    AM Superfoods Bowl Avocado Toast Original Iced Coffee
    Debi O.

    We had a very nice breakfast at this First Watch location. The food was super good. The coffee was as well. Our server was so good, attentive and pleasant.

    Elote Breakfast Burrito

    I've been here several times so it's about time I wrote a review... I usually avoid chains, but this place is always pretty solid. You can reserve a spot online through their app, but it doesn't seem to speed up your seating time, from what I've observed. The tables are well spaced out, so you don't feel cramped. I think I've had just about everything on the regular menu and it was nice to see some seasonal specials. This time I had the Elote Breakfast Burrito and it was very good. The coffee is just okay. Service this time was excellent, but in the past it's been inconsistent. Family own places are usually my first choice, but I will definitely be back here.

    Tri Fecta

    Though this First Watch is a but of a distance from home, I love stopping by when I'm in the area. The restaurant itself is clean and I love the decor. We ordered the Trifecta and Chizoro Omelet. Both were great- I think my favorite part of both was the jams / fruit compote - they were great! The staff was friendly and helpful. Our waitress came and checked on us periodically and ensured we were enjoying our meal. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

    Perfect for outdoor dining if you have dogs. Early Friday morning. No one else outdoors. Ordered the biscuits & turkey gravy - delish & of course the Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes - so good. Thank you First Awakenings. Excellent customer service.

    Came in after church, got here at the right time. Getting busy but seated right away. Service was excellent and quick. Food was served quickly as well and was very good. Ordered the fall special pumpkin pancakes with natural maple syrup, eggs and pork sausage. Great taste of fall. We also ordered what tres leches strawberry French toast. Sweet and delicious. All the employees seemed to be working hard and the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated.

    Pumpkin spice donut holes

    Hey Yelpers! This spot had some high reviews on here, so the fam and I decided to check it out yesterday. One great thing is that you can go on their website and check in early, with an estimated wait time. When you get there, they had a nice little coffee setup near the door to get a little shot of coffee to tide you over. The food was pretty good. The wife and daughter shared the smoked salmon and roasted veggie frittata. The flavor kinda underwhelmed them. It looked nice, but coulda used something other than the sour cream on top to accentuate it. I suggested a balsamic drizzle, but that would have to be for a different time. We added on a side of smoked salmon for me and it tasted delicious. A nice size serving of it as well! The pumpkin spice donut holes we ordered as a "dessert" were nice and warm with an excellent flavor. They come with a crème anglais dip and a warm caramel dip that both went well with the holes. As for the service, our server did a great job overall. She did vanish for a moment at the end when we needed a to go box, but I'm sure she was just busy. Overall, this is a good brunch spot. They have a great looking menu with a lot of delicious sounding dishes. Give them a try (and if you get the salmon frittata, as for some balsamic!).

    The Works Omelet (I enjoyed a piece of toast and fresh strawberry jam)
    Tisha R.

    First time at this location and I love the decor and vibe. (The music was a little loud for me.) The hostess Janett greeted us warmly and we were seated upon entrance even before the waiting list texted us. Yes, I got in line ahead of time. :-) Our server, Morgan is great! She came right over after we were seated. I asked for her recommendation between two options and went with her suggestion. The Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl was different but delicious. It's a first but I would get it again. It was very tasty. The other selections were The Works and Carne Asada Hash. My daughters loved their choice.

    Million Dollar Bacon
    Matt Z.

    Birthday brunch to celebrate my wife's birthday and the food doesn't disappoint. The Elote Breakfast burrito is the best seasonal item on the menu right now. All the flavors are perfectly balanced. Million dollar bacon is a staple when we come to First Watch. The place was packed for Saturday but we were seated promptly and our sever was great.

    Bacado Omelet
    Nicole G.

    We walked in and were seated within a few minutes. Busy restaurant but our server took good care of us. Large portions and great, healthy selections. It's is an open restaurant so it can be a little loud but you can definitely still have a private conversation.

    SoCal hash
    David B.

    We visited First Watch for the first time on a Weds and the place was almost full at 10 AM (Good sign). The place was clean and it had a neat ambiance (there is also outdoor seating). We ordered the SoCal Hash (bacon, chicken, peppers, black beans in a potato hash with eggs and avocado on top), Bacon Cheddar Cornbread, Cheesy Grits and a fruit bowl. Menu was large and it was hard to choose. The SoCal Hash was excellent and highly recommended and is enough for two people to split. The cornbread was very good and a large portion. The side of grits was average and I would not recommend. They never brought out the fruit bowl and they never noticed. Don't be in a hurry because the service is very slow but the food is freshly made. Of note they are only open until 2:30. Overall it was a mixed bag but I will probably give them another chance.

    French toast and the breakfast burrito!

    Do you have pozole?

    It is not on the current menu

    You need to fix your address on your website. It states 5609 W Bell Rd, and it's 15609 W Bell Rd. Which is correct?

    We went to: 18255 N 83rd ste 106 Glendale AZ 85308

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    I asked and was told no.....but if you brought yours they would not make you leave. I think it would be risky to bring your dog.

My friend got the white beans soup and was quite content with that. Went a second time with two friends for dinner but was disappointed there were no booths so it was hard to buffer the noise from a long table where there were squealing children so it was not a dining hour atmosphere like we were expecting wherein we could have quiet conversation and savor Mediterranean food since it felt like a lunch room, so we had to leave before ordering, but by golly, the menu looked very appealing. We would have sat outside which is a very pleasant area but it was too windy. This area eventually could be even better if enhanced with the wall fountain functioning, and maybe even a central cooling fountain added as well, along with plantings like cypress and dwarf palms to add to the ambiance. This place has the potential for being THE go-to oasis in Sun City and I can envision it being a regular spot to meet up with friends over cool minty drinks with or without a meal. What puts it above many outdoor dining areas around here is that it is set back enough from Bell Road so the traffic sound is not overwhelming and thankfully lacks that annoying "whoosh." May the oasis come to pass!

My wife's steak was cooked to perfection but did taste extremely salty - we did make a comment both to the server and in the on-site review requested by the table side payment app. I would recommend anyone ordering their steaks to be sure to request that they go lighter on the salt. Other than that everything was perfect. My wife had the carrot cake dessert, of which I also had a taste, and we both highly recommend it. Service was also attentive and courteous as was our greeting by the maitre d'. There are so many tempting menu offerings that we will definitely need to be making multiple return visits despite the distance, as we are Northeast Valley residents. I would love to see an additional Cheddars open closer to our home.

The bartender was friendly and attentive, and took our order quickly. By the time we arrived they had already sold out of the bone marrow small plate and the tomahawk steak. Totally understandable for the last seating of the night, but those were two of the dishes we were really looking forward to trying. The main reason for 1 less star. It's a cool little spot for drinks and a gourmet bite. The kitchen, bar, and seating area are fairly compact. Even though the kitchen is ventilated, you can still feel a bit of the heat and smoke coming off the grill. We ordered the grilled romaine salad (they do charge a small upcharge if you split plates), along with the bao buns and the wagyu meatballs. Everything was well presented, tasty. Overall, a great option for the west side if you're looking for elevated bar bites and good drinks. My tip: grab an earlier reservation if you can, so you have a better chance at the popular dishes before they sell out.
