    Solid location. Quick service and plenty of seating. Very busy on the weekends. I ordered the power breakfast quinoa bowl and it was pretty decent.

    Avocado Toast
    Lynna I.

    I went here for brunch with friends two months ago. We happened to have gone right as the Gate River Run was done so it was really busy. But that was okay because it gave us more time to talk. I ordered the avocado toast with bacon and eggs over medium. There was a lot of avocado for one piece of toast, so I had to remove half of it to make it more edible. But it was fine. It took a long time to check out because the girl before me wanted to buy a gift card when she was checking out. It took them a good 10 minutes or so to figure out how to put money on the gift card, and that caused a long line of people behind me waiting to pay their check. I would have preferred to just pay at the table.

    The Works omelette (front) & Bacado omelette.

    Good service, location in a nice area of Jacksonville near downtown, food was great, good coffee.

    Farmhouse Skillet Hash
    Logan A.

    The service at this location was top notch! The food has always been stellar. I can't seem find myself breaking away the Avacado Skillet hash and an iced coffee. Highly recommend this First Watch!

    Elevated Egg Sandwich
    Laura A.

    Happily used my birthday bogo coupon to treat myself on a Friday work from home day. Love the easy online ordering and later scheduled delivery. Loved my breakfast sandwich, without any sauce, it was delicious. My lunch choice for later was the chopped chicken avocado salad and that was good too.

    The food was very good a great place to eat for your fitness goals, fresh and healthy dishes. Service was wonderful all staff members were nice and happy spirited. The restaurant is located in a nice area so sitting outside just felt very relaxing sun out with a nice breezy eating good food with my husband so sensational.

    "The Works" omlette, breakfast greens and turkey sausage.

    Paid another visit to First Watch recently on a Sunday morning. It was packed. Rightfully so. In the past, I have always been pleased with First Watch, considered its solid staple for breakfast. Consistently gave them 4 stars. I think my main issue was that while everything was great, I thought fresh greens on a breakfast plate was sacrilege. Well, I figured out this time I didn't have to do that, ordered all of the breakfast staples and they just nailed everything. The iced coffee was fantastic as well. Some of the best I've had. Our waitress was stellar, we had a party of six, she had multiple tables and our coffees were always full, our waters were always filled and she was on top of everything. First Watch is always clean, great simple decor. our table was in a corner and we didn't even notice the hustle and bustle going on around us. This Riverside First Watch is top notch. Great for a casual breakfast or brunch. Truly elevated from your typical breakfast experience.

    Wonderful service ! Delicious quinoa bowl and love the toast. It is a great clean establishment.

    Hot chocolate
    Rose E.

    The food was pretty filling and personally to my liking I have no complaints for the food. The hot chocolate was very good not too watered down not too chocolatey. The service was a little slow to notice us but once noticed handled very professional and quickly and friendly. The ambiance was nice inside and outside i recommend eating outside as the vibe was very nice.

    Iced Honey Crunch Caramel Coffee
    Misty S.

    The seasonal food items were delicious! Bree our server was attentive, gave awesome recommendations, and kept our drinks full!

    Cornbread
    Delia W.

    5 stars for the cornbread. Everything was good... but that cornbread--was--EVERYTHING! It's been almost a week later and I'm still thinking about it. The server was nice... he gave us the cornbread with a smile that betrayed just how delicious that cornbread was. I had some of my hash browns. I thought it was good. Then I had some of the cornbread and wanted nothing else. I'm a big back so of course I finished it.... But I would have been happy with just the cornbread. Lead with the cornbread. I might be exaggerating but: the cornbread.

    Avocado toast w/ smoked salmon, eggs fried Morning meditation for the drink

    Everything was good!!! It was a beautiful day to sit outside The food was very fresh and tasty. This is my fav First Watch in Brooklyn. I have yet to meet a bad host or waitress. This will always be my to go spot

    Traditional. Substitute greens for meat.
    Christina S.

    I have been to a few different locations of First Watch around Jacksonville and this one is up to par. I ordered for pick up and my food was ready in less than 15 minutes! I went around 10am on a Sunday, so it was as busy as you'd expect, but there's ample parking and the restaurant is large so it's not a big deal. I ordered the Traditional but substituted the mixed greens instead of meat. I definitely wouldn't get the mixed greens again since they tasted unwashed and didn't have any dressing. However, all other elements of the meal were great! One thing I was disappointed by was that when you're in the restaurant you receive a small side of preserves, but when you pick up they just give you basic Smuckers jelly instead. This was disappointing since the preserves in the restaurant are way better. Overall, I'd definitely go again for a quick breakfast, but I'd definitely skip the greens.

Only thing we liked was the balsamic dressing, the side salad and the orange as a side, hehe. The espresso tasted burnt. The coconut latte did not taste like coconut at all.

We ordered a board as an appetizer and waited close to 35 minutes for it before our server realized she never rang it up. We were upset as we wanted something to snack on as we waited for our meal. She offered to quickly have it made, but our food was almost ready and it did not make sense to us anymore at that point. But no other resolution was offered. The food was great, but it took a while to get our food. It didnt seem to be busy, yet they where slow. Im sure if we had our appetizer, we wouldnt have noticed the 45 minute wait.

Hubby had the smash burger and fries and all was good. I had a special cocktail called Blue Eyes something that was very refreshing. Elise gave us very good service and as always, I got a piece of Tropical Cake to go, that will last for days. Other than parking being tough, this is a great place for girls days, lunch with the hubby, etc.
