First Watch - The Highlands

I was visiting from Florida and had no idea Kentucky had First Watch restaurants! I love First Watch and this one was no exception. My (breakfast) food was delicious and the wait staff took excellent care of me. I also loved the decor at this one. Great familiar stop on my trip!

My first time here after several recommendations from friends. And they earn my recommendation.

Yes it is a chain (like Wild Eggs), and they’re good like Wild Eggs. Great food! The bacon and avocado omelet was new (to me) and outstanding. Toast on fresh wheat bread was much better than expected. The potatoes were a little undercooked - perhaps because of the Mother’s Day crush. Eggs over easy were done right and the blueberry pancake was as good as it gets. Coffee, tea, and OJ also met the mark.

Despite the crowd, the service was outstanding from stepping in the door and being met by a tablet toting team member through or meal with Travis, and finally checkout - you pay on your way out - everyone was friendly, efficient, and fun. And it was really hectic!

Lots of parking. Industrial decor. Very clean (it’s new at this location).

I’ll give them a pass on the potatoes (I ate them all), and a five for everything being. I will be back!

Our server was nice, but didn't check back on us. Had to ask another server for something & had to wait to get our check when we needed to leave. The soup & 1/2 sandwich combo I had was good, but the bowl of soup was tiny! Husband's side of fruit was also tiny.

My service was mediocre. My food came out cold. It took some time for my server to check on me but when she did I let her know my food was cold and that I'd like a box and my bill. (The food tasted good, it was just cold.) Shortly after a manager came to apologize for my experience and offered to re-make my food. While I appreciated the offer I was just over it and ready to leave. The manager, Brian, paid for my meal. I've been to First Watch many times and will go back. Thank you Brian for making things right and not allowing the bad experience be the last thing I remember.

Went for brunch at noon on Saturday. About a 15 minute wait. Efficient service. Pay at the cashier on the way out. Great selection of food,drink and sweets. Healthy items too. We had stacked egg sandwich. Very tasty with avocado, gruyere cheese and bacon. Too much arugula on sandwich it was overpowering and I do like the peppery taste. Otherwise everything was good.
