Jun 06, 2026"Came here on a weekend morning and left really happy, Broccoli Cheddar Soup - Creamy, comforting, Perfect richness without feeling heavy. Must try: Cheesecake Hole-y Donuts - Oh my gosh, these are dangerous. If you're craving breakfast or lunch, yummy but won't wreck your day, First Watch is a winner."

Mar 12, 2026"One of the best breakfast spots in Knoxville, First Watch delivers an upscale brunch experience with chef-crafted, high-quality fresh food. From the moment you walk in, the warm atmosphere and inviting aroma set the stage for a fantastic meal. I ordered The Works omelet with seasoned potatoes and a Belgian waffle, and every bite was a delight. The omelet was generously stuffed with fresh, flavorful ingredients, creating a rich and satisfying dish. The potatoes were perfectly crispy and well-seasoned, adding the ideal crunch to complement the meal. As for the waffle—it had a subtle cinnamon sugar touch, and when paired with the butter, the balance of sweetness and richness was just right. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory or sweet, be prepared for a meal that will leave your taste buds happy and your mouth watering!"
