    This review is more like 3.5 stars. First watch advertises fresh and healthy food but fresh and healthy should not be the opposite of tasty. We ordered the morning meditation (healthy but okay, could not finish it) and red medicine (my kid liked it). For breakfast, we had the Tri-Athlete (which was fairly bland despite the green chillies) and the Skillet hash Market (the hash was pretty good, but still on the bland side). The best of the lot was the lemon ricotta pancakes - they were good without the syrup. Wish they had more fruit though. The place is fairly pricy but what isn't in the beach area here? Good place, but can be so much better.

    Breakfast and lunch are always delicious here. Their menu has a lot of staples plus new dishes based on seasonality and ingredients. Everything has a healthier spin and there’s plenty to enjoy. Food is ready quickly and service is always good!

    Stopped in on the way home from a two night stay on the beach. The bottomless coffee and tea were a great start. My wife had the farmer’s skillet. Ingredients were fresh and veggies vibrant in color. My French toast was nice thick bread with butter and a side of berry compote. To top it off, the bottle of syrup was warm! Great touch, I’ve never had that experience. Kept my breakfast warm. Midway through, my wife and I switched plates. Both very flavorful and tasted great.

    This was my first time trying the Belgian waffles and it was so delicious. We had a great waitress and I’ll definitely be back soon again.

    I love to go to the first watch. Every time I am visiting Boca Raton for my morning breakfast I always go there. The food and the atmosphere always amazed me.

    I honestly don’t understand the hype for this place. The food here is average at best, with quick turnover service. My potatoes were salty, and the whole experience was mediocre at best. If you want a good breakfast spot/brunch spot, check out my other reviews. This placing ain't it.

    Found this place when I was craving for a good omelet in the morning and God did I get what I was asking for. Great choice of morning dishes including spice omelet. Very spacious place , great service and atmosphere.

    To be honest I wasn't at First Watch I went to Smoothie King which their service is great and I like their smoothies but I have been to First Watch at times and they are very efficient seem to have good food the staff has been very nice what I've been there

  • 5/5 Philip D. 3 years ago on Google
    Freshly made food and good service. The fresh brewed iced tea is very good. And they're multigrain pancake with pecans and wheat germ is the best ever.

  • 5/5 Brett C. 3 years ago on Google
    Fun way to spend a couple hours

  • 5/5 Jerry D. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent.

  • 1/5 Doug T. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was okay. The service was good. Both of our coffee cups were disgustingly dirty and my silverware still had syrup on it and stuck to the napkin the tables were not cleaned.

  • 5/5 Kim W. 3 years ago on Google
    Love my million dollar bacon

  • 5/5 Saul5ohh 3 years ago on Google
    My friends kept telling me how good this place was so I decided to give it a go. All I have to say is that I’m more than glad that I did. The food is great, Fast service, and clean environment. My server was Edgar and he was always attentive with me. I am now a regular. It’s a must at least once a week after my workout!!

  • 5/5 Gerard J. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is the best breakfast spot in Southern Florida period. Great prices and better service

  • 5/5 Leea G. 3 years ago on Google
    Ate here for my birthday breakfast to self! Food was delicious 🤤 and server was pleasantly nice! Server recommended juice and it was refreshingly delicious! I loved the ricotta cheese pancakes 🥞! 1st time eating at First Watch! Won’t be my last!

  • 5/5 Lance J. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent breakfast food and great service. Had the Elevated Egg Sandwich, Chile Chorizo omelet, cheese grits. Both were delicious. The grain bread and jam are very fresh. Potatoes were a bit bland so added salt and pepper. Fresh juice was very satisfying. Highly recommend.

    Great food! Great service! Went 2 time on my 6 day vacation! Would have went more if the others wanted to. Everything is great you will not be disappointed and you can keep coming back and try new things because of their amazing menu!

  • 4/5 Lili o. 5 months ago on Google
    The food was very good and I always like the options at First Watch because they offer so many healthy choices for breakfast. This location is very cramped and so loud. It was difficult to have a conversation as we were sat by the kitchen and just again how cramped it felt. Our waiter was nice but he was so busy that we never saw him for refills at all and had to flag for anything. We also were here on a Saturday morning so perhaps it is less chaotic on the weekday.

  • 5/5 Hallie K. 5 months ago on Google
    I really enjoy this first watch location, and they were very accommodating to vegetarians. I asked for substitutions and they didn’t blink an eye. Very wonderful server and atmosphere. I got a veggie patty on a quinoa feta bowl, yum! My friends got biscuits and gravy and an omelette and they enjoyed their meals too!

  • 5/5 Nathan W. 8 months ago on Google
    Jean John is the best server I’ve had in Raleigh (lived her for a year now). Please give this man a raise he truly deserves it. Great spot, great guy.

  • 5/5 Debbie G. 1 year ago on Google
    It was DELICIOUS and my taste buds had a party!!! My companion ordered the frittata and I had a taste

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything we had was cooked to perfection and delicious. Super fresh! The interaction with the staff was just as impressive. The hostess (Abby) and our server (Allison) were super knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!

  • 2/5 Joaquim F. 11 months ago on Google
    I am one that enjoys good food and good services (we PAY for it)! My overall experience with First Watch has been good, but today, to my complete disappointment the potatoes served to me belonged in a garbage can. (No excuses for something like this happening)!

  • 5/5 Sari S. 1 year ago on Google
    Second time here and is perfect for when you need good energy to start your day. Everything is healthy and I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll like even if you don’t follow healthy eating in a daily basis. Chorizo omelette I thought it was the perfect mix between healthy and tasty, it was so good! But the highlight for me was the toasts, buttery with the multigrain where you feel the crunch of them 😋 the drink was kinda fancy and I left it untouched till the end, a customer on its way out pointed at it to ask what was it lol.

    Solid breakfast/lunch location but can be a little crowded during peak times with a bit of maneuvering to get a parking spot. First Watch is a chain so you'll find the same options across their many locations. This spot has a few tables outside if you want to enjoy the fresh air or have a pet. However it's located in an isolated strip of shops next to the busy intersection so don't expect much of a view. Food is decent and my wife is a big fan of the chopped chicken and avocado salad. I've been experimenting with a few of the breakfast options over our visits but can't say any have stood out. Their bacon is, at best, average. They have an appetizer called million dollar bacon but I've been leery of trying it out as I've tried bacon flights at specialty pork restaurants and they haven't done it for me. But this is a good standby for a decent meal. I think that salad may be the ticket. Generally recommended.

  • 5/5 Megan B. 3 years ago on Google
    This was my first time at this location. I was amazed by how great everything was. The host opened the door for us as we were coming in and we got seated fast. Our server, Rosa was so sweet and helped us with recommendations with the menu. I had the morning meditation and farmhouse hash. The food was great as well! Will definitely be coming back

  • 5/5 Giselle E. 3 years ago on Google
    I went on a Monday morning, so we were seated immediately and several booths away from the next closest customers. As usual, the service was prompt and very friendly. We ordered the French toast and a BLT eggs benedict. Food was delicious and came out quickly. I didn't catch my server's name but she was very attentive and sweet.

  • 3/5 Lillian O. 3 years ago on Google
    I usually visit on weekends. On my last visit, it was not very busy, restaurant was not full, we may have gotten a new or inexperienced waitress, service was not good, she took very long to get our food to the table and it arrived cold, and was not fresh and she had an attitude. Management took care of us after we complained, he even prepared our food himself, so we were able to finally enjoy fresh and hot breakfast.

  • 5/5 MariMar B. 3 years ago on Google
    Outstanding service. Delicious food. Great variety. Definitely coming back soon

  • 5/5 Herald W. 3 years ago on Google
    Arrived on a busy Sunday morning at this location. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our server was amazing. The breakfast tacos were delicious. This place has gotten better since the last time we were here. Keep up the good work management!!! I highly recommend First Watch @ Deerfield.

  • 5/5 Brittney W. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Boo C. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a great breakfast here. The bacon is phenomenal and the kale tonic is delicious even if you don't like kale. The staff was attentive. I've been to First Watch several times and have not been disappointed.

  • 5/5 Angel L. 3 years ago on Google
    This is our local breakfast spot. You can never go wrong here. Everything is fresh and delicious, and to top it off the staff is always on point.

    Great food

  • 5/5 Miso J. 3 years ago on Google
    This place has great food! My partner and I always order for pickup so we never had the in house experience. First time ordered they had these mini donuts with a chocolate dip, please bring that back! I ordered the salmon and veggie frittata and let me tell you, every time I order it I’m never disappointed. It’s flavorful and doesn’t fill you up to the point where you want to take a nap. I could eat that and be good for basically the whole day. My partner ordered the Chickichanga. With a name like that you know it going to be well seasoned and have a Mexican flaire. As for the waffles and eggs, it was pretty basic. There was nothing to really rave over. Downside the small fruit cup is smaller than small, at that point you can’t even call it a cup. The “cup” is a 1oz container (the same container you use for condiments). The chocolate drizzle cup was bigger!

  • 5/5 Joseph D. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is fresh. Plenty of flavors. Nice portions. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are the bomb.

  • 5/5 Cailen G. 3 years ago on Google
    First Watch is an AMAZING establishment. I've been going to First Watch religiously once a week for the past few years. I'm never disappointed. The atmosphere is great, the team that works there are always so kind and welcoming and they're hilarious! My favorite menu item is definitely the million dollar bacon - can't go wrong there. First Watch for the win!!!

  • 5/5 Sheila C. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved it. Discovered on our vacation and looked for them all over Florida. Yummy

  • 1/5 Felix M. 3 years ago on Google
    My one star review is not about the food is about how fast the waiters are in giving the bill to pay. When waiters place the bill on the table it tells me hey hurry up and leave this is the message it sends to the customer. The last time I was here the same thing. I do not know if the company tells them to have this practice or if the waiter just does it on their own. Once again this one star has nothing to do with the food but is has to do with the fact of bringing the bill while I am still eating it is just rude.

  • 5/5 Ron D. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service and good healthy food.

  • 4/5 Vonawsomo 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. I had eggs Benedict and was not disappointed. The quality is far beyond like Denny's but be ready because you will pay more for that quality. I'd plan at least 15 a person without drinks for breakfast. There is a lot of variety but it is mostly US style food. They use fresh ingredients and there are many healthy options that pack a ton of flavor. Downside is the service is pretty slow even when they're not busy.

  • 5/5 David F. 3 years ago on Google
    This place provides superb service as well as delightful meals. One of my favourite spots around here. The food and drinks served rapidly and the prices were fair. Will definitely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Wilfredo H. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sandra G. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 lisa E M. 3 years ago on Google
    My first time here ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. Even though place was pretty packed was greeted and seated IMMEDIATELY! Which was perfect because I was famished borderline HANGRY.. The place was GOOD INCREDIBLY CLEAN. My waitress HANNA (ask for her she was friendly and efficient- ) my drink RED MEDICINE and food AVOCADO TOAST with potatoes came super FAST and was perfect (I mean I was beginning to think magical elfs were in the kitchen.) As far as the prices a tad on the higher end BUT ITS WORTH IT! Why I have to give MY QUEEN SEAL OF APPROVAL 7 crowns. VISIT HERE FOR A REFRESHING healthy eating experience.
