If you haven't been you must! I've only come for breakfasts but I would dare to guess their lunch options are just as fantastic. The wait is always long and always worth it. Definitely get the million dollar bacon. The wait staff is very kind. The food is fresh and quick. Menu options are diverse and interesting. The staff works their buns off. The atmosphere is eclectic and artsy. I would recommend to anyone read more

We love to eat at First Watch. The food is always good and temperature of the food is hot. Excellent service also.

So, it's been over a year since my last review. First Watch is still an establishment with very good food and very good service however, the reduced portion sizes are still a regular occurrence. It is difficult to comprehend why the cheapest item to make (the rustic potatoes) are the item that seem to be served in the smallest portion. I have left still hungry and mildly perturbed a couple times in the past two months. I am a medium husky kind of guy and I used to rave about the food and how filling it was but, I no longer have such joy. I have only continued to patronize here due to influence from friends and family that enjoy the healthier option of food. The service is still very good but, a friendly reminder "don't try to fix what wasn't broken" . Quality and service are what brings people back, quantity helps as well! read more

I have eaten there several times now and really enjoyed it the food was great and the service was just as good and I plan to be going there again soon, it seems like you get plenty to eat but you don't feel bloated after eating. One of my favorite sandwiches is BLT with egg and this is got to be my favorite place for it, just so good. read more

let's get this straight: 2 stars for the food, but if i could, i'd give our waitress Corrie zero stars. i tried a bacon cheddar pancake, with two eggs and a sausage link. the eggs and sausage were a bit cold when they reached the table. also, i could taste that the eggs were cooked in margarine, or some sort of other cooking spray. the pancake was amazing, believe it or not. the waitress, however, was terrible. she clearly didn't want to wait on our table. and believe me, we're not a couple of hellraisers or anything. as i've noted in my other reviews: keep my drink filled, bring my food, ask if we need anything else, and boom--we're happy. as soon as we were seated, Corrie asked "so are you ready to order?" mind you, we hadn't even opened the menus yet. as soon as our food came to the table, she presented us with our check. she never came back to ask if we needed anything, and our drinks went unfilled. i wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, but if the mood strikes and i want brunch, i wouldn't rule this place out, either. read more

We've been coming here every Sunday for a month now. It's such a great place and the food is very good. There is a lot of healthy options too. It gets really busy after 10am, but the service is always friendly and quick. We will continue coming here every week. read more

Second time here and we were less than impressed. Our first time was excellent. Service was great, good food and a fast paced atmosphere. However, our second trip was not. The host was quite rude, our food was ice cold and our server was not very attentive. I was disappointed in the food as was the rest of our party. Though it came out fairly quick, it was all cold. When we looked for our server to ask for a reheat or something of the sort she wasn't anywhere to be found. She dropped by with the bill and we didn't see her again. The host was very rude when we were being added to the waitlist and it made for a less than pleasant start to our morning. The juice drink we got was good, but that was about the only good thing from our experience this time. Not sure why the experience was very different from the first, but disappointed would be an understatement. read more

The food was terrible, cold and not properly cooked. My favorite meal of the day is breakfast and its hard to screw up but they certainly did. Wouldn't go back there if they paid me. I have been to several First Watch restaurants in fact the one close to my home in Fort Myers is one of my favorites. They need to improve their quality control. read more

Long wait on the weekends, limited seating for larger groups. Food was tasty, fun menu items make the experience. Service was OK, seemed like their waiting staffed was stretched thin. read more

Service was slow, we had to ask multiple times for water. Food was decent but not overly impressive. There was a nice variety of healthy veggie options. read more

This is our favorite breakfast restaurant! Great quality, local ingredients. Delicious food. Diverse menu ...something for the entire family! read more

I had a brouleed bananas on Belgium waffle with bacon and it certainly was interesting. I will have to come here a couple more times to really give it a fair shake. Service was excellent and it was clean and bright. read more

Just average. Service was acceptable, though the food was not served hot and seemed too expensive for the portion/ingredients.

Healthy food. Relative small portion to gasoline alley. One of places offer fresh juice. Seasonal food always good. This is place we visit most than rest of breakfast places read more

Food tasted good, however the portion sizes are extremely small. City like atmosphere makes it a fun place to eat.

FirstWatch is a Nice place for breakfast or lunch. Keep in mind it closes at 2pm. Breakfast choices range regular staples like pancakes and eggs, to special items such as avocado toast or even Chilaquiles! The specials change based on the season, availability of fresh ingredients, etc, so be sure to check the big chalkboard which will give you the most up to date menu. Same advice applies for their lunch menu. Coffee is smooth and the refills are plentiful. And the service is always quick and friendly. It's good for a weekday business meeting, or a weekend out with the family. Keep in mind that it can get very busy on weekends, so go onto the 'NoWait' app and get into the queue before leaving home. You can never go wrong choosing FirstWatch. read more

Our new favorite place for breakfast. Great service, great food, fair prices, and free WiFi. Love this place. read more

Good food at a good location at the Summit mall. Only complaint I have ever had is waiting times and little to know designated area to actually wait in. read more

Love this place. The food is great! It is always busy, so plan ahead on the weekends!

The carrot cake pancakes are so good. I love this place because it is healthy and fast.

I've eaten at First Watch several times. The restaurant is always busy and you would expect at least good food or good service; but you really won't get either. We arrived for brunch, about 11:30. The restaurant was very busy, but they seemed to be seating people pretty quickly and we only waited about 10min. We ordered, and waited for our food......and waited......and waited. We watched as most of the tables around us received their food; even those seated after us. Finally after about 25 min we received our food....cold. It was pretty clear our food had sat for awhile before arriving at our table. My husband had ordered the Tri-fecta, which consisted of some egg-beaters, two greasy, half cooked pieces of bacon, and a small, cold pancake. For a man who NEVER complains about his food; he couldn't stop. Said it was the worst breakfast he had ever had. For me, I order a kale salad off their specials menu. Not really sure what was so special about it, other than it cost $9 for a super small portion. Mostly consisting of kale, some dried out, old looking carrots, and some dried cranberries. The dressing was super bland. Not impressed, we will not be returning. read more

My absolute favorite breakfast chain! What makes this particular location so amazing is their speed. I've never waited more than 10 minutes for a table and that's including weekends and Sundays! The food variety is a little bit for everyone and there's no bad choices on the menu. read more

A nice place for breakfast/brunch. Good food with plenty of options. I had three cranberry nut pancakes, and I was stuffed when I left. The cost seemed fair, and the service was fine. I wasn't wowed, but I'd return to try other foods. read more

Not impressed, food looked like it was thrown all around the plate before we got it. It also had zero taste. Overpriced as well for what we got. read more

I see many of these low ratings for this place and cant believe it! The service here is TOP NOTCH, and the food is CONSISTENTLY great. To chastise a place that is so busy you have to wait is insane. Ever here of the app "No Wait"? Try it, and please don't hate a place because it's busy! read more

I usually come early for breakfast on the weekend, once in a while during the week. The menu has healthy choices, along with traditional selections. Specials are on the board, and are pretty creative. The service is friendly, attentive and efficient. I have enjoyed all of the breakfast meals I have had there, but have not had brunch or lunch. read more

Always an awesome experience! We preregistered through the Yelp app which shortened the wait.

Enjoyed the food although menu seemed a bit quirky. Can't order just a cup or coffee (have to pay for a mini carafe) and egg dishes all had some twist. Good breakfast although I'd you want good old egg and coffee breakfast I'd recommend Bob Evans. read more

Crowded on wknds. Be prepared to stand in line for bkfst. Otherwise food was good - nothing exceptional. Service variable. Inexpensive.

First Watch is consistently a great place to eat. The options are healthy AND delicious---a rare combo at other places. Always enjoy their fresh juices, especially the Spring Hydrate-so refreshing! 25 minute wait on Sunday afternoon, but they take your phone number and send you a text when your table's ready. Friendly and fast service. Definitely check it out! read more

Pretty boring food with not a lot of flavor. I had an omelette that had very little filling. The service is extremely friendly, though. Good for kids. read more

First time at First Watch and I loved it. I had the Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos -delicious! My husband wasn't quite sure so he stuck with the Traditional (eggs, sausage and potatoes with toast) and was satisfied. He did venture out and order the Kale Tonic. I had a taste too. We were both pleasantly surprised. Our wait time was less than ten minutes and the service was outstanding!! I look forward to going back and trying other items on the menu!! read more

Always good service. They have an app if you are waiting. Also, for someone who commented on portion sizes, this isn't a diner. They aren't going to shovel a ton of eggs and bacon on your plate. All the meals I have eaten, from healthy choices to pancakes, have come just as I would expect. Their coffee while you wait is a nice perk. read more

Had a late breakfast earlier. Place was pretty busy...seated quickly and was surprised to see our food come out within 5 minutes of ordering. Food was hot and my kids loved the chocolate chip pancakes. Fresh squeezed orange juice was also refreshing. Would definitely recommend anyone to pay a visit. read more

The food was good but the service is the worse I have had in a very long time. Our waitress never ever came back to our table after taking our order. For refills we had to wave down then manager and a random server put our bill on our table as soon as we got our food, when we wanted to order more. When we expressed our disappointment to the manager in our service he could care less. Very disappointed in a place that has potential. read more

Had a breakfast meeting there this morning. The decent service is all that gained the second star, even though my party's food did not come out at the same time. I ordered the Cherry Chicken Quinoa Power Bowl. It was gross. They served me leftovers. The quinoa was not made that morning, nor was the chicken. The assembled and reheated leftovers. Awful. I think the dish was balanced and inventive and had it been made from fresh food, it would have been very tasty. Still, for a place that boast farm fresh, the food they served was a joke. I wish I would have ordered something with eggs, so it would have been somewhat fresh. If I have to meet someone there I'll try it again, but I won't seek it out. read more
