    Bacon Egg Cheddar sandwich
    Kelly M.

    Good service. Appreciate the ability to join the waitlist online and check current wait times. I like the seasonal specials. Today I tried the BEC (bacon egg and cheddar) sandwich it was really good and had a yummy spicy sauce. I also tried the mint mocha iced coffee which looked better than it tasted. I would not order the mint mocha again but overall a great brunch spot.

    My family decided to give First Watch a try for breakfast. We put our name in on the online check in with a wait time of around 30 minutes (weekday). When we arrived we waited an additional 10 minutes and were alerted to come in via text message. The restaurant has a very busy and quite loud for a weekday. The decor is a kind of classic country, but not outdated. We sat in a booth right by the semi-open kitchen. My wife and I both ordered their traditional breakfast. It comes with 2 eggs, toast, choice of meat and country potatoes. They were pretty standard diner style dishes. Our daughter got blueberry pancake and a green juice. The pancake was good, but not out of this world. Overall the food was good, not worth the price we paid, but good. I still don't totally get the hype and the ridiculous wait times. The wait staff is friendly and service was prompt. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to First Watch, but I wouldn't give them another shot.

    Consistency delicious, high quality, and fast breakfast Our server was amazing and I love the kitchen atmosphere. The restaurant is very loud but that goes with any busy restaurant.

    Cinnamon toast cereal milk drink: delicious

    My friend and I had a fantastic late brunch here. It was our first visit but won't be the last. We were immediately seated and given menus. I was intrigued by the seasonal menu and ordered a boozy Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink. My friend ordered the Million Dollar Bloody Mary and proclaimed it excellent. For our meals I decided to stick to the seasonal menu and went with the double crunch breakfast tacos. Living in San Antonio for 8 years has rubbed off on me and I judge a restaurant by their tacos. These were the best breakfast tacos I've had hands down. I love both the crispy and soft shells and the pork carnitas inside were flavorful and tender. It was stuffed so thick there was probably enough for a third taco. They didn't skimp with the cheese, avocado or scrambled eggs either. Then to top it off it had a strip of bacon with a lime crema and cilantro drizzle. Wow these were excellent! My friend had the classic eggs Benedict and he was very happy. They have several different versions of eggs Benedict but you can't go wrong with the classic. As for me I'm hoping they keep the double crunch tacos on the menu!

    I called a week in advance for a reservation, and found out that they don't accept them. I was assured that call ahead would be fine. So, the morning of, I used the app to reserve our spot. The timing was off, but I believe it was the fault of the table that wouldn't get up. Once we were seated, our orders were quickly taken and food was brought out. I don't know how this is my first time here. Everything was delicious! I can't wait to go back again!

    What a great brunch place! With a seasonal menu complimenting its regular dishes, First Watch offers food which is high quality and delicious! The atmosphere is what one would expect from a breakfast lunch spot - chatter and noise stemming from multiple parties dining at the same time - so timing is everything for a more enjoyable experience. I would recommend hopping on the wait list which is accessible through their First Watch website to streamline the process and to minimize wait time. I have also found that going during the week if your schedule allows minimizes wait time and busy crowds rather than dining during weekends. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. They were attentive without hovering. The food came out hot and was filling though I could see how people with larger appetites may not get enough. Portion size for certain foods runs small. I do recommend the skillet potatoes! First Watch doesn't disappoint!

    I have been here twice now and I love both times. The food is great and it comes out fast. The atmosphere is very relaxed. My server Allie was the best and helped me with any questions I had and recommendations. The quino pesto bowl is amazing and I love the honey Carmel crunch coffee

    Nice bright atmosphere inside. Waitress brought a coffee and drinks fairly quickly but it took a long time til we get our foods. I feel like I waited over 40 min. So I'm assuming they were short staffed. Foods tasted fresh and very light , not oily or greasy at all. But I mostly enjoyed their fresh squeezed juice. I had a kale tonic and it had a light amount sweetness and tasted very fresh. great to have it in the morning to wake me up. I felt as there is room for improvement of their service.

    Place: This place is in Novi and pretty popular place. Definetely add your name to the waiting list to save time. Very spacious and there is a lot of space for families and friends. Very clean and bright. Service: The service is good! We all wanted to try new fun morning drinks so some of tried the blue pea lemonade and it was pretty sweet haha. Food/price: The price is pretty worth for the portion! I was super hungry so I got the omlet with potatatoes on the side. They gave toast as well with jam. I am happy to say I finished it and did not put it in the to go box lol Audience: Great for families and friends. Recommend/tips? Try something new and you won't be dissapointed!

    Are they still open for dine-in?

    Answering this on Nov 22nd. Prior to the most recent shut down, they were open with outside dining and socially distanced seating. But per orders, no restaurants have indoor dining at this point. I would call to see if they are doing outdoor…

The chicken had it's own house sauce on it. Husband had one of their breakfast sandwich. They used high quality cheese. The egg was also prepared well. It was fluffy and lightly browned. It's hard to find a place that does not burn eggs. I think the chefs here are quite talented. A few people did complain about the price here, which is fair because our meal was expensive . But I think it was worth it as the food had not only been fresher, higher quality than most, but also it was skillfully prepared

Yes they are overpriced, yes the quality did go down tremendously however me and my family would spend at least $40 almost every weekend during summer time. Since they are next to the Farmers market that we visit. Today's visit we walked in with our starbucks in hand to purchase breakfast and more drinks to sit down and enjoy. Upon entry my daughter was ambushed and yelled at before she could even open her mouth and place her order she is a child if you need to address and speak to anybody you speak to an accompanying adult. The person behind the counter screamed "you can't be inside the store with the outside drink" new store rules, even if you want to place an order. Be aware! They have lost me as a customer and I will purchase my pastries someplace else, where staff doesnt scream at the kids.
