I always love First Watch, same great service, good food and a welcoming atmosphere. A short wait to be seated but the food can out quickly. I highly recommend read more

I had the trifecta. Two Giant blueberry pancakes with a delicious jam on the side. The sausage patty was deliciously spiced with sage. I asked for my eggs over easy and once again cooked to perfection. The coffee was a strong nutty brew not usually found in breakfast places. I went alone was given a booth and had my food within 10 minutes. read more

Amazing breakfast, market hash and avocado toast are the best will definitely come here again

This places was packed, I wanted to go to another spot close by but they were closed. The restaurant was Bright, had nice decor etc. I ordered The smoke salmon eggs Benedict the first plate I received had eggs that were hard boiled the second plate had freshly made eggs but they used the same toast which was soggy by the time I got it back, Also the raw red onions on top is not a good addition. So yeah something so inexpensive why not make a new fresh dish. This will be my first and last time. Thank you. read more

Great food and wonderful service. The eggs were cooked as I wanted and the wait time for the food was good. I would definitely go back!

Great food, great atmosphere​, great staff. For once I feel good about my breakfast menu selection. Healthy and delicious. I will be back when we come back to town. read more

I didn't realize when they boast "fresh", they mean "fresh from the can". Disgusting.

Joined waitlist online. Worked perfectly and had a table when we got there. Ordered the meditation juice and it was delicious. All of our meals were really good and service was great. read more

They have good food, but the wait can be extreme at times. I love the quinoa bowls and the coffee is excellent. They have a pretty decent variety of menu items as well. read more

I found out about first watch about a couple of years ago and I've been hooked ever since! I usually come to this location because it is always clean, the staff is always friendly, and the food is always yummy! I came to this location two times in one week and definitely recommend asking for Jessica to be your server. She is sweet and efficient! She also remembered that I like an extra ramekin for my ketchup (picky I know, right?). But in all seriousness she's great and so is this place. I'll continue to be a customer of First Watch! read more

I guess "healthier food" can be very good. Of course every dining experience begins with service and the service was extraordinary. Kaley was a true hospitality artisan; prompt,efficient,effective,polite and professional. John, manager in training, showed real hospitality class by stopping by our table to ensure our experience exceed expectations. The food it self was great in quality and portion, providing a real value-based eating adventure. read more

I took my family here for breakfast and they were blown away! We all loved the unique menu items, friendly staff, and great service.

Great organic brunch!!! Very nice environment and tasty healthy food selection Awesome for kids too!

This is an awesome concept but the food wasn't that great. It tasted like mass produced breakfast food. My boyfriend got their athletes egg white omelette and I got their breakfast sandwich. We split one huge pancake. None of the food had any real flavor and was all kind of bland read more

I came on a Saturday. I'd gotten up on weekday time, and I hadn't had breakfast yet, so I was pretty hungry @ 8:45am. I ordered the Traditional Breakfast. Eggs over-easy. They came over-hard with one broken yolk. If the cook didn't care, the waitress should have done. As to the potatoes, I'm not crazy about square chunks of boiled potatoes but they were OK if you like that type. I prefer when they have a little bit of crisp from the frying pan -- home fries. Positives are they leave you a thermos of coffee. It was kind of weak and had that tap water taste, but that's common in restaurants. They also leave you a bottle of chilled tap water. Don't get too excited, I believe the purpose of this is to save on waitress attention, as they give their waitresses a lot of tables and you won't see them again till you get the check. Another positive was gluten-free toast and the preserves in a little dish giving the impression of home-made. I came alone, only because I was starving, but I wouldn't take anyone here. Shoney's or Denny's are as good and are cheaper. IHOP is even better, and they leave a thermos of coffee also. Now if you're one of those Millennials who thinks life is a super awesome experience and everything's just amazing, well come on and help the local economy! Otherwise, find some place that isn't a chain. Or at least a chain that has national standards to maintain. read more

I've tried many things on the menu and they have all been wonderful. Food is great and consistent. Atmosphere is relaxed and good for eating w friends, or even getting some work done. Service is wonderful and staff is very nice and friendly!! read more

This is unfortunate. First Watch is always good food wise, no exception here. The waitress was also very pleasant. However, the way the front desk is handled is a clear indication that this particular location is terribly mismanaged. Terrible experience getting a place in line for no reason other than the seemingly incompetent way the workers are trained and, in one case, the inherent behaviour of the worker. This used to be a great location to get seated quickly, but now you needlessly wait and, if you are lucky, you are berated by a frustrated employee simply for being in the front of the correct line and pointing out that nearly every other customer's name is being taken before you (hi Jenna!). Solutions: 1. Have a sign above eye level, in addition to the one below eye level, designating the cashier and wait list lines clearly. Avoids costumer confusion and employee frustration. 2. Have dedicated hosts/hostesses and dedicated cashiers who are actually trained in their job and are not juggling waiting with the tasks that hosting and ringing up customers entail. 3. If you can't hire dedicated people for hosting and cashiering, then do an overhaul of employee training with a focus costumer service at the front door, not just at the table. The latter is pointless if people leave in disgust before sitting down (Which, btw, a very large number of people in line before us did). read more

Great surprise to find a helthy food restaurant in the US, and is very tasty as well. I took avocado tost and a fresh juice. just awesome. I will come back for sure! read more

Best breakfast I have had in a while. Great food, great people! Bacon to die for. Gotta check it out!

First time trying First Watch when I came down from Kentucky to visit my parents and it was a great experience! I loved the healthy options and alternatives for breakfast/ lunch/ brunch. I loved the juice Kale Tonic! Great options! read more

Worst breakfast I've had in years. Service was slow, but it was their rush so they get a partial pass. $3.25 for a cup of milk. Highway robbery. Pancakes were disgusting. I didn't finish one because they were hard as a rock. Then I asked for hash brown cubes. They brought me just a few potato cubes that unknown to me had onions on them. I know most may like them, I loathe them. Over $30 wasted between two of us. read more

Much better breakfast than last time. Food was served hot, cooked properly and service was better.

Great service and fresh food! We're from Cincinnati and we love going to First Watch from different locations. This location is very spacious and friendly staff. My husband left his wallet and the manager took care of it and sent it to us back in Cincinnati. To the people behind this location, thank you very much. read more

Won't be back to this first watch. Service was absolutely abysmal. We waited 10 minutes for a table to be cleaned, then another hour to get our food as people who came after us were seated, fed and LEFT! We finally had to complain to a manager who brought us food...unfortunately the food was not the quality you would expect from First Watch. I've had croutons that were softer than the brick they served as multigrain toast. My mother's traditional breakfast came out almost inedible and completely mangled. Broken over easy eggs, burnt sausage. It was just overall a very bad experience, especially because we weren't even offered so much as an apology and had to pay full price for food we didn't even get to enjoy. read more

Over a half hour after ordering still waiting on the food. The waiter has yet to stop by again. If you have no where to go you may want to come by for breakfast. Just be prepared to plan nothing for at least 2 hours. Food was good not worth the 30 minutes wait to sit down and over 45 minutes. The waiter finally provided great service and apologized for the extreme delay. read more

I absolutely love this place they have the best staff and always greet me when I come in. The breakfast here is just what I need to get my day started! I love the day glow orange and carrot juice! I come here at least 2-3 times per week and they never fail to keep me coming in! I highly recommend this location and first watch to start your day off right with the healthy choices they have available! read more

Went here twice on vacation. Loved how clean and the atmosphere of the restaurant. Nice and open, didn't feel like I was sitting on top of the other guests. Healthy options, and not so healthy to choose from. The pancakes and French toast were yummy. We also had oatmeal and a couple different muffins. Coffee was good and service was too. Recommend this place for breakfast. Enjoy! read more

Good Food.. wonderful service.. I had the market veggie sandwich with fresh potatoes. I really enjoyed my lunch. I'm going to try breakfast soon. The price is $$ read more

OH YES! Living here part time and in Southern California and South Florida part time, I've loved the First Watch Restaurants (not just any restaurant, mind you ) for years now beginning in Sourh Florida; and now this First Watch is just as incredibly delicious and always satisfies my hunger and delectable palate! Thank you for the wonderful service and the best of the best food!!! I'll continue going to this first watch for more because it's a fun environment, but honestly I go for all the delicious food and unique entrées this First Watch serves as well!!! This First Watch is another Classic Restaurant here in beautiful Brentwood, TN! read more

Just left this location and I'm pondering how this restaurant has such a high rating. I ordered the trifecta... A pancake, sausage, and 2 eggs. My pancake, which was supposed to be plain, was overcooked and had chocolate chips in it. I ordered my eggs scrambled soft with cheese and not only were they overcooked, there were eggshells in it as well. When someone finally decided to come ask me how my meal was (no one had been by since the plate was dropped on my table), I let my waitress know and she had another order made. She came back with another order of overcooked eggs. I was extremely disappointed with not only the service but the quality of the food as well. This is my 3rd time at a different First Watch location and this unfortunately seems to be the prevailing theme. It is unlikely that I will visit one of these restaurants again read more

This clean, spacious and well staffed restaurant has a large menu. I've been to two different First Watch locations and did not enjoy the food either time. I travel to this area frequently and was glad to see a new breakfast spot. Unfortunately, the food and coffee were nothing special. read more

Finally we decided to try first watch for the first time. And i have to say, we're very pleased with that decision. We love the ambience of this particular location, and the food were very satisfying from every aspects ( healthy choice, flavor, and portion). The highlight of our meals were kale tonic, avo toast, and the ABJ waffle. Love love , and definately will try the first watch again! read more

Food is always excellent and service is great! The market skillet is my favorite dish and my kids love the chocolate chip pancakes.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day? Sure. I agree with that. So when I have a bad breakfast, it gets my day off on the wrong note. I'd been a patron at the First Watch on McEwen in Franklin for a good while and always had a mostly good experience. With an office move, that location became a little less practical, and I switched to the location on Meridian. Unfortunately it's been a miss nearly every single time. I continue to modify my morning commute to allow for more and more time. I'm always quoted "15 minutes" on to-go orders, but it frequently takes longer, so I've adjusted. Today set me off though. There were plenty of people working, not too awfully many eating. A server, who for respect of his persona I'll simply refer to as "M" greeted me when I arrived, fifteen minutes after I'd placed my order and asked "oh yeah they're working on it, btw, how would you like your eggs?". I was a little surprised they hadn't called to catch this missed detail. He went to the back and was back there five minutes. He then came out and wiped down two tables, brought out drink refills to one table, to-go boxes to another, and then went back to the back again. Several other wait staff came up and tended to myself and the six or seven other people behind me. They kept saying "They're working on it". I kept eyeing "M" to see if he'd ever come back up, and he would make eye contact and then just walk away and do something else. Then, ten minutes after I'd arrived, he came up and said "Sir was there something I could help you with?". Yes. My order that you said they were working on. He left, and finally another young lady, presumably the one who'd taken my phone in order came out. 15 minutes turned into 30 minutes, and there was no "let me take something off your bill" or "it's on us today". I left, late for work, with a very bad taste in my mouth. The food is almost always lukewarm when I get it, but I can heat it up. Nevermind the fact that no matter what you order, it's 60% carbs and 30% or less protein. Being late for work though, or spending as much time on getting a to-go order as I would just coming in and sitting down and ordering just isn't acceptable. I have noticed both at this location and at McEwen that people don't have responsibilities... they just pick up wherever there's a need. Connor's, just across the street has a specific person to greet, to ring-up to-go orders, and to bring the to-go orders out. Not saying you need three people... but perhaps ONE dedicated individual at the front at all times would be a good idea. read more

They got it right! The service and the food! We loved it! This was a real sweet breakfast. Thank you again, First Watch!

Great spot for breakfast. The omelettes are prepared exactly as I like them and the kids meals are delicious. Very good ice coffee, cheaper and better than Starbucks. I like the fact that they source local and seem to use high quality ingredients in their food. This may be a chain but you wouldn't know it judging by the food. read more

This may be one of the best breakfast spots I've been to, pretty much ever. Everything we've tried is off the hook. Both healthy and delicious, it would rival any of the top spots in larger health conscious cities like LA or Seattle. We will be back often! read more

Good location. Good food. Good staff. Cool Springs keeps going and I always love new places to try. Great place to grab a quick bite to eat!

First time eating here and it was really good. Device was fast and our waitress was great answering questions we had. Our food was as expected when arrived and was delicious. We had the farmers biscuit, a bacon special, kids chocolate pancakes, eggs Benedict and a half salad with half roast beef sandwich. Everything looked and tasted delicious. I'd recommend to anyone wanting a great breakfast, brunch or lunch meal. Edit to add: we also had several fresh juices and the house coffee which were also all really good. read more

So so good and I'm a very sad Birmingham native because we do not have one in my hometown or in Auburn where I am attending college. The staff was friendly, the environment was pleasant and I had the best pancake( I was advised to get one and the waiter was right because they are enormous) and the most wonderful fresh juice I've had in a very long time. I loved the place so much!!! My taste buds are very happy! read more
