If you are not sure what to order, get the BLTE. It's their best item. The tomato bisque soup is a good pairing with the BLTE.

No better place for breakfast/brunch/dinner in town! The food is healthy and delicious, the combinations are really great, and the staff is always cordial and on top of service. Get there ahead of time on weekends, because there's always a wait - and that's just because it's so good. I have heard there is an online (maybe an app?) way to make your reservation before you arrive. read more

Fantastic breakfast spot, even at lunch! Great service and delicious fresh food! Old favorites and new flavors. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, West Virginia

One of the best brunch spots in Charleston. Always fresh. Bacado is one of my favorites. Husband gets the chickichanga. Potatoes are good some times they are undercooked. Elevated egg sandwhich is a good choice. Avacado toast is one of my favorites and my daughter likes the superfood bowl. I could eat here daily. Everything is fresh. Slow service on busy days, especially Sunday. One of my favorites places to eat. read more

Excellent fresh food and friendly wait staff. I was in town on business and ate there for breakfast every morning three mornings straight. The coffee is outstanding as well. Recommend the Tri-athlete if you're health conscious. read more

We are visiting from out of town and found this gem on yellow ones toasters fantastic in the traditional breakfast just wish they had regular toast will would visit again read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, West Virginia

I love this place. The food is so fresh. I had the elevation egg sandwich. Delious!!!!! They also provide fresh juices.

Consistently great quality, service and menu. The turkey sausage gravy is probably the best breakfast you'll have anywhere.

This is a great place to go with friends after church on Sundays. They have great brunch face and plenty of vegetarian options. Sometimes there is a wait but never long. The staff is always friendly and I would give the service good marks. I enjoy their eclectic menu. You can always find new and exciting things on their daily specials board. I have had everything from a quinoa bowl with hardy vegetables to a buffalo burger. Everything is always freshly prepared and made to a high standard. I don't have a negative thing to say. The food is always at a reasonable price and well made. It's a favorite. read more

Wow ... what an awesome find. Was looking for a decent brunch after a nice weekend in Charleston before we left for home. We found it! Excellent food with lots of options. Staff was very friendly and had excellent service. They get busy but the staff was very efficient in making the wait minimal. read more

I always enjoy my meals here. The menu is unique and everything is fresh and delicious. It's my favorite place to eat for breakfast. Plus it's clean!! read more

Great food and service. Been here twice and got the same thing the Chickichanga. And my bf got the Benedict sandwich and that too was good as well. I'd definitely go back again! read more

I love it! This place is fresh and delicious! The carrot juice has ginger and other yummy stuff so it's not straight carrots which I like. The eggs benedict is delicious and greens on the side are dressed lightly with some sort of vinegrette. The only downside was that my plate bottom wasn't entirely flat and I was chasing my food a little. But the pumpkin pancakes are yummy. Definitely returning if I find myself in Charleston again! read more

The place was packed for good reason. The staff is extremely nice and pleasant. The food was delicious, service was great. The price for the breakfast was definitely fair. A great place to enjoy on one's own or with family/friends. read more

Very impressive breakfast/lunch place that we located while on vacation preparing to section hike the Appalachian trail. The juice was fresh, the coffee served with a variety of creamer and the menu was perfect, serving both lunch and breakfast. Ample choices, creative specials, but not 6 pages long. I had the Croque Madam, which was delicious with a cheese sauce...a total knife and fork sandwich and I enjoyed every bite. My dining partners had a Mexican burrito thing and a classic breakfast and everyone was equally impressed. Found easy street parking and our service was friendly and fast. What a great find! read more

Enjoyed this place in palm beach. Here not so much. Felt like a place with no soul. Server was polite but dry. Pretty sure they sat 2 groups ahead of me for reasons known only to god. When I asked about it, I got a table stat. Food is good as always. Maybe off day?? read more

Went for lunch and the food was great. Super fresh and tasty. Took my grandmother who can be a bit finicky and she loved it. The squash soup was great as was the chicken salad sandwich. I will definitely go back next time I'm in town. read more

This place is awesome. Did not want to pay for the buffet at Marriott. Not because I'm cheap - but because it didn't look that appealing. Plus no potatoes on the buffet. I turned to Yelp for help and was glad I did. My plate looked exactly like the picture on this app. The fried potatoes were beyond my expectations! Just a five minute walk from hotel (maybe a little longer - I walk fast)! You will not be disappointed. Love Kevin read more

Consistent and fresh, we love this place for Sunday brunch (be prepared to wait 15-20 min for a table during the weekend). Probably the best food in Charleston, but that's not hard to do! read more

I think that First Watch can tend to be a little overrated in our area here, but they do make a hell of a ham & gruyere melt that I love dearly read more

Nice place for Sunday breakfast. Very clean and fresh appearance. Very good coffee served in your own carafe so you're never without. Unique menu offers some very different choices from the norm. Had the chickichimi and the Floridian french toast. Both were very nice and served with fresh fruit. I'd recommend tasting the potatoes before salting them as mine were seasoned well enough to start. I was surprised at the price of the coffee at the end. IMHO, 2.29 a person is quite steep. Will return as the food was a refreshing change. Return visit and experienced a very attentive waitress. Had the Acupulco express omelet and enjoyed it. Coffee is still steep ;) read more

This is a great establishment with amazing service and even better food. Get anything over hash. The food comes out lightning fast with great precision. I have had a lot of good eggs and hash but this one tops them all. Also, some of the best sweet tea I've had. Given the option I'd buy it by the gallon. This is the place to come, especially after church on Sunday. If you can't handle waiting in line for a meal at First Watch then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's worth it. read more

First Watch is my favorite place to eat. It has a great atmosphere, the servers are all nice and friendly and the food is scrumptious! Their Rubens are the best ever and oh my! their carrot cake pancakes are awesome!! Love this place! read more

This was one of my favorite breakfast places. Seriously. I am a world traveller for business, and this was one of my favorites. Until last week. I came in by myself so I asked to sit at their "bar" (they don't serve alchohol so...). I sat there for thirty minutes.NO ONE EVER NOTICED ME! Servers and cooks came in and out of the area--no one ever glanced my way. I had menus in front of me, but was never offerred water, coffee, NOTHING! I finally grabbed a clue and left--the front greeter/cashier didn't notice me either! The older guy who normally is there was off and the babies he left in charge were way too busy talking to each other. Wake up and smell the coffee guys. The food is GOOD--but not THAT good! read more

Excellent food and service. Very happy with our breakfast and coffee. Looking forward in going again.

Ok so first off we are from a different state but we were in town for an event and I now want to go back just for this places breakfast! I had a party of four, the wait was about 20 minutes but it WAS SO WORTH IT. Hands down the best breakfast I have ever had!!! read more

Cute place with a creative menu and ok coffee. My poached eggs came hard boiled but I may have just ordered the wrong thing. My companion was happy with her meal. read more

The only reason for not giving 5 stars was due to the wait time; however, the wait was worth it as the food was great! We are from out of town and assume the First Watch is a local favorite. I would highly recommend eating here! read more

Fabulously friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Delicious food & coffee! Kid friendly too. I love the fact that they offer healthy options (fruit & veggie smoothies, etc); but also have traditional eggs, meats, & pancakes/waffles! The coffee is excellent, and they bring you your carafe to the table. Definitely recommend this place if you're ever near downtown Charleston. read more

I did like First Watch until the owner, manager, and two servers egged a gentleman's car and verbally assaulted the man for parking in the parking lot. Disgraceful! Wouldn't it have been practical to call a tow service rather than commence in the destruction of property and overall poor behavior? Not an example of behavior that I want to be set for our next generation. I won't be eating there anymore. It's a shame. read more

Great place! Felt very traditionally American :) We were passing through on the way from DC to Nashville and stopped in here for breakfast based on yelp reviews so passing it on! Amazing food!! Coffee was good and we had the homemade granola with fruit and yoghurt (good granola is my weakness and this was so good) and we shared some blueberry multi grain pancakes too. Left really full and satisfied!! Service was very fast and friendly. Highly recommend :) read more

After hearing my co workers rave about this place, I finally decided to give it a go. I got the "Ragin' Cajun" omelette with fried potatoes (home fries as I call it). The Ragin' Cajun is a 3 egg omelette with cajun seasoned chicken, roasted mushrooms, and caramelized onions, served with a "Santa Fe Sauce" on the side. I was a little suspicious of this "Santa Fe Sauce" with a supposed cajun omelette.. But let me tell you, it was FANTASTIC. Nice creaminess and general spicy flavor that was a great accompaniment. Its kind of a nondescript spicy mayo based sauce. It lends big flavor to the omelette without ruining the cajun moniker. The caramelized onions and roasted mushrooms were absolutely phenomenal in this omelette. The chicken was a little dry, but well spiced and flavorful. The egg was great! No burnt spots on it at all. I absolutely hate sitting down to an omelette at Bob Evan's or other big name spots and finding all kinds of that nasty brown crunchiness. One of the biggest reasons I go to Bob Evan's for breakfast is home fries. I absolutely love them. Well, First Watch, you BLEW IT OUT of the park on these. Big chunks of potato, delicious caramel-y onions, and fantastic seasoning make them the best home fries I've ever had. The english muffins were great as well. Perfectly toasted. Not dry or chewy. I was dismayed to find out they were GFC branded, but delicious none the less. The restaurant itself is quite small, but well lit and very well decorated. It was packed to the gills when I got there but still didn't have to wait for a table. Service was fantastic. Quick service. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. All in all, I will definitely make a return trip. read more

Having read yelp's review guidelines, I understand that addressing matters considered core to the consumer's experience is acceptable. Although I had only purchased a single meal here (pricey but digestably satisfactory), the management's lack of civility in handling a parking space issue will have made it my last one. read more

We love First Watch! We have been to the First Watch restaurants in Sarasota, Florida and Charleston, West Virginia. They are never disappointing. Last weekend we were at the Charleston location and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast as we have come to expect at any First Watch. My wife loves pumpkin pancakes and she was happy to find they were still on the Charleston location menu. I tried a pancake feature entree made with quinoa and they were delicious. Would recommend First Watch to everyone looking for a great breakfast to start your day!! read more

When visiting West Virginia for the first time, I confess that my Malibu-area sensibilities braced for the worst. But First Watch was a breath of fresh air--enough to visit twice. Coffee is an expectation--mugs are at each table, and they leave a carafe. The menu is varied with savory and healthy options. Egg white substitutes or other healthy options are welcomed. It tasted fresh and made us all want to go again--which we did. The service was fairly quick, even as it was crowded. Definitely recommended. read more

Great for breakfast or lunch. Very flavorful food and the orange juice tastes fresh. We went there two days in a row for lunch. Good price too. read more

It's everything you expected it to be. Without a doubt the best restaurant in town. 'No instant grits here. 'Very family driven, the waitresses hustle, open early, and immaculately clean. read more

Fabulous breakfast! Multigrain blueberry pancakes were delicious! Lots of traditional fare and healthy options too! They also have fresh juice blends- kale tonic was great! Loved the atmosphere and the staff was excellent. read more

I'm gone there about two or three times and the food is pretty good. They have some very unique pancakes an option. However, I definitely miss Denny's and other diners in New Jersey. read more

This place is awesome! I had the Parma Hash and it was excellent. It was two eggs over a bed of cheesy potatoes with Italian Sausage & mushrooms and other goodies. They cooked my eggs over medium just like I ordered. I was by myself and they gave me my own carafe of coffee to enjoy. The staff was super nice! And there is a lot across the street you can park in. read more
