This was my first experience at this location and I was pleasantly surprised. The hostesses were very friendly and welcoming as well as our waitress. We ordered the blueberry lemon cornbread to start which is a seasonal item. I am not a fan of cornbread but theirs was absolutely delicious! It was moist and very flavorful. I had half a ham and gruyere melt and their soup of the day which was cheddar broccoli soup. My children enjoyed their French toast. The food came out fast enough and overall it was a good experience. I would definitely return to this location in the future. read more

First time visiting this location today. And I enjoyed eating there, we went a little early to be the Sunday breakfast rush the location is great and staff were very nice. My only compliant is that the ceiling tiles could use being replaced and the vents dusted. There was such an accumulation of buildup and it was the only downside. And across multiple vents and tiles. read more

My daughter come here often for a Saturday mom/daughter date and it never disappoints! The service is always excellent, the coffee is always hot and I love how I can refill the coffee from the carafe they put on the table. Their million dollar potatoes are delicious and decadent but the ham and Gruyère omelet is my favorite. The pancakes are delicious and huge and their kids meals are a great deal! This place is very family friendly but also has an upscale feel to it while maintaining a relaxed and casual atmosphere. read more

I gave this place a couple of tries and it was disappointing both times. First visit, they gave us Pancakes burnt on one side. They smartly put the burnt side at the bottom and served it to us. We noticed the burnt flavor as soon as we took a bite. We let the server know and they replaced it but I am not happy with the way their tried to deceive us. Second visit, we used the "Get-Inline" feature on their website and checked in upon arrival, but staff consistently seated other parties who arrived after us. When we questioned the delay, they dismissed our complaint and blamed us for not checking in. We waited too long already and it was too late to go anywhere else. They finally gave us the table. Every dish we ordered had way too much salt, to the point where it was inedible. At this point, I did not even bother complaining. We just paid our check and walked out. read more

Food is simply too expensive for the quality. Usually things are cooked well but very bland. It's definitely not a high flavor profile place and seems more like a corporate brand that pushes mediocre cuisine and passes it off as high quality. Have you ever had free breakfast at a Marriott? Something like that. read more

Always good good friendly and a pleasant place to eat. Sometimes a wait but always worth it

Great outdoor dining though there are only a handful of tables. I would love it of they were able to expand their outdoor seating. FW serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch. I like the power bowl options with quinoa. I ordered the quinoa bowl, minus tomatoes, with basil pesto, chicken, feta, delicious all around. Hubs had the biscuits and gravy which he said was delicious. read more

We have gone to this restaurant almost every Sunday for months. The service is and has been excellent. Unfortunately, of the last month, the food quality has dropped significantly with food being burnt, cold, raw, etc. Today we ordered 3 well-done waffles, a grilled blueberry muffin, and bacon. The bacon and muffin were burnt. The waffles were mangled and raw. We sent the food back and talked with the manager, Ashley. We then received 4 or 5 replacement waffles that were mangled, raw, or both. The manager did not check on us, but just sent more waffles. When we asked her back to the table, she comped the meal. At this point only one person had an edible waffle, the other two were hungry. I tried to explain to Ashley, that we did not want free inedible food. Comping the meal does not fix the problem. She refused to listen, turned her back, and stormed off rudely. We left hungry. We will not be returning. read more

Best breakfast spot hands down. Real food , competitive prices and friendly staff. You won't be disappointed

Great brunch spot. Love the food. The service is good. They usually have nice seasonal items and good juices. Coffee is okay. Overall worth going with friends. They have outdoor seating which is nice. The biggest issue is how loud it is. It is a very popular place for good reason but you can't really hear the people you are with. They have good lunch items. The club is great. There tomato soup is very good. Breakfast is great too. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy. The eggs Benedict and hash is very good. The juices are good but a little pricey. read more

We've been to this first watch a few times. Each time the food is magnificent and the service is great. For our experience today we had Summer as our server and she was so professional and polite. If you haven't tried the chorizo and green chili omelette, I highly suggest, it was amazing! The interior vibe is chill and there's plenty of parking outside. read more

Food is good, their service is usually amazing. Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day. Eggs over easy, corned beef hash if I can get it and for the right biscuits and gravy, I'm known to drive cross country for it. Their Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy and Eggs is my go to. And did I mention the grits? Quality and predictable which means a lot when you're on the road. read more

So busy but they move folks through pretty quickly, we had a party of seven on a Saturday morning and it was only a 15 minute wait. The server was very friendly and attentive but again very busy so took a little long to get things. Food was good I'd asked for bacon crispy but it wasn't and my pancakes were warm not hot. But still everything else that was ordered was very good. read more

The food was amazing I had the salmon Omelette I give a ten out of ten The server was so nice a was very attentive to the table her name was Michelle it was so sad the here see was had a bad day so I hope this makes her day see was so kind the food was so good I have no complaints. read more

Always good to go to First watch. Ambience is good and service is on point. Try it out if you're around.

Second and now third time around and I can honestly say that I like them. Servers absolutely makes a huge impact and difference in an establishment. Our first time was in August for one of my daughter's birthday. Our server made her feel very special and I love the fact that when they over cooked my poached egg, they made me a new one without me asking. Kudos to the cook who knew what they were cooking and how it's cooked. On our second time, brought another child and she got a full kid's waffle and she loved it. Our server was a nice gentleman and very attentive. I got the poutine since I kind of miss it being from Quebec. I wanted to see how they fair. But alas, it was missing sauce and lack of cheese. I like my poutine with loads of cheese and gravy. It was good though and more on the healthy side. It was a good healthy alternative. Now, our third time. We are so lucky to have our second server and even though it has been a long time, he still recognized us! How cool is that! Got the Baconado this time and I love the salad. It's lightly dressed and fresh. Their Belgian waffles are very fluffy and buttery. The only thing that might needs tweaking is in the fruit bowl. The pineapple core is too hard and should be cut off. Overall, our experience at this establishment has been spot on! Continue with being awesome and you'll not lose any customers. read more

My server was great and the food was good except for the avocado in my omelette. Also, you guys should include Splenda as a sweetener option. :) read more

Great food! I ordered the deluxe breakfast and everything tasted great. The potatoes were a little undercooked but had great flavor. I loved the branding on everything from the bag to the syrup containers, bag, and platters, etc. I also loved the condiments that were all natural (jelly, ketchup, etc). It was a very pleasant meal. read more

I had a disappointing experience picking up a to-go order from First Watch in Holly Springs today. My order was supposed to be ready at 10:37 AM--I arrived by 10:39, grabbed the bag, and walked to my car. Something felt off, so I checked the bag and realized a blueberry pancake was missing. I went back in to let the staff know, and there was no apology or acknowledgment--just a flat "Okay, I got you." I then waited another 10-15 minutes while multiple people asked what I was waiting for, but no one actually helped--until a kind guy who was bussing tables finally stepped in, made me feel heard, and got things taken care of. He was the only one who treated me like a valued customer. In the end, my order was nearly 20 minutes late--and I was bringing breakfast to my mom, who's recovering from hernia surgery. As someone who spent over a decade working in the food industry, this experience was frustrating. It felt like the staff were just going through the motions. I even tipped ahead of time, and now I regret doing that. I don't expect perfection, but a little courtesy and basic communication go a long way. read more

First watch is a staple for the wife and I at this point. We come here every single Sunday after our morning walk, and the experience is always delicious and satisfying! Now I'm not sure how many people utilize this, but First Watch does have an online wait list, which you can sign up for prior to arriving. It's a phenomenal system that can help save you time. We usually like to sign up for the wait list as we're leaving our walk, and it takes about 15 minutes for us to drive to First Watch, and once we're signed in, we practically never wait longer than 5 additional minutes. The food is always tasty! Look, I won't claim it's the best breakfast you'll ever have, but it comes out quick, always tastes good, the service is efficient and speedy and the overall vibe of the place is enjoyable. To me, that's perfection. I've probably tried half their menu at this point, but my typical go-to meal is the trifecta, which is a combo of eggs, your choice of pancake or waffle and your choice of bacon or sausage. *chefs kiss* Come on by and you won't be disappointed! read more

Last summer this was the place to be. Great food and servers, sweet managers that always talked to our kids and gave a Military discount . Hell half the time they'd remember we served before we even ask about a discount. Remembered us by name. Everything is dusty, servers scream at each other in the kitchen (it's an open kitchen) and no one bats an eye. The manager, big fella(?), rainbow hair is always outside leaning on their car no matter if we're coming or going. read more

We enjoy eating at First Watch. My kids love it too. They have so many choices of food items that you cannot go wrong when choosing something delicious. My favorite is the SWEET HONEY PECAN SALAD. The dressing with the salad is so delicious also. I ordered the half sandwich and half salad this last time. My oldest she ordered a breakfast item and it was delicious too. We both shared and the portions are always more than enough. The customer service has always been wonderful. We have only been to the Holly Springs location so far. I love how it's decorated in there. There is so much natural light also because of all of the windows which is great. read more

We really wanted to like this place. Super cute and our server Jesus was so great. Very friendly and helpful. But the breakfast was just meh. Two of us had the bacon Benedict and it wasn't great. I didn't like how it was stretched across the bread, hard to eat, and the hollandaise was thin and bland. My husband had a basic bacon and eggs and he didn't like it either. One bright spot was the fruit - love to see it as an option. read more

Overall I waited a few times before making a review of this place due to a bad Experience at the one in Cary & it's a chain. The service at this location is great, I've never had an issue with quick, courteous service! Now the food. It's supposed to be a healthier breakfast. They have many healthier options and always offer healthier sides. I usually gravitate towards an omelet (either the loaded one or the bacon one) with a side of potatoes and bread. I do enjoy the multi grain bread. Always very fresh and delicious. Overall this place will give you a good breakfast Expierance, quick service and good food. read more

First Watch is my new go-to brunch restaurant! The workers are friendly, and we now have a regular waiter who serves us well. The food is absolutely amazing quality, and always tastes fresh. My family and I come here at least once or twice a month! I love their chia seed pudding, and the hash meals are great if you want a bigger meal, super filling! Overall, this is a great, family friendly restaurant and I would recommend it to anyone who loves healthy hearty food! read more

I was sooo disappointed I had high hopes for this place since I really enjoyed there other location in Raleigh, service was good and sadly that was it, I ordered the Elevated Egg Sandwich it was super soggy the avocado was super salty, my wife ordered the Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl lol the eggs were so over cooked, the barbacoa was actually good but sadly gave 2 pieces and not shredded like the picture shows, maybe it was an off day, hoping it was cause it has potential, the ambiance wasn't bad will try again. read more

We went there for brunch, and the pancakes didn't disappoint. The carrot cake and pecan pancake was good, but the banana almond granola crunch was awesome! Would definitely get the banana almond granola crunch again, as they mix real banana in with the pancake mix. It almost didn't need the peanut butter and maple syrup... (I would suggest asking for peanut butter, as it was extremely good with it) The waitress was friendly. Basically the only thing that I was disappointed in was the diet coke, it didn't taste quite right... One person thought it was an off brand, while I suspect the issue was the mix of syrup to water probably wasn't right. Like it was a bit too heavy on the syrup side. And honestly, with that being the only disappointment... That's great! read more

Ate breakfast here with my family, it was 8 of us and they got us in & out! The food was also on point I ordered the Cobb salad and it was everything I expected and more.

Finally made it in for breakfast at this fairly new location. Came in at 9am, it was quite busy with lots of to-go orders. Although they were busy our food arrived quick. The breakfast menu offered a nice selection of items from healthy to hearty. The carnitas burrito- seasonal item looked yummy as advertised so we ordered that along the chickichanga . Oh boy! Let me tell you about that burrito! The green salsa was so good. The burrito was filing, flavorful and nicely presented. The chickichanga was good however I wish they served the avocado on top with salsa on the side- tasty as well. Super pleased with the food! Definitely a hearty breakfast. COVID restrictions in place, gloves and masks worn by staff. Our waitress Summer was sweet and attentive. read more

I am so happy that a First Watch opened in Holly Springs! We placed our order online for pickup and it only took 20 minutes to prepare. I ordered the chile chorizo omelet and a fresh-squeezed OJ for me, the inspired italian omelet for my husband and the trifecta (carrot cake for the pancake) for my mom. The omelets are served with a side salad, fruit or breakfast potatoes and toast. All of the food was great! The only thing we didn't care for was the carrot cake pancake (my mom mentioned she would opt for a different flavor next time). Overall, this is a fantastic breakfast spot. read more

Extremely underwhelming. They only have chicken sausage. No pork. All the food was extremely bland with NO flavor. Will never come back.

Whenever I go, the food and service are always great; I highly recommend the elevated egg sandwich. It's simple but delicious. The decor makes you feel at home with little touches that keep you looking around at all that's there. And it's a spotless and sanitary place to eat out. Def recommend a brunch date or a girl's afternoon. read more
