    Chicken Avocado Chop salad
    Nia D.

    First time eating at this location, but have eaten/ordered from a First Watch restaurant before. This is not a stand alone spot - falls in line with the strip of stores in the shopping center. Luckily the person I was meeting with hot there a few minutes before me, so got a seated immediately. Kept it simple with a hot tea for my drink since it was so cold outside and kept it on the healthier side for my eats with the Chicken Avocado Chop salad. The salad was actually very filling and tasty. Plus the little baguette/roll they gave with it helped the filling taste. Service was good and appreciated the manager coming out to talk to us, see how our dining experience was, etc. when we were closing out/paying at the register upfront... I would come back for breakfast or lunch again.

    I want to leave a five star review for First Watch in the Huntingdon valley Shopping Center. My server Leah had a beautiful smile that lit up the room. She was extremely friendly, attentive, and anticipated my every need. In addition, the food was delicious and fresh. The host was kind and welcoming. I encourage everyone to bring your family and friends here for brunch. I look forward to coming back soon.

    Bacado Omelette
    Michael T.

    Came here for a Sunday afternoon brunch and it went well. Even in the heyday of Sunday brunch, our party of three didn't wait too long to get seated. It was a nice and intimate looking dining area. We went with the Bacado Omelette, Turkey Biscuit gravy with eggs, and eggs Benedict with salmon. Everything came out perfectly and quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I love the little touch on my Bacado omelette with the sour cream being whipped as it'll it were whipped cream. I thought it was a very nice touch. Aside from a small snafu with receiving the wrong check at the end of the meal, I'd say there was absolutely nothing to complain about. I would highly recommend getting brunch here

    Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast

    We were seated right away and our server, Logan, came over right away for our drink order. We order the Maple Bacon croissant sandwich which came with potatoes and the pumpkin pancake breakfast. The food came out quickly. We both came home with leftovers. Food was delicious.

    My friends have been raving about first watch for a long time now. So I finally went to the Abington location for Sunday breakfast. They do not take reservations but you are able to add your name to the waitlist in advance. I waited about 15 mins to be seated upon arrival so it was not too bad. I got the farmhouse hash with vegan sausage instead of bacon. It has eggs of your choice on top of potatoes, roasted onions and tomatoes and avocado. I guess my expectations were very high after my friends spoke so highly about it but it was average. It tasted okay and it got the job done. The service was good and friendly. It is very family friendly and homey. The menu has a variety of options from pancakes to egg dishes to lunch sandwiches, something for everyone. I would go back for a quick bite.

    Eggs, bacon, waffle
    Jackie P.

    I would've given 3 stars if the service was a little better. We were sat right away but out waiter didn't come over for nearly 10 minutes. People walked passed us, and another table was sat without us getting any service. The other table got drinks and we were just sitting. The hostess walked passed to seat yet another table and asked if our waiter had come to our table yet which no one had. He apologized and about 2 minutes later someone walked over. I will say we placed our order and our food came out in literally like 5 minutes. I got the Trifect which was 2 eggs, bacon and waffle. My husband ordered off of the fall menu and got the Million Dollar sandwich and the million dollar potatoes. Nothing really stood out to me with my food. My waffle was kind of soggy. My husband said his sandwich was okay, said the honey kind of threw the taste off a bit but still good. The potatoes were good. This is my second time here and it isn't my favorite but my husband enjoys it. It is also the second time we've had subpar service. I don't think I will return.

    It was located within big mall complex So during peak time, parking could be little tight even though parking space is big Inside of restaurant was spacious and beautifully decorated Party of two dined in on wed for brunch at 11am We waited for 40 mins for food but our server was very nice and pleasant I ordered ice coffee, thanks to other reviewer, It was more like coffee milk lol Server gave me one refill at free of charge And food we ordered was pretty good! We ordered salmon and vege fritt , chickinchanga , lemon rigotta pancake and milion dollar bacon, i may not spell them right But those are all decent!! Check out is done at the front desk I was not told so we waited for awhile for server to pick up, so dont wait,,, Overall staff are so kind and nice

    Healthy turkey ... with no turkey....
    Rebecca K.

    Came to First Watch for brunch on a weekday. I ordered the Healthy turkey omelet... and it came looking totally gross. I couldn't believe that they thought it was okay to serve. After looking at the omelet, I noticed that my "healthy turkey" omelet had no turkey at all . I asked my server if this was how it was supposed to look, and pointed out that there was no turkey...he apologized, and they begrudgingly made me a new one, with turkey this time. There are a lot of great breakfast and lunch spots, and this was the first bad experience I've had at first watch - but it had been a while since I'd been here. I'd give them another try but I won't be in a rush to do so.

    Take out order.. ketchup and plastic cup inside container.. should be placed inside bag or wrapped up / placed in another bag.
    Dianna S.

    The food here is good but I don't Like how they practice unsanitary habits like putting objects such as (ketchup packages and plastic cups of sauce) inside your food container!!! This is not the best procedure when these items could be harboring bacteria and germs and should not be placed where it is touching your food... I really hope they can incorporate different sanitary habits and it would definitely be 5 stars!

    I came in very early the next day to drop something off, but it's a beautiful facility

    I have lived in this neighborhood for 34 years and we were all sad to lose our little corner diner that survived for so long but as it turns out a breakfast lunch and brunch establishment named FIRST WATCH has opened up and has absolutely provided an experience I have yet to have an almost 10 years. My father just had a lower leg amputation due to diabetes along with having open-heart surgery and a pacemaker planted and accompanied by my mother and my two year old nephew with myself. David, our server was not only very understanding and very accommodating for our situation but the energy of the establishment had a flow that naturally drew WIN whether people were talking or not because it is just relaxed. It is absolutely outstanding service and food, and management are the type of people that you wish you could work for because they make the work life and all of its possibilities one would hope for seem normal. I never write reviews, but I must give the praise where the praises do staff is phenomenal and kind his breakfast brunch and lunch, and come meet some of the really amazing kind people who genuinely care about you and serving you! Space is beautiful and very clean and a very relaxing ambience.

    Farmhouse hash with goat cheese
    Dorian J.

    We went on Mother's Day so it was busy, but we joined the waitlist online, arrived between an hour and an hour and a half later and then only waited about 5 minutes for a table. The restaurant was very cute inside and the restroom was clean. I really enjoyed my food and the people I was with did too. I've heard there is one in Fort Worth where I'm from so I'll have to try that location.

    They have a large breakfast/lunch menu. The French toast was delicious, as was the coffee.

    To the Point - Fresh, flavorful southern style cooking that taste home cooked while upholding great…read moreservice. They say welcome home when you enter the building, and they were spot on. The space isn't huge but it's very cute ambience with a chandelier of plants cascading the ceiling with simple decor. We both ordered chicken and waffles, the chicken is perfectly fried. Crunchy but not too much or less batter that holds a juicy thigh. The seasoning felt simple but the flavors were anything but. The waffle was big and dense with the outer layer having a subtle crisp that reveals a soft interior. Again, very subtle seasonings, they are not overloading the food with masses of flavoring, these people know how to work around their ingredients and let them shine. The chicken and waffles get a phenomenal 9/10 We also purchased an order of Fish and Grits to share with the lobster sauce on the side as I have a slight shellfish allergy and the waitress insisted on putting it in the side even though I told her it was ok (I appreciate the consideration). I rarely order this type of meal but man do I not regret it at all. I'm not even sure what kind of fish I consumed but it was so perfectly fried with the gentlest breading that complemented the perfectly cooked fish. Again the seasonings are subtle, it's not really the boldest of flavors, it just tasted good. The grits were savory while not being overwhelming when combining the fish which ended up being very satisfying bite. The Fish And Grits gets an amazing 9.5/10 I will be coming back, I'd like to try more of what they offer. These people are masters of frying things to perfection while retaining the core flavors of the protein. The staff was friendly and you can feel the soul they breathe into the place. I highly recommend giving them a chance.

    Great southern-ish breakfast, served by very down to earth pleasant staff…read more I got the Salmon, grits and 2x eggs. Really excellent food, cooked perfectly. I would appreciate a little bit more brightness/acidity, like maybe some lemon wedges or capers, but that's a really minor note and I'm sure not everyone would agree.

    Great atmosphere, very on theme with an upscale vibe. All of the drinks and food were delicious,…read morelots of really creative items with bold flavors and interesting combos!! We went for the happy hour app and drink specials for our birthdays, but because it took our server 15 minutes to come back and check on us, they wouldn't let us get the specials. (Felt intentional, like they were stalling) Our server was nice, but not attentive at all. I would have given it 4 or 5 stars if it wasnt so pricey and the service was better. We will definitely give it a weekend try, just in case it was an off night. Tip: I was not a fan of sitting in the half booth tables right by the hostess stand. It was extra dark and it felt more like where you sit while waiting for your actual table. Ask to be seated further in the dining room...it is really cool inside! Big parties can even get seated IN a birdcage!
