We love our Cortez and 75 location family there. We eat there several days a week. Always fresh and healthy choices and great team work!

Healthier choices as well as traditional breakfast plates. I really like their avocado toast here. Food never disappoints. Friendly staff that makes you feel welcomed the moment you walk up to the doors. The restaurant is clean. Love the new decor style it makes it more modern contemporary. read more

This month I celebrate my birthday so today we went to First Watch for breakfast! We were seated right away and greeted and our drink order was taken. I chose the spring menu item BEC without the spice with a side of fruit while my hubby got 2 pancakes! Food came in a very reasonable time and was nicely plated and hot! Everything tasted delicious and it's definitely a bonus when your birthday meal is BOGO! It was pretty quiet this morning g so we enjoyed sitting next to each other talking! We always enjoy going here to have breakfast brunch or lunch! read more

Food was great, service was a bogie. Had a large group of 35. Were a little slow to start us, food came out fast after we waited 45 minutes for someone to take our order and never got glasses of water. Had the roast beef sandwich, it hit the spot. read more

I had not been to a First Watch in a long time but we had driven 2.5 hrs to Sarasota and got there at about 11:30 so we felt brunch was the right choice for a meal! The place was not packed so we were seated right away. My teen had chocolate chip pancakes, my husband had french toast and I had eggs benedict. All 3 dishes were delicious and good portions. I also had their green juice which was very refreshing. They had both inside and outside seating which is great this time of the year. Overall will come again read more

I rarely tip 20% or under but today she only earned that if even. I specifically asked for no cheese in my omelette and it was loaded. She didn't come back around until the meal was half over and her look told me she screwed up not the kitchen. The mixed greens that came with it were spoiled and had that musty moldy taste. For 2 breakfasts 40.00 is too much. I just can't and the subpar service, nope. read more

Came for a work lunch with my boss on my most recent visit. We were quickly greeting and promptly served. Both of us enjoyed our meals, the Farmhouse and traditional breakfast. It would have been nice for our server to come back after dropping off our check, though. We wanted to go drinks and were left to ask for them when we went up to pay. 12.06.2005 read more

We had breakfast this past Saturday morning at this location. I've eaten at First Watch a good 5-6 times over the past few years, but have not reviewed them yet. I would like start by saying the ambiance was charming and clean. The waitress who waited on us was very friendly and attentive. We had the egg's benne with ham and home fries, grits, and a chocolate chip pancake. Now for the eggs Benedict the eggs slightly overcooked but overall pretty good, the home fries were decent (wish they were a little softer), the grits had a unique cornbread taste which we both agreed were tasty, the pancake however was slightly burnt on the bottom, but hey maybe they made a mistake that day, I will try again in the future. Overall not a bad breakfast spot. Food 6.5 Ambiance 8.0 Service 9.0 read more

service terrible it was a bit busy and Saturday but could have a bit of hustle to get tables cleaned and people waiting seated. Food cold and terrible had the Barbacoa breakfast bowl soggy chips all tasted like the salsa on it, elwe all complained about the food being cold. Then after a 30 minute wait and terrible food we wanted to leave but waitress never came back to give us a check. Also had to pour our own water. Not a big deal but not sure what the purpose of going out is at this point. Avoid big chain! read more

Excellent food and service. The recent remodel at the market street location was tastefully done. This is our favorite location. Best breakfast location in the area with excellent food variety and value. As a customer for almost 20 years, this is our go to breakfast restaurant. We started going when we lived in Brentwood, TN years ago. read more

It's a great First Watch. Excellent servers and food. Great atmosphere. It's a popular venue so that says a lot.

First Watch is always great! This location is no different. We came on a Friday morning. I had the classic with potatoes, eggs and sausage. Wife had the new maple breakfast croissant and the little one had eggs and sausage. All the food came out fast and was delicious. The staff wad incredible and nice. Prices are fair. Ambience is relaxing and calm. Perfect experience. read more

The Brooklyn Breakfast Sandwich is a MUST try!! It was delicious and perfectly executed. I got mine without mayo and onions and it was perfect. The pastrami was crisp and plentiful. Lived the EBTB seasoning in the roll. The fruit was the perfect side. Also pro tip: get yourself in the waitlist before you drive there. You will get in super quick when you arrive. Delicious!! read more

Have seen their "million dollar" bacon, finally ordered it. Terrible and over priced for regular bacon stone cold and swimming in cold sickenly sweet sauce read more

There is a wealth of options on the menu. We typically get a large plates of eggs+vegetables, pancakes, oatmeal. We have eaten at dozens of first watch outlets from Jacksonville to Naples. Across all the outlets, the service is outstanding. The attention to detail is forethought . I am one who blames faults on management. In this case, I give credit to management. There is a lot of serving staff on hand. They seem to be consistently trained, And uniformly friendly. *Having said all that , this restaurant at market street is my favorite. * read more

Great Italian omlette and excellent roast coffee! Friendly wait staff & server, Abigail

Came here this morning and place looks awesome after they had some construction done. Not sure what it looked like before it but it looks really awesome and clean. My burrito was good but the only thing I would suggest is for them to press the wrap so it doesn't have the full taste of it, that kind of took it away from what was inside it . But overall it was good and we had a great meal read more

Another great visit I do like First Watch restaurants and have managed to visit all of them in the area. I don't think I have been disappointed with a visit yet, and that streak continues. Our breakfast yesterday went great. We have learned to add our name to their online waitlist on Sundays, so when we arrived, they were almost ready to seat us. Our upbeat server got me started with coffee. I ordered my usual choice, their Parma Hash Skillet, which took about 15 minutes. I like this dish, it has lots of ingredients topped with a couple of eggs, a good amount of food. When you order coffee they leave a pitcher with you so you can top off your cup whenever you like. Ketchup bottles, which disappeared a couple of years ago, are back on the tables. By the time we were finished the check had already been dropped off, so no waiting to go pay at the register. Just another great visit. read more

The potatoes are so so so salty that it's like the chef tripped and dropped a whole container of salt on them. I love salty foods but I could not eat these. The quality has gone down sadly. read more

The service was good and the place was relaxing. The one thing I didn't like was that the portions for the breakfast was small.

Very disappointed in our little order. One pumpkin pancake and donut holes that were very very small and very few in order for $18. Long wait also go order very disappointed! read more

Seated immediately upon arrival about 9am on a Sunday morning. It was my sister's birthday and we shared that with our waitress... She was really kind and friendly telling us her son had just turned two the day before. The service was excellent and we both really enjoyed our healthy breakfast - my sister had a frittata and I had the veggie omelette. Would definitely visit again. A nice sweet touch was our waitress gave my sister a free muffin to go for her birthday celebration. read more

Always a favorite for breakfast on a Sunday! I get the Italian omelette every time! It's delicious and filed with the perfect ingredients. The potatoes in the side are flavorful but I wish they could be a bit more crispy. read more

Consistent quality, value in food and ambience in this franchise at Market Square LWR University location. Food is good generally although home potatoes tend to be overdone. Service is usually attentive and friendly. Ambience is good with indoor and outdoor shaded ding available. Conveniently located with plenty of free parking generally available. Try it for yourself and see what people are talking positively about. read more

I paid nearly $30 (including the tip) for am omelette and drink and it was awful. It wasn't hot, the cheese wasn't inside; it was placed on top..... read more

*DOWNLOAD THE APP* My friends and I had a 5k walk at Benderson Park and wanted a healthy breakfast afterwards. Once we finished, I jumped on the First Watch app to put our name on the waiting list. The app gave me an estimated time to arrive and check in (20mins). Great timing. We completed our cool down, loaded up and headed over. From there it was only an additional 5 mins! It was great! The staff was friendly, service was swift, and the food was delicious. Our table had healthy to savory options and everyone raved about their meal. We will definitely be back, to make sure to check in on the app before I leave the house. I wish more restaurants had this option. Very convenient. read more

Love this brunch spot. Everything is fresh, and favorable! Great service. Very clean inside.

The new First Watch Restaurant, located at the corner of Rt 70 and Lorraine Road, in LWR is a beautiful new restaurant. It has a very inviting inside and outside decor, yummy fresh food served with a smile! A wonderful addition to our Ranch! read more

I've been to first watch many times and I don't think it's any secret that this is a great brunch spot. Their seasonal menus are always so interesting; however, I always enjoy some staples as well such as the elevated egg sandwich, the trifecta, the skillet hash, etc. I definitely recommend the morning meditation, I am not a fan of beets but this juice is just so good! read more

This is a great little brunch spot. We've been in for both breakfast and lunch here and had a great experience each time. The place is spacious and always very clean, and the staff is friendly. Their breakfast menu is pretty standard, albeit more healthy than other chain restaurant breaky menus. This was my first time trying their lunch menu and I was impressed. The Monterey turkey club sandwich I had was excellent, and the kale salad on the side was straightforward but tasty. All of the ingredients taste fresh, not frozen, and make for a great healthy lunch option. The prices aren't half bad, either. read more
