First Watch - Bacado® Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Texas

We just love this place! David was a great server and we were well taken care of. We both had coffee to start and shared the lemon blueberry cornbread (so good!) I ordered a BTL Eggs Benedict (without lettuce or tomato) and added Gruyère cheese with potatoes. My husband ordered a Bacado w/ multigrain toast. Both meals were wonderful and we left full! Next time, I definitely need multigrain toast!! It was just but everyone was so pleasant. They def need a bigger waiting area. It gets jammed up with only one door to enter/ exit and everyone waiting kind of blocks the door. read more

First Watch is probably one of the better breakfast places when you're looking for something higher quality than spots like Waffle House or Denny's. The food is generally healthier, better tasting, and they use real eggs. However, the consistency of both the food and the customer service at this specific location has been horrible. Today was the final straw. I spent nearly $25 on breakfast, including a drink that costs almost $6 (if not more). I ordered the chimichurri steak hash, and the steak tasted very low quality. On top of that, every time I order this $6 drink, I take a few sips and it's gone--mostly because the cup is filled with ice. So this time, I asked for half the amount of ice they normally put in it. When I received my to-go order, they handed me two cups, which is what's shown in the photo. I looked confused, and the employee explained that moving forward, if I don't ask for ice, this is how they have to serve it. What this really highlights is that the amount of tonic you're actually getting fits into a small cup, but they use a larger cup and fill it with ice to justify the $6 price. If that's the case, why not just sell it in the smaller cup for $3 and change? Half ice and half tonic for $6 makes no sense--especially in the economy we're currently in, with food prices continuing to rise. For $6, I can make my own tonic at home that would last me a week. Despite all the negative experiences I've had at this location, I continued to go back because I enjoy their pressed juices and some of their seasonal specials. But this situation--having to argue over what I'm paying for and walking out with two cups--was ridiculous. This was officially my last visit to First Watch. It's not worth the frustration. I wish them luck surviving this economy, but if they don't tighten things up, they won't. read more

I enjoy coming here for their farmhouse breakfast and ambience. My boyfriend got the Farm stand breakfast tacos, which was pretty yummy. He also ordered the mimosa, which was on the pricy side at $9. My usual go-to is the biscuit and and turkey sausage, but I decided to order the Farmhouse hash this time and it was delicious. I just wish the bread was toasted a bit, but other than that the roasted tomatoes, bacon and potatoes, well, pretty much everything on the plate meshed real well with each other and had really good flavors. Definitely ordering it again next time I visit! We also, ended our time there with the salted caramel cookies you get at the register, which was yummy! read more

Loved this spot! Great food options, warm employees who are happy to answer questions, and great spacious seating with an abundance of good lighting. They offer seasonal mini menus - sadly the blueberry corn bread was sold out, but it sounded great. Ordered the breakfast bowl with almond toast and chia seed coconut milk pudding with fresh strawberries, blueberries and bananas. It was so yummy!!! Had a blueberry jam at the bottom and granola. Also grabbed kale drink to go! Only sad part was they don't have decaf iced coffee, but many different options available. Highly recommend!! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Texas

OK, Shaun and I eat out just about every day and First Watch is one of our breakfast choices, we have eaten at most all locations, and most are good, depending on management, Mansfield was not so good until they changed managers. Arlington on Cooper has always been the best in our opinion. Food is good, waffles are great when they are freshly made, when First Watch is loaded with customers the waffles are premade, sometimes served at room temperature and not so good, the warm syrup makes up some, I always request make the waffle fresh. All in All First Watch is 5 star. First Watch Restaurant does not have offer a franchise. First Watch is not a franchise. Instead, it is a privately owned company with corporately owned locations. This allows the owners to maintain consistency and quality across all of their restaurants. read more

I come to this place every time I'm in the south! It's such a basic breakfast place but I love it! The people are always kind, the food is always hot and the drinks never fail! I really wish they had them other places but it's a fun treat when I'm down there! They also always have good meat options for folks who don't always want a heavy red meat. Love this place! read more

Very affordable breakfast and good value ($35 for 2 entrees)! Classic breakfast was fine, soft scramble was more like a regular scramble, potatoes could have been crispier but fine overall. A little bit of a wait (about 30 mins) but no big deal. Lemon ricotta pancakes were good too! read more

I'd rate our visit a 4.5 out of 5. We tried the traditional breakfast, strawberry tres leches, the trifecta, an omelet, and the purple haze drinks--everything was at least an 8 out of 10. The potatoes are definitely a highlight. The only downside was the service; it was just okay, and we had to ask other staff for things we needed, which is why I'm taking off half a point. read more

A party of 9 for breakfast. Excellent service and a huge menu to pick from. Our food was delicious and hot. Our waitress left us a jug of water and a pot of coffee for the table. We had to go cups of coffee which is a huge deal. I had 3 tacos with fresh fruit. Everyone enjoyed the meal! read more

The food was delicious and the server was wonderful.There was many different places to sit. They had options outside.

I really be here for their juices & coffee lol. We love their morning glory drink & the kale tonic. The food & service is good at this location. It does get busy on weekends though. They have indoor & outdoor seating. It was such a beautiful morning yesterday we sat outside. read more

I've been coming to this First Watch since September and the service gets worse every single time. They either don't come to seat me in a reasonable time or they seat me and then forget about me until they see me looking around for service and then they argue over who's section I'm in. I would be willing to dismiss it if it was an isolated incident but it has happened without fail on every single visit. I'm Honestly starting to get the vibe that they don't want me there. I mean I am always by myself and usually order the same thing but I did tip will before i started feeling like I was burdening them by coming in. I am Honestly curious if I am the only one they treat like this read more

I enjoy everything I have ever tasted here. I'm a huge fan of the specialty bacon. Super tasty. Everything is fresh and delicious.

My friend and I went to First Watch yesterday for a filling breakfast before a tattoo appointment. We joined the waitlist on our way there and were quickly seated as soon as we arrived. i was happy to know that most of their items are Gluten-Free naturally and they could do Gluten-Free French Toast! Everything was so good, i especially loved the Morning Meditation juice and The Works Omelette. Our food came out incredibly quick and our server was very attentive! The restaurant was pretty busy when we got there, but it didn't feel too crowded. We will be back! read more

When we walked in the restaurant looked clean, open and inviting, but temp was super cold. Was sat, the server took care of tables around us, welcomed us and took our order promptly. Hot drink came to table room temperature, asked for her to take back with the dirty water glasses. Cake back with cold hot cocoa again, didn't bother asking for another hot one, as the server NEVER came back to check on us. Another server brought out our food.... Eggs on both my husband and my plate were cold, not even the slightest bit warm. Toast wasn't toasted, we got buttered bread. I was running late so I only ate the middle of my omlet. This place is terrible and I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone. I've been to other First Watch indifferent cities that have been great, with equally great service .... I can't say it for this one. No stars, only giving one star because it's my only option. read more

Needed to find a brunch place with plant-based options and also some Tex Mex choices to cover everyone's preferences while on a trip. Boom! Found it! Food and service were great. Loved the breakfast tacos, husband had the chicken avocado chopped salad, the breakfast croissant had fantastic thick slices of bacon, and the oatmeal and fruit bowls and muffins were really good. I can see why there was a big line and thank goodness they do online queuing! read more

Great service, nice lunch. My first time dining here, but not a place I would think of when choosing a restaurant to eat at. However I did enjoy my half sandwich (Ham & Gruyère) and salad (sweet honey pecan) and would recommend First watch over other sandwich and salad places. read more

Normally food is good, this time I placed an order to go for the chile chorizo omelet and it had a bit too much green chile and way too many caramelized onion and not enough chorizo. The avocado was brown and only a teaspoon of sour cream. My toast was soft because it was placed on to of the salad. I'm disappointed again after not eating at this first watch in a while due to inconsistencies. I hope 2026 brings improvement!! read more

I do like coming here, they're pretty good restaurant, I like their fresh choices. I had the bacado omelette and well it says it has bacon... It only has bacon sprinkles... And they are very few of those. The pomegranate, pear juice was delicious. I would highly recommend. The omelet was OK. The potatoes were amazing. I love how they have crispy side and they are all soft and fluffy. My favorite part of the experience was the waitstaff. Henry was amazing and went out of his way to be helpful. read more

Such a cute, quick, family friendly brunch spot. Service was quick and seamless. Typical for breakfast spot nothing spectacular. Plenty of seating, plenty of parking. Such a nice location and beautiful plaza central to Arlington. Food came out so quick. We ordered "The Works" omelette with breakfast potatoes and the French toast. The omelette was actually very delicious and French toast was good. Iced coffee was pretty good for standard coffee, no espresso or anything but had a nice sweet taste. Overall very good go to spot for some quick diner breakfast! read more

I have never been to First Watch until this visit. The breakfast are pretty much $12.99, but most of them include three eggs, four strips of bacon and breakfast potatoes or you can have pancakes, which are very large and waffles, which are very large also. It is a great atmosphere to share with friends and family for breakfast. They serve you coffee in a pot with refills as needed. The service was very attentive the reservation they do reservations and our server was excellent and making sure that we had everything we need doing the rounds frequently. The quality of the food was very good. read more

I came here for lunch by myself. I got to sit at the community table with others of a party of 1 or 2. It was a very cool concept. The service from Heidy was awesome and she brought me tasters of the purple haze juice, as well as the watermelon wake up since I couldn't make up my mind. I ended up choosing the watermelon wake up. To eat, I chose the avocado chicken Cobb. It was delicious. The dressing I got on the side. The bread went perfectly with it as well. It was nice stop to make before heading over to see a friend. I also liked that the ambiance was totally fine for someone eating alone. It was super chill and a nice last meal in Arlington. read more

First Watch - Watermelon wake up juice and avocado chicken cobb - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Clean & open restaurant. Quickly seated & greeted by our waitress. Food came out quickly. I got the Monterey Club with soup instead of side salad because she said they had delicious fresh broccoli cheese soup. It was really good! I should have gotten the lunch combo which was a few dollars less and only half a sandwich because the portions were good sized. The Monterey club has turkey, bacon, avocado, cheese, lettuce & bacon on fresh soft sourdough bread. I got mine without mayo and it was not dry. The soup was delicious. My Mom got the choose two combo with half Monterey club with cobb salad. It was a good sized portion, she was full by the time she made it her sandwich so she took it home and planned to eat it later. My Dad ordered the french toast which is two large pieces, ham steak & potatoes. All were good large portions. Had leftovers. My Dad's wish is that you can just order one piece of french toast. We enjoyed our food and meal together. Would definitely go back. read more

One of favorites in Arlington/ Mansfield area when come visit family. Favorites are skillets and frittatas. Definitely recommend

I keep forgetting to review First Watch. my son and I went for breakfast when we came back from an early overnight flight. He said mom we have to come here again. It is really so fresh. It was so fast to come out. We love how crispy and delicious the bacon is as we ordered the side of bacon. My son had a waffle, some scrambled eggs and I got the ham and gruyere omelette. So now I'm obsessed. I've ordered it five times through either DoorDash or Uber eats. It always gets delivered so quickly and it's so good! I love that they give you these well-done seasoned potatoes with it. So good! If you haven't tried this place in one of the locations around town, you must do so! read more

Love the Cooper location in Arlington. I ordered the Sunny Seoul Hash & the Citrus Hibiscus Punch. The SSH was very tasty. The sauce was very good, but it was lacking the shaved seared pork. The over easy egg was perfect. The drink was also delicious. I would recommend both these items. read more

I've been here a few times and have ordered delivery as well. First Watch is a reliable breakfast/brunch spot with all your classic brunch dishes and then some, plenty of variety and a full bar. I usually get the gluten free French toast because it's delicious and the perfect size. These gf bread slices are larger than most but still smaller than your usual Texas-brunch style French toast. A little costly when it comes with no sides, but yummy. I like a side of bacon or a sausage patty. My most recent order was a parmesan hash brown potato bowl thing with a bunch of Italian flavors and ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, basil, sausage, mozzarella.. and two fried eggs on top! I thought a handful of the potato cubes were close to being a liiiittle undercooked, but otherwise the dish was super flavorful and satisfying. I think it's a lot of food though, I had leftovers. I appreciate that First Watch offers a gluten free brownie and gf rice krispy treat as well. They're pre-packaged but taste good, and it's just nice to have the option.. even though I think the time I'm least likely to want dessert is after brunch! read more

I absolutely love First Watch. It's fresh food and locally sourced. I love the million-dollar bacon and the morning meditation. The price is moderate but the portions are very good. Use their app to get on the waitlist. Nice and casual ambiance. read more

Food is really good as usual, but service is mediocre compared to other locations. Waitress seemed put out by our requests.

It is a bit noisy, but that's to be expected. Overall 3rd be happy to go back read more

Every time I'm traveling and am looking for a good breakfast, I seek out First Watch because I know I'm in for a great experience.

The food here was very tasty. Service was wonderful and ambiance was relaxing. The million dollar bacon was not worthy of the name.

Nevertheless it was still a great breakfast. read more
