Reviews for First Watch in Smyrna, GA
Food was decent, however I would 100% avoid this place. You can get this type of brunch anywhere else in the city and avoid the... terribly slow service (ymmv). I joined the waitlist online. It took about 45-50 minutes to get a seat (which isn't abnormal).All I got was coffee and a fairly traditional breakfast (coffee, waffle, eggs, bacon). My order took 50 minutes to arrive. 2+hours for bacon, eggs, and a waffle from start to end. To add to this, I feel like they are just generally under prepared ordon't have enough resources. Our water was served in plastic cups (despite eating in), and I waited 10 minutes for cutlery so Icould stir my coffee. We didn't talk to our waiter for well over an hour (from taking our order to delivering our bill). Patioseemed nice except for the fact that there was food on the floor. Giving it 2 stars since the food itself was good. Zero reasonto ever come back with breakfast/brunch places all over the city. Read more
Ill start off by saying the workers are beautiful and the establishment looks nice and cozy. The food was decent, I feel the egg... portions didn't match two eggs (picture included) but I did ask for cheese and it was cheese on them, just not American like Irequested. Other than that the food came out correct. It just took forever for the food to come out. We waited about 75-85minutes for our food to come out after ordering. They said one of the cooks was slowing things down and it affected everyone. I ordered waffles eggs and sausage. I could've went to the back and cooked it myself in 20 minutes or less lol. They were busybut they said things were running way faster until this cook was "off" his game. My friend ordered a mimosa and said it wasreally weak and taste like straight juice. The staff was nice and friendly just the wait for the food kind of spoiled ourexperience. The staff apologized and was transparent about why our food took so long though. Read more
My food that I order from First Watch is usually good, but not today. I ordered scrambled eggs and a majority of the eggs were... burnt! Not happy at all! I order online and I tip! I expected better! Read more
Before I go into the food, let me say that our server was AMAZING. Shout out to Julian who provided beyond excellent customer... service!! Pros: Coffee was good. Kale Tonic was refreshing. Options for the gluten intolerant. Cons: Food took nearly an hour tomake its way out of the kitchen. It tasted meh. The bread wasn't toasted. There was an avocado smear on top of my sandwich(think someone wiping the knife clean on a slice of bread). Kitchen botched the side dish. Read more
First Watch is always a great choice for a hearty healthy breakfast!! The staff always customizes my food when I make special... requests and that makes it a unique and pleasing experience. I?ve also never had a bad meal EVER when visiting thisestablishment. Read more
Love First Watch, but if you?re going to order a side of bacon with your carry out order make sure it?s the million dollar... bacon. The regular is NOT as advertised. Very thin, crisped to the point it breaks apart when you pick it up. Just verydisappointing. This location also sucks with estimating wait times, so add an extra 20 minutes to whatever time they give you. Read more
Really well made, fresh food. Friendly and helpful staff. I super enjoy coming out and grabbing brunch here! It was a bit hard... to give five stars, because honestly the wait is just depressingly long sometimes on the weekend. I cannot stress enough **getthe app and get a place in line ahead of time**. The wait on the weekends is routinely well over an hour. All of that beingsaid, it's hands down one of our favorites for a healthy brunch. Make sure you grab the millionaire bacon. Sooooo good!

Best thing we had was the Cranberry Crush. Food was at best average. My issue is the wait list. We arrived was told 1hr 40min.... Name on list received initial text. We had no issues. 1 hr passes I call to get an update the gentleman says if you are herestart walking to the front we should have something ready. Get there and the host is like nope another 40-50 min. We sit rightoutside at the bench. 15 minutes pass my husband walks in and they are just giving tables away. We are seated. By the time wereceive our food I finally get the text saying our table is ready. I wish I was making it up and I wish we had a betterexperience however we didn't. Read more
