We found this place while on vacation, it was SO GOOD that we went back twice. In our group of 6 we tried multiple dishes and every single dish was delicious. read more

Good food and always seem to get good customer service. And how can you go wrong with million dollar bacon!

Awesome service! Wait staff is very friendly and exceptional. Food is fantastic. We've been to both Knoxville and Chattanooga locations and have been impressed by both. read more

This has become one of my favorite breakfast places in Chattanooga! We've come here 3 times and the service is great and the food is amazing! I like to order the trifecta, which had 2 eggs, bacon, and a your choice of pancakes and waffles. I order my eggs over easy, with crispy bacon, a side of toast, and I tried the banana pancakes today. Everything tasted amazing and the coffee here is also good. The portion of the food is also great and it fills you up. My family and I love coming here and can't wait to come back. Thank you for the great service and the consistent great food you provide! I would recommend this place to all my family and friends! read more

Amazing food, very delicious and great service. My favorite breakfast option is the avocado toast!

Every experience we've had with First Watch has been great. The food is delicious and helped me expand what I order. Not always great having to wait but it's worth it. read more

This was by far the best brunch spot we have been to in Chatt. It is a chain, but it is so good. Be sure to call ahead, this place is always busy. read more

I have never had a bad experience here. The only thing I could say even somewhat bad about this place is that I wish they had a bigger location and outdoor seating, because Chattanooga loves this place! It seems to always be slammed and is so hard to get into for breakfast on the weekends. Almost every time we have gone, it has been at least a 2 hr wait. The food is SO fresh and always incredible. They have a unique menu compared to most breakfast spots, and it's nice to see a variety for breakfast for a change. I appreciate so much that there are dairy free options for creamer in my coffee. My last visit I had coconut, and this visit I tried oat milk since they were out. It was delicious! The seasoned potatoes are a fantastic option for a side, and the berry compote on the French toast is something you will crave for weeks. read more

I have been going to this place for a while, since it was the Egg and I. I love how fresh the food is and the service is impeccable. They know us by name and always take time to chat, see who everyone is doing. If they we're open later I would go here more often, as I usually have breakfast food cravings at night but we still try to go often. This is my daughters favorite place and we go here every year for her birthday. I have brought out of towners and family here and eveyone agrees, its a great healthy place to eat! read more

This place is great all around. The staff waits for your entry and greets you as you enter. There is zero wait time. Once you are seated the waitress was prompt in taking drink orders, hint: coffee is expensive here. I went with the traditional Diet Coke. Before you blast it try it. The food was shortly delivered and tasted fantastic. I got the huge banana crunch granola pancakes. Suggestion: Order a single pancake unless you have other party guests and can share your plate with them. It was made even better with the hot syrup that was delivered with it. Overall this place is the new style of heathly eating. Everything is rich in whole grains. Have a quinoa salad, or egg whites. Whatever you choose, you can't go wrong. read more

Really great place for brunch and friendly service I highly recommend them for brunch on Sunday or Mother's Day, any occasion

Had the Short Ribs special, it was more like loaded potatoes. The meat was more like a sprinkle and the mushroom was probably two small button varieties. The coffee somehow tastes different than a few months back, tasted diluted but extra acidic. Nothing stood out, portion was small and bland tasting. Will not return ever again. read more

Very good, one of my moms and my go-to break spots. The potatoes and watermelon wake up are my personal favorites.

I've been to several locations of First Watch (Lebanon, TN; Atlanta, GA; Chattanooga, TN) and this location was pretty subpar compared. The whole experience was just very dull. My potatoes were hard and overcooked and dry (and strangely not very seasoned. Do people in Chattanooga not like seasonings?) and the English muffin under my eggs Benedict was over-toasted. The Sunrise Sunset juice was good, but the coffee was pretty mild and uneventful. I won't return to this location, especially since I've had fantastic experiences at First Watch in other areas; I know what they CAN be. This is not it. read more

First Watch - One of the varieties of eggs Benedict. I think it was smoked salmon. Looks pretty, but it's mediocre at best. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

First Watch can get extremely busy, but it's usually worth the wait. I like that they have healthy options, and my favorites are the Tri-Athlete, the Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl, and the A.M Superfood Bowl. read more

Nice food and atmosphere. Service is good considering the staff shortage most restaurants are facing. Best to make reservations ahead of time. read more

First Watch was an unexpectedly good breakfast. It was nice to be greeted with smiles and "good morning"s as soon as we walked in the door. I had the meal with eggs, waffle, and bacon. Have to say this is the only time my" over-medium well" eggs were properly cooked. (see my photo) Watch out for the coffee. You get a whole pot, but at $2.50 per person, it's a bit pricey imo, especially for the average quality and packaged (not fresh) creamer. read more

Excellent food. Fresh squeezed juices. Good service. A little pricey but worth every penny.

Wonderful menu with phenomenal service! Nicely decorated and a great environment. Highly recommend the beet juice blend!

Every time I go my food is fresh and the service is great! This is the best breakfast/brunch place in Chattanooga. read more

Last two experiences have not been good. Recently the waitstaff seems to be different. Waiter/cook brought my family food and had his fingers in my food as he brought it. Waitress did not ask how we liked everything, but did ask if needed anything more. Waitress got my moms order completely wrong, but did offer to remove it from the check... however the cashier did not remove the charge. I asked for poached eggs which were brought to me with completely solid egg yokes. Overall disappointed with the level of attention and care from the front of the house and the back of the house. I honestly could just stay home and probably will. The only thing I'd come back for is the coffee. read more

Large portions. Banana grain waffle huge and delicious, bacon taste like candy( savory and sweet ) will certainly be back ! read more

I have eaten here several times and have been very happy with the experience. However, today my meal just sucked. I ordered the eggs benedict with the ham and some potatoes. Worst eggs benedict I ever tasted. the poached eggs were hard boiled; the hollandaise sauce was cool and tasteless and stingy; the ham they used was sliced thin for a sandwich, not a nice piece of breakfast ham; the potatoes were not hot or done. I ate everything because I was hungry and we didn't have time to return anything. But I was very disappointed. read more

Hands down the best French toast in this neck of the woods. Its delicate but tasty, Sweet and delicious. Since my first visit here i have been hooked and been returning at least once a week. The magic is in the breakfast and brunch selections. You can see the quality of the food in everything.... from the coffee, to the orange juice to the simple toppings such as the butter, you get to experience its elegance and purity of each of the ingredients that construct the dish. I can sit here and focus on just one dish but after trying over 10 things on the menu I can actually say that everything is wonderfully constructed served and deliciously put together. read more

Okay. Wow. What a great little spot for brunch or breakfast. I often find myself here on a Sunday morning, getting a healthy start for the day. Each dish is described in the caption of the photo. The workers are always friendly and helpful. This place does get quite popular due to its good tastes, healthy foods, and smaller atmosphere. They opened up more of them in the surrounding area, which is very nice. They also accommodate pretty well to vegans, but the options are very limited. They're health bowl is vegan and very delicious, and something I crave everyday. Definitely check this place out for a good time. read more

This restaurant is my entire heart. No matter how busy (and, TRUST ME, they get busy) you are always greeted and served with a smile. From breakfast to brunch to lunch, all their food is astounding. Their portions are well worth it and their flavors are spot on. Omletts, chia pudding, pancakes, salads, sandwiches, and anything else you could want is here and ready for your overjoyed consumption. read more

Awesome. Was good and the service good as well. You want go wrong here....I'd eat here again.

I love this restaurant. The food is amazing, and the staff is amazing as well. I love the triathlete breakfast the most, and the morning meditation. Good stuff!!! read more

One of my favorite breakfast/brunch places. I haven't had anything I didn't like. They tons of vegetarian options and they are all delicious! I personally love the veggie eggs Benedict. They also have a veggie skillet that is delicious. First Watch also offers seasonal specials such as a truffles wild mushroom fritada (basically an omelette) and pumpkin spiced pancakes. This place is super popular so expect to wait for a bit on a Sunday morning. However, if you go on a Tuesday you should be able to get a table pretty quick. On my most recent visit, I got the Truffled Wild Mushroom Fritada. Everything was delicious, but it had wayyyyy to much arugula for my taste. Definitely worth a try though. Also I tried their fresh squeezed morning meditation juice and it was good. They definitely have the presentation of that juice down. I saw it and immediately said I wanted it. It's definitely more of a healthy tasting juice if you know what I mean. Anyway, this place is delicious and everyone should give it a try. read more

First Watch - truffled wild mushroom fritada - had a little too much arugula for my taste but it was really good other then that - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I used to go their once a week until their prices drove me away. I was charged $1.60 to add cheese onto one egg for a kids meal. I mean are you kidding me? $1.60 for a half a piece of cheese? This is just ridiculous. Nickle and diming your customers to death is a quick way to lose business. So here I am posting a review on how I will not return because I do not like being nickel and dimed to death. Average meal price for 2 kids meals and 2 adult meals is around $50 - $60 at this place after drinks and a tip. I was alright with paying this when the prices were up front but when they start tapping on a dollar here and a dollar there for stupid little things like chz on the kids meal single egg, then I think its time to look at an alternative option. read more

Good breakfast choices. Juices was ok, not worth the cost though. I had the purple haze. Food was hot and fast. Waitress was attentive and friendly. I had a biscuit and gravy. And a banana crunch pancake. Both were outstanding. Being from the south, gravy was not what I am used to but very very tasty. Almost seemed like a chicken type gravy. I loved it. Been wanting to try this place for a while but they are always jammed. Place is small and parking is sparse. Go early! I highly recommend. read more

This is place worth looking for when the hungries attack. It's a small place that could easily be passed by if you're not looking for it. It's a super clean, nicely but sparsely decorated restaurant. My waitress was a delight and answered my questions about the selections fully and cheerfully. I had "The Works" omelette with a side of "Million Dollar" bacon. Getting excited so...HOLY CRAP it was delicious! The eggs were packed full of sausagey goodness, with perfectly cooked mushrooms onions, and other delights. The bacon was crispy, and sticky, and gooey, and spicy! Substituted some seasoned potatoes in place of greens cause it's potatoes...so come on! Mmmm, thars some good eat'n!!! My only caveat here is be prepared to wait on the delivery of your food, but since it's 100 percent scratch made and farm to table, that will be forgiven. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. read more

Very relaxing atmosphere. I love breakfast and brunch so I was really excited to check this place out. We went on Thursday at 11:30 am and was able to be seated right away. Everything was delivered shortly after we ordered and was great. I'd like to go back and try the hash. read more

This place was booming when we pulled up! They have a private parking lot but it was tough finding a spot on a Sunday morning around 10 am. When we got inside the place was completely packed - luckily I had saved my spot in line earlier with the Yelp app and was shown almost immediately to a table ~ talk about feeling like a superstar. Heh. I loved the Rustic sort of look of the place ~ all of the wooden beams definitely added to the experience. We had a wonderful waitress and experienced excellent customer service. I saw the manager personally apologize to another table for their 20+ minute wait and offered them free drinks. He was incredibly polite and genuine - a trend I noticed with all of the stuff here. I ordered two of the three juices on the menu and they pleasantly surprised my taste buds. They were packed full of flavor, that's for sure. But the flavors, though Bold, we're very well-balanced and absolutely delicious. Thinking about it makes my mouth water. My mom and I couldn't decide what order so we got three dishes instead of two ~ the lemon ricotta pancakes, the market hash, and the avocado toast. And boy were we shocked. Everything was so flavorful and fresh ~ I didn't put any ketchup on my market hash because the goat cheese and spices they used on the potatoes added the perfect amount of flavor. I didn't even put syrup on the pancakes - something I can honestly say I have never done before - they were THAT good! And the avocado toast was clearly made of fresh avocados ~ the good kind that's not over or under ripe. My market hash came with the side of fresh seasonal fruits which were also ripe and extremely delicious - something you can't honestly say for a lot of places who serve fruit on the side. I absolutely adored this place and would give it a hundred Stars if I could. I will be back and I will be bringing many people with me ~ I highly suggest you stop by first watch if you're ever even remotely near one. You will not be disappointed one bit! read more

Just wanted to take a moment to recognize our server Leignann (hope I spelled this right), phenomenal and exceptional service, She was so friendly and on top of everything from refills to making sure we were okay. Give this girl a raise she's a superstar! Our food was also great and well worth the price with their big portions. You can tell that the chefs care about what their making as you can taste each ingredient and they stand out! read more

This is definitely is not $$ kind of place to eat. Kudos to the floor staff for keeping everything running so well given how many customers were there. I did really like the fact we could use Yelp to see how many parties were a head of us in the wait list. We could sit in our car and wait out our time until we were close to being called. I gave a low rating because all of our eggs were very dry... I've only been once and don't really plan on returning so I won't know if this was an anomaly or just how it is. If I spend $60 dollars for three for breakfast in Chattanooga I expect it be incredible. To end on a positive note, I was very happy that my orange juice had some pulp in it... I haven't had OJ that good in a long time. read more

Based on the food alone, First Watch at all locations would get a 4 from me. Rarely have I had a single misstep with my meal, and I love the menu. What brings them to 5 stars for this location is how they handled a minor misstep on my most recent order-to-go. When I got home with our food, we were missing two parts of their Trifecta, which I had ordered for the kids. We still had the huge chocolate chip pancake, so the kids were good, but I called the restaurant to let them know anyway, expecting that I would get a partial refund. They went well above and beyond that and even sent a handwritten note of apology with a gift card to our address. Thank you to the management who made that unnecessary but generous choice. Classy and professional! read more

Decided to try First Watch for lunch based on the good reviews. Service was quick and our waitress was friendly. I ordered The Traditional and my fiancé ordered the Tri-fecta with French toast. I really liked the whole grain artisan toast, it wasn't stale or over toasted. The eggs came out just like I ordered and the ham was delicious. read more

Whats not to like? Everything we have tried here has been exceptional and fresh! Their mixed greens lightly dressed, their lemon ricotta pancakes, avocado toast, market scramble, sandwiches. You can't go wrong with any choice. Very California style food. Lots of healthy options. Been here more times than I can count with the 3 family members. Everyone loves this place. read more

I personally have never gone inside to eat, but I order through Uber eats all the time. I give them 5 stars due to their wonderful food. The fruit is always fresh. When I order a sunrise granola bowl, it's loaded with fresh fruit and granola. When I go to Chick-fil-A, albeit it's like 3$ less, but their yogurt has like 2 slices of strawberry and 3 blue berries and one small pack of granola and they don't even fill it up. Go to first watch for yogurt, NOT Chick-fil-A lol read more
