First Watch 11682 Parkside Drive, Knoxville, TN 37934

"First Watch feels like your grandma's diner - if your grandma went to culinary school and then modern architecture. The food is well paired and seasoned American diner fair - no plain 3 note dishes here. A touch of spicy, a dab of sweet, a tiny bit of some herb that reminds you of gardening. It's like Los Angeles got a hold of a diner, made it ready for the movies, but forgot to redo the pricing. The staff has all the charm of a southern home. They offered ice water to go and were very present when checking in on the table. I highly recommend!"

"Waitress was super sweet and let us know that the kitchen was about 45m-1hr behind…. We ordered poinsettia’s and this is the glass that we were served with. Absolutely disgusting."

"Cool. Sat with little doggie outside. Avocado toast (#1 on their menu). Tasty! Worth the wait. Crowded on a Saturday morning. Wife had pancakes with a lemon taste that she really enjoyed. Fun saying hi to other dog owners who also were sitting outside with their doggies. Waitress was good and professional. Edit1) Potato skillet w/eggs over easy farmer style. Ummm good! Wife had pancakes with lemon taste again. Sat outside with our dog. Waitress was very kind and attentive! Very enjoyable experience. Yay!"

"After this locations health score last month, I was skeptical to go back to our preferred location. Always wait in the online queue, especially if you go on a Sunday! The food was delicious as always, the eggs were fine and hopefully kept correctly. Also the gluten free options are quite tasty"

"I got The farmhouse Skillet which was amazing! The best breakfast that I've had in a long time! Served with two eggs, potatoes, bacon, roasted red peppers, a little onion, cheese and seasoned wonderfully. It was nice getting a pot of hot coffee at your table! The service was amazing! And the seating was not overcrowded."
