First Watch is definitely a 5-star restaurant, but the coffee ruined the meal for me. I wanted my cancer-causing pink packet Sweet-n-Low plus real whole milk from a cow. What I got is in the photo: turbinado sugar, stevia, and almond not-milk. Harrumph! The 1st cup of coffee tasted so bad that I put it aside and started again. Colin brought me some milk in an adorable tiny ewer that held 1/3 of how much milk I wanted. Coffee Chemistry is an art and I could not create tasty coffee with what I was given! Grrrr! Next, I asked for corned beef hash. The scowl the waitress shot me was so funny that I highly suggest you go in here and ask for corned beef hash. LOL My plate arrived very quickly and was very attractive. I started with the bread, a food I haven't eaten in a month because I had to get my blood sugar down. This was a real homemade sourdough with bubbles, and it was worth waiting a month for that freshly baked bread. Next came the salad, "organic mixed greens" with oil & vinegar. Damn hippies! What are we in Berkeley, California? I wanted greasy FRIED potatoes! I ate the healthy salad and half my egg frittata. If you call an omelet an omelet, it costs $8 - but if you call it a frittata, you can charge $12. LOL. But seriously, it was yummy and perfectly cooked. However, because I couldn't enjoy the coffee, I took the salmon-half of the frittata home to eat later with my own coffee. Most other patrons weren't drinking coffee here; they had booze! Mimosas and Bloody Marys and even Vodka Kale Tonic. LOL. I know it's Florida, but I am not drinking alcohol at 10 AM. Vodka Kale Tonic! In short, bring your own toxic Sweet-n-Low or order the booze. The breakfasts are outstanding and the portions are fat. And ask for Colin cuz he's cool. 5-stars read more

Great brunch location! Me & my mom came here for my birthday brunch last week and the food was amazing. Absolutely a 10/10 & I highly recommend! read more

When we arrived to First Watch we were greeted immediately and the hostesses were so pleasant. Our server, Rachel, is actually who sat us though. She was so accommodating and offered coffee and water right away as well as a high chair for the baby. She gave us as much time as we needed and even helped us decide on our orders. I had the pomegranate sunrise, which was amazing and my husband had the mango passion fruit juice which was just as delicious. For our meals we had the traditional breakfast with sausage, a blueberry pancake, and the works omelette with no tomato. It was all so delicious that I failed to get a picture. Our only complaint with the food was the potatoes were very undercooked. Rachel brought us a fresh fruit cup instead of the potatoes. The omelette was packed with meats and cheese but it wasn't overpowering. The scrambled eggs for the traditional breakfast were seasoned and scrambled well. It was truly just a great meal with a great atmosphere of people (who seem like) they really want to be there. read more

I love their food I would love if there are more options for people that do not eat a lot. Their blueberry muffin is delicious though as well as their iced coffee. Their service is amazing the waiters are always so kind. The ambiance is so gorgeous honestly I love the way everything is decorated. I totally recommend this place! read more

Service was top notch! Food was hot, gorgeous presentation and certainly delicious! Atmosphere was pretty loud but the place was fully packed and sounds seemed to bounce off the walls, ceiling, and floor. We split the lemon ricotta pancakes (so creamy) and the double crunch breakfast tacos (just right). Yum! read more

Food is usually good nothing special but the service is almost always bad. Today was the last time I'll be going, we sat for 15 minutes before we got up and left. We were never even acknowledged after being sat. Spoke to the manager and he didn't care at all, he even tried to avoid me as I was walking directly toward him to tell him what happened read more

This place reminds me of something out of California. Most of the stuff is healthy and good and not typical. That may be the problem is that there's nothing normal here, like no traditional eggs and bacon. That being said it's one of my favorite go to. Clean and great wait staff read more

I love the food, but omg the kitchen staff must be running the thermostat, we were freezing and 3 tables around us were complaining about how cold they were. We were here last week and it was like this also on that day....I think we will find another first watch location that I don't need a winter coat to visit...brrrrr read more

Delicious breakfast. We had Eggs Benedict and the chickichanga, both were delicious and the service was fast and friendly!

I went there with my friend for the first time and they were busy but we still Got awesome service and great food we also got Our food Really quick this is a really Great breakfast place I love it now u try it. read more

Always consistently good food, drinks and service. I eat out often. Especially breakfast as well as cook in a popular breakfast restaurant myself. This place is the only other in FL I've found so far that competes with Florida Cracker on any level. The breakfast tacos are a tasty go to and always fresh. Where else can you get a pot of coffee at your table, a fresh Bloody Mary as well as great food for a reasonable price in FL? Give it a shot!! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooksville, Florida

I love this restaurant and I have visited it in many cities. It is always consistent and has fantastic food. There is something for everyone but my personal favorite is the avocado toast for breakfast. They have everything from the healthy to the gluttonous. I have not eaten lunch in this restaurant but the menu looks incredible. I believe I could eat everything on the menu for breakfast and be completely pleased with the selection. Don't expect a wimpy price like a fast food restaurant but it also isn't a four $ either. It is somewhere in the middle but well worth it because of the fresh food and the adequate service. Never had a basted egg? Well you will here. It's quite tasty and not at all what I though get basted eggs should be, in a good way. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while. I knew it had healthy breakfast options but I was pleasantly surprised by it's trendy menu, glassware and completely open view kitchen. Seasonal menu for fall includes tasty dishes like butternut squash soup, pumpkin donut bites, pumpkin pancakes, mushroom potato hash in addition to it's regular menu full of breakfast dishes, sandwiches and avacado toast. I ordered off the seasonal menu and asked for the pumpkin donut bites it came with two dipping sauces apple caramel sauce and a white glaze for $6. The entree I selected was also off the seasonal menu truffle mushroom hash truffle roasted shiitake and crimini mushrooms, potatoes, bacon, monterey jack cheese, two eggs any style, parmesan cream, lemon arugula for $11.39. I tried their butternut squash soup that was thick and not watery like at Panera Bread. Also ordered was the morning mediation speciality drink for $5 it's eye popping with dark red colors mixed amongst a yellowish orange. The drink consists of orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beet. Everything tasted great and was served in large portions. Water was served out of a glass jar and the food didn't make me feel bloated afterwards just full. I can't wait to return and try some of their avacado toast, pumpkin pancakes or chia pudding. read more

Best spot for a breakfast or brunch date. My husband loves the omelettes and I love everything else!

The wife and I had lunch there. The food was good. I had the veggie omelette and she had the peaches and cream French toast. We enjoyed it very much. The service was good. However, the place is so noisy that sitting across from each other at a table you have to shout just to hear each other. The place really need to do something about all the noise, and it's really a good enough reason not to go back to be honest read more

This place is extremely trendy and busy. We decided the eggs Benedict sounded good...I had the smoked salmon with onions and another had the ham and eggs Benedict. She said it tasted like lunch meat...I thought it was ok...but 30 bucks for it was a bit much. I would go back but I would hope there is something less expensive on the menu. read more

I went near closing time and when we walked in I could just see the looks on the people working in the back kitchen. They were not happy to have more business and took their time seating us . Probably hoping we would walk away first . We got sat at a dirty table . If they cleaned it they did a terrible job . The waitress was nice and they got the food out fast , but I'm sure only because they were closing in 25 minutes and wanted us to hurry and leave . Then I got tried w my favorite side I always get fruit.. couldn't tell if the watermelon was a tomato or if the blueberries were grapes or vice versa . If I had a bigger piece of pineapple I could probably knock someone out it was so hard and had a white tint which I've never seen before . read more

Although I haven't been to first watching a while they have an interesting menu and the food is quite good.

This has always been my favorite First Watch for the past 3 years - the people from the Managers down through all the staff are interactive, seem happy to be there and they hustle! Quietly, but they're on it. Through the past 7 months I've seen them be nimble in the ever changing COVID environment and rules - Thank you! Adding lots of delivery options. (You can eat in or out with well spaced seating) The menu is still the best for breakfast and lunch with lots of creative and well executed choices - again, thank you! There's traditional, healthy steel cut oatmeal and gluten free, omelets, frittatas, avocado toast and THREE different skillet hash choices. In brief, check out the menu online and go see Matty and Kevin and all the crew in Brooksville and dig in! (PS - even the coffee is good) read more

Not a big fun. First off I hate "big box" restaurants and that's what it felt like. Just not my thing. Food was decent I am just more of a small business place. read more

This place is really hip looking and has such good, mostly healthy food. The host and waitstaff (I met Hannah and Mario, who told me a bit about the business and food selections), were very kind even though I came in right at closing. I got a chicken avocado salad to dine in (probably the best low-carb option unless you like pork or shellfish), and a fresh juice to go, called summer blush. I was given a couple of good sized samples of the other kinds of juices, very good and the one with turmeric had a nice bite. If you sign up online, you can get specials such as a free birthday entree (which I'm doing now). Pay is at the front register. Very friendly and tasty and I will be back. read more

The ambiance and server were great. The food however was severely lacking and we will not be returning. We ordered the Belgian waffle and the works omelette. The waffle we had to send back due to arriving cold, the second waffle was limp and not full appearing as the first was. The omelette was lacking with filling, certainly nothing near the photo on their website, and the potatoes were cold. Such a shame the food wasn't good as the server was wonderful and ambiance pleasant. read more

Just experienced the WOW factor at First Watch. Visited for breakfast with Mom and dad and was amazed how delicious the food was! Not your ordinary breakfast joint. Super fresh bread, fruits and coffee. Parents ordered Classic eggs, potatoes- prepared to perfection... love the "crust" on the potatoes, bacon was crispy - I like that. I ordered the Egg Benedict with smoked salmon on ciabatta crusted bread....it was "off the chart" the best ever and I travel from CA to NY. A absolute must. Included a little side salad / who would ever think about ordering this with a little salad. Makes sense to me... fresh greens with a light dressing... perfecto. Now let's change gears....service... Stella from start to finish. Our server was excellent. Blown away when Chef Al came out and asked how everything was prepared.. don't get that anywhere- even at Burns steakhouse! Kitchen staff is visible from dining area so you can see the action like Carrabbas! Only open for breakfast, Brunch and Lunch so get a early start. Bon Appetit! 10/26/2018: Another seasonal favorite Butternut Squash Soup "Off the Chart" delicious Must try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Came here on a friends recommendation with said friend. My first impression and concern was that although I can see employees wearing masks, they were all wearing them incorrectly. When I say all, I literally mean all. However, this was literally the only thing that I had an issue with. The staff was extremely courteous and mindful. The food was great, and they kept comfortable distances between tables. Once it becomes safer, I will definitely be returning again! read more
