Cute, inviting and a fun place to eat. It's our favorite breakfast spot for lemon ricotta pancakes and million dollar bacon. Join the waitlist so you don't have a long wait. read more

Never attempting to eat here again! Rude service. I was greeted with "Yes?" as in what do you want?? so I just look at the host and say excuse me. Then he corrects himself to ask, pick up or dine in. I request to dine in....he sits me at a table right next to the kitchen. I politely decline and ask for another seat. He walks away. When the waiter comes, he also does not greet me properly, is mumbling, and leaning towards the table instead of coming to the table. I said never mind, no thank you, and walked out. Now, I also don't feel well so my tolerance is low but that's even more of a reason to review because dining out should be a pleasant experience that may just improve your day! This did not happen here unfortunately. read more

Since we went on lockdown, I have ordered from First Watch twice. My first order was a couple Sunday's ago. I ordered the potato hash and an extra side because that was always good when I would ate there. The potato hash was a complete salt lick bomb. I threw it away. We also had the avocado toast which was good. Today 3/12/2020 I ordered 2 morning meditation drinks, drinks were missing some key components. Tasted totally sour and different. The kale drink was good. The pancake, farm stand hash, and veggie sandwich were all good. I thought with the lockdown, food preparation would improve because there's less customers, but it seems the standard have lowered. Wasted good money on drinks and potato hash that were not good. FYI, I was told they will temporarily be closed as of 3/13/2020. read more

The food is always AMAZING. The coffee is also very good. The only thing is that the service is never really good. Takes a while to be greeted at the front and usually at the tables. Not very attentive but also not the worst service ever. But the food is great so I still dine in on occasion. Very nice restaurant read more

I just stopped by and placed an order to take home. When I got here I did not have any Almond butter to go with my order. It is the Chia pudding. Have you discontinued the Almond butter. I tried calling several times and the background noise was impossible for anyone to hear me. I live in Greensboro and was very upset with my order. Emarita Leitner read more

Now y'all should be ashamed...A damn loaf of bread isn't $2 in the stores, but y'all charging over $10 for 1 piece of French toast? Not only that, but 1 egg and 1 piece of sausage? Y'all making IHOP and Tex & Shirleys an easier decision when deciding where to eat out for breakfast. I mean the food is good don't get me wrong! Besides the beyond small portion sizes everything else was pretty good. read more

First time. Take-out. The Trifecta with pork sausage and waffle. It was great. Just wish it came with 2 sausages instead of one. Mom loved it. Line Star Brisket Hash was great. Plenty of leftovers. read more

My absolute favorite brunch place. The food is amazing every-time. Great atmosphere. I usually go early to beat the crowd. Staff is super friendly. If you haven't been you have to try. read more

First off: They don't have that Instagram-famous lavender lemonade anymore, alas. It was a seasonal item for winter. A solid casual brunch spot! The decor is lovely, the atmosphere is pleasant, our server was friendly, and they make a good omelet. I had a great time, and I'll definitely be back. If you get a side of toast they will pre-butter it, so if you're lactose intolerant (like me) or just not into that, make sure you speak up. Also, I asked for no cheese in my omelet, but a couple of feta chunks snuck in there anyway. Luckily the omelet was folded in half so they were easy to remove. I hear they get absolutely slammed on the weekends. My party of two went on Tuesday at about 10:15 and we were seated immediately. Check their website for wait times! read more

Staff is so friendly. Definitely working through some growing pains but 3rd time here improvement each time. The check out process gets a little crowded at the door trying to get in and out. Largest complaint, over cooked eggs. Eggs should never be brown. Ordered this cooked soft after prior experience with the frittata. Please slow down and cook to order. read more

Blue crab avocado toast and eggs....tasty! Service (Skye) was amazing !

First of all I love the food, drinks and the ambiance. Second of all I realize kitchen staff is limited and it affects service. With that being said... this is my fourth visit to the Greensboro location... and every time I go it's something. It would be nice if they mention... please be patient with us... etc, instead of looking at us and trying to create an excuse. Service has got to get better!! read more

Love First Watch! Never been to this location. Popped in around 1:30, they close at 2:30. Kale salad w extra chicken for the WIN ! Always yummy! read more

Excellent service on my usual breakfast. I love the Morning Market Veggie Omelet, and go to any FW I am near in my travels from FL to CT. Summer was the server today and she is a breath of fresh air on a cold a rainy winter day. Super nice and attentive without being pushy. Great experience, ask for her! read more

Have enjoyed our meal both times we have visited. Pancakes are delicious. Pretty decor. Good service.

First Watch is great! I've been there a few times and I've gotten food delivered from there a few times as well. The food is delicious and flavorful every time. I usually get the Chickichanga which is pretty filling. The employees are diverse which is a nice plus, and they're really kind even on busy days. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while and had heard great things about it. They have a neat check in system on their app which I discovered. Just keep in mind this place fills up fast! When I looked at 10am, it had my searing twenty minutes out. When I looked at 11:30am the wait was an hour out. I checked in and the time provided was the time they sat us, so at least they're accurate. Amongst our table we ordered the salmon eggs benedict, standard eggs Benedict, banana granola pancake, and avocado taste. The food took over 30 minutes to come out (it may have been closer to 40), and only the eggs benedict came outside. It's always an annoyance when one person doesn't get their meal at the same time as everyone else, and then have to sit and watch the rest of their party eat. What's more annoying is that person ordered the avocado toast so there was no reason it shouldn't have been prepared already. Both eggs Benedict dishes were cold. And I don't mean like warm. It was like they had been refrigerated and warmed, but not long enough. The two of us that ordered the eggs benedict had to send our orders back, at which time the avocado toast and pancake came out, also with sides of potatoes that came with the eggs benedict. The manager came over to apologize to the table and assured us she would make it right. When they reserved the eggs benedict my guess is they microwaved it, because the egg yolks were completely hard boiled. A breakdown of the fishes: The potatoes were good. They were skillet browned and there was a good portion. The pancake was delicious. I could taste the banana and liked the slight granola crunch. The avocado toast was bland. It was just smashed avocado on toast and definitely needed at a minimum salt. There was definitely a good portion of avocado on top. I can't speak for the standard eggs benedict but the salmon eggs benedict was the worst I've ever had. They use sockeye salmon, not lox, to be clear and they both taste differently. Sockeye has a smokier flavor to it, along with an unmistakeable bright pinkish red hue. It's also tougher in texture. It was served on a long piece of bread, not an English muffin as usual. I wouldn't have minded toast but the bread was barely toasted. This made for a hard boiled egg with sockeye salmon, on soft bread with hollandaise sauce. There wasn't anything about it I liked and I didn't even eat half of it. The mixed greens that came on the side were very good and lightly dressed in a lemon vinaigrette, which was a nice side offering. The only reason I gave this restaurant two stars is because of the service. I'd honestly give the staff 5 stars for service. From the hostesses, to our waitress, to the manager, everyone was so friendly, polite, professional, and personable. That alone will get people in the door and may even keep them coming back after a bad experience. I just wish the food would have been better. A salad and potatoes isn't enough for me to return right now. read more

First Watch - Salmon eggs benedict with mixed greens. Mixed green were good. Wouldn't recommend the eggs benedict. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

They can't cook for shit here. I asked for over medium. They brought me a raw set of eggs. Then when they redid it the eggs were burnt.

Slow service waited 50 mins only to find out that our food was not available Then in the subbed item was the same but served differently service Noticed that some customers seemed to get special attention while others didn't matter Would not recommend this restaurant read more

Great service great food. Can get busy, so use the website to place your party in the waitlist

This spot is so good! Amazing breakfast, brunch, and lunch options. I personally loved the bacado omelette with the UNREAL chocolate chip pancakes. Skylar, our waitress, was super helpful and friendly. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This place is super popular and busy because of the great menu! Farm to table! Have no idea why is not a 4.5 or above. Someone in marketing needs to look at these reviews. Been there many times. My only complaint is the avocado toast breakfast should be served with the avocado mash room temp or warm. Cold doesn't work but the dish is very good. read more

From great service, to great food- this place is fantastic. Having a gluten allergy can be extremely frustrating especially when people don't understand anything about it, but luckily our server DeAndre knew exactly what we were talking about and was able to make sure our food wasn't cross-contaminated! I highly suggest coming here! read more

This food was..... incredible. My mom and I had a hankering for a good breakfast and we had heard good things about First Watch so we decided to try it--and thank god we did. We were both pretty hungry, we hadn't eaten, and we're just craving good, warm breakfast and First Watch delivered. We were promptly greeted by a sweet and lively waitress, Kierra, who saw to all of our needs and made sure we enjoyed everything. She quickly offered coffee and water, made sure we didn't feel pressure to order quickly, and ensured we were comfortable. She definitely made the experience all the more enjoyable. We had the hardest time deciding what to eat, everything sounded so delicious. They serve breakfast, lunch, and brunch all day long, and there's one specialty menu that changes seasonally. Out of all those options, not one thing sounded unappetizing. Finally, after pouring over the menu for ages, we settled on the Frittata Rustica, the biscuits and gravy, and a Lemon Ricotta pancake to split. My mom loved her biscuits and gravy and my frittata was scrumptious. It was so flavorful and perfectly cooked--I highly recommend. But the showstopper was definitely the pancake we split. I kid you not it was like chewing on a cloud. It was cooked to perfection, the lemon curd was so creamy and tart, and the strawberries were the perfect sweet compliment to top it off. It was just the perfect way to finish off our breakfast. Overall, this is one of the best breakfasts I've had. If you're ever needing breakfast places to go or recommend someone to, this is the place. Please try First Watch out!! read more

I highly recommend this First Watch!! Give them a try! read more

Worst breakfast ever. Orderes poached eggs..they were cold. Waiter tookthem back and later brought fressh poached eggs. They were under cooked and the whites were runny.. the gluter free toast was a cold slab of cardboard...so cold butter would not even get soft enough to spread let alone melt. Will definitely not return. read more

Ok ... Let me start by saying this is our second visit to First Watch. We returned because we were given a $20 gift card to try them again after a bad food experience our first visit. I wish I was able to write that this experiences as better, but it wasn't. We started with the "Million Dollar Bacon". The appearance looked like .50 cent bacon. The taste was better but more like "Two Dollar Bacon". We had four people dining. Two meals came out together One was as described, the other, a bacon and avocado omelet had very little bacon. About 5 minutes later the third item came out, a carnitas burrito. It was sans ANY carnitas and was cold. The fourth item came out when the rest of us were finished with our meals. It was another carnitas burrito. This one was hot and had one piece of carnitas in the entire burrito. Must be having a meat shortage in this establishment. Two stars for the app that allows you to get on the waiting list before arriving. 12/3/2020 Update: changed review to one star after Jennifer with First Watch reached out asking me to contact her. Which I did several days ago and no response. Must be a review ploy to give others the false impression they follow up and care. read more

I was very excited to try this place! It is always super busy, so we got in after an hour wait. Sat in the hot sun for the dining experience and that was honestly the worst part of the meal! The coffee was tasty and the food delicious. The potatoes were my favorite part. My boyfriend got a carnitas burrito and he loved it! Would come back again (but maybe sit inside next time). read more

So I normally order Togo through Uber. But we decided to come inside for this time. And this place is busy. And well worth the wait. Not that we waited long. I came with my son. We got the blt eggs Benedict with roasted potatoes and a kids chocolate chip pancake (which is huge btw) with bacon. The eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection and the hollandaise sauce that comes with it was to die for. The staff was very helpful, especially when I broke a bottle of hot sauce. I will definitely be coming back read more

Absolutely horrible Saturday arrived 45-1 hr wait ok checked after 40 Min still another 30 came to check and they said we are next inside now someone walks in and asks ok to sit outside the hostess said sure 1st come 1st serve now why weren't we given that option Asked to speak to the manager she apologized and said she speak to the hostess worth a gratis coffee you would think the food avocado toast I love at another first watch not this one the eggs stood up by themselves so hard and cold toast cold and hard Don't recommend this location or get a new manager horrible!! read more
