New place in Miami Lakes. Been there twice and both times were delighted. Our server was over the top. Everything fresh and healthy. The omelettes are simply delish. For the bacon lovers, the "Million Dollar Bacon" is a must-have!!! Their artisan toast is amazing with the preserves. The Floridian French Toast with the fresh fruits do not need any syrup. Will continue to be a regular and definitely recommend! read more

First Watch - Decor - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

Mediocre food. Although there was no wait time to be seated, I ordered and waited nearly 32 minutes for a simple egg sandwich to come out. Potatoes were undercooked, and had burnt portions. Sandwich ("Elevated Egg Sandwich") was poorly constructed, burnt and dry bacon, avocado was a mess. Go to the Pembroke Pines location--better quality than Miami Lakes location. read more

This is the classic start-off great and decline over time. So dirty floor, food is so poorly served. Orange juice is not fresh squeezed!!! Pictures and food are a complete mismatch. read more

Haven't been to First Watch in a few years... pleasantly surprised with the food and drink options. Don't remember it being so tasty.. definitely will make this a Funday Brunch day option.... read more

Amazing service! Food is always great and fresh. Cecilia was a great server, very attentive and friendly.

The Miami lakes location has to be the worse service and unorganized place to eat ever . I mean there Custmer service is really bad . Try else where to eat if you don't want to leave with a major headache . read more

The last couple times I have dined at this First Watch, I have had the pleasure to have Lisset as our server. I don't think any service compares to her. She is the sweetest, most attentive person and really makes the dining experience worth the wait. This location definitely handles a busy day well and the food is always great. read more

I love first watch for breakfast, never have had a complaint about it. Their food is fresh and so savory. I love their avocado toast, farm house skillet, and pancakes! Food comes out fast and at a good temperature too. A no brainer when you don't feel like cooking at home! read more

First Watch - Avocado toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

This is by far one of my favorite places for breakfast. What makes it my favorite? Well for one, the decor is warming, farm style without going overboard on the country theme. I love the rack with the daily newspaper as you come in. You usually are greeted promptly. Yes, sometimes you have to go on the wait list but that is what happens when a place is popular, and this is during peak hours and dates. Once seated everything moves efficiently and the servers are friendly. I love that they list the calories on the menu and that they offer healthy alternatives. I love the multi grain toast and that they have an awesome avocado toast. I like that they have herbal tea options and that the pitcher of coffee is left on the table. The selections are thoughtfully put together and are chock full of flavor. I would like to take a little credit for them being in Miami Lakes as I suggested the vacant location would be a great place for them. First Watch, I can never get tired of you! read more

First Watch - One of the skillets. Eggs were perfectly over medium. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

I would like to give a super huge shout out to the server named JESSICA. Very sweet girl, extremely friendly & overall nice person! She deserved MORE than tip we gave her. She was all smiles, prompt w/our order & served us with a very pleasant attitude. Future guests need to ask for her... Jessica darlin' u da bomb dot com!!! :-) read more

The food is always spot on! I feel like the waiters can be more attentive(keep in my mind I'm hard to please sometimes), overall everyone was awesome warm and friendly. read more

Wow the hostess has a bit of an attitude, not really wanting to go and get her name. The one who is working on July 31, 2021 at 11:55 AM. We only asked if we can get a bigger table than the teeny one they wanted to put us on. She started laughing with a coworker about it! And also rolling her eyes when she was telling the cashier that we were waiting because "apparently they need a bigger table". Really??!! The customers pay their salary and who the heck cares if we decided to wait a little bit longer? Not good. I'm only staying because I have a buy one get one free for my birthday. It will be a very long time before I spend my money at this store again... Miami Lakes...It's sad because I only live five minutes from here read more

Challenging to decide what to order each time i go here. All menu items are so good, well prepared and delicious

Amazing breakfast! What's even better is the clean, and inviting dinning tables. Not your ordinary HOPs booths. The menu fits any desire from vegan to meat lovers!! Love love it!! Avocado toast YUM! read more

I have never tried this place before.... I found out about this place from a friend. The atmosphere of the restaurant is amazing I love the fact that they have a southern feel to it. Our server Michael was excellent and took great care of us. The pancake was tasty. I definitely will be back again read more

First Watch - Pancake eggs and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

See all

Ate here with my husband and really enjoyed our breakfast. Service was quick. I would eat here again.

This is my first time at this location and I was pleased with the food as well as the service. I ordered the farmhouse hash which is a bowl with potato, bacon, avocado, onions, bell pepper, and 2 eggs on top. It comes with a side of fruits and bread with jelly. The food was a 10/10 I have nothing negative to say about the food. We used the yelp app to get on the waitlist ahead of head as I already knew there'd be a lot of people. Once we got there and checked in the wait was only about 15-20 minutes. Will be coming back here again ! read more

First Watch - Farmhouse hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

Servers take forever to take your order, don't understand what well done potatoes are and I had to send the potatoes back twice and still couldn't get it right. Manager apologized but did nothing to make things right. I come here 3-4 times a week and I will not be coming back anymore. I've also noticed the h they began to give smaller portions and than the usual. Feel like I'm getting a kids meal. read more

The food was good but the service... It was a rainy day so half of the outside tables were wet but there was an empty table next to the wall that was dry and I asked to be seated there and it was like the host didn't want to occupy that area. Finally, he gave me the table but it took long for a waiter go to take our order. When the food cane we didn't have cutlery because nobody took care of us. My plate included a toast but they forgot it and I asked for it to the person who bring us the forks but nothing happened. When the waiter came with the bill I told him what happened and he told me if I want the toast to take home, but what will I want a toast to go?, I want it with my breakfast. I told that to the cashier and she not even say sorry or offer a discount. In addition, someone spilled a coffee at the restaurant entrance and the waiters dried it with napkins but the floor was dirty, and the trash can overflew. The outside tables were all dirty, full of leftovers and dirty plates. Actually, I will not repeat my visit over there, if I want to eat First Watch food, I'll go to the Miramar restaurant. read more

Good food but is it worth the wait? They have an online (get in line) waitlist. Great! Save some time before we get there. It said 30-45mins online. Wrong, check in person and it's a 30-45 min wait. The online list is "just to get your information" according to the host. So a 30-mins wait after thinking you're actually in line. That alone was enough to say forget it. Sit down and another 50+ minutes to get food. I couldn't even get my half filled coffee refilled for 30-mins. Oh and to top it off, this is the first store/restaurant/office I've ever been to since March 2020 that does not have one hand sanitizer station in the entire building. It felt like a mess. Service was below average too maybe it was a low staff day? Managers: it's a restaurant and we still have a pandemic get some hand sanitizer stations. That was maybe the most shocking thing of all. Food was good though the bacon came out lukewarm. It's not 90-mins wait good though. It seemed like the to-go orders get in the way, given the people waiting for the bags. It may be time for this place to decide if it's wants to be sit down or cater to more to go it's does not seem to be able to do both. I doubt I'll be back and that's a shame given we live 5-mins away. read more

Zero stars was not an option. The food was horrible wait time for pick up misleading. They can't even make eggs they burnt them to grey. Wtf? read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

First watch is one of my favorite places to go for breakfast. I first went to the Pembroke Pines location where the food & service is excellent so I was glad to hear they were opening a First Watch in Miami Lakes. Unfortunately I've had more than a few bad experiences eating at this location. The food is very good but the service is just TERRIBLE. In the past 2 weeks we have gone 3 times and each time I kept getting disappointed. The Host is always very nice and welcoming but after that it's not as enjoyable. Twice we've been seated and have waited more than 15 minutes just to get greeted, I had to get up an get the attention of a waiter to even let them know. On other occasions they tell you the wait is anywhere from 20-30 minutes even though half the restaurant has open tables. It's unfortunate because the food is great but the service/management at this Miami lakes location needs a lot of improvement. read more

I come to this place all the time and I'm always pleased. Service is always impeccable and food is always spot on delicious. They could work on seating times however I understand we are still in a pandemic and they aren't at 100% seating yet so they get a pass on that for now! Still would recommend this place! read more

I love first watch but nothing beats the first watch on 67th! Their service is amazing , today Aisha took care of my friends and I and I had to come on Yelp and leave a review because only a tip can't express the gratitude I have for the wonderful service received . It's not all the time where you go to an establishment and get a combination of great food and customer service . The positive energy given from Aisha today has me contemplated on what is my favorite thing about first watch . The food ? The service ? Idk I love them both . If you want breakfast just come here , that's it . PERIOD read more

First Watch - dining area - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

Currently here at the restaurant on a 40 min ticket time w a 25% full restaurant. I work in the food industry as a line cook so I might be lil judgmental but nevertheless, waiting 30+ min for 2 fried eggs and potatoes is outrageous. Now .... The potatoes.. you'd expect them to be perfect for the amount of time waited. Them taters were rock hard n undercooked, how do you even have the audacity to send them out is beyond me. read more

The food sounds good on the menu, but has little to no flavor and everything brought out cold except the grits & coffee. Not worth the wait.

You can tell the manager is not doing his job. No one attends to you. The employees all gathered and talking for 20 mins.

Service is horrible. Waitress has looked 10 times at my empty cup and never refilled it.

Once we ordered it took 40 minutes to get our food. The food is good and the price stand behind the quality of it. However, I don't think I'm coming back due to wait times. read more

Food is fantastic. You me want to get early because there is always people waiting to get sit.

Love their breakfast , make sure you mark your spot in line cuz it willy air 45min to an hr

After a ver long waiting (1 hour) in this place I ask a girl with the red hair in the door I guess she is a hostess( no tag with name on it) I ash the fiat an she told me that I gave 5 people in front of me , and when I ask for second time she just told me that the people that she passed was in front of me because they had made a reservation online with some unprofessional altitude she told me that she is always very Bondadosa !! And she can not pass me because the boss was there. I never ask to be seated in front of anyone and she does not to be bondadosa she just need to do her job and that's it. After I ask we were sitting immediately. I thing the food is great but is a shame that the waiting time and the very unprofessional people make the experience not to pleasant. Buy the way the outdoor was close. I hope you can take this consideration. read more

Food and service amazing. I met a friend for breakfast and the menu has great healthy choices. This was my friend's first visit and he loved the food he ordered. The waitress came to our table at least four times to make sure we were happy with our choice of meal and to refill our drinks. read more

My husband and I had an outstanding dining experience. Our breakfast was very delicious! Our server, Susie was extaordinary! She attended to our needs very graciously and in a highly professional manner. Susie truly demonstrated what A++ service should look. I had to let her manager know before we left how we enjoyed our wonderful breakfast. When Shanetta the manager arrived, I remembered seeing her in the kitchen helping out, due to a backup in the kitchen. Since the service was very accommodating and the breakfast was superb, the backup was not a problem at all. It was very inspirational to see how everyone worked as a team to ensure excellent service. I applaud Shanetta for her exceptional leadership. Thank you! Keep up the great work!! read more

I love this place, I've never been disappointed by any of my orders. Unfortunately, many people feel the same way so be prepared to wait for your food. I always try to grab a seat at the family style bar tables so I don't have to wait to be seated. I always end up making friends here cuz I talk too much. The only downside of all their greatness is that omggg the food takes eons to come out. Go with a friend and catch up on life while you wait for your food so you won't be hangry hehehe. They also have free coffee for you if you are brave and want to wait for a table. Oh! There's also an app you can download and put yourself in line virtually as you make your way to the restaurant, how high tech is that? read more

Service was slow. We ordered Açaí bowls and they took a little over 30 mins to serve it to us. It was in the middle of the day around 11am on a Wednesday. The host was a little outspoken and off putting, he might have been just trying to make people laugh. Will try it out again though. read more

Hair in my food ! TWICE!! I've never done this before but this is Absolutely disgusting. My boyfriend & I stepped in for breakfast. We were helped right away. When my food came, I noticed there was a long, black, curly hair on it. I kindly informed the server Cassandra of this gross fact & asked her to get me a new order to go. She apologized & told me she'd get me a new order. At this point I opted for a to go plate because we'd lost so much time in there already. When we I finally got home, I opened up my to go plate & there it was again !!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!! They didn't serve me a new plate they just threw it - hair and all- into a to go container. NEVER EVER COMING BACK!!!! This is UNACCEPTABLE. The fact that they didn't even serve me a new plate- but just threw it all on a container is an INSULT to a paying customer. This is unacceptable- don't come here. I feel so disrespected & frankly don't trust whoever is back there in the kitchen. The server was nice. But I this is not ok. Order #: 30038 Served at 11:57 Server: Cassandra Location: 16935 nw 67th ave Ordered the Market Hash read more

First Watch - Hair in my food ! TWICE!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

First Watch is one of my favorite breakfast restaurants. I drive from Dadeland to N Miami just to enjoy their great cooking. This morning I was initially disappointed because my breakfast took almost a half an hour to be served, and when it arrived, it was cold. My excellent and very considerate waitress, Melissa, kept updating me during my wait and made sure I had my coffee warmed. But I sent the meal back and asked to speak with the manager. I think his name was Angelo, who came to my table, apologized for the wait, took my plate and personally returned a couple of minutes later with piping hot pancakes and eggs, which were, as usual, excellent. While initially disappointed, my gracious, attentive waitress and the professional manager determined to keep a patron happy , changed a complaint into a happy, repeat customer. The ambience, great service and good food will keep people coming back. read more
