Hard working customers picking first watch to spend money should be highly considered by staff with a reasonable customer-expectation of initiative. Our experience wasn’t horrible, but enough to notice improvements.
Million dollar bacon was very good.
Million dollar potatoes have a top layer of bacon and parmeason sauce with a deep dish of potatoes untouched by the toppings – they were excellent once we asked more for parmesean space and mixed the potatoes.
Blueberry cornbread was fresh and pleasant and could use more fruit in the breading.
The chimmichurry steak and eggs hash bowl was fantastic (5 stars)
The Trifecta waffle was cold and eggs were minimal.
Coffee was also cold (not warm, but cold)
Waiting for syrup, parmesean sauce, and cold coffee are improvements to consider. Staff must inspect food prior to serving. Paying well over $53 should result in food arriving correct and considerate to the price. Whether opening the business as owners or accepting employment, I cannot believe this was their best. Customers arrive on occassion and employees facilitate to the extent they care. This is not meant to be harsh at all, but direct and based in fact. We will likely come again in the future.

First time here. Great looking place. Clean and spacious. Only 1 minor thing. It took about 5-6 minutes for us to be seated. Waiters passed by us numerous times, but did not acknowledge us. I finally asked a server if we could sit and he said that someone would be with us soon. The food was great. So many choices and all looked delicious. Our waitress was great!

My husband and I ate here for the first time this morning and it did not disappoint! We had to wait a few minutes on a table. Our waitress was Greta & she was fabulous! I ordered the Chickichanga and it was AMAZING. We will definitely be back!

My mother and I visited First Watch for the first time and we had a terrific meal and experience! Paige was was our server and she had the most welcoming and bubbly spirit. She was very attentive and made great recommendations! The atmosphere was clean, a little cold though, and rustic yet modern.
I ordered the Purple Haze summer mocktail and it was sweet, refreshing and delicious! A great mixture of citrus and sweetness.
For my meal, I ordered the Tri-Fecta with the carrot cake pancake (which was huge, larger than my hand), scrambled egg whites, bacon and a side order of buttered grits. The food was flavorful, not overly sweet or salty, filling and yummy! The portion size was large enough for both of us to take home boxes for the the next day’s breakfast.
My mother ordered the Tri-Fecta with a Belgian waffle, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon and a side order of grits. She said that the food was very enjoyable!
Overall, we were extremely pleased with our experience and plan to return with the rest of our family in the future!
P.S. When asked, we’d made recommendations to the table next to us and they were pleased with their orders when their food arrived!

Visited for a pre-birthday brunch with my son on a Saturday. Our sever Dylan was attentive but not pushy, the food was excellent (lemon ricotta pancakes and double bacon parm hash) and my pomegranate sunrise was refreshing. The restaurant itself was clean, the music wasn’t intrusive, and the noise level was great-not too loud, allowing for conversation. We will be back SOON.

Heard a few things about this place. So finally decided to give it a try. It was a full house. But no long wait at all. We were seated as soon as possible..I was actually shocked on how good the food was. It was very good. I am not a fan of potatoes. And I must say here. The potatoes were amazing.. pretty much everything we had was good. So this is a definite reccomendation for breakfast in my book..

I would not recommend this establishment for breakfast/brunch.
I have eaten here on three different occasions that I can remember, each time it’s been a disappointment. The last instance is the reason for my review… Ordered the Chicken Avocado Chop Salad online (delivery), it was delivered without the avocado. I tried calling the restaurant and the phone rang until it hung up. Drove to the restaurant, and because there’s no dedicated hostess had to wait about 5 minutes before I could speak with someone. It’s a weird feeling seeing the waiting staff notice you’re waiting to be seen, but avoid you. That said, when someone finally spoke to me, I told them my salad was missing avocado. They returned with a very small dressing container of avocado. Just very disappointed in the experience. To add, the salad wasn’t very flavorful.

Excellent food with a wide ranging menu for any foodie or persons with dietary restrictions. Love the fresh Lemon-dressed greens as an optional side. We had Baconado omelet with greens, Floridian French toast and a freshly juiced Morning Meditation. Awesome way to start the day!

Wait was quite long, but online sign in reduced it. Once seated it took a while for server to get to table. We placed drink order only to find out they were out of orange juice and lemonade. Had to request silverware and napkins, but server got us some quickly when notified. As for the food, my omelette was soggy on bottom, and cold. It was an egg with toppings thrown in. Horrible. French toast was also cold. So much that butter would not melt. Being that food took so long to come I dared not try to replace anything. Needless to say this is the last time I make the trek cross town to come here and leave disappointed, ready to go get a fish filet meal from McDonald’s!

8 here twice in the last week. Had eggs benedict and they were great after the waitress brought two poached eggs that were not completely cooked like a boiled egg. Second time I had this steak and vegetable with feta cheese dish and it was really really good. The atmosphere is very nice here the staff are very friendly and it’s in a convenient location if you want to do some other shopping after eating. So overcooked poached eggs or not I recommend this I recommend this restaurant and it’s a hell of a lot better than Denny’s
