Absolutely LOVE first watch! The vibe of the whole restaurant, the employees and especially the food are so great! 100/10 recommend! Great if your trying to stick the healthier food! read more

Always a good time at any first watch location, however this time, at this location I can only give it an ok. The meal I always get was very heavy of an ingredient that there typically is not a lot of. And there's usually lots of avacodo, this time, almost none. Eggs undercooked as well. Guess I'll go somewhere else for breakfast. read more

This place is amazing. The food was excellent. Wait staff was friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The menu is extensive and the 2 dishes we got were very tasty. I got the sandwich with the smashed guacamole. My husband got the chicki tortilla. Both were fantastic. I don't think there would be a bad meal from First Watch. I have it marked in my gps. If you find yourself near this place, you won't be disappointed. read more

Went for Mother's Day - excellent service, excellent food. Best breakfast spot in the entire Villages area.

Places go-to order, ordering egg white omelets only to get my protein fix before weight training. Order was ready upon stated time, the quality of the food is consistent to the million other locations I've eaten at. You can never go wrong with first watch, their ingredients taste very fresh, clean eating..perfect! read more

Very good breakfast sandwich and potatoes. Ham and gruyere omelet is also tasty. Super friendly service and coffee left at the table which is awesome. read more

Heard this was really good so went with a group for lunch. Didn't like any of the salad dressing or the sandwich I had. Not sure what the hype is. Wouldn't go back. read more

Excellent food that could be better if of only they were not so heavy handed with seasonings. Service is usually excellent but highly dependent on your server. Last time we were there, our server disappeared for at least 15 minutes. We finally had to ask someone else for our check and boxes for our leftovers. I do recommend this place because of the unique offerings. My husband is addicted to the Floridian French Toast and I like the Frittata Rustica which I order without the tomatoes. These are sun dried tomatoes and in my opinion, overwhelm the other wonderful flavors in the dish. read more

Our favorite restaurant in town. Great service, food and prices. My grandson is crazy about First Watch.

My first visit to any "First Watch" Restaurant. Had read some bad reviews but wanted to find out for self and to be part of this luncheon. Even though we had to travel thru the horrid traffic of "The Villages", first appearance was pleasant with plenty of parking. First inside door was welcoming, clean and smelled delicious. Seated at a perfect table for our group. Jessica was most attentive and professional. Food was absolutely delicious. All of the other members in our group were well satisfied with all of our selections. Only one of the party of 6 had eaten there before. Some said prices were high. I think we got the value and quality we paid for. Will definitely go back again. They even stock San Pellegrino = yeah! read more

The decor is nice, the service was customer friendly. As first time breakfast customers the breakfast was a standard breakfast, two eggs no meat,potatoes,and toast. In my opinion $9 for the breakfast I described is pricey, coffee was extra. My opinion, I can get a breakfast of equal selection from other restaurants in the area for less money that would include coffee. I wish First Watch the best wishes on the new restaurant that will open on 466A in Wildwood, without m read more

OMG! This place has an awesome menu that appeals to both gourmands and those who want to stick to the basics. Try the wild mushroom frittata with herbed goat cheese and a salad, or the to die for Braised Short Ribs Benedict. My son likes the old school Benny too. I've eaten at several FW locations from The Villages to Destin, Oldsmar aNd South Tampa. Consistently good! read more

Super clean which isn't shocking since it was before too. The staff were as nice as ever and the food was great. I once heard that the owners had a restaurant in Monterey/Pacific Grove CA. This reminds me of my favorite breakfast restaurant of all times which is First Awakening in Monterey/Pacific Grove area. I lived in CA for almost all my life and would be craving a Bacado and drive down from our house (3.5 hr drive o/w) for breakfast. First Watch is my FL First Awakening!! Love it. I have to try the pancakes so I can compare between great and super great!!! read more

Wonderful, healthy food & great service! My only "complaint" is that they're not open for dinner!

Avocado toast was really good and came with eggs. My friend had some multigrain blueberry pancakes and loved them, too. Wasn't too busy when we went (around 11 on a rainy weekday), and service was super fast and polite. Love that it is fresh and nutrition facts are provided! Will definitely return next FL visit :) read more

First Watch - Avocado toast & eggs. Multigrain blueberry pancakes in background - Cafes Near Me - Lady Lake, Florida

We come here often with my parents, who live in the area. The food is always great. Sometimes it's a little slow, when they get really busy. We will continue to eat here when we visit. read more

I have been to First Watch on many occasions. The food has always been good,and the servers are mostly friendly. I will keep going back. read more

Nice place, clean and rather quiet. Good size facility. Rather pricey but you pay for organic. I got the BRACADO omlete with bacon, avocado and Monterey Jack and homemade salsa. My friend got a white omlete, the Tri-Athlete. We shared so I had a little of both. The best part of the breakfast was the strawberry jam and toast. Amazing bread. It was a nice change but more than I care to pay for eggs and toast. read more

The waitstaff was very attentive ! Food was brought out quickly and hot. When we left we felt we ate a very healthy breakfast !

I've eaten here several times after golfing with friends & have always been satisfied. The food & service are great. Very clean too!

I used to go to the one in Orlando. It was always great service and great food. This one is just as good. I would recommend you give it a try.. read more

My husband and I decided to go to First Watch because we have not been there for a long time. I do not know how this place can have over 4 stars in reviews. My husband and I both ordered coffee, 2 eggs, 1 pancake and it came with 2 strips of bacon. I could not believe that it was 2 scrambled eggs. It was tiny. The pancake was cold and not very good. The bacon was not crisp. $14 per person. How ridiculous. We will never go back. 1 star is too much. read more

Went to First Watch for the first time on Saturday. It was an overall great experience. I had the fresh fruit crepes, pumpkin muffin, and granola. It was delicious and our service was spot on. I will definitely return and am looking forward to trying their lunch! read more

My wife and l went to breakfast wth two other couples. We were seated promptly. I ordered the breakfast tacos. Our table was served two at a time over a period of about five minutes. My tacos arrived without explanation much later than the others. Some were done eating before l received my plate. The tacos were cold and extremely soggy. The black beans were tasteless and also cold. There is nothing simple on the menu such bacon, eggs and toast. Most everything on the menu is north of $8.50. With so many other choices in the vicinity I will not go back. Poor food, poor service, and high prices. read more

We have been coming once a week for over a year. During the past month's visits, we've noticed a decrease in service and food quality. I'm really hoping it is just a growing phase with new staff. Today, our server was very inattentive and my son and I got our good a full 10 minutes before my husband received his (on Father's Day). The new breakfast tacos came with cold corn tortillas which made the whole taco cold. I'm not giving up yet because I love this place. Please get it together :( read more

Firstwatch is an innovative concept serving up breakfast foods with solid health benefits. The French toast was excellent and was perfectly cooked. Accompanying the toast were a medley of fresh fruit, including a generous offering of kiwi, bananas, etc. The server was solid and engaging. The coffee, however, could be slightly improved. Firstwatch is highly recommended! read more

We tried breakfast earlier this year at the First Watch in Naples and Bradenton and we're very happy to find a location in The Villages. Really like their menu--especially their smoked salmon frittata and the avocado toast with poached eggs! We enjoyed better than average service and a reasonable lunch hour wait. Prices are fair, too. On our list of favorite breakfast spots in The Villages. read more

I eat here frequently. The services is great and the food wonderfully healthy and delicious. Not your usual breakfast and lunch eatery. Try it out. read more

Let me start off by saying I live near the Brandon location and have hand NOTHING But good experiences there.. However, The location near the Villages was a total disaster. Upon arrival there was no one to greet us at the door.. So 2 parties showed up behind us and got their names on the list ahead of us. Once we sat down, our party of 4 plus to children ordered an omelette, I had the trifecta, the lemon pancakes, another basic breakfast and 2 pumpkin pancakes for the kids.. It took us LITERALLY 90 minutes to get our meal. I could clearly see into the kitchen the cooks were ridiculously slow.. Then about an hour into our wait someone came walking by our table with 12 dozen eggs from Publix.. They must have run out and were stalling the kitchen. Meanwhile entertaining a 4 year old and a 1 year old was not easy. The waitress was very apologetic on several occasions. In the end the comped our entire table because of the wait.. We were very appreciative considering. read more

Awesome food and unique. Not just plain old food that's fresh and very interesting combinations I have been there several times and never been disappointed. read more

We always enjoy a great breakfast or lunch here. Very pleasant in décor, attentive staff and lots of delicious food choices which includes really fresh and healthy choices too. read more

Healthy, great service,healthy, everything had great taste. Simply delicious. Reasonable prices for eating healthy!

Disappointed in the breakfast this morning. Three of us had the Blueberry pancakes. Ordered two with a side of sausage. The pancakes were extremely dry. Extra butter and syrup couldn't put moisture in the pancakes. How ever the service and the server was excellent. read more

I visited First Watch while I was on vacation (staying with my sister who lives by the villages). We were looking up breakfast places that could accommodate a party of 10 and decided to give this place a try; i am so happy we did! Service was fast and excellent, food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. I highly recommend going here and wish there were First Watches up north!!! read more

Pretty good place to eat. It's a franchise restaurant but it was way better than a Denny's or a Cocos. Glad we stopped by good service good food. read more

Excellent fresh tasty food for lunch. We are planning to come back for breakfast too soon. We had grilled turkey sandwich and Santa Fe salad. Also had a roast beef sandwich. All very tasty. Our server Tonya was simply terrific. Place is very cheery and very clean. read more

I had the breakfast special sandwich that was nothing short of delicious. My husband's granola bowl was filled with yummy fruit and they even brought by extra granola and milk for him. Our server, Lindsey, was delightful and attentive. We will be back. read more

Just stopped by because of all the great reviews. We arrived around lunchtime - I was concerned this was more a breakfast place, but it had great selections for lunch too. Our server had a great attitude - he was prompt when taking our order and got the substitutions right. So many fantastic choices on the menu that it was hard to narrow down what we all wanted. Two of us got breakfast, one got lunch. Everything was delicious. The only downside was it took quite a long time for our food to come out, and it was a little plain inside (not much ambiance). Would definitely recommend it! read more

Always excellent and very clean! When considering a healthy meal to meet up with friends this would be my first choice. The portions are very large and so far they don't charge an extra fee to split a meal as do some restaurants. read more

Not very impressed after hearing a lot about them. Limited selection. Quality was ok, but not worth the price or wait.
