Everything was tasty! Very filling and fresh Ingredients. Even the fruit seem to be freshly picked and cut. I had the farmhouse skillet and the roasted tomatoes were a nice touch with the avacado. I substituted sausage links in lieu of bacon. Honestly if there wasn't any meat I wouldn't have missed it because the eggs, potatoes, and other ingredients shined, and that's coming from a meat lover. My fiance' had the chorizo omelette. And a side of french toast. The french toast was gone before I could get a picture so you know it had to be good. His plate ended completely clean. If you want a good, healthy, filling breakfast...try First Watch, you wont be disappointed read more

This area has been longing for a sit-down breakfast spot. Not the quick, convenient fast-food breakfasts that we're used to...but the kind of hearty breakfast that warms your stomach. First Watch definitely delivers. The service was fast and friendly. The food was amazingly fresh. The steel-cut grits were thick and hearty, and the French toast melted in our mouths. Watch out for First Watch...they won't disappoint! read more

We went today, a Sunday, for lunch after church. We expected it to be busy and true enough, the lady said it would be a 45 mins to an hour wait. She got my phone number so she can text me as soon as our table was ready. We left to do 3 errands and it was perfect timing as after our last errand, we got a text message that said our table was ready and they will hold it for 2 minutes. We were 4 mins away so I called and told them to hold our table which they gladly did. As it was still our birthday month, we availed of our free entree with purchase (BOGO). We got The Works Omelette and the Tri-fecta. We didn't have to wait too long for our food to come out. Everything was awesome, even the bacon and waffles were to perfection!!! Others complain of the long wait but I for one feel their good food is worth it. Eric, our server was nice and very attentive to our needs as well as the ladies at the register. We will be back for sure! read more

Super disappointed this place has gone downhill. Both our water glasses were very dirty. Ordered avocado toast and the avocados are not ripe. Made us another and same issue. Waiter tried to justify that sometimes they just aren't ripe. If you can't keep ripe avocados in your kitchen then you shouldn't have an avocado dish on your menu. So we paid for something we didn't really eat. To boot the remake avocado toast came out with ants on the plate. Funny enough, the waiter didn't even notice. Tiny ants which means there's a larger problem in that kitchen. Wont be back and it's a shame because this place used to be great read more

The coffee was fresh and just as delicious. Got a blueberry muffin that was fresh, moist and so yummy to start. I got the Ham & Gruyere Melt he got the farmhouse hash. Omg fresh hot and scrumptious. Our server Steven was attentive and knew the menu very well. He made many suggestions and certainly made this first experience great! Because of him we will be back to try more items.

My first time visiting this business. My daughter recommended that I give it a try while visiting. When I walked in, I was pleasantly greeted by one of the hostesses and promptly seated at a nice and very clean table. The place wasn't horrible busy when I first arrived, but was 90% packed with 20 minutes. Good timing I guess. Well, I wasn't really hungry so thought I'd order a side of sausage gravy and biscuits. While ordering, the waitress asked how I wanted my eggs cooked...... I didn't state that I just wanted the side dish and ordered over easy. Well, was glad I ordered the whole breakfast. It was excellent. The eggs were perfect. The biscuits were near perfect fluffy inside with a crispy outer crust..... just the way I like them, my only gripe was that I am 99% sure the sausage in the gravy( gravy was tasty) was turkey sausage, which I dispise. This is just a personal quirk of mine. I ate it, I'm not going to knock the restaurant for a quirk of mine. Price was good, but a little more than some other local diners such as Grumpys, or Metro.... Definitely a great spot to eat, and their menus is a little different, and definitely worth the visit. I will go there again when I come to Jax again. read more

Came to first watch this afternoon for brunch. We were promptly sat outside with menus. 30 minutes went by, and not one server stopped by our table to even drop off water. There was another table sat outside, and their waiter came out to serve them twice, saw us sitting out there, and did not stop by once. At this point we decided to leave. Very disappointed as this is one of my favorite brunch restaurants, however poor service will take a 5 star review to a 1 star review. read more

Let me start by saying it was not that busy only about half full We ordered salmon fratata with roasted vegetables. There was only onions and one piece of an unknown vegetable. The hash browns were barely cooked and had to be sent back, they literally looked like potato chunks that were boiled and never saw the grill. The replacement hash browns were burnt on one side and the other side was uncooked. I had farmer hash with eggs over easy. The eggs were completely cooked with no runny yolk at all. I don't know if there was a manager around but I suggest there should be someone around when food is ready to deliver to the table. It should be looked at by someone and the server should look at food and know something isn't right. It was obvious our food was not cooked right and should not have been brought to us. We have eaten here numerous times and have only experienced wrong items with an order we've gotten to go. read more

They also have a rewards system where you can get 5 dollars off for your birthday which is pretty sweet. Ok thanks for reading this, highly recommend!!

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars because the staff was that good. From the second I…read morewalked in, everyone was genuinely friendly and made me feel right at home. The coffee was really good too, and I loved how creative the menu was. They definitely have some fun drinks you don't see everywhere. The food, though... it was just okay. Not bad by any means, but it didn't really match how much I enjoyed everything else. I had a muffin that looked amazing but tasted a little underwhelming. The inside is a vibe. Plenty of seating whether you're meeting up with friends, knocking out some work, or just enjoying a coffee by yourself. I'd absolutely come back for the coffee and the atmosphere. If the food stepped up a notch, this would easily be a 5-star.

One of our favorite breakfast/lunch spots in Jax/Oakleaf. We stopped in today after an appt. Usually, there's quite a wait (simply because their food is outstanding) but today, the wait time was less than 10mins. The restaurant is quaint, decorated in farmhouse chic and impeccably clean. We had a phenomenal server who was very attentive to us, and we never had to ask for another carafe of coffee - always keeping it filled with fresh, hot coffee. The specials today were holiday themed: gingerbread donut holes, cinnamon chip pancakes, etc, but my dining compa ions selected the salmon eggs benedict (which were delicious!) And I selected their chicken and avocado salad with a a cup of their soup du jour: broccoli cheddar. First Watch soups are always an excellent choice as they're made fresh! My salad was delicious--perfect size. I did switch the vinaigrette dressing for a side of ranch. The salad was colorful, with chicken, tortilla strips, cheese, fresh lettuce and avocado and slice of buttered sourdough toast. If you've never visited , I Highly recommend visiting one of the First Watch locations in our area. You won't regret it! read more

Our waitress was prompt with menus and offering her personal recommendations for starter drinks. We placed or orders and chatted while we waited. Within 5 minutes our drinks were brought to us and our food another 10 minutes. Presentation was excellent and the food itself was great as well. No complaints. I did ask for no sour cream and as you can see in the picture I still received it on my omelette which I had to remove with a spoon but we're human right? I'd come back and eat here again in a heartbeat.

Although the wait for sitting down at a table was short, it was then maybe 30+ min for just some eggs, bacon, pancakes and a Belgian waffle after already having our drinks delivered. I picked up on the fact that they were understaffed and understood the delay, it happens. Food was otherwise hot and good, would be back, folks/staff here are nice too, they work hard I can tell. Would be 5 stars if the owners or someone rolled up some sleeves? I'm looking for a part time weekend job #shruggingshoulders

We waited a pretty long time for the food; It was longer than you would normally expect to wait...especially for the number of patrons. I'm glad we waited for the food because it was very good. My wife and daughter got the club sandwich with fried okra and Cole slaw. I got the country chef salad with grilled chicken. Our server was very good, and attentive. She was very nice and professional with our service. Other than the wait, everything was very good and the price was very reasonable. We will come back again...
