Always delicious breakfast,brunch choices on the menu. Biscuits and gravy has become a new favorite. Service is always friendly and attractive. The restaurant has a very relaxed atmosphere which goes well with a breakfast spot. Check out the specials, there is always something that sounds delicious. read more

Their Coffee is number 1!! It has unique, simple but an original taste. It's not bitter at all. Omgosh that coffee smells sooo good. Everything was so tasty except the potatoes as a side dish.. they are very tiny, dried bites which doesn't taste so good. read more

First Watch - Eggs Benedict with potatoes waffles with warm maple syrup and omelette with ham and bacon, potatoes and wheat toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

Excellent find for brunch. Avocado toast was amazing.... Well, all the food we had was great. Toast is made for them and you can purchase it too. Very good. Service was great too! read more

This is a top notch location of First Watch Better then the one on Anderson Lane Inside is very nice and very large where they can seat a lot of people and they have a community table i believe it is called that it is first come first serve or if they have room to seat you then you are permitted to sit in that area We both ordered the Bacado Omelete it comes with salad you can do potatoes but you got to request potatoes if you forget to say it they will accomodate and give you the potatoes as a substitute the staff is very nice and accomadating and the prices is a little high but the food is quite good they just open for Breakfast and Brunch / Lunch hours as it is a "Daytime" Cafe" read more

Delicious food, friendly waiters, great service. So many yummy options. Breakfast was really good! My only complain is that the place is little bit loud due to the high ceilings (just as many new restaurants in the area) and not great ambience. read more

Incredibly disappointing to show up here with my best friend for the first time and see fire trucks and police cars. Unfortunately we were not able to eat here because a fire alarm went off and it was unclear exactly what happened from what we were told! We were told they were unsure of what time they would be able to serve food. Very sad with my new breakfast plans of ihop and can't wait to come back another time... hopefully when they are serving food again. Hope everything was okay! read more

I don't know about you, but I was glad to see the Egg and I had been replaced so I went to check out the offerings at First Watch. The menu looked appealing with lots of healthy options and lots of not so healthy options. I decided to go with the avocado toast, which boasted a squeeze of lemon, eggs and thick multigrain bread. The avocado was abundant, but sort of had a preservative laden taste to it and the sunny side up eggs were on the plate, not on top, like I had imagined. There was a lemon wedge included, so I guess the squeeze was to be provided by me, which was fine. The breakfast was okay, no better than mediocre. The avocado could have been seasoned and improved with maybe some pickled red onion or capers or roasted pepitas for crunch, but I wouldn't deduct from the review for things that are my preference only. I will deduct for the exceedingly slow service and the off taste of the avocado. It should never take fifteen minutes and a member of your party asking, for someone to bring water and acknowledge your presence. I'd give First Watch a second look (see what I did there), but I wouldn't go out of my way to do it. read more

We waited 1 1/2 hours before we sat down. We were told it would be a 30-40 minute wait. I wish they would have been honest with us as we would never wait that long for breakfastX. Now it's lunch time. We watched so many people who waited outside leave. Over half the restaurant was empty. They said they were low on staff and their kitchen was backed up: I will never ever come back here......very disappointed. read more

First time here and will be back. I had the elevated egg sandwich and it was a tasty one. I loved everything about the sandwich. I ordered everything it comes with, didn't change a thing. We ordered the million dollar bacon as an appetizer. We loved it the bacon. My friend had the chicken salad sandwich and she was in love. I see a bunch of complaints that I don't understand or care to. I suggest you go and just enjoy your meal. The staff were all outgoing and helpful. We are going back again soon. read more

This location has previously been 5 stars but todays visit was less than desirable. Started out with a longer than 30 min wait which is too be expected on a Sunday morning, however I made the reservation online and it said 15-20 min wait. It took 12 min to drive there so it should have been close to having a table ready. But no you need to check in once you get there and the wait time starts then. So don't get your hopes up with online reservation. Once we seated it was a good 10 min before anyone came to the table. I ordered coffee which tasted burnt which I'm sure it wasn't burnt nor old with the amount of coffee pots coming out of the kitchen. They were busy so the food took a while to get out, that's understandable. My scrambled eggs were almost under cooked. When we were finishing our meal my son asked for a glass of water (which it isn't automatically given to the tables are we under water restrictions??) it took so long to get it we ended up leaving. I like the food and the restaurant so I will be back but it probably won't be my first pick. read more

I love coming here for brunch! I always order the trifecta, it is amazing & the waffle is toooo die forrrr! Highly recommend! read more

First Watch - Trifecta - over medium eggs, chicken sausage, & waffle! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

The food is good and the menu offers nice spins on traditional brunch dishes. It's just that the service has been so consistently poor. Neither server we have had could have made it any more clear they didn't want to be there. Everything was a chore-- water, asking what how to make my eggs, talking, smiling.... If First Watch was a terrorist prevention program or a training program for stern headmasters, the service would make more sense. Even the host couldn't make eye contact to the point of weirdness. read more

Juicy poured into a shot glass and no utensils - perhaps they should offer their employees free coffee so they can be awake for their jobs and deliver with accuracy. read more

This was my first visit to First Watch. While it does seem more hipster/modern, it was very casual and a fun place to enjoy breakfast. My only complaint was that when they first sat us at our table, the water glasses that are already placed had finger prints and lip stains on them. Without asking our waitress brought us new glasses so that was very good service. It was still a little gross to see that first when sitting down. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. It was hard to just choose one thing. I got the traditional breakfast with over easy eggs and bacon. The plate comes with two slices of whole grain toast, strawberry jam, and potatoes. The eggs came out perfect. The other items ordered at my table was the avocado toast, and chocolate chip pancakes. We all loved our meals and they have big enough portions that it's hard to finish the whole plate. I would definitely like to return the next time I'm in the area! read more

First Watch - Traditional breakfast with over easy eggs and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

Used to love this place, but they can't cook eggs! Last five times I've been here the eggs always come out with runny whites. Ask for over medium and over well, still the same! Please hire a Denny's or ihop cook! Love the food otherwise but cmon Adding to my review - this is Texas - nobody likes the euro club bathroom music. Addition number three - the owners are obviously Californian - vacuous and disconnected. Never once have made eye contact or said hi... just eating alone read more

What a great place for the breakfast/brunch! The wait was totally worth it. The food is properly cooked, not too greasy and nutritious. There are plenty of option for both vegetarians, vegan and meat eaters. Also, the "healthier side" menu has really good options! I would totally recommend to try coconut milk chia seed pudding, omelet yes, banana pancake, and juice. By the way, one of few places with really good coffee! read more

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

While the food is good, the organization here is pitiful. I have walked out the last two times because there is nobody to seat us. It then proceeds to get way too crowded in the front of the store with people waiting to not get seated. Then customers finish their meals and go to the front to pay and add to the crowd. Of course they stand around for 10-15 minutes trying to give the business their money. Awful system. Oh yeah. One time we were here and a table busser or food runner or something said "get out" under his breath as he walked behind us. I guess we were too slow for him while packing up the baby to leave. read more

Great place to start your morning. Menu has a little something for everybody and atmosphere is great with great service from the staff. read more

First Watch - Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

We had a bit of a wait. But as mentioned by others we could have probably reduced the wait if we had used the app to get in line earlier. And as someone mentioned, the tables don't get cleared fast enough to seat people fast. Also, there was just one guy who was checking people in, seating them, and also handling the register. All this tells me that they don't have enough staff to make things easier and faster for customers. I have never understood why restaurants want you to pay at the register after you have eaten, instead of letting the wait staff handle that. Perhaps is saves on waiting staff? I think it is inconvenient for customers. It is another line the customer has to stand in. Our waiter was excellent. The waiter did forget to transfer one of our orders to the cooking staff. So, we had to remind him of it. It came late. But they gave it to us for free. We had ordered so much that it did not matter - we were going to take food home anyway. The food was superb!! On a fellow Yelper's recommendation, we ordered the Morning Meditation and Rainbow Toast. They were delicious! We also ordered the Multigrain blueberry, Lemon Ricotta pancakes, the Morning Market Veg, and the Skillet Hash Market. Yes, all that stuff for just the two of us. We took half of it home :-). Everything was excellent!! Only one slight complaint -- we don't like lemon. Would prefer an alternative for the Ricotta pancakes. I guess we should have asked if they could substitute if for something else. read more

I stopped in for breakfast. I really enjoyed my meal and the service. I tried the Acai Bowl with Almond Toast and a Carrot Cake Pancake. All were super yummy. I'll be back.. read more

Service is prompt initially, then lacking once you get your meal. The breakfast I had was a sausage with egg dish atop quinoa and spinach. It was tasty and portioned generously, but over salted. Clean and comfortable atmosphere. Customers are expected to pay at the front register. I would try this restaurant again. Hoping I won't be as underwhelmed next time. read more

If you need to brunch, come here. Every plate that I watched come out of the kitchen looked amazing. I had the smoked salmon tzatziki toast. Prob best salmon dish I've ever had. My wife had the BLT eggs Benedict. It too was amazing. The table Coffee was even very good, with a variety of creamers on your table to choose from. There is even a juice bar with many original recipes. Hands down best brunch place I've visited in the Austin area. read more

First Watch - Smoked Salmon Tzatziki Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is like heaven on earth. The quality of the food is amazing, everything fresh. Never disappoints

First Watch at Lafrontera in Round Rock is my absolute favorite restaurant. My friends and I go there for breakfast every week. The food is always consistent and the service is great. We always ask for Michelle for our waitress. She is so friendly and super efficient. She takes everything in stride and gives excellent service. We give her 5 plus stars. If you haven't tried First Watch, give it a try, you won't be disappointed read more

The food was great. The timing to get our food order in and to get the food took longer than expected. Harper was our server, and we thought the interaction was pleasant, but we aren't sure if we offended her. (We don't recall any action, or any words that would have offered offense). But for some reason another employee had to take our order, a different employee brought our food. Harper checked in to see how the food was but otherwise didn't interact with us. At the end, we asked Harper for Togo carriers and a different employee brought them to us. Sorry if we did anything to offend you Harper we thought you were nice. -The couple in Orange on Monday July 5th at 11am. read more

I LOVE this place! I'm here all the time with my boyfriend, the servers know us and are always kind and friendly. I've never experienced bad service here. Agraciana today was awesome, and Sam and Hayley are always a pleasure to see other times we're here! The food is always delicious, if I can't find a special I like on their seasonal menu I'll go with the Floridian French Toast. Last time I was hungover so I tried their sunrise granola bowl (?) from the Healthier side of the menu and it came with a yummy freshly baked muffin of the day that hit the spot! Today I tried the Hacienda Hash on the winter menu. Props to the designers of that btw, I wanna try everything on it which wasn't really the case with the fall menu. The hash was sooo good, a little sweet, a little spicy, even without avocado and sour cream the egg yolk made it moist enough to eat! I always get a side of the whole grain wheat toast too-- so good and they sell it by the loaf for only $7. I totally recommend this place to anybody who wants breakfast or brunch on a weekday. Ask for any of the servers I mentioned, they'll be awesome to you !! read more

Very, very rude employees. I highly suggest the Cedar Park location if you are able. This locations employees are very rude, inconsiderate and have no customer service etiquette. Very disappointed. read more

They need to get their timing better for restaurants. Checked in online and said we'd be seated in 35-40 minutes. We were seated in over 50. When we finally got seated and had to wait an additional 5-10 minutes. I just never appreciate a long wait just because I'm a young adult. There were at least 8 tables open around us and people were leaving because they were told there was over an hour wait. The waitress kinda brushed us aside when ordering but she did apologize for the wait. This place does have decently good food but the staff definitely needs improvement. read more

I've driven by here with my boyfriend a few times and we finally got around to trying it. I'm so glad we did! We were seated immediately, and we ordered their coffee -- which is fair trade from Colombia! The coffee was good and their menu had a lot of really good options. They had a great selection of omelettes but we went with the French toast and farmhouse skillet. I ate the farmhouse skillet and they had perfectly cooked, good size potatoes, perfectly cooked over medium eggs, and it also came with fresh fruit. Love this place and will definitely be back! Our server was also super prompt! read more

Met my boss here for breakfast - I had eggs Benedict (of course), which they had customized by putting bacon and avocado on them. And they were good. Not sure why there seemed to be a small salad on my plate for breakfast. Also had the cheese grit which were ok. We ate outside, but there was a lot of noise from the highway. The server left the check with us, and we waited quite awhile for her to comeback, but she didn't, do finally went inside to find her. Turns out you have to go to the counter to pay. Would have been nice to know. read more

Great food I'm obsessed with all their plates, usually we have a great experience and service, but we went a few weeks ago and well let's just say our server was ruining the experience forgot to bring out 2 things from our orders we were still missing and hardly checked up I needed water for about 10 mins read more

Worst cafe! Service is awful and not very clean. Our server was rude and unprofessional.

Delicious and very flavorful breakfast. The bacon was the best! Service was great! This was our first time here and given the restaurant is in a strip shopping center, we didn't know what to expect. Fortunately, our expectations were exceeded by the great food and service. read more

Great biscuits and gravy!! They have an amazing menus for breakfast. Clean and wait staff were very friendly.

The fact that you can get in the wait list is a great idea, because you get a text before you even arrive. Then a text when your table is ready! The food was great! Good portion size, the pancake is as big as the plate! Good food, good atmosphere, read more

Ok, my husband and I cannot remember the last time we ate out for breakfast and actually enjoyed the meal. These days pretty much anytime you eat out it seems there's something wrong with the experience. Either the food isn't good or prepared properly or the service isn't attentive or knowledgeable. None of those things were the case this morning as we cleaned our plates at First Watch! This establishment was welcoming and clean when we walked in. we were greeted and sat immediately. Our waitress was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. We didn't have to look for her at any point. She was always there when we needed her but didn't come around too much to bother us. And then there's the food... I ordered Turkey sausage and gravy biscuits with scrambled eggs and breakfast potatoes. First of all good luck finding turkey sausage gravy! My Husband and I do not eat pork and that is not necessarily something that is supported or celebrated in any restaurant especially at breakfast time. However they offer it here along with many other healthy alternative choices including the fresh pressed juice selections. I had the kale version and it was delicious! It was so good I actually ordered one of their fresh juices to go to take home. My husband had homemade waffle scrambled eggs and cheese and turkey sausage.. Like I said we both cleaned our plate! The portions are perfectly sized in my opinion and we will definitely be back! read more
