I walked into First Watch and was seated immediately. Kailyn was my server and provided the most down to earth experience that I've had in quite some time! Her and Sabrina offered me great recommendations. I'm a fan of the kale and apple juice, now, thanks to Sabrina! I settled on a veggie frittata that was very filling. Definitely going to be my new breakfast place of choice! Even though they just opened, there is no drop off from my experiences at other more tenured locations. Thank you Kailyn for letting me be your first customer ever! Great staff and food read more

The food choices are good...from traditional breakfast to healthier choices.We got the trifecta-2 eggs a Belgian waffle(or pancake) ,and 1 tiny sausage link.The coffee is THREE BUCKS a cup!! The food was good but pricey in my opinion. read more

My family and I love First Watch. We would go all the time in Florida. I was so excited when I saw one being built in Hershey. Avocado Toast, Eggs Benedict and Floridian French Toast are some of my favorites. Bon Appetit! read more

The food was amazing but we had to wait 45 minutes for it to come out. I had the power wrap and my friend had the avacado toast.

Service-good Food delivery-bad Too long of a wait for food. 30 minutes for my order sandwich & salad Daughters order coconut oatmeal with fruit 2 over easy eggs. Just bad no fresh juices either. read more

Good meal. Service was a little slow and food took awhile but it's still the first week of operation. A little on the pricey side. But will return. read more

The service here is great! Thank you Kelly for being such a great server. As always, the food is OUTSTANDING! We will definitely be back! read more

First Watch - Chickichanga, potatoes, fresh fruit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

Food was great, a little pricey for what it was but still a very good brunch spot that's not a chain restaurant. The wait was a bit long, 40 minutes and our food took a while to come as well. But still if you aren't in a hurry I recommend this place! read more

I stumbled upon First Watch after searching unsuccessfully for vegan breakfast options in Hershey. When my husband and I visited around 9:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning, we joined a crowd of people waiting to be seated. The hostess assured me that vegan options were available so we decided to wait. While waiting, we noticed that the service tends to be slow and a bit unorganized as other reviews state. However, once we received our food we felt like the care put into the food preparation may contribute to the slower service. I had the AM Superfoods Bowl which consisted of a chia seed/coconut milk pudding with granola and fruit, as well as fresh bread with almond butter, which I was told was vegan as-is without modifications. Everything was so delicious that I plan to try to replicate it at home. My husband (who is clearly not vegan) enjoyed his cornbread carnitas bowl. They did forget the cornbread at first, but promptly returned with two pieces. Hershey is not exactly a vegan-friendly place, especially for breakfast options, so First Watch was a great find! read more

I love eating here with my friends. All the staff is very friendly and the food is amaaazing

We've been waiting to come and try this place, but probably won't be back (it's not worth waiting for the food, even though the eggs were good). Irv's Pub, Troeg's, and the Hershey Pantry are all better options in our opinion. Or, drive out to Harrisburg for a better brunch experience at the Millworks or Home 231. We were seated before the expected time utilizing the app, which we appreciated . The waitress was cold to us from the beginning. We didn't receive water for the table until after about 45 minutes of sitting there while still waiting for our food, which took forever to come out (two other groups complained about their long wait for food, as well, as we were waiting). The eggs were very good. The pancakes came out warm at best. The specialty beverages are not with it. You're paying $3.99 for a cup filled to capacity with ice (the restaurant should think about changing the cup size or utilizing less ice for the perception of receiving more beverage to the consumer). read more

So great! Had to wait a little bit on Sunday morning. But it was so worth it! The million dollar bacon slapped

Very long wait to get seated, menu had healthier selection then I was used to for breakfast, very tasty. Not sure if it was my taste buds or not, but it was the beat coffee I had in months. Not sure what they serve, but I would go back for the coffee alone. And the Wait staff was very friendly. read more

This is easily one of my favorite breakfast places in the area. The food comes out relatively quickly even on days when it is packed, and always tastes delicious. The atmosphere can be a little claustrophobic sometimes but that is only due in part to how successful they have become. My only complaint is that pretty consistently the servers have been a little bit to lax with service and do not come to the table often. If you are going to go I recommend the biscuits and gravy, amazing! read more

Good place for brunch. Nice atmosphere and great location in Hershey. Food was great & served fast. They could use some work on their staff.

Always great takeout. Food is great quality and the people there are so friendly and nice. Breakfast is amazing there.

I've eaten at First Watch restaurants around the country and they are always good. Took my wife and daughter for breakfast this morning. Service was very good. We were seated promptly and our server was very friendly. (Plus she wrote down our order which I appreciate). I had the lemon pancakes with chicken sausage and kale tonic. Wife had pancakes with cheesy grits. The kid had biscuits and gravy. All food was hot and arrived quickly. The only minor issue was my daughters scrambled eggs were slightly under cooked. Otherwise we were pleased. We left talking about what we'll have next time we visit. Restaurant was very clean and bright. read more

First Watch has the best food but the one thing is that it takes half hour to 45 minutes to get your food and thats it so yea!!!

My most favorite place in Hershey! Excellent food. The Service and people are great. This place is always busy.

Loved this place! Great atmosphere and food. I'm one of those picky eaters that only choose one thing on a menu to enjoy and never get anything different- I can tell you with this restaurant it won't be the case. Looking at all the different amazing things from the menu, I can't wait to come back and try something else. read more

UPDATE: We decided to wait to try the food. It was not worth the wait. It took a LONG time to get food in spite of telling our server we had another commitment to get to in an hour. One of our orders was completely wrong. In spite of knowing we were short on time, the offer was to remake the order. At checkout the hostess offered us a $2 coupon when I responded that our meal was only OK. There are many better brunch choices. In Hershey try The Mill which is delicious and offers mimosas and bloody Mary's. The Pantry is excellent but not open Sundays. In Harrisburg Tomato Pie Cafe is a similar menu to First Watch and consistently excellent. Original Review: No idea if it's good. I was told 30-45 minute wait which has come and gone. There are 4 empty tables on the patio that have been empty the entire time 2 of us were waiting. Very poorly managed and understaffed for a Sunday morning. Look elsewhere. read more

First Watch in Hershey is my #1 favorite place to eat. The menu is filled with great choices and the food is always cooked perfectly using fresh top quality ingredients. The staff is professional, friendly, efficient and always ready to make your dining experience the best it can be. The facility is clean and I'm so impressed with how they have maintained strict CDC guidelines during this past year so I know it's a safe place for my family when we want to go out to eat. First Watch is a great asset to downtown Hershey. read more

It's a very bad place for foreign tourists. We went on Saturday, and was annoying for the waitress that we didn't have a US phone number to do the check-in. (We had one international number but looks like it doesn't work to do the check-in.) So, she requested us to wait for 15 minutes outside, she might call us at any moment (Around 3ºC), finally we waited for 1 hour and she never call us (Even when we ask her for a table multiples times and the same answer --15 minutes--). And the worse part, all the couples with check-in after us got a table first than us! Extremely disappointing. read more

Ate there 3 times in a week, food was ok. Coffee was like brown water, but ok. Tried to eat there Friday. Called to order ahead for pickup. They won't take the order over the phone, want me to use the app or the website. I'm not happy. I'm literally on the phone with you right now. You're redirecting me to download an app or go to the website. Not happy. But I do it bc I would like avocado toast. I go to the website. Of course I need to create an account. Try to checkout as a guest. Find what I need. Avocado toast, check. Brown water coffee, check. The website won't proceed past the pay portion. Aaaaaaand I'm done. It doesn't seem hard. You have the food. I have money and I'm trying to give it to you in exchange for the food. You literally have me on the phone and you redirect me to jump through broken hoops. And you lost me. read more

My husband and I stopped in here for breakfast before house hunting and we loved it. I had the breakfast tacos and he had the breakfast carnitas burrito, both were delicious and the coffee was good. On top of great food, Sherri, our waitress was Fantastic. Super friendly and stayed on top of everything we needed. I will definitely be back. read more

Great for a little get together with 4 people. A great choice if you want a healthier option. Great staff. Just love this place!

This place was fabulous!! Two couples of us sat down to real organic, tasty food. The service was first rate also. The only negative is the wait to be seated. Everyone seems to love this place. It is a breakfast and lunch restaurant. We have been traveling but are resuming our visit soon. read more

Horrible service. Seated quickly due to app reservation. Waited 15 minutes for someone to acknowledge us sitting at table, another 15minutes for our drinks, over 20 minutes for our food. Waitress wrote everything down and they still messed up order. Forgot potatoes, came back a minute later and they were hardly cooked and pale. Time to find another breakfast place, I already knew that the wait times were ridiculous. But now it's not worth it if the food is crap. read more

We have eaten at First Watch in the South and the food is unique and outstanding, no difference in the Hershey First Watch. It was very busy but everyone was polite, friendly and professional. One thing I noticed in Hershey First Watch is the ceiling is high which makes it very difficult to have a conversation with people. Acoustics are horrible but the food is excellent. read more

The food was good, but portions were small, especially considering the prices, which were higher than a typical breakfast place. The service was fine, a little hurried and not very warm. Hostess taking money at register was also handling silverware and making up utensil bundles. read more

Just stopped in for breakfast and met with family and had a rude server throughout the whole experience. When we joined our family, they asked us 3 times to order within the first 5 minutes we were there. After ordering, we waited 45 minutes for our food. It arrived less than hot, and then, before we could even start eating, our server came and dropped off the check. It was off-putting enough to make me want to write this review and will not be going there again. read more

My wife and I had a terrible experience at this location. We have been to two other locations and love first watch. The food is fantastic and very fresh. When we went here the server left the previous glasses on the table, with the tip money still under the glasses, and argued that they were clean. There was orange juice still in the cups but she continued to argue that they were clean. We asked to speak to a manager. When we finally found him he was very dismissive and rude as well. We will never return to this location. read more

My wife likes it here, she thinks it's sheik. I think it's too pricey, service is poor, loud, coffee too strong(tastes like road tar)....Take my advise, go to the Soda Jerk in Hummelstown read more

Awesome time!! Christie couldn't have been better. So personal and informative about the area. Would dine here again just for her service.

Place was mediocre at best breakfast was cold potatoes were under cooked and eggs over cooked. Price was over 15 bucks with tip what a dud

Love the food and the service. My family and I are always lucky to get Kelly as our server and she's great!!! We always try a new menu item each time we visit. The food never disappoints. It is quite refreshing to have a restaurant in Hershey that provides a different type of charm. read more

Really liked this place. No nonsense breakfast food and coffee. Location excellent.

The food here was awesome; however, when I asked for coffee, the waitress came back with just water!! I still didn't say anything because I thought maybe it was one of those places where they give you water no matter what, but that wasn't the case because I never got any coffee. The waitress either has to learn the difference between normal water and coffee, or just get hearing aids. 3/5. read more

Love love love this chain. We eat at first watch in KC every time we are back home. Great food and vegetarian options are very tasty. I get the Bacado skillet and it's so yummy, but most certainly not vegetarian. read more

Food was okay, but literally the worst service I have ever received. We sat hungry and thirsty at the table for a full 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledged our existence. We ordered beverage and meals at once. Water never made it to the table, despite 2 empty water glasses. It took another 10 minutes for juice to show up and ANOTHER 30 minutes for the omelette and French toast to arrive. Cold. I had to ask for my coffee twice and my daughter waited - you guessed it - another 10 minutes for syrup after the food finally made it to the table. My advice: eat before you go, you'll be hungry again before you get your food. read more
