4/13/26 I had a birthday coupon from First Watch and we stopped by to have brunch. Our server Kaylee was adorable! She met us at the door, took us to the table and got our drink orders. We looked at the extensive menu and my husband chose the Trifecta. His entree had a Waffle, Bacon , 2 eggs and he added cheese. I had the Traditional with Bacon, and scrambled eggs where I added Cheddar Jack Cheese. It also came with whole wheat toast points. I chose fruit over potatoes. Kaylee checked on us so very often. She had made suggestions for what I would like and she was exactly on target. It was very relaxing and we had a great time. When we checked out, there was the nicest and sweetest girl at the checkout and I asked her name but I forgot it. I'm so sorry. It was a wonderful time! Robyn read more

I was in much need of breakfast since arriving early in the area for an appointment. I was seated once I arrived, luckily they weren't busy yet but had a steady stream of customers coming & going. My server Ella was immediately at my table to take my drink order, which was a coffee ( flavored creamer & sugars options were already available on the table) & a water. I ordered seasonal Carne Asada Hash with a side of million $ bacon. Let me tell you.... This was a lot of food. The hash was loaded with potatoes, steak, eggs, pico, avocado. So full of flavor & the tortillas were a nice touch. The million $ bacon was good definitely seasoned but not spicy ( to me) at all. Ella kept checking on me throughout my meal & I really enjoyed the chill atmosphere while taking my time & enjoy my breakfast read more

We love First Watch restaurants, this is another great one! It was very busy and they said we could sit at the communal table, an elongated table near the entrance with 10 chairs. So we did and so glad we did. Had a great time visiting people headed to a rodeo, a student on spring break with her mom and a couple businessmen headed to visit a factory. We were told that not a lot of FW restaurants have this type of table. Food was ordered and it came out fast. I had the power wrap. A delicious turkey wrap with mushrooms, egg white, spinach on a sun dried tomato basil wrap. I thought it was great! My SO Parmesan prosciutto & egg special on sourdough bread. It was special! Loved everything about this FW! As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!' read more

My husband and I have begun to eat here on a weekly breakfast date on the weekends. We get breakfast on Sundays before the NFL football games, which starts our "sports-viewing" off right. We really enjoy our dining experiences here. The staff are always friendly, helpful, informative and efficient, no matter how crazy-busy they are. It seems that the entire staff runs like a smoothly-oiled machine. Once we are seated, the server usually comes to ask our drink preferences almost immediately. Everything else happens in a timely fashion without much wait-time. Of our many visits, we have never had a dish that was unappetizing or negative in any way. Because the food is tasty, the staff is courteous and the prices are reasonable, we will continue to dine here on our breakfast dates. read more

Normally I would give First Watch a five star everytime, but not today! To the First Watch CEO Chris Tomasso My husband was excited to come to First Watch this morning, where he learned that the summer menu has been changed to the fall menu. He was even willing to pay extra for the Burrito. No go! To see the disappointed on his face because his burrito is not on the menu. He says "I have to wait 8 months" " what happened to customer satisfaction" "Everyone else got what they wanted but me". Please place this man summer burrito on the regular menu so I can stay a loyal customers year around... read more

Good spot to grab a bite...usually busy until closer to 1...not too bad if you eat it outside. Inside is crowded and loud, but regardless, food is fresh and good. They have specials each month, and this month is cinnamon spice...I tried the hibiscus drink and it was pretty tart, but since I'm not a fan of cinnamon I had them hold the cinnamon sugar spice on the rim...it probably would habe helped. The servers are ok, when they are busy, if you are outside, it may take them time tonget back with you. I've also ordered to go online from here, and it is super easy and convenient (as long as you can find a parking spot). read more

This place was recommended by a co-worker and it lived up to the hype. The food was outstanding, fresh, and mind blowing. The whole pancakes are very large, tasty, and eye candy. Got the Banana one and tasted like Banana pudding. The kale juice was out of this world for a healthy drink, I could drink this everyday. My wife loved her whole pancake and morning meditation juice as well. On a scale of 1 to ten, she rated them both a ten. The place was very busy and were seated in ten minutes. The waitress was fast and friendly. The place was spacious, with tables both inside and outside. Plenty of parking on it's lot. Definitely will be back to try more stuff. read more

They slack with to go orders. We are done with this place. They're so wildly inconsistent. Sometimes our potatoes are cooked sometimes they're still a bit raw. To go is a joke, it's usually over salted and missing ingredients. Just spent $24 on a market hash and ended up tossing it. They need better cooks and management. read more

We had The Works Omelet. Very good indeed. Also a seasonal item, the Chimchurri Steak Potato Hash. Hot Dang, it was great. I will have it again hopefully. Of course the Bloody Mary helped it along quite nicely. Roth was our server and did a fine job. Probably ask for him next time. read more

I have been here multiple times and every time is amazing. The food menu is extensive and if you're with a group, everyone wil find exactly what suits their fancy that day. Traditional breakfast/ lunch is a solid staple, but their grain bowls with quinoa is usually where i end up. I also love their juices (kale and morning are yum!) and get those often. Service is great and friendly, and usually on weekends there is a bit of a wait because of how popular it is. On sundays we tend to order delivery and it's always prompt and delicious-something i look forward to! read more

Great food, great service, awesome juices. We tried their seasonal pomegranate pear juice. It was delish. I wanted to try something different this time so I went with the pesto chicken quinoa bowl. Boy was a happy with my choice. It was bursting with flavor and had plenty of chicken. It was the perfect portion size and the price is right on point. The only think I would add is some pine nights for some crunch. The chocolate chip pancake was excellent. It was huge but my son was able to finish half of it. read more

I have gone here several times with my family for brunch/breakfast and it never disappoints. My favorite brunch spot of all places here so far. I keep coming here to try new things because there are so many amazing choices. Affordable brunch compared to ny prices these dishes would be easily over $15 but these are mostly under that. Farmhouse skillet hash - super good, potatoes on point Lemon ricotta pancakes - we love tart and this has just enough tart with fluffy pancakes to share Florentine eggs benedict - saucy and pairs well with the mixed greens and potatoes Roast beef and havarti - my cousin really liked it since it's like a panini Pesto chicken quinoa bowl - feel so healthy when i get this and it's so fresh Elevated egg sandwich - better than most egg sandwiches it's definitely not basic Pomogranate sunrise - loved this drink and was just strong enough to make me feel it was worth it and not get me tipsy Service - fairly attentive but helpful with the recommendations. They are moving since this place is generally busy all the times i've come and at different times. Recommend - get on their waitlist sign up online read more

The ambiance is incredible! Though for the amount that you spend the food is mid and I may sound like a parent here even though I'm only 14 but you could make the same at home. The service is awesome though my waiter was so nice and the presentation is great! For a quick breakfast highly recommended. (P.S For onion haters this place isn't for you!) read more

You can find First Watch throughout Louisville and throughout the country. It is a typical breakfast/lunch/brunch place. This location is well positioned amongst the hospitals and the highway. it is a good place to meet folks for a coffee or a light meal. On a weekday, you will be seated quickly. The service is prompt and timely. The coffee is hot and they leave you the pot to give yourself refills. They have international creamer packets on the tables. I appreciate that the menu lists the calories for each item, and if you are on their website, you can get a breakdown of the macros as well. I have ordered a variety of things here, my favorite is the Triathlete. It is an omelet with mushrooms, onions and peppers. It is a filling and tasty option. When you are done with your meal, you go to check out at the check out desk and can even buy the first watch cookbook. The atmosphere in this First Watch is comfortable and cozy. It's a great place to meet and I know I will be back. read more

I had never been to a first watch. This is an excellent place for breakfast, brunch or lunch! Staff were really friendly, nice and professional. The menu is huge, so I still have to try many other items within the menu. I had the chimichanga and it was delicious along with country potatoes. The chocolate chip muffin was amazing as well. This location gets really busy so make a reservation if possible, but even as busy as it gets out food came out really quick and perfect. I'll become a regular to first watch locations. read more

I always feel lucky to be seated fast and the get a huge cup of fresh delicious coffee. I ordered the Trifecta. It's in the upper right corner of the menu. Bacon, two eggs and a multigrain waffle. It came with warm syrup and was perfectly cooked. Hats off to the fine staff from greeter, seater, wait person and Chefs. read more

Met a couple of friends here for a late brunch after a Monday morning workout, so was on a post fitness high and ordered accordingly. Yes, I was tempted by some tasty pancakes, waffles, and bacon, but I was so happy to see just as many appealing options that wouldn't cancel out my recent effort. I ordered the Tri-Athlete which has roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and green chiles in a cage-free egg white omelet. It was accompanied by fresh pico de gallo, thick slice of whole grain toast, strawberry preserves, and a small bowl of mixed fruit that included pineapple, honeydew melon, purple seedless grapes, and blueberries. I also ordered a large cranberry juice and black coffee. The coffee was hot and strong. The cranberry juice was in an unexpectedly large glass, so I'd probably ratchet back to a smaller serving next trip. I was so happy to see all of the nutritional information available in great detail. It took a lot of the guesswork off of my hands since I'm currently trying to log all of my intake. This place was very busy for a Monday mid-morning, but I found a parking space after one circuit of the lot. We were also seated in less than 5 minutes and service was wonderful. We had plenty of coffee and relaxed conversation and never felt rushed during our entire meal or for a bit of loitering afterwards. The seating was comfortable and noise level was at a medium level, which was to be expected with a full house. We have plans to return and recommend it for anyone who wants to please a group with varied tastes or dietary requirements. Menu has standard fare, healthier options, and comfort items. read more

Atmosphere: As I walked in I didn't know what to expect, but I will tell you the food smelled amazing. I felt like a kid in a candy store . Just so many foods . Every smell that passed my noise I could taste it in the back of throat and it smelled heavenly!!! They were a little bit busy for me but that's expected. I'd rather eat at a busy place than a non busy place. Customer service: Friendly always kept a smile on their face. Food ordered Belgium Waffle Million Dollar Bacon Holey Donuts The food was amazing. It taste just as good as it smelled of not better. I'll be back Total Price $25 read more

First Watch - Breakfast tacos. Tons of flavor, tons of food. So yummy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Our server was great and the hostess was, too. Our problem was with the food and a very loud person in the kitchen who kept yelling loud enough that we could hear every word in the lobby. My husband wanted the avocado toast. After our server took the order she came back and said they were out of avocado. Okay, that happens, he ordered something else. I wanted the biscuits and gravy and that part of the meal was really good. However, I found a black hair in my scrambled eggs, and after that I lost my appetite. I did show it to another server and she was very kind, offering to have new eggs made or get me something else, and they took that meal off our receipt. The wait staff is fantastic, but the kitchen leaves a bit to be desired (this isn't the first time I've found a hair in my food. I also once found a piece of tomato in a pancake.) We may be back but not for awhile. read more

I love stopping in at this first watch location for a weekend brunch. Service is always great and their menu is big enough that anyone can find something they want. They're coffee is some of the best that you can get at a non-coffee shop and I love all the little creamer options at the table (especially the pumpkin spice one!) I ordered the ham and gruyere omelet with potatoes and gluten free toast. The food came out quickly and hot, and I just feel like the flavors of everything is great. I also love how I can get gluten free toast with no upcharge like so many other places have (it's not my fault I have celiacs). Overall 10/10 recommend this place, but definitely join the waitlist before you get there because they're always busy! read more

Came here a little past 9:40 on a Thursday and it was hoppin! Parking lot was almost full but I found a spot pretty close to the door. My friend was already here and had a table so I walked right in. This location still feels open and I love the light fixtures. I ordered a chocolate pancake. Yum! Fluffy! I still think the pancakes at Highland Morning are better but this is definitely pretty good as well! One friend got avocado toast with over easy eggs and sweet tea. The toast is thick and she loved it! She thought the tea could've been sweeter and was not impressed with it. Another friend got the cinnamon chip pancake breakfast. Her pancake was chocolate chip with cinnamon which she thought was a bit sweet. It also came with scrambled eggs and chicken sausage. My other friend got the market veggie sandwich which had pesto, mozzarella, zucchini, spinach, and mayo which looked really good! The waitress said she enjoyed it as well and recommended it. Service was quick and I loved our server! She was sweet and cracked me up without even trying! She was all smiles and was probably a little tired having been up since the place opened. I forgot to check in here since I had forgotten my phone at home so no pictures of the food to share! Still, First Watch and I have a love and hate relationship. Food can be hit or miss sometimes. They've got great prices and vegetarian items so it's a good choice for brunch! read more

We came on a Saturday morning after a failed attempt at going to Wild Eggs (parking was *crazy*), but we had never tried First Watch and were excited about brunch after seeing the photos. We were lucky enough to be seated right away (and at a booth at that!), and other staff members checked in on us before our server arrived. I was torn between the chickichanga and farmhouse hash but ultimately went with the former. It's a combination of chicken, chorizo, cheese, and egg, topped with sauce and sour cream; it also comes with a side of home fries and fruit. I think the sauce and cream somewhat overpowered the taste of chorizo, but it was still eggy, filling, and delicious. You can also occasionally throw on some hot sauce with your bites for a nice kick. I also ordered coffee expecting to have to pay by the cup, but for around $3, you actually get a small carafe to pour, which is awesome. I'd definitely consider coming back to try some of the other menu items if we're in the area. read more

First Watch - Chickichanga - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Solid brunch spot. It was pretty busy for a weekday morning so I imagine it's usually pretty packed most days. The staff was on top of it though because the service was good and the food came out pretty quick. We were initially told there would be a 15 minute wait, but it ended up being less than 5. I wanted something a bit healthier so I got the Tri-Athlete and a side of chicken sausage. It was very good. The veggies in the omelet all went very well together. I ate the chicken sausage and preserves with my toast and it was delicious. Definitely good fuel for a workout. Would highly recommend stopping by for a quick bite. read more
