    Was not fond of being seated at the middle table of 3 with a shared long booth that went the length of 3 separate tables and honestly, 2½ years ago, I wouldn't have cared. Nowadays, trust in people and their wellness is always something at the forefront of concerns. Had there been more than 10-12 inches of room between the tables so it was more easily accessible, it would've been okay cause I'm not that worried but do have slight concerns. I had to really squeeze to get in and getting out. However, the food was delicious! The regular side of bacon was amazing and certainly is the best bacon ice ever had at a restaurant. My boyfriend loved the Million Dollar Bacon, too! He had the turkey sausage gravy and biscuit, I had the Parma Hash Skillet and it was all so delicious! We will definitely be back again soon!

    My first visit to First Watch. A long wait on a Sunday morning, but short waits are for places that are lousy. I love the atmosphere here, although the outer room we sat is was a bit chilly. The food was outstanding! We dove in to eat so quickly that I forgot to take pictures. The lemon ricotta pancakes are amazing and the short rib poutine hash is different and delicious. They have a decent sized menu and I look forward to trying more things.

    Rating: 4.4 Stars While I typically always get pancakes at brunch places, the Power Wrap is the one savory brunch item that I order. I really like the combination of flavors, and it is a healthy choice. The components compliment each other perfectly. The Pico de Gallo was a little watery, but it was pretty tasty. Also, you can never go wrong with fresh fruit! Lastly, the coffee is very tasty.

    Very delicious and filling for the price. If you want coffee, they bring you your own large pot. The multi-grain plate-sized pancakes were soft and delicious and the syrup was in a heated glass bottle. My server, Taylor, was friendly, courteous, and professional. Various seating arrangements were available including a bar booth near the entrance, large family tables, dinettes (seats 2), and single/solo tables (probably just for the coffee, tea drinkers and light breakfasts). Glad I tried this place even though I lived up the street when they first opened years ago.

    Very cool brunch spot, food is delicious and beautifully plated. I highly suggest the Honey Caramel cold brew coffee drink, and the smoked salmon eggs Benedict were delectable! Will definitely be back!

    Really loved the place. The BLT eggs benedict was exquisite. Love the hint of lemon. I enjoyed my tea and my hubby had his morning coffee and an omelette. Yum

    Love First Watch, come here every now and then when we crave it. Never disappointed, nice servers, comfortable atmosphere. Food and drinks taste fresh and delicious 😋

    We love the Kale tonic juice & order it every time we visit. There is typically a wait on Sunday morning so download the App & reserve your time up to a half hour beforehand. You may still have to wait a bit, but better to do this than not. You will still need to check in once you arrive. I like the avacado toast and cheesy grits. The food is consistantly good. Our server, Olivia, was friendly and competent.

    A very comfortable atmosphere. Be prepared for a wait for up to 30 minutes when it’s busy. The food is delicious and the service is fast but incredibly friendly. They know regulars by name and usually have their orders memorized

    Another amazing brunch at one of my all-time favorite restaurants!! Brought my mom and sister here as a break from my dad's hospital stay (he loves it too!) and what a welcome distraction having Alexa take care of us...she's not only affable and charming but knows the menu well...we had a delightful experience and appreciate excellent service when we see it - we're an old school Italian restaurant family!! Keep up the good work, FW and Alexa...you're both going to great heights!! IMHO, always order the biscuits and gravy!!

    Fist time here for brunch. Had an amazing avocado toast and egg sandwich with delicious seasoned potatoes. My sister in law had the lemon ricotta pancakes which she said was scrumptious. My brother got the eggs benedict. Needless to say we joined the clean plate club. Service was excellent, the restaurant clean, my only complaint (and it is a reach), we sat in the entryway and it is pretty loud and echos...a lot. Sit inside for a more enjoyable experience. I most definitely will be back again.

    Just came back from breakfast here and all I can say is wow! Its our first time here and I am sorry I didn’t try it sooner. Ive driven past countless times and it is very misleading. Its an unassuming building that is easily missed. It almost looks vacant sometimes. Today changed all that. My daughter stated many times that she wanted to check it out but always looked closed. Even this morning as we pulled in she said, “wait. Is it open?” The outside is no indication of what awaits you inside. The atmosphere and decor is beautiful and very cozy. Its fairly large and spacious with big comfy booths. I loved it straight away! But the best thing is the menu. There are so many choices with interesting dishes. I had the Summer Crab Omelet which was cooked to perfection. No browned crispy egg here...phew! It had lots of fresh crab and perfectly crisp, not mushy veggies. It was different and so good! My daughter loved hers too. The potatoes are to die for. Seriously everything...the toast, strawberry jam, the coffee. Just excellent! Our server was so pleasant and efficient. It was one of the best restaurant experiences ever. If you haven’t yet, just go. You wont be disappointed!

    I was visiting from out of state and I kept hearing about this place from locals so I went and was not disappointed. Everything tasted as good as it looked on the menu. The prices aren’t half bad either, especially for the generous portion sizes too.

    Always great food BUT the service is hit or miss ...

  • 3/5 Lorraine B. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything on the menu sounded amazing and the Eggs Benedict BLT did not disappoint! Knocked a star off because the food wasn’t exactly warm and they served tap water. The service was ok, but it was obvious they were understaffed for how busy it was (noon on a weekday). Our server seemed stressed and overwhelmed, hopefully this was a one off and management provides the servers and hostesses the support they require to perform their very best.

    My new favorite breakfast spot. The friendliest hostess greeted us and our waitress Jay was friendly and attentive. The place (including bathroom) was very clean and the atmosphere was so comfy. And the food was SUPERB. The Morning Meditation juice is amazing... I would never have guessed that something with beets in it could taste so good. And the HUGE Banana Granola pancake made me wish my eyes weren't bigger than my stomach today. I couldn't finish it, but it was DEEEElicious. Have a meal here soon, you'll thank me 🙂

    Their breakfast is top notch for sure...more of a "healthier" breakfast with better quality ingredients..I love a "small diner breakfast" as much as the next guy but this is just WAY better IMO

  • 5/5 Jessica W. 2 years ago on Google
    First Watch never lets me down. As always my food and drink was good. However, I was a little disappointed today. I tried the Hacienda Hash! Little to no chorizo at all. My only issue with my order. Don't be so cheap next time guys! We like your food but as a loyal customer we want our money's worth!

  • 2/5 Emily K. 2 years ago on Google
    These ricotta lemon pancakes were very dry. I have had them before and they were moist. I tried to moisten them with syrup but it was too sicky sweet. I think they also forgot to add a little salt to the mix. These are really basic baking/cooking things. Bad quality overall. I am disappointed.

  • 3/5 Trevor H. 2 years ago on Google
    Wait times are always pretty long. I ordered the short rib hash. It was...ok... the short rib was tender and flavorful, the potatoes were under seasoned and bland. The cheese curds were very good. The coffee is pretty good. Price isn't horrible.
