The service was a bit scattered, I would appreciate more attentiviness. The food menu is the same at most of the First Watch visited in the past. The avocado toast is always a winner! The tacos are my fovorite! The coffe at this place was tasting burned... hence the 3 stars only. But overall the food is good. read more

This is a really cool place to get a vast variety of foods that surround breakfast and brunch... Only thing missing is the bloody Mary bar, and mimosas! It could have some shrimp and grits or fried chicken... but other than that it's aight! read more

My family and I had a great time here! They say is right away. Our server Tracy was very busy, but I noticed she managed her tables very well. Their was a point that she could get a refill for me as she was already working on a task, but coming around the corner was another team member with a drink refill! That's TEAMWORK! I met the manager Emanuel. Great guy and doing a fantastic on with walking around and monitoring the floor We will be back to this location! read more

First Watch - A very nice farmhouse table (pub style). We really like the stools too! - Cafes Near Me - Farragut, Tennessee

This is the place to go for breakfast and lunch, specially when they update the menu with new stuff like the Spring Clean Eating menu. I ordered The Ancient Bowl and it was delicious I felt good eating it because it was so healthy and protein packed. It's also a tradition to get the Million Dollar Bacon you must get it (if you eat bacon) it's so good you don't want to share. read more

Waitress was rude. Walked away from me mid-sentence while I was giving an order. Tried to correct me while I was ordering my drink. I tried to point to the menu to show what I wanted and interrupted to ask if I needed more time. Food was bad. Bread wasn't toasted, fish tasted like it was Luke warm. That's scary. Did not ask if I wanted a refill. Never checked on me while I was eating. Simply brought the check then tried to be nice so she could a decent tip. I'll not be going back. read more

Excellent food and service!! Went to both Farragut locations within a week. Had great food at both and the workers were all very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend both. read more

Great breakfast and brunch place. The decor is inviting and there is an excellent menu selection. The Chickichanga is one of my favorite dishes. You must try the seasoned potatoes. read more

We love the food, the servers are amazing and I know they will make a great brunch. They all have a great look.

I love brunch. You say brunch. I say what time and I'll be there. However, this place was just... ok. The avocado toast was a good portion so no complaints there and it satisfied the hipster in me who could eat avocados every day in any form you throw in front of me but the place just wasn't my vibe. Service was fine. No one else in my party had anything bad to say about their food. Just... nothing super special about it. Maybe one day I'll venture to another location and give it another try but with so many other amazing brunch/lunch spots around town, it's a little unlikely. Oh and they don't serve alcohol so no bloody Mary's or Mosas. So can I even really say I brunched here?? read more

My husband and I were seated right away. We loved the atmosphere and food so much that we drove 30 mins each way the very next day to eat there again! Very delicious & fresh food and attentive service. I highly recommend ordering the million dollar bacon, wowza! Way to do it right, First Watch! read more

First Watch - Grilled chicken & avocado chop salad. Delicious! - Cafes Near Me - Farragut, Tennessee

If consistency and a standard flavor is what you are looking for, this is your place and I highly recommend it! If you are look for a more creative experience, this may not be the place for you. This location seems to be less busy than the other two in town. It is a bit smaller in actual size. The coffee is ALWAYS good. The food lacks a lot of flavor. It seems to all be fresh, but lacking in seasoning. The service at this location is quite lackluster. They seem to be scattered and disorganized. This is usually a reflection of management giving their attention elsewhere. Not the worst, far from the best, but typically reliable. read more

Food is great! Have been on multiple occasions during rush hour, but Jennie is by far the best server I've met. She was working multiple tables but we never went without what we needed and she was nice every time. read more

10 minutes to get coffee. We ordered our food right when we got the menus and 30 mins later we were told that they were out of what we ordered. We left. If we were told they were out of our order sooner we would have ordered something else. Do not recommend going here. read more

Had a wonderful breakfast. The banana granola almond pancake was tremendous. Would definitely recommend getting their early, they filled up quick. read more

After 20 minutes we still had not received a correct order. The remainder of our party was done. The staff took no regard and did nothing to rectify the bill. Will not return again as their policies completely disregard customer service. read more

One star, only because I can't put zero star. I took my family to this restaurant for a brunch. The wait outside was not very long because we checked-in online. The problem began after we sat down on our table. It took about 15 minutes before our waitress asked us what drinks we wanted and another 10 minutes before she returned, but his was not really a big deal. 40 minutes after our waitress took our orders, we still didn't get our food or hear anything from the waitress. I approached one of the staff and asked for the manager, it just so happened that he was the manager. He said his name is Jamison; I told him that it's been 40 mins and we haven't received our food. During this conversation, our food was finally being served when I turned to our table. I asked the manager if it was normal for them to take this long to serve their food, at this point, he laughed and told me we're busy. I've eaten at first watch in Jacksonville, NC which is much bigger and busier than this branch, but the service was outstanding. Our food was delivered on a timely manner. After our experience, I reviewed the previous reviews on Yelp and it seemed that this problem happens a lot in this specific branch. Yes, the food was good, but the service is terrible. Personally speaking, this is a management issue. The current manager doesn't have the ability to effectively lead and manage his crew. If this man can't be replaced, give him the proper training to set him up for success. Based on the previous reviews, this issue has been brought up and neither the franchise owner or corporate did anything to fix this problem. This is the fastest way to loose your regular customers. I DON'T RECOMMEND eating at this restaurant and I will definitely not be returning. read more

Food is always amazing, portions are exactly what they should be, atmosphere is a little less cozy than I'd like, but service is always excellent... fast to seat, take orders and serve. read more

The experience I received when coming here was certainly one that will keep me coming back. The value is unmatched compared to similar restaurant concepts. The feel of everything and ambience is reminiscent to superior quality. The food comes out faster than you can say your blessing, and the service is prompt yet genuinely friendly. This place doesn't need to be open past 2:30. You'll thank yourself and your friends will thank you for making it out to enjoy a healthy, fun, and affordable time. The seasonal menu gives you so many unique and balanced dishes, Im compelled to stop by and enjoy a meal occasionally. read more

Organic, local breed, and tasty! Perfect brunch spot! I had the tei-fecta breakfast and hubs had the breakfast tacos, let's just say once the food was in front of us there was not much talking because we were so into our dishes. Rusty farm-modern setting. Loved it!!! read more

It was nice to see another First Watch in Knoxville that was a little closer to home. We've been to the other Knoxville location a handful of times and have always enjoyed our experience at First Watch. We didn't have to wait very long on a Sunday afternoon to be seated, and we were quickly offered and brought coffee and water. I ordered two pancakes with a side of sourdough toast, which were all delicious (well, as much as I could eat- as those pancakes are huge). My boyfriend enjoyed the trifecta where he switched the waffle/pancake option out for french toast. All of the food was delicious, hot, and fresh, and our service was extremely friendly and helpful (thank you, Stacy!) Our only complaint was that the trifecta only included one sausage, but it was still rather filling. As usual, we enjoyed our breakfast at First Watch and I'm sure we'll be back to this location again soon! read more

Chickachanga manga mama! That was good is an understatement! The multi grain with banana crunch granola has chunks of banana in it like the minions say BANANA is what you will be saying after your first bite! For being awesome in their style and organic farm fresh nature! I like the atmosphere and it definitely is convenient to come right before Costco opens and grab a bite before your 10 am opening! Will be back a lot!!! I give this two thumbs up and an ÓRALE! read more

The quality has really decreased over the last couple of years but today I am fairly certain I was served food that someone else ordered sent back and instead of them discarding they scraped the salmon out and threw the ingredients for the morning market veg in the eggs added fresh greens on top of the old and sent it out. Half way through I found pieces of salmon. I am disgusted with this and so disappointed!! This use to be a great place to grab breakfast/brunch!! read more

Here becomes one of the brunch places I favor in the town! Today is my first time dinning in this restaurant with my husband. We were told by the waitress that the restaurant was called "The Egg & I" and recently changed its name to "First Watch" after bought by First Watch. We noticed the old egg & I long time ago when we first time shopping at Costco but we never got a chance to walk into it cuz we always went to Costco in afternoon, and the egg & I only opens till 2:30pm. Finally we decided to have brunch here since we got a $2 OFF coupon from the mint magazine. We were surprised to see the name changed when we got there but it was so nice that they still accepted my coupon:) The place was busy during the lunch time but we only waited less than 5 mins. There are plenty options on the menu. I was happy to see that they offer healthy meals with low calories. I ordered Power Wrap from "The Healthier Side" and the waitress told me it was also her first time order. It has egg whites, turkey, spinach, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms and Swiss in a sundried tomato basil tortilla; the pink wrap really gives me appetite. The meal has two wraps (or one cut in half) and served with fresh fruit and a side of housemade salsa, which adds more flavors in case you feel the wrap tastes too light. Of course it is light to stay low sodium but it's perfect to me! My husband ordered "Farmhouse Skillet Hash"--two over easy eggs (you can choose your style) atop fresh seasoned potatoes, bacon, avocado, house roasted onions and tomatoes, cheddar and Monterey Jack, and served with two-piece whole grain toasts. It tastes really really good! Remember you will get another $2 off for your next visit after complete their short online survey. Just present the validation code with your receipt to the cashier when you pay. Now, the mint magazine has a weekday deal for the egg & I (they do accept the coupon at this location) that you buy 1 entree and get another one free. The offer is valid through March 31, 2017. It's good for people who work near the restaurant. Go with a colleague and only cost $5 for each of you, what a deal! read more

I would recommend you keep driving down Lovell Rd and breakfast at IHOP, Waffle House, or Denny's instead of First Watch. First Watch is surprisingly and consistently bad at cooking eggs. You cannot get a fried egg that has the whites totally cooked and yolk runny here. So, after many tries, I decided to just get scrambled eggs instead. The scrambled eggs were flat, dry, and browned from overcooking - definitely not fluffy or even what I consider scrambled eggs - more of a flat egg patty. I also recently tried their Bob's Mill buttered grit bowl - also disappointing - edible - I was hungry and ate it - but the instant grits I make at home are way better . . . as are my fried and scrambled eggs. If you are out and want a warm sit-down breakfast there are 3 other options very close to this First Watch - IHOP, Denny's, and a Waffle House. All three also have cushions on their booth seats rather than the hard wood booths. read more

Food and service is usually decent, but don't go here when there is even a whisper of high traffic. The staff clearly does not know how to manage good customer service, and everyone here seems extremely stressed and rude. We used call ahead seating and were greeted by a hostess who seemed annoyed we were even in her presence, and were seated outside without being asked a preference, which would have been fine if it weren't 52° and rainy with no heat lamps. We waited about 35-40 minutes after ordering before our food came, and when it arrived it seemed as if it had been sitting in the back for 20+ minutes as it was extremely cold, which is even more disappointing for a breakfast restaurant that has EGGS in most dishes. Our server checked in with us one time after the food had been delivered, only to ask how we wanted the checks. I usually love this restaurant and enjoy my food and service but was just extremely dissatisfied with this experience. read more

Great food, service, and very timely! They have a one person policy for the bathroom during COVID-19. I'm a huge fan of their bread so I was pleased to hear that they sell it at their cafés. Needless to say, I bought a loaf to take home! I am looking forward to replicating the avocado toast at home! read more

I came here brunch with a friend. She really hyped the place up but I had a feeling it wouldn't live up to her hype. After looking over the menu a couple of times, I got the Floridian French toast. It wasn't that great, pretty basic meal. I did enjoy the fruit on top of it but it wasn't anything spectacular. I got a side of bacon for about $4-5 extra -_- I wish they offered it as a meal. Actually I wish I would have gone w the breakfast tacos. I highly doubt I'd come back on my own but it's not a horrible place. read more

I really like this place. The menu choices are diverse, with plenty of healthy options. I love the fresh juices. The veggie omelet is great, the home fries are perfectly cooked and spiced, and the lemon pancakes are delicious. It does get busy, but if you're an early riser you won't have a problem. From what I've seen it doesn't get too busy until 10 ish. read more

My wife and I ate here this morning. It's one of our favorite places to go for breakfast. The servers are always wonderful and hulu can pretty much order your food however you want it. The food itself is always great. I've never had a bad meal here. If you're looking good a good tasting meal that's still pretty healthy for you, I recommend First Watch. read more

We went there for breakfast after Christmas shopping at Costco. The food is amazing. Two of us had the cinnamon chip pancakes, they were honestly the best pancakes I've ever had. They were perfectly sweet I didn't have to use syrup. I will be going back for sure. It's conveniently located by Costco. As I fill this out, I already want to go back for some more. read more

Yum yum yum! I love the rustic, barn atmosphere of this place. The ingredients are fresh, organic, and farm grown. Everything I have ordered thus far was excellent. Well made and friendly service. Served with free coffee once you sit down. Their morning juices are a good kick start to your day. I had avocado toast with side of eggs. I never seen an avocado so green, and they also stuff a lot on top of your toast so you get the most from it. The over easy egg that went with it was cooked to perfection. Seriously never seen an egg cooked so well. There has to be a secret to that. The dish may seem simple but I think it's pretty worth it for $8. I don't feel rushed at all when I am here, and I appreciate that. I can just have a seat and sit and enjoy the company with my cup of coffee. 5 stars! read more

Came back because I loved the food the first time. This time I got the elevated egg sandwich since my friends were raving about it last time-- it was a bit bland for me. I loved the sandwich I had ordered the first time. Of course we got the million dollar bacon again - always delicious. We tried the green tea pancakes which was also very good. My husband went with the new quinoa with pouched eggs and watermelon beets. It wasn't as great as it looked in the pic but it did taste good. read more

I've loved First Watch since I was in college at University of Kansas! I'm so glad Knoxville has several locations now. My favorite is the Power Wrap, a light and delicious way to start your day! I recently tried their iced coffee and it was amazing. My only wish is that they had the option for soy or almond milk. We sat outside because it was a beautiful day and the service was outstanding. They were super sweet with our nine month old and let us know several options of things she can eat there, like a bowl of whatever kind of fruit she's able to eat. We'll be back for brunch soon! read more

I'm not usually a breakfast eater, but I did have an occasion to chow down at First Watch recently. I'm walking in the door with low expectations for a preferably vegan early morning meal. The restaurant is super clean and the wait staff very pleasant. At 7 AM - it's not crowded and there's only 1 or 2 servers. There's not a vegan breakfast on the menu so like most places you have to be creative. I had the Avocado Toast (thick cut whole wheat). The meal comes with 2 eggs, so I subbed the eggs for grits - no butter. I've always been a big fan of grits and these delivered. They're stone-ground yellow grits and simply delicious. Smashed avocados on toast is definitely a thing! Everything was seasoned well. A friend of mine had the Power Wrap and he raved about it. It's still hard to fathom a $20 breakfast with a Waffle House exactly 1 mile down the road, but I did enjoy the meal. read more

I used the app to put our name on the waitlist. The wait was 30-45 minutes. We got there 35 minutes later only to be told that we had to wait all over again for another 45 minutes. Why have a waitlist if I'm not actually on it? Everyone was upset. This is the second time this happened. I thought the first time was a fluke, but apparently this is just how they operate. I love the food, but I'm not sure I'll go back after these transactions. Both times we left. read more
