This place is horrible ! My husband and I were waiting for 20 minutes for our waitress for her to tell me she was eatting in the back . I ordered a BLT and lord knows I had to pray because it wasn't made right. HOW AND WHO messes up a BLT! The service and the food SUCK!! read more

So slow.... parts of the breakfast were cold. While other parts arrived hot. Clearly a problem with coordination in playing food.

I was really looking forward to eating here and have heard good things about it. I unfortunately have a gluten allergy, so finding places to eat can be challenging. The only GF option was toast in exchange for...well anything with gluten. They do not have GF pastries, muffins, pancakes or waffles. Given that it's more upscale than I iHop, I figured they would have these options. They do not. If iHop can pull of GF pancakes, I would think First Watch could as well. Oh well, back to iHop for breakfast. read more

We are so happy that there is a First Watch closet to us. The avocado toast and millionaire bacon was as I remembered it - general serving of avocado on top of whole grain toast. read more

I came here with my kids at what used to be the egg in I. It is so much better. The atmosphere is open and clean. The food is fresh, delicious, and worth the price especially if Codi is fixing up breakfast. We love all the servers but of course Lydia was our latest server and she is so kind, efficient and you will never wait for a refill. You cant go wrong stopping here. read more

What a terrible experience. Lets start with the wait time. Initially the host told us that the wait was between 30-45 mins which I was ok with. After waiting for more than an 1 1/2 we were finally seated. After ordering and receiving the food. We asked why the plates looked different and with some missing items. The waitress told us the ran out with some of the ingredients. The food tasted plain. read more

We had a party of 14 (half of them were age 11 and under), and the staff was so attentive, kind, and helpful. The food was delicious with so many different options. Definitely get in line on yelp if you're going on a Sat/Sun. So worth the wait though! read more

Great food a little out of the ordinary. Love the breakfasts! It had only been open a few weeks and was very busy but service was good.

First, I want to say I love the food and this restaurant. But today I was very disappointed in the level of service and disorganization today. I got pick up and and waited 40 minutes past my pick up time. I understand it was busy but the lack of communication is something that can be controlled. Once the waiting area started to get packed with customers waiting for pick up orders, we were told we would be texted when our order was ready for pick up. I was never texted and I finally went back into the location to see if it was sitting there getting cold, sure enough it was. I think building in text notifications to track your orders progress would really help solve this issue. That way customers are not stuck waiting when they have no idea when their order will be ready. If you order pick up, I would use DoorDash or Ubereats if you don't want to be stuck in the parking lot. read more

I wanted to love this place. But left very disappointed. This took over egg & I....not even close

Pretty sad menu if you just want a typical American breakfast. Probably not their goal, and, if so, they succeed. Everything is loaded with seeds and nuts. Can't get a simple pancake, they're all multigrain with seeds you'll break a tooth on if you're not careful. Waitress or kitchen screwed up our egg orders, and the sunny side eggs were actually raw. My blueberry pancake had chocolate chips in it. Everything pretty pricey. An extra biscuit was 2.49. Coffee over 3.00. Long lines at the register to pay because the same person was acting as hostess and ringing up customers. If you're into super granola breakfasts, this is your place. I'll be finding other options. read more

Went for lunch today and had a great experience. The Pesto Chicken Quinoa bowl was delicious! I highly recommend it! Teresa was our waitress and we had a group of 6 with some specific orders and she didn't miss anything. She got it all right and was very attentive and helpful. Definitely glad this new location opened up! Love this place! read more

Went for lunch, clean place, recently updated as a First Watch, exceptional service from Theresa, and ordered a pumpkin pancake on the side. This was my first time here since the remodel, and brand change. I reccomend this place for organic whole food options. read more

Love First Watch! The menu has a great choice of specialty items. Sometimes uneven servings though- a scattering of a few potatoes some days, generous others, for example. I wish they had some breakfast cocktails... A Bloody Mary or a Mimosa would make my meal! read more

We loved it! Shiitake mushroom frittata and lemon ricotta pancakes with lemon curd were the best I've ever had! Fast service, big portions.

Let's start with the positive.. The restaurant is clean and customer service is excellent. The food is good and there is definitely healthier and fresher options. Negative: You will wait about an hour to get your food. Out of the three times we went, we received the correct order one time. So either you keep an open mind and accept whatever it is you receive the first time OR you wait another 30-45min for them to get you the correct plate the second time. I have had the wrong thing delivered to me three times in one visit. We were given vouchers to come back due to these mistakes, ended up with $50 worth of cards for free food but unfortunately I don't have the time to wait an hour for wrong food so the vouchers won't be used. read more

I recommend First Watch if you are: 1) not very hungry, 2) in possession of a gift certificate to First Watch, or 3) a chick. If you are a man who enjoys a hearty breakfast go elsewhere. read more

Pancakes were good. We could barely find the waiter half the time. Took us a minute to get seated. He kept disappearing, and forgetting to bring us stuff. I asked him for syrup 3 times and by the time I finally got it, my pancake was cold. The eggs were cold, and I requested them to be scrambled with American cheese, but they were just scrambled with no cheese. I brought this to the waiter's attention and by the time he brought my eggs back, I had finished eating. Also, they had shredded cheese (wrong cheese) sprinkled on top and melted. He also split our Bill wrong 3 times, and after the 3rd time, he still split it wrong and ended up overcharging me, but he took forever to bring our card back so we just let it go. Biscuits were amazing. So glad to find a place that can accommodate people who do not eat pork. The place was decently clean. But there was a lady across from us sitting with her legs cross on the chair with NO shoes or socksShe came in with shoes on, bur proceeded to remove them to sit at the table....idk. They had a turkey sausage gravy for the biscuits. read more

Lydia was so good to us this morning when we came in for breakfast on a very busy Sunday morning. We had our one-year old son with us and she made sure he had what he needed when he needed it so we could enjoy our meal. Always love the food and service here! Also, I highly recommend getting in line using the app. It makes the wait quick and painless. read more

Everything was fresh, order the juices. They were fresh. I got the banana pancakes loved them!!!!

So we decided to give this place another try after a not so good experience the first time after the "Egg & I" closed. Unfortunately this time was worse. After waiting 50 minutes after being seated, one order came without the other order. When the other order came 5 minutes later only half of it was on the plate(no potatoes) and the eggs Benedict were cold. The waitress said she would bring out the rest when it was ready which was after the rest of the meal was finished. The overall service was not good and when the cashier asked me to write a review I said I would but it wouldn't be a good one. She laughed.Never asked why! read more

We miss The Egg and I. We were seated quickly and our order was taken 10 min after being seated. Our server forgot to bring us our drinks for 10 more minutes. The coffee was a let down and the food was as well. I had the bacado with the side of greens. I remember having the greens as a side at The Egg and I, but these were dry as heck. Seasoned potatoes were lame. Just overall boring and a let down. read more

First off it was like sitting in the middle of a freezer . They seemed short of help . The food came out cold . The server said it came straight out . I guess it's possible it turned cold from the kitchen to the table with as cold as it was in there . It took a really long for the food to arrive and the place was practically empty . A man sitting near us had the same problem . We had to practically tackle her to get our check and ask more than once for a box . We were never asked if we wanted drink refills . When my husband asked for a drink to go she looked as if he had asked for a free meal . I thought the prices were high on many things . I got French Toast . It was literally two slices of bread and it was nothing special . $10. My husband said that other than being cold his food was good . read more

On Labor Day morning we were told it would be a 30 to 45 min wait. It turned out to be over an hour wait. By this point we were hoping the food was worth the wait. Since we already knew what we wanted, our food did not take long. Overall, the food was just ok. I ordered the farmhouse hash which was too salty, my wife ordered the pumpkin pancake (she liked it) and the avocado toast which turned out to be the best. read more

Eh. Don't bother. This was a major disappointment and not cheap either. The scrambled eggs looked like yellow and white polka dots because they were not beaten together property before cooking. The pepper was empty. The Chaluly sauce was empty. Seriously nothing to go out to eat for. Stay home and have some cereal and you would have a better breakfast. Disappointed. read more

It appears that this restaurant has gone downhill since the name change. I ordered a breakfast with one multigrain pancake. It came with two small eggs and only ONE sausage link-not good. My wife's breakfast came with two rather small scrambled eggs. Seems as if the prices went up and the portion sizes down. Service and coffee were good. Not certain we are going back anytime soon. read more

First, I love first watch. Second, this restaurant should not even consider themselves apart of this brand. Food quality was poor. They have about half of the servers they needed. Waited at the table for 45 minutes for food. Saw our waitress twice because she was so busy. Food was awful but we were starving so we ate it. Skillet should have been over easy eggs.... as you see there is no yoke in the bowl (eggs were way over done). Tacos came with "avocado" I got the bruised end of the avocado that honestly should have been thrown out. All THREE tacos had the same amount of avocado. I totally would have understood if it was just one. I also ordered one pumpkin pancake.... how is it that a pumpkin pancake is crumbly and dry!? Pumpkin is so moist. I really hope they get a new chef and hire more waitresses. Otherwise this store won't last. We had other guests asking us if they should wait on our way out and we told them to turn around. No need to spend 45 minutes waiting to get a table for you not to get your food for another 45 minutes then the food is not good. read more

First Watch - Breakfast taco - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

See all

Went here for the first time last week and was completely amazed but not only the breakfast meal I had but the staff as wel!

We frequent first watch off hull-street. They are usually busy on weekends but will always be a quick and well-worth wait. Service is always great and the food is delicious. read more

Have to give it 2 stars only for the menu we have given this location a fair chance I feel 3 separate visits and all 3 had same issues from the wait staff taking drink orders and then disappeared for over 15 minutes on the average to order eggs over hard and they arrive 2 out of 3 visits running all over the plate it's almost like they thought is would be funny to my plate of food and arrive 11 minutes I did time it on 3 rd visit because of prior issue then my wife got her door and eggs were so cold she ate the greens and we left do not intend to return read more

This place is seriously my favorite! The food is amazing, there is something on the menu for everyone. I don't eat eggs, so good breakfast places are hard to find, and first watch has so many tasty options. The service is great and the coffee is always so good! We always get in line on the app before arriving so we don't have to wait there a long time. Definitely recommend first watch to everyone! read more

Great breakfast place. Hard to get into in the weekends but worth the wait. Very unusual and unique dishes. The street tacos are awesome and the multigrain pancakes with warm maple syrup were delicious! My fave breakfast spot in Midlothian. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go!! Every time me and my girlfriend go there it's such a good time. The staff is always friendly, the food is always good. Its always nice to walk into a place a feel a positive vibe that radiates from the staff. Not to mention the management is always on point Kali always makes it a point to stop by and speak with us. Five stars from me. We will continue to come back!!!! read more

DOPE!!! Hold dem Gutenberg presses! I went on a flavortown experience here (shoutout to Guy Fieri). The BLT benedict was so good, it made me totally forget that it is a dish that shares its name with the traitor Benedict Arnold. And the potatoes??? It was like putting little baby clouds in my mouth they were so perfectly cooked. The greens were so fresh that they should be crowned the Prince of Bel Air. The million dollar bacon made me want to get a divorce and marry this restaurant. And don't even get me started on the wait staff!!! So friendly, I was sure they lived in Mr Rogers neighborhood. I wish I could go here everyday! If you loved The Egg and I, they have the same cooks. Tou know, the ones that fell from heaven and landed on a soft landing pad of whole grain pancakes the size of my head. GO HERE!!! read more

Went here this morning. We were a family of 5 adults, 1 child and 1 baby. The waitress was excellent and super fast. The food was delicious. We absolutely loved everything about it. I am looking forward to going back and I am not even big into going out to eat for breakfast. I am into healthy but tasty good. This place is great! read more

Checked this place out while in town for a few weeks. Ended up being my go to place. Good food, good service, especially with Jordan and Alissa. Highly recommend read more

I love coming to this new location! Consistently fast, fresh, and friendly! I ordered the Chickichanga and it was great and the seasoned potatoes were perfectly cooked! read more

This place is such a nice breakfast joint. I go here with my hubby all the time! He can't get enough of the seasoned potatoes. I highly recommend this place. read more

Had a wonderful first meal at the new First Watch on Hull Street recently. Despite the long wait (because their popularity makes for a long wait sometimes), it is well worth it and the range of options are great to appease a wide audience. The decor and atmosphere is nice and upscale feeling. Our server, Lydia, was awesome as well. My only suggestion: we would like some sound-dampening installed throughout because the 'open concept' can get quite loud! Highly recommend, however. Decent prices and a great breakfast and brunch/lunch choice. Both our meals were quite good and we enjoyed the fresh ingredients. When they first opened they had some kinks to work out, but I think it's pretty smooth running now. The staff are friendly and food is always good. Go check them out. Can't wait to see how it grows and gets better. Will be going back. read more

Food was very tasty and a good portion size. I was seated immediately and my server (Theresa) was attentive and efficient.
