I dont know about others, but my experience here was phenomenal.
The coffee is really good. No burnt or cheap taste. Some of the best I’ve gotten from a restaurant in awhile.
My BLTE was DELICIOUS. Perfectly cooked eggs and bacon, the right amount of greens and mayo to balance the flavors. Kudos to whoever designed this sandwich, honestly.
The cheesy grits were some of the absolute best grits I’ve had since leaving the south. I will definitely be coming back for these alone.
The inside beautiful and the large windows give a wonderful view of the surrounding areas. The staff is constantly moving around and cleaning so as far as I could see they kept it spotless.
The staff is another major Bonus. I had just had an awful morning at the VA and Tori showed me through the menu and made suggestions. Even got my side out early because I had been fasting for blood work and was hungry.
She listened to me, and made great suggestions, bringing the experience up another notch.
Would DEFINITELY suggest this place for a Breakfast date or anniversary breakfast.

I had the bacon parmesan hash, it was absolutely stellar. I requested my eggs sunny side up, they were cooked perfectly. The creamy parmesan sauce/gravy was very flavorful, just the right amount of parmesan flavor without overpowering the dish. Potatoes tasted fresh and were cooked to perfection as well. Our server, Lisa, was great, and made sure everything tasted well and that we had everything we needed. Overall 5/5, will definitely be back

Isaiah was amazing. My first time here. He shared info about different menu items. Let me ask questions. Smiled, polite, checked on me but not to the extent of bugging me. lol. This place is Beautiful. Atmosphere is awesome. I usually dine alone. The million dollar bacon was amazing. I will be back. KGL

I would like to say it was delightful. The atmosphere was stunning although the service was at a 2 1/2 rating for myself. I’ve been to multiple first watches and have never been judged but this time I believe I was judged by my first waitress, me and my daughter had to wait at let’s 20 minutes before we where ask if we was ready to order, I will say the second waitress did redeemed the station quickly

Sat at the bar on a Sunday right about noon, didn’t have to wait. Bar was busy but she did a good job and I didn’t have to wait long, food came quickly and was excellent. I got the chikichangas. Was a little spicy, but not horrible. Coffee was good.

**First Watch Brunch Experience**
My family came to town for a visit, so we decided to try the new **First Watch** for brunch. We joined the waitlist, which initially estimated **20 minutes**, but upon arrival, we were told it would be another **25 minutes**. Since we had time, we walked over to the nearby **farmers market** and returned after about **30 minutes** before finally being seated.
Given that it was **Memorial Day weekend**, the restaurant was understandably busy. We placed our orders—I went for the **Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict**, while my sister chose the **BLT Eggs Benedict**—and enjoyed some great conversation while waiting. Unfortunately, our food took **another hour** to arrive.
When it did, my eggs were **very runny**, while my sister’s were **overcooked to hard-boiled**. The chefs might need to refine their **poaching technique** for consistency. That said, I was so hungry by **2 PM** that I ate it anyway and still enjoyed the flavors.
The **juice bar** was fantastic, and I loved the **neat, modern atmosphere**, including the **outdoor seating**. Once the staff settles into their groove, I think this location has the potential to be **awesome**. Would I return? Maybe—but likely on a **less busy weekday** to avoid the crowds.

The food was amazing and the service was even better. Unknowingly we arrived 5 minutes before close and didn’t know until we left because they were so attentive and kind. Definitely going back! Yum!

First Watch on SW Wanamaker consistently delivers. I stopped in for a late Sunday lunch and had a Belgian waffle with a side of three eggs and a fresh squeezed orange juice. Everything came out hot, well seasoned, and exactly as ordered. Service was the standout. My server, Mamie, recognized me and remembered my drink without prompting, which speaks to attentive training and genuine hospitality. The dining room was clean, the pacing was efficient with no waiting, and checkout was seamless with Apple Pay. Prices are fair for the quality and portion size, and the menu has enough variety to keep return visits interesting while still nailing the classics. This location runs like a well organized team that values repeat customers. Five stars, and a special thank you to Mamie for the professional, thoughtful service.
