We had the best late breakfast today. Everything was delicious and our waitress made the experience. She was a young woman named Samantha. She was so bubbly and so kind! She also was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. We had never been to a first watch and she explained all options and her favorites! Absolutely enjoy this restaurant and their servers! read more

Been there a few times in several locations. Food isn't bad but my grits are almost always undercooked and not cheesy . Cleanliness is ok. Could be better. read more

The staff and manager here are all SO SO nice! should out to Bella, Randy and Aaliyah who made us feel right at home. They all went above and beyond - would highly recc. Food was great as well and came out quickly and hot. Bonus- coffee station set out while waiting for a table. read more

This was my first time dining in and it was suggested to get the farmhouse menu item. I skipped the avocado and tomato so what i was served was perfect. My meal was really good to kick off the start of the new year. My sister/bff was with me and as picky of an eater that she is, she found something on the menu that actually satisfied her taste buds. We satisfied with our meal and will definitely be back. Oooo n the maple bacon was on point. read more

There is not one negative thing I have to say about this place. For being a new spot, I was super impressed. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, the host walked us to a table and gave us menus. We waited less than five minutes for our waiter to come over. I ordered a regular coffee and my boyfriend did too so our waiter brought over a pot of coffee for us to share. I usually only see that being done at IHOP. Really convenient. My boyfriend ordered the Inspired Italian omelette (it smelled amazing!) and also ordered a side of biscuits and gravy. He had one bite and fell in love. I ordered the Market Skillet Hash with sunny side up eggs. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. Buttered toast and fruit on the side were amazing as well. Food was really fresh. They give you the check at at the table and ask you to take it up front to pay. The gentleman at the register asked how everything went and we said our meals were great. The pens to sign the receipt were camouflaged into a plant at the counter. I thought that was pretty cool. We will definitely be back for another breakfast date! :-) read more

My egg sandwich was mid. It wasn't on the brioche as advertised. My eggs over medium looked like they just cracked the eggs on the plate and mixed them around a bit. Completely unsafe to eat and inedible. I can literally scramble the eggs they gave me and cook them again because it's so raw. The service was sub par and the ambiance is pretty nice. But the eggs ruin my breakfast. read more

I love entering this place the scene is amazing they have cute personalizations according to the season we're in. The food is pretty yummy. I wouldn't recommend going later or after a busy weekend because by the end of it they didn't have many options available.. They ran out of bacon and few other items we wanted. Overall good experience tho read more

Came here on Memorial Day and it was open and boy was it busy! We had a 20 minute wait so just hung around outside until our table was ready - I believe they texted my friend when it was. Our waiter was nice and gave us samples of the juices - morning meditation juice, kale tonic, and one other one which I can't remember. They were all surprisingly tasty and didn't have that overwhelming green/healthy taste. I ended ordering the morning meditation juice which had orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beet. According to their website, it's only 160 calories! For my entree, I ordered the chickichanga which were whipped eggs with spicy all-natural white-meat chicken, chorizo sausage, green chilies, Cheddar and Monterey Jack, onions and avocado rolled in a flour tortilla. Topped with Vera Cruz sauce and sour cream. Served with fresh fruit and fresh, seasoned potatoes. It took forever to get - I'm not sure if the kitchen was backed up but felt like it took almost an hour to get to the table. It was good but I wish I asked for more of the Vera Cruz sauce - I like my food drenched in sauces. I didn't think the potatoes were anything special but wish they offered more fruit. I like how you can pay up front so you don't have to wait for the waiter to get back to you. I would probably come back to try more items on the menu but wouldn't go out of my way to come here. read more

Delicious food but a bit overpriced. Get the million dollar bacon and the fresh orange juice.

I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast. We did have to wait a bit about 45 min. I ordered the maple bacon. Eggs , Belgium waffles. The food tasted well. And my food was temperature hot. There was socially distancing. Employees wearing masks. I highly suggest this for breakfast. read more

My family always goes to first watch when we vacation and we tried the one in Abington, PA near home and it was such a disappointment. Our waitress was not friendly at all, and she gave our table dirty mugs even after we asked for new clean mugs. Really all the plates and silverware were greasy and slimy. Not the mention the food portions were a bit ridiculous, i think I had about 10 potato cubes in my hash brown skillet. Super disappointed. We Will still visit First watch, but definitely not in Abington. read more

I have eaten at First Watch several times in the restaurant and have also gotten takeout. Their food is always so fresh and so tasty! My favorite thing by far on the menu is the chickichanga. Inside the tortilla is eggs, chicken, chorizo, green chiles, cheese, onions and avocado. It is topped with sour cream and Vera Cruz sauce. It is not what you expect to eat for breakfast but is full of flavor! It's not too spicy. I get the breakfast potatoes as a side and they are delicious as well. My husband loves the million dollar bacon and the avocado toast with eggs on top, as well as the elevated breakfast sandwich. I also love getting their fresh juices. I love this place so much that this is where I wanted to order takeout from on my birthday last November. We will be back very soon! read more

First Watch - This is the chickichanga. Sorry I didn't take off the lid for the picture! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Abington, Pennsylvania

First time. After standing in line, I asked to be seated at the counter since it was only me. A young man, with not even a smile, said "counter is first come first serve". I thanked him for the info and told him I'll remember that next time so I don't have to stand in line. After 15 minutes not a single server acknowledged me. I looked a couple young servers straight in the eye but to no avail. Place was busy yes but it appeared they had not assigned anyone to the counter. I simply walked out. This place is too big for its own good and staffed by a crew of young people who do not seem to understand the basics of customer service or at least have not been given the kind of training or guidance they sorely need. There won't be a next time. read more

First Watch was recommended to me by a close friend. I was surprised at where it is located, because I've been in Abingtons shopping center many times and never noticed it. Out with my elderly cousin and we decided to stop. When we entered I noticed they were very cognizant of her and gave her special attention. I thought that we very nice since she wasn't familiar with the menus terminology. She decided on the cheesey grits, pork sausage, scrambled eggs and a pancake and coffee. She loved everything. Actually saying it was one of the best pancakes she ever had. She doesn't eat much, so she had enough to take home for another meal. I decided on the "Trifecta". Which is one (big) pancake, 2 strips of bacon, and 2 eggs (w/cheese) over easy and coffee. I started to get 2 pancakes , glad I didn't since they were so big! Everything came out perfect, but we both agreed the coffee was very strong! I really appreciate the pot of coffee they give you instead of just a cup. Also, when I asked for a glass of water they came back with a small jar and 2 glasses so you can get what you want instead of what they give you. We enjoyed our time at " First Watch". They dropped off the check and you pay the hostess at the door as you leave. We stayed as long as we wanted and never felt rushed. I will definitely go back and would recommend! read more

We tried to call ahead of time to RSVP, however that fell short because after saying they will get back to us, they have got back to us. So we went in and waited ~30-40 mins. So expect a line. They do have a nice waiting area. The restaurant itself is spacious and beautiful. Service was ok. They were a little slow however they are knowledgeable about the menu. Servers were good about refilling water. Food was good and ingredients are fresh (no wilting veggies). We ordered egg benedicts, some salad, classic breakfast, and a breakfast potato hash dish (see pictures). read more

Their eating spaces are loud. Big Open rooms. Get a few tables going and everyone is raising their voices to keep up. The food is tasty, doing breakfast or brunch and lunch can be a delightful experience. Get your wallets ready, inflation and a newer venue you'll be paying for it. I suggest paying wait staff in CASH. The don't make minimum wages. So having milk money or gas money on the way is great. Yep, I've done the job and know the realties. Eat in or have it brought to you. Yummy read more

First time here. I didn't know they didn't take reservations which is isn't a dealbreaker for me. I did not expect to wait 2 hours to be seated. We got there around 10ish and was seated after 12, when we asked what was taking so long, they said the kitchen was backed up. Once we finally got seated our waitress was very nice and I don't think we waited too long to get our food. I'm not saying I wouldn't go back, I'm just not in a rush. read more

If I could put 0 start I would. We were told 45 min wait and ended up waiting an hour and a half for burnt bacon. Never again. read more

Its really hard to make healthy food look beautiful, tasteful, and appealing to the mass. This brunch place did that trifecta like its no big deal. Not to mention they gave excellent service, waiters that dont rush you and have a smile on their face makes all the difference in someone's dining experience. I was seated by the fireplace and felt like the happiest camper with my kale tonic, short rib benedict, and french toast after a long night of partying. My body literally felt renewed from my head to my toes after swallowing all that health down my gullet. Im so glad to find a brunch place that offers healthy options that make me feel good and look good (antioxidants ftw). Will definitely come back! read more

I went here for breakfast a couple of years ago and it was good and their dinner menu is pretty decent too

We waited almost two hours for food to come out. The waitress was slow and had too many tables. The other wait staff refused to assist her and getting something as simple as a straw was hard. The host and cashier were being rude as people asked why the wait was so long. It was barely packed. Nothing on the seasonal menu was available (so why even show customers). No orange juice, no kale tonic, no cranberry juice, ran out of grits. No million dollar bacon. The waitress was running around like a confused child. The manager on-call went to the back and refused to come back out. Not having bacon or the kale tonic as signature items is absolutely confusing. Why even open? My food was cold and the silverware I received was dirty. I've been too many first watch in various locations and this was by far the worst experience ever. read more

This review is for service I received (or didn't receive depending on your view). I wanted to order a healthy breakfast very early, at 7:45am and they're listed as open. After having surgery this place seemed to fit the bill for that both food and beverages. They offer drinks with kale and ginger, which are good for inflammation and a highly rated breakfast. I called numerous times and finally got a person on the line. I asked if they deliver to my hotel and she said, "yes we are in Abington" and she hangs up. Okay... I'll just order online. Surely she's not cooking the food so I have nothing to worry about. I fill my cart with food and drinks and checkout only to get a message saying they're not accepting deliveries online at this time. So I call back. And call. And call. I'm starting to feel like a psycho ex-girlfriend. I can't tell if I want the food or if I just want to accomplish the great task and satisfaction of having someone answer the phone again. The lack of customer service over the phone and complete non-existent online site are less than one star. Some people might be busy and if that's the case, they should be GRATEFUL and SERVICE PEOPLE ACCORDINGLY when so many places have folded during the pandemic. Don't bite the hand that tried to let you feed them. read more

First Watch - Hungry girl or psycho ex-girlfriend? ‍ Nah, just disappointed and tried giving benefit of the doubt. Benefit expired. They suck. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Abington, Pennsylvania

We were sat right away. The food and atmosphere were great. Great service. Only thing is that we lived in the area for 7 years but never knew it was here. The name doesn't shout restaurant. Love it overall. Like the healthy option read more

A friend of mine decided to try this spot for brunch, even though we saw the bad reviews. Needless to say, the reviews were fair warnings. This place unfortunately does not deliver. My friend ordered the Chickichanga and specifically asked for the vera cruz sauce to be on the side because she can't fathom the taste of it, and of course they ended up putting it on there anyway. My Egg Benedict was mid, nothing special really. They claim their pancakes are humongous... they're pretty average honestly. Also my friend had a situation and the host was of no help at all, literally she had zero emotion and it almost felt like we were a burden the entire time. Anyway, i'll probably never come back. read more

I am really disappointed in this restaurant. I wanted to love it because it is so much closer than my favorite breakfast place but I just feel like I cheated on my favorite spot with a cheap h**ker. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful laid out and modern furnishings. The food presentation is also gorgeous. My waiter (Ryan) was really awesome as well. BUT The majority of the food we ordered was just not good in any regard. I got the hot chocolate to drink but was very disappointed with the cool whip topping over real whipped cream. Cool whip has an odd after taste. When I am splurging on my calorie intake I want to have the real thing not a e synthetically created modified "healthy" version of the real deal. Next the eggs were undercooked. I asked for over easy, which I admit can be difficult to master, but the whites of the egg were still goopy on the inside. Also the menu says they are cage free eggs and I find that hard to believe unless they are getting them from very poorly sustained hens. In which case I would then question their ethics on sourcing ingredients. I'm just going to assume they are actually using mass produced farmed eggs. Additionally the eggs were devoid of any flavor whatsoever The million dollar bacon was the biggest disappointment for me. I rarely eat bacon but when I do it's a treat. In this case I have no idea how they managed to do it but it was raw and undercooked. One half of the bacon looked like it was over cooked and the other half looked like it was juuuuust about to be done but not quite there yet. When I took a bite it was absolutely raw bacon. On top of that it was cold. It seems like they pre-seasoned/premade the bacon and flash microwaved them before serving. We were the first table to enter the restaurant and when we left there were only 2 other tables seated when we left so they weren't busy or over run with customers. There's no excuse for cold food or raw/undercooked meat when you're pretty much empty/ read more

I like The location -plenty of parking . And the interior is nice and clean . The food was good too but not all of it ... - I ordered avocado toast with eggs and million dollar bacon as well as home fries and grilled cheese for my son . The fruit salad that came with grilled cheese was dreadful- rotten strawberries ( laying right on top ) and frozen grapes . One thing that really bothered me is the way they served the fresh juice ... it was full cup of ice ... like you would see a soda being served . Who serves expensive , fresh juice like that . I was lucky if I got 2 oz of actual juice of it . That was very disappointing. ( you can see picture attached) read more

First Watch - Seriously ... who serves it with so much ice ?? It was so watered down - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Abington, Pennsylvania

SO, I would have liked to give First Watch 5 stars, but our service was THAT bad I can't give more than 1 star. I had previously came here when they first opened and had a pleasant experience so I expected to have a similar experience. Before arriving I added myself to the waitlist through Yelp. I was super happy with this service as we arrived and only had to wait about 5-7 mins for a table to be ready and we were seated. We had a party of 3 adults and 2 children(in high chairs). The front desk staff was super friendly and inviting! Up until this point things were going great! Then, we got to our table and a employee dropped off some coffee for our table. Next, our waitress "Kiki" arrived unpleasantly and asked if we were ready to order our food... there was no greeting- no good morning- how are you-- NOTHING. We advised her we were not ready and she began walking away. I had to ask her to take our drink order.... seems a little crazy to me that a waitress would come up to a table and not ask if they could get them anything to drink!? Especially when there are two young children at the table... So as our dining experience continued so did the horrible service. She did not check on us in between taking our food order and drink order to see if we needed refills or anything else. Our food arrives.. or should I say 80% of the food arrived and we did not have enough silverware. Trying to track her down to ask for another set was ROUGH! Once we got the silverware she ignored the fact that one entire order of food was MIA and everyone else was well Into their meal. Again, there was no checking to see if we needed anything or needed refills (which is clear to see we did as our glasses were EMPTY)!!!!! Every time we asked for something (refill, napkins, silverware etc.) it seemed we were inconveniencing her. .. which is IRONIC since it's her job -- The entire experience was tainted due to the poor service! Lastly, the waitress at one point came up to our table and started touching and playing with my one friend's child's toy!!! She didn't ask, she just grabbed it and started messing with it... I don't know how anyone thinks it's okay to touch someone's child's toy. Kids are always putting things in their mouths and both of my friends are very conscientious of germs and not having people touch their children's things without freshly washed hands. It's poor etiquette and inappropriate for a waitress to do this. But this was the first time she approached our table and actually smiled. In regards to the actual food, everything came out hot and really tasty (just not timely or even together!!). They have really good multi grain bread, we tried their blueberry quinoa pancakes (they forgot the blueberries), avocado toast, a yogurt bowl, eggs, potatoes and bacon and sausage. Due to all the issues I only managed to take one pic as we were focused on tracking down our server who seemed to avoid the table at all costs. Can't say I'll be back anytime soon or ever! read more

Wow! My friend and I had breakfast here for the first time a few months ago. The food is excellent! The waitress took her time to go over the menu with us and suggest things. Everything we had was great! I recommend trying the candied bacon! It's delish! It is a couple dollars more than other breakfast places but totally worth it! read more

First Watch is becoming my go-to spot for a rejuvenating meal. Their website allows you to put your name on the waiting list as you're about to head out - definitely do this because it tends to get booked quick! The hosts always greet you with care as they take you to your table. I start off with hot coffee + Morning Meditation juice. You have to double -fist when it comes to drinks for the best experience! My choice for dishes go between savory or sweet. Some favorites are: carrot crunch pancake, salmon frittata, and a side order of the crispy sweet (with a little spicy kick!) bacon. The hot coffee is unlimited so it goes well as you're devouring. You have to pay at the front and it with that, it brings a full circle to interacting with the hosts and raving how great the experience + food is! Love bringing older sisters in here to try it out. They are amazed by the quality. Grateful my older film sis took me here another location yet the taste stays the same! read more

Great and definitely yummy food. Came for breakfast and so many options to choose from. I did the Works and am loving it. Marty was perfect! Friendly, always attentive and cheerful. Definitely needed this early morning. Nice and open space. Very comfy and yet nicely space. Going to revisit here when I'm back in this area again. read more

I came here for brunch after church and was pleasantly surprised. I've passed this location dozens of times and I never knew this restaurant was there. I loved the layout of First Watch, big windows, wood tables and open floor space. The food was really good! I find that there's two ways that any place can do breakfast good and terrible. It's hard mess up an egg and bacon but some places have mastered that skill. I digress, first watch landed on the good side. I ordered the Tri-Fecta standard breakfast order and everything was delicious. I also ordered a green drink (can't quite recall the name of it now) which was also delicious. Big fan of First Watch! Keep up the good work! read more

I never even noticed this place tucked on Old York Road but I was excited to try a new breakfast spot. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros tostadas (minus guacamole) and a side of turkey sausage patties. The presentation was beautiful and I was excited to sit in. The sausage was ultimately the highlight of the meal. The Huevos Rancheros wasn't as thrillingly I thought it would be. It featured chorizo but it was more like bacon bit style so it really added nothing to the entree. The waitress was nice and the service was fast so I'd be willing to return but I need to select an option that I'm more likely to enjoy. read more

Great spot for breakfast or lunch. I've been to a few of First Watch's other locations (they are a chain) and the food has always been good. Their new location in Abington did not disappoint. Our party of two arrived mid-morning on a Saturday (the first weekend they were open) and were seated in less than five minutes. The staff was friendly and well organized. I had The Traditional breakfast (two eggs, a protein, potatoes, toast and preserves), while my husband opted for the daily special (a pumpkin pancake with two eggs and a chicken sausage patty). Everything was delicious. I opted for bacon with my breakfast and it was cooked exactly the way I like it, still chewy. The bacon itself was also mostly meat, not too fatty. The toast was a nice thick slice of bread and went great with the preserves. Potatoes were well seasoned and a nice mix of crunchy and soft bits. My husband loved his pumpkin pancake (not too sweet, actual pumpkin flavor not the ubiquitous pumpkin spice), and was really happy with the mushrooms he'd added to his eggs. We'll definitely be back. read more

A new breakfast spot open in Jenkintown along our routine errand travels. Apparently first watch is a chain of breakfast lunch/brunch restaurants. They are popping up around our area so we stopped in for breakfast. We split a couple items the decor inside is actually very nice, it used to be a Corner Bakery. Food was good. Liked the omelet a lot and sausage was perfect. Potatoes were seasoned perfect, although I like them to be more crisp. Wish there was a choice for bread, not a big fan of whole wheat. Really enjoyed the homemade jam. Service was quick, a solid breakfast choice will definitely be back. read more
