Food was absolutely outstanding once again. This location had fantastic service from our waitress all the way to the Manager. They were attentive to my eggs and getting them exactly the way I want them after a few tries they comped the eggs cause it took them three tries as they were undercooked both times , (the kitchen was extremely busy ) as a Patreon, We have to have patience sometimes for such a great restaurants like this , I , 100% would go back every time I visit !! I eat at most first watches throughout the country. The ambience was awesome, clean had a great vibe and feel in there ,....It's 100% one of the best breakfast chains ,still ...in most areas of the country !! Again,I highly recommend trying all the new highlighted dishes as they change frequently Again!! thanks to the management team and staff. I will be back again. read more

I had visited this First Watch in Ft. Myers a few times, but it was quite a while ago. It is a friendly, pleasant, breakfast and lunch restaurant, it is very casual and relaxing. The food is excellent, I love the Belgian Waffle and they even warm the maple syrup. I always request a booth when I meet my friends. I am writing this because they redesigned the room and all the booths are now next to a kitchen entrance. It was so noisy I could not enjoy my conversation. I was told a door was to be installed to prevent the noise, there is the main entrance to the kitchen much further away. I hope the owner sees this, it is a shame the door was not installed. I will return if a door is installed. read more

First Watch - Salmon Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ft. Myers, Florida

People were friendly, service was good. For My husband's BLTE, he didn't want the egg, just a good BLT, after reading about the fabulous bacon they have, was very disappointed, 2 small burnt pieces of bacon, 2" of lettuce and tiny slice of tomato. The bread was good. I asked for a PLAIN iced coffee, arrived with cream and flavoring, way too sweet. read more

First Watch - Veggie Omelette with goat cheese, grits & whole grain toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ft. Myers, Florida

Looking for a great breakfast, brunch, or lunch place? Look no further than here - First Watch will satisfy on all levels. Surveying their menu, I noticed their seasonal offering of the "short rib omelette ". The ingredients sounded tasty and intriguing - I mean short ribs in an omelette?? ... what culinary genius! I passed on potatoes and toast and went with their "greens" as my side. The omelette arrived fresh and hot off the griddle. My first taste can best be described as "WOW!" The omelette consists of short ribs braised in red wine, house-roasted shallots and Crimini mushrooms, fresh spinach and mozzarella cheese, and topped with Parmesan cream sauce and fresh herbs. The combination of all these made for an amazing taste! The organic greens with lemon dressing was a perfect pairing for a very satisfying meal. Our server was polite, courteous and friendly. I like that you're greeted when you walk in and wished a happy day upon leaving. If you haven't been here I highly recommend you check them out - and try their short rib omelette (thank me later, ha!). read more

Lunch here was awesome! 2 adults, 2 Three Year Olds and baby had a really great Brunch together. Very accommodating to kids- kids coloring placemat and a 3-pack of crayons, kids lidded cups with bendy straws and a nice selection of kid friendly foods. Kids got a giant and I mean GIANT chocolate chip pancake $5.99. It was the size of the plate- plenty for each of the 3 year olds. We don't eat meat so we subbed fruit for the bacon or sausage side- easy! Kids also wanted cheese yet scrambled eggs ($5.50= $3.8 for eggs and $1.7 for cheese) Skip the $5.5 eggs thing amazing. Kids ate. They were Happy = enjoyable brunch for the adults. 2 Mimosas were ordered for the adults! Fresh squeezed and I mean FRESH deliciously squeezed OJ with an individual bottle of Barefoot Bubbly. $8 each Recommend! Salmon and Veg Frittata was good ($11.8) The creme fraise was perfectly placed and balanced the frittata out. Salmon was a little dry and flavorless but the shallots made up for the lack of salmon flavor. Good but I won't get it again. Once is enough Crab and Avo Toast ($14) was excellent! Plenty of avocado and a good portion of crab. Side of eggs over easy and it was a delicious balance of protein and carbs! This I will get again! It says seasonal/special on the menu- hope it makes the cut and stays for a long time. read more

I called up to the restaurant about 8:30, one of the servers picks up. I try to place my order, she hangs up on me. I call back, she answers, has attitude because she doesn't want to take my order, I start to speak and hangs up on me again. Called back again, same thing. I drive to the restaurant to place my order which was a Benedict BLT. The food took about 15/20 minutes, the manager (super nice guy) brings my food and offers me a coffee for the inconvenience. I get home (7 minutes away) open my food and it looks like someone literally threw it into the to go box, absolute disaster, not to mention, it's cold. Not lukewarm, cold cold. Eggs, bacon, hollandaise- cold. The arugula was beyond wilted, also thrown around like a dog plated it. The ciabatta they gave was a literal brick, I couldn't even get my steak knife through it. It took serious work to get one bite much less finish the dish. I scarf as much down as I can, Then I open up the "salad" ... good Lord, there was literal dead black leaves all through it, half dressed and lukewarm. Absolute disaster of an experience. read more

We managed to get in and out of this First Watch location within an hour or so on a Sunday around 10:30am, which is pretty amazing. Our service was quick & the food was great, the only issue I can see arising ever is the entry- there is little space for those waiting for a table and those attempting to cash out. read more

Best carrot cake pancakes ever!!! Every time I come to this place that's what I order, they are massive, delicious and so cheap! If I recall correctly it's about $5 for one and $7 for 2. Also ordered the frittata which was good, but nothing compared to the pancakes. To drink, their morning meditation juice is my fav Make sure you get early cuz after 11, you will need to wait in line read more

Went there bc they advertised BringFido .. nope! Paid extra for "million dollar bacon" didn't get it.. ordered a skillet breakfast and there no cheese.. and the potatoes hard in the middle undercooked.. Get your act together First Watch! So painful bc I always loved First Watch but they have gone wayy downhill Can I get my tip back? Sheesh read more

Nice variety on the menu. I had the turkey club and soup and it was delicious. It was a lot of food. Service was good.

Best brunch place! Ingredients are always fresh and service is top notch. My favorite item on the menu are the avocado toast and Havarti Sandwich with tomato soup. The pick two on the menu is always a win-win as you get to try two for the price of one! Don't forget to add holly donuts to your order ... They are delicious read more

This place is awesome! Great option if you're looking for breakfast across Florida. Also - a great plus is that they have the Yelp Waitlist option - so no need to wait forever for a table! Our server and the hostess were both very friendly and everything came out quickly. I ordered the breakfast tacos which came with a side of black beans and pico de gallo. Everything was flavorful and incredibly filling. Their bottomless coffee was flavorful and much better than you get at most breakfast spots. They even leave the coffee pitcher your table for unlimited refills. I recommend the First Watch location on MacGregor and plan to go back next time I'm in Florida! read more

The atmosphere is farmhousie which adds to the breakfast feel and loud enough to feel like you're part of something fun. The service is attentive and friendly!which is a feat given how busy it is Start with Million Dollar bacon if they have it. It's candy made from a pig. It would be perfect with just a touch less pepper, but complex and delicious, like ballet to alternative music! The avocado toast is iof the hook! It's fresh, tasty and surprisingly filling. Avocados sourced locally are a must have. The French toast is breakfast desert and perfect for anyone in the mood for sweet instead of savory. And the waffle is fluffy and tasty! Came back the next day and had a yummy salad chicken avocado chop. Go for it!! read more

This is the third First Watch we've visited, and it was wonderful like the others. I actually went in to get my free birthday breakfast, and got exactly what I wanted (pancake with taters) at the advertised price ($0.) My wife got a salad --huge with some chicken--and a juice. I tried something that sounded delicious---a carrot cake pancake---but was kind of disappointed with it. You can actually see, and chew on, the pieces of carrots. I prefer a smoother pancake experience, so next time I'll go back to the regular multi-grain variety, which are enormous and delicious. I can't 'fault' First Watch for this, it was my choice. I also liked the fried potatoes, but I sure wish they would serve hash browns; they're so much better. The highlight of this visit was our server, a fellow named Brandon. He was so friendly, and so helpful. His positive energy turned a good visit into an outstanding one. I hope his attitude and work performance is recognized by the company; employees like Brandon should be treated like gold. Of course, our overall price, after the discount, was reasonable and as expected (no surprises or "hidden fees.") Another positive experience at First Watch. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Great food. I enjoy the one in Greendale Wi and in Florida. Not sure if yelp will delete my review because they deleted my review on Rustys in Cape Coral, FL when I very politely said we waited 15 minutes before anyone ever approached us and the same for another couple. Rustys must pay a lot of money to yelp. Another misused social media website. read more

I love all first watch restaurants. They are always delicious. I love their seasonal menu. Fresh pressed juices are always good. The coffee is to live for you can tell it's freshly brewed every day, but the taste of it is so good on its own. I always look forward to coming here for a great breakfast or lunch. I'm always excited to see what is new for the season. read more
