    Love love love, my wife and I have now been to 2 locations! Each time it gets better and better! The food is so fresh words can't explain. I wish there was a way to put taste on a review but I can't. You have to give this place a shot, there isn't anything bad on the menu. Had a bloody Mary today with million dollar bacon and it was amazing! If you love fresh ingredients then get down here now and give it a try, I promise you won't be disappointed!

    Horrible phone service! They hung up on me several times regarding an Uber order I placed. After the order was already placed (the you pick two), I called to verify the sandwich and salad being that the app had no options. They told me that it is only a dine in option, however my order was already placed. Then they told me when the order comes through that they will provide me with the items I requested. A couple of minutes later they cancelled my order on Uber. I do not understand why they had to lie to me. I go here all the time. This made me not want to come or recommend anyone here ever again! Just be honest and help your customers. If you where going to cancel the order, you should've just told me. I truly don't get it.

    Michelle our server let me taste the citrus hibiscus punch as it was our first time here. Let's just say it tastes amazing. Our breakfast was so good and the service was outstanding. I would highly recommend you Dining here. Don't just drive by stop in as I did with my wife Nancy. Thank you for a great start of our day. Will definitely return. 💯

    From the presentation to the service to the atmosphere to the food itself, everything was phenomenal! The attention to detail and the health my ingredients of this taco dish blew my mind; this wasn’t just a colorful dish on a plate, this was a wide array of healthy ingredients that tasted amazing when it all came together, and you can feel it when you take that first bite. Although not from the area, I can bet this is definitely a local favorite!

    Jessica is an amazing server!! She was so friendly, knowledgeable and attentive!! The food was hot, fresh and flavorful. Don’t go to First Watch very often. However, it is now our favorite breakfast/lunch place!!! Thank you Jessica for making our day extra special and accommodating all our food allergies!! 💯% AWESOME!!!

  • 1/5 Review R. 2 years ago on Google
    No this is so unacceptable, I witnessed a Frist Watch Employee do something that is every unacceptable especially right now with Covid-19 on the rise, while waiting for my check to pay an employee wearing a Grey Shirt with elbow length shelves, blonde hair held up this a pinkish bow wearing blue jean pants open a chocolate bottle with her mouth, the piece of plastic that is one the outside when u frist open it, she was trying to open it with her hands & instead of grabbing a knife, fork, someone else to help, anything to help with opening that piece of plastic, she pulled down her mask look back to see if anyone was looking & turned to the side & proceeded to remove the piece of plastic with her mouth, then once it was opened she finished the job with her hand, what got me was that the chocolate was ment for the next tables nexts to us, the little boys mother had ordered a him a chocolate milk with chocolate around the inside of the glass, I've called several time to speak to a supervisor, manager but no one answers, Frist Watch you should be ashamed of your employees or employee especially with the way Covid-19 is right now your employees put everyone at risk especially that little boy & his family.......

    This was disappointing because my wife and I love First Watch. The Million Dollar Club Sandwich tasted terrible. Not fresh and greasy. It did not have the fresh taste that First Watch is known for. Please work on quality control. We came at the end of the day but we deserved better as to quality and freshness. EDIT: First Watch corporate mailed my wife and I a coupon for $20. I went today and the food was so salty and gross that you couldn't really taste the food. Disappointing that the food has to be loaded with salt. Poor tasting. They need to change to that the food is healthy tasting instead.

    Although our food did not come out all together it was fantastic. They were nice enough to take off one entree which was greatly appreciated considering half the table was almost done eating when the other half got their food. We're understanding because of how busy it was, and will always go to one of our favorite restaurants. Our server was great and always followed up with us.

    Good food, tasty, quick service, but a bit pricey ... $40 for 2 people for breakfast, plus tip. Bananas foster french toast was great. Avocado toast was good, a bit bland.

    First Watch is an excellent place to get brunch! Food and service both exceeded expectations, we will be returning soon. We had the cinnamon chip pancake breakfast, works omelet and kale tonic.

    We spent a couple hours at this location visiting with out of town family. Our waitress, Debbie, was outstanding. Answered all of our questions and knew the menu extremely well. The restaurant was packed, but she did an amazing job. We will be back!

  • 5/5 Chelsea F. 6 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Debby was an absolute ray of sunshine. Your establishment is lucky to have her. Provided service so great I would have eaten shoe leather with a smile. Fortunately for us, the food and drinks were also fantastic. Top notch all around.

  • 1/5 Dana W. 4 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Found a hair strand in my double order of Pancakes and brought to the servers attention and she does a price adjust for one pancake off only. I calmly said um you forgot to delete the other pancake, says she will get the managers attention on this. She comes back and Viola the whole two pancake price of 9.99 was deleted and I only had to pay for my coffee and English muffin. Proper etiquette would have been the coffee as a courtesy for their default on top of my hairy experience which should have been an automatic item deleted. This is how you keep customers coming back after a bad experience.

  • 5/5 Ronald T. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for lunch. Great service and food at a reasonable price. I like their 1/2 sandwich and salad offering.

  • 2/5 Shayler L. 3 years ago on Google
    Took over 1.5 hours to get our breakfast food, 4 other tables got it before us. Out of those 4 tables only 1 got all their food at once. Waiter was really nice. The food was alright and typical priced for the area. Outdoor seating which was nice.

  • 5/5 Cristine B. 3 years ago on Google
    Love love love this place, the ambiance is excellent and the service is amazing. I recently discovered this restaurant and I've been to 3 of their places in the last week, every time the experience is awesome. Last time I ordered the morning meditation juice, which has beets and ginger among other things, totally recommend, so fresh and sweet, a perfect pair with any morning. For brunch I chose the smoked salmon frittata and wasn't disappointed, so delicious with sour cream and dried tomatoes, side of roasted potatoes and multi grain toast. Their strawberry jelly reminds me of grandma jams, so good.

  • 5/5 Roth W. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food, excellent service. Indoor and outdoor seating. All from scratch with great coffee's and smoothie's.

  • 5/5 Nadia A. 3 years ago on Google
    Wow! We haven't eaten breakfast out in months and we were so glad to come to this First Watch location. I got the Monterey 1/2 sandwich and Kale salad and it was delicious! My kids got eggs and bacon or chocolate chip pancakes. They loved it! My husband got the 1/2 roast beef and havarti and Cobb salad and also expressed how delicious it was. We weren't expecting such great food, because let's be real, most places just make bacon and eggs. This was a cut above. Well worth the money. For 4 of us to eat plus tip it was about $55.00. (Fun atmosphere and very clean too.)

  • 5/5 nicole o. 3 years ago on Google
    I loved it I’m not from here in from Miami where food is rly good and it exceeded my expectations. The food is rly good and comes in really big portions. I 100% recommend. Just don’t get too much food like we did lol, you can share whichever plate you want it’s huuugeee and the sever people are super super nice.... honestly couldn’t do better

    Service was authentic slow but they are always busy. Food was amazing as usual

  • 5/5 Taylor T. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was fantastic and Ceaph was a great server. He was kind, intelligent and kind to both me and my boyfriend throughout the entire experience. We experienced an error with the food and he was able to resolve the situation quickly providing exceptional service with ease. We will be returning based solely on our interaction with Ceaph! He is the highlight of this location and should be recognized as such.

  • 5/5 Peter B. 4 years ago on Google
    Four of us had lunch here on Feb. 18 and were all impressed. A beautiful, classy restaurant with a wide range of options, including healthy choices. The food was great, portions were large and the service was fine. This is not the most affordable place in the area, but offers good value and is classier than the others we have visited. The only drawback is the popularity, so it took a while to find a parking spot.

  • 5/5 VICKI K. 3 years ago on Google
    Really good food excellent service and gave us a whole lot of coffee

  • 5/5 Rebecca c. 3 years ago on Google

    Really poor quality here! Poached eggs came out like rocks, out of sugar substitute for coffee, said there was a national shortage, which was b.s.!

  • 1/5 Andrew S. 3 years ago on Google
    Unreal! Horrible place and horrible pricing! I ordered a waffle and asked them to throw in a second waffle since it cost $8.00++ and they said they would have to charge me for a second waffle if I get two! Who does that? I thought the customer was always right? I will gladly amend my review to 5 stars if they oblige like I requested.

  • 1/5 Imani O. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was bad.HAIR ON MY FOOD!! yogurt bowl tasted sour, grilled cheese wasn’t fully cooked. i got my coffee and it was mainly milk and it tasted like water . the waitress was aggressive and rude, and did not treat us nicely and threw the straws at us and got upset when we asking for creamer.i’m giving it a one star because the muffin was alright.

  • 1/5 D. G. 3 years ago on Google
    Horrible service. First we were seated at dirty table. Then we waited almost 15 minutes for a server who seemed not to want to be bothered. When our order arrived the sandwiches seemed “thrown” together and the soups were dripping all over the sides of bowls onto the plates with the sandwiches. Server only ever came back to give us check, never asked how anything was or if we needed anything else.

    Just a couple of Jersey girls finding a place for brunch and ran into this place. It is a must go! I had the brioche French toast and they melted in my mouth! They make their own bread! My friend had the Sunny platter breakfast with applewood bacon and she enjoyed every bite! The servers were so pleasant! This is going to be our favorite breakfast/lunch spot!

  • 5/5 Rajiv H. 5 years ago on Google
    I love this place. It's great food and environment. Their baked goods will make you wish you had more cheat days in your schedule. But the servers are what keep me coming back. Ask for Sarah or Ashley and you'll have a great dining experience.

  • 5/5 Vaclav A. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the first places my family went to eat while in Florida. The place is very welcoming and cozy, one can't help but feel good while here! The food was in large portions and absolutely delicious. My daughter (6 years old) ended up eating her own plate and her grandpas, absolutely loving it. Our waitress Ms. Jessica was very attentive and ensured we were not lacking anything at any given time. I am pretty sure we found our favorite place to have a family meal.

  • 4/5 Food M. 3 years ago on Google
    For sure you get to taste Fresh Ingredients. Reminds you of home cooked food. Very Generic menu. Good collection Pastries and seasonal cookies for Fort Myers. Overall: Good for a weekend’s Brunch with Family. Food Maniac.

  • 2/5 Pamela B. 3 years ago on Google
    I often come here alone. And most times I wait and wait to be served. I feel invisible here though by now the staff should recognize me. I have this place more than enough chances. I’m moving on.

    Good food but the eggs are always burnt/overcooked, you can smell the burnt eggs immediately! Eggs should never be brown, and very watery which is strange.

    Second time ordering to-go. Second time they screwed up the order. That’s 100% fail rate. Called to get taken care of. Was told I can only get the item replaced when I return. I ordered to go. Why would you think I have time to waste going back there to have it corrected? You’ve lost a customer. Good job.

    Excellent place to start the day coffe is delicious the breakfast is one of the best in the area portions are big and prices are very reasonable. Dianna was our server she was great ill back asap

  • 3/5 Melinda A. 2 years ago on Google
    One of our favorite restaurants. They no longer do curbside pickup at this location and don't notify when our pick up order was ready. We left for the location as soon as our order was placed to pick up promptly (10 minutes for a 17 minute order), but everything was cooler than room temperature and either over or under cooked. Hoping it was just an off day for an otherwise fantastic restaurant.

  • 5/5 B W. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a great time here! The food is amazing! The staff is great. They are always packed on the weekends so prepare for a wait.

  • 4/5 Fatina A. 2 years ago on Google
    The healthy turkey is one of the few "healthier" options they offer. It was pretty salty between the deli turkey and feta but it still had a decent flavor. The coffee is not that great... Need to upgrade on that. Overall for a quick stop it's ok but not great.

  • 5/5 Ilce R. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the most valuable places i have known in SWF, a very clean and relaxing place to start your day.

  • 5/5 Ivan G. 2 years ago on Google
    The meals here are satisfying and definitely generous when it comes to portions to satiate any hungry customer. The atmosphere is pleasant and a wonderful escape from the normal breakfast stops. The special menu are the true caveats for those wishing to try new flavors with enough staple favorites to have all coming back. The staff is always courteous and a free birthday meal, provided you sign up for their program online, during your birthday month. While it's only open until 2, it's worth getting up and making it over. If you're like me who don't like waiting, use their application to reserve a table in advance. It's come in clutch way too many times.

  • 2/5 Britney W. 2 years ago on Google
    I waited 10 minutes for my sever to acknowledge me. She chased me down as she saw me making my way to the waitress desk to ask about my server. Even another family questioned that I had not been waited on. When she final acknowledge me, she stated that she saw me and wanted to get a plate of the table before a bird ate the food. I never received a refill. She came back and I was just about done with my salad that was Drenched in dressing. She asked if I wanted a box and I told her that I wanted my check and would like to speak with a manager. That manager took a while to come speak with me as well. However, he did take care of my check. But I pay for experience, and it wasn’t peasant.

  • 5/5 McKenzie S. 1 year ago on Google
    CLEAN HEALTHY DELICIOUS FOOD!!! One of the few restaurants I can walk away from nowadays feeling completely satisfied instead of weighed down from excess oil/salt/sugar. Food was extremely tasty and well-crafted. Menu has lots of yummy options for veggie lovers. Wait staff was lovely as well.

  • 5/5 Nickole D. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place first thing in the morning or for brunch! Great service and wholesome food! Love that they cater to gluten intolerance and serve GF bread as a substitute for no upcharge! Try their bloody mary!

  • 4/5 Michael B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for brunch with the wife. Food and service was excellent

  • 5/5 Juel N. 1 year ago on Google
    5/5 stars for the staff alone. For years my family and I have only been to one First Watch location and this was the first time we went to a different one. The vibe is completely different and welcoming. I will say that at this location the food was a little too well done but this could also be because it was packed and they might have been rushing orders. Overall I would highly recommend.

  • 1/5 M Z. 1 year ago on Google
    The one star is for the food because the food was decent. The service however, a joke. MEGAN our waitress was probably the worst I’ve ever experienced. It wasn’t busy at all when we walked on around 9am on Tuesday 4/25. She sat us, came to take our order (wasn’t helpful with suggestions at all) when I asked if there were any popular items she said “everything is popular” with a very unbothered/dismissive demeanor. I wanted to order an alcoholic beverage and she asked me for an ID which I had left in my car so I went to go get it later.. She brought our food & NOT ONCE DID SHE COME CHECK IN ON HOW THE FOOD WAS. I’ve never had a “waitress” not check in, that’s like rookie 101 stuff. Now I’m not one to bring race into anything but I couldn’t help but notice how different her “service” was with my sister and I (Hispanic) compared to another pair of customers that came in (Caucasian). She didn’t mind that the man didn’t have his ID at all and she was actually friendly to them & checked in on them. I had to flag down the cashier to bring us the check since Megan clearly wasn’t doing her one job. We then found out when Megan came to finally get our plates (still didn’t see how everything was) that we had to pay up at the front. Say that from the beginning! How frustrating this experience was is beyond me. Two days later & I’m now writing a review about it because it was that awful. Management - do better with hiring your staff. Megan being biased to who she wants to serve won’t help your establishment in the long run.

  • 5/5 Smntha R. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is very good and the drinks are amazing! They freshly squeeze their juices In the morning. If you go in right at 7 a.m. when they open you can hear the juicer running in the back. The food is very fresh! You can tell just by the look of the dish how bright it is, then the taste just makes it.

    Went to two locations while visiting Florida. Both were clean and had great service. My eggs Benedict was good flavor but the eggs were not poached. They were more of a slightly underdone hard boiled egg. I was a bit disappointed in that. Otherwise I will definitely eat at any of their locations again.

    Totally disappointed with this location which I’ve visited multiple times. How do I begin, I am a pet friendly person but if your dog is barking outta control over the sight of another dog, maybe you shouldn’t bring your rowdy dog to a restaurant, disappointed that no one from management said a word. I ordered the Brisket Hash breakfast and was extremely disappointed with the dish, the plate had a ton of potatoes and next to no brisket. Lastly, I was disappointed at the cashier as she was more interested in getting my bill than asking me how my dining experience was. Our dining bill came out to $70 for 2 people and I basically had a large plate of potatoes, I don’t think I’ll be eating at First Watch for quite a while.

    Walked in and ordered Million Dollar Harvest Hash. Won over right away. Waitress who served us didn't mind us walking in with our own coffee. Healthy food. Good atmosphere to sit and talk or work.
