First Watch - Tomato soup! Delicious !! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

My husband had a medical appointment nearby so I suggested we grab something to eat here before his appointment. I had eaten at this chain at other locations and always had a good experience. However, today's experience was not so great. Upon arrival, we had to wait about five minutes before anyone came by to seat us. Once seated, our waitress came over to take our drink orders. After looking over the menu, my husband ordered the Cobb salad and I got the works omelette. These two items are two of my standards and have always been good. However, my husband received no dressing with his salad. By the time our server returned with the check, I mentioned this to her. She said that dressing usually comes on the salad. I have had that salad a dozen times at other locations and it has never come on the salad. Needless to say, it was a disappointing experience today. read more

Always a great experience here. It's a wonderful atmosphere. We love that they leave the coffee pitcher and water pitcher at the table for us to do refills ourselves. The food is always fantastic, it's fresh and high quality. I had the watermelon juice which is seasonal and it was amazing, fresh pressed in house. I also had the carrot cake pancake which was fantastic. The portions are large and everything is so fresh and delicious. read more

Food is simply put 5 stars! Good fresh, healthy food. Got the triathlete which is an egg white omelette with tomatoes, onions and mushrooms with salsa, toast and fruit. So delicious but next time I will add cheese to it. Grits are delicious too, they are the yellow grits. My only complaint that made the meal stressful is that I had to pay at the front and it was a zoo, and for me it was very overwhelming and uncomfortable. The servers should be able to run the check. So for that reason only I would honestly choose another restaurant but their food is 5 stars! read more

Our first visit and everything was great. It's Friday morning arrived around 10:30. Place seems very popular although there are plenty of open tables. Our waitress Jessica took excellent care of us. Brought out a second pot of coffee. Nice and hot like it should be. I had two blueberry pancakes- nice and hot with more than enough blueberries. Good taste. Wife had the Healthy turkey egg white breakfast. Look good. So it's a 5 today read more

Always love going to First Watch for Breakfast or Brunch. I also enjoy trying their seasonal menus.

Delicious food. Had a long wait and extremely busy. My daughter recommended this location. I really enjoyed the pancakes

Great food, great service. Came here at 8am on a Sunday and they had PLENTY of seating available. Only downfall of this location is that there's no alcohol. They had this Hacienda Hash during the month of August and it was delicious. Wishing they would keep that on the menu. Those flavors were fire. I got an omelette. It was omlettey. Haha. The bread that was with it was great and I love their little side salads you can opt for with the entrees. All First Watches are great. Just wishing I could have had a mimosa here! read more

First Watch - Choirizo omelet and pumpkin pancakes! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

We made an impromptu stop at First Watch. After checking the app and putting our name in we had about a 15 minute wait, which for a weekend wasn't bad. After waiting we received a text message that said our table was ready. When we went to the host stand we were being taken to an inside table, so we requested outside and the hostess said it would be another 15 minutes. No harm, since we would have waited. After about 15 minutes we were brought to our table. Unfortunately they were all out of kids menus and crayons. Luckily I had 8001 items in my purse to keep my little one busy and a phone doesn't hurt either lol. I checked out the menu, then looked over the specials insert. After looking over the specials I opted for the short rib omelette with Parmesan cream sauce. Our server came to our table, was masked. His name was Airius and was just lovely. He was attentive, interacted with the kids, and kept checking to see if we needed anything. I also ordered a cold brew and ordered a kids chocolate chip pancake and sausage for my kiddo. My mom and sister ordered the same thing I did. I have to say less than 10 minutes later our meal came out. This is the first time in a while I've been to First Watch that we've had this quick of a turnaround. My cold brew was robust and icy cold. My omelette was perfectly cooked, the short ribs were tender and the cream sauce was flavorful. My kiddo ate his entire meal, and even a piece of niece's bacon. Pros: -new menu items -cheerful and attentive server -short turnaround time on food orders -now serving mimosas, and some vodka cocktails Con: -prices seemed to have increased Tips: try the new special, it was delish read more

The order we placed was brought out completely wrong from drinks to how we asked the food to be prepared. Orders something to go and the server forgot to ring it in and it took forever - and it was not busy. Came back the next day because everyone has an off day. Was seated and never acknowledged and finally had to leave without anything. I love First Watch restaurants but this one has some real service issues. read more

I love this spot for brunch! We got there around 12:30 and got seated immediately. They weren't very busy, which was nice. It took a few minutes for a server to come over, but she got drinks out quickly and also put our order in quickly! My friend and I both got the farm hash. Absolutely delicious. Eggs over easy, perfectly cooked breakfast potatoes, blistered tomatoes, cheddar Jack, avocado, and yummy bacon! It also came with wheat toast and a side of fruit!!! If you join their e-mail club, you get buy one get one entrees!!! I used mine today; such a great deal! Our server never really checked on us after food was dropped off, but we didn't really need anything. Overall, a great experience! read more

Great way to start our day. The Carnitas Burrito listed on their in restaurant chalk board caught both of our eyes as we were seated. My husband had it as listed in the burrito form. They were awesome in making modifications for me. I had it as a bowl rather than in a tortilla and without the picked onions. Both of us LOVED our choices. It was the right balance of carnitas meat, scrambled egg, potato, avocado, and black beans. The tomatillo sauce and lime crema were like the icing on the cake. Just the right flavor and not overwhelming. You could still taste the other ingredients. Glad we made the stop here for breakfast and will definitely be back for breakfast during our next trip. The restaurant did a nice job of making us feel comfortable coming in and respecting social distancing and using masks. read more

This place has really gone downhill. They over salt their potatoes and quite honestly the food taste lousy now especially for what we are paying. Overcooked over salted potatoes. The staff is rude when you come in with no sense of urgency... Not attentive at all. We will not be ordering from First Watch anymore.. at least this location. We live in Marsh Landing and were coming here ten years... Pull up already read more

Finally visiting First Watch in Jax Beach for the first time since they've reopened. The Hacienda Hash was the only special available but it was excellent! The perfect savory slightly spicy dish with plenty of avocado to cool it down. Also ordered a long time favorite (not on the regular menu) the cheddar bacon pancakes. Great breakfast! read more

We came here on Easter Sunday around 8:00 for breakfast. There was no wait and we were seated immediately. The service was excellent and everything came out quickly. We started with the million dollar bacon, which is a must! I got the shrimp and grits- it was a little bland, but still pretty tasty! My husband got one of the breakfast plates with bacon, eggs and a waffle. The bacon was cold- like it had just come out of a refrigerator and wasn't warmed up. He said everything else was great. Service was great, food could've been better! read more

The vegetable omelet was the best I have ever had! I am an omelet snob! The toast and coffee were good! I like that they pour a partial cup and leave the pot. That way your coffee stays at the right temperature. They bring a carafe of water. For me it was outstanding! read more

I stopped by here for breakfast last weekend. I was perusing Yelp for options, and came across a photo of eggs and avocado toast from this place. I just had to try it! The place was pretty busy when I came here. I was still seated immediately, and the friendly waitress brought me water and coffee. I knew what I wanted, and proceeded to order. After a short wait, I had my food in front of me. The food was well made. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the avocado toast was a perfect complement. The coffee was served in abundance, and helped to maintain me wired. After being done, the waitress was quick to check me out. It was a good experience, this place. I would recommend it for brunch. read more

Love First Watch franchises - been to numerous locations. Cons: can't think of any! Pros: I was able to hop on Yelp ahead of time and check into the waitlist. By the time we got there - we had already been "in line" for 10 mins and only waited 5 mins when we got there. Plenty of parking! Server was super attentive. Brought us a water jug so we had plenty of refills. I love the new menus and new options. Especially the seasonal menu. The carnitas bowl was delicious!!! read more

First Watch - Open, airy room--nice on Fall Sunday . - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

I typically love first watch, but this location has some issues. Once we ordered our food the server told us that the kitchen was behind because they are were putting Uber eats/door dash orders before the people who are dinning in. Not the best way to run a business in my opinion. After we order our food, we never saw the server again until our food got here 40 mins later. Then once we asked for a water refill and a couple of items that were missing from meal in the first place, the server acted so inconvenienced and was rude about having to get anything else for us. The food wasn't bad but wasn't warm either. New management seems to be needed, never had issues at any other location. read more

Horrible, unacceptable lack of service. Waited 45 minutes in the lobby when wait time was only 20 minutes. Hostess is inefficient and clueless, has people in the lobby and skips and chooses whom to sit regardless of order. Called and spoke to the manager- Chris- inefficient as well; no solutions, no options to resolve what was at hand. The fact that it's ok to pick who you want to seat next and manager didn't seem phased by it tells a lot. Lack of staff but lack of basic common sense is the main issue in this place. read more

I've been to First Watch many times and while I truly love their menu and the vast food offering, today I was disappointed. Onto to good things, got in at 930 am and no wait, which was wonderful. Our waiter, can't remember his name, was great. Very attentive and pleasant. The food was as usual very good, which is why I keep coming back. My friend had the oatmeal which was so tasty and had an incredible presentation. I ordered the eggs Benedict, which were very tasty. Now onto the low points of my visit. I ordered coffee and when I took the flatware out of the napkin I noticed my spoon was dirty. There was some dry food on it. I asked for a second set of flatware which I thought would be clean. I proceed to stir my coffee and to my surprise and disappointment this spoon was also dirty, and now had a film of left over greens on top of my coffee and in the spoon. I asked the waiter to give me a new set of silverware and a new coffee and as I mentioned before he was very pleasant and he was apologetic for the issues. As for the eggs in my Benedict they were very small and looked like half the egg was missing, no biggie as they were tasty. Hopefully the staff is more careful with the cleanliness of utensils, if they were to improve on that, I would gladly update my review and provide a higher rating. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. Two orders of biscuits and gravy. One had about 1/3 as much gravy as it should have. The other one had a lot of gravy but very runny. My eggs were over cooked and the grits were runny. I cannot believe the server actually has the audacity to bring out this shit!!! About 5 min after I got my food, got so upset I poured my drink in my food and put my baking on the food. 90% was still there. There server was like, "you made short work or that". Are you that fucking stupid?!! Get the message (that I was infuriated!!!). My dates eggs were what I would refer to as a "snack" more than anything. Her eggs were dry. She ordered scrambled eggs. They were NOT (what I would call) scrambled. This place has really gone downhill. What a joke! I would feed this shit to a dog!! I will be never be back read more
