Review by Helene Kulas

September 15, 2024

First Watch is a cozy spot perfect for a weekend brunch! ☀️ I loved the outdoor seating, where I enjoyed a refreshing fresh-squeezed orange juice alongside their Steak & Bacon Burrito. While the burrito was hearty, I found the bacon a bit lacking in flavor.

The Ginger Donuts were a sweet highlight, with delicious dipping sauces that stole the show! The service here is attentive, but it can vary - my second visit had slightly less enthusiastic staff. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you're craving brunch in Knoxville! 🍽️
