Impeccable. I had the breakfast tacos without the meat and the server allowed a substitution so added breakfast potatoes to it. Delicious. The server was excellent and the atmosphere is very nice. Had vegetarian options so I am a fan and will certainly go back. read more

I had the best experience today at First Watch. I was taken care of by a new server named Mike. He was very handsome with beautiful green eyes. He gave us excellent service! He was very personable and took great care of us. The food was delicious as usual. I will be requesting him to serve us every time I go there from now on. read more

This is a really nice place. They have a gluten free menu which is great for me with celiacs. I really enjoyed their food and service and the prices are really reasonable. read more

I just enjoyed a nice lunch here, half a Beefeater sandwich and a half Cobb salad. Delicious! Prior to today I had only been here for breakfast, always excellent. Everything is super fresh. Lots more things on the menu I want to try! read more

I enjoy coming to this restaurant, the food is always so good. This time around I decided to have the trifecta since I was craving the Belgium waffle and my husband gave me his potatoes that were seriously on point! The trifecta came with eggs (requested those puppies over easy, there were a little too cooked but still tasted amazing) and the bacon (always crispy). I tried my kids hot chocolate and it's something that you want Christmas to be here already! Amazingly delicious! My husband had the chickichanga and he said it was pretty good, but he would have added more spice and more chicken. My kids really enjoyed the kids waffle (Belgium waffle) that comes with either bacon or sausage a drink and a side of fruit! Very good deal! And greatly satisfying. I was a bit disappointed at the waitress she was a bit on the dry side, but once the food came it her attitude changed a bit and came a few times to ask if everything was ok. Everyone you pay at the register, not sure why we thought they would come to get the bill and we were waiting for a while until we realized they don't get the bill from the table, dummy us... Oh I left out the seating at this particular restaurant is very farm like! LOVED IT!!! read more

See all

Fantastic!!!! The sausage links were amazing!!! French Toast was equally amazing!! Will definitely return!!

This is my favorite place to eat breakfast. Everything I have ever ordered here has tasted great and the staff is super nice!

Very very good breakfast / lunch. A lot of healthy and yummy elections. You should go with time since it gets really busy, other than that is totally worth to try! Will be back definitely. read more

I have been to First Watch plenty of times and I don't know why I am just writing this now. For anyone who doesn't know, First Watch is a brunch/lunch type place. I usually don't like big chain restaurants because I find their food overly fatty, salty, ect.. However, First Watch is a very nice surprise. They have a large assortment of healthy breakfasts to choose from. If you would rather have dessert for breakfast (i.e. pancakes covered in syrup), they got you covered too. Out of the ones I have been too, they are all staffed by friendly employees. This is one of the few places where I can say I have never had a bad experience. I really enjoy going here for weekend brunch. read more

This place was fantastic! I went with my mother and brother around 10:30 and it was very busy, but they were still quick with seating us and taking our orders. Food was delicious and the place is so cute. Great place with a great menu, if I lived in the area I would go all the time read more

Great food and quality service. I Had the avocado bacon hash and my wife had the florentine style eggs Benedict. Both tasted great, fresh, and were very filling. Direct quote from the wife on this meal, "winning". It's a great place to grab a meal to start the day, be sure to get in a little early as there can be a little bit of a wait. read more

Usually fresh food. Not organic or anything, but for industrial "food" in the USA., this restaurant isn't too bad. Worth a visit. People are nice. Usually have to wait for a table. I hear the pancakes are good. Never will wait. read more

Food here is good and service is great. I'm always greeted with a pot of coffee & I like that the menu offers healthy dishes and still flavorful. read more

Yum yum yum! I was so excited to find a breakfast spot with such amazing healthy options. I love the Smoked Salmon Benedict and the Crepeggs. The fresh juices are awesome as well. This is now a regular spot for us! read more

All I wanted was a properly cooked waffle. We waited at our table for 15 minutes no one greeted us I asked the woman that seated us how long before someone came to our table in order to get served. She came over took our order it took another 5 minutes before the actual waiter came to the table with our drinks. Water and iced tea not even a complicated drink. Another 25 minutes and food finally arrived my waffle was not cooked properly and I didn't eat the soggy mess. It also had a very strong baking soda flavor. Not a good experience and very expensive for that kind of service we won't be going back. First and last time for me. IT WAS THAT BAD! This was three weeks ago on a Sunday and I'm still not happy about that experience, I usually wait a few days to post bad reviews just to be sure I'm not acting out of anger, it was just terrible food and service. read more

Mushroom and squash frittata was ok but not stellar, accompanied by very plain greens and a sliver of buttered sourdough toast that arrived late. Fun friendly service and nice ambience but I've had better at First Watch before. LIKE the totally awesome avocado smash and pumpkin pancakes and root down power drink! Ah well, next time for sure :) read more

A cafe and eatery that serves FRESH REAL food! Very delicious and one of my new favorites restaurants in town with real food!!

Great place for breakfast! The service was pretty good, the host at the front was great!! The food was awesome! I'm glad we arrived when we did.. Around 10am. By 10:30am, there was a line out the door. Speaks volumes! I recommend to all! read more

Frequent flier here on Sunday mornings. The last two Sunday's have been far below par. Today our waitress was full of attitude. She was crappy from the get go, was annoyed the entire time and when she came to ask if everything was ok and I mentioned one meal had not been brought to the table she informed me with her very best "you dumbass" smile it would be there shortly. The prior Sunday when one meal was not delivered with the rest it didn't come until everyone else was finished eating so I was skeptical. Either way, food is good when it makes it to the table, the wait staff could use some training. read more

Wonderful food and great service! This place offers many delicious and healthy savory options for breakfast and lunch. I was just traveling and passing by and I got super lucky to find a place like this to have breakfast with my family. We all love it!!! Even took a loaf of the best wheat bread I've ever tasted! read more

6 stars - amazing breakfast! Highly recommend this location- the food was exquisite. Million dollar bacon!!!

I was absolutely thrilled with First Watch! The environment was clean and peaceful. Our server Denise was wonderful and very attentive. I had the healthy turkey breakfast, and it was amazing! You won't find a better breakfast anywhere else. read more

Great food friendly staff. Worth the wait! The crepes no matter the breakfast or brunch ones are amazing! Eggs Benedict is good. I love all the different varieties they offer of simple breakfast foods! read more

Love the new makeover. The atmosphere is great and greatly needed in fort Myers. They are fast, kid friendly and have great food !

Best breakfast in Fort Myers! There are not a lot of options for good and healthy breakfast in this area and this is by far the best I've had! The menu has so many options for whatever you're in the mood for including healthy options, gluten free options, fresh made juices, and the standard breakfast items too! This is a must if you're in the area. The avocado toast with 2 eggs any way is delicious!! And the hashes are a great mix of lots of your favorite foods all in one. The prices are affordable and the staff are great. I can't wait to come back! read more

Love first watch. But not too happy with the experience I just had. Went in with my friend, there was barley anyone in first watch. We sat there for 30 minutes without being greeted. We both agreed to walk out since we were not getting service. And as we left no one even blinked an eye. Probably will not be back. read more

Fast service. Good food. One of the best First Watch restaurants in SWFL. Always using the yelp app to see the wait time because a good restaurant should get busy! read more

Service is good and fast. Delicious orange juice. My egg was a little raw but they have over easy and over medium so I should have gotten over medium miss communication. The bacon was not consistent. Great flavor and loved avocado read more

Breakfast is fairly easy to do, and First Watch does alright, but its nothing out of the ordinary. While everything is cooked very well, its somewhat bland. Very fresh, however, so its not bad, just, boring. The servers are very friendly and attentive at least, so it makes for a nice place to relax and talk over breakfast. read more

Best breakfast in Fort Myers, our favorite. Tip - there is a first come first serve community table. A great option if the lines are long.

Nothing gluten free about this place. Staff treated me poorly when I asked about gluten free options.

I've had lunch here a couple times, and I've really enjoyed the food. There are lots of options and both times I've been happy with my choice. The service could have been a little better, but wasn't bad considering it was the lunch rush. I had to waive the waitress down to get some napkins, and ask a couple times to get a water refill. Other than those minor issues. I was pretty happy. read more

Overall the food was very good. I have corn allergy and dairy allergy so we had to work with the waiter on getting the right item. However, he was limited in helping me because of company policy. So that was a little uncomfortable. The morning meditation breakfast drink was delicious. I'll come back and try a super food bowl. read more

I'm giving 4 stars for the food and 2 for their service. The place wasn't packed at all that morning but we still had to wait for about 15 min to get seated, which would be totally ok with us if someone at least had said hi to us and asked us to wait a bit... The reason we didn't leave was all those Yelp reviews we had read before that made us think it would be worth waiting. We got noticed about 10 min later while it was only me and my bf waiting to get seated, and then waited for another 5 min to finally get our table. We had their eggs Benedict and avocado toast, and the food was pretty good. The service wasn't as good. The guy brought a coffee cup for my bf with a lipstick on it... yuk... and didn't apologize when we asked him to bring another clean cup. He also forgot about our juices... Then, it took us forever to ask for a check, so we ended up going to the cashier and paying right there. Would I recommend going there? Maybe I'd give them another try since I liked their food, and hopefully we'll get served by someone else next time... read more

For being out of season, customer service lacked and the wait staff were hurried, in anon-peak time, currently slow atmosphere. While the food came quickly, I was not checked on until right before it was time to pay and leave, nor was I asked how things were or if I would like anything additional. I have experienced superior customer service in the past; however, the past few times and now today leaves a lot to be desired....it must be time to start searching for a new establishment to enjoy a meal at - extremely disappointed. read more

A very good place for breakfast! There were many options and price and atmosphere was great. Recommend fresh orange juice.

Super breakfast. Had their day glow juice-delicious. Great menu and wonderful food. A must if you are in the Ft Myers area.

Great place for breakfast! Flavorful food, plenty of coffee, quick service- all good in our opinion. Parma hash yummy and the bacon/cheddar pancake great balance of flavors! Our server Jamie was sweet and well informed about the business i.e. other locations etc a pleasure to chat with. Put this place on your list for breakfast- healthy and not-so-healthy choices guaranteed to please everyone! PS Coffee to go read more

Loved the fruit crepes! Comes with home made granola, fresh fruit and a muffin. Deliciousness!!

Overall a solid place, at times they struggle to put out hot potatoes. I get the same thing every time. The people I am with seem to like what they are eating pretty much every time we go as well. read more
