Took forever to get our meal. Then the food was cold and not appetizing. Will not be back!

This place was awesome. Service and quality of food above par. We googled the location for best breakfast place at the beach and this popped up! My husband and I are foodies. We loved the selection and what we ordered. Thank you to our server Amanda for your wonderful recommendations. read more

Decent breakfast food, the service is usually pretty good but they can get busy on the weekend so be prepared to wait for a bit. The food is on the healthier side so that is a plus. The price is above average for eggs and such but overall a decent place for breakfast. read more

Million dollar bacon and the coffee are awesome! My scrambled eggs were over cooked but everything else was good. Good breakfast place concept read more

Ate the lunch special yesterday. We got 1/2 salad and 1/2 sandwich. Hubby and I both got the salad which we think is called the Honey Pecan. All we can say is that's the most delicious salad we have ever eaten in our lives. It's nothing like a regular salad. It has sautéed pecans,bacon, carrots you name it, I saw kernels of corn with several cheeses. And it has tons of chicken cooked with the pecans. Absolutely heavenly. Hubby says his roast beef sandwich was good but my Monterrey was too dry for me. Next time we will order just salad. It's mostly a breakfast place and it closes at 2:30. Good wait staff too. read more

Chikichanga is amazing for a satisfying brunch meal. Not too heavy not too light! Definitely choose First Watch over Metro Diner.

Went here on a recommendation from a worker at a nearby store. The best butternut squash bisque I have ever tasted. The salad was fresh and the sandwich was delicious. Great prices friendly staff. Love this place! read more

Love the French toast here. Sometimes the orange juice is fresh squeezed and sometimes it's not(any Floridian can tell). It gets busy on the weekends so I tend to go during the week. Even then the service tends to be a little slower than I'd prefer but I still really like this place and give 4 stars. The wait staff is friendly, the food is good quality and consistent, the place is clean and pleasant. Their coffee is good and strong which is a plus. read more

I go there religiously about once a week. Friendly atmosphere. Really good food. I like that they have Wi-Fi so I can do work while I'm eating. I'm not sure if they're open later though. If they're not, they should be or I'd probably go there at night too. read more

My wife and I love coming to First Watch for both Breakfast and Lunch. We love the food. The only thing we find we do not like is the lack of Gluten free breads. They have plenty of healthy items and maybe the should add Gluten free bread. read more

Ive been going to this First Watch ever since it opened. But over the years there's always new staff, barely anyone works there long. Their food is good and staff is nice, so I have no issue with that. My problem is it takes 10 years to get any food. The kitchen takes forever to get any food out. I've wait an hour to get a pancake before. Every single time without a doubt it takes forever to get food regardless if it's busy or not. Rather go to Maple Street or Metro Diner because they have just as good of food if not better and the food comes out at a reasonable time. I also feel bad for the waiters because they do a good job but get yelled at because food takes so long to get out. read more

If you don't mind waiting 45 minutes for cold eggs, cold toast and greasy bacon come here. The management stands around with their hands in pocket and have no clue. I won't ever return. read more

Saturday morning at 9:45, had no issue sitting at the community table although there was a wait for a regular table. Delicious avocado on toast with basted eggs. Great service. read more

Always good breakfast and great service! Try the lean machine for a filling low cal breakfast. They have great granola, too. Large portions and good prices. read more

A healthier breakfast/brunch place. There's always a wait on weekends, but they offer free coffee to keep you happy while you wait. I've been to a few different locations in Florida and Pennsylvania, and the one here at home is the best. read more

Cornbread Carnitas was one of the specials offered. It was, beyond a doubt, the best entree I have ever had at any First Watch restaurants! The carnitas spices were just right, the poached eggs were perfectly cooked, and the black beans plus cornbread put the meal over the top. I could have licked the plate... Please put this dish in the regular menu! read more

The food was good, I had the oatmeal and turkey sausage, but coffee so/so. The only bad thing was the waiter. He was slow, sloppy, maybe hungover? I don't like being forgotten when there are only three tables in the place with customers. read more

Didn't expect anything because let's be honest the outside seems like an office building, but it blew away my entire family! Will definitely go here again read more

Happy to find yummy and healthy food in a sea of jacksonville applebees and ruby tuesdays. We had the tomato basil soup, veg soup, pecan chicken salad, chicken sandwich, and butternut squash quinoa bowl. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. The staff were attentive and friendly. The only thing that I didn't like was that we got there close to closing time and so they wouldn't make another batch of decaf coffee when I requested it. Also, the soups were not very warm when they arrive so we had to send them back to be reheated. read more

We always stop by here when we are in Florida!!! My husband adores the cherry chicken quinoa bowl, the chicken is tender and the feta cheese adds a salty flavor. I love the turkey and egg white omelet. Every time and every location, the staff is friendly, the establishment is clean and it is a great place to take the children. (Mine never complain about pancakes the size of their head). read more

We waited for over 45 minutes for our food....but it was worth it. I got the Chickechanga, and was only able to eat half. My son had the fresh fruit crepes, and cleared his entire plate. The tumeric lemonade was interesting... cant wait to go back read more

Good news, food is creative and good. Bad news and reason for two stars? Service is always haphazard, slow and kitchen seems disorganized. In the morning, you compete with the telephone orders. No one is dedicated to taking phone orders, so if your server happens to walk by the phone, they have to answer it or so it seems. I have been here more than five times, they are consistent at least. Plan on an hour fifteen minutes for oatmeal or eggs. read more

was hoping for a great breakfast. many things about the place were very good. they appeared to have great menu selections with healthy option, nice decor, clean restaurant, great service. nice touches - a whole pitcher of coffee and/or water at your table. unfortunately, what we came for, a great breakfast, we did not get. my husband ordered an omelet served with potatoes and english muffin. they got the english muffin right. the omelet seemed like it was steamed rather than cooked, and the potatoes were so boooooring. i ordered a scramble egg dish with bacon and avocado, potatoes and english muffin. portion was small, but that's okay cause i wouldn't have wanted any more. it was so tasteless! there were quite a few customers there. maybe these are first timers, as the restaurant is new in our area. i noticed the lady at a nearby table only ate a forkfull of her scrambled medley. i've heard the pancakes are good. if i give them another try, that's what i'll get. read more

Consistently good, kids loved the pancakes and sausage, one with chocolate chip the other without. Wife had the trifecta with great tasting carrot cake pancakes and I had the Farmhouse. Good service, good food. read more

Used to be a favorite. Now the service is slow (45 minutes from the time we sat down to get two power wraps). One power wrap was burned. Not enough staff or issues in the kitchen, not sure but I will not return. This was my exact experience previously and I had decided to give it one more try. I don't normally write reviews. This one I decided to provide. Beach Diner, Metro Diner or Trasca will get my business in the future. read more

I've been to First Watch in Colorado and I absolutely love the food that they serve. I expected because this is a chain that the food should be the same. I was kinda disappointed to realize the food actually is completely different, almost like it's more flavorful and fresh in CO. The food was not bad here but it definitely was not even close in comparison to the other location I've been to. It was honestly just kind of bland and the service was really slow despite the fact we went when it wasn't busy at all. Many open tables. It was just weird to see how the restaurant in Colorado was busier but somehow much faster and better quality/flavor. read more

Food was good and did not take very long. Our server was rude, along with several other staff there. Not a great environment.

Always awesome. Get a healthy start or a hangover remedy.

Went there after church yesterday for lunch. I had a 1/2 grilled veggie sandwich and 1/2 order of the pecan Dijon chicken salad. The sandwich was one of the best veggie sandwiches I've ever had! It had cremini mushrooms, pesto, spinach, mozzarella, and onions. The salad had a warm Dijon dressing served with a bed of greens topped with pecans, bacon, tomatoes and cheddar cheese. My daughter enjoyed the Italian wedding soup with a roast beef sandwich- she said both were delish! My son wasn't in the mood for the kids menu items- so they made him a kids portion BLT by special request. Ample portion sizes and friendly service will bring us back! read more

My first time here, and I'm pleasantly surprised. Had heard some not so great things from friends - but it was for a quick lunch. The restaurant was clean and smelled good. The seasonal roasted butternut squash quinoa bowl was awesome and gluten intolerant friendly. The only down side was the water didn't taste filtered and the POS system went down when we tried to pay. Otherwise a great casual experience! read more

Awful experience - over an hour to be told the kitchen "had issues" only to be given lukewarm food. Cold bacon - waffle butter wouldn't melt - over easy eggs cold with hard yolk. No one asked how the food was...and I can see why. read more

Despite my food being a little cold , great service and great food. Definitely will be back soon!!

Two days in town - both days had their salmon breakfast, like lox and bagel - so good!

Call me crazy but this restaurant has captured me like no other. Today is the third time I've eaten here this week. It's perfectly clean, quiet, friendly and the food is tops. Everyone has plenty of space and there's lotsa sunshine flowing in but yet it's not warm inside. This place ROCKS! read more

Decent spot for brunch. I wish they had more vegetarian options. A little soy sausage would go a long way here. They do have good add ons like fresh avocado & smoky crimini mushrooms. I had a hash & potatoes weren't cooked thoroughly, so I recommend staying away from that. read more

Went last Saturday morning. The restaurant was not busy. My food was obviously burnt - they turned that side down. Left with not one word acknowledging this (full plate of burned food). Won't go back. read more

My first time going to First Watch was amazing! I had the delicious açaí bowl with almond butter toast. The service was great and made me feel welcome. Will be visiting here again! read more

Delicious healthy options for a variety of taste buds! Service was also really quick. They have a variety of specials, which pair great with one of their juices. Super refreshing! read more

The coffee is yummy. Service was awesome from servers, hostesses, and management. It's in a great location (right by my house and target). The chickichanga (sp?) was very very good! I'll be back! read more

Cool place, lots of variety on the menu. Very good food and it came fast even for my group of 8 people. Try the Parma Hash. read more
