    Egg white sandwich
    Alexa A.

    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.

    Egg white omelette with fresh fruit and toast-strawberry jam was terrific!

    Location Just off Third street North Jax Beach Parking Large open lot Atmosphere Clean, friendly, upscale breakfast/lunch spot Service Outstanding Menu Seasonal offerings. I want to try the bacon jalapeño corn bread. So many choices of coffees, specials, entrees. Summary Clean, friendly/immediate service, awesome menu!! This is our Jax Beach go to breakfast spot.

    This place is just... ok. If you're looking for cheap-ish, semi-healthy looking brunch with good ambiance, I would definitely recommend coming here. The service is good and you can pay on your phone so you don't have to wait for the waitress to come by to get your card.

    First time here, and we had a great experience. Both dishes were delicious and looked so pretty. Service was also on point, will be back to try more dishes.

    Fast casual dining with affordable prices. Everything was great about our experience. Billy was attentive, food came out quickly and was really good. The place is very clean as well. If I lived in Florida I can definitely see this place as a staple.

    Avocado Toast with eggs over medium.

    Always great service and food at First Watch and Jacksonville's was no exception! I had the avocado toast with eggs over medium which is very satisfying.

    Ham and Gruyere Omelet Delicious! Everything here is great.

    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!

    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

    Choirizo omelet and pumpkin pancakes!
    Stephen S.

    Food was okay, not sure if it was worth the price vs a regular diner. Staff was very pleasant / friendly, and the restaurant was extremely clean.

    The Carnitas Burrito 'bowl' style without picked onion. Delicious!

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

    Jaxbeach Brunch Haus is the best Brunch Haus in Jacksonville, bar none. If you don't believe me go…read morethere on a Saturday or Sunday, the wait times are about 45 minutes to an hour. That tells you something. The menus wide and deep. You can do a simple fruit salad, or you can do a massive steak and eggs course. And you can build your brunch too! The food is incredible, beverages are plenty, the vibe is lively, and the service is top-notch. And if you tell Dan, it's your birthday, he might just sing you happy birthday in Italian! I go there at least twice a week.

    Came here for weekend brunch. Tried to make a reservation but they don't take any so we just had to…read moreshow up and wait. Parking was a bit hard with so many people especially around beach area. The wait was around 20-30 mins and we were seated on the patio, the place was packed and super busy, so it's a bit loud to try to have conversation. The staff were great and the menu had a great vegan section too. It was a bit cold on the patio, so we started with some hot lattes which was decent. Also got pancakes & bacons, vegan mexicali wrap and size of haus fried (potatoes cubes). Portion size was huge, we could only finish half the food. Everything was delicious & if you get the vegan mexicali wrap, 100% would recommend trying with the hot sauce with it. Food and staff were great, but I am not sure if it was worth 20-30 mins wait and the hassle of parking. Would definitely go back but will not be a regular place for us!

We were seated inside right away & our server was super sweet and helpful to help us decide what to order. We ordered coffee and orange juice which came out right away. Orange juice was really good although pretty pricy ($6 or small and $9 for large). Also ordered vegan spud stacker which was delicious! They had a pretty big menu that accommodated different dietary restrictions. The portion side was big (I took the rest home so it was really 2 meals) and everything tasted great.

First things first: get the fresh squeezed orange juice. It is absolutely incredible and worth the visit alone. The menu is fantastic and they have everything you could want for breakfast. If you're in the mood for comfort food, the biscuits and gravy are phenomenal, some of the best I've had. But they also nail all the classics , French toast, bacon, eggs, you name it. I do have to be honest as a coffee lover, the coffee was a letdown for me. Neither the hot brewed nor the cold brew impressed, so if you're picky about your coffee you may want to manage expectations there. Stick to that fresh OJ though and you won't be sad about it! One major bonus, the restaurant is really big with a lot of seating,and we went on weekdays without ever waiting for a table. In a breakfast spot, that's a big deal. Overall a really solid, reliable breakfast spot. We'll be back next time we're in Jacksonville.
