    First Watch has a great breakfast menu, they offer so many options and everything is fresh and perfectly cooked. I love eggs, Benedict and they offer several different types. I love their breakfast potatoes and aside from the fresh ingredients they use, their coffee is also so fresh. At this location our service was wonderful and since it's new, the dining area sparkles, they have a wonderful rustic farmhouse decor.

    This is my favorite First Watch location. We joined the waitlist easily and were seated quickly, even on a busy morning. The service was amazing, attentive, and super helpful walking us through the menu and answering all our questions. The food was so flavorful. My eggs benedict came with the most delicious hollandaise sauce, the waffle was perfectly crispy (just how I like it!), and the omelets were pretty big if you ask me. Everything we ordered was fresh and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this location for anyone wanting a great breakfast experience!

    This place is kind of really a 3.6 star. The food here is passable/okay can't really go wrong. Better than what you find in a lower end place. The inside is decorated to have the farmhouse look. The staff were pretty nice and attentive. We came in during a very busy Sunday brunch hour and had to wait about 20 mins to be seated. Our food took even longer to arrive. Nothing from the menu really struck out to be so i just got a skillet. The food turned out to be pretty basic (something you can get in your own kitchen). If you are in the area and don't mind waiting but also need a bite, this place can't really go wrong. But I don't think I plan to return since nothing else in the menu interest me. At the moment they also don't serve dinner.

    I would say it's a [3.5 stars]. There was some wait time to get a table for 2, which wasn't too bad. The interior is decorated in a modern farm house style, looks cute on the inside. Our server was sweet and attentive. The reasons for 3.5 stars as of now: * Very long wait for food -- about 30 min after we ordered everything. Pretty long time for casual and breakfast food. Not gonna lie, I was getting cranky because of being hungry. * My smoked salmon omelette was just okay. Pretty small compared to some other breakfast places I've been to. Needed hot sauce to make up to very small amount of seasoning. Lots of leafy greens on a plate but it doesn't make much difference. * The skillet dish that my boyfriend ordered wasn't served on a skillet, so it kind of doesn't make sense to call it a skillet. * Also you could see some of the back of the house from where we sat and there was lots of debris on the floor and a puddle of water....

    Stopped by First Watch for a breakfast and really enjoyed it! We had the pancakes with bacon and eggs - classic and well done. And I ordered the Healthy Turkey omelette (egg whites with cheese and veggies) and it was super tasty, light but satisfying. The coffee was smooth and the fresh green juice (no added sugar) was a refreshing, healthy touch. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed - perfect for a weekend morning. Will definitely be back!

    We like First Watch for their high-quality ingredients and consistency of food preparation. Another unique First Watch deliverable is the seasoning on their foods. You almost never have to add salt, pepper or hot sauce. My hubby and I had breakfast at First Watch. He had the French Toast with Blueberry Sauce and I had Avocado Toast with egg whites. The Avocado Toast was delicious with only three ingredients avocado, toast and extra virgin olive oil (on the menu EVOO...I had to ask what that meant...probably the only person on the planet that did not know. My hubby looked at me when I asked the question as if I am so embarrassed that you did not know that. However, if you do not ask, you will not know. It did not phase me one bit.) So, now I know...if you did not know, now you know. Smile. The foundation of the avocado toast was a piece of hearty thick-cut whole grain toast topped with a layer of fresh smashed avocado, lightly tossed with EVOO. I opted for two cage-free egg whites on the side. You can always tell fresh eggs because they are not watery. These eggs were as fluffy as a cloud. This dish was very filling and delicious...so much food I could only eat half of my toast. The remainder of my toast was packed up to go. My hubby opted for the decadent First Watch's French toast. These two thick slices of brioche bread were lightly toasted to a golden brown. Inside the French toast had a soft, custardy consistency yet not soggy. The outside of the French toast was crispy and flavorful when drizzled with the blueberry sauce and syrup. The French toast paired nicely with the blueberry sauce and syrup...tangy and sweet simultaneously. My hubby ate both pieces of his toast. Brittany, our server, was fantastic! She frequently checked on us to ensure that we were having a great dining experience. Brittany was a top notch server! While we do not dine frequently at First Watch, we always feel at home and very welcomed. One server opened the door for us when we entered the restaurant to say good morning and welcome. Brittany opened the door for us as we left to say thank you, have a nice day and look forward to seeing you soon. It is these nice little touches that make us want to visit again.

    I'm glad to have this new addition to the neighborhood in a budding entertainment complex that will soon be a prominent part of the area. The service here was good and the food was delicious.

    We finally have a great breakfast/lunch spot in northeast Austin. First Watch elevates breakfast to the next level and we are so happy. We also don't have to travel for miles. The atmosphere is of modern farmhouse decor. Their dishes have that farm to table freshness and individually unique. They've stepped outside of traditional recipes and remade old favorites. With this trip being a soft open, I can't rate their service as there were many trainee servers. Everyone at the opening did a fantastic job. We definitely plan on returning!

I ordered the Bad Ass Bacon & Eggs plate. It came with thick-cut bacon, 2 eggs, hash brown casserole, wheat toast, and smoked salsa. Bacon - 9/10 This wasn't your average thin breakfast bacon. Thick-cut, almost pork belly style, with killer flavor and very meaty. Eggs - 9/10 Cooked perfectly and tasted fresh. Simple, but done right. Hash Brown Casserole - 8/10 Different than what I expected, but in a good way. Unique flavor and a great addition to the plate. Salsa - 7/10 Very homemade style salsa with a smoky flavor. Different, but really good. Atmosphere - 9/10 Loved the vibe. Cozy atmosphere, great music, and just an overall comfortable place to sit and enjoy breakfast. If this place was closer to home, I'd eat here often. Service - 10/10 Excellent service. Christy H. was friendly, attentive, and on point the whole time. Overall - 9/10 Definitely a must-try breakfast spot in Austin. They currently have four locations, and after eating here, it's easy to see why.
