11/7 on my way to RUH
Had a nice experience at the First Watch in Sterling. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well-portioned — you can tell they use quality ingredients.
Service was friendly, though a bit slow since it was busy during brunch hours. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed weekend meal. Overall, a solid spot for breakfast or brunch — definitely worth coming back to

We were really looking forward to brunch here because the food is consistently great and it did not disappoint. The servers were very kind, attentive, and professional.
Unfortunately, the experience started off on a very negative note. The young lady at the host stand was extremely rude and unwelcoming. She seemed annoyed and uninterested in helping guests, which immediately made us feel uncomfortable when we walked in. First impressions matter, especially in the service industry, and this one set the wrong tone for the entire visit.
It’s disappointing because the rest of the staff and the food were wonderful. I hope management addresses this, as the front-of-house experience should match the quality of the kitchen and servers.

I am very happy with my visit this location. Everything was delicious, clean, neat and presentation of the food top tier. Kale Tonic and Morning Meditation were very fresh.
Camila delivered an exceptional service, prompt and diligent service. Thank you

We ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with a side of Million $ Potatoes and Farmhouse Hash with a side of Million $ Bacon. Drinks included coffee, Morning Meditation, and Mint Mocha Iced Coffee. Service was excellent. The food was amazing, plentiful (leftovers for another day), and reasonably priced. (We liked not having to pay the Leesburg food tax when dining at the Leesburg First Watch.)
A definite winner and new dining venue!
Update: After multiple visits the food and service remains 5 Stars!

I came in with my family for a meal and unfortunately, we were disappointed. We enjoy onion, but nearly every dish we ordered had an exaggerated amount of it, which overwhelmed the flavors and ruined our meals. The service was okay, but there’s definitely room for improvement in attentiveness and friendliness. Overall, not the best experience and I hope the restaurant can make adjustments.

Our was our very first breakfast at First Watch (Sterling)….it totally exceeded our expectations…the Eggs Benedict was perfect, and so were was the avocado toast and sides. Our server was on the ball, and everyone seemed cheerful and to love their job. It’s comfortable, clean and upscale…we will definately be going back.

This is the cutest place ever. I had never been to a First Watch, I had read some bad reviews for the Leesburg location and since then decided to not go. Started hearing chatter of this new one and I love it. Went to brunch and got the chorizo tacos, they were full of flavor and the avocado and pico was very fresh. We also had a side of French toast and it was delicious. Thank you Bella, for being so attentive with us and checking in. Also, thank you to the hostess, he is the sweetest, made me feel welcomed, and was so kind with my new born. Definitely coming back ❤️

We had a wonderful experience overall! Our server, Andre, was fantastic — very attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Although the frittata came out a bit burned, the manager handled the situation exceptionally well and made sure we were taken care of. Anna at the hostess stand was also wonderful — welcoming and professional from the moment we arrived. Great service all around, and we appreciate the team’s efforts to make our visit enjoyable!

This was my second time at First Watch, and unfortunately we had the same server, Brittany, again. Just like the first time, the service was very disappointing. After our food arrived, she never came back to check on us. We were never brought the water we asked for, and she dropped the check on the table while we were still eating.
The food here is good, but the service we received from Brittany was the worst. It really took away from the experience and made us feel rushed and ignored. I hope the restaurant works on improving the service because the food it’s really good.
