We found this place because my son asked his fellow med school students for a wonderful brunch place and this did not disappoint. Every meal came out hot and the waitress was spot on. There were pots of coffee on the table so the cups never got empty and the food was absolutely amazing. There were enough leftovers to put together another full meal for my son for breakfast the next day. Every meal that came out was cooked to perfection and one of the people in our party is gluten-free and they have gluten-free toast and other options at no additional charge. I can honestly say over the next four years of med school this will be one of our go to breakfast places each and every trip! read more

First Watch is a bit on the expensive side, but my wife and I have always enjoyed the vibe and excellent food. For us, our multiple breakfast experiences were 5 stars. Only yesterday it was a bit different: still great vibe and food in general was good. Except for my side salad -see pictures. I don't know what would have happened if I had eaten it. I let our waitress, who seemed to be new, know and, although a bit clumsy, it got replaced. The question is: why does the kitchen serve this in the first place. Overall in the end, we forgot about it and still enjoyed our breakfast. We'll be back next time and look for forward to having again a 5 star experience. Cheers! read more

Visited this place this morning and there were several servers but none of them came to my table to assist me.

Our experience was unusual. Our server got hurt. We were checked on by everyone. All servers were very nice. Only reason I gave a 4 is you could tell our food set under a heat lamp for a while. My over easy eggs were hard and cold. I liked the the inside and set up. read more

The staff is so friendly!! Our food was amazing and the service was even better 10/10 will be back!!

Our waiter, Kyle and Ashley did a fabulous job. Tasty food and great waitstaff service. Thanks for a great experience! read more

First Watch - Wow, what a treat we had today. KYLE, our waiter, welcomed us. Our orders were fast, complete, and extremely tasty. Awesome Kyle. & Ashley - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

The line looked like it was out the door so my sister dropped me off and went to park the car. I walked in and only waited a few minutes and was seated, table for four. The waitresses were super busy and hurried at every move but they were never rude to the customer. The food was fresh and delicious. They had a nice selection of breakfast, brunch, and lunch items but not a ton of options. I would much rather see a nice basic variety than a restaurant that has to many options and does none of them well. The food here is fresh and healthy. Best bacon ever! Prices were decent and portions large but not huge. If I get a chance I will return here. read more

My friends and I came to first watch on January 30 for brunch. The food was cold by the time we got it, we had no silverware or napkins and we were very disappointed. I had been bragging about how tasty this place was and everything came out cold and the service was terrible. We had a woman bring our food to us and she practically threw it on the table and just walked away. When we asked for silverware we were handed a mug of forks, spoons & knives. When we asked for napkins, we didn't receive them until we were done with our cold, soggy meals. I will definitely not be recommending this place to anyone or coming back again. read more

Good food, great options including healthy options. Service is typically great. The environment is always great and locations typically have different drink specials. read more

I don't have much to say except for this place is awesome. There are numerous choices for breakfast, brunch, and lunch, all of which look delicious. I've been here only one time after hearing nothing but raving reviews from others who went first! They give you a pot of coffee on the table which is super clutch. Note that you wanna come early, especially on weekends, as there can be up to an hour wait. 10/10 will be back. read more

My friend placed a online order for us, we waited over 30 minutes past the time it was said to be ready, granted it was slammed in there but the host (very rude ) gave no communication just said "it'll be placed up there on the shelf when it's ready " we proceeded to wait eventually asked how much longer, a server had to go check on the order... to look like this when we got home ! Completely unacceptable. I will never be returning not only is the hostess rude and not welcoming the food is uneatable. read more

It was just ok. Eggs were overdone and brown, Been setting a while. Asked for crispy bacon, it was floppy. Toast was old and dry. Definitely not what one would expect for the price. Wife got gravy and biscuit. Gravy was good. Top half of biscuit was good, bottom of biscuit dry and hard. Very disappointed. read more

Mannnn this place is the truth !!!! I love their Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and Turkey Burger....

I stopped in after giving platelets and the place was packed. The staff was very efficient and friendly and I was seated in less than 5 minutes. Ashley was my server. She was training another server but it didn't slow her down. She was quick to grab a requested condiment and take away box. The restaurant was clean and all the food was very appetizing to the eye and palate. This was my first visit to this particular location but not my last. read more

First Watch - Crab & Avocado toast (I added Lemon Balsamic) with over medium eggs and Million Dollar Bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

OK... but not the best. Ambience very poor, due to high open ceilings, equally extreme restaurant noise. Our waitress did her job reluctantly, with sour expression on her face. Short term, memory was out to lunch, pun intended. Price gouging was evident... $10 for a medium size waffle that arrived cold and nothing else on the plate & extra butter had to be asked for twice. read more

Great spot for breakfast but busy! Come early, even on Sundays. Great menu options and I love the eggs benedict

Just had another great meal at First Watch Greenville today with my sons. We were looking forward to trying their new drink menu. Mimosa today for me. The food was delicious as always and such great variety. My sons and I had the shrimp and grits, BLT avocado eggs Benedict and the chikichanga. The manager was even standing at the door greeting everyone for graduation weekend. The customer service at this location was outstanding as always. It's truly a wonderful dining experience read more

Food is good and service is decent. The scene and decor is cool and modern but the price is not worth the food you get. The portions are too small and do not fill you up. If I'm paying 40$ for breakfast for two people I should leave full. Would not come back. read more

Love the food and service at First Watch. Kyle was our server and he was excellent! We loved his banter and he took great care of all our special needs. He kept our glasses full which is very important to my husband. I will definitely come back. read more

Don't come here if you aren't from here. I was in town for my sister-in-law's graduation, and I'm sure you think you know where this is going... But a special occasion weekend is no excuse for what happened today. Over 1-hour wait for a table: Upon arrival we were told that we had a 20 minute wait for a party of 8. 25 minutes later I personally went inside to ask for an update and we were told it would be another 20 minutes. Not happy but we continued to wait. Another 25 minutes went by without update so we went back in to ask what was going on and we even volunteered to take tables that were split up. We stood and watched someone else take a clean table who hadn't been waiting as long as us and when I asked what that was about, only then were we informed that apparently people can queue jump if you use their app to put yourselves on the waiting list. My family, including grandparents, were left outside in the cold wind without being told about this rule. For an hour. 3 different hostesses failed to update us fully and didn't really apologize for it either. Food was okay - which is why it's two stars and not one. The potatoes were pretty undercooked and firm even though food came out all together and in a timely manor. Hostesses at checkout took almost ten minutes to attempt to figure out how to split a pretty simple bill on our table of 4 and even then we just settled for putting everything on one card because they actually never figured it out. I would never come here again. Waffle House called and said "keep it simple stupid!" read more

Our regular visit to First Watch when we are in Greenville met with all expectations! Quick seating, hot coffee, scrumptious food, and fantastic service by Logan. 5 stars!! read more

I've had this place a few times and I'm honestly not sure what people are raving about. The first time I got eggs Benedict and it was the worst I've ever had. The egg was cooked fully (supposed to be poached) and the hollandaise sauce was the wrong color and did not taste like hollandaise at all. Today I ordered and iced coffee that was basically milk and I went with biscuit and gravy because I figured it was a safe option. The biscuit was dry and dense and the gravy was pasty. There has to be better options in town! read more

Very unpleasant experience. We were excited about the menu choices. But after we were seated at our table the waitress seemed to dislike us immediately for no reason, even though we were pleasant with her. She touched the rim of our glasses when delivering our drinks. I ordered the market hash, and requested no mozzarella, only goat cheese. My husband ordered the tri-athlete. His plate came 20 mins before mine, said it tasted like soggy water logged eggs and it was cold inside. When my food finally came, my husband had already finished his. I ate a few bites to find out they added mozzarella anyway, I was so hungry I ate it anyway even though I'm allergic and will be suffering for it. When we went to pay, the lady asked how our meal was. I was honest and said "not great!" She proceeded to make the excuse that they were so busy today and hopefully next time will be better. I understand a place being busy but I've also worked in the food service industry and know to never serve part of the table and not the rest, especially when it's just a couple. Nothing more uncomfortable on a date than watching the other eat without having food to eat yourself and then vice-versa. read more

Worst service on earth. Literally walked out after an hour of waiting for our food, which we were finally able to order after 20 min+ of waiting for the server to come over. The place wasn't even packed. A table that was empty next to us got their drinks and food in no time, they were almost finished eating while we were still waiting for ours. If I could give them zero stars I would. read more

We did an online order and picked it up. As ALWAYS Check Your Order because it never fails that something in your order will be missing. For us it's always the breakfast meat or the side of potatoes. We sent a relative to pick up the order and failed to give him the heads up. Sure enough, we're missing part of the order. Greenville definitely needs a Snooze restaurant!!! read more

We stopped there for breakfast this morning, and it was packed. We didn't wait long as they were moving them in and out (possibly due to shopping). We each had a barbacoa breakfast burrito, and my wife had a cranberry crush, I had coffee. Her drink was really sweet and rich, and didn't care for it (high price as well), but the coffee and the burritos were definitely on point. Our server was very friendly and professional which made our visit a positive one. All in all a 5 star experience and we will be back. I was lucky enough to have a gift card as the meal bill was $37.00 and change, so minus the high dollar drink my wife had, the bill was not extraordinarily pricey. read more

We had about a 15 minute wait for a table which is what we were told and was reasonable. When we were given a table (2 of us and the table only had 1 chair) we waited 25-30 minutes and we failed to have any contact with a staff. The table next to us was sat at the same time and already had their drinks and orders taken. It was a small area out side with just a few tables and that waiter didn't even look at us. We finally got up and left. read more

Not your run of the mill breakfast spot. Lots of great, unique choices. All fresh ingredients. Check it out.

A lttle slice of heaven! This place rocks the breakfast world. Noteably the best breakfast ever!

I came here with my friends for a girls' brunch on a day with no class. I was super excited to dive in after hearing nothing but good things about this place from their Raleigh location. I then heard equally good things about the Greenville location and knew it was the perfect place for our next brunch outing. After perusing the menu, I was honestly disappointed that there were so few vegan options but knew I could make something work and possibly sneak in a little goat cheese for a treat. So ordered the beet toast on sourdough with the home fries and a coffee. I was impressed to see they had vanilla silk creamer available. When you order coffee they bring a whole carafe which keeps the coffee hot a practically unlimited for the duration of the visit. A few minutes later, our meals came out. I was impressed with the presentation. I loved the flavor of the beet toast and was glad I splurged with the goat cheese as it rounded out the flavors. The home fries were well-seasoned and made perfect with ketchup. I enjoyed the meal overall--both the service and the ambiance were top-notch. I will be returning soon for another memorable brunch. read more

I usually love this place but I had really BAD experience today. We were sat at a dirty table. That should have been a red flag but we allowed them to clean it & we still ordered. When I ordered a drink, they didn't bring the cinnamon stick that Always comes with it. When I asked the server for the cinnamon stick, she rolled her eyes and agreed to bring cinnamon. Then, after ordering my food with extra cheese on top, the server brought my food and I could not see any cheese at all on my hash or on the eggs. She offered to add more cheese which I gladly accepted. All to be given a meal with eggs over cooked (over hard when I asked for over easy). She finally came to check on us 10 min later and that's when the restaurant was closed, chairs were on the tables, they were sweeping around us, and we requested the manager. The only thing the manager had to offer was 50% off the meal, not even preparing our order the way we requested initially. Service has worsened and I would not recommend at all. read more

Self-care Saturday! Shoutout to Taylor she did amazing as my waiter! The Review: Mid. My co-workers recommended this place and I decided I'd give it a try, the place is beautifully built on the inside and out; I ordered the pancakes, million dollar bacon (get the bacon), and omelette (came with potatoes). Pancakes: Solid.....They were good, I love places that take up the whole plate when they make pancakes. Pancakes: 7/10 Million Dollar Bacon: The John Cena of the place, it's essentially bacon with Honey Glazed stuff on top, it's good though. Bacon: 9.9/10 (Took up too much of the plate). Omelette (With Ham): Man oh man. This was the only thing that I didn't like, the ham looked like it had been stuffed in the omelette instead of cooked in the omelette. Also it didn't have a distinctive taste to make it pop from regular omelettes that you could find at the Ihop in this town (the worst Ihop in history!!!!). Omelette: 3/10 (They had parsley on the Omelette) With that being said and done......I WOULD EAT HERE AGAIN! Thank you. Wilmon reviews read more

Came here on a Sunday after church and the place was packed. They told us 30-40 minute wait which was accurate, but what they didn't explain was the 45 minute wait after you are already seated. Food is overpriced but not too expensive if you're not hungry, atmosphere feels very open and there are always people walking by no matter where you're sitting. Service was below average but not terrible, server did not apologize for the wait and maybe talked to us a total of 4 times in the hour we were there and brought us the check randomly in the middle of the meal. Don't go here if you're hungry, and if you do; bring a snack. read more

The food was fantastic as always but our server grigsby was terrible! Yes, very friendly but not attentive at all my boyfriends drink was empty for ten minutes and she never came by or brought him a refill. I also asked for the berry syrup to go with my waffle and she forgot for at least five minutes and finally came back and asked if we needed anything when we had to repeat the request for syrup. By the time the berry syrup finally arrived my waffle was cold and my boyfriend was done his meal! First watch is one of my favorite breakfast places but this employee needs to focus on her commitment to service and the guests requests. read more
