    First time ever visiting First Watch. This location is very clean. I let my server know it was my very first time trying the restaurant out and she went through the menu with me. Explain the seasonal (temporary) popular options from the restaurant and guided me to the best option for me. She was kind. As well as the cashiers and everybody else. I arrived shortly after opening and this location became packed quickly after my food was in the table. Of course is busy, it’s great! Thank you so much for having me and for now becoming one of my favorite “American Breakfast” type of restaurant - so happy this is close my home. Will definitely come back.

    Definitely one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. Sat, ordered and waited close to 30 minutes for cold food. We ordered an egg white "The Works" and the egg Benedicts with salmon. The eggs benedict had way overcooked eggs and part of the egg was blue and green. Finally got someone to come over from the group of severs standing in front of the kitchen by waving my hand and loudly asking for help since I didn't think I would have to get up from the table to get help. We asked if the eggs were normally prepared as they were more than hard boiled and were told that they're normally a "little runny." The server then didn't say anything and finally asked if we wanted different eggs. We did and that took another 15-20 minutes to get to the table. The meal ended with me having to get up and ask for a box since none of the servers standing around would make eye contact or end their conversations with the other servers. When checking out, we were asked how the meal was and we both replied that it was not great. The host then said, okay and asked for cash or card. I then tried asking how the day was going and what they were hiring for since they seemed overstaffed and was ignored until he gave us our receipt. Very upset that we paid full price for cold food and horrible service. We will definitely not be back especially since the restaraunt was not busy and I see the reasons why now.

    The butterfly pea drink was my favorite part of my breakfast. I had the avocado toast and it was fresh and yummy. First Watch is a chain but it's delicious.

    Our first time and we went for my daughter's birthday. Her breakfast was free which is s great way of getting new customers. Food portions were large and very good. Service was quick and food came out a little bit slower. I had a fall special - a skillet with sweet potato, Italy and bacon. Very good! We also tried the pumpkin pancakes and they ate also very good. The only downside was the corporate tone of the place. It felt very rehearsed and not personal.

    We drove by this place many times and never noticed it. What a great find! Super clean restaurant, indoor and outdoor seating, great staff. Bring a sweater for inside. Coffee was super smooth and meditation juice fresh and delicious. Great farmhouse skillet and omelette, everything seemed top notch and quality. Definitely recommend.

    This place is great. Make sure to call ahead though, as they are always busy. 4 stars because we ordered 2 bloody Mary's at the same time, one came out about 6 min later while my husband waited another 10 minutes for his. Besides that, food is excellent!

    Excellent dining experience for breakfast. Gourmet food and a juice bar (premade drinks such as a lavender and herb infused sugary drink called Purple Haze). Parking lot is a mess because it's tiny and it's a dead end. I came early for breakfast but when I tried to leave, there was a line of cars waiting for parking spots therefore nobody could pull out to leave so all the drivers trying to leave were stuck there for about 10 minutes becoming increasingly frustrated. Service left much to be desired, as there were long waits for water refills and for the to-go boxes we requested. This was early breakfast time on a Sunday. Upon leaving the restaurant there was a crowd waiting to be seated and people leaving angry due to a 30 to 45 minutes wait. Don't arrive late (late being 10am or later) for a small gourmet breakfast restaurant on a Sunday and be surprised when there's a wait. Come early and seating is not a problem. This restaurant is worth it, if you come early to avoid the crowd. I hope the poor service was a fluke but we will return. Excellent food!

    Best breakfast chain out there. Loved the salmon Benedict and brother had a meat omelette which he thoroughly enjoyed. Also if you have not tried the million dollar bacon once it is a must

    Nice ambiance. I ordered breakfast and ice coffee. The eggs were greasy and the ice coffee had milk and sugar when ordered. Servers were nice. Food served quickly even though it was crowded.

    Sooooo I love First Watch. They typically have delicious food. But for some reason, our most recent trip was a negative one. The food was not up to the normal quality. We were not impressed and will not go back to this establishment (I will return to another First Watch, but not this one). The food was lacking taste and it wasn’t quite as advertised. I will say that our server was amazing and helpful. And she did rectify the situation. And I appreciate her willingness to try and make sure we were satisfied.

    First Watch offers delicious and somewhat unique dishes that are vegan and diet-friendly. You must try their version of Million Dollar Bacon. It's absolutely delicious! Service is slow when they are busy. Call ahead on the weekends or there will be a long wait. They do offer community seating at first-come. You can sometimes meet interesting and friendly people this way.

    I am a vegetarian and I did not think I would be able to find something good here but they my surprise they had a wonderful veggie sandwich. I loved it. It has some flavor. I am not a fan of Kale juice but their Kale juice was so tasty. Its their best seller in non alcoholic drink section. I would definitely go back here.

    Disappointed in my meal. Ordered the watermelon wake-up drink. It was supposed to have mint. No mint. Toast was cold, butter not melted. All green fruit. Service was good. But expected food to be better prepared. Ended on a positive note. Drink was taken off my bill and I was given a 20% discount. Appreciated the fact that staff cared about my concerns.

    Normally this place is on point but they failed today! I ordered online and it told me 30 minutes. Ended up being 45 minutes (I had food waiting in the car I picked up for someone else and it got cold from sitting inside waiting so long!). Then I got this. Not even a full cup. The order was simple. Eggs, chia pudding and muffin. That’s it. Shouldn’t take 45 minutes with a half full restaurant and then not give me a full cup as I paid for.

    This is my go-to brunch place. Love their menu and the fact that they have something new every season to look forward to!

  • 5/5 Joe V. 11 months ago on Google
    First impression is always, is the coffee hot and yes it was. Pancakes 🥞 very good and very large. My wife had the works couldn't finish it and brought it home shared it with her Cancer friend she loved it. Can't wait to go back. Probably keep me from going back to Skidders with the terrible new ownership.

    Cosy place with fresh and healthy food. Taste is awesome. Drink is a bit pricey but worth the money.

    Food was good and fresh but just a bit on the cold side, kitchen was very busy though, but overall taste was great!! Server was very nice, checked in on us made sure we were okay due to the kitchen being a little backed up. I'll be back hopefully to get warm food next time.

    Love First Watch! Food was delicious as always..Service was decent. Table was a little wet when Sat and host didn't seem to notice. Server offered coffee upon greet. Wifey got the peach French toast and the million dollar bacon--yum. I got the healthy turkey omelet with toast.

  • 5/5 Sean N. 10 months ago on Google
    Wonderful experience! The food and drinks were as flavorful as they were vibrant. The place was packed, but we were tended to on a regular basis. Overall one of my favorite places to eat in the St. Petersburg area.

    This is the first time I had a bad experience at the first watch. Ordered avocado toast, avocado was so hard couldn't be smashed. The server didn't say anything. Hostess looked like she didn't want to be there
