Great food and great service, what more could you ask for? Beware though as the day goes on, especially on the weekends, the restaurant gets VERY busy. I would recommend stopping by earlier if you're hoping to get right in and out! read more

I went here on a Saturday at around 11 o'clock. The place was packed and people were out on the sidewalk waiting to be seated. My party and I had called ahead and put our name on the waitlist but we still had to wait around 20 minutes to be seated which wasn't bad and we didn't mind. I really liked the options on the menu because I personally thought there was a decent selection of dishes to choose from. The menu catered well to sweet and salty breakfast/brunch options which I really liked. I decided to go with the sweeter rout that day so I got a Sunrise Granola Bowl. The bowl honestly wasn't anything extraordinary but I really enjoyed it. I also liked that it came with a small muffin but I would have liked for there to be more yogurt. One thing I will say is that I also got an iced coffee here and I absolutely loved it I almost ordered a second because the coffee was so good! read more

My husband and I want here for brunch about a week ago. I loved that they had biscuits and gravy erase from turkey, and they allow me to mix my own mimosas! The food was generally good and the service was great. Parking is what it is downtown but the building is located right next to a parking garage so that's convenient. I would come back to this location again, our experience was enjoyable read more

I love love love first watch. We have been to this restaurant in various cities. Menu is consistent along with the service at each. My skillet was perfect and I can't wait for the one I hear is coming to Tallahassee which makes me so happy! read more

Terrible service and horrible food. Ordered breakfast and the place was nearly empty but it took 25 minutes to get it. Ordered bacon and they didn't bring it. The food tasted old and extremely strong flavor of citrus and it was very off-p utting. Now I understand why they are empty in the morning. I won't return and I have eaten at a lot of first watches over the years. This one is gross. read more

The food was decent and our server was attentive. It was early and there was only 1 other table of guests when we arrived and they still sat us at the table closest to the bathroom. read more

Meh .... Coffee was kind of bitter. The pancake was pretty good. I had the trifecta but the eggs tasted weird and the bacon wasn't spectacular. The plates and the presentation was more of the star than the food was. I was kind of disappointed for the price and portion it was,I was not moved. read more

First Watch is exactly what you want out of a breakfast place. It's located near the Circle Center in Downtown Indianapolis. My friend and I parked in a parking garage a few blocks away and enjoyed a short walk over to the restaurant. It was Sunday afternoon, so there was a bit of a wait, but the beauty of this downtown location is that you can explore the surrounding shops, and the monument, while you wait for a table. I ordered the iced coffee and breakfast hash. The food was delicious, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The waiter was very friendly and stopped by several times to check in on us. The coffee was a little too sweet for my taste, so I wouldn't order it again, but the breakfast hash was fantastic! This location is also nearby a few hotels, so it's a great spot to grab breakfast while you're visiting before you explore the city. I would definitely recommend you check it out. read more

I was looking for a good place to have brunch. My first time traveling to Indianapolis. The service experience makes me leave a low rating. We came to the restaurant and waited 30 minutes to be seated. However, there were large groups ahead of us and individuals behind us who were served before us. It took an hour to be served and when served, food was not prepared to our expectations. I requested for food not to have onions as I am allergic to it, and the plate had onions. My friends eggs were watery, the potatoes were cold, and the vegetarian burger was dried. The lack of communication made the experience regretful and the lack of sensitivity to a hungry toddler and us who came in before some of the other parties who received their food before us, left a lot to desire from Indianapolis hospitality. read more

We have tried First Watch in other cities but never in our own! We went during brunch hours and half of party had lunch and half had breakfast. One person tried the juice bar and raved! Gluten-free and vegetarian options with oatmilk for coffee available! Staff is what tipped this to a 5! Knowledgeable, friendly and hustle is what came to mind watching them. Fun to spend a Sunday morning downtown too. Encourage all to try! read more

First Watch is usually one of my favorite breakfast spots and I was stoked when my brother told me there was one in downtown Indy. I got my usual of avocado toast with no lemon and two eggs over easy served with a cup of hot green. The tea was really grainy and I don't know if the aftertaste was just because the cup had been washed poorly or if the water was not boiled long enough as it wasn't that hot. The avocado toast was smashed high with green goodness and I was excited to take a bite, until I came back with a mouthful of olive oil. Someone did not understand the definition of light drizzle and my avocado toasts were unedible because of it. The eggs over easy were cooked to perfection, just added salt and pepper at the table and luckily I still had something for breakfast. I'm sure it was just an off day because First Watch is usually so on point, but I was not a fan. I'll probably just stick to my local store in JAX from now on instead of eating at any First Watch out of town. read more

We had brunch here on a Saturday and it was so yummy. I will go get breakfast here again.

A little chaotic at the pay counter but the service is good, and the food is inventive and great! We will be back.

First watch is one my go to but today i was very disappointed, my daughter and i went in person the waiters and waitress were so worried about trading taylor swift bracelets with customers then getting orders correct. make sure if you order a sandwich you say sandwich because they might just bring you an omelette with soup. Will stick to uber eats when you staff is full of gen z swifties read more

Delicious! Just ordered breakfast here, and I'm so glad I did. I got the biscuits & gravy. I was a bit skeptical as the gravy is made with turkey sausage, but I couldn't tell the difference. It also comes with eggs & potatoes. The potatoes are yummy and cooked with onions! Super satisfied with the food. I also ordered the Kale Tonic... try it!! read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon for brunch and the resturant was almost full. There were so many things on the menu that looked good but my family and I ordered the sunrise bowl, a Parma skillet hash, French toast, the works onlettw and the million dollar bacon. I ordered an ice coffee but it was too sweet, easily fixed by adding some fresh hot coffee that was free and left at the table. The Parma skillet hash was super good. The potatoes were really well seasoned and had great crunch. The French toast had a nice strawberry jam to go with it. The bacon to me wasn't that great, but the rest of my party enjoyed it. Overall a great meal, super cheap prices compared to nyc where I'm from read more

The food was delicious, the service was horrible. I understand that the industry as a whole is short staffed but there was zero excuse for the lack of attention and service that we received on our visit two weeks ago. There was a table of 6 which we were able to snag a round table in the back of the restaurant. Upon arrival, we were all ready to order within minutes - drinks and food. The waitress took the order and failed to bring enough coffee mugs for all that wanted coffee. She volunteers that she would be bringing mugs back. After seeing her enter and exit the kitchen several times, we never received coffee mugs. The waitress never even came within an earshot of the table to ask her. Ultimately, I ended getting up and going to the kitchen where I asked a male server to grab mugs. He was super helpful and provided me with what we were lacking. When it came time for our checks, the waitress was nowhere to be found and we had to request them from the male server again. I get it that places are short staffed but I also feel that many servers are lacking the motivation to put in the work to earn their money! All that aside, the food was good and fresh. I had the French toast while my husband had the biscuits and gravy. Other members of our party had an omlette, avocado toast and other variations of French toast. read more

Healthy, great food, lots of choices, good service, good atmosphere, spacious. Exactly what we were looking for in downtown Indianapolis. We arrived for breakfast at about 10 and a couple of other places had turned us down. We were so glad this place was open and delicious. I will definitely keep an eye out in other cities because this is reliably good, and they have many locations. read more

This is a great breakfast spot and my go to when I'm in downtown Indy. Today I gave the carnitas burrito a try and it was amazing. Filled with flavorful meat, eggs, avocado, potatoes, etc and then wrapped up. The burrito is covered with tomatillo salsa and crema, and the flavors were perfect together. Paired up with a cup of coffee and you'll be fueled up to start your day. read more

Avoid. I ordered the chia seed bowl for take out and it was clearly packaged the night before or maybe even longer ago than that. The fruit was runny and watery inside the chia pudding and it all tasted old- not fresh. It was expensive, too. So don't waste your money. The staff was super nice but this place isn't worth it. read more

We tried something different today and it was good. We had the salmon frittata with grits/pancake and the Turkey sausage gravy biscuits with eggs and potatoes. I would have given a higher rating if there was more than 2 bites of smoked salmon. The salmon was pretty good. Enjoyed my watermelon wake up. Service was Excellent' read more

Solid place to go for breakfast. We went this morning (Saturday) and had very little wait, surprisingly. The host staff/cashiers were very friendly. Our server was also friendly and attentive, but not over the top. We ordered chicken pesto power bowl, potatoes, million dollar bacon and breakfast tacos. All were great! The bacon killed it!!!! Def recommend that to candied bacon lovers! We will go back again soon! read more

Such a great restaurant with so many healthy and fresh food options. I got the A.M Superfood Bowl that came with a side of multigrain toast with almond butter with sea salt on top (I know, the salt sounds odd but it was so good!). My husband ordered the chocolate chip pancake (which was huge!). It was so light and fluffy and smelled amazing! The service staff was very polite and efficient. I would completely recommend this place to anybody who wants to eat healthier but still have many options and full of flavor read more

Great overall experience as a first time diner! I came here with my sister for brunch on Saturday with great expectations from friends and reviews. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. Their menu is a but overwhelming with how many options they have but there is definitely something for everyone. I decided on the Farmhouse Hash, which came with toast and fruit. It was amazing. My sister ordered 1 pancake, which was huge!, and the million dollar bacon. The bacon was really good, it was sweet at first but then the kick of spices hit the pallet. They have endless amount of options for lunch too that I will have to come back and try sometime. Overall, great food and easy going atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back to one of the many First Watches in Indy! read more

First time for me at this place. We had the blueberry pancakes and Belgian waffle. Their waffle is big but not ridiculous, crispy on the outside. Exactly how I like my waffles. Service was solid. We were seated quickly. It wasn't too busy, even at noon. Definitely going back with the kids. I really like the fresh look, and I must mention that they brought me a carafe of coffee. How do they know me?!! read more

First Watch did not disappoint! This Rise juice freshly juiced this morning was so good and energizing and the food was just as good!! The potatoes had amazing seasoning, eggs light and fluffy and the homemade jam was good too! I wasn't a fan of the multi grain bread, but it wasn't too bad!! Shrimp and grits was also good....so I'm told..I don't eat shrimp but I did tried the grits and didn't hate them! Our server was amazing, I asked for the menu again so I could sew the other freshly made juices and she ended up bringing us a sample of the other two both were also good but the Kale Tonic....YES PLEASE!! 4 thumbs up!! read more

I visited First watch today afternoon with one of my friend, we were looking for a new place to eat which we haven't tried and we walked pass by this place and thought of giving it a try, and my first thought after eating lunch here was that why I didnt try eating here before. This place is awesome. Staff is friendly, nice clean ambience and plenty of space inside only few restaurants in downtown have spacious interior. They also offer outside sitting. Food quality is awesome. Have plenty of choices. Today I have tried the two for one menu and tried soup and salad and enjoyed it. Going to visit again soon. read more

This is a great breakfast spot if you are staying in downtown Indianapolis, right around the corner from the Sheraton Hotel.

Delicious food with healthy brunch options. I ordered the tri-athlete egg white omelette with whole wheat grain and it was delicious. My wife ordered the pesto chicken quinoa bowl and also loved the taste. We loved that it was busy but didn't have a long wait on a Saturday morning. The coffee was average and not worth the $3 in our opinion. Starbucks is right next door and probably would be a better option if you wanted coffee! Also the cafe is tucked next to Trader Joe's in the same plaza, so we could do some grocery shopping afterwards! haha read more

We popped into First Watch on a Saturday morning to grab breakfast before running errands. Surprisingly, we did not have to wait for a table and were seated immediately. I'm always a fan when a server quickly comes to the table to greet and automatically brings an urn of fresh coffee. The menu has many options and several healthy options as well. Our server was extremely helpful when we asked about certain ingredients. I ended up selecting the Tri-Athlete and it was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly! Another huge plus - the side of fruit was more than just melon! I will definitely be adding First Watch to my rotation for breakfast. read more

Good food, but slow when they get busy. They have a huge menu (as well as a seasonal menu) and some great options to choose from. To start off, my friend and I decided to share the Million Dollar Bacon off the seasonal menu. This was a small starter plate, that came out within five minutes of us ordering....& it definitely tasted like a million bucks! I would recommend ordering if you are a bacon lover, like me. As for my entree, I got the Morning Market Veg Omelet. It was different than any omelette I have tried at brunch places; I loved it. All the veggies that were chosen gave it a very earthy tone which paired very well with the goat cheese. As my side, I got the seasonal potatoes as a sub and it was a great decision. I would come back for brunch here again. read more

Great place for a morning brunch. Went here twice and the avocado toast is soooo good. It has chunks of yummy avocados and they are not selfish with it. The million dollar bacon is so amazing I can eat it all day. They had a drink that wasn't available the second time I went but so far both I had were good. I definitely plan on coming here more. This location I picked because it was a central meet up for everyone but I would like to try their other location in/near Fishers also. read more
