First Watch - Charlottesville

Delicious large servings everything I saw come out of the kitchen looked tasty. Nice little pot of coffee that stayed decently hot. Lemon ricotta pancakes a nice twist, turkey gravy biscuit and fried potatoes nicely spiced. There is typically a wait. Make a reservation if u can.

After enjoying my breakfast I received my bill and was surprised at the price of one lemon pancake. I hate asking for the manager and feeling high maintenance, but he greeted me very kindly and was able to look into my concern and i was met with great customer service. Corporate prices have gone up all over but he was great, thank you!

My new favorite place for brunch. The service is mediocre, sometimes you get a really professional wait person and sometimes not. The food is always consistently delicious and filling. The coffee is SO good. Everything tastes fresh at First Watch. The flavors always pair well, and the ambiance is lively and welcoming. The kids at the pay desk need to smile more and engage with customers, but outside of that, this place is a winner.

In general, it is recommended to visit this restaurant and judge for yourself. Below are the pros and cons. Pros: The food is amazing, with the entire family enjoying their meals in every way. The waitress was extremely friendly and respectful. The seating and decor were clean and unique, and we enjoyed sitting outside. Cons: We had to wait 20 minutes for our food. Neutral: The restaurant was very busy, which meant we had to sit outside or wait a while. (This indicates their popularity)

The brunch at this restaurant is fantastic. They have a wide variety of options including gourmet sandwiches like the Market Veggie, soups, salads, brunch cocktails, and a large selection of breakfast dishes. The server was friendly and helpful. Despite being busy, the food came out quickly. The highlights were the Market Veggie sandwich, creamy grits, and the huge (and incredibly tasty) multigrain pancakes.
