First Watch in Charlotte was an absolutely amazing experience. Trying new restaurants in Charlotte can be a hit or a miss, considering Charlotte(and the culture here including the restaurants here) is still trying to find its identity, but First Watch didn’t disappoint.

We visited for lunch on a Thursday, and it wasn’t busy. We were promptly seated, and our server was kind and polite.

For food, we got:

Veggie Burger: We got the burger with potatoes. The burger was an explosion of wonderful flavors, and the potatoes were well-done too. 10/10 burger

Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash: This seasonal item easily the star of our meal, with the chipotle glazed chicken mixed with potato hash, peppers and cheese creating quite a piquant flavor. I absolutely loved it.

There were other seasonal items on their menu too which looked scrumptious.

Their menu runs the gamut from your usual breakfast specials like omelettes and pancakes to sandwiches, frittatas and more. They have a section especially dedicated to the healthier options which was nice to see as well.

The seating area inside is fairly big, and there’s sufficient parking available outside.

Overall, it was a 10/10 experience and we can’t wait to be back.

A Grateful Birthday Brunch and an Amazing Server

This was our first time visiting today, and it turned out to be a birthday celebration for my beautiful wife. She picked the place, and we’re so glad she did. She ordered the Maple Croissant Breakfast Sandwich with a side of fruit and one slice of French toast, while I went with the Omelet: The Works, plus breakfast potatoes and a side of grits (though I wouldn’t recommend the grits, everything else more than made up for it).

What truly made the experience exceptional was our server, Sydney. If you go, ask to be seated in her section—she was AWESOME. Sydney was incredibly attentive, incredibly knowledgeable, and offered fantastic recommendations that enhanced our meal. Her customer service was outstanding, and her positive energy made the birthday breakfast feel even more special.

Sydney, keep up the AMAZING work!

Why we loved it
Thoughtful recommendations and attentive service
Delicious dishes, especially the Maple Croissant Breakfast Sandwich and the Omelet: The Works
A warm, celebratory atmosphere that made a birthday feel extra special

Suggestions for the restaurant
Consider updating the grits option or offering a tested alternative for a reliable breakfast accompaniment.
Continue recognizing standout servers like Sydney—they significantly elevate the guest experience.

If you’re looking for friendly service, reliable recommendations, and a celebratory brunch vibe, this spot and Sydney are worth the visit. Thank you for a memorable birthday experience!
