Food is great and gluten-free friendly, but portions can be a bit small.
It's been packed every time we go and seemingly the waiting staff spread thin (open tables but no seating) so we've always sat at the bar. Service is great once you get it.
Unfortunately, though there's are tons of windows, all there is to look at is a parking lot and a freeway. Not much of a "watch".
All that said, prices are comparable to IHOP and Dennys with better service and atmosphere, so we prefer First Watch.
