    Half pecan salad half roast beef Havarti sandwich
    Annissa L.

    It was pretty busy for a Wed morning, we got seated right away. Food was great, lots of gluten free options. It was hard to decide what to choose!

    7 of us stopped in for breakfast. We were seated at a round table which was spacious. Service was excellent as were the orders across the 6 epicureans and one, 3 year old. The standard menu along with the seasonal menu offered a variety for a large offering of eclectic choices. I was very impressed and will certainly be back Sorry no pictures- had family in from out of town that took my full attention.

    Place is packed. Standing room only!
    Alejandro L.

    Our service was a pleasant experience. Our server was amazing. She was extremely helpful, responsive, prompt, as well as detail oriented on specific requests. (I believe her name was Sidney?). Foods must to come out together. Our family had 2 orders of avocado toast. One arrived first thing, the other was minutes after all food was served. (My wife's was last) As a large profitable franchise, I'd focus on the layout. The front wait area is not comfortable, walking through the dining room has no flow, families are smashed and sat into uncomfortable booths, tables, with no room to walk around when chairs have guests pulled out from tables and enjoying themselves. We were trying to navigate our son's wheelchair to our seat. I'd strongly advised removing front entry checkout. Has no reason whatsoever in today's world. Nothing is efficient. Clogging, bogging, and shuffling out of the way for checkout, arrivals, and yelling party names. (Experience) It can leave a last tarnished memory when existing the restaurant.

    Blueberry pancake with a side of bacon
    Dore T.

    First watch has an amazing selection of breakfast and lunch items. Their portions are huge. Their pancakes are the size of a dinner plate so unless you're starving one is sufficient. Their bacon is crispy the way I love it. Although I didn't get it today their Bloody Mary is awesome. It's topped with their million dollar bacon. They have a nice selection of healthier options as well. The oatmeal is delicious. Weekends are really busy. I suggest getting the app and getting on the waitlist. When you get there you can breeze past the line. The restaurant is very open with big windows that bring in a lot of natural light.

    Side of potatoes
    Vandana M.

    We've been here multiple times, but this time we got the pancake for the first time. We asked for a mix of chocolate and blueberry pancakes. The recipe used real blueberries and high quality chocolate. It came with a fresh compote. This has been a great pancake experience! Next time I will get just Chocolate pancake and I can already imagine how awesome it will be. Moist, soft and delicious!

    Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict
    Laur A.

    Came here on our trip's last day for breakfast, because we wanted something hearty before the flight home. We were seated immediately and was greeted with great service. Quite fitting for a morning riser food place. We walked in and felt right at home, a little rustic vibe and the menu looked like newspapers. The food itself was a little pricey for the portion size but everything tasted great. The plates were dressed very nicely, I'll give it that much. I do wish my potatoes were crisped a little more because I do like them crunchy. The french toast hit the spot, and the chile omelet did too.

    Avocado chicken chop salad
    Patrice B.

    Love First Watch! I'm currently on a restricted meal plan and so thankful for this place having many options to fit the mold! I tried the Avocado chicken chop salad and the citrus dressing was the perfect addition! It was a very summery salad which I loved and it was just the right size. The restaurant was busy but we were seated very quickly and our server was prompt with checking in on us. I also like that they have both an inside option and a patio for seating. So glad I stopped in. I hadn't been here since doing takeout during Covid!

    This is what you get when you order out.
    Teresa H.

    The food looks like it was half eaten before it even arrived. I understand COVID changed a lot of things howver, quaity and give a damn should not be one of them. I wish I could give them zero like come on! The standards should be the same for take out!! Because the prices sure do cost more to have it delivered.

    Food was amazing! Kendall gave us great service we will definitely be back to try more!

    Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee
    John S.

    The entry area is super confusing with the pay-out area and greeter stand being separate. When it's busy there will be 2 long lines that tangle together. Atmosphere is hectic but the food is good!

    Deacy T.

    Went for Saturday morning brunch. Restaurant was packed and loud so we sat at the community table. Still got quick and fat service and was in and out in a great time. Really good food and lots of menu options.

    Vegetable Omelet with Turkey Sausage
    Eric G.

    The portions are generous here and the service is good. I had a vegetable omelet with a side of turkey sausage. The sausage was a bit dry but otherwise ok. It's very busy here so expect a wait. If you're by yourself you can just sit at the long high table - no wait.

I ordered the fish and chips (still coming off of Lent...habit, I guess). I was pleasantly surprised. I expected frozen and flashed fried pieces. What I was served were three delicately beer battered sustainably farmed swai... good sized and delicious! The accompanying fries were fantastic as well. My only suggestion if you get bothered by loud noise while dining is to be seated away from the tvs. Bathrooms are clean and walkways are not greasy sticky. I'll be back to try other items on there extensive menu!

We arrived at the restaurant and the young lady working was pleasant and friendly. We asked her what her favorites were and she said everything was good, some days she has the fish and others the chicken. She provided an extensive menu for our review. We took the menu and perused, decided to do one fish (cod) and one chicken tender meals with zucchini sticks. When the meals arrived the chicken looked good, the fish looked not so good. The cod was an off color best described as gray and was irregularly shaped ( looked more like perch). The fish was more breading and a bit greasy, definitely a fishy taste. The zucchini sticks were breading and mush ) very watery. The chicken was moist however the breading sloughed off when cutting and it had an off taste. The only things edible without comment were the fries and coleslaw. My wife and I both only consumed small bites of the food and decided it was not worth risking... should have followed our instincts and went elsewhere immediately. The menu is too extensive to be able to provide quality entrees. We stopped on the way home and picked up a pizza for lunch. Very disappointed, Mike's will not be on our list in the future.
