I want to really like this place, great vibe, just not a lot of vegetation, vegan options, or gf options. It was so loud in there too, hard to talk to the person right across from me. Service was great! read more

Exceptional varied menu. Food arrives in short amount of time. Servers are superior in customer service. Venue including restrooms very clean. Will return to try other menu options. read more

One of the best, healthiest, and innovative places around to get breakfast. We like it, that you can get greens as aside or potatoes. The service is always good and the staff is friendly. read more

This restaurant opened a while ago but I waited until the wait wasn't so long. Fresh food, innovative recipes with ingredients you might not think to put together but they work. If you are looking for healthy, fresh food served with a smile I highly recommend First Watch. read more

Every time my wife and I get to First Watch for a hearty, healthy breakfast we are very pleased with the service, the food, and the cleanliness of this restaurant. The bread is awesome! I truly enjoy the Floridian French Toast! The servers may seem very busy but it's only because the food is so good and people are eating there frequently! read more

Had a great experience at First Watch. We had a large party of 8 on a busy morning. Highly recommend checking in via the online waitlist. We arrived within the provided window and waited less than 5 minutes before being shown to a table. Cece was our server and she handled our large party with ease and was friendly and funny. All our food came out together and was delish! Highly recommend! read more

Amazing food and good service! Great diverse menu. Try the million dollar bacon and lemon ricotta pancakes!

It doesn't matter how good the food is, this place got 10 violations on their inspection. That's crazy...

Healthy foods it's different. Service was okay and decor was nice, restaurant was clean

First Watch is a newer brunch spot located right off 309 in Montgomeryville. This location is fairly busy but the wait moves quickly. There is an option to check in online and I would highly recommend doing that! My group of three were seated fairly quickly at a nice table located close by to floor to ceiling windows. We were quickly served large cups of hot coffee and were given pots to refill our own cups when needed. Food was ordered and served quickly and were just as expected! I would absolutely recommend this location for your next brunch. read more

We walked in to the restaurant, dressed as casually as many customers. The staff turned us away and asked us to come back another day - as this is opening day and only those who made reservations are allowed to eat. Half the restaurant was still empty when they turned us away. read more

We were greeted at the door by a gentleman holding the door open for us. Everyone said good morning. Decor is great. Seemed like a chil, calm place. Leah was our waitress she was wonderful. Very helpful helping us decide what to get. The Belgian waffle was amazing. It was like eating a churro! We also had the Avacado Toast. They didn't scimp on the avacado! Coffee was perfect and hot. And you get your own pot of coffee for the table. This restaurant is good if you want a little more upscale and adventurous ingredients rather than your basic breakfast. They have specialty juices. And also serve lunch. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania

Wait times are horrible. 50 minutes to get food. Not hot. Overpriced eggs. Won't go back.

I was there today for the first time. I had lunch and my friend had breakfast. The food was very good and the prices were very reasonable. Our waitstaff Raven and Jeremy were very friendly and attentive. We will be back again soon. read more

This was my first time to a First Watch. I was psyched for the experience boy was I disappointed. First the wait was actually not bad but then again it was 1 PM in the afternoon and 1/2 the restaurant was empty so I guess there shouldn't have been too much of a wait. We get guided to our table and the the table was disgusting. The host that brought us there did immediately told us to hold on and ran to get a cloth to clean the table. Then we sit down and start looking at the menu our waitress shows up literally a minute later and was like are you ready to order. I was like NO I just sat down ordered a coffee my friend wanted to order the speciality coffee however, they said that we couldn't have it because they had no milk. What brunch place doesn't have milk? they couldn't send a person next door to BJ's to get milk? We put in an order for an appetizer and the appetizer shows up but there are no small plates and the runner that dropped off our food ran away and we couldn't get her attention. So we finish the appetizer a la Lady and the Tramp where the two of us are eating off the same plate. and our food comes out. We get our food but they don't clear the empty plate serious????? Couldn't see our waitress to save our life finally she came over and took the plate away. I guess also I must not have been out to eat in a LONG time as I feel like there was no asking of if we needed more coffee more creamers, refills on my friend's drink which was empty..... Then the check comes and we are told that we can either pay up front or scan the QR code. I know that contactless payment is the way to go but it honestly leaves a bad taste in my mouth the lack of service that was First Watch. read more

All great food was great service was even better Jill our sever made us feel right at home. Spacious and clean with an outdoor area as well.

This place hasn't been open long and I was craving a soup/sandwich today and thought I'd give it a try. If you want to buy an overpriced sandwich do yourself a favor and drive across the street to Panera, they're exponentially better. When I came in and asked to place a carry out order the host seemed confused and muttered something under his breath and walked away. I helped myself to a menu and a couple minutes later a server came over to take my order. Bread was pretty destroyed on my sandwich, bacon was burnt, one half of the sandwich didn't have avocado and the lettuce was brown in spots. Broccoli cheese soup was inedible because it was so salty. I don't expect this place will be open very long. There's just too many better choices in the area. read more

I had the most incredible breakfast on Thursday 1/12/2023 at the new restaurant. First Watch .My wife had the French toast with the million dollar bacon and home fries. I had the AM superfood bowl which was amazing it had fresh fruit with chia pudding and 2 slices of multi grain bread with almond butter with a dash of sea salt. read more

Excellent but small portions. Service is optimal as long as its not overly busy. Great location and very relaxing. Good noise reduction.

Oh no!!!! Great location and tasty food. However they are still working out the kinks for seating people fairly and efficiently during busy times - we showed up with a party of 6, with our name already on the waitlist, checked in, and then watched while 3 other parties of 5to 6 people who arrived AFTER us, were seated! Busy-ness is not an excuse for poor front-of-house protocol. Manager Mike and team responded well when we voiced our complaint. Hope this First Watch gets front staff well-trained soon or people will learn not to come here. read more

It was an expensive disappointment! Ordered the Farmhouse Hash with scrambled eggs. What I received was some eggs that were cracked on the griddle with the yolks broken...causing bits of cooked yolk and white separated. This affects the taste dramatically. It was a huge turn-off, and I couldn't eat the eggs. The rest of the hash was nothing special at all, some overcooked tomato and undercooked onions, bacon, and brown avocado. The toast wasn't toasted... nothing was seasoned at all, so it was bland enough to be served as at a nursing home. Orange juice was bitter, mostly orange peel flavor. Customer service emailed me to say someone from their leadership would contact me, but that has never happened. They don't care about their customers! read more

My family visited for Sunday brunch. We were seated fairly quickly. There was a long delay in being waited on. The food was enjoyed by all. The seasonal gingerbread donut holes were a sweet beginning. They were accommodating with a request to substitute a fried egg for scrambled on their BLT. We were appreciative. It is very loud and we did find that frustrating for table conversation. read more

First, I want to say I was so excited to see this place open up in my area, however after making two attempts, sadly this first watch is just not up to par with other ones that I'm used to going for breakfast and brunch. First time we visited this location was in January soon after grand opening, Boy it was a mess!!! I got ourselves on a waitlist online it said 45min-an hour wait. We got there about an hour from the time it started. When reached First Watch we were greeted by a rude person. Who may have just having a bad day! Anyhow, they told us the wait was another hour, I told the lady we were in a waitlist for an hour already, she said it doesn't matter and online waitlist doesn't count. Ok. We waited another 20 minutes, now they are taking people who came after us.? I proceeded to ask the person In charge name Elan what was going on. She was extremely rude to the customers telling people to back off.. and yelling at her coworker, it was just a shit show. Finally,we left and went to our regular place Turning point, where the online waitlist actually works. Just to give one more chance we made another attempt and again service very slow, the menu missing so many good items. It seems like they forget about you after a while. Our order was wrong. We ask for anything the answer is always "NO" we don't have it. For goodness sake. The First watch in willow grove I been going to for year never had an issue, chef is always able to whip something special upon request. I rather drive to willow grove then this one literally 7 minutes for where I Iive. Sadly, I have to say I won't be going there and would not recommend. read more

I have loved everything I've ordered so far. Great food with excellent service. Also very clean. read more

See all

My wife talked me into going back because it was Mother's Day. The food was much better this time it was actually hot and not cold like the last time. They really need to rethink their customer service. It is really awful, sat for 20 minutes before someone came over and after we gave our order that was regs last time we saw the waiter until they brought the check over. So in my mind two visits and they are 0 for 2. It also lacks the personality of many of the local diners, the place has zero charm. read more

Disappointed with recent visit, stopped in around 1:00 PM with family, waited 20 minutes for a waitress even though it wasn't crowded. Finally Dajah showed up, no offer of water, had to ask, and plastic cups were delivered, coffee ordered and no canister offered, and cheesy International Delight creamer packs. The wait for the food was even slower. Traditional breakfast just okay, eggs over medium very small, toasted potatoes were burnt, Pesto Bowl was flavorless. Very expensive food and poor service, better options nearby, they the Turning Point. read more

Great food and very friendly staff. Only 1 small complaint and nothing they can do there about it but prices seem way higher than they need to be. Worth it but not an every week thing. read more

Pretty good! I didn't love the menu options, but I'm also not really a breakfast person. Still, everything I did have was delicious and very well made. The staff were very nice despite it being extremely busy. Great place! read more

Second time here and they never disappoint me ...friendly and clean environment wooth every penny

Nice place, good service, good food. Pricey but quality. Will return. Just a bit noisy when full, built without acoustical considerations.

First time for a meal at First Watch and it was an enjoyable experience. Nicole our server was pleasant and attentive. After she brought out coffee and water she took our orders. The wife wanted the Trifecta and I ordered the Traditional. After what seemed like seconds our meal was brought out nice and hot. The waffle my wife received was an absolute delight. It was light and airy and with the surprise of warm sirup made the waffle a perfect 10. Her scrambled eggs were just as good with 2 strips of bacon. My Traditional was just as delicious with my eggs cooked correctly as I ordered 'over easy'. The hash browns well seasoned alongside 2 good sized pieces of sausage. Nicole checked on us several times and made us feel welcome in the restaurant. The space was nicely decorated and cleaned. The local 'diners' need to look out as you can't get a better breakfast. Great job read more

We love coming to this place. The prices are reasonable for the food and service offered.

Anthony m was our server and he was such a delight! Took great care of us and worked fast and efficiently. Definitely recommend first watch!

Breakfast was fair. Lacked flavor. Coffee was good. The portions were large. I would have preferred smaller portions with good flavor.

Used their app to reserve a place in line. It said 30 minute wait. When I got there 20 minutes later they said it would be at least another 30 minutes . Their app lies and the employees don't care. read more

Horrible service and management. Poor communication about wait time. We will try the one Abington and hope for a better experience.

Breakfast was excellent, facility very clean and our server, Mike, couldn't have been more efficient or kinder! Only suggestion would be a military discount. read more
