10/10 experience with Amber as our server! She has such a positive energy and took the time to create a perfect dining experience! Go Amber & thanks to her, we'll be back! Also thank you for casting your vote on my sister's wedding dress! read more

I visited First Watch recently and ordered the Tri-Athlete, which I really enjoyed. I like that they offer healthier options on their menu, and it's nice to have lighter breakfast choices that still taste good. The service, however, was just okay. It wasn't busy during our visit, but our server didn't check on us very often and we had to ask for drink refills. We were also not given napkins, which was a little inconvenient during the meal. Overall, the food was good and I appreciate the healthier menu options, but the service could have been more attentive. read more

Absolutely enjoyed my experience from start to finish! It was my birthday on Tuesday, so I wanted to use my reward for breakfast after not being able to make it on my actual birthday-day! So, I tried to sit outside, but it was a little too chilly, so I decided to see about moving inside, I thought it would've been a big deal, but Caitlin was very accommodating and I was able to move inside and enjoy my BEC, which stands for bacon, egg, and cheese! And wow! This sandwich! I see why my server can't wait until this sandwich comes back on the menu. It is so much more than just those three toppings--the sourdough bread, peppers, and sauce make all those ingredients pop! Every bite was amazing and I was very sad when I had to box it up and take it with me. However, not for long as I was able to have some amazing leftovers! The staff were super helpful and I will be back to use my logo coupon!! read more

First Watch - Bacon, egg, and cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The host that seated me as a single diner seemed bothered that I asked for a booth at a time in the morning that there were only six to eight people in the entire restaurant. He seated me at a single-sided booth which was fine. The server was amazing. She was attentive to every need and proactive in filling drinks and making offers that provided an exceptional dining experience. I realize prices have gone up, but $20 plus for a breakfast is a little bit steep. Although we have been going to this location for over 20 years, probably won't be going back here as a single or family because of the expense. read more

Really liked the juice, Morning Meditation with Immunity Boost. Coffee and Mimosa is a good start too. The menu offers your basic breakfast options and some less than usual. The best, iyam, are the Avocado Toast because they put a good amount of smashed avocado on top of the toast and it's served with two eggs cooked to your liking. I also like the Trifecta with the waffle, two eggs, choice of meat, waffle. Assorted goodness. They also have delicious Salads and really tasty Sandwiches. Service varies, but typically we have had good to exceptional service. Sadly our more recent visit was not up to par. The young lady taking care of our table seemed distracted. Items ordered lagged, when it did arrive it was not cooked as specifically requested. Item was sent back and replacement came less desirable than the one delivered previously. When it came time to drop the check she asked me and my friend if we had coffee. By the process of elimination AND by glancing at the table she could've easily seen three coffee cups, placed in front of those that did order and were drinking coffee. Again, service is generally good and attentive. It was just unfortunate we we seated in this servers station. Oh, and the parking lot here can be chaotic. Pack your patience. read more

This is hands down my favorite First Watch location in Mesa! I always look forward to trying the seasonal menu items here because there's always something new that's both eye-catching and mouthwatering. The restaurant itself is always clean and lively, and I didn't have to wait at all to be seated during my visit. Our server, Stephany, was super friendly and attentive. My boyfriend and I both went for the seasonal options: * Maple Bacon Croissant Sandwich (Million Dollar Bacon, sausage patty, cage-free eggs, pickled jalapeños, aged Cheddar, and bacon apricot jam on a buttery croissant round with seasoned potatoes). * Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash (chipotle-glazed chicken, bacon, peppers, onions, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, potato hash, eggs, Cotija, pickled red onions, avocado, lime crema, and scallions). Both dishes were absolutely delicious! The apricot jam on the croissant sandwich paired perfectly with the spicy jalapeño, and the chipotle hash had the ideal balance of savory and sweet. First Watch is always a great choice! read more

DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED, EVEN ON PATIO. Absolutely disappointed by this location. Their Yelp shows that dogs are allowed, and past reviews on Google reviews even discuss customers bringing their dogs to this location. We were turned away before even making it to the door by a hostess with the manager right behind her for backup. We were told only service dogs are allowed, even on the patio. Please update your Yelp information to state this as it is very misleading and very inconvenient to drive all the way out here to be turned away on miscommunication. read more

Always a go to spot. Lots of seats but sometimes a short wait, go on the website to get in line early. Great service and really well made food with fresh ingredients. Seasonal menus every quarter makes for a new experience. Love their fresh juices and many healthy options (not just substitute egg whites). My dad and I have a tradition going here after Pats Run. read more

Great service today. My friend and I meet here every month and enjoy the veggie choices. We were allowed to visit tabs did not feel pressured. When meal came out the server noted incorrect soup and quickly got the correct one. Food served warm and fresh. Appreciate prices as indicated and no extra charges. The parking was easy and location is great !! read more

My first time in Mesa location! I've been to the Tempe ASU first watch for many times. Both locations have good food and nice vibe. Sometimes Tempe location was slow with the food serving tho but I still like to go. It's been a long time since I have been to first watch. When I opened their menu, I was surprised by their price--after the egg price went up and all the other places raised their prices, first watch still kept their very reasonably priced menu. I believe it was around 12-13 for this huge plate of omelette. And the food is as good as before. The omelette is fluffy and filled with bacon and avocado. The bread is buttered in the kitchen. I tried my very best but I still couldn't finish the whole plate. I will always recommend a casual brunch with friends at first watch! And now, I would even recommend the mesa location a little bit more. You can even go to the Costco nearby after finishing brunch read more

We were looking into having breakfast at this location but before we can even open the door, host walks out and immediately tells us we Cannot eat at the patio seating which is totally not good business. Asking if our dogs are SERVICE dogs, when my dog is in training but I thought I will NOT ever eat at this restaurant. Oh wait ..... so why on your app state it is dog friendly?!!!

Stopped in for a quick Easter breakfast. We were greeted & seated promptly. Our server was friendly and efficient. I went for the healthy turkey omelette, and my husband ordered the trifecta.

This is a fun breakfast spot that I definitely recommend! The service was attentive and kind, which made us feel really welcomed. It wasn't too busy, even for a Thursday morning, so we never felt rushed. I ordered the Parma skillet and it was really good--flavorful, hearty, and perfectly crispy and soft. While I didn't try any drinks or juices this time, they looked super fun and creative. I definitely recommend! read more

This place is worth the wait! Eggs are delicious and I love the toast. Staff is nice.

I took my mom out for a birthday brunch after her doctor's appointment, and we decided to try First Watch. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, service was good and it was perfect for our special occasion. My mom sampled the breakfast special from their holiday menu; the Steak & Eggs, which she said were cooked to perfection, while I opted for the Chicken & Gruyere Omelette, It was originally Ham, but I don't eat pork! Potatoes were okay, but the toasts didn't come with butter. A little bummed about that, but oh well. We also had the coffee with hazelnut - a delightful touch! Overall, it was a lovely experience, not perfect, but I still recommend it for a casual yet delicious brunch. read more

First Watch is always a great breakfast choice! They have plenty of options, the Parma and Farmhouse Hashes are both delicious and the lemon ricotta pancakes are to die for. It's been years since I've dined in but my takeout orders are always fresh and properly packed and even when they're busy, the wait time isn't bad. I always see flocks of folks waiting outside during peak times, so safe to assume that the dine in service is just good. If you need a quality breakfast place for a bite to eat, definitely check out First Watch! read more

Wife and I came by for breakfast about 10am today. Wife had an omelet with potatoes and I had skillet hash. Everything was OK except for the potatoes. If you're going to clea the grill of 6am potatoes, please don't serve them to customers. PS. Melissa is the bomb. read more

I walked in and was seated immediately, which was awesome considering the place was hoppin. I sat for about 15 minutes before a server came over and told me my server got caught up but they would take my order. I ordered the biscuits and gravy (ofc) with a side of sausage links and eggs over medium. I also got the purple haze drink and it's divine. The food was delicious and I'd get it again. The place has music playing, but not too loudly and the chatter of patrons is a nice background sound. Nothing too loud and comfy seats and tables. Aside from the server snaffu, I was very pleased with my visit! read more

I have always loved First Watch but I had to leave a raving review about my experience this morning! My boyfriend and I stopped in and were quickly sat in a nice booth with a beautiful view! Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We ordered the Double Bacon Parmesan Hash which is an exclusive holiday menu items and the Biscuits and Gravy. I got an Orange Juice which is by far the best OJ I've had at a restaurant! Sweet with just the right amount of tart. The Hash was super flavorful, with such good texture from the onion, spinach, and crispy bacon! The parmesan was cheesy enough for a slight cheese pull and the cream sauce and lemon drizzle brightened the whole dish. BEST BREAKFAST EVER! The biscuits were soft and fluffy, smothered in the warmest gravy with just the right amount of sausage for flavor. The breakfast potatoes were a little firm for my liking and the eggs slightly runnier than I ordered them but I hardly noticed because of how delicious everything else was. Love this holiday menu, this location, and our waiter! read more

Service was pretty good. Food was not work the price. This is my second time coming to this restaurant. This restaurant does have a good vibe. Both time meals were small for the price. Went to another restaurant the next day paid about or close to the same and we had leftovers. Charging $20+ for 2 eggs and sausage is almost steeling. When down. The street we had an omelette with green peppers onions and sausage on the side with a large iced coffee for $17.00 oh and they gave us fresher baked Muffins for free to say thank you for trying our spot. This is why we most likely unless it's the only place open we will not be going back. 2 breakfast for $58.00 +tip NO thanks read more

From the moment we sat down, everything was top notch! The food, atmosphere, and especially the service. But the real stand out was Melissa.

Highly recommend you won't be disappointed if you sit in her section. read more

I came here with a friend for lunch and we sat outside. Yes it was hot but I was quiet and away from the crowds of people inside. We both thought it would be nice to have a small misting fan outdoors to help the experience be more pleasant for those who prefer or need to be away from other people, e.g. sensory challenges. My friend ended up getting the tostada special and she really enjoyed it. She also got a watermelon drink which she also said was very much a watermelon flavor (which was good). I got the traditional breakfast because I think it has the most variety, healthy options, and value. I liked it except my bread was far too toasted and the potatoes were a bit too hard (needed to be cooked longer). Other than that, the experience was good and we enjoyed ourselves. read more

Our server LILA was delightful and delivered an above and beyond experience from start to finish, even with a little hiccup along the way. My boyfriend says the veggie burger was the best he's ever had, and my veggie sandwich (on parmesan sourdough instead) was the best I've had in the US. He very much enjoyed the coffee pot at the table to do his own refills, and I tried the "morning meditation" juice for the first time - what an absolute treat! We decided to send outside and the music was very chill and not too loud. Nice mix they've selected! Well done, First Watch team - we can't wait to come back! read more

Decided to give this place a try for Sunday breakfast! It took about 15-20 minutes until we were seated. The place was pretty busy but our food didn't take long to come out. We ordered the Chickichanga and The Works with a pitcher of sangria. Food was delicious. The chickichanga was topped with a lemony sauce which was surprisingly really good. The omelet had a bunch of meats and veggies which was perfect. I got the greens with the omelet but I believe you can get potatoes instead. The sangria was fresh since they made us a new batch because they ran out. I saw that they leave the entire pot if you want coffee, but we didn't get it since we had sangria! The vibes were nice. It wasn't too loud where we weren't able to hear each other. read more

They state pets are welcome, I walked up with my baby and dog and was welcomed to porch sitting with one other person on the porch. We sat all the way to the back corner to be courteous since I had my dog. I was brought menus, drinks and had been spoken to by 3 different severs before the manager came out asking if my dog is a service dog. I state no he is not and she goes on to say they only welcome service animals. I inform her it states online that they welcome animals with no specific requirements of them being service related. She goes on to tell me that can't be right she will check but we can't be there with the dog. How are you going to have multiple servers approach and set me down to eat and then tell me I'm not welcome. They also allow random people from the street come up and harass their customers. read more

My first time at this first watch location- as with others, I've always had good food. today we started with an iced tea and iced coffee, which were great. The iced coffee is slightly sweet and very tasty. I had the avocado toast with scrambled eggs, which was really really good. My companion had the am superfoods breakfast. Also, very very good! The absolute highlight of our meal was our server, Jarod. This guy- he was a delight. Enthusiastic, kind, helpful and pretty fast. He was very attentive to us and we very much enjoyed having him in our life for a short time. What a great guy. Thank you Jared for a good experience. read more

Delicious food with a great gluten free French toast option . Caring service and nice clean atmosphere.

Great food, service, ample seating. Hungry and on vacation, the always enticing pics of chocolate y churro drew me in like a magnet. I knew I had to have it, so I did. It didn't disappoint. I loved the chocolate sauce that makes the combo so perfect. I was not a fan of the caramel sauce, but others were so it's all good. My eggs benedict florentine was fantastic. Fresh, tasty, and the paired salad had immense flavor in its marinated lemon juice. Finally, I had a bite of the grits with butter and it was absolutely mouth-watering. It's a smaller portion, so you'd be able to fit this in as an appetizer for one. Great place, would come back next time I'm in town. read more

Delicious fresh healthy food. Yummy drinks. Friendly and fast service. Clean . Has become one of my go to places.

First Watch is a good, not great, breakfast/brunch restaurant. There is something for everyone on the menu from omelets, pancakes/waffles, healthier breakfasts, lunch, salads, sandwiches, and soup. The downsides: -First Watch does not serve alcohol. -There are only a few pancake/waffle options so you won't get any decadent cinnamon roll, peanut butter, nutella flavored options. -Depending on what you order, it can be reasonably/decently priced. $6.39 for a stack of pancakes (no sides). See below. I was feeling pretty basic so I ordered the Trifecta- pancake, eggs, and choice of meat for $11.79. I upgraded to the lemon ricotta pancake for +$2 and ordered a side of fresh, seasoned potatoes for $3.59. The total came out to $17.38 without tax and tip. Not cheap for a single breakfast. Portion was decent but could have at least included two chicken sausages and potatoes imo. The lemon ricotta pancake was meh; I'd skip it next time. There was a generous dollop of lemon curd, very reminiscent of filled doughnut lemon curd. The ricotta was the selling point and reason I had upgraded but could only find a smidge in the center of the pancake. If you're looking for something more elevated and healthier than your chain breakfast/brunch spots, First Watch is a good option. Just be mindful of cost/portion sizes; you won't get diner portions here! read more
