My boyfriend and I have recently made this place our go to brunch spot. They never have a wait. Great fast and friendly service. The food is fresh and cooked well and the price is completely doable. If I had to pick a least favorite thing about this spot is the fact that some tables are very close to each other so you feel like you are sitting with strangers a little bit but if you specifically ask for a big table they will definitely do it for you. read more

Place is great. Enjoyed the pancakes, eggs, wraps, etc. It's all good and they are super nice.

Good quality food, mediocre pricing, chill environment, with friendly wait staff. Smoked salmon Benedict was a tad overly salted, while the rainbow toast was amazing! read more

Arrived at the restaurant at 8:00 am sat outside. Waited fifty minutes without a server showing up. Decided to leave :(.

AVOID. We waited 30 minutes in the line and then 1 hr waiting for food. Guess what? No food. We just could not wait longer and left. People are annoyed waiting and line and no move. If you can not handle the number of customers you MUST hire more employees! read more

The food is great! We come here as often as possible. Always fresh ingredients and seasonal menu options that are exciting to try! I've had practically every dish and recommend all of them. Service is quick, unless you're crazy and try to sit Sunday morning between 10-12.... they're really busy. Besides the weekend obviously, they sit and wait on you right away. read more

Had a wonderful breakfast. I had the Steelcut Oats bowl with two fresh cooked scrambled eggs. The French toast was delicious and was covered with bananas and strawberries. The coffee reminds me of my travels to Colombia, SA. Went back and had lunch!! Highly recommended the Chicken Avocado Salad as well!! read more

The food was great except French Toast, their French toast isn't a French toast, this is a bread with a jam on it, thats it! I tried giving a review abt it to the server and she misstaken my review and l was treated as if l ve done something wrong, its a simple suggestion, l had an elevated egg which was great and my wife had the turkey sandwich which we have no complain abt but they have to review their french toast recipe! read more

Normally have good experiences with this location. My biggest complaint is ordering a side of sliced avocado for over $2 and that was the size of the portion. read more

First Watch - Market Hash and Side of sliced Avocado - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North Miami Beach, Florida

Be aware if you come here on a busy Saturday or Sunday for brunch, the tattooed kid with a bowl cut (named Steven) likes to pick and choose who deserves to get seated first. He gave us a 35-45 minute wait time. At around 40 minutes, a table of three girls showed up and were given a 1 hour wait. They complained about the wait time and were offered an open table on the patio and seated immediately. The outside table was never offered to us or to anyone other group who had been there for up to an hour wait. We immediately talked to him about it, and he was dismissive and disrespectful. We spoke to a manager and were told that we would be the next table seated, but after the manager went back to the kitchen Steven chose to continue to seat other tables ahead of us. And it wasn't just us! Another person who checked in around the time we did was told, after waiting for 45 minutes, that his name wasn't even on the list. The amount of arrogance and disrespect this kid shows to customers who are simply bringing up these discrepancies to him is mind-blowing. As someone who worked in the service industry, this is not someone I would keep employed at my establishment. He simply does not care about his job or the customers that he's supposed to be taking care of, he'd rather flip his hair and turn the other way. read more

Visited this location at around 10am and not busy at all! Most definitely because it was a Wednesday and not a weekend day but service was fast. Our server was friendly and helpful when it came to ordering (Erin). I ordered the market hash which came with 2 slices of toast that were buttered, a small side of jam, and a small side of fruit. The hash was pretty filling and plentiful. They do not play with portions, with any part of your dish. And the food was hot! I may have to emphasize this but most places that serve eggs don't get to you in time for the eggs to actually be hot for you to enjoy, and I know it may sound a little crazy but they did a great job! read more

It's always something with this location!! If it's not service taking long, it's wrong food!! Let's not talk about the wait time!! Crazy when u wait an 45+ mins for food and then get home and it's wrong or not eatable!! This location almost made me stop eating them all together.. read more

Came here with my daughter. It was busy and there was a 20 minute wait, but that's expected on a Sunday. I ordered a morning meditation juice, which was healthy and refreshing. It had orange, beets, ginger, and some other fruit. I ordered the Parma skillet, which consisted of potatoes, Italian sausage, red peppers, eggs, etc....soooooooo good and fresh Now... My waitress seemed very stress and overworked. She wasn't attentive, couldn't find her, she was gone with the wind, lol. Besides that, the food was above average for me. read more

Yes, I know, the name is odd and it sounds and looks more like a place that sells watches and sunglasses...but they actually sell food, breakfast, brunch and lunch here. You should know by now that Tha Yelp Daddy is all about the complete experience and it is within my moral code of dinning experience ethics that allow me to always keep it 100 (100%) with you. So that being said...my overall experience here is good. However, after coming here few times, you will start to realize that the food here is just "OKAY" at best...Not amazing but just okay. The service-is so, so...some days the staff is friendlier than other days. The food-healthy and creative. The decor-warm and inviting. The prices-Not worth the taste but maybe worth your diet! The parking-kinda tricky because the parking and entrance are in the back but it looks like it should be in the front. **Note: If you are dating a health "NUT," then this is a good place to take them for a brunch date. So, check it out...I ordered the Tri-Fecta, CINNAMON CHIP PANCAKE BREAKFAST and the BLTE...which were all cool but not amazing nor something that I would order again. Nice...but not worth being a regular. read more

It was my first time at this chain on a Monday for Brunch. I was very impressed with the menu - it was so hard to pick just one thing! Ultimately I went with the salmon eggs benedict with the side of potatoes which was a solid choice. Serving sizes are large and filling. We also decided to try the Million Dollar Bacon - think thick cut bacon drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkled with chives. They were actually pretty good, but if you're not into sweet and salty foods, this probably isn't for you. The sweet and salty food lover in me was definitely satisfied with this side. I would say that the coffee selection could be a bit better. Regardless, I ordered the iced coffee which was creamy and sweet (but not overly sweet). Finally, what I'm really happy with is the social distancing of tables. Despite COVID restrictions being lifted, the tables are still nicely spaced out so that I can comfortably eat my food without worrying about spreading disease. read more

This is a great eatery that offers many fresh and organic options. The menu hosts cuisine selections for almost anyone-- from vegans to carnivores. The interior is very cute! It's modern, chic, and has an at home feel accompanied to it. I love that on each table, they have flowers! It's a nice touch and for someone who loves the small details...I enjoy it. Now, the food is typically tasty; the portion sizes are not bad! Note that the price for some items can be over $10 but they *do* offer a lunch menu where you can get limited but cheaper food items. For breakfast, I usually order the Trifecta with the turkey sausage link or the Belgian waffle. For lunch, I frequently order the roast beef and Havarti sandwich. I highly recommend these options if you're looking for something to try! I've visited this restaurant a plethora of times times and have had a great experience each time! Although, be warned they are *extremely popular* and tend to be packed. The last time I visited, I discovered that they implemented a new waiting list system which helps with the long lines and wait times customers may endure. Overall, this restaurant gets a two thumbs up from me! First Watch see you very soon! read more

Food was good and so was the service, a place your glad to go and just eat. People are friendly and price is reasonable

The food amazing. The servers amazing. The manager... If a restaurant is not properly managed the price is paid by the server. 2 hrs for breakfast so far... yup! Current status: hangry They are currently SLAMMED!! yet there are tables missing. This tells me that they must be slammed with online orders. When businesses have patrons in person they should respect their time. At some point the manager or whoever has that authority should shut off the ability to make online orders. This is ridiculous I have a million things to get to today and wish I had made my order online so I can finish my laundry.... My conclusions in hangry and the only person that showing face is my waitress. Poor business management!!!! I'm here for breakfast, appropriately executed as not having to find myself thinking about why it is not... if you are a consumer of this place (or a server) you are not the priority here. Shame First Watch. read more

Our First Watch experience took us by surprise to say the least. We woke up on a Labor Day morning thinking of what new and fresh to try for a brunch or lunch meal, and so found out there actually was a franchise in our area. Wow, I was taken by surprise as I had been to another location in broward country when at a previous employer years ago. Well, things have had an update and upgrade since. Although the same down home comfort style atmosphere and menu exists, it has had some healthier additions which threw me a little, though very much welcomed. But I digress, the experience starts well before the menu. There is ample parking, a clean and nice outside seats area, and a friendly hostess station. Once you place your name on the list, they will text you with updated and your spot inline, so yo may either enjoy a fresh cup of coffee while you wait, or walk around the sky lake strip mall and come back once your table is ready. Awesome idea. All restaurants should learn from this. Once you do sit down, you will have a huge carafe of water and coffee cups, should you wish to indulge. The menu is simple but elegant. The options and combinations for either breakfast or lunch are vast, and the entrees are all worthy of the modest price tags. I had a two for you meal deal with a half kale and chicken and nuts salad and also a half veggie sandwich with basil pesto sauce on a super fresh multigrain bread. My wife had a roast beef half sandwich with a salad as well and said it was fantastic, as did I once we were satisfied. I had my own pot of hot coffee always a the table for my liking, and a cup to go to boot made me feel real good. The end result was two happy campers and a modest total at the end was a surprise for sure. We will be back to try breakfast items and again after that for more lunch goodies. All great things to say for this fresh and fun spot. read more

First watch came highly recommended by some locals so we had to give them a try. It was DELICIOUS. The menu has a very creative twist on breakfast food and a few extra perks you don't get at chain restaurants like freshly squeezed juices and 100% grade A maple syrup. We had the Chickichanga and Breakfast tacos - both were delicious but Chickichanga with The Vera Cruz sauce was our favorite. read more

My husband and I were so excited that a First Watch opened in N. Miami/Aventura area!! We practically lived at the one in Orlando on Dr. Phillips!! The new place here in Aventura is ADORABLE. Cute furniture, extremely bright with windows all around to let the sunlight in. Wooden table floors, very modern cabin feel inside. The inside decor is a definite upgrade to our fave spot in Orlando... It's a lot homier with a modern twist. FOOD was the best part... I got the eggs with the Avocado Toast. The Avocado is so on point, with lemon, seasoning and a little oil and the eggs steamed to perfection. So simple, healthy and DELICIOUS!! My husband got his go-to...The Chiki-changa....Which I recommend to anyone who likes chorizo. We shared a large fluffy buttermilk pancake, sweet and tasty. Just Delightful. And of course freshly squeezed orange juice. YUM!!! Service was incredible as well!! So excited they opened up near my house... Will be a regular!! Thank you First Watch!! read more

I gave 4 of 5 because the coffee is not that good and most of the time is cold. But had a great menu and I love the system.

I'm giving this place a 5 star review only because of my server. Alicia was so kind, she made my entire experience amazing! I waited an hour to be seated, and food took 45 mins. After waiting that long the food was ok. My waffle was hard as a rock, but my server fixed it in a jiffy. She will be the reason why I come back if anything. It's worth another try, just will try something new! read more

First Watch is a breakfast/brunch/lunch kind of establishment. My cousin brought us here for our last meal on our recent trip to south Florida and it was a nice way to end it. One of my cousins had ordered a salmon benedict and a carrot cake pancake. My other cousin had asked for a breakfast BLT with tomato soup. My wife ordered the avocado toast and I had asked for the chickichanga. I had a sample of all the plates and I have to say everything tasted great. My dish the chickichanga was a chicken filled chimichanga with sauce and sour cream. It was filling and tasty. I didn't have too much of the smoked salmon benny but just a taste that my cousin had let me try. Her pancake really tasted like carrot cake. We were given a thermos of coffee since we all had coffee. Their wifi wasn't really working well that day for whatever reason but the food more than made up for it. Their servings are pretty generous and the service was good. read more

I really love the menu at First Watch! There are so many options. But the whole waiting thing is a little bananas. I don't mind waiting for a table when it's needed. But they constantly have empty tables, that are just waiting to be seated. Like for example, last time we were there, we waited for 45 mins. When we sat down, we sat at a table that was open from the instant we walked in. Very frustrating. Now, to the food. I usually order the avocado toast. The portion is amazing. There is so much avocado packed on to the toast. Each bite is better than the last. The order comes with eggs, any style. And for a sweet treat, I get one huge pancake with chocolate chips. Unbelievable how delicious. They don't have fresh squeezed orange which is a bummer. But all in all, the food is enough to keep me coming back. read more

A cozy barn-inspired breakfast and lunch eatery located next to Starbucks in a strip mall. This was my second time at first watch. The name is a bit confusing but it's a decent stop for breakfast if you're in the area and don't want the usual nationwide breakfast items. The menu is chock full of interesting items, but lacks breakfast staples - ie grits. I looked forward to getting them, but they were nowhere on the menu which is surprising given the farm fare atmosphere. Our party ordered avocado toast with a "basted" egg (which is a fried egg that's been cooked on a flat top, squirted with water and covered), BLTE - bacon, lettuce, tomato, and egg which comes with their soup du jour or usual tomato basil, chikichanga - chicken chimichanga with eggs, a carrot cake pancake, and the smoked salmon Benedict, and kale tonic. My BLTE was delicious; however, the tomato soup was dismal. It was bland and was reminiscent of canned soup. The avocado toast was also lackluster in flavor sadly. The carrot cake pancake was a yummy, sweet ending to the meal. And, based on the other members in my party, they enjoyed their salmon Benedict (w/ side salad) and chikichanga (w/ home fries that appeared starchy and undercooked and a side of fruit). The service was prompt but disappointing. Our server failed offer us water or provide us with enough glasses when we did ask - which required a second mention, the specialty drinks we ordered came mid-meal (rather than before), coffee was offered and only poured halfway in the mug (strange), and she failed to mention that we pay up front - so our party was lingering post-meal waiting for the server to reappear. Overall, a beautiful restaurant but due to spotty service, high prices, and what I considered to be bland food, I most likely will not return. read more

Great food always! I have eaten at several locations in different cities and the food and service were excellent.

OK. Back to try their breakfast. Ordered a traditional breakfast of 2 scrambled eggs (small amount), small piece of smoked ham, home fries, toast and hot tea. with tax $12.50.. Pricey for what I got. Food came in proper time but was not what I consider hot. Should have sent it back. By the time I finished, it was cold. Manager type guy came buy after I finished to see if all was well and I told him about the not hot food. He didn't seem to be too concerned. May not go back.. read more

Restaurant is pretty big and busy. I can see why. The alcoholic drinks are great! The food is even better. We went for brunch. I got the biscuits and Turkey sausage gravy.

Despite the delicious and fresh food, I could not give more than 3 stars. The service, for some reason, is always awful. On two separate occasions, I've been waiting for a server for over 10 mins upon entering. It also gets kinda cramped in my opinion; the tables should be more spread out. The kitchen is SLow. On both occasions, we waiting a ridiculously long time for our food. Now, I stated earlier, the food itself is quality. If you're willing to sacrifice service for a good meal, then give this place a try. read more
