Ok this location is improving. They added a fly repellant device for outside tables! The food is always good, but service could be slow with the limited staff. Don't come super hungry- so you can be patient through their growing pains. The food is worth it and the morning meditation is wonderful. read more

Quick birthday bite for my friends birthday! We didn't realize there were multiple locations but so glad it was one close to us on Bill Kennedy. Ambiance warm and cozy especially since it was raining that day. Food gave the same feelings. I ordered the cranberry crush which I think is a holiday drink. If you like cinnamon it's for you! 2 for 1 lunch deal. I ordered the ham and Gruyère sandwich and avocado Cobb salad. Both delicious and comforting. Service was great especially considering our waitress was the only one working from what we noticed. She literally was working the whole place. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our recent experience here was disappointing enough that it warrants a warning to others. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that customer service is not a priority here. Despite having a reservation, we waited nearly 30 minutes just to be seated and that was after standing awkwardly at the host stand with no acknowledgment from the staff. Several employees walked by without so much as a glance or greeting. Once seated, things didn't improve. We sat at our table for over 20 minutes before anyone came by to offer water or take our drink order. There was no sense of urgency or even basic attentiveness. What really pushed this from a bad experience to an infuriating one was our attempt to speak with a manager. After politely asking twice, we were told the manager was "busy in the back" and couldn't come out. No follow-up, no apology, just a flat out refusal. I've worked in hospitality, and I know how tough the industry can be, but the lack of accountability and unwillingness to engage with customers is inexcusable. To be fair, the food was decent, but nothing special and certainly not worth putting up with the neglect and rudeness. In a city with so many great dining options, there's simply no reason to subject yourself to this level of disregard. Bottom line: SKIP THIS LOCATION unless you enjoy being ignored, disrespected, and made to feel like your presence is an inconvenience PERIOD. read more

Again thought this place would improve just not good on a Sunday for after church. Waited one hour and some minutes on my food to come out and then it came out all WRONG. MY HUBBY FOOD WAS RIGHT but mine was incorrect. Terrible so I left hungry. Wow. Manager never came to address because she was busy working in the kitchen. Everybody was hustling but unfortunately it did not equal a great outcome. Work plus effort doesn't equal results. read more

The worst customer service, the waiter at the bar was rude. he would not ask us if we wanted any drinks or any food. After that, he came five minutes later and told us the restaurant was now closed and he can no longer serve us. And we walked in before the restaurant closed, and there were still lots of people there with food, but they will not serve us. I would not recommend that place for good service. read more

Service was great, the restaurant was clean & well kept! However, the reason why I am only giving four stars is because I asked for well-done potatoes, and it got burnt potatoes, but I did end up getting better ones without any real hassle Patrick, our waiter said that he was told to bring out the burnt ones to me, and he knew that it would not work, but he did what he was told. Today, he learned a valuable lesson, do what you know to be right and what is in your customers best interest, rather than what you're told in the back! read more

The purple haze was a light and refreshing drink to have! The agave on the bottom could have reduced to avoid being too sweet but I would definitely get this again! I added the immunity boost for the extra vitamin C. The service was good and they were very attentive. I loved the fact that you can use a QR code to pay instead of waiting for the host. The donut holes are ADDICTIVE! The fruit compote is light not sugary. Compliments the sweetness of the donut. The chocolate sauce was JUST RIGHT! I ended up combing the compote and sauce for food bliss! Great lighting, the menus were big and had multiple options for brunch or breakfast. A must do for a light yet filling option. My friends LOVED the million dollar bacon. read more

The only reason I gave 4 stars is for the waiting list management. I was a one person walk in and the kitchen was backed up so the wait was about an hour. I didn't have anything to do so I waited. I noticed people getting sat that came after me so I went inside to sit. To there credit the guy at the host stand remembered me and sat me right away. Now let's get to the good part! The service once i was seated was great. My waitress was super attentive. I had the BARBACOA QUESADILLA BENEDICT and they need to put this on the menu permanently!! I order it with the eggs on the side with no hollandaise. It. Was. Delicious. The flavor was so good. Now that I am thinking about it I need to go back before it's gone. I had a lavender vodka drink that was strong and good. This is definitely a good spot for tasty brunch. read more

This will definitely not be my last watch, thats for sure. The omelette was perfect. It had the right amount of cheese and flavor. I have passed this place so many times and never thought to go because its supposed to be healthy..but if it was healthy, it sure fooled me. This may become one of my go to breakfast spots!! read more

Sheena judges chain restaurants. Sheena judged First Watch. Dont be like Sheena. Thank you Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and the Universe for blessing Atlanta with a First Watch. The world is a better place. Breakfast drinks both alcoholic and non. Refreshing and rejuvenating. What everyone needs to start their day the right way. This is one of those places where you truly cant decide so you just go all in and get 2 entrees. (If you dont do that - try it here). I don't even like frittatas but the smoked salmon one was calling my name. I am so glad I answered back. It was really flavorful with sweet onions and a creamy sauce on top. I also had a pumpkin pancake that was the best fall symbol my mouth has ever tasted. I left room for the donut hole thingies - so light and airy and delicious. I don't like to repeat places in Atl because there is so much selection. First Watch is absolutely going on my exceptions list because I WILL be back shortly. read more

We visited this restaurant for breakfast. We always have great experiences at First Watch. Our experience at this one was no different ! The server was very attentive and sweet. The service was a smudge slow but over all the experience was good and the food was fresh and tasty. This First Watch is a lot bigger then the one in our area. read more

We went on a busy Sunday so there was a bit of a wait. 25min which isn't bad considering it was prime brunch time period. The lounge chairs on the big open green space in front of the restaurant made it just fly by. The service and food -both excellent. Something for everyone on the menu. In our party we had an omnivore, pescatarian and vegan. We all enjoyed our food and left very full. read more

It was my first time there. Went with my first family( son,daug in law,daughter and granddaughter), the Rockers. Sunday brunch, and it was great!!!!! Will go again! The food and the vibe were great. Its a busy place but worth the wait. read more

I was a little skeptical of this place just because it is a chain. But I shouldn't have been. It was pretty good. I was happy happy with my meal, the rustic frittata with added ham and removed the mushrooms. Along with sourdough bread and some dressed greens, my meal hit the spot. My sister enjoyed her omelet and not pictured, but she had a freshly pressed kale juice/vodka drink that was very refreshing. My drink, pictured, is cereal milk, with almond milk, cold brew coffee, spices and some sort of alcohol. Very tasty beverage. Also a place I recommend. read more

This morning, the food was definitely great and my waitress was amazing. The hostess doubled as a cashier without ever looking flustered. I was impressed. However, I had a whole GRASSHOPPER on top of my salad. While the waiter that I called over and my waitress were very apologetic and worked fast to correct it, you would think that the manager would come out and apologize-or at least take it off the bill. Didn't happen. They took pictures with their cell phones, but didn't make the effort to come out of the kitchen to address it with me. And the more I think about it, I felt the need to leave this review. The staff and food should not be more dedicated to customer service than management read more

Have been to a few of these and always loved the food and service usually was adequate. The experience at this place was not even close. I think the server had to have a full tray of drinks before doing any. Ordered water and ice tea and it took 20 minutes each time to get them. The food took quite a while longer than anyone would expect for breakfast. We sat at 11am and left at 1pm. It took 15 minutes to get a Togo box and the check. Really don't understand since they don't deliver the food or cash you out. It wasn't even busy with plenty of staff. read more

The absolute BEST part of our meals today were the juices. The Morning Meditation, Tangerine Dream and Kale Tonic.. Did not have a good experience today with the Blueberry pancakes, the French toast or the biscuits. Maybe I've been coming too often...So Ima take a break...I'll be back tho. read more

Well since they are building one of these by my work,I thought I would test this location. So I would describe this place as a hipster type breakfast place. The food quality was great. Yea it took a while but they were also extremely busy. I sat at the bar. The person serving the bar seemed to be a bit over whelmed in my opinion. She took my order but food was delivered by a manager I presumed. She didn't return until well after my food was delivered to refill my glass. She did however offer me one to go. She also delivered my check well before I was done. This to Mr was a sign to hurry. They do got alot of things on the menu I wanna try,so I will return. I notch them one for customer service. read more

I've heard many people mention this spot so decided to give it a try. I'm not really a breakfast person but decided to go anyway. I like the area that this place is in. Plenty of free parking, eclectic community, great atmosphere. I hopped on the Yelp waitlist in advance so that I wouldn't have to wait long. This is a great feature by the way. I arrived and was placed at the top of the list. I literally waited 5 minutes. The menu has great options. They also have a bar. I was glad to see that. They offer some healthy food choices as well. I had the green juice. I can't recall the name but it was really good. The food was amazing. The place was clean. The staff was professional. The waiter was somewhat slow but during Covid and most places being short staffed... it wasn't that bad. I would definitely return. read more

Everything about First Watch checks my list of favorites. The service the ambiance of the restaurant and the food are all awesome in my opinion! Things to try: if really hungry- the sausage gravy biscuit. My usual is the Trifecta, which I choose the chicken patty cooked well, the multigrain banana walnut crunch pancake ( I think that's the name) scrambled egg with white cheddar. Delicious! Try anything and you will be pleased. Happy Brunching! read more

Some of the best brunch! This is a chain restaurant, but still delicious. It is in a strip mall type area so there is plenty of parking which is a plus in ATL. Visited on a Sunday around 11am, but pro tip you can join the waitlist online before you arrive. Joined the waitlist online and checked in and only waited 5 minutes. They have a good menu and I love their elevated egg sandwich (Fresh, over-easy cage-free egg with bacon, Gruyere cheese, fresh smashed avocado, mayo and lemon dressed arugula on a brioche bun. Served with fresh, seasoned potatoes $10.99). Really yummy and the service was good. read more

UPDATED: Just tried to go back a few weeks after the company called me to apologize. I walked in shortly before closing (which I didn't know at the time). We walked right in & nobody spoke. No problem I checkout the menu again for a min. I'm literally standing at the front desk where a employee is counting money. He looks up at me, smiles then proceeds to finish his what he's doing. Another employee (thank god for him) asked what I needed, I told him to order, he then lets me know machines are down as they just closed... -_- I guess me & this location Is not meant to be. ORIGINAL REVIEW: First time at first watch... I enjoyed the lemon ricotta custard pancakes for the most part--well, the actual pancake was dry but the custard really gave it moisture & flavor. If you're weary of different textures then the custard may not be for you. Now... in regards to this "Dollar Tree" bacon disguised under the name "Million Dollar" is ridiculous. I don't even know if I got the Million Dollar bacon. I didn't see a dash of pepper, maple syrup, or hell... even dust! You can judge it by the pic, I can get that bacon better at Waffle House. I'm really just mad at myself for getting bamboozled into buying some almost $6 bacon. The Purple Haze drink was pretty good. They forgot to bring it with my order, so I had to wait a little moment for it--but it was worth it. My girlfriend had the waffle, she enjoyed it. Not a place I'd comeback too based on the service and food taste not being up to par with the restaurants price points read more

Breakfast brunch place near my house so I tried it out. I placed an order online and it said it would be ready at 1pm so I went over and got there at 1 and the hostess looked at me with a confusing face as I was coming in. I go up to her and tell her that I ordered online and came to pick up. She pointed to her right where there was bunch of togo bags waiting to be picked up. I went over and my order was not there. Then she told me to wait and it'll be out soon. I waited for 15 mins until someone else came and asked what my order name was. She took a little bit longer than 5 mins to come back and gave me my order.. I literally had to wait almost 20 mins past what they told me online. Everything is fine until I went home and tried my food. I ordered a Bacado omelette and my BF ordered a A.M superfoods bowl. The superfoods bowl was pretty good but my omelette was not that good . Not much filling and also the side of seasoned potato had a burnt taste. Even though I had to wait to get my food , the potato was cold and did not have a fresh taste ( I also live right in front of them ) They also gave me one small piece of avocado on the side.. read more

This place is AMAZING! The food was Delicious and everything was cooked to perfection. Our server Nicholas was the BOMB!! he delivered excellent customer service and just delightful.

Keeping First Watch on rotation most definitely. read more

I had to wait for about an hour and fifteen minutes (labor day) just to get my table but it was well worth the wait. They send you a text when your tables ready so your free to roam around the area and check out the cool restaurants they have . Its also right off the belt line . Inside they all practice safety COVID rules correctly . Everyone has a mask and the tables are separated at least six feet apart . The condiments are given separately . I asked for tabasco and they gave us these cool mini Tabasco sauces. Food The food was amazing and they have a great variety of foods to choose from. They even have a seasonal menu. I ordered the (Seasonal)pumpkin pancakes which came with the pork sausage with two eggs your style but I got mine sunny side up ( ALWAYS). The pancakes were big and delicious , you can really taste the pumpkin in it . A side of biscuits and gravy and my gf got the A.M superfood bowl. The biscuit and gravy was delicious , great portion of thick gravy with chunky pieces of sausage topped on a fluffy biscuit. I'm a huge biscuit and gravy fan and this might be second to homegrown IMO. The A.M superfood bowl which was a bit sweeter than expected but still very good with a lot of fresh berries and a strong coconut flavor. It was close to eating a parfait rather than a watery chia pudding. The whole grain toast was a bit hard to eat but the almond butter was spread across generously and very good. Overall I had a great experience! We went ahead and took a look at the menu during the wait so when we got in there , we order right away. The food came out surprisingly fast and the service was perfect. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that love breakfast / brunch spots . read more

After a walk on Atlanta Beltline I headed to First Watch for a bite to eat. I've had this restaurant bookmarked for awhile now and finally got the chance to indulge. I ordered the Market Hash which consist of 2 cage free eggs-any style ($1.69 up-charge for cheese eggs), atop seasoned potatoes, house roasted crimini mushrooms, zucchini, baby spinach, red peppers, shallots, melted mozzarella & goat cheese, and wholegrain artisan toast. Breakfast was great! The food was well seasoned. I topped it off with the morning meditation drink which consist of orange, lemon, beet, turmeric, organic ginger and agave nectar. I will definitely order this dish again and I highly recommend it. read more

Ok. First THANK YOU!! for using your soft opening to raise funds for Amanda Riley Foundation. Now the tough parts. Staff. - awesome. Both the local and corporate overlords. Roast beef. Nasty. The meat was worse quality than Arby's. Gummy and no meat texture. Wedding soup was awesome. Kids meals. $6. Right price and plenty of food for kids. (Or adults if they let you order as an adult) Farm house skillet hash. Great flavor. Potatoes tasted like they were cooked from frozen. Done on the outside. By under cooked inside. Avocado was fresh and tasty. Everyone's berries were tart and not ripe The blueberry special drink was $5 and watered down. Get a smoothie next door in the same complex for the same price instead. Sorry about the honesty especially with the soft opening and donations you did but the food quality is not worthy of this neighborhood st this price. A few blocks away is a local breakfast place that is 10x better. Maybe lose the corporate feel. (And random art by the registers that has nothing to do with Madison yards or the area??). Or the hard corporate lighting. Not a place I would recommend or return. Feels and tastes like the equity firm that owns them. read more
