Love this restaurant! The salads are my favorite especially the chicken avocado chop salad, and the pecan salad. Mmmm... Great food, fresh juices, clean and bright, and great service! Best breakfast restaurant in Arvada! read more

Good food but poor management. Complete dis function with bussing tables. I literally watched 4 of 5 tables on the patio sit dirty for over 30 minutes! I volunteered to clean them. Sure. 2 bussers no showed. So what? Waiters or waitresses or Manager? Bus your table and act like you want to make money. Kitchen has it right, but the front of the house is lazy. read more

Here we are an hour in after being seated and still no food! This is the 3rd time I have had this experience. The food is good, but the time you get it, it doesn't really matter due to the frustration! I have given repeated opportunities thinking maybe it was just an off day. Nope... read more

First watch is a great place for breakfast. They have both healthy options and some not so healthy options to make everyone happy. One of my favorites is the Quinoa Bowl. My husband likes the granola and fruit with yogurt. They have some very tasty fresh squeeze juice as well. read more

Very busy, very fast, very good. Get some million dollar bacon and a nice entree. A nice change of pace for breakfast with a group of 3-4.

Great breakfast! Had 3 entrees and the family loved them all. Solid place to visit. Definitely a welcome addition to the area - where we are lacking breakfast joints. read more

Great little place with fresh entrees and tasty food. Many different menu items and a nice variety for those with certain dietary restrictions as well. Busy but friendly service. Rather noisy but delightful nonetheless! read more

Enjoyed this wonderful breakfast, lunch, brunch. Definitely want to try the great variety of breakfast items.

What a great breakfast location for the Arvada area! The decor is clean and homey, the tables are nicely spaced apart so you're not cramped, it's not too loud so you can hear the conversation at your table, and the menu options all sound really tasty! The portion sizes are quite hearty too. I ordered the Chicken Chimichurri Hash, which was really tasty. The flavors were spot on, and the dish wasn't too salty. My only complaint was that there was barely any chicken! Probably 3 thin and small slices of chicken--not even enough to put in half a sandwich. Drop the 'chicken' for the title, and that's what you've got. read more

I absolutely love this food! But Kelly who I think is a manager kind of makes you feel like you're a hassle. I also had a bad experience with Valerie. These girls are just rude and don't make you feel welcome at all. read more

This place is alright. They have good fresh ingredients . They don't seem to have heat lamps because each time I've been the food has been warm but not hot. It's a busy place and I often feel rushed. Arvada seriously lacks in breakfast places so it is a nice addition read more

This place was amazing. I had biscuits and gravy and my boyfriend had one of their skillets and we both enjoyed it, staff was great as well. We will be going back! read more

I always love coming to First Watch. The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. The elevated egg sandwich is my all time favorite. Definitely recommend! read more

Excellent food as always at this location. We frequented locations all throughout South Florida. Service is improving here and still a little slow on food delivery but improving.. read more

Waited 30 mins to get seated which was fine. Asked for water when we first sat down. Didn't receive any until the end of our meal. French toast wasn't very good, and a little burnt. Nothing special no taste. Ordered eggs Benedict BLT and the eggs were over cooked. No flavor. And it came with what looked like a salad but it was just spring mix with nothing on it. Really wanted to like this restaurant and I was really disappointed. read more

First time here and I think we have a new favorite spot! Karen is an outstanding waitress!!! The food was incredible! A++ service all the way around! read more

Amazing biscuits and gravy. The service was very quick and efficient. Recommend doing the check in through the Yelp app to avoid the wait at the door. Shelby did a great job and would also recommend to anyone that is looking for someone that doesn't loom over the table but is still interactive, even with small children. read more

Really great brunch spot but had to wait 40 minutes for a 2 top on Saturday morning around 9:40 but was told I'd only wait 20. That was a bummer. The coffee was , the food also great. Their multigrain toast and jam were the highlight of my turkey omelet. They also don't have a liquor license yet so couldn't have mimosa at brunch read more

If a mom who blogs and Denny's had a love-child, this place would be it. Good food, nothing super outstanding. I like the idea of the restaurant. Four stars since I felt like I paid too much for my meal, the interior had me feeling strange, and the coffee was meh. read more

Not sure why there was a 30 min wait for this place. I noticed they had water and coffee set out for people waiting, great! But they had styrofoam cups!!! The coffee at the table was no good. But thats why they have all the flavored creams at the table I guess.The menu did look good. But the biscuits and gravy was watery/no taste. The same was ture for the eggs benedict. My side of eggs also had no taste. The potato were not very good and not fully cooked. They were kind of pasty on the out side, not golden brown. But they did the right thing when we said our food was not good. They offered to remake it, but we said no thanks. This was not a one off issue. They then gave us a gift card that covered our meal. We left hungry and thinking how dose this place have 4 stars! Ok, staff was very nice, in fact it was that fake nice. But I get that; I think a simple "good morning would you like some something to drink," is good enough. I do not need to be called "friend." Lastly my wife and I both thought at the same time, why is there a Colorado flag on the wall of a Florida based company? That is just a slap in the face to all the top notch Colorado born companies. But that sums up First Watch, tring to be something they are NOT. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. I ordered on the phone and they guaranteed a 20 minute wait for the food. I waited an hour and a half before I ended up cancelling my order because they hadn't even started prepping the order. There were a handful of other groups who also ended up either leaving before the food had come, cancelling their orders due to long wait times, or left entirely. The menu did look good, but poor service and no communication really ruined my experience. read more

This is my go to place for a great meal. The staff is so warm and welcome each time we visit. Becca, is our favorite and always takes a moment to say hi and ask how everything is. The food and coffee is always on point, and their house made juices will brighten any morning. If you haven't checked this place out, you really should! read more

First time at First Watch and we probably won't be back. The wait was manageable...15 minutes for 2 of us...not bad at all. Once we were at our table, our server seemed annoyed when we weren't ready to order-well, we had only been sitting for 2 minutes! We ordered coffee and we asked for half and half as opposed to the flavored creamers on the table; once again, our server seemed put off by our request. Food was okay, but nothing to write home about. Bacon was sort of soggy; bleh.We will stick with our local neighborhood favorites. read more

Excellent breakfast spot! Great atmosphere, love sitting at the shared table and meeting new people. So many healthy options, both food and drinks! read more

Food was mediocre and expensive. Got moved down the table by some people which sucked. Service was good though.

Got a waffle and turkey sausage. Waffle was NOT light or crisp like waffles. It was very... chewy and hard to cut... sausage was barely cooked read more

Horrible. Had traditional eggs Benedict and blt Benedict both eggs were over cooked and we waited and hour!! Will not go back.

This place has my heart-the decor is adorable, the staff is friendly and the food is always delish. I especially love that they give you a whole pot of coffee and water craft-my husband and I always seem to be the couple that constantly needs their cups filled and this touch is amazing! Keep it up first watch! read more

We came here the other morning for breakfast and our experience was very meh and the food was average/good. They said they had no non-dairy milk options. How does a restaurant not have almond or soy milk?! Their potatoes were very tasty. read more

Pretty good food and pretty slow service. Food is on the healthier side which is great. That said the taste also reflects more of a health place. The service is slow even when they aren't overly busy. We did a lot of just sitting and waiting. read more

eh. i cant really give this place anything more than that. it was definitely mediocre i mean, nothing really stood out to me from here. i had the veggie burger, and it was incredibly bland. maybe it's because i got the vegetarian option, but if you eat plant based this place has limited options. read more

I love First Watch. Their food is delicious and service is great. My only suggestion would be to start offering almond milk as a coffee creamer/ dairy free alternative. Also a few more gluten free options, like a gluten free pancake for example, would be beneficial. Keep up the good work! We eat there almost weekly! read more

Loved my first experience here, definitely will be back! It was hard to choose a brunch item because everything looked so amazing. The (non-alcoholic) drinks we saw coming out to other people all looked like something I wanted to try, and the Million Dollar Bacon was so great. Every single thing I saw coming out of the kitchen and had on my plate looked super freshly prepared; its not every day you see that at a restaurant. I can't wait to go back! read more

Such a good restaurant and a great experience. I always love the food. I'm so glad my favorite server, Amy, returned after the covid shut down. Amy has such a great spirit and provides the most amazing service. Honestly, I come as often as I do because of her and I always ask to sit in her section! She is such a treat and always makes it a positive experience. She's a hard worker and obviously enjoys providing a quality experience for her customers. Thank you Amy!! Keep up the good work. read more

The staff is super friendly and they have DELICIOUS food! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a a good Breakfast/Brunch place! read more

Really enjoyed the food and location. I ordered the beef and harvarti sandwich with mixed greens. Beef was lean and tender. Salad was fresh. Location was clean and appealing. Well priced $14 with drink and tax. read more

Great food, huge restaurant, awesome people. Server needed some help in remembering that we ordered choc milk for our son..& lemons for my water. I know, #high-maintenance, but that's what I drink...before noon. Great on all other accounts! read more

What a beautiful new restaurant for Arvada. The pancakes and omelets are delicious. Our server was nice and friendly. We will be back. read more

Food was great, but our waitress was not attentive - didn't check on us for over 20 minutes and couldn't get her attention. She was also grumpy. read more
