Good food, but service always seems a little chaotic. Getting a table is slow because there is rarely anyone at the host stand, and the staff in the dining room seems happy to just let you just stand there. If you flag down a server to help you get seated they seem to be a little put out with a "that's not their job" kind of attitude. I have been many times and this has been the case about 90% of the time. Wish there was a better breakfast option in Green Hills. read more

The music is too loud. This is my only complaint, because the food and service are good. Our men's group meets on the outside patio first thing in the morning once a week. Today we couldn't hear ourselves above the very loud music. We asked if it could be turned down, and we were told that corporate controls the noise level. We are considering taking our group (4 to 10 men once a week) to another venue. Honestly, the dining room is so loud anyway. This is a place for meaningful breakfast meetings. More noise hurts the customer experience. read more

Not worth the price for our food to come out like this, it was a togo order do better please! I wish i could ask for a refund could not finish it read more

First Watch - Piece of plastic found in my food. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Food was good, but service, wait time for food and service along with the condition of the restaurant was terrible. food all over floor, etc. couldn't even get a box, asked for one but decided to leave after waiting 10 mins for a box. Would not recommend this location. We love first watch, but this location does not compare to others. read more

Just the worst service! If you want to watch the servers talk amongst themselves come and come on in here.

Great brunch place. Been there three times and had biscuits and gravy all three times because it is so good. Few of my brunch partners have had other dishes and in general were complementary. Conveniently located in the new strip mall around Wegmans. read more

first servers are good people, cooks not so sure. this is the 2nd time out of 4 that they forgot main ingredient . 1st time they forgot the egg on the sandwich and today ordered shishito brisket hash breakfast and actually forgot the meat and the pickled onions. There are no excuse to forgot main ingredient of what makes the dish. Horrible. I think I give up trying again read more

For our server Katie she deserves 5 stars how she handles herself during a busy Saturday brunch rush and handling issue that happened on this visit. My food was allegedly accidentally given away to a different table so I had to wait awhile to get my food to be made on the fly even though most of the people at my table were already close to finishing their food . Katie was extremely apologetic that my food arriving way later than everyone else and she had the manager comp the meal bring meal herself. Now this comment is the main reason I'm writing the review she came to the table and uttered the comment "here you go not sure what was wrong with the first plate but here is a new one" assuming I sent the meal back because I wasn't satisfied with the meal(not even really communicating with Katie understanding why my meal was comped BECAUSE my plate was not given to me until that point ) so I thought the comment was rude and unprofessional for a manager say especially if she is the one supposed to be fixing the issue. My friend and I both got eggs Benedict and if you like runny eggs Benedict don't order them here I did want to send them back but we were in a time crunch. I asked Katie if this location usually fully cooked the poached eggs (I hate the taste of boiled yoks) she said yes that it's only the sauce is runny.... Since we were in a time crunch my friend and I didn't send the eggs back and just ate the egg whites (since my meal was comped didn't feel like it was necessary to to press the issue further). From now on if I go to other first watch locations I guess I need to ask if the egg yoks are runny before ordering ‍ read more

Were lucky to be seated quickly as shortly after the place really filled up. Initially the server was quite attentive getting coffee and water for us quickly. We were with another couple - our food ended up up coming out in a timely manner . Portions are large - my husband and I decided almost too large and next time we will split. I ordered the farm breakfast with goat cheese - poached eggs added. No complaints and it was quite tasty and enjoyable. Our friends' order had some difficulties- it didn't come out for quite some time - not correct and it took a bit of time to get it straightened out. They just seemed a bit short staffed? Loved the coffee and fresh fruit although the honey dew melon was rock hard, all the rest was fresh and yummy. read more

The food has always been on point, but the service is incredibly slow. Tried ordering takeout to see if that helped. Got faster food service, but not how we ordered it and with a rude host to boot. Oh well we tried. read more

Swing and a miss. We were treated with disdain by the overwhelmed hostess, and it took over 30 minutes to get our food after ordering. Our server was lovely. The food was not. My sister's omelet came with a disgusting brown slice of avocado. My quinoa chicken thing was a monstrosity of gloopy, soupy undercooked crunchy quinoa on a slimy broth with a lackluster pesto sauce slathered on top to hide the atrocity. The manager kindly did not charge me for the pesto that I could not and would not eat. He deducted 20% from the price of my sister's dish to account for the rotten produce. Amazed that he felt it was reasonable to charge a cent for our meal. Try the perch Nextdoor instead. read more

Disorganized, lack or coordination, and poor customer service. Waitresses were more interested in standing around and talking vs. helping customers. We waited 40 minutes to be seated, another 15 minutes before being acknowledged, and another 10 minutes before we were able to order. There is no sense of urgency with this Saturday staff. read more

Such a wide variety of healthy and savory breakfast choices. We loved the outdoor dining. They have big heaters, perfect for a cool day. We had the steel cut oats & a Turkey omelette. The service & food was fantastic! read more

Husband and i had lunch and each had a juice drink, different ones. One hour later we each had diarrhea. If juice is not freshly made or kept cold, we feel bacteria are likely cause for diarrhea. Not sure will return.- Susan read more

My business partner and I have been going to the First Watch on Riverside Ave, Jacksonville Fl. for about 2 years now. We go every Friday for a Bloody Mary breakfast. The food is usually good and the wait-staff very friendly. In the past couple of months your Waite-staff have been friendly, as usual but there hasn't been enough wait-staff to serve the customers in the morning for breakfast. To wait 15 minutes before being asked what we want to drink. For your menu items to average 15.00 for breakfast, I expect to be served properly and timely. We also bring back "To Go" breakfasts for employees. I'm I wrong to expect stellar service from your restaurant when I spend an average of 100.00 for breakfast? We are presently looking for a change of Friday Bloody Mary Breakfast's venue. How about hiring some help? Peter Oliver read more

Really good brunch spot (although the kitchen can be a little slow). This location (Green Hills) has some alcohol & beer on deck, although I'm not sure if it's a full bar (I haven't seen these options at other First Watch location). The food is always fresh, the service is quick & they're open on many holidays! PS - they have cinnamon toast cereal milk (not sure if it comes in non-dairy form). read more

This was over first time here. We both ordered Eggs Benedict-0ne was the Traditional one and the other with Bacon. They were very disappointing... ...when served they were cold and the bread underneath was not toasted We sent them both back --the kitchen apparently put them in a microwave. As a result the eggs were no longer poached, but hard cooked . The ham in the traditional one was cold deli sliced ham--Eggs Benedict are traditionally made with Taylor Ham!! The bacon in the one was ok. Thé hollandaise sauce was nice. The potatoes were fine. The server was friendly and attentive. PS: in my opinion, when we sent back the Eggs Benedict, the kitchen should have started all over again. read more

Nice brunch on Sundays. Love the new watermelon drink!

I will say the food was good... when it finally came out. We got there at 10:25 waited 20 minutes to be seated. Then it took another 20 minutes before a waitress came to take our drink order. So we placed our food order at the same time. We have a baby so we thought that would speed it up. Wrong! It took over an hour for the food to come out. They got my order wrong and had to remake it. In the time we waited we accidentally spilled a drink. 2 waitresses saw this and said they would bring napkins but didn't. We had to go find our own stuff to clean it up. We will not return. It shouldn't take over an hour to make two turkey sandwiches, an omelette and breakfast tacos! It was not crazy busy either. read more

I love the diversity of the menu! They definitely have options that you won't find at your normal breakfast spot. Food was pretty good, we both got the farmhouse skillet. Our waitress was so kind to get us to go cups of coffee for no extra charge!! I also love the farmhouse decor inside the restaurant. read more

we decided to try first watch because the menu looked healthy and delicious. But the execution left much to be desired. Leaves in salad wilted and very much part prime. Eggs in eggs Benedict with hard yolks. Coffee bitter. Not very tasty overall. Service was quick and pleasant. read more

Was against going as this is a small chain but was so happy I did!! Lovely server women at the bar. Fast service. Very accommodating. Salmon Benedict . Their version of "juevos rancheros" was yummy. In a strip mall. Cute inside and clean. You won't be disappointed. Their fresh juices with ginger beets etc are great. read more

My family and I went on vacation to Nashville, and so far this has been the BEST food I have eaten! I got Steel Cut Oatmeal I think, and it was amazing!! All of the fruit, and walnuts, and the brown sugar on the side. It just tasted really good. The rest of my family finished all of their food also, and said it was very filling. My step-dad said he would pay the money for a meal like that again. Our service was incredible, and our wait was less then five minutes. We got our food almost ten minutes after sitting down. The menu was given to us while we waited, so we knew what we wanted. Our waitress, though I didn't catch her name, was so nice and patient. read more

First Watch - This was my meal. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I've visited this business in multiple cities and there food and hospitality never wavers in quality. Their shrimp and grits are the best!

My BLT eggs Benedict came out looking as if someone had already taken a few bites. One poached egg was undercooked and watery, it broke when I moved my plate. The other was over cooked and looked like half a scrambled egg (there was no yolk..). Not sure if there was hollandaise sauce on it and the avocado was barely there? No dressing on the side salad which made it inedible. I honestly can't believe they let it out of the kitchen. Kitchen timing was completely off, we had one person's meal sitting at the table for 5 minutes before everyone else's food came. Then the food haphazardly arrived and they FORGOT one of the plates we ordered, leaving one of our group sitting hungry for way too long before the waitress even came over who then informed us that they ran out of grits....? At a breakfast/brunch place? And forgot the kids side order. What????? Then we waited in line for twenty minutes to pay our check for our mediocre food, and we had to make changes to one of our checks and the cashier had to make a refund back to one of our credit cards. Wowwowow. Worst experience I've had in a while. Should have gone to Waffle House. read more

Omg! I can't get over how good this was, so much so we went twice the weekend we were in Nashville. They don't have First Watch where I live. The green juice is delicious and only $5 where at other juice bars it would be $12. Everything we had was delicious!! I loved the fall breakfast burrito. read more

Very good food. Service was pretty good. Wonderful concept putting lemon curd on pancakes! Delicious! I had a side of bacon. It was thick cut and good, but if I were to go again I'd have them hold the maple syrup that makes it messy to eat. read more

Came for a quick lunch bite. Got the avocado toast, green juice and the millionaire bacon. Everything was cooked well and tasted great. Food came fairly quickly and the servers were prompt and friendly. Overall a great experience. I'd go back read more

I came here with my brother for lunch he got the Monterrey sandwich with potatoes, he LOVED the potatoes btw. I got the avocado toast which had way more avocado than I expected, which is good, and scrambled eggs. The food was delicious but the scrambled eggs where too salty my liking and only one of the waitresses was like really social the other worker were more socially awkward idk, they did took a bit longer than I expected to bring our food, and they charged almost $4 for coke?it was too much in my opinion.But overall pretty it was really good would recommend :) read more

I don't have one bad thing to say on my first visit. Friendly server, not crowded, loved my food and coffee was good. Had the BLT eggs Benedict. It was wonderful, not drenched in Hollandaise, but a nice lemony arugula, perfect egg, crisp bacon and delicious toasted bread. They have calories listed on menu, which is helpful, as well. This is a great kept secret in Green Hills! Will be back! read more

Service and food for party of three was fairly good. My friend wanted to pay the bill so he gave the waitress his credit card right after we ordered. She asked how much tip he wanted to leave which not only put him on the spot but it didn't even make sense since a tip is supposed to be a reward for good food and service and we had yet to receive either one. Not likely to return. read more

The atmosphere was less than pleasant. The entire meal we had someone's rear in our face. Either sitting on the windowsill outside where we were seated, or spilling into the dining area. I ordered a breakfast with eggs, bacon, hash row s and toast. Ironically the only warm thing on the plate was the toast. The person that I took to breakfast had a better meal. I also ordered the lemon pancakes. We had a large group last week at a different First Watch and they were delicious. We ordered them for dessert. Your were not light and fluffy and the bottom one was burned black on the bottom. Might has asked for a remake of the waitress had returned. Second bad experience at this restaurant. read more

The presentation of the food was amazing! The atmosphere and decor was even better, but the food experience wasn't totally amazing. Yes, you will get a decent meal here but I think I was looking for more flavor and spice in my food & I didn't get it. I do appreciate that they have turkey sausage, unlike most places in Nashville. I would definitely give it another try. read more

I went here with my mother after one of her appointments and the food was pretty good. The soup was especially delicious. It was also a really nice day to sit outside and the outside area is really comfy. I'm also pretty sure there was someone who is well known in the rock industry sitting nearby but I couldn't tell because it's rude to stare down someone when they are eating. read more

Can't say enough about this place. Probably my fave place to eat in Nashville now! Beautiful atmosphere with an amazing patio area. The food was amazing, and came out so fast (even on a busy Sunday). I HIGHLY recommend the breakfast tacos. Amazing. I can't wait to come back here. Staff is super friendly too! read more

Ordered online and they canceled the order. Average menu and the service is not good. I would not waste my time

One of my favorite places to go for brunch. On Saturday and Sunday there is usually at least a 20 minute wait. Everything I have had here has been awesome. Highly recommend the cinnamon winter pancake and their eggs Benedict is good too. read more

My husband and I eat out a lot. I have never written a yelp review, but this restaurant was SO incredibly bad I thought I should warn others... We both ordered the Eggs Benedict. My husband got the Classic, I ordered it with smoked salmon. The poached eggs were grossly undercooked, room temperature at best. I have ordered Eggs Benedict a lot and this was definitely the worst I have ever had. The hollandaise sauce was poor also. But the eggs were so undercooked they barely held together. Will not return. We visited the Green Hills/Richard Jones Rd. location. The worst breakfast we have ever had! Paid $35.00 for that! read more
