First of all, the place is attractive and clean! The clientele is as well! This is in kind of a high-end neighborhood, so submitted by country clubs, and million-dollar homes. Isn't the historic Camp Bowie Boulevard corridor, and there is plenty of parking absolutely free. If you like a really great fulfilling breakfast with healthy choices, this is your place! The waiters and waitresses are on top of your needs, and there's a fresh pot of coffee set on your table in the morning, big enuf that you don't need to ask for refills! The pricing is a little bit above the waffle house down the street, but the quality in the ambience is many many many times better. All I can say is l: no matter how you order your breakfast, it is going to be well done! In the best sense! read more

First Watch - My lady friend and me - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

First Watch on Camp Bowie is a lesson in patience that pays off, mostly. It's a breakfast spot with a loyal following, a small footprint, and a wait that will test your commitment to eggs. Spoiler: it's worth it, with a few asterisks. First, the logistics. The space is cozy, which is a polite way of saying it is not built for large groups or people who like personal space. The wait can be substantial, and the indoor holding area is limited, if the weather is doing something dramatic, you'll want to know that before you commit. The real secret, which I discovered the hard way, is that you can join the waitlist online before you even leave the house. Life-changing information that arrived too late for us. Learn from my mistakes. Once seated, the coffee is hot, the iced tea is fresh, a surprisingly rare achievement at breakfast hours, and the menu has enough options to cause genuine decision paralysis. We ordered two Traditional Breakfasts, both over easy eggs, both crispy bacon. One arrived cooked to absolute perfection, eggs exactly as requested, bacon doing exactly what bacon is supposed to do. The other arrived with eggs cooked firmly over hard. Same table, same order, same server. How does this happen? It is one of breakfast's great unsolved mysteries. The breakfast potatoes, meanwhile, showed promise, well seasoned and flavorful, but arrived in a mixed state of doneness that required careful excavation to find the fully cooked ones. It was less of a side dish and more of an archaeological dig. The third order, the Tri-Fecta, came with a multigrain pancake the size of a small continent, which almost made up for the potato situation. And then there was the Million Dollar Bacon. We didn't order it. The table next to us did. I watched it arrive and I am still not over it. Order the Million Dollar Bacon. Do not make my mistake. Do not be me. First Watch is a solid breakfast spot with real upside, get on the waitlist before you leave home, order the bacon, and maybe double-check your eggs before your server walks away. read more

Service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. Our waitress walked us through the menu, made great recommendations, and checked on us regularly without being overbearing. The food was excellent. I haven't been here in a while, but every time I come back, it's consistently fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The atmosphere is definitely part of the appeal. It's a trendy, energetic brunch spot with great vibes, which means it gets busy. If you're not planning to arrive early, I'd recommend checking in online ahead of time to see the wait times. It's popular for a reason, and absolutely worth the visit. read more

First Watch is a rustic breakfast and lunch spot. This was my first time dining at this location and we were seated without a wait. Or waitress Kimberly gave us some great recommendations and excellent service. I enjoyed the Trifecta breakfast combo- which included carrot cake pecan pancake, chicken sausage and I subbed the eggs for grits. The chicken sausage really stood out to me- it was fresh, well seasoned and tender. Also the grits were the perfect texture and loaded with butter. The carrot cake pancake, wasn't bad, it just didn't give me a carrot cake taste I was expecting. Also the pancake had a lot of raisins- I didn't understand this recipe in comparison with the name. Overall good experience and meal. read more

Went here for my free bday breakfast on Sunday around 1000 and got right in. There is a join the waitlist online but you still have to check in at the hostess desk when you get there.

The service was great and more than anything the restaurant, regardless of it being busy, it stayed clean, and the tables were being wiped down as soon as the customers left to make sure that we're ready for the new customers.

My friend and I meet here once a month for meal and a visit. Service has always been great and food is always good. We always keep an eye on the front door to make sure we don't hold a table if there is a wait. Our meal this week was power wrap and Floridian French Toast. Both were delicious. It took our male server at least 15 minutes before coming to our table. He did take our orders correctly and food arrived with good timing. He checked on us as needed. He dropped off the ticket. We usually pay at the counter. Later he came to ask if we would pay by phone using the QR code. We asked if he would split our check. He brought back two checks but we discovered that they were not our food. We went to the counter to get correct checks. He tried to help us but had to get someone else to do it. Not sure what was the issue but it took at least 5 minutes for us to check out. This was very unusual for this restaurant. read more

Went to a nearby estate sale and needed food! Stopped in here because there's usually a new menu item I can try. Sure enough there was a new seasonal menu with quite a few new entrees. No wait and we were seated right away. Our waitress came over minutes later to take our drink order and shortly after our entree order. While waiting for our food it was awfully cold. Luckily my friend had a jacket for me to borrow. Also it's usually packed so the noise level is quite loud. Today I went with the honey chicken chipotle bowl. Eggs prepared over easy and it all came out just right! Full of flavor and the slightest hint of spice. First Watch is always a good decision! read more

Sat at the bar and had a great experience! The bartender was super attentive and provided excellent service throughout my visit. The food was fresh and tasty, and everything came out quickly. My only wish is that they offered a few more coffee drink options besides regular coffee -- that would make the experience even better. Overall, a great spot for breakfast or brunch! Tip, add your name to the wait list ahead of time as the wait can be long depending on your party size. Place is loud as it's always packed, but worth the wait and ambiance. read more

Another great visit with the family! Very nice & efficient service. Always relaxing atmosphere. Kids menu is a great option and portion. Love the lemon ricotta pancake with my Tri-fecta plate; chicken sausage was very tasty and eggs were good quality. The steak omelette special with potatoes and spinach was amazingly delicious and a large portion with fried egg. The best coffee in town; medium roast yum. The eggs, bacon, with sourdough bread & fruit cup was perfect for our 7 y/o. Will definitely be back to our bfast & brunch spot! read more

There's nothing better than a First Watch Avocado Toast. Always been my favorite. Million dollar bacon is a must. I can't recall the girls name but we had her twice and she was on top of all the requests. I still miss Becky but she's moved on. Place is always busy and rustling. Not loud but don't go for a quiet breakfast. read more

On my first visit, I came with a friend, and our server was fantastic. She was friendly, personable, and attentive, providing excellent customer service (I wish I had caught her name, but she mentioned she enjoys anime after she complimented my baby's Akatsuki bib). I tried The Works Omelet paired with a Pineapple Express, and it was quite tasty, especially with some Cholula sauce. My friend, who had been there before, ordered a frittata and coffee, both of which she enjoyed. During my latest visit on May 21, 2025, the staff was just as welcoming, seating me at a table while I waited instead of making me sit on the bench by the front desk, which I appreciated since many places require you to wait until your whole party arrives. My friend stuck with her usual order and loved it, along with her coffee. I went for the same choices again--the Works omelet and Pineapple Express. The omelet was delicious, and the Pineapple Express was just as refreshing as I remembered. This really highlights their consistency in food and drinks. Our server was friendly. If you haven't had the chance to dine here yet, I highly recommend it. They offer fantastic food and outstanding customer service. read more

Had such a great meal here. I ordered the kale tonic. It was very tart and I mean that in the best way. The carne asada tacos were very good. For my real entree I had the double bacon Parmesan hash. Now this comes with a LOT of arugula, which I hate. However, the hash was really good once I picked all of that off. I'd definitely come again and try more things read more

Great breakfast as always. Wife had the Farmer's Skillet and I had the Rustic Frittata with a side of potatoes. Both meals were great and we plenty of leftovers for tomorrow's breakfast. Our server was Sydney and she was excellent. Pleasant and helpful. We look forward to our next visit to First Watch. read more

Decent breakfast place. Downside is that it's always extremely hard to be seated during weekends because they are always so busy. It took our waitress forever to get to us once we were seated. I ordered a drink that came when my meal did almost 30 minutes later. Then, when I wanted a second, that wasn't an option because she came back with the check already. I also asked for no onions but there were onions. When I told the waitress about it, she said onions are mixed in with the potatoes and she had forgotten to tell me when I ordered and asked for none. She did however compensate me with a free blueberry muffin but she said taking it off the bill or replacing it for free was not an option. Parking is terrible in the area. There are too many businesses around and it's overcrowded. I had to park about 3 businesses down because there is never parking in the front since they are so busy. read more

I usually don't leave reviews, but after the last 3 visits I have to say something. Every single time I've ordered pancakes here, something has been baked into them that absolutely should NOT be there. I'm not talking about toppings--I mean random, unwanted stuff inside the batter itself. The first time I let it slide. The second time, I was already questioning things. But the THIRD time?? At that point it's clearly not a one-off mistake--it's a consistency problem, and not in a good way. It honestly makes me question the kitchen standards and attention to detail. Pancakes are one of the most basic items on the menu, so if that's being messed up repeatedly, what else is going on back there? Really disappointing because I used to enjoy coming here, but after three bad experiences in a row, I won't be ordering pancakes again--and honestly, I'm reconsidering coming back at all. read more

We were seated immediately, but it did take quite some time to get our orders taken and get our food. The outside seating was really nice, as well. The pesto chicken power bowl was AMAZING. If I could get that every week, I definitely would. Overall, I would definitely come again, but maybe pick what you want on the way to the restaurant to save some time. read more

I have been here for breakfast on several occasions. The food is always good, albeit a tad pricey IMO. We have had both excellent and so-so service which is the main reason that keeps it away from 5 stars for me. On busy weekends you can expect a line, although First Watch does offer a "get in line" option through Yelp which is supposed to let you get your name on their list before arriving. Not sure how or if it really works as the only time I tried it, when we got to FW there was no line. But hey, it cannot hurt to try and it's a cool thing for them to offer. All in all First Watch is a solid, upscale place to grab a bite to eat. read more

We stopped by before getting back on the road to head home. We ordered the fresh juice (Morning Meditation), pancakes and bacon, and I got carne asada breakfast tacos. The service was quick, they were polite and the food was great. They even have flavored creamers at the table which is a major bonus for me. Hazelnut & French Vanilla. The next time I'm in the area I'll definitely return. read more

I took my granddaughter for breakfast and it took 30 minutes to get her 1 pancake!!!! Our waitress brought my plate out and I wasn't going to eat before my granddaughter got her food...my food was cold by the time she got her 1 pancake! In the meantime, our waitress kept bringing us bacon to appease us. I counted & we ended up with 17 pieces of bacon and still no pancake Ridiculous! And it wasn't even crowded...no excuse! Will not be returning:( read more

We stopped here for brunch and it was an excellent choice. We were seated immediately and had a very friendly waitress. I ordered the lemon pancakes, with bacon and eggs.

The price was very reasonable, and we will definviait again when back in FW. read more

First Watch is my go-to breakfast place in Fort Worth. The prices are reasonable, and they use high-quality ingredients. I love their seasonal options. They are always written brightly on their wall chalkboard and very tempting. I recommend ordering from there if you're overwhelmed by choices on the menu. My long-time favorites, however, are the lemon curd pancake, chicken sausage, their breakfast potatoes, and their morning meditation juice. This is a breakfast that will fill you and make you do a little happy dance. I also love their seeded house bread. Over the years, I've noticed their service can get poor if you're there when the waiting line is very long. I prefer to go earlier in the morning on weekends before the craze. Unfortunately on those days, the food can take a very long time and the food might arrive cold. Last time, we didn't bother sending back because we were so hungry. In sum, come early to enjoy the delicious food without overwhelmed staff. read more

For starters signed up on wait list took an extra 30 min. After arrival. Sat us in direct sunlight no shade. Asked to be moved sat someone else on our table...another 20 min later gave us someone else's seats. Gave us our drinks pretty fast and then another 18 min later take our order. Seriously checked in on the waitlist at 11:15 am. Placed order at 12:28 pm food arrived at 12:41..Seriously worst place ive been too. Left at 12:55 pm. Never again. read more

Overall, this place has good food and is worth a try! I had to remove a star because it was difficult to find parking for the restaurant; there aren't that many parking spots nearby and the ones that are there go quickly! After inside and seated I decided to try two items from the new seasonal menu that was offered: the mint mocha iced coffee and the cinnamon chip pancake breakfast. I rarely if ever drink coffee, but I really enjoyed the drink. The pancake breakfast was plentiful and everything was tasteful. Also, the server was very pleasant and helpful. read more

We came in and were greeted by the host, who was polite and welcoming. However, when I asked a woman with red locs about our reservation after waiting 15-20 minutes, she responded with some attitude, which felt unnecessary. Once we were finally seated, the experience didn't improve. The server who seated us was noticeably rude, and another server who took our drink order acted like she didn't want to be there--unfriendly and disengaged. On the bright side, the food was excellent. We ordered the shrimp and grits along with the tres leches French toast--both were flavorful and honestly the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, while the food delivered, the customer service fell way short. Because of that, there's only a slim chance we'd return to this location. read more

I came here with a friend for my birthday! We did not have reservations but the wait wasn't horrible, probably about 20 minutes. They had a large selection of vegetarian options. I chose the avocado toast and asked to have scrambled eggs. I also had the watermelon drink, which was one of their specials. Both items tasted really good. The watermelon was very fresh. We both really enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant as well. Another thing that was really convenient was that there was enough parking in the area. my friend that took me here had been here before and said she really loves it. I would definitely come here again because they had so many different options to choose from. read more

I had great expectations for this place and was very happy to see a location close to home, the service was awesome I do not remember the name of my waiter but he had a mustache, recommended a few specials and was super nice. I loved the pancakes, so fluffy and flavorful, did not even needed to put syrup, but I ordered the carne asada skillet and was disappointed, it was extremely greasy and salty the eggs and potato's were ok, it was not bad but not what I have expected. read more

We had breakfast at First Watch on 1/2/25. We were seated in a timely fashion. Our server, Dylan, was friendly and took great care of us. He was newer to the restaurant and was being trained by Erica. Erica is a GEM! What a gorgeous, friendly smile. She was a kind and helpful trainer -- not over-bearing in any way that we could see. The food was tasty! We enjoyed our morning SO much. Thank you all y'all! **it would have been nice if someone had greeted us when we first came in. It was busy, and it seemed like the servers just didn't make eye contact until they were ready to come up to the check-in desk. Even if they're busy with someone else, it would be nice to have that "Welcome In!" kind of look-you-in-the-eye and smile** read more

Set reservations- very EASY RESTAURANT was SUPER PACKED gave host my name and I was seated in seconds. I loved how friendly the host & staff was.

(Impressed so far) Our server was SO FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL I wish I recalled his name. He had other tables and never missed a beat on refills etc. Food was good and very reasonable. My eggs were hard, I asked for soft scrambled eggs....simple mistake . I didn't complain at all. Made a mental note that if I returned I'd make sure to be on it for the next time. Holey donuts - JUST RIGHT - delicious. A fun appetizer Brooklyn sandwich w/greens on the side was delicious too. My hubby loved it. Cozy little spot for gatherings. Family/kid friendly. I would recommend. I will be back soon to try other items. read more
