I enjoyed my first time here. The server was very pleasant and the food was good. The menu had a good variety of options to choose from. I had the multigrain pancake, which was good and very large. I was satisfied with the amount of food I had for the price. The ambience was inviting and the breakfast donuts were so delicious with the dipping sauce. I will definitely go back.

Breakfast at this bustling neighborhood spot proved to be both satisfying and lively, though not without a few trade-offs.
The kitchen turns out dishes with a clear eye toward health and balance. The Tri-Athlete omelet–egg whites folded with house-roasted cremini mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and green chilies–was executed cleanly and presented with whole-grain artisan toast, fresh fruit, and a bright pico de gallo. It struck exactly the right note of flavor without excess, leaving one feeling light yet fulfilled. My husband mirrored my choice, while my son opted for the pesto-topped Power Bowl, a smart, hearty alternative. The fall menu, dotted with shareables, entrées, and cocktails, offers an appealing seasonal expansion. A small disappointment: the “Million Dollar Bacon” came with a maple syrup drizzle, which, for purists who prefer savory bacon unadorned, may be a misstep.
The Service: was attentive and genuinely warm–staff moved quickly despite the morning rush, and our server handled the crowd with ease and cheer. It’s clear that hospitality is a point of pride here.
The Ambience: the weakest link in the experience is the ambience. The dining room, while welcoming, suffers from its popularity: noise carries, conversations overlap, and the effect can feel more cafeteria than café. For diners seeking leisurely conversation, this setting may frustrate; for families, it fits the lively brunch bill perfectly.
Parking is ample in theory but strained in practice, with an LA Fitness sharing the lot and drawing a steady flow of traffic.
This is a restaurant that excels at hearty, health-minded breakfasts served with genuine friendliness. The food delivers balance and flavor, though the ambience requires a tolerance for clamor. Come here for energy, not intimacy.
Great pricing for the portions offered

I was excited to try their new tres leches French toast but I am highly disappointed. It was all burnt. I don’t understand as a cook how they thought it was okay to serve this and try covering it up with the toppings. It’s so burnt I couldn’t even cut through it. I am highly upset.

Omar was our server today. He was super friendly and attentive. The frittata, market veggie omelette, and lemon ricotta pancakes were all delicious. We had a great brunch!

Hello, today my family and I dined at the First Watch in John’s Creek, as we do almost every Sunday. The food was good, but when we received the check, my grandfather found it confusing to read. He said the formatting was odd and made it look as though we were being taxed twice.
When we spoke to our server, she advised us to speak with the manager at the cashier. A few servers spoke to him, and then a male manager came over. He explained that they had no control over the formatting or how items are taxed, and that we would need to contact corporate. That was fine we understood they could only do so much but we wanted to make sure they were at least aware that the formatting could be an issue.
The male manager (I’m sorry, I don’t remember his name) walked away, and another manager came up. She immediately began speaking to us in a combative tone, insisting that we were in the wrong. We might have been, but if she had allowed my grandfather to speak, she would have understood that we were simply confused by the formatting and wanted to bring it to their attention.
The female manager continued to be aggressive, telling us that we “can’t skip out on the bill.” At no point did we ask for anything to be removed or discounted, and the fact that she insinuated that loudly, in front of other customers was insulting and frankly unprofessional. She then said she would deduct $12 from the bill “just to get us out of there.” I told her we would be paying the full bill and that there was no need for that.
A red‑haired server (Bailey) then commented that my grandfather was “too old to understand the existence of sales tax.” We were still in a public area not that such a comment would be acceptable anywhere and the staff’s lack of decorum was astonishing. Several servers even snickered among themselves after she said it, which is absolutely not okay.
We will not be returning to this location again.

Our service was great. Food was great as well. I got the smoked sockeye salmon vegetable frittata(well done) and it was very good. 8/10. I don’t like my grits to taste like butter soup, I had to send the grits back and ask them to put the butter on the side but other than(I should have mentioned it while ordering) that we had a pleasant experience!

After a string of bad experiences at other First Watch locations around the Atlanta metro, I was very happy to enjoy brunch at this location with no problems. The food was great and our server was very nice. Excellent LARGE patio with lots of seating available. Really recommend this First Watch over others nearby!

I always enjoy visiting First Watch, and this time was no different. The Bacon Cheddar Cornbread special is definitely worth trying — it’s flavorful and generously portioned, easily serving two people. I usually order the Tri-Fecta with a waffle, but this time I switched it up and chose the blueberry pancake, which was absolutely delicious. The bacon was perfectly crispy, just the way I like it.
One downside, however, is that the atmosphere can be very loud, making it less ideal if you’re hoping for a quiet, lazy Sunday morning breakfast.

All the way around from service to meal this brunch was 10 out of 10. You need to go have your next meal at First Watch in Johns Creek, GA.
