    Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs
    Shannon G.

    I have never had a bad or a mediocre breakfast from First Watch. Always, always have had the most delicious breakfast. I am not a coffee drinker but every so often I do get a coffee and it is so darn good absolutely enjoyed it. My server Joshua, was so kind. He poured my coffee for me, and left the carafe of coffee for me to refill my own. He let me look over the menu for a few minutes and then came back. I gave him my order. Biscuits and eggs. I also added a side of bacon. Only a few minutes went by and my food was sitting in front of me, piping hot. I can't even describe how delicious everything was. The biscuits, who ever makes these is a genius. How are they so fluffy inside with just a very slight crunch on the outside then they're smothered in turkey sausage gravy. It's epic. Mind blowing. Bacon, that's cooked to perfection. There are people who like crispy bacon, and then there are people who like it done right. And First Watch does it right. It's crispy, but not crunchy crispy. Still a little soft and chewy. Eggs, I asked for fried over medium, and that's exactly how they came out. Soft, a little runny, but not too runny. Perfect. I eat eggs daily and they were cooked just like I cook them at home. The hash brown potatoes were great too. Firm and crisp on the outside but firm/soft inside. They didn't fall apart when I stuck my fork in them. They still held together nicely. Was pretty quiet this morning. The day after Christmas and it was pretty early still when I got there. I was trying to figure out how to do a Google review. And Joshua was so kind to help me. I think because I've done one before a long time ago, I can't redo a review unless I delete my old one and write a new one. I'm more of a Yelper reviewer. So here I am, giving another 5 star review update. Joshua was a delight. Thank you for helping me and giving such great service.

    1/2 - From traditional egg platters to omelets and healthy menu choices, First Watch is a sure bet for breakfast in Austin. The food is consistently fresh and delicious -- an easy five stars for flavor and quality. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and speedy with pouring coffee when sitting down. Where it falls a bit short is in attention to detail where most true diners shine. Small things like empty sugar packets, used plastic creamers, and a bit of trash left around the plate kept it from being a perfect five-star experience. With a little more focus on those finishing touches, it would easily be one of the best restaurant-diner in town.

    Strawberry tres leches french toast

    My friend and I split the chicken pesto quinoa bowl and the strawberry tres leches french toast. I was pleasantly supprised at how much I enjoyed the chicken pesto bowl and I thought it was seasoned well. I wish the strawberry tres leches french toast was a bit creamier and less airy though. There was plenty of seating inside and it wasn't too busy so we were seated immediately.

    Food is always delicious! Have been here 3 times now and the servers are extremely kind and accommodating. Lost my phone in the restroom and the waiter that went in after me saved my phone at the front desk! Place can seem a bit crowded sometimes but have always gf a good experience

    Good morning Gorgeous..

    the Star rating for this visit,It's strictly related to the shrimp and grits plate. The service was quick, fast and great.But the food was not Okay, here's my rating of the new dish that first watch put out, which would be the shrimp and grits plate. being a Southerner, shrimps and grits is something That's you indulge in every so often not every day, not every week, sometimes not every month. But when you do indulge in shrimp and grits, you want it to be immaculate, you want it to be flavorful, you want it to be busting with season. Well, first watch this will be the first time that I will rate a dish from you all with two thumbs down. This dish taste it as if someone cooked it in someone church's basement with limited access to seasoning. The presentation of the food was too much. You couldn't see the grits because of all of the extracurricular vegetation that was surrounding the grits, and covering the grits and hiding the grits.. This is a southern dish. This is a dish that you do not put on a menu unless you know you can really come with it. I'm going to take this as a trial era and give this dish another try. If it's still around in a couple of months and see if it's been improved, and also to see if you actually listen to your customers Recommendations. I took a loss on this.I felt like I wasted money. reviews like this can only help to improve the business. You gotta have customers who tell you the truth. When you're good, we'll let you know when you're good when you bet. We'll let you know that you're bad

    Elevated Egg Sandwich, Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl
    Diana S.

    I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place so I went in with very low expectations. The food was pretty good! I enjoyed the breakfast sandwhich with the chicken sausage. The place looked and felt very clean and service was attentive though I will say it took almost an hour to get our food on a slow Tuesday morning. Other than that it was good and would come again!

    Good menu with a nice variety of options. I especially appreciate the wide range of healthy choices, including plenty for vegetarians, like the bowls and other lighter dishes.

    Million Dollar Bacon
    Celeste N.

    Came here a few times and it has always been consistently good. I usually start off my meal with some coffee and move into a juice. I love the different options they have for your meal (breakfast and brunch menu all day). I highly recommend the million dollar bacon if you like syrup on your bacon at home and also the pancakes!

    Brunch time
    Greg H.

    We returned as our start to our Staycation. I tried the breakfast tacos with cajun chicken and chorizo with black beans. Side of Chicken sausage patties and ham. The chicken sausage was amazing as usual. The tacos were large, stuffed to overflowing but kind of bland. If the chicken or chorizo hahad spice you couldn't taste it. The ham was also good. Shana tried the black beans as she prefers them and they were ok. She got fresh market veggie oomelet and stated it was delightful and that the eggs were fluffy af. The staff was pleasant and fast. Less Christmas decor at this place then others. The alcohol is VERY limited so keep that in mind. It is usually busy but we got lucky and had a less busy time. The last visit didn't go as well but this one and previous ones before that did.

    Chile Chorizo
    Gretchen M.

    I got Chile Chorizo Omelet, it was a perfect breakfast combo. A bit of salad, savory toast and delicious Omelet. Our server (Brittney) moved quick like a lightning. Tip: You can get in line on their website.

    Bacon
    Owen M.

    I expect 3 things from a breakfast joint: eggs, bacon, and a view of McDonalds. First watch had all three! This place is a consistently good breakfast or brunch spot that is always lively and friendly, with basic breakfast dishes as well as some interesting pancakes and juices. First Watch has good service, and is a great spot if you are looking for a weekend breakfast or brunch without having to cook or clean.

    See all

    5/5 Service 5/5 Food…read more5/5 Vibes We came in 50 minutes before closing for the AYCE mussels Monday and really hoped we could eat at least 2 plates before the restaurant/kitchen closed. Though service started off slow because the place was packed, we were incredibly thankful of their patience and generosity soon after. They welcomed us (and another table of customers) to stay past closing to eat more mussels and get our fill as they cleaned up since it took a while to cook each plate. Not only that, their coconut, lime, and basil sauce was delicious! My partner slumped up the first couple plates before we continued downing fries and mussels again. We hope to come back again (and earlier next time)!

    OK, so we saw this space school viral on Instagram about their muscles and Fritz happy hour. And…read moreit's unlimited of muscles and fries for $35 which was amazing. We definitely got a reservation because it did fill up while we were there. When I arrived, the hostess was so nice. Got me seated right away and our waiter was super attentive and patient with us because we're very picky on wine and let us sample what we liked and then we ended up getting a bottle because also the wine bottles were half off that evening. Let me tell you the muscles were delicious that sauce that they were in you can literally drink it like soup. And the french fries were so good too. They were literally addicting and you just wanted to keep eating more and more and more. I could tell you, me and my friends ordered about three rounds of muscles each. And the rosé wine that we got was so nice and definitely worth the price. As you've seen my video of the pastries, I ended up caving and getting to go a artichoke croissant and a ham and cheese croissant and OMG they were divine. You can tell everything is freshly bake there. This is definitely a place. I will keep coming back too because everything was so good about it.
