We came at lunch but got brunch! No lines, no waiting, we ordered pancakes (delicious!) & the new fall breakfast sandwich, which had bacon, sausage, egg w/greens & drizzled hot honey on a large muffin! My new fave at First Watch! Service was great, we will be back! read more

Elijah seated us and took care of us. He was spot on with suggestions and checking on us. I had the Trifecta and my husband had the traditional breakfast. The eggs were fresh and everything tasted delicious! The million dollar bacon was crispy and the pancake was homemade and served with warm maple syrup! We will be back! read more

First Watch is a staple for my family and I for Sunday brunch. They're a dependable spot where everyone can find something they'd like. There's almost always a wait on Sundays so get there early or add yourself to the waitlist ahead of time! The menu is very straightforward and I've never had something I didn't like. My go-to is the two for you with the Monterey club and avocado chop. It's so yummy and filling while also being pretty diet friendly. Their juices and cocktails are also great! There's always something new to try at First Watch! read more

I previously gave them a 4 star, but this experience definitely brought them up to a 5. Our server was friendly and checked on us frequently. I highly recommend the Carnitas Breakfast Tacos if you're craving something savory and if you're over 21 wash it down with a delicious cup of cinnamon toast cereal milk. With indoor and outdoor seating available, this location typically doesn't have much of a wait to get seated. read more

I had never entered one of these chains and from here on out probably will not again. Coffee was blah. The overall feel was a tad messy and dirty. Prices were steep for all it was. I have had way better breakfast all over the place much cheaper. My grandson said he loved his breakfast and I will say his french toast looked pretty good. The pancakes were nothing special. Next time I will look for something with a little more character. read more

Great service and great food! They are always busy, so have patience while waiting. Very consistent

Classic breakfast spot with lots of options! I've been here a few times with my family as they have tons of options so it's great for eaters who have restrictions or may be pickier. They do get quite busy so try and get there early unless you don't mind a wait. I got the BLT Benedict and had great flavor but one of the poached eggs was more like a hard boiled egg and the other was perfectly cooked. My mom got one of their specials which was a chorizo hash and hers was super rich and flavorful. Overall there are lots of options but the execution could be a bit better. read more

I came with family from out of town, because. I raved about this place . Our server was Elijah he was attentive and displayed eye contact. The 3 of us all ordered different things from the trifecta. My daughter in-law had the buttered grits but it was watery and inundated with butter. Elijah brought another grit order for her but she said they were watery. Other than it wasn't too loud, you know just vocal conversations being heard. My only gripe was the nasty flooring underneath us. Where you can tell they wiped the table and swished the table remnants of food on the floor. I mean lots of stuff, melon piece etc , and other food. I was kinda of embarrassed for my guest to see this as they were from out of town. I know your busy but wipe the table down It only takes less than a minute to pan & broom before seating a patron. Presentation is everything. read more

First Watch has some great healthier options for breakfast and I appreciate that. Stopped in here for a quick healthy breakfast on a weekday and was seated and served very efficiently. Service was nice and food was great. There's a cool "local" farm to table type feeling in there (it is a chain). read more

After a not so great experience at First Watch we tried it again. There was notable difference. The eggs were perfect. The BLT with a fried egg was an excellent addition. The fried egg was the exact addition to make a BLT perfect and upgraded. The salmon eggs benedict had great flavor. Unfortunately, the ciabatta bread was very difficult to cut. My favorite of the day was the cinnamon toast crunch milk cocktail. THAT was fabulous. It was like drinking from your bowl after you eat your cereal with a kick. Very, very good. We had a pleasant lunch. Our service was also on point. read more

I ordered from First Watch via DoorDash, and overall, the food was great -- everything came well-packaged and secure. The bag was neatly sealed with tape, and I could tell the staff took care in how it was put together. However, I was really disappointed with how the coffee was handled. The cup was handed off with an open drinking spout, and by the time it arrived, it had spilled down the side. Beyond just the mess, this felt unsanitary -- the cup was exposed in a delivery driver's car with no cover or stopper in place. I called the restaurant to ask about this, and Amy kindly explained that they don't have covers or stoppers available, and that I would need to call ahead every time I order coffee to request additional wrapping. Honestly, that's a lot to ask of customers who are already paying for convenience. Tip to First Watch: Please consider offering coffee stoppers or sealable lids for delivery orders. It's a small fix that would go a long way for hygiene and customer confidence. read more

Another trip to First Watch in the books! Our service was fantastic and quick considering how busy and short staffed they were, the food was delicious per usual (I highly recommend the Purple Haze, Iced Caramel Crunch Coffee, and the Lemon Blueberry Cornbread), and the atmosphere was booming. They were so slammed but kept on top of everything. We First Watch! read more

My wife and came in for brunch. I had a seasonal dish, Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict, and my wife had the BLT Benedict. We were seated and greeted promptly with an urn of coffee. Elijah was our server, and he was very polite and like-able. We didn't wait long for our food. When it came out, I regretted ordering fresh fruit in place of the black beans instead of the potatoes. I asked Elijah if I could have a side of potatoes after all, and he brought them out within two minutes. Everything was delicious, and my wife and both scraped our plates to get as much of the sauce as we could. I would have loved more meat in the dish, but that's pretty much the case wherever I eat. Love me some animal protein! The check was brought quickly, and we were paid and out the door efficiently. read more

I continue to be impressed with First Watch. Yes, it's a chain but they hit the mark every time for me. I visited Sunday during prime brunch hours. I used the online wait list and we were promptly seated within the time frame. Our server began our brunch on a bright, pleasant note. With her guidance and a taste test, which she offered, we were sold on the Watermelon Refresher. I loved that it had no added sugar, just natural, fresh juice. I did add the antioxidant vitamin shot and there was no aftertaste. I opted for the Salmon and Veggie Frittata with egg whites only. The Salmon was firm and flavorful and the lightly lemon dressed greens were fresh and a great complement to the dish. read more

I ordered the shrimp and grits this time around. The space was active but we had no issues being seated immediately for two. The wait for the food after ordering was about 15 mins. I ordered the shrimp and grits but would have preferred the grits not be so stiff. The flavor for the shrimp and grits was just ok. I ended up eating mostly the sausage and shrimp from the dish. My wife enjoyed the chorizo breakfast sandwich to which she says was delicious and the over easy egg a nice addition to the sandwich. Overall, this wasn't the best experience here but I am open to seeing what the summer menu brings. read more

Finally got in for brunch! The key is to go early to avoid the line. We got there at 10am. I love the healthy, unique options they have on the menu. I got a berry chia parfait type of breakfast and it was very tasty. My friend got a smoked salmon omelette, which I tried, and it was amazing ! The inside has farmhouse type decor with quite a bit of seating. There is also an outdoor option if the weather is nice. They also have a juice bar, and we tried the watermelon wake-up. It was very tasty with a great blend of different fruit juices. I definitely look forward to going back, they have so many interesting menu items to try, and our waitress was very friendly. read more

Great breakfast and brunch restaurant! If you are looking for a healthier alternative to most other restaurants, this is definitely your spot. A great place to meet with friends and family. The dishes are full flavored and delicious. The drinks are a fresh unique blend and tasty; they rotate seasonally. The extensive menu offers many delectable items to choose from for many different diners. They even offer a side dish named million dollar bacon. How can they be wrong? By the way, the bacon is hearty, flavorful and delicious. So not everything is super healthy. Being a healthier alternative, the ingredients used are far better quality than quantity. The dishes are wonderful and filling, even if they are not the same quantity that you may be accustomed to. But don't take healthier as a bad word, as all their dishes are scrumptious and full of flavor. Although they are traditional dishes, they use whole grain breads; which are more filling and a healthier alternative to the traditional products used at other establishments. read more

Ordered on ubereats bc my birthday just passed & someone treated me bc they know how much i usually love the million dollar bacon. Im home with my newborn & can't get out so I figured today would be the day that id treat myself. . & my food was horrible. I spent $30 just for my potatoes to arrive salty & dry. The cheese was a hard clump & I paid extra for it. The salt was unbearable & they were extremely overcooked. The million dollar bacon which is pretty pricey for 4 pieces of bacon was literally burnt to a crisp. Inedible & cold. The grits were the only thing I enjoyed. I haven't tried my blueberry muffin yet. I'm so mad I couldn't take it back. read more

Ok first let's establish something. I have been Blessed by the good Lord to experience some great eats - I never look forward to leaving my daughter at college, but FIRST WATCH is the silver lining to a rather emotional time. I have not posted in all our years dropping our daughter because I don't want to wait any longer than I already have to for a table; but as she enters her last year - I realize I have yo do right by these excellent purveyors and preparers of fresh, fine foods. If you want a flavorful twist on traditions combined with fresh ingredients and health conscience this is the place. No pictures to show as the food was consumed in record time. A must visit read more

For a place that charges a bit more than they should for brunch, you would think the service AND taste of food would match it... but, unfortunately, that wasn't my/our experience at this particular First Watch location. The place wasn't even packed yet we constantly had to remind our waitress to bring us waters as we awaited the arrival of our brunch meals. My pancakes, although massive, were as bland and dry as sandpaper (no flavor AT ALL), and my eggs were just as mediocre. Even my ONE mimosa ordered was lackluster because I NEVER have just ONE mimosa at brunch until I dined here! The staff is overall quite attractive but that's the best compliment I can give to them. The environment within the establishment is quite cramped so expect to not only be seated far-too-close to total strangers but also to hear their entire conversations. And the floors! I've never seen so many discarded napkins, empty sugar packets and such blowing around like tumbleweeds within a restaurant! And please don't get me started on the unkept (men's) bathrooms! This particular Greensboro location is NOTHING like the one in Winston-Salem. Nothing at all. It definitely needs better management, and better cooks in the kitchen! Sorry but NOT sorry. Step up your game, First Watch - Greensboro... and do it FAST! read more

I'm not 100% sure if I'm completely convinced on this chain restaurant. Traditional Breakfast and Trifecta options are good, plus other seasonal offerings look delicious too. However, I feel like something is missing which always leaves this place on the back-burner for me. No knock on the service. The servers have been great every time and the ambiance is nice, but loud during the busy rush. The in-app waitlist request is easy enough too. I may have to give this one another shot in the near future, but overall I'd say it doesn't stand out just yet. read more

They redeemed 1 star by not charging me for a wrong dish. I ordered the salmon Egg Benedict but received some other meat egg benedict. This place is super busy even past 1:30pm on a Saturday. I recommend queuing up online. It was a pleasant day for outdoor seating. Order took time. I have had good experiences with food here before, i hope the service does get better. read more

First visit to a First Watch. This is a breakfast and lunch only place.The ceilings are very high which make for a loud space. The staff was very hospitable and we were very pleased with everyone who interacted with us. The food was delicious! I had avocado toast which was the best I have had. My husband had sausage gravy and biscuits that came with 2 eggs and hash browns and enjoyed them very much. Coffee was excellent! Destiny our waitress was amazing! read more

Wanna know the secret to kicking your day off the right way? A big, hearty, scrumptious breakfast. Last weekend we made our way to First Watch before my daughter birthday festivities began and it was exactly what we needed to pump us up for a fun filled weekend! Unfortunately, their summer menu has already left us but fortunately enough, their new fall menu made its debut this week and we can't wait to go back to try it! Never fear, though! Some of their staples are on the menu year round and we are here for it! From lemon rictotta pancakes with fresh lemon curd to bananas foster French toast - yum! Oh and told forget the bold, juicy million dollar bacon. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it! First watch is definitely a breakfast fav for us and we will be back time and time again! read more

I have always liked this chain restaurant even though I am not a chain restaurant person. We arrived and asked to be seated outside for breakfast and the staff was very helpful in wiping off the tables. Our server was quick to take our order and was very attentive. The menu has lots of choices and everything looked appealing. I chose the Classic Eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes as it's one of my favorite breakfast foods. It arrived quickly and was hot. There was some kind of weird spice, maybe in the hollandaise sauce, which didn't appeal to me. I was disappointed as I normally love this breakfast, although I have never had it here before. The potatoes were very good. I would order something else the next time I ordered. Service continued to be good throughout the meal. read more

After continuing to visit First Watch over the past year despite a few bad experiences, I can update and say the service has gotten much better! I absolutely love this place now, the food is always solid and there are plenty of options whether you're looking for a sweet or a savory breakfast. The ambiance is great and they're never on a wait when I've gone during the week, but be weary on Saturday and Sunday there can be a pretty lengthy wait! read more

Tried the Farm Stand Breakfast tacos which were delicious! The pico had fresh jalapeños that were a little too spicy for my taste but I picked them out pretty easily. The flavor of the chicken + chorizo was perfect together. I added the potatoes as a side instead of the black beans. The Kale Tonic is my favorite of the pressed juices. It's so refreshing... the apple flavor comes through more than anything. Most times I've visited, there's been quite a long wait. This time there wasn't a wait, but it was evident the server was overwhelmed and tired. The weekends are tough, I much prefer visiting here on a weekday when it's lighter crowds. read more

Met my mom for a quick meal on my lunch hour. We decided to take advantage of their small patio in front of the restaurant. It was a little on the cold side, but luckily the sun was shining. I also got myself a hot tea which absolutely helped. Our waiter, wish I remembered his name, was awesome. He had a lot of personality, a great sense of humor, but also was very attentive. All I could ask for. As this is a breakfast/lunch joint, I decided to go for a late brunch option and get the Smoked Salmon and Roasted Vegetable Frittata (wild Alaska smoked sockeye salmon, house-roasted shallots and tomatoes topped with Parmesan cheese, a chive cream drizzle and fresh herbs). It also came with some mixed greens and a piece ciabatta toast. I love that this chain is in the Wight Watchers (WW) app, this helped me decide a on plan option in advance. Luckily, it was also very tasty. Eggs were cooked well and the addition of the chive cream drizzle made it feel extra decedent. My mom got the Sweet Honey Pecan Salad (organic mixed greens, romaine, all-natural chicken breast, bacon, toasted pecans, avocado, tomatoes and carrots with Cheddar and Monterey Jack. Drizzled with warm honey Dijon dressing). She has ordered this salad before and is a huge fan. It looked very pretty, with all the various colors from the various salad ingredients. read more

When this chain opened in the ever-expanding Wendover Commons plaza at the beginning of the year, it managed to carve out a unique identity - fast casual breakfast/brunch - despite the abundance of eateries in the immediate vicinity. This lack of direct competition is both a blessing and a curse: First Watch is welcome for what it brings to the table and yet another restaurant of this type nearby would likely present a more attractive alternative. While First Watch does offer sandwiches and salads for the lunch crowd, its menu skews toward early-day offerings. You can find a classic platter, gigantic pancake, omelet, or hash, or you can mix it up with a frittata, a fruit-laden Floridian French toast, or a quinoa power bowl. There are also health-conscious options and a juice bar yet strangely no breakfast burrito. For my first time out, I used the restaurant's Web site to order a Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl (quinoa, Italian sausage, Crimini mushrooms, tomatoes, kale, Parmesan, and eggs) and a Kale Tonic (Kale, fuji apple, cucumber, and lemon) for pick-up. The food was ready within a few minutes of arrival, set on a table marked for take-out orders by the front entrance. By the looks of things, First Watch seemed to be going for a rustic chic vibe. It also seemed like the kind of place that crowds easily, which made me thankful that I wasn't dining in. The food proved to be a mixed bag. The sausage was nice and zesty, and it paired well with the tomatoes and mushrooms. The "basted" eggs, on the other hand, were rubbery and unpleasant, making this dish an unlikely re-order. At least the juice, equal parts tangy and refreshing, was an unqualified hit. At $15 after taxes, this was not a cheap breakfast. It was certainly filling, but given the pricing relative to Scrambled or a good local brunch spot (think M'Couls), it still felt like a bit of a reach. All told, First Watch's better-than-fast-food breakfast offerings merit a look, but you may find yourself wanting more for less. read more

Ok so start off - we "Got In Line" online at 10:13A and it was already a 2 hour wait, which okay fine - it's Sunday / Valentine's Day.. we arrived, checked in at 11:40 (a bit before the 2 hour mark) and were not seated for another hour.. Once seated Sky our server was great, friendly, and knowledgeable in the items and recommendations! We started off with Million Dollar Bacon - which was ok had a bit of a burnt flavor - not worth almost $6 in my opinion. The Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos were again, just OK - they had a strange flavor to them that's indescribable.. served with black beans () The Farmhouse Hash is what hubs chose with over easy eggs - in his words - it was okay, the flavor was a bit bland and I wouldn't order it again. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict served with greens and a lemon vinaigrette which is YUM! - first round - the eggs/yolk and hollandaise were cold - Sky quickly corrected this and the second round was delicious and what I expected! We were able to speak with Stacy, the manager and she was wonderful, open conversation in regards to possible changes/improvements from our observations. I've been to First Watch in Denver and was impressed - this trip was mediocre at best. Thanks again Stacy and Sky for doing your best in our situation!! read more

We went for a family brunch to try out this place, and it was a mixed bag. Positives: The pancakes were very nice and crisp, and the kids enjoyed the bacons. Since the menu indicated the pancakes to be humongous, we just ordered one for our 2 kids (4 and 8) and it was sufficiently enough, along with the side of sausage link and bacon (they are charged separately though for $9!) We ordered tri-fecta with lemon ricotta pancakes for little extra, and healthy turkey (egg white omelette and turkey filling with whole grain toast). The $4 mimosas were nice, and the coffee was ok. I really liked their website menu which allowed for detailed nutrition info along with options to swap ingredients to adjust your calories intake. I find it very easy and useful for ppl on a specific diet and counting calories for their health goals! Good user experience. Our server was prompt and courteous, and took good care. The place was buzzing and there was a wait time of 1+ hr for indoor seating, so we chose to sit out as the sun provided plenty of warmth in the cold weather! Negatives: I would say there wasn't really any effort for social distancing for seating inside and outside, and the place was really packed with ppl sitting very close to each other. Also, the checkout and billing process is extremely inefficient as you are supposed to pay on the front counter; which is right at the main door with ppl coming and going out, and a huge line to follow up on with just one counter operating. Kind of creates a traffic. They can do better with tablet check outs at the table, but that is just my opinion. The food is priced on the expensive side as such and it's ok for once in a while experience. Nothing extraordinary for the price TBH. read more

Even though this is a national chain, the menu is quite unique and changes with the season. We brought some folks from out of the country to this location for an American breakfast, and they loved it. Plates cleaned- which is hard to do with the portion sizes!

All were outstanding, and the staff was friendly and attentive despite a full dining room and large parties. read more

not even a start waited 20 minutes a cup of water and not even mention the other drinks I would not like to go back to that place anymore

Oh my goodness! What a waste of my time!! We waited over an hour, when my mother in law was told 40 minutes. One young lady who works there went the extra mile to get us seated. Finally was seated, then I had to wait 10 minutes after my party received there food for a salad. My salad finally arrived with out the bread, had to request for the bread to come out. My salad lacked luster very small amounts of protein, more big chunks of lettuce than anything. I was never a big fan of First Watch and this LAST visit proved why. Will not return ever. read more
