This business is managed by teenagers, most of whom have never made a sandwich before. I ordered a turkey club and got a wad of turkey on stale bread. The service was nonexistent and sloppy. Stay away from the Skillman eatery or order toast only. read more

The food is solid, the waitstaff is incredibly efficient and kind. It's a great option for those in Richardson that don't want to make the trek into Dallas. read more

After an awesome Elite event, I knew I'd be coming back! Early Saturday morning, in a packed house, I waited for a table for about 10 minutes. No biggie here. In fact, I thought I'd be waiting longer. Plus, they have coffee station for those of us eagerly waiting :) I was not a fan of the coffee. To me, it seemed overly earthy and no amount of sugar could dilute that bitter taste. When I seated and my awesome waitress came over, i asked of that was the only option for coffee. Unfortunately, for me, she said "yes", but also recommended the Ice Coffee, which was P-H-E-[N-O-M]-E-N-A-L! The Million Dollar Bacon (cooked light) was soooooo much better. Four slices of signature hardwood smoked bacon with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle. It's the perfect blend of savory and sweet. My little sister (5 yo.) snatched one off the plate while our waitress was putting it down on the table ha-ha. The Everything Smoked Benedict - two poached cage-free eggs atop toasted ciabatta (better than a bagel) with Wild Alaska Smoked Sockeye Salmon, whipped cream cheese, red onions, hollandaise, and "everything" bagel spice + potatoes. I loved this benedict. Preferably, i'd like the red onions sauteed and extra hollandaise sauce for boot-drinking-out-of :D The Parma Hash - two cage-free eggs any style atop fresh, seasoned potatoes, Italian sausage, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions and tomatoes with melted Parmesan, Mozzarella and fresh herbs. Served with whole grain artisan toast. The Italian sausage was soooo bomb! I'll keep returning back to my new modern breakfast spot! :) read more

WOW is all I can say! 5 stars is not enough for the generous hospitality we received. From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted with big smiles from the First Watch staff. It felt so warm and welcoming I just couldn't help but to smile back! Smelled like home from the second I opened the door, a very rich scent of maple syrup made my nose flair up! Immediately to the left was a very tall stack of pancakes displayed surrounded by their perfectly packaged coffee beans! This cool restaurant is completely different from anywhere I have ate in Dallas! Their farm fresh eggs taste so good! And I'm for sure an egg eater!!! Do you love avocado? If so, the avocado is seasoned perfectly and spread onto thick toast... paired with 2 eggs! Its so good you may just want another order of the avocado toast! And who doesn't like bacon? The million dollar bacon is so tasty! Plated with 4 strips per plate with their signature syrup drizzled on top! Good enough to share, but it's bacon, who wants to share a side of bacon? (lol) My favorite dish here is the hash! It comes out with a side of tortilla shells and a hearty portion of eggs, avocado, potatoes, bacon, corn and more to just make your mouth explode of all the different flavors seasoned in this dish! And if you are in the mood for pancakes, they have a very unique double stack that is topped with lemon and strawberries! Lots of sweets and light sours for this pancake stack! And if you love sandwich melts, which I absolutely do, you must get their ham & tomato melt! Oh this is to good to be true, the first bite all the cheese just melts in your mouth and the fresh tomato is so warm and juicy! This is a huge sandwich and my second favorite thing on the menu! Now all this eating will make you thirsty. To wash everything down, you must try the refreshing Hibiscus Limeade!! Looking around as you wait for your food, the staff is extremely attentive. The table stays clean as they pick up dishes right after you finish. In addition needing extra water and coffee, your cup never stays half full, there is always someone coming around with a smile keeping you hydrated! Time to eat, grab your silverware and don't forget to put your napkin in your lap, before you do, look at the cool message wrapped around your silverware set! Should help bring some laughs and great conversation to the table. Each napkin has a cool quote! The decor of First Watch is pretty cool too! A chalk board with all kinds of cool messages like "What's the Buzz" & "Smell What the Rock is Cooking" makes for a giggle or two! Also don't forget to check out the First Watch Chalk Board that has all the amazing dishes written out in beautiful bright colors of chalk! First Watch is going to be a place I come for breakfast on the weekends, it's farm fresh and love all the plants that planted up top for a fresh overall look in the restaurant. The food taste so clean and the chefs do an outstanding job of making sure each dish is plated perfectly and taste finger licking good! Healthy, yummy goodness on the inside and before you go you must check out the very cool swag gear they have! Don't just eat your food, but wear it too. They have some really cool T-Shirts that you can swag out in! It's all on what you prefer - Waffles or Bacon...or how about both with cool quotes on the t-shirts that most certainly stand out for sure! When you leave First Watch you will be full and leaving with a smile! From the host to the waitstaff, to the cooks and even the GM who has the biggest smile yet, this Elite Yelp Event left an everlasting impression. You can see the that everyone loves working here and as a team, where their motto is "You First". Putting others before you is always amazing. If you are thinking of taking care of others first and everyone has that mind set, everyone will always be taken care of! Heli this one is for the books! And thank you First Watch for taking breakfast to an new level. Trend setters for sure! #cheers Love our server Bryan!!!! read more

They have a waitlist but apparently you do not get added to it until you get to the restaurant? I checked in and the process said 10-15 minute wait. I arrived in less than 10 minutes and when I gave them my name, they told me 15-20 minutes. Not sure of the purpose of adding to the waitlist. read more

Great place for brunch. I usually order the "Trifecta", a Belgian waffle, scrambled eggs, and breakfast style potatoes. They offer non gmo all organic food with daily specials and a great selection of juices. The Belgian waffle looks thick but is very light and can be topped with your choice fruit. Everything I've ordered here has been good so far, looking forward to coming back and trying other menu items. read more

How can a restaurant not answer phone calls??? I placed a to go order here, in person, and waited about 15 min. When I got my order I was told they they checked everything and packed extra condiments, and I thought the experience was good, so I left a tip. Got home and found out they were missing one of the sandwiches I ordered and had the wrong side for another. I called back for almost two hours and no one answered (this is before their 2:30pm closing time). The phone number listed is the same as on the first watch web site. Turned this into bad first experience for the restaurant ... now I regret leaving the tip. read more

First Watch - This is my food it was awesome it tasted like the cake you would want to eat for the rest of your life - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Nice place to have breakfast or lunch. They messed up which sandwich I was supposed to receive. I wasn't disappointed as the one I got, grilled ham and cheese, was delicious. The waitress's as extremely apologetic but I was happy she made the mistake. We will return again. The açaí bowl was delicious also. read more

First Watch didn't disappoint. We came across First Watch on Instagram and had to try it out! Another great brunch place to go to. Even though the waitress was very busy with other tables the overall experience was great! The coffee was hot and the pot was brought to our table (a plus). The food was very delicious and had great flavor. I got the "Parma" hash that comes with Italian sausage. We also got the Floridian French toast to try and they were delicious! (pictures attached). Definitely will be coming back to try other things on the menu. read more

The First Watch crew were so hospitable and really made us feel welcomed. You can tell they were 100% behind their mission statement of "You First." The food was absolutely delicious and the best part is that you don't feel any guilt about it because the ingredients are top-notch and fresh. The avocado toast with the sunny side eggs was just phenomenal. It's simple but something I would get again and again. The avocados were creamy and chunky on top of the crunchy multigrain toast, which soaks up the yummy goodness of the egg yolk. The elote Mexican corn hash was good but I wish there was more corn. It seemed to be taken over by potatoes. Would I get this dish again? Absolutely! Just more corn, please. The pancakes were light and fluffy. I would have never imagined it was a multigrain ricotta pancake. I'm not a huge fan of sweet breakfast, but this wasn't overly sweet. It had the right amount of tang from the lemon curd and I liked the taste of the fresh strawberries on top. I love that this place is nearby to work and I will definitely bring coworkers here. read more

Terrible service. Come if you wanna wait 30 minutes for water, don't come if youre thirsty.

Staff was very friendly, attentive, and food was exceptional. I love my egg Benedict.

The place lived up to the reviews. I stopped by for breakfast. My first time ordering Avocado Toast in a restaurant. It was very good. Also, the staff was very friendly. The only bad was the coffee. It just wasn't good. read more

Loved my lunch experience at First Watch last week. Great variety in food options btw breakfast and lunch. I got seated right away and my server provided excellent service. Attentive without being annoying. Their 7.99 lunch special is tremendous value. I loved my fresh ciabatta roast beef sandwich half and generous Cobb salad. I left full and quite pleased. I only have a few days left in dallas so my dallas meals are a precious commodity. Nevertheless I was quite tempted to go right back to First Watch to try other items on menu. read more

I've given this place a couple chances and I want to like it, but the food is just not very good. I gave it three stars because the staff and service are excellent and the environment is very nice, but the Eggs Benedict I had was just not very good. Generous with the ham but hollandaise way too lemony and ciabatta was soggy. I also tried my companion's French toast but it was dry and not very flavorful. Just too pricey to for the food to be so below average. read more

I really enjoyed the food here. The staff was super helpful and the restaurant was clean. The ricotta pancakes was nothing short of amazing. The million dollar pancakes are worth every penny. I will definitely be back soon. Really good coffee Clean restrooms Great staff Good food Many options read more

So this was my first time coming to this place.I came here for a Yelp event and I love the concept! Everything is extremely fresh and a lot of great options to choose from. The wait staff did a great job and they made sure everyone was taken care of. They served us a 4 course meal consisting of :Million dollar bacon, avocado toast, Hibiscus limeade, elote Mexican hash (my favorite), ham and gruyere melt, and Lemon ricotta pancakes! We had so much great food! I definitely will be coming back here for more tasty options. read more

This place is run well! Everything was on point and enjoyed including the service!! Will definitely be back!!

I didn't like my experience after having frequented this restaurant since I moved to Dallas in 2017. My waitress was incompetent and the food I was served was sub par if o were served at all. I left the restaurant in tears and fled to the car because the waitress just refused to serve me what I ordered. In fact she didn't even put in the correct order to begin with and I had to beg for the potatoes that I ordered after asking for them three times. When I asked the third time she made it as if I hadn't ordered them at all. I will not be returning. I'm leaving hungry. read more

Delicious food and the service is always great. This restaurant has gotten quite popular so a wait us not unusual. Yesterday the host let us know you can use their app to check the wait and sign up for a table before you get there, so we'll do that next time. Pancakes are huge and fluffy. My husband always gets the elevated egg sandwich. Good options for people who would rather have something less-breakfasty, too. Yesterday I was just really impressed by the service. They were apparently short staffed yet none of the employees lost their cool. The host was running around the whole time and I heard several customers be unjustly rude to him, yet he remained polite and was smiling the entire time. Our waiter was fantastic, too, always attending to our needs and getting extra things promptly. read more

Waited at the front for 10 minutes to be sat -- restaurant was half way empty. I looked a waitress dead in the eyes and put my hands up to be seated, she walked away. Restaurants are designed to serve food with hospitality. "Hospitality" is not relevant here. I don't have time to eat breakfast now, so thanks a lot First Watch. read more

It is my second favorite place for breakfast in Dallas. It is really awesome that you get in line through this application because this place it is too popular and you can spend 40 minutes in line, but it worth it :) there are not many places in Dallas with proper breakfast read more

First Watch - Mediterranean eggs it is really yummy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Excellent breakfast! Was on vacation, and we ate there three days in a row, it was THAT good.

When my server, Yessica, came to introduce herself to our table, she had a pot of coffee and mug in her hands, and asked, "coffee?" I said sure- since she brought it out I assumed it was complimentary (especially since there's complimentary coffee in the waiting area) once I got home I realized it was charged. I feel like it was a dishonest way to get the bill higher and regret leaving a decent tip! I've never had a server pull that on me before. Otherwise she was very nice and attentive. I would or rather given the tip without feeling manipulated. As for the food- you can't beat it! I love that there's many healthy and organic options. Super long wait for brunch, but worth it. read more

why would they bring out a drink menu for Sunday brunch at 8:45 and then tell us they can't serve alcohol till 10? Kind of stupid

First time i cane here was for a yelp elite event and it was an amazing experience! I decided to come back and use the 20 dollar gift card that first watch gave very generously gave us! :) I was here on a saturday around 11 and there was quite a bit if wait; make sure you join the waitlist through yelp before you get there! A nice touch is that they have coffee and cucumber infused water in the waiting area so it makes the waiting a little more tolerable. This time around i was looking for options that were Keto friendly so i decided to try the Bacado omelette with a side salad and the kale tonic juice. I highly recommend the kale tonic juice its very good and it has no added sugar. The Bacado is freaking delicious too, just perfect for Keto, even though i didnt eat the bread it smelled freaking delicious. This place always offers amazing service, no surprise there! read more

This is probably my favorite brunch spot. Although packed on Sundays it was worth the 30 min wait. I got eggs, bacon and pancakes. The eggs were great.. not runny but not dry, the bacon to me was over cooked... it's hard and dark. Kinda wished I'd tried the chicken sausage patty instead, but I'll be back. The pancakes were amazing! You get a ginormous pancake and the edges are crisped to perfection with butter on top. The syrup is light and the pancake is cakey enough to soak up the three times I poured syrup over the pancake. They also have juices. Some have kale, basil, beets, turmeric, pear, etc. Its seasonal so either their app or online website would be able to tell you what they have now. All in all if you like having healthy choices or home cooked southern breakfast this is definitely the spot to go! read more

WORST HOST AND CHECK-IN EXPERIENCE EVER! The host named Thain was very rude and also lied about the check in process. I checked in via the wonderful Yelp that with normally works. In this case some young ladies were able to get seated prior to me, when I asked about it I was informed by the liar that that could've happened but I witnessed it myself. He then took a very aggressive tone when responding to my questions. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, JUST HORRIBLE. This piss poor attitude almost made me leave, but I decided to stay for the food. The Yolk far ahead of this place when it comes to service. It sad when reviews can't be about the food. read more
