We had the Steak and eggs chimichurri. It was quick, hot, and wonderfully seasoned. Our server John was top notch. Gordon Ramsey would hire this young man. The atmosphere was peaceful, bright , and very clean. A new favorite. Oh not mention the coffee was right up there too! read more

First Watch - Steak and eggs Chimichurri. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

This restaurant appears to be relatively newly built; we no longer live in Ft. Wayne, so I don't know exactly how long they've been open: Food: The food was outstanding. Breakfast food doesn't typically merit strong opinions one way or another, but everyone in our party of 5 remarked at how good it was. Ambiance: Lots of natural sunlight, although the noise factor was a little high. Service: Well, there were a few issues. They were at-capacity, and one person in our group never got his pancake until we asked multiple times. By the time they finally brought it to the table, everyone else had finished eating, I had already paid the bill, and I had my car keys in my hand. They'll eventually work out the kinks I'm sure. read more

Family friendly place, with a wide menu perfect for brunch! I got the carne asada breakfast tacos but preferred the original better. Everyone was satisfied with their food! We went on a busy day so the service wasn't the greatest but would definitely go again for a better experience. read more

This was our first trip here. I have been itching to go here for breakfast, but usually hard to hit up with a five day work week. We were surprised coming in. It wasn't as difficult to get a table for brunch. After being seated, they quickly took our order and sent it to the kitchen. I would say preparation time may be longer than the typical breakfast joints around here. I had the Floridian French toast, which looked exactly like the menu picture, which is great. It was spot on for taste and just the right amount of sweetness. My wife got the seasonal maple bacon and egg croissant sandwich, which was a bit on the sweeter side. The potatoes unfortunately were over salted and almost difficult to eat. Overall, I'll have to give it another try to make up my mind whether I truly like it over the other breakfast options in Southwest Fort Wayne. read more

It just opened and had a long wait time. It's a large space, has outdoor seating and also some alcoholic drinks on the menu. Once the newness settles down I hope it will be a fun delicious spot read more

Third visit to First Watch today. Got seated immediately, a pleasant surprise! Our server, Jacquelin, could not have better! Husband had the summer menu special, the Elote Burrito (partially eaten and pictured below). It's a grilled tortilla filled with chorizo, scrambled eggs, freshly seasoned potatoes, diced red bell pepper, 2cheeses, black beans and avocado, topped with Vera Cruz hollandaise, roasted corn salsa, Cotija cheese, house-pickled red onions, chipotle aioli, Tajin® and cilantro. HUGE! He said, although filling, he'd definitely order it again! I chose a cup of Italian Wedding soup (not pictured), which was good, but their tomato bisque is even better. Also the "healthy menu" item: Avocado Toast on a slice of their whole grain, wonderful artisan toast (had them top it with tomato), which was accompanied by 2 perfectly basted eggs. It was delicious but I think chef was a bit heavy handed, per my taste, with the Maldon sea salt over all. We love that their wonderful coffee comes to the table in its own pot, and water ice cold in a carafe. All in all, another very satisfying experience! read more

We had a great experience! The service was great and the food was super fresh. Grateful for the coffee on the table. The million dollar bacon was awesome to start with. My husband got the chicken chonga with million dollar potatoes and fruit. I got the maple chipotle chicken hash from the season menu with cheesy grits! It was all wonderful! If you are concerned about the wait time, it's a huge benefit to use the in line list on the website while you are driving in! read more

I was visiting a friend and he suggested this because he had never been. We were seated right away but then sat for over 10 minutes before being acknowledged. We finally stopped a server and asked if we had a server for our table. They said they were alert our server. Another server stopped by to say she wasn't ur server about to take drink orders. Then finally our server comes up, with no apology and asked if we were ready to order. Of course we were, we had been sitting for close to 20mins now. The orange juice is not fresh squeezed so I went with an iced tea. I ordered the eggs Benedict plain with no meat and the potatoes. My friend got the farmhouse hash. We both enjoyed our food. The absentness of the server and lack of empathy for waiting around is enough for us to say we won't go back and to not recommend it. read more

The atmosphere in here is cool. Nice vibe! The waiter John seemed like we were an annoyance and never checked in on us about drink refills or how the food was. Besides the subpar service I would say the food was pretty solid! read more

Location is good. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Decent amount of seats and booths. Our waitress was fairly new, so she forgot our water three times, but I understand. Coffee was delicious but really strong. I got a buzz from it, lol. I like how they give you the coffee pot thermal at the table so you can refill your own drink. I also liked the glass that had our water was in, which you can also pour your own water at any time. I was glad I could substitute my potatoes for an arugula salad. I was hoping the omelet would be bigger, like a long rectangular shape, not a half circle, for $15.00. They could have put more chorizo in my omelet. The toast was delicious. My friend got the skillet and asked for the whites to be done and extra crispy bacon, which both were not, unfortunately. The atmosphere was amazing and made you feel like you were at home! Overall, I really appreciate this establishment and can't wait to try other things on the menu. I truly believe we lack breakfast restaurants in Fort Wayne. This place serves breakfast all day long! read more

Really liked the place--clean, minimalistic vibe with a calm, no-fuss atmosphere. The food was solid with a nice mix of options on the menu. Portion sizes are very European (you'll get it once you see the plate), but the flavors make up for it. Despite being pretty busy, the service was surprisingly attentive and friendly. Overall, a great little spot that knows what it's doing. read more

Hubby and I have breakfast for lunch, always a great choice. We had Fritatta Rustica, Multigrain Pecan carrot cake pancakes (2), and a Mint Mocha Iced coffee. The iced coffee was on the seasonal menu, a great tasting choice! Needless to say we had leftovers to enjoy again! The pancake tasted just like a carrot cake, and covered the whole large plate. read more

Always consistently good! Fast service! Love the breakfasts! Love the call ahead seating!

About three months ago, I Ubered their breakfast. It's been three months since I've been thinking about the million dollar bacon. I'm back in town again and I was able to try the million dollar bacon again and now their million dollar potatoes. I will be dreaming about this forever!!! Today I ordered their market hash bowl and it was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! I love their creativity in their meals. All the flavors are so perfectly tied together and made so fresh/ clean. This will forever be my favorite breakfast spot. I just tried their coffee the salted honey one and it was so good. The pancakes are huge!!! their rich 100% pure dark, robust maple syrup is probably the best thing I've ever had paired with their French toast. The quality of their food never disappoints. Let's just say I fly in from Texas for this breakfast! read more

We enjoyed First Watch for brunch in Fort Wayne. The atmosphere is hopping and upbeat. The only complaint from our group was there are not a ton of different options on the menu but the portion sizes are good for prices. I love their juice options! Expect a long wait on the weekend and check in ahead of time, on your way to the restaurant. read more

Second time dining here for breakfast. Really good food and excellent service! Family split the lemon blueberry cornbread and million dollar bacon from the seasonal menu. For entrees had the waffle, banana pancake and chocolate chip pancake. My wife and I had cold brew which was very good. Definitely will come back! read more

I had never been there and thought I would try it. I went in at 2:08pm they close at 2:30 server said was fine. When ready to order there was no one around I had to flag down manager to get server. She suggested a meal for me since I had not been there. When I got the food the hash browns were completely burnt black, I told her they were inedible. 2When she brought me my bill the hash browns were still on it and she thanked me for my patience with the burnt hash browns. So I had to pay for burnt hash browns. TERRIBLE-WILL NEVER GO BACK. read more

My first visit today. I had looked at their menu on line awhile back. A bit spendy for breakfast and also a bit trendy for my taste. But today I want to try something different. I was not disappointed! I had the Maple Bacon Croissant w/potatoes. I also had the Purple Haze to drink. Service was spot on. Love the decor as well. The sandwich arrived hot and the drink was cold. The sandwich was what I expected. Salty, sweet and messy. But oh so good and filling. The potatoes were standard and seasoned fine. The "Purple Haze" was more lemonade with a shot of lavender syrup than juice. For almost $6, it was a spendy glass of lemonade. I will pass the next visit. I have never spent $25 on a breakfast before. I was here on a Tuesday mid morning. I will definitely be back when friends visit for a "special" breakfast. read more

A wrong order was brought to my table two different times. I didn't even get my food until 10-15 minutes after my entire family was already done eating. I have never not been able to eat at a restaurant because they kept screwing up my order. I had to get it to go and eat it at home. They comped my order but the manager didn't even come over and talk to us or apologize. I also ordered gluten free toast and the toast wasn't even right; glad I noticed (because they sure didn't). I really like their food but am hesitant to come back because the service was so abysmal. read more

I have been there three times. The service was quite poor the first two times. The last time it was good. The food is average. I would not go back by choice. read more

Absolutely phenomenal service and food. I have been to many locations around the Midwest and this one lived up to the standards set by the others. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and the food never disappoints. Highly recommend the market skillet! read more

The equivalent of a free hotel breakfast. The food was not worth the price but it was ok. The reason for the bad review was because of the rude service of the staff at the front desk and automatic tip placed on online orders and fees that cannot be changed. Waste of money to tip for rudeness. Will not be coming back. read more

I ordered take out and there was a hair in my eggs & my bacon was burnt. I didn't even want them to remake it because if you would have just checked it before you gave it out, you would have noticed it. They were not even busy at the time, no due diligence. read more

Great service! Terrible food!! This is the 3rd time we have had poorly cooked food! Bacon greasy and undercooked, over easy eggs that were hard cooked, waffle with no syrup, muffin that was cold, etc. We eat at the First Watch in Sarasota at every opportunity. It has never disappointed us. I think I need to give cooking lessons to the local cook at FW. Egads!! read more

Location is too small for the demand. Was told the wait would be "30 minutes" waited for over an hour just be told again that we had to wait until 30 more minutes. Not to mention we had our name on the list prior to our 30 minute drive. read more

Server was somewhat attentive. Food came out cold and was returned only to come back cold again. Was told by server that a manager would be notified. Food was taken off bill and never saw a manager. Cashier asked how everything was and I told her about the experience. She proceeded to roll her eyes like she's done hearing about bad management and or recurring issues. This location is not up to level of all other locations we visit while traveling. read more

Tried to have brunch with my family before My Wife went to work. We requested a table of three and they told us it was going to be a little wait. A lady came in after us and requested a table of two. 10 minutes later they gave the lady that requested 2 a booth. I asked her was that booth big enough for three she said yes that lady was here before you. I said no we watched her come in. She checked her tablet and seen she checked in after us. So the manager came talking about maybe they checked in online I said clearly on the tablet you can see where we came in first. So we left. They lost my business. read more
