge for cheese was left on bill and presented but no cheese was served. They offered to remove it after we brought it up but we declined. No fancy coffees at this cafe. They have coldbrew on the menu. Does not have espresso. Regular coffee is bold and velvety smooth. Nice flavor. No dirty sock water coffee served here. Coffee taste is thumbs up. ā€˜Clean’ empty coffee cups are preset on tables before you sit down.. our ā€˜clean’ coffee cups had dried coffee drip stains on the outside of the cup before we used them and we were served coffee in them. Offered paper coffee cups at the end of our meal for us to take to go coffee which was a very nice touch to service, but our pot was empty and the urn was dumped out before refilling us. Refill of our cups or our pot was not offered during meal. Offered to brew us another pot but we declined. We had a coffee spill at our table. Asked in a hurry for napkins to clean up. Host doing rollups at the front counter one table away and across from us didn’t run to help with any napkins. Our server brought one napkin and partly wiped the edge of the table. We had to ask for more so I could wipe the bench as well and not get any more coffee spilling onto my lap from across the table. Waffle was very light and fluffy, like a slice of white bread..not crispy. So soft that a fork couldn’t cut it. Waffle perhaps best eaten by hand as a foldover. Berry compote wonderful and not too sweet. If you like thin crispy bacon this will do fine. Medium thinness on the thin bacon scale. Huge coffee colored like stain on ceiling tile could use replacing. Overall nice atmosphere. Has a couple of outdoor tables. Indoor booth tables are not bolted to the wall or to the floor and are movable. Restaurant is ground level accessible from the parking lot. First visit here. Good for User type: couples brunch date, informal business meetup, singles friends social, Parents with...

I don’t usually write reviews, especially poor ones, but I feel like I have to in this case. Before today I always had good experiences, and loved it, but we mostly go to a different location. My husband and I went for lunch dining in at the broadway location today, and a couple things went wrong. The silverware they gave me still had food on it, which during this pandemic is honestly really concerning. The other was that I was told the muffin of the day was blueberry, so that is what I ordered, but they brought me a chocolate muffin instead, without telling me it was switched or anything. Mostly this was just a disappointment to me and not major, because I don’t like chocolate so I ended up leaving hungry still. I will add that some of the staff were apologetic and nice and they did remove the muffin from our check. But they did leave the gross food-covered dirty fork on our table throughout our lunch even after I showed them and asked for a new set, which made me super nauseous (though I am currently pregnant and more sensitive to that kind of stuff). Hopefully they’ll take more care cleaning the silverware in the future, though we most likely will avoid this location...

While there was a 20 min wait to be seated, this was expected on Sunday morning around noon. Once seated, the waitress promptly took and brought our drinks (coffee and fresh juice) and then took our order. The food was delivered within 20 minutes and was fresh and warm. I ordered the Chickichanga and the wife ordered the Farmhouse Skillet hash. The skillet was exactly as expected with eggs cooked to order with breakfast meats and potatoes. All of that was cooked properly and my wife enjoyed her meal. The Chickichanga was something special I had never considered ordering before but am glad I did. It was the prefect balance of spicy and breakfast smothered in a green chili sauce and sour cream. This is by far the best thing I've ever ordered at First Watch and look forward to having it again. Our beverages were checked on a few more times and we were able to pay and be on our way quickly. This location was clean and the staff was friendly the entire time we were there. I'd return to this location the next time I am...
