Great place to go for breakfast, easy to get to, location is near so many stores. Try the Tri-Athelete or the Power Wrap if you're feigning egg whites with a healthy kick. Healthy Turkey and Lean Machine are great tasting as well. Unlimited coffee and water equal a great breakfast. read more

Amazing place never disappointed in their service or their food. Friendly, efficient and quality made to order meals. My family and I eat at least one time each week here and always have a great experience. This is our favorite place to eat in Fort Myers and it's great that they have so many locations. read more

Food is always good pick up is very poorly organized. No curbside delivery if you do not go in you will never get your food

As promised, I would submit a review after re-visiting. Now to be fair we did go to a different location. We went to the location off of six mile cypress and Dani. We sat outside in a lovely alcove. Dillon, our server was attentive and took good care of us. When we kept running out of milk from the small containers we were brought a cup of milk so we could freely add milk to our coffee. We were not rushed as we were sitting with friends we hadn't seen for awhile. Three people had breakfast and I had half a soup and half sandwich which was delicious. Good job, first watch read more

Breakfast was different and delicious. I'm glad we listened to the other reviews and tried this place out. read more

Don't have time for detailed review but wow ! What chain breakfast restaurants in a modern health aware society should aspire to be. I wish we had this in gulf breeze Florida. Juiced carrot and ginger, kale salads, avocado and egg over whole grains. We have wild roots on the beach but they don't have the on site seat in and vibe to really take off. read more

Waffle and breakfast tacos was very good. The corn tortillas were toasted which made them taste real good considering I normally go for flour, waffle was fluffy and toasted to the right crisp. Highly recommended. read more

This place smells so good when you walk in: like breakfast is the happiest meal of the day. Coffee was delicious, and they left a carafe of coffee and water on the table for us. The Turkey sausage links were fantastic, eggs over easy were perfect and I got them with fresh mixed baby greens. Perfect breakfast. Good service. Next time we're in town, def gonna eat here again. read more

This place has never failed my expectation. The wait staff is great. The food is amazing everytime. They are quick, clean, nothing to not love. The avocado toast is AWESOME, Florida French Toast is amazing, chocolate chip pancakes are great. Love this place read more

Food is outstanding. We had the avocado hash, bacon onion hash and choc chip pancakes. Didn't expect such huge portions but the quality is really good. Bacon is higher quality we noticed ;-) thicker, leaner and less salt. Delicious. Prices are really good too. Thumbs up here! read more

First Watch - Huge choc chip pancakes! Couldn't finish even though they were soooooo good! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ft. Myers, Florida

Went in to have lunch today which the wife and I have done 4-5 times in the last 2 months. Upon entering we were told we must where a mask to be seated at which time I explained I have a health reason for not wearing. The greeter got the manager who told me I cannot enter without a mask and refused service. This is a direct violation of ADA law and my constitutional rights. I would avoid going here if you are an American with a disability.. I will be calling their corporate headquarters and the authorities for the ADA violation. Don't know if they're aware the state of Florida and Lee county have NO MASK MANDATES! read more

Wow, wow, wow!!!! Love the décor, the vibe, the food!! Our waitress was awesome! We stopped by on our way to Fort Lauderdale to go on a cruise. Our daughter had insisted that we stop by since she had such a great experience the last time she had dined at First Watch. Since we are from Richmond, VA, we do not have a First Watch so it was a great day to have the opportunity to tryout the restaurant. read more

So so so good. Fresh ingredients make such a huge difference. I ordered the Parma Skillet Hash and everything was grilled perfectly. The italian sausage wasn't run of the mill sliced links. It's freshly ground chunks that add a touch of smoky flavor. It's clean, well staffed with friendly servers, and reasonably priced. Just can't say enough. I've been to other venues(Another Broken Egg, Wild Eggs) that have a similar atmosphere and vibe but First Watch might have them beat. I've never had lunch items so I can't vouch for that side of the menu, but breakfast is on point. read more

Varied menu. Good service. Our pancakes and French toast were delicious. "Million Dollar Bacon" doesn't live up to its hype, however.

We have come here before and find it to be a better choice for breakfast than the local IHOP or Perkins. Food tastes fresher too. Coffee is mediocre. However, I am picky when it comes to coffee. Everywhere gets a passing grade as long as it isn't terrible. This time around I got the Trifecta. The banana granola crunch choice for multigrain pancake was excellent. The banana pieces were sweet which really balanced out the rest of it. There was only one pancake approx 6-8 in in diameter, versus a stack. On the bright side it is all filling, but not over filling. Which seems to fall in line with their attempts to serve relatively healthy dishes. The atmosphere feels like a diner, yet the decor looks like some attempt to mimic Cracker Barrel. I don't go there for the decor, I go there for a healthy breakfast to start my day. I plan on going again in the future. read more

I come here for breakfast on the weekends. The food is delicious, healthy, affordable, and fresh. The service is impeccable. If they ever make a mistake, they always convey a heartfelt apology, followed by a generous offer to correct their mistake. They accommodate guests expediently during busy hours. 5 stars! read more

Met friends for lunch after driving over from Fort Lauderdale. Conveniently located on Tamiami Trail in College Parkway Plaza. Great food and excellent service. I had "The Works" omelette with fruit. Decaf coffee was fresh and warm. Our server was very friendly, patient, professional, attentive; a delight. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food. Excellent experience. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious every time! You really can't go wrong with First Watch. I usually order one of the skillets and they're all sooo delicious for different reasons. You can't make a bad decision with any of them however. When I'm in a vegetable mood, I order the market skillet hash. When I'm feeling a more heartier side, I get the farmhouse. Both so satisfying, I recommend trying both!! I also thoroughly enjoy their french toast and if I'm feeling hungry, I'll get a slice on the side with my skillet. I always leave happy and full!! read more

has a really good atmosphere. wide variety of food options, including healthy and vegan options. food portions are just right and taste very fresh. coffee was amazing. the wait time was not bad at all and the community table is an amazing idea and you are able to dine with very pleasant people. read more

Everything was so great, we really wanted a bottomless mimosa bar but regardless, opted for a farm to table place, and this place did not disappoint. The avocado toast changed my life! read more

Love the healthy food choices for this place. Worth the short wait for seating and choic s for the whole family.

They did it again! Another great breakfast--came out hot and in a speedy fashion! These folks have consistent good service and great food! Their English Muffins are especially good! read more

My favorite breakfast place in Ft Myers. Great grilled English muffin. Great friendly service at a reasonable price. Very clean and free wi-fi. read more

Delicious. Had the avocado toast with sourdough and 2 eggs. Yum! Service is excellent. Food is excellent. Love First Watch! Antonet was a really nice server as well. read more

One of my fave bfast places when i'm in ft myers after a bike ride! :)

My parents and I ate brunch around noon today. Our waitress was incredibly unfriendly and inattentive. My mother asked a question about a selection and the waitress acted like it wasn't her responsibility to address menu inquiries. She served our drink and food with missing items such as lemons, iced tea and syrup in a untimely manner. I had the biscuits and gravy which was barely warm and seasoned potatoes which were undercooked. This experience certainly was not worthy the cost. I've have had a better dining experience at a nearby gas station! read more

Always excellent. Great food and friendly service. Having worked in food service during college, I know the challenges and First Watch runs like a fine watch. The other day, when it was very crowded, Shawn took our food order to speed things up once we were seated. Also, try the new twist on an old fav., they serve a BLT on toasted whole grain bread and add fried egg. It was YUMBO! Service from Brad is a treat! read more

My favorite First Watch location! The food is consistently good at the other stores but this location still has the ceiling tiles! Yes they're ugly but they keep the noise to a comfortable level read more

Decent coffee, great range of menu, delicious juices, and the food I had here was such high quality and well executed!

Wondering what all the customers saw in this restaurant, not the food my wife and I ordered. First the good, coffee is strong, if you like McDonalds coffee you will love theirs. My wife had Parma Hash, Italian sausage had a overpowering sage taste and was crumbled to the point where you couldn't pick it out of the potatoes. She asked me to help her finish her plate but after one bite I said no thank you. I had the Avocado, Bacon, and Tomato Hash with two eggs basted. Plate came with one egg yoke broken and over cooked. Three of the smallest pieces of avocado I have seen and a majority of potatoes that were tasteless. With coffee and a tip the bill was close to $30. I'll make the extra drive to the Sunflower Cafe from now on. They may have decent food here, what we ordered was not worth coming back. Waitress was friendly, side of fruit cup was the only bright spot of this breakfast. read more

Always a clean, solid restaurant for breakfast and lunch . Good, attentive wait staff...

This place is number one for food and quality...the service is great as well...the only problem is they close at 2:30pm so you have tho get there and not dilly dally..lol..healthy and tasty!! Too busy eating to write more :) read more

BLT Benedict? One of the specials featured for the day. Tasted just like a delicious BLT with poached eggs and hollandaise, or just like a super, wonderful BLT with the best tomato of the summer. I love First Watch in any city along I-75. I'm a huge fan and they rarely disappoint. I agree with another post, coffee is a miss, but I always get iced tea. Wheat germ pancake is crunchy wonderful. I'll keep telling you, get in there! 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

The best breakfast experience I've found so far in Fort Myers. If you're looking for a traditional breakfast try the triathlete!

Very good chain restaurant it doesn't seem like a chain at all the food is always fresh and tasty they give good sized potions and the price is to bad my brother in law always stops by when he is in town read more

Just had breakfast at this restaurant. When the food came I was shocked! It was obvious that everything had been scattered across the plate to look like the plate was full,it wasn't. Most of the food was cold, eggs were not cooked as ordered and the portions were SMALL! The manager was sitting at a table close by doing his paperwork, however did not ask how things how the food was. Even when I tried to engage him in conversation, he did not want to be bothered-- no personality! Will not go back! read more

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!
