Take your time and money elsewhere..This past Sunday my family and I chose to visit the Mill Run First Watch for my birthday. When we arrived there were to people to be sat ahead of us and a wait of 15 minutes, gave my phone number, and we sat in the entry area. During our wait i started noticing groups our size (4) or larger (a college age group of young ladies) being sat before us. We were starting to get very frustrated, I asked how much longer and the original hostess with blonde hair told me 25 -30 more minutes! I asked how that was possible, I still had not been texted or name called out. I explained how long we had been there, that I had been watching them and listening closely ...and my special needs son was getting very frustrated (hes 8), as any child would be, as my teenager and husband were too. We waited a little while longer, I could tell by then the morning rush was fully upon us, we got up to leave and ironically I got the text to be seated.I was very annoyed to see a family we know already being served their food when they came in AFTER us. We had arrived earlier since we know about the sunday crowds, and did not want to make our special needs son anxious with a long wait. Obviously that did not go as planned.We placed our order with the server, which she was nice but we only saw her 3x during our visit. Once to get our order in, another when she got our drinks and at the very end to give us our check.Our food came for 3 of us, somehow my sons childrens waffle dish took almost another 10 minutes, each time a different server came with the food, and my husband had to get the attention of another server twice to get another chocolate milk, and water for our table.My eggs and my husbands had little eggshell bits in them, the waffle my daughter had was mushy in the middle, and her bacon was so hard and blackened that she broke a bracket off her braces. (Which I am very agitated needing to take time off my business to take her for an ortho visit).I could not believe how bad everything was start to finish. As soon as we got our son fed we asked for the check from the 1st server as she was at another table. When we checked out for some reason the girl at the register said my birthday entree wasnt able to be scanned from my email so my husband asked she take it off or get a manager. She got it off and then acted surprised when we said we wanted the receipt. It was such a disapointing experience. My son with his bad morning experience set the tone for the day.This location has had its ups and downs in past years,.. right now I strongly recommend going elsewhere and supporting a local private business.

Ordered the Belgian waffle -- it's a little too light and airy, not much different than a cheaper version elsewhere. I wish they would serve something a little more substantial. Otherwise, the location is nice and my waitress was very attentive.

Great breakfast foods for reasonable prices. I've been here twice before, once ordered the Traditional breakfast, and this last time the spicy seoul seasonal dish, pictured in this review. It was outstanding. Great flavor, moderate spice level, enough food to fill me up, and really well presented. My fiancée ordered this coffee, I can't quite remember the name, but it was so good and hard to beat price-wise since it was less than $6. Service was good and the restaurant is clean and nice looking inside. If you want a good breakfast, either traditional or non-traditional dishes, be sure to check this place out.

Coffee was fine, but the egg sandwich that some rave about is gross. The "brioche" bun is more like a normal hamburger bun. The over easy egg in the sandwich squirted all over the place like projectile vomit on my first bite (that one was partly on me because I didn't realize the egg was over easy - it was stated on the menu). The mayo was glopped on what May have been sautéed spinach had an anchovy taste (not tasty). The country potatoes were ok but had an overpowering herb/spice taste. The staff seemed friendly and the place was packed. It's definitely a place that's happening around here so maybe my experience was unique, but if I ever go back I'll be passing on the sandwich.

Good food here. I get the power breakfast quinoa bowl. They have good options for diets. The only issue is the crowded restaurant and long wait times to get seated.

Excellent example of price gouging $5.29 for a pear punch? $2.39 for a 30 cent egg white? Good tasting food but avoid any extras. Disappointing.

Food and service was great. It was our first time there and will definitely be going back. Even though it was packed when we got there the staff made everything flow really well. Food didn't take long at all and it was delicious.

Enjoy a late breakfast. Ordered a trifecta which arrived freshly cooked & hot. As good as ever.
