    Food is good, service is average; for four adults and 1 child it was $75 plus tip. Location is near Home Depot. They do not serve alcohol before 11am on Sundays. That’s the county everywhere tho. I recommend this location and would go back.

    This location was a shock to me. Most of my table was dirty, the utensils and the mug were not washed correctly. Attached images for proof. Had the watermelon seasonal drink and it was the most disgusting juice I’ve had in years. It tasted like watermelon rim & swallowed too paste. The veggie omelette was pretty good overall. I was hesitant with eating the food but I didn’t want to ruin the time that I had with my friend. I would try another first watch location as I’ve never had any problems with any of them. Place was pretty packed on a Thursday afternoon.

    I've been to many, many FW's, and they are near always very pleasant experiences...as was this one! Food was hot and prompt (I opted for the Bacon Benedict), and service was great (ask for Luna). Will certainly return when next in the area!! Bon Appétit!

    The utensils 🍴 are so dirty, it seems like they just put water for 5 seconds and call it a day the ambient is loud and slow on weekends. Bring your own forks guys. It is also more expensive than the first watch I went to in Orlando and they have the same food

    I am a regular at this breakfast spot and although I love their food- this location recently got new cooks and my last visit was a disaster. However, my other 10 visits were great and it can get pretty busy on the weekends. I wish the crab cake Benedict was a staple menu item… a girl can only wish

    Food was delicious and looked great! Gave them 4 stars because I took my Food to go, can't speak on customer service. Will be dining in when I return.

    Went to this location yesterday and ordered a turkey burger with seasoned potatoes and the chicken pesto power bowl. The turkey burger and power bowl was delicious 😋. The seasoned potatoes were not all done thoroughly so most of those were thrown away. The service was ok, could have been better. I will definitely return, but I will let the know about the seasoned potatoes cook.

    So far everything I’ve tried from First Watch has been great. The Miami Gardens First Watch has been the only one I’ve tried and they always deliver. The staff has been great and most importantly so has the food!

    Unnnnnnnnnn-derwelmed,...satisfied,...impressed.... 01. Told the waitress I was lactose intolerant and she wanted me to be specific in what I didn't want. Okay, no cheese, cream or butter. Why did I get butter on the toast and then she never returned with any toast. My colleague didn't get his grits nor was it corrected. 02. First off, after taking the order, no silverware with the coffee or water to fill the glasses. We waited 45 minutes to be seated and then were told we needed another 30 minutes for the kitchen to expo the food. Why NOT tell me that before we decide to wait for a table. Now, let me chase down another server for straws to mix our coffee. All in all, I prefer to go to a boutique restaurant and pay more than deal with the corporate shortcomings (poor management) of this place.

    Love the franchise and this location maintained my admiration for First Watch. Anything on the menu is fair game, but my favorite of all has always been their delicious banana granola pancakes. Also, can't go wrong with the trifecta.

    This was my first time and I’ll be back. From the moment I walked in I was welcomed and sat immediately. Brian was our server and was nothing short of amazing! Great service very attentive. Had the works omelette. It was made just how I like it, not dry and stuffed with meats. The potatoes were a little overcooked to my liking, but Brian made sure to get me a fresh batch cooked to my liking! I also tried the 2 eggs with Belgian waffle. The waffle tasted light. The blueberry compote was delicious. Hot, fresh syrup given one the die The iced coffee also was surprisingly good. The restaurant was very clean. Many food options to choose from for whatever mood you are in. It’s in a plaza so plenty of parking.

    Food was a great atmosphere. was pleasant and a little busy, but that's a great thing because you know the food is not sitting around service my waiter I had to ask for everything napkins water I don't think she did even tell my tale her name. Now, with a place that is busy, have someone check the bathroom with no paper towels to dry my hands .

    Worst food ever, I ate at this location a couple years ago and the food was amazing, I was very disappointed when I got served this food and I will never come back or recommend this restaurant. I visit this outlet on 01/02/23 at 12:50 pm

    I just love First Watch, its food is great and the staff is amazing. Every time I come here, I try something different since they’re always coming up with new dishes. In my opinion, the cooks are top of the line and they never disappoint. The staff is very friendly and engaging with the customers adding a certain attention to detail missing from many places today. Highly recommended for those who want a great breakfast experience with a serene atmosphere.

    I ordered the pesto chicken bowl for take out. It was absolutely disgusting. There was no pesto, two pieces of kale and some shredded carrots, and two halves of tomato. The chicken was RAW. I tipped for a take out service as well. And this is what I get? Absolutely terrible. I'm in healthcare and don't have time to go buy another lunch

  • 3/5 Jeremiah C. 1 year ago on Google
    They food was very good the only problem was our waitress was basically rushing us to leave she started wiping and cleaning the table as we were still eating

  • 5/5 Greg J. 8 months ago on Google
    I went here for breakfast. I ordered the Chile chorizo omelette. I didn't have any extra sides such as bacon but that is on the menu. The omelette came with salad and I had fruit substitutes for the bread. The drink was coffee. I did have some water with this. Overall good

  • 5/5 Mirana T. 6 months ago on Google
    Had a great brunch here! The waiters are amazing - we asked for a table with a booth and were quickly given one despite it being busy. There was a bit of a wait for the food but overall it came out yummy. The kale tonic is wonderful & refreshing, I need the recipe lol.

  • 4/5 Karen K. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious as always at this chain. My only reason it’s not 5 stars is because I got a up charge of $4 to add spinach and peppers to my omelet. I guess it had to stay plain when ordering the trifecta.

  • 1/5 Britney L. 1 year ago on Google
    I use to frequent this location often and never had any issues. However, the last two visits have not been the best. On the last two occasions, I ordered take out. Each time, the staff at the front desk did not greet me, and never asked what I was waiting for. They just let me sit there waiting until I finally had to ask for the status of my order. On the last visit, not only was my order ready long after the time it was supposed to be ready, the avocado was brown and the lettuce was old.

  • 5/5 Mario G. 9 months ago on Google
    Food and service was great. I had the biscuits with turkey sausage gravy and it was simply the best! Can't wait to try some of their other dishes.

  • 5/5 Laura M. 1 year ago on Google
    Is always great to eat here. John is great, always attentive and personable. The food is always on point, I drive from Hollywood to this location all the time because of the service and food experience.

  • 5/5 M M. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome! Can't go wrong. Great food! Great place to enjoy a freshly cooked breakfast. Even better service. Everyone is extremely friendly. Gigi and Andrea were very helpful and attentive. John was at the top of his game making sure the orders were right and Paulina greeted us with a beautiful smile. Awesome!!!

  • 5/5 Denise M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is always fresh and the atmosphere is great with good vibes. Our waiter John is the best

  • 4/5 Valerie 2 years ago on Google
    Get there early! We walked in before 10:00 a.m. and we were quickly seated within 5 minutes. The atmosphere is very loud and busy like a nightclub. Although they do not serve alcohol they do have some nice fresh pressed juices and coffees. The iced coffee was smooth and sweet. I decided to get one of their seasonal menu items for fall the truffle hash. The breakfast potatoes were diced although I thought they were going to be smaller or even like hash brown style. It was very good & I was happy I ordered toast with it. The food did take a while to come out however it was nice and hot when it did come. I was very satisfied with the kids orders of a chocolate chip pancake that came with bacon and it was very large. I will be honest I was surprised at the bill it was more expensive than I thought it was (family of 4) but again the food was very good.

  • 5/5 biancaxoxo 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service, the guy who served us was literally the nicest plus the ladies at the front were super nice. Very attentive, the food was amazing. the place overall had a beautiful vibe.

    It’s so unfortunate. This is the only first watch that I go to and I receive terrible customer service. I usually go to the one in Pembroke Pines location, Miami is a totally different ballgame. I ordered my food and when it came out the order was wrong happened that I informed the manager (Roxanne) who was in passing and instead of offering to replace my meal she tried to be argumentative regarding the manner. My plate was just taken off my table and Neither the manager (Roxanne) or waitress (Luna) didn’t once asked if I wanted something else even though I sat with a menu in front of my lap for 10 minutes. I waited till my kids finished their meal which included pancakes that were literally crumbling like cornbread. I left hungry and shocked, they’re running this place like a fast food joint.
