    Ok 3rd time with family! Have to make a comment on our server, Asia! What a delightful young lady. Friendly & attentive to our needs. Thank you for making our experience a joyful one...

    Steak and eggs no chimichurri
    Samantha P.

    I had the opportunity to try this spot and there was about a 15-20min wait. Afterwards, we were seated and immediately the waitress asked what we would like to drink. I tried the morning meditation and it was pretty good just too much ice. It was busy once a table clears up the next group comes to sit. I tried the chimichurri steak and eggs hash. It was good the waitress mentioned they didn't have chimichurri and the food wasn't extremely hot for something that just came out.

    Since First Watch was right in the same plaza where our run club was meeting for our morning 5K, it was an easy choice for our group to hit 'em up and quickly added ourselves to the waitlist before the rush rolled in around 10:30. Once seated, our server remained attentive and made sure our water and coffee cups stayed full. I've mentioned this before that First Watch has some of the BEST black coffee around. I didn't want a meal to myself, so my friend and I happily split the Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich. It was a perfect marriage of pork sausage patty savory and Mike's hot honey drizzled million dollar bacon sweet with egg, smoked gouda and arugula made it an ideal post-run meal alongside their potatoes. I have to admit I would have leaned on 3.5 stars because of one unnecessary hiccup at the beginning. Two of our friends were literally right in their car quickly throwing on t shirts over their run attire, and despite us pointing out that they were just steps from the door the manager remained very firm about refusing to seat us until they physically entered the building. I try to understand policies, but considering they were clearly right there and walking in momentarily, it felt unnecessarily rigid. Thankfully the friendly service and good meal made up for the awkward start.

    This place is like my go to when I can't determine what I want to eat. The variety of healthy yet still tasty options, quick service, large portions and decent pricing makes it a no brainer. Ask for Bryan if you want smooth service with a smile. He also has great recommendations. I typically sit inside because the heat in Miami can be a lot but you have the option to sit indoors or outside. The outside views are not the greatest.

    Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash
    John M.

    On our last day of vacation, we decided to stop by First Watch for breakfast. We've visited their locations in New Jersey and South Carolina before, but this was our first time at this specific spot. Knowing they tend to stay busy, we put ourselves on the digital waitlist before arriving; although the estimated wait was 20 minutes, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated within five minutes of getting there. The restaurant has a bright, modern, and inviting atmosphere that makes it a perfect place for a relaxed family meal. We started by ordering the Million Dollar Bacon for the table, which was a hit as always. For our main meals, I had the Chimichurri Steak Hash, my wife went with the Farmhouse Hash, my sister-in-law chose the Elevated Egg Sandwich, and my father-in-law ordered the Traditional Breakfast. Everything tasted great and maintained the high standard we expect from this brand. My father-in-law especially enjoyed his meal--he devoured the entire plate and looked like he could have gone back for seconds! It was a perfect way to wrap up our trip.

    First Watch - Miami Gardens delivers exactly what you want in a breakfast spot. First off, let's give credit where it's due: they carry Coke products. That's already a win in my book. Pair that with a cold glass of fresh orange juice that hits just right, and you're off to a solid start. I came in for the Million Dollar Bacon--because, let's be honest, how could you not? Perfectly sweet, smoky, and worth the hype. Rounded it out with the Eggs Benedict (potatoes on the side, because why not live a little), and everything came out hot, fresh, and on point. The service matched the food--friendly, attentive, and smooth from start to finish. You can tell the team here actually cares about getting things right. Ambiance is First Watch. It's like a kitchen table--life itself. If you're in Miami Gardens and need a proper breakfast or brunch spot, this location of First Watch deserves the stop.

    Service here has always been consistent! I love that during your birthday if you're part of the email newsletter you get a free entrees with the purchase of another. Like every year I get the lemon ricotta pancakes! Always fresh & always lemony!!!! The staff is friendly - we aren't weekly regulars but they always remember us! Until the next adventure!

    Quick stop for breakfast and it was just what I needed. This place gets busy very quickly. The food was pretty good and the service was bad.

    I had been to First Watch in Fort Myers so I was very excited to try a location closer to where I live. As always it did not disappoint! It was my friend's first time going to First Watch and they were all very impressed and enjoyed their dishes! Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, the service was great and the ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming and is a great Breakfast/Brunch spot! I will definitely be coming back! I'm very glad to see you are expanding and opening new locations!

    One of my all-time fave breakfast/brunch spots. Came here earlier today with a friend and they did not disappoint! Food: 10/10 Everything was so tasty and they came out fresh and hot. I had the smoked salmon frittata and the new summer strawberry tres leches french toast! That french toast is to die for. You should definitely try it. Service: 10/10 Our server was amazing. Super quick, efficient, attentive and even recommended food we should try. Glad to say he was right about the food! He checked on us multiple times throughout the experience and I loved it. Drinks: 9/10 I tried the spiked watermelon wake up. It was part of their summer menu. Soooo good. They make all of their juices fresh with premium fruit everyday. Decor & Ambiance: 7/10 It's your typical cafe/brunch spot. The artwork they have is pretty cute and colorful. However, they don't have decor like a moody restaurant or over the top aesthetic restaurant would, and that's ok! It's still warm, cozy, inviting and super clean. Overall, I love First Watch and I've been coming here for a few years now. They always exceed expectations and I love their food. Definitely coming back soon.

    Lemon ricotta pancake and million dollar bacon
    Jeane N.

    These lemon ricotta pancakes are worth talking about! So fluffy and huge portions. The lemon curd topping that they put on the pancake was a nice blend of citrus and sweet and I would recommend to anyone. Pro-tip, there is always a wait so use the Get In Line option online or in their app.

    Roast beef sandwich with tomato soup
    Melissa V.

    I enjoyed their chicken avocado salad. You can pick any of their salad half sized if you also get their soup. Soup of the day was vegetable soup. It was chunky and flavorful. Last time, I went for the tomato soup but it was too thick to my liking. The roast beef sandwich was decent, though! My kid couldn't finish his roast beef and havarti sandwich, but wanted pancake instead. That fluffy item appeared in pretty shorter time than expected and the kid finished that without stress. The sun dried/roasted tomatoes kept dripping out of the sandwich -- I took a bite of one of them, no shame lol. My sis and mom shared a plated of potatoes and some kind of egg omelet. This is my mom and sister's fave location. The parking lot is kind of confusing, but you can park with ease. It's also next to the Starbucks and in the shopping plaza shared with Publix and TJ Maxx. The atmosphere of this place was as expected -- not quiet and definitely crowded. You can enjoy some cocktails here but it's also very family family. John took care of us. The service was fast and pleasant.

Cons: First thing I did was use the restroom which had a horrible smell and the toilet needed cleaning. The service was good at first then fell off after we ordered our food- which was strange because it was not busy at all. We ordered the screwdriver & peach Bellini to drink. Steak & eggs and the Untoasted breakfast + side of ham. The screwdriver had an odd taste & the ham was extremely soft/squishy/seemed uncooked internally. The steak was not cooked well- but acceptable enough to eat. Our server never checked on us after we got our food which sucks because we needed a few things. A different server ended up walking by much later and asked if we needed help which is when I told her I'd like to send back the ham and screwdriver- both of which I barely took a bite/sip out of. I just told her I didn't like them and she got a bit of an attitude and wanted specifics as to why I didn't like it. I just reiterated i didn't like it and won't be consuming either so please take it back. We finished our food and no one ever came to our table again- while the workers were walking around helping the 5 other tables or talking amongst themselves. After sitting for 15+ minutes with our finished food, I just went to the front and waited for someone to check us out. I don't recommend this place and will not be back.

The bartender David was great at attending to us while we couldn't get our waitress attention. I would definitely come back here but I was a bit disappointed that no manager came over to acknowledge that there was a mix up in the kitchen or apologize for the extended wait when there were literally about 2 other tables occupied.
