I will own the fact that we went here at 11am on a Sunday, so I understand it'll be busy. We were told a 45 minute wait. An hour and 30 minutes later we finally sat down. Ordered our food and waited another 35 minutes for it. Absolutely ridiculous and it wasn't that good, nothing special. Won't go again read more

Always a "whole"some place to eat. A good way to start the day. Love the grits, cheesy is the way to go... service is great and fast. A place with food and good vibes! read more

I never thought that breakfast could be so luxurious, healthy, and affordable! Just visited on Thursday and am still thinking about my trip! My husband and I have never been there before and were EXTREMELY delighted! The avocado toast is absolutely delicious, and my husband, with the help of our absolutely AMAZING server Ryan, settled on a steak and egg hash that wasn't even on the menu! Thank you Ryan for going above and beyond! We will be back for the great food and great service VERY soon!!! MUST TRY!!! read more

Great Fresh New Restaurant- food is great. If your looking for a $5 plate special this is not the place for you. If you are looking for top quality ingredients with a great staff (we Love LIZ!) this is the place for you! Will be returning often! read more

Really loved the food at first watch. A lot of vegetarian options. I absolutely enjoyed the market hash. Service was excellent and the staff were very attentive read more

If you want a great breakfast, brunch, and or lunch come check this place out. Fresh ingredients, great atmosphere and service that makes the experience worthwhile. I've ate here a couple times now and have not had a bad service or cold food or even something that I don't like it's all so good and fresh and delicious, the amount of flavor you get out of each bite is incredible. My server was Angela, she was prompt, always smiling and made my experience wonderful. Go give this place a try even if it's a little drive you won't be disappointed in the food. read more

This place is horrible on reservations. At least 3 times I've had confirmed reservation times, then arrive to be told another 40 minutes. Kitchen is short staffed- always. Very disappointing. read more

Food is good. Service with a smile. Not enough staff. Long time to be greated at your table. Inexcusably long wait for food.

I had the Salmon Frittata and my wife had the Farmhouse Skillet. Both were very good. Our server was friendly and attentive. The coffee was amazing. I can definitely recommend this place. The restaurant was well spaced out, so I felt comfortable even during the pandemic. read more

Not very good. I asked for another table cause it was right in the sun, she said well where do you want to sit, ok so I got to pick. Didn't get my juice until food came, waitress didn't check on us, food was just ok and very expensive. I also saw someone who works there walk in with a bag of Quaker Oats. Was there once before and it's really nothing special, we won't be back. read more

This is the second time I've been to this location where the wait times have been ridiculous. After we were seated with drinks, we had to wait almost +40 minutes up until this point for food. Our waitress told us they received several online orders just when we came in. Really? So you can't cut off the online orders when you have a line going out the door? I won't be back to this location. I recommend the Canton First Watch. read more

Just okay. Nothing to write home about. Way over priced for the small amount of food you get. Potatoes should not me ala carte. $40 worth of food and hardly anything to show for it. read more

Online it looks good and wanted to try it. I placed an online order, I left work about 10 mins after. Once I got in I had to wait another 20 minutes before the waitress brought it out. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to make a simple French toast order but apparently here it does. My food was kinda warm but it wasn't good. If you're okay with waiting 30+ mins for an order and getting just average food, this is the place for you. Not worth my $10 when other places make the same thing, probably better, for less and get it made faster. Overall absolutely pathetic. read more

I just visited this great location and was surprised at how clean and quick the service was. We had the market veggie omelet and its to die for along with delicious chocolate chip pancakes. I would def. recommend this place to friends and family. our server Ryan was exceptional. Will be returning soon. read more

Online ordering is always off! Never answer phone and if they do they "don't have anyone to take my order." Lazy! Used to eat here all the time but I'm sick of the laziness. At 8:30 AM, this is inexcusable! read more

Good was delicious... once it all made it out to the table. Iced coffee had almost no coffee in it. Ordered a Bloody Mary, came 15 minutes later with none of the described toppings & tasted like straight tomato juice. Service was passive and didn't help with any issues. Not worth the wait. read more

The food was excellent and, Ryan was awesome making our experience much better. I got the avocado toast, at first it felt a little plain, after combining it with some of the yolk and egg white it really changed my perspective. This will definitely be a new spot in the breakfast rotation. First watch is not the typical place you would find in East Lansing. read more

This place looks great but is terrible. I could see the reminisce of lip gloss on my cup from a previous diner. Two little shitty sausages were $4 that I thought came with the one pancake that I ordered and they gave me two and charged two. Saw our waitress once and she seemed incompetent and couldn't take our finished plates from our tiny little table. Dirty ass place. read more

The food was cold after picking the food up 20mins later. Quite possible that the food was not made fresh. Very disappointed. Good thing there are plenty of breakfast restaurant options in the area read more

I have been here in the past and service and food was good. I did happen to stop in today...not busy...slow to get the food and it was not warm. Think it was sitting for a while before someone else brought it out. Should have sent it back but did not have the time to wait again. May not rush back here anytime soon. read more

The customer service at this restaurant is horrible, don't go there expecting to be seated within an hour. The App and the in store wait times are totally different. Do not go hear expecting to be treated with respect and fairness!!! read more

Delicious once again. Lemon ricotta pancakes are light and creamy. Chile chorizo omelette perfect spicy eggs! Strawberry preserves on the thick multigrain toast is that perfect crunchy sweet treat! Shout out to Ryan our server this morning - mad balancing skills and very friendly! read more

Best brunch I've ever had! Million Dollar bacon is the bomb. And I love how they have gluten free options and dairy free creamers.

Love the app check in! So quick and easy. Food was fresh and delicious! Hate leaving a brunch feel like the food was unhealthy. This place is the opposite. Love the windows and ambience. read more

This was our first time at the Livonia, Mi location. We've been to the one in TN a few times. We love the food and the experience. The GM, Laura at the Livonia MI location was very friendly, attentive and the wait staff did a fantastic job. We went on the morning of our anniversary and we were not disappointed! This is definitely our new go to spot for breakfast! Thanks Laura and team! read more

Very corporate feel to this place. Food was mediocre and service was lacking. Would not go back a second time.

We ordered carry out and the omelette, donuts, pancakes were cold, and bacon was undone. The overall experience was a waste of our time and money. We won't be going back! We should of went to Scamblers. read more

This place is amazing. Make sure you get Ryan as your server! He is great and seems to love his job.

My girlfriend and I recently dined in since the restriction was lifted and had such a great experience! We told our server, Ryan, that it was our first time eating there and he was very helpful and answered all of our questions and helped steer us in the right direction. The food was phenomenal, especially the seasoned potatoes and the toast! We will be sure to return and hope to have Ryan has our server again! read more

The service and food was sooo good. Ryan was our sever and he was amazing. We will definitely be back soon.

Love the carnitas breakfast burrito. Service could be better...both in person and over the phone. We go here for the food, the kitchen does a great job and the coffee is pretty good too. read more

Stopped for late breakfast had a wait of 10mim. Had biscute and gravy with scrambled eggs. Very happy with my meal.hubby had hash all good except bacon said tough and stringey had great service read more

Their App to "get in line" doesn't work. The poor layout results in standing in a crowd while you are waiting (because the App doesn't work) by the front door by the entrance in the path of paying/departing customers and more incoming patrons. It doesn't work. It's the opposite of a relaxing start to the day. The service was so slow last time that they volunteered to pay our bill for the table. Nice gesture for sure but there are too many downsides to make this a worth visiting which is a shame because the food that I've tasted is good. read more

I was excited to try this new restaurant. I Ordered the avocado toast very disappointing, it arrived with freezing cold avocado on cold toast. The eggs were ok but broken. Not what I expected for $10.95. I left the pace as hungry as I'd arrived. Also wait staff were busy but no one came by to refill drinks, water or ask how it all was....oh well. read more

First meal at First Watch: The parking lot was packed at 1 PM on a Friday, but we were seated quickly. The decor is bright and casual, a non-fussy hybrid of industrial and farmhouse - large windows and a high ceiling flood the open dining area with light, and wood-slab tables outnumber booths. Lots of uniformed staff were bustling about, efficient and professional. The production serving plates have artisan-looking shapes and colors. A glass carafe of water was provided for the table, and we saw other tables with tea/coffee carafes. The menu focuses on breakfast/brunch fare, with an extensive selection of both egg, non-egg, meat, and meat-less options (but no hash browns, only cubed potatoes). Our table ordered the carnitas burrito, and the BLT with tomato+basil soup. Nice presentation, and both dishes were very good - we would order the same again. The only downside to our visit was the length of time it took for our food to arrive - 25 minutes after the order was taken. Don't know if this time frame is typical - but we will definitely go back for another visit... read more

First Watch - Carnitas burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

You can't go wrong with First Watch! I always get the Trifecta but opted for a Traditional this visit. Instead of the English muffin I asked for a biscuit. Everything served was perfect and exactly what I was hoping for! This location was clean and the staff was friendly. It was a nice stop on our road trip and we plan on stopping again on the way home. read more

This is one of our favorite breakfast places. Our family had a great experience today! Our server was Terri, and she was great!! She was so attentive, and took great care of us. First Watch is a welcome place in our neighborhood and we look forward to many delicious meals there!!! read more

Very very slow service. Food was good but total of 2 hours for three of us to sit down eat breakfast and leave seems excessive. Wait staff was just ok- asked for syrup for my daughters waffles and she seemed irritated and we never got it so we borrowed from another table. read more

Great experience! The staff is great and the food is even better! We tried the avocado toast which was great. The avocado was so fresh and the whole grain toast is amazing. We also tried the million dollar bacon-it is wonderful! The right about of sweet, salt and spice! It's a must try item!! The server also suggested the kale tonic, it was refreshing and tasted freshly juiced! Overall an amazing experience and we definitely will return! read more

I don't mind waiting for a good meal but this was not good at all. We waited 20-30 minutes to be seated and that long to get our meal. Pancake so dry you couldn't swallow them. The chicken patties was so thin it was dry. Waitress friendly but still needed training, did not return to the table the entire meal to check on us.No syrup served with pancake, I had to ask for water but glasses were on the table. I had to ask for a refill on my coke. All in all I would not go back. Very pricey for what we got. read more
