I have been to this restaurant countless times in the past couple of years since I’ve moved into the neighborhood. Today was by far the worst experience I’ve had at this restaurant. I placed an order a little bit before noon for pick up at 12:05 PM. I arrived a little bit later than 12:05 knowing that it probably will be not ready, but hopefully by the time I got there a little bit behind it would be ready. However, when I showed up at about 12:15 PM, my food still was not ready. I asked several times at the host stand inquiring about my order and was met with it’s not ready yet. and at one point, I was told by the hostess that the kitchen is behind. This was confusing to hear as I was seeing food coming out for tables of those were waiting to receive the food. However, the to go orders were simply all but forgotten. I finally received my order at 12:45 PM. My pancake was lukewarm. My eggs were cold and my bacon was not how I asked for it to be on my order. Upon getting home and plating my food to be placed in the microwave to reheat it, I noticed that underneath my eggs there is hair from somebody that prepared my order. I am not used to seeing this level of missing the mark from this restaurant, but this truly did put a really unsavory taste in my mouth about coming to this restaurant. I will have to look for elsewhere to go for breakfast and brunch needs.

Had a lovely Saturday brunch, the Fall speciality menu items are everything. Loved my maple bacon croissant & potatoes worst seasoned to perfection. I also enjoyed the new fall drink with dragon, fruit, pineapple, and lemon. The other dishes were also good portions, hot, and fresh!

First time visiting this location and think I’ve found my favorite.
Ordered the Pesto Bowl and the dressing and flavor was perfect! The “Morning Meditation Fresh Juice” topped it off and my server, LaQunn’s guidance was spot on when I shared I preferred Fresh over Sweet.
Can’t wait for my next visit!

Can be very busy and have a longer wait time (given I did go on a Saturday), but once you are sat the food comes out very quickly and the servers are great! Food was super yummy too. Affordable prices for apps, mains, and sides

I ordered the cinnamon chip breakfast this morning. It said that it would be ready at 9:13 I arrived and it wasn’t ready Until 9:42 AM. Upon arrival, the young lady at the front said that if it was ready, it would be where the orders are to the right. After standing there for an additional 10 minutes, I asked her if she could check on the order. She rolled her eyes and proceeded to go to the back. Came back and said it wasn’t ready. Finally I told them I would prefer to just receive a refund. Jeffrey, one of the managers came out and tried the best he could to mitigate the situation. He was polite and tried to rectify the situation by bringing my order. Sadly, this is what I received. A burnt cinnamon chip pancake, cold, hard eggs, and uncooked potatoes.

Visiting the area and this was right next to our airbnb. The wait was minimal. Very busy place but the food was amazing. The server was very nice. Would definitely recommend and return.

I’m writing this as I sit in the establishment. First, when I walked in 3 people were standing at the front…. All three looked in my face and said nothing. A young man them took my info for the wait. 30 minutes was the time… I went in after the 30 minutes to check in the status, and the woman at the counter acts like she doesn’t see me agaiin. Fast forward were seated and still waiting 15 minutes for the waiter to come to the table and is like “are y’all ready?” No water, no nothing. We order… I asked for my eggs scrambled hard. They came out runny. I have to wave the waitress down from another table (cause she never came back) to ask her for well done eggs. She goes “those ain’t scrambled hard?” -_- Like are we looking at the same thing?!? I wait 30 more minutes while the rest of my food gets cold all for them to bring out burnt eggs with cheese. Anyway, all that to say I am being less than satisfied with my hour and change wait just to still be hungry.

I’ve been going to first watch for years specifically this location. But I think that’s gonna change the experience I had today was absolutely unacceptable. I Placed a to go order and was told it would take 15 to 20 minutes. It took 43 minutes to get my food which was exceptionally long because if I knew it was gonna take that long, I would’ve went somewhere else and when I received my food and looked inside the bag, utterly disappointed it looked like my food was just tossed in there. The trays weren’t even closed. I believe this is my last time going there.

I randomly found this place while cruising through Atlanta. The Farmhouse Skillet is very good and I especially like the roasted tomatoes in it. The whole grain bread that comes with it is also wonderful. I highly recommend stopping by.

Sarah is a great server. She is as moving around doing her thing while busy. Keep up the great work! Food was so good! My friend first time loved his food and finished his entire plate. Chile chorizo omelet and Strawberry Tre’s leches French toast with a side of cheesy grits which are my favorite and the seasoned potatoes!! I love this place I’ll be back !
