Great breakfast place. We went as a group of three people with a baby and we had enough room for the stroller. Everything we ordered was really good and tasty and the service was very quick and attentive.
There wasn’t any waiting time when we got there and we were sat immediately.

This is a favorite of mine. I frequent this particular First Watch often. Our favorite server is Lisa. She’s been there a while and is amazing! We went early on Sunday and thought we would beat the after church crowd, but I guess a lot of people had the same idea. It was packed, and we still didn’t wait long for our drinks or our food.
I had the Honey Chipotle Chicken Has and it was delicious. The chicken was tender and juicy, bacon crispy and the pickled onions were crunchy and sweet. I will be ordering that again. For my drink, I had the Blazing Dragon which a little sour for my taste but okay. Not sure if I’ll get that again. Usually I get the coffee, but decided to try the drink since it looked cute!
Overall, I do recommend this First Watch and I’ll be back soon!

Nice brunch spot! The service was friendly and speedy. Ordered a drip coffee and they give you a whole pot which is great, no waiting for refills and the carafe stayed warm the whole meal. The grits were good, as well as the toast and jam. The omelet was tasty, only complaint was that the filling was a bit segmented and not evenly distributed.

The waiting time was like 90 minutes until we got our food and the traditional breakfast was ordered without bacon but there was bacon unfortunately and the seasoned potato is very bad and not cooked well and the Chicky Changa was missing the the avocado the pancakes are so bad I couldn’t even finish have of it. I tried other places and they were good but this place is bad. But our check was taken care off because of the bacon.

The space is airy and clean but the food service is very slow. When I got there, there were only 2-3 tables. The dishes I ordered were very simple but I had to wait more than 20 minutes.

Visited First Watch today with my fiancée after a medical appointment, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing.
Our server took quite a while to greet us and take our order. During the wait, my fiancée — who had just had a tooth extraction and was in significant pain — had to go sit in the car. When the server finally came to check on us, I explained the situation and asked for boxes so I could bring the food out to her. She said she would bring them, but never returned, and I ultimately had to ask another staff member for help.
After boxing the food myself, I stood by the table for about 10 minutes waiting to pay before the server finally brought the check. The total was $73, and for that price point, the level of service was extremely disappointing.
I understand restaurants get busy, but communication and basic follow-through go a long way — especially when guests are dealing with a medical situation. I hope management takes this as constructive feedback and works on improving attentiveness and customer care.

Great experience, my best friend, my son and I went here for brunch to celebrate my best friend’s birthday and the good was amazing, our waiter was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, great with recommendations professional. We tried their seasonal menu of lavender berry French toast, veggie omelet with seasoned potatoes and million dollar bacon, with mimosas, everything was seasoned very well and the portion were great as well. Will definitely be back soon!!!

Food and service were great! Gave 4 stars because of the really, really dirty kitchen area—and we had to look at it the whole time. Dust on the monitors over the food prep stations was literally CAKED on. Gross!

I visited this location to grab to-go breakfast (via online order). The order was ready impressively quickly (10 minutes). I ordered two cold brews, Bacado Omelet, Avocado toast with million dollar potatoes on the side (up charge). The food was very unappetizing. Portions were considerably smaller than before. Cold brews were predominantly ice. Bacado Omelet was flat, had strange sour cream smear, was tiny, and not good. All toast was badly burned (avocado toast and side toast). The avocado topping on the toast was very sour/lemony and unpleasant to eat. Food wasn’t even warm. I didn’t enjoy any of it. I will say that if you’re dining in, the restaurant went through a recent renovation becoming more modern (cottage core or farm style) and spacious.
