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

Great breakfast spot in charleston! Awesome menu options, good atmosphere, and the food is delicious! Stays busy, so expect a wait, but certainly worth it. 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

Fantastic breakfast place. I had the Eggs Benedict which was very good. The prices are good and the location is close to where we stayed. Highly recommend it. read more

Surprisingly impressed with our breakfast here. After a long wait, we felt that maybe the place had been overhyped. I ordered the fruit crepes and M got the veggie hash. Both were good. Not the best ever, but definitely better than a takeout breakfast from a fast food place (which seems to be the only other option in town). read more

Even though most of the stuff is canned or pre-packaged in some form, it is still pretty good. We haven't been back, though, ever since they changed their potatoes to a less appetizing kind. Their potatoes were the sole reason my wife loved to eat there. read more

Service was ok at best, don't bring me my bill before I am done. Also, poached eggs are supposed have a runny yolk. Hollandaise should also have some flavor. When you leave most of your food on the plate a decent, not even good server will ask if there was a problem, not here, they ask if they can take your plate. read more

Easily my favorite breakfast place. I eat there just about every day before going to work. The menu options range from hardy to healthy, and there is something for just about everyone on the menu. The serve staff is very friendly and helpful. One word of warning: if you go on a Saturday or Sunday morning, expect to wait a little while for a table. The place stays packed on the weekends. read more

The foods always great here.. just wish you served beer!

I have been here a few times and have not been disappointed. I love the burrito Vera Cruz. They must put crack in the sauce. The Greek omelette is delicious, but I have started making it at home. A little pricey for Charleston, but the town needs more places like this. Service is hit-or-miss. read more

Great healthy breakfast selection. Good if you don't want something artery-clogging. Convenient to downtown businesses.

Delicious. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful. We ordered the coconut chia and granola bowl with fruit and almond butter toast with sea salt (wow) and chicken pesto quinoa bowl (husband didn't even offer to share). The kale juice was perfect, and the coffee was good too. Lovely experience. read more

Love it. Food is always fresh and tasty. Service is friendly, even when it's busy. I like that the menu is changed occasionally. Keeps it interesting. And I really miss it since I've moved to Huntington. PLEASE open one in Huntington. read more

Def a breakfast place for all egg eaters. It doesn't really have anything that spectacular but you can't beat the quality of food. I'll always return.. and sometimes they have cute servers. It helps my appetite when I look at a beauty, rather than a beast. #GuyCode read more

Very nice breakfasts and another place to go early. Service really depends upon your waitress!

My chicken palermo was so good!!!! I would definitely get it again. They put just enough on there so it wasn't falling apart. Fresh juice was a plus. The only thing I would improve on would be the seating, it reminds me of cafeteria style (but that's being nit picky) the food was great and the service was fantastic. read more

Stopped in before hitting the road this morning. I had the breakfast tacos. Very nice!

Really great breakfast lot's of creative chooses not just your standard type breakfasts. Place is very clean; service is excellent and food orders come out quickly. Will definitely go back when in area. read more

Breakfast was great! I had the Belgium waffle with fruit compote with turkey sausage. My husband has the fruit crepes that he really liked. Another member of our family had the Parmesan hash. The place is contemporary, lively and the wait staff was great. I will return when back in Charleston. read more

Havent been to a first watch since college. Came with my parents and ordered 3 different things. I'm not a fatty but I thought the portions were poor for the price paid. The flavor was nothing to write home about. Really pretty bland and not worth the cover charge. I would give it 2 stars but didn't want to b mean. read more

We're from out of town and stumbled upon this lovely restaurant! Great food and a great clean atmosphere. We would definitely come back next time we visit! read more

Visited on a busy Saturday morning. We were seated quickly and food was on the table in less than 10 minutes. It may have been the best breakfast I've had. You can't go wrong with the avocado express omelette. Everything was very tasty. read more

The food is always great here. A decent variety in the menu and some healthy options. A little pricey and the wait can be bad in the weekends, but overall we really like it! read more

I was up in Charleston for my daughters gymnastics competition. Stopped in here for breakfast as I read some good reviews. I had the egg bowl with potato's, avocado, onions and tomatoes. It was good but you can't really ask to take anything out. I also ordered pancakes - in which I didn't eat. The million dollar bacon was good!! read more

On my recent visit to First Watch I had a great breakfast. It was nicely prepared and the manager made sure everything was great! Thank you Eleni K.!!! read more

Stopped in for brunch on a Sunday as we were passing through town. Waited about 20 minutes at noontime; not bad. Felt a little underdressed compared to the usual crowd! Large menu with lots of variety. Gluten free menu available - always a plus. Bright, clean restaurant; fast and friendly service from our waitress Hannah. Food was quick, attractive, and delicious. Omelets were fluffy (my only complaint: the avocado in my Bacado was VERY hard), potatoes delicious. Toast and English muffins were yummy. Fresh fruit crepes were great. Tea was freshly brewed. Nice breakfast stop. read more

You pay a little more for the food, but the quality of items cover the costs.

Creative and tasty breakfast, had some good meals there. They lose a star though because they consistently serve unripe Avocado. Please explain to your chef it must be soft or it ain't ready to serve. Otherwise, this place deserves the good reviews. read more

In town visiting family for Christmas; decided to try this place out. DELICIOUS. I had the Chicken Palermo sandwich and clam chowder. The sandwich was a great combination of flavors and the clam chowder....best I've found outside of Boston. Husband had an omelet that he raved over as well. We will be back on our next visit! read more

First Watch has a great selection of healthy and rich brunch options. The service is fast and the staff are friendly.

It's hard to go wrong with First Watch. As usual, I went with the power wrap today, which seemed like an even better decision than usual in light of the calorie information that now appears on the menu. read more

Great place, great food, great service, great atmosphere. Go early before traffic builds in downtown. Did I mention this place is great!!!!!!!! read more

Try the pesto chicken quinoa power bowl!! Great service, I came in with a volleyball team and the staff was very accommodating!

Loved our waitress w/cat ears on Halloween morning!! Her suggestions were spot on! We had green kale drink with Fig,Prosciutto&Ricotta toast!! So many healthy and delicious choices in this downtown Charleston resturant! Very happy customer and can't wait to try more selections. read more

I will open with it gets crowded. It gets crowded because it is yummy. Brunch times on weekends are going to result in a short wait. It will be worth it. Other times of the week are no problem. I will confess to having only had breakfast type food, but my Octogenarian mother loves their salads. Portions are large and the coffee is terrific. Servers are pretty much the hipsters you would expect, but efficient & pleasant. read more

I love this place but hardly ever get over there. Had a stressful appointment downtown with my teenage daughter so took her there prior. The wait staff is always so kind, the meal was good, the atmosphere is nice and positive and helped our moods tremendously. Any place that can even make a 16 year old girl calm down and relax and enjoy a delicious breakfast is tops. read more

I love to go there for breakfast -I love Oatmeal and their oatmeal is to die for my granddaughter loves their chocolate chip pancakes

You can't go wrong at First Watch. Their pancakes, muffins, and fruit crepes are fantastic sweet options, their savory omelettes and sandwiches just as good. As a vegetarian, I have a hard time choosing what I want because the selection is so great, which is rarely a problem I have while eating out. Personally, I love the Greek Fetish omelette. Their potatoes are also hard to beat read more

No matter what I order, I am never disappointed. The perfect breakfast or lunch spot! Great food at great prices.

One of the better breakfast places in West Virginia. Overall very healthy food and a great selection of fresh ingredients. Atmosphere could be better very plain decorations. Nice portions. Free parking on the weekends in the lot across the street which is great in downtown Charleston. Also a very good lunch place but I suggest to call in an order and pick up. It can get pretty busy. read more
