First Watch

Every location. The food is always amazing and reliable. But this time we had a wonderful server name Laura. She was bubbly and fun and we really appreciated her attentive this and fun conversation. Go by and see her when you can! Definitely have $1 million bacon.

Jackie was exceptionally amazing. Entire time was very attentive and friendly. Great customer service would definitely be back for the food and for service like hers!!

Jose is an awesome waiter! So courteous and on top of things. We tried some things from the seasonal menu and it was all delicious! Will be back!

Me and my husband decided to try this location out, and it was an enjoyable experience. The restaurant is neat and clean, the food tasted fresh! And the employees we're very welcoming and friendly. Does places perfect for people that are lactose intolerant, and gluten intolerant like myself.

Jose was an amazing waiter and very attentive!! P.s. we had 7 people in which 5 were kids. He was extremely patient!! Our new breakfast spot!! #Yaaee!!

I came in with my family for a breakfast and had an incredible dining experience. The food was delicious and fresh. We also had Sydney as our server and she was warm, welcoming and just very on top of everything to make sure we had the best possible morning. If you go definitely ask for Sydney, she'll take great care of you!

First visit was great, José had (upon request) recommended the barbacoa tacos. Was a good choice had a few questions and Yoli wad VERY knowledgeable with lots of insight. Will be back for the French toast.

Great food and great service. Neyva truly went above and beyond to take care of our family of six. It’s not easy to find a place where all the kids love the food but First Watch absolutely delivered. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend!

My friend and I had a wonderful breakfast for the first at this place. Nayva was too detail on the food menus and helped with our restrictions, She just served us our food in no time. She is wonderful. Am definitely going back.

Jose was our waiter, he was very attentive. We ate outside. I was able to get sun and the food was amazon. I will definitely return

The ambiance of the First Watch restaurant is so classy and the staff is also as much. I give Neyva our server a great thumbs up for her pleasantry. I was a little uncomfortable with the preparation of my salmon and without me asking she replaced it and brought me more which was succulent. This place is awesome and I will return.

Neyva our server was great. She was super friendly, nice, kept me and girl drinks full never had to ask. The lunch choose two are great. We got the Monterey club and salad. Portion was bigger than expected salad was fresh.

Natallie was great, she provided exceptional service! 10/10 recommend her as a favorite server! Overall enjoyed my visit, was the the highlight of my morning and will definitely return as well as telling all my friends and family. Thanks Natallie!!

Chaleigh is an amazing waitress, she came to the table with a smile, gave us suggestions and was very professional. She exceeded our expectations and made us feel so welcome as well as her knowledge of various dishes. We were so impressed we will be returning for lunch.😇❤️

Vicki is an awesome waitress at East Village. We came in early right after opening with a child at 730am. She was very welcoming and provided a coloring set. Her customer service was awesome. We will be recommending this restaurant.

My favorite First Watch. Food is always great and the coffee is good enough to drink black but I always ask for oatmilk on the side. Our servers are always friendly, our most recent waitress (Neyva) was especially helpful and attentive.

The food was great, the waffle was delicious and easy to cut through. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to relatives and I would definitely come back to the restaurant again. The orange juice tasted freshly squeezed and overall, 5 stars. Thank you!

As a frequent visitor of this restaurant, this was our first time coming to this location and we had the best experience! I had the seasonal Double Bacon Parmesan Hash and the Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee. The hash was hands down the absolute best eggs I have ever had in my life. The only disappointment is that today was the last day of the seasonal menu! This would be a wonderful permanent option that I could only dream of!!!! The coffee was very sweet, but I have a big sweet tooth so it was perfect for me! Our server Kaitlynn also provided excellent service and completed our wonderful experience!

First off shout out to Natalie! Very clean place and welcoming and friendly staff/ environment. The food was and fresh and absolutely delicious. I’ve been to other First watch but the one on Parmer is the best by far. Me and my partner got everything off the seasonal menu and we got the blueberry lemon cornbread (I’m not a big fan of lemon) but my partner liked it. We both ordered the Chimichurri steak and egg hash bowl and it was very good highly recommend before it leaves the menu!

First Watch is my go to for a quality meal with affordable prices and good customer service! My daughter and I dropped in before running our Saturday errands and filled our bellies with lemon ricotta pancakes and waffles. I indulged with a orange juice mimosa and left feeling full and relaxed. I love the diverse environment of staff and patrons, and it's not to far from the house!

Here are my two great experiences I’ve had at this location: Natalie today was super wonderful. She provided a great and friendly service. She was fun and talkative and helpful with the menu! Sadly, I accidentally clicked the wrong button to tip and left way less than I intended or she deserved. She definitely deserves a raise and I hope to dine with her again next time so I can tip more! 🙏 Also, previously… Neyva was an amazing host and server! She was super kind and checked in on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying the food. She deserves a raise! Such a tasty restaurant filled with kind souls! We will keep coming! So glad this place opened so close from where we live:)

The food was amazing! It was perfectly seasoned so I didn't even need to add anything to it. Our server was very friendly and attentive and they made sure we had everything we needed. The gravy they use for my biscuits and gravy was turkey instead of beef which I love very much since I can't eat red meat. We will definitely be going back!

Each dish was a masterpiece, crafted with precision and passion, showcasing the chef's dedication to their craft. From the first bite to the last, it was an unforgettable experience that left me craving more. Everyone at the table loved the food ! I will definitely dinner next time !❤️

Great service, location wasn’t too bad but there is construction ongoing so be mindful. Bianca was very sweet and helpful when ordering and it was her first day. No wait, good food and great service.

This was my first time at this location and although there was about an 30 minute wait, it was worth it. Once we were seated,our waitress Laura was very prompt. She was patient and very helpful with answering menu questions. She was very sweet and professional

This is a one month old store for them, about the fifth 1 in the area, as you can see, just incredible. I had the Parma hash, she had the Waffle. Mine had a great mix of items and a couple eggs, potatoes, avocado, bacon. It came with a slice of toast. Very good ...hers, she said was great. She loved the Waffle. Everything they do is good, but they don't serve dinner. It's breakfast brunch and lunch enjoy..

The north east side needed a place like this! I had breakfast at this fairly new location recently, and the experience was all-around great. I ordered the Double Bacon Parmesan Hash, which is a huge portion and delicious. I also received excellent, personable service from Neyva - thanks for the recommendations! I will definitely return in the future.

Perfect location, great service, yummy food! Shout out to Jose for taking great care of us. We came in on a Sunday morning at 9:45 and had a small wait but not long at all. We will definitely be coming back!!

We stopped in for a quick birthday brunch during the week. They currently close at 2:30. I enjoyed my Salmon eggs Benedict, and my wife had the BLT eggs Benedict. Hers was missing the bacon, although she’s not a “must have bacon” kind of person. It would have been nice if the order had been correct. The mimosa and cold brew were good. The coffee was just right, and I only needed to add one small creamer.

I had the chance to try First Watch today for brunch, and what struck me right away was how spacious the restaurant felt, with an inviting interior and well-thought-out décor. The staff were cheerful and polite, and we were seated immediately with coffee arriving shortly after. As for the food, we ordered the Inspired Italian Omelet, pancakes, and the Rustic Frittata. Everything was served hot, in generous portions, and packed with flavor. The only minor drawback was that the potatoes were slightly undercooked, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. I also appreciated that most of the condiments were already on the table, saving us from having to flag someone down. Also, loved the fact that they were able to make modifications in accordance with our dietary restrictions. Slightly pricier than some of the other breakfast places, but all in all, it was a great visit, and I’m looking forward to going back again soon.

First off don’t listen to the bad reviews because my experience was amazing. Bryan was an amazing server, he was very nice and hospitable and made this experience welcoming! We definitely did get “good morning” by all staff that we came across. Got food, drinks & our order in quickly. Got check in’s from our server every so often. Bathrooms ARE clean and we had a baby and they had liners for when I had to change her diaper (most places don’t so I was happy). Environment is great. The staff is new so cut them some slack people, they just opened on MONDAY (few days ago). I think everyone’s doing their best and the food was amazing along with atmosphere. 5/5 for me :) I ordered the million dollar potato’s as a side along with the “Tri-Athlete” - but clearly I was hungry!

Morning meditation is a must, super rich and flavorful. Servers are very kind and quick. Music is tasteful and at a good volume. Id come back here again for sure! Chickenchanga was great! They were able to accommodate our group of 12 easily. Kaitlyn was super awesome and a great waitress

Akash Devdhar

We went in for a breakfast. Didn't have to wait to get seated but the parking was almost full and there is only this place open in the plaza. We ordered the frittata rustica and the salmon fritatta with side of potatoes and the morning meditation drinks. Both the dishes and drinks were good and food had a side of greens and a small slice of ciabatta bread. They were quick in bringing out clean silverware when I found mine to be dirty. Overall would go again. 9/10

Took my family out for birthday brunch about a week after Grand Opening. Everything was clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. Nice, calm vibes and decor. I got the Tri-fecta: Belgian waffle with bacon and scrambled eggs. The fruit compote adds the perfect amount of tartness to cut through the sweet. With 4 strips of crispy bacon included, this was priced just right and will probably be my go-to spot when I'm having waffle cravings! Husband got the Roast Beef & Havarti sandwich with a side of their broccoli cheese soup(-of-the-day). 11 year old chose the kid's menu Chocolate Chip Pancake (huge!), which came with 2 strips of bacon and a drink (he got a hot chocolate). Everyone sampled a bit of everything, and there was not a scrap of food leftover. All were full and satisfied, and I would highly recommend if you're looking for a reasonably priced, no-fuss place to enjoy a relaxed breakfast/brunch/lunch.

They hosted us at their soft opening last weekend! My daughter ordered the eggs Benedict 🍳 and I ordered lemon ricotta pancakes 🥞 with million dollar bacon, Superb! Great brunch any day of the week! Photo: Mint Mocha iced coffee

This was my first time eating at the First Watch and the food was absolutely delicious. The waitress made the experience even better. She was absolutely amazing and took the time to make sure that I was well taken care of. I plan to frequent the First Watch establishment

The food was delicious and came out quickly, which was a big plus. Service was excellent from start to finish our waitress, Chaleigh, was super friendly. You can tell the staff really care about making sure you have a good experience. It’s always a good time at First Watch!

Ordered the Bacado (omelet with bacon and avocado). Food was delicious and served promptly. Atmosphere was casual and inviting. Staff were friendly and attentive. This was our first time here and we will come back for sure.

Well I had not posted anything about my experience but the bot already replied..lol N-E-Way..nice place, clean, food was delicious and the stuff was great. Will definitely be back.

I recently dined at First Watch, and overall it was a solid experience, though not without a few areas that could be improved. The atmosphere was bright and inviting, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-kept. It had the familiar First Watch feel casual, relaxed, and great for breakfast or brunch. While the place was busy, it didn’t feel chaotic, which was appreciated. The food was good, but somewhat hit-or-miss. The ingredients tasted fresh, and portions were reasonable, but some dishes lacked the flavor depth I was expecting. Everything was prepared correctly, just not especially memorable. It’s dependable brunch food, but not quite standout on this visit. Service, however, was a highlight. Our server, Neyva, was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the meal. She greeted us warmly, checked in regularly, and made sure our drinks were refilled and our needs were met. Even during busier moments, she maintained a positive attitude and kept things moving smoothly. Her service definitely elevated the experience and made the visit more enjoyable. Overall, First Watch delivered a decent brunch with good service, but the food didn’t fully live up to expectations this time. With a bit more consistency and stronger execution in the kitchen, it could easily be a higher-rated experience. That said, the welcoming environment and excellent service from Neyva make it worth returning to give it another try.

Very nice, I will return. I got the salmon eggs Benedict very tasty but very skimpy on the salmon. The tomato was way more plentiful. You could barely taste that you had salmon 😔 Waiter Jose was very polite and tentative to our needs. The seating we got was wayyyyy in the back not at all a good spot.

Ordered breakfast for pick up which was reqlly convenient. I ordered directly from their website where the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast was available, as opposed to Door Dash where it wasn't listed. The parking lot was packed when arrived and people were waiting to be seated so it was a great option. My order was waiting for me and had only taken 12 minutes. I really appreciated the fact that if anything had been wrong with my order, they took accountability. The team member who checked my order was clearly identified by their name on the label of my bag. I had no complaints as everything was correct and my requests had been accommodated. The Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast left much to be desired. It might as well have been regular French toast with a few sliced strawberries. It had none of the soaked, rich, creaminess I was expecting. It was actually kind of dry. I would not recommend it. Chickichanga was decent, a rolled tortilla filled with chicken, chorizo, cheese, onions and chilies, topped with a vera cruz sauce that could have used more seasoning. Honestly, the highlight of the meal was the Million Dollar Bacon. Thick slabs of bacon that were crispy, with the perfect balance of sweet and heat. I'd order that again with some potatoes and eggs and be perfectly content. Though I wasn't impressed with the entire meal, it was a decent breakfast that was made in a timely manner and convenient.

It was a birthday brunch, a party of 3 adults and 3 children. My son and I ordered Eggs Benedict with salmon and grilled potato. Disappointed. Very little salmon therefore overpriced meal. Skimpy fruit bowl too. Service was excellent.

Really expensive for tasteless food. My two pieces of plain French toast was $15 before tip. It was barely warm, gross, tasteless and soggy. My husband's eggs, waffle, bacon and grits was over $20. The bacon was good buts that about it. Long wait times because the hostess stand was poorly managed. They kept sitting two people on a table that sits four. The parties that were three or more had to wait even longer. There were over 20 empty tables but we still had to wait 30 minutes. Super loud inside we could barely hear each other.
