    Lavender French toast
    Alexandra F.

    This review is overdue. We've come to this location a few times now and it doesn't ever disappoint! Service is great, all the waitresses are super friendly and efficient. The place is very clean and they managed to fit in plenty of seating without it feeling like you're on top of the other table. The food is great! We love that they have a seasonal menu. Their ingredients are always super fresh. We really like the chikichanga and lemon ricotta pancakes from their standard menu but we always try the new items too. Recently, they had a lavender French toast that was amazing!

    Didn't really think of much of this place until my colleagues recommended it. I was shocked and surprised, in a good way! It was me and ny hubby's first time coming here so we didn't really know what to expect when it comes to their food. So it seems they do promote healthy lifestyle/eating, which is such a huge plus! I love their kale juice, it's so refreshing and it's definitely good for your gut! I ordered the Market Skillet Hash with bacon. Food was well seasoned, and well done. Presentation was good. Our server was sweet and nice :) Definitely would come here again!

    Chile Chorizo Omelet
    Billi B.

    Holy cow the vibe of this place was so lively! Right as you walk in you're greeted by friendly customer service as well as a lot of positive energy from the customers. The restaurant was packed and everyone seemed to be enjoying their time. Let's get started with the food review now! We got the kale tonic fresh juice which was composed of kale, Fuji apple, English cucumber and lemon. It tasted fresh and energizing. We also ordered the Chile chorizo omelette and market hash. The market hash consisted of two sunny side eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, shallots, red peppers, mozzarella and goat cheese. The Chile chorizo omelette consisted of chorizo, omelette, avocado, green chiles, onions, cheddar and Monterey Jack. Both came with fresh whole grain toast. Overall the food was godly delicious. Full of flavor, rich in calories and nutrients for energy. Portion sizes were massive! Left with a full tummy. So far this has been top 3 breakfast places I've tried in the area. The quality and freshness of the food is also seen on their menu because they provide a nutrition label with amount of calories and ingredients used in their dishes.

    Even at 1100 on Friday it's crazy busy

    They lose a star this trip because my biscuits and gravy with eggs (scrambled) were EXTREMELY mediocre, to put it politely. Queen Bee enjoyed her "half and half" selection. She chose a half Monterey club (grilled) and a cup of tomato basil soup. My dear Queen Bee totally loved her choices, and said she'd order that same combo again as a switch up from breakfast stuff. She also had the "Morning Meditation" mixed juice beverage. Our dear server Alex totally forgot to bring it out until we were half done with our food. She did apologize about it, although the Missus could've done without it by this juncture. Beyond that, not notably remarkable one way or the other. When we cashed out, we used the gift card the corporate office gave us back when for a total strikeout of a first visit to this First Watch. No less than the manager himself cashed us out. Well... After adding in tip to the original $31 tab, and subtracting the $30, we had around $9 left. So Mr. Manager appeared confused and said "$8.85 on the card?" and THEN repeated himself after QB said "yes." So he had this quizzical deer in the headlight expression. What I totally did NOT like is that he neither acknowledged nor smiled nor anything. No "thank you," no "have a nice day," not a single stinking word. This is the kind of service I'd expect from someone a few links down the food chain. This fellow (tall blond haired male with glasses) is supposed to be in CHARGE of this place??? Good help is truly hard to find these days, particularly in the hospitality field. Let's just say Mr. Manager was about as friendly and hospitable as a bowling ball. Seems like Mr. Manager doesn't quite manage to manage. Luckily I didn't make the us a two star review, folks.

    Floridian French Toast

    Upscale breakfast-lunch spot. While a little pricey, everything I've had there had been a breakfast treat. Splurge on the Million Dollar Bacon! Service is prompt and quick.

    ​Same as other First Watch, good service, great food and busy.........................

    Hernan P.

    Not bad, we walked in on a Saturday morning. The place was packed and we had to wait. It was a short 8 minute wait. Once seated even the service was fast. The server was quick, polite and had personality. Like I said, this place was packed, every seat was taken. The noise was moderate, people just talking aloud with each other. The food was your basic of breakfast. Tasty but nothing unique about it. We had the tacos and biscuit and gravy with eggs and breakfast potatoes and some bacon.

    Morning Meditation
    Amy M.

    This is a go to for a good breakfast. I usually get the Market Veg omelette with a side of bacon and the Morning Meditation juice or coffee. This is a cozy spot with friendly staff. They even have a community table if it is busy and you don't have time to wait.

    hair in my coffee :(

    i like this place lots but today i got a coffee and halfway through it i saw this other than that the other times ive gone have been good but this time was just a fluke

    Market Hash

    Outstanding Breakfast Experience! Best breakfast ever! The "Roast Beef & Havarti" and "market hash" options were incredible. Amazing flavors, attentive service of Elijah , and a unique concept. Can't wait to go back for more! -A & J

    Date of Visit: 05/23/2026…read more It was a Saturday afternoon and I had some time, so I took Fritz out for a drive and headed to Clearwater up 19. Took that to Gulf-to-Bay and its right there as you head west. It was around 1pm and the parking was easy, plenty. I chose to walk up and order rather than the drive-thru, wanted to sit and eat. As I walked up on the place I could see it was made up of containers, shipping containers. By the way this is my first time at one of these places. When I entered I could see there were two sitting areas and one order/pick-up window. Checked the menu out and they really only have one burger. A single, double or triple patty. And it comes as Double (2 sliders), triple or a quad. I ordered the double with waffle fries and a coke. I did wait a short while, there was a line at the drive-thru when I arrived but not long. As I waited I looked around and found it odd they the walls were empty. I would expect a TV or a monitor with some on, nothing. I was called and I got my food. Whether you eat in or take out, it comes in a bag. no tray. First thing I was surprised by the fries, don't really prefer the waffle fry but these were done really good. Crispier than others. And the burgers were a good size for being a slider. And as another one said they were done right. I had LMO on mine with cheese. It was good burger and fry. As I sat there and ate some others sat as well and I over heard one say something about condiments and napkins. Although I did get napkins with I'm a ketchup person so I didn't notice at first. There are no condiment station anywhere, again, odd... Overall not a bad place if your driving thru, give it a try. Peace.

I'm sorry to say that the bun was the best part of the slider. The waffle fries had not much flavor. The feeling that you are eating in a garage is probably because you are! The service at the window was fine, very nice lady. When food is ready you get a shout out from the other window. I guess my disappointment was because I read many positive reviews. I will say the place is clean. And thankfully the birds that flew in didn't drop anything! Will I try it again? Never say never.
