    Greeted and sat right away. The place had a real nice ambiance. The food was very good, tasty, and plentiful. The amount of my greens made my sandwich look small, but I was ok with that. The drinks were nice and refreshing. My Kale drink wasn't as green looking as the picture on the menu, but tasty. Our waitress was just ok. Will definitely return to try other menu items

    I've been to first watch twice. The 1st was an ok experience but I wasn't wowed nor did I feel welcomed. I am one who gives 2nd chances and I went back. And the service was wayyyy better! The food was delicious and it was just a easy better experience overall! I had the Farmhouse skillet hash and it's was a great portion, great taste and it was recommended by my waitress. The restaurant is semi busy mid day i guess my fellow brunch lovers but no wait. They do close I believe at 3p but don't quote me. I definitely would go again especially when I'm feeling brunch. Enjoy!!

    Chikichanga

    Cute place with coffee and breakfast/lunch - has good Mexican style food - the chikichanga has a very unique but good taste

    I met up with a friend for breakfast at First Watch and we both enjoyed it! I really liked the goat cheese omelet which was a huge portion with the English muffin and potatoes. My friend enjoyed the eggs Benedict and we shared the lemon blueberry pancakes. We wished the pancakes were more lemony; they were good pancakes but pretty plain. Service was great and they didn't mind that we sat there for a while to chat!

    A.M. Superfoods Bowl with a side of bacon and The Traditional

    Coming back around for a second review. My husband and I frequent this place quite often. This is the "brunch spot" when pals sleep over or when we are having a lazy Sunday. Today especially was a truly kind and accommodating experience. We were a group of 8 and we were told a 30 minute wait. It ended up being more of 50 minutes. We didn't say anything about the wait, but the manager was very apologetic and let us get 3 sharing appetizers since we waited longer than what we were told. Totally unheard of these days with this type of service. The manager came around a few times to check in with us and our waiter was also super kind. The food is still just average, but it hits the spot and the service is so warm and kind. Gotta love First Watch.

    Chocolate chip pancakes and million dollar bacon
    Shane N.

    The food was pretty good but at the same time very eh. The bacon had a great taste to it but it wasn't even the slightest bit crispy so that was disappointing. The pancakes I got were good and they gave me more than enough syrup which was great. The service was good too, the staff is friendly so no complaints there. And the atmosphere was kind of like a an upscale diner.

    Tri-Fecta with carrot cake pancake

    Been to First Watch in other states so I was excited to bring my husband here. I was disappointed as the first two things I asked for they said they were out of and then after asking for the second item the waitress told us they were transitioning from their summer to fall menu. They would be better off letting people know they were out of things upon sitting down and pulling their advertisements off the tables that are promoting their summer items they no longer have. Food was good and fresh. However, I recommend getting the waffle over the pancakes. Inside promotes a farm to table ambiance.

    Chili Chorizo
    Grace Nicole C.

    Went on a Sunday morning and we were seated right away, the place is spacious even for the big crowds they get. I got their chili chorizo omelette, there wasn't a lot of chorizo in it and it wasn't spicy - the flavor was nice and the caramelized onions were tasty even as a non-fan of onions. Their coffee was pretty average diner quality. The service was great, our waitress was very attentive and kept checking in on us to make sure we were okay. Overall an okay place.

    I really enjoy First Watch! The ambiance is awesome and the servers are so friendly. The food is also top notch. I've never ordered anything I didn't enjoy there. They have so many coffee drinks, fresh juices, and healthy smoothies. Lots of healthy food options! The donut holes are a classic go-to of ours. I'm excited for the summer so I can bring my pup and sit on their patio!

    Brunch

    Great service, it was busy when we got in. Had to wait 30 mins for a table (which they mentioned ahead of time). We were seated, and waited on immediately. The food came out really quick as well.

    This place was so good. I was in the area with my family and stopped here for breakfast. I'm very glad we ended up here. I ordered the breakfast bowl with hash browns, eggs and avocado. It was yummy and was a large portion that I couldn't finish. I also had the coffee. This was the first place I've ever been where they leave a pot of fresh, hot coffee on your table. I loved this! If I ended up back in this area, I'd definitely stop back in. I highly recommend FW!

    Sunny Seoul Hash
    Kristin F.

    Love this place for brunch! Been here three times so far and definitely love the atmosphere and the food! Loved the Sunny Seoul Hash, a breakfast special! One other time, I had their eggs Benedict and that was so good as well! Was not a fan of the omelets though. Service can be slow, seems like they are understaffed sometimes or not expecting crowds on holidays. When I visited last week on Veterans day/teacher's convention, I think they weren't ready for the crowd of families since kids didn't have school and parents were probably off. Many tables weren't cleaned off yet and there was a line. I'd come back here! Like a change from the traditional diners.

    Steph S.

    I'd give this place 3.5 stars. Seems like a good reliable spot. Servers and hosts were friendly on a busy Saturday. We were a large party and only really waited 15-20 minutes for a table. Menu is smaller and more healthier than like a diner. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I found my dish to be average- nothing super special about it. Clean inside and newer. Some outdoor seating as well. I'd probably try a new place before coming back but it got the job done for our group after an event.

The sauce was just thick enough, and had a great flavor for the steak and potatoes. The asparagus was cooked well too! No complaints at all.

Despite this, the manager refused to provide our party with the brunch menu and insisted we order from the regular menu, even after we politely requested otherwise. It later became clear that this decision was based on the size of our party rather than an actual menu policy. The manager repeatedly claimed that brunch ended earlier than what was printed on the menu, which was confusing and inconsistent. After unnecessary back and forth, the chef ultimately approved our ability to order from the brunch menu, confirming that this was not a kitchen issue. This was especially disappointing as we were celebrating my son's birthday, and what should have been a pleasant occasion was unnecessarily stressful. The manager's approach was unprofessional, dismissive, and confrontational. In contrast, our waiter was excellent. He was attentive, courteous, and did everything possible to make the experience positive despite the circumstances. Honoring published menu times and treating guests with respect are basic service expectations. Unfortunately, poor management overshadowed what could have otherwise been an enjoyable celebration.
