    Bacado with Fresh, Seasonal Fruit - a great classic breakfast if you like bacon and avocado
    Regina W.

    This is easily one of my favorite First Watch locations primarily because of he servers. I have a couple favorites here that are just consistently top notch. Friendly, fast, and just always a pleasure to have around. With that being said, I love when seasonal items come around like the Tangerine dream - refreshing and healthy. And the entrees are usually pretty good as well. It's like a fun birthday gift in a form of a menu, bi then you have to order and pay for it. First Watch does provide you with a free entree with a purchase of another for your birthday! I just love a lot of these various dishes because it tastes fresh and it's consistently delicious. Some of the ones I tend to repeat are: The Traditional, Elevated Egg Sandwich, Farm-stand breakfast tacos, Lemon Ricotta pancakes, and Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl. It goes on. I never get tired of eating here. Prices are fair and portion is usually great! So I'll see you back again soon for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.

    French Toast
    Richard P.

    Came here for a quick breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the power bowl was. It had some of the best quinoa and breakfast sausage with sautéed mushrooms. I've had from a breakfast spot, and the two eggs on top were perfectly over medium. The French toast was good as well and the best part was that they gave warm syrup for us to drizzle over the French toast! The service was very attentive and the employees working there were very friendly. Would definitely visit again.

    I usually order the pesto quinoa bowl once a month & I think the ratio of quinoa to chicken has been getting way worse. I forgot to take a picture before I ate all the chicken but I swear it's like 85% quinoa. The millionaire bacon is still very good.

    It's a blueberry

    Spectacular it's exquisite every fine attribute of the food and place has pleased me the food also makes me feel warm not like other food but it is simply pleasing

    Had breakfast at First Watch and left disappointed. The food was good, but the service was terrible. Our server barely checked on us, and I had to get up and pour my own coffee from the front while the rest of my table was served. Good food can't make up for bad service -- won't be rushing back.

    Chile chorizo omelette
    Kim S.

    This place is very cute inside! Our service was outstanding! Our server was extremely thoughtful quick and kind. She brought togo coffee cups and extra cholula. I got the seasonal prosciutto toast and it was great! Nice sturdy but not hard bread for the toast was able to hold the massive mound of egg prosciutto and fresh parm! Hubby got the chorizo omelet and really liked it. Everyone commented how good the side of fruit was! Not a melon in sight pineapple, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, and green grapes! We would definitely go back!

    Just had breakfast at my favorite restaurant. I had the salmon Benedict. It was so good and the service was excellent. I would recommend to anyone to eat breakfast or lunch here.

    Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! I've been to a couple other first watch locations it was my first time at this one and it's by far my favorite so far. The restaurant layout is very open and not crowded at all even though the tables were filled. Our server was great, she was very sweet and attentive. My boyfriend and I got the same thing to eat and we will definitely be back the tomato basil soup was super flavorful and delicious to dip our sandwiches into! Thank you for a great lunch!

    Great food, great service, the new GM Raegan is amazing!! Very friendly and personable!! Friendly, relaxing atmosphere

    Belgian Waffle, scrambled eggs, Turkey Sausage Tri-Fecta
    Marci L.

    First of all we love First Watch! But this location is our FAVORITE! The atmosphere is so clean and bright! They are always busy but put your name on their list through their app and you will get seated shortly after you arrive! Everyone is ALWAYS smiling! Always friendly! Today our server was Brianna! She had an awesome bounce to her step and a contagious beautiful smile! I ordered an egg white omelette with cheddar and Colby cheese, spinach and onion. A side of fruit, and sourdough toast! The omelette was PHENOMENAL! I didn't need to add seasoning! Perfectly made and just delicious! My partner ordered the trifecta!! Two eggs any style, choice of meat and a choice of waffle or pancakes. He ordered the waffles! He was very satisfied and stated that his food was delicious! The waffle was fluffy and airy, eggs were scrambled the way that he requested "soft" and the turkey sausage was tasty! We also ordered the Million Dollar Bacon which is made to perfection! Seasoned deliciously with pepper and maple syrup! You must try this location! Kudos to their entire staff! We thank you so much for making our biweekly dining SPECTACULAR!

    Does First watch in Chandler take reservations?

    No, I don't believe they do and I don't think you actually need them if you don't go during the major rush hours.

    Does First Watch near Sun Lakes have outside seating area? We just want coffee and a place for a short chat spot. Thanks for a reply..

    Yes

You really can't go wrong here. Service was awesome--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We also loved the outdoor seating, which made for a really nice, relaxed vibe.

    I had high hopes for Hash Kitchen, but this was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had…read morein a long time. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests. There was a group of servers standing around chatting, and no one acknowledged us for several minutes. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes before a server came over just to offer water and ask about drinks. We placed our drink order, and while the coffee came in a carafe, it wasn't even hot. The rest of the drinks trickled out later. Then it was another 20+ minutes before the server came back to take our food order. We ordered two simple build-your-own breakfasts and an Ultimate Grilled Cheese (no fries), plus two Cobb salads to go. Nothing complicated--yet the food took a long time to come out. During that entire wait, our server never checked on us once. No updates, no refills, nothing. When the food finally arrived, we ate, and again--no check-in, no "how is everything," no refill offers. Eventually, she dropped the check off without a word. We had to remind her about the two Cobb salads we ordered to go. She said they'd be right out, and a couple minutes later they showed up with a revised bill. Before leaving, we checked the salads--and that was the final straw. For $18, they were basically side salads. No cheese, no grilled chicken, no avocado, no croutons, no green onions, and not even any hard boiled eggs--just iceberg lettuce, a few tomatoes, bacon, and ranch dressing. Completely unacceptable for what's supposed to be a Cobb salad. We waited at the table for about 5 minutes for someone to come back--no one did. So we went up front and stood there another 5 minutes while multiple staff members ignored us, continuing their closing routines. Not a single person asked if we needed help, and our server was nowhere to be found. At that point, we left the salads behind, paid for the rest of the meal, and walked out. Terrible service from start to finish, and the food quality didn't make up for it. We won't be back.

If all avocado toasts were like this, I don't know why anyone would choose something else! The sourdough bread was lightly toasted but not so stiff that it scraped up my mouth.

Each time she walked away from the line she never said be right with you or when she returned said thanks for waiting. I had the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was watery and then they add their fresh sausage to it a there was no gravy to enjoy. The potatoes were good. My daughter loved her waffle and got the potatoes, bacon and eggs as well. The one thing we noticed is that we got the food quickly, but besides the potatoes the food was lukewarm. That was disappointing. Even the coffee was not hot. I had to also remind them for my orange juice after I get my food. Probably won't be back .

To accommodate for the warmer months, they have lots of shade over the outdoor seating and some fans to help try to keep it as cool as possible. I ordered the brown sugar coconut latte and it was sooooooo good. I would say it was my ideal cup of coffee! Service was not terrible, but wasn't notable. Be sure to stick around inside to get your coffee. They only bring your order to you if it's a pastry (at least that's what it seemed). It was pretty busy inside when my friend and I went, so we chose some chairs outside. They gave her a number for her pastry and brought it out, but we had to go up to the counter to find our drinks after waiting several minutes and wondering. That all would have been great info to know when ordering initially. Definitely will be returning! Side note: If you're familiar with downtown Chandler, this won't come as a surprise, but since I'm not a Chandler-regular, I was a little surprised at the lack of parking aside from parallel parking just in front of the actual coffee shop.

They have a larger patio space outdoors, which I asked and discovered they are dog friendly so happy to find another venue we can bring the girls to. The patio was still shaded when we left about noon so it's a good spot for pups. Two of our group was already seated when we arrived so we joined them upon arrival. Lisa, our server, immediately came over for drink orders and confirm we were still waiting for others to join. Lisa, was so patient and friendly while the group gathered and decided what to order. I asked for a glass of O.J. which was sans pulp for those who don't like it in their O.J. I prefer some to jazz it up but it was a good glass of juice. They have a good sized menu with both breakfast and lunch offerings, and it took a bit to decide on what we were eating. I decided on the Corned Beef Hash with two eggs over-medium and a pancake. I asked for it on a separate plate and she said no worries, that's how it is served. The hash was sooo good! Cooked to a crispy crust and so flavorful and not salty at all, which I loved because sometimes hash can be salty. It also came with hash browns, which were cooked perfectly and not greasy in the least. I asked for my eggs over-medium and they too were cooked to perfection. It came with one pancake (I chose this in place of toast) and it was good size cake, with a nice malty flavor. It's sprinkled lightly with powder sugar and a dispense of warm syrup was provided as well. Really good breakfast! Wife went with the 2 egg breakfast with bacon and sourdough toast. They serve a wonderful homemade blackberry jam with the toast, which was really good and jammy. She also had her eggs done the same way as me and they were cooked to perfection. The bacon was perfect and she commented about the hash browns being cooked to a crunchy outer and tender on the inside.

Always hoping a local recommendation turns out great. *Service: the service was fair. Our waitress spent most of the time sitting in the booth across from us on her phone and checked in occasionally. A few times we had to ask for things we needed. Nothing rude, just not especially attentive or engaged. Definitely didn't feel like her #1 priority. *Food: I ordered the tuna *melt*. It was alright, but nothing to write home about. The tuna itself was relatively cold (should have been warm on a melt) and lacked flavor, the cheese wasn't melted (it's a "melt", right?), and the bread was good. I dipped and drenched in salt, pepper, ranch and hot sauce to give it some flavor. The fries were good, hot and tasty. Overall, it felt like a mid-level café sandwich made by a basic "cook", not a well curated restaurant sandwich. My lunch buddy ordered a smothered omelette that looked great, and he said it was very good, so that was good. *Ambiance: the atmosphere was decent. Very basic, a bit cold feeling, café-like, casual, and reasonably comfortable. Nothing stood out strongly other than it seemed pretty clean and bright. *Value: my tuna melt and fries, with no drink, was $16. Not great, not terrible. It felt like an $8-$10 sandwich max for what I got, not a standout value. I posted a picture of their specials board so you can get a feel for the value. *Overall: everything here was fair, food, service, and ambiance while value was not great. Nothing bad, nothing memorable. A three-star experience for me. I wouldn't rush back, but wouldn't avoid it if I was in the area and others wanted to go. *Update: I have a strong reputation for detailed, honest, and trustworthy reviews. What we experienced is accurately and honestly captured in this review. There were no misunderstandings, our experience is captured exactly as reviewed.
