    Especial holiday menu item , bacon hash with a cheese crema, 2 over easy fried eggs on top and a very lightly dressed arugula salad.

    First Watch is my go to when visiting my daughter in North Port. Very friendly and efficient staff. Coffee was brought to the table quickly and order was taken. We were checked on routinely. Their servings are very generous and everything was very fresh and well executed.

    We had a wonderful breakfast at First Watch in Port Charlotte and it was such a great experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a bright, welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Everything was very clean and well organized, and the environment felt cheerful and inviting, which is perfect for starting the day. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed, and our server made sure we had everything we needed. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service was quick and efficient, and everyone working there seemed happy and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. You can really tell that everything is made with fresh ingredients and prepared with care. The menu has so many great options, from classic breakfast dishes to healthier choices and creative brunch items. Everything we ordered came out beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and everything was cooked perfectly. The coffee and drinks were also great and kept coming, which is always a plus when you're enjoying a relaxing breakfast. It's the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy good food, and have a great conversation with family or friends. Overall, this location truly stands out as a fantastic breakfast and brunch spot in Port Charlotte. Between the excellent service, fresh and flavorful food, and welcoming atmosphere, it's easy to see why so many people love First Watch. We will definitely be coming back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to start their morning!

    The First Watch in North Port was better than most locations I've tried. It was packed, but we were able to get a seat on the patio right away. I ordered the avocado toast with scrambled eggs and a side of fried potatoes. I also ordered a cocktail but cannot find it on their online menu to provide the drink name. But I remember it was made with tequila and agave and was refreshing. The toast was good with a ton of avocado! The scrambled eggs were hot and fresh. But I really enjoyed the potatoes with onions and I added ketchup. It was a good breakfast that kept me full until mid afternoon. Our server was friendly and attentive. I would eat at this location again. And seeing how busy they were tells me they must be consistently good.

    Farmhouse Skillet Hash
    Kyran D.

    The place was full to the brim with people, the wait line extended outside, after reserving a spot, wait was only around 7 minutes! It was a nice atmosphere with lots of people, and our waitress was nice/patient. We got the trifecta and farmhouse hash, they were both at our table in under 15 minutes. My trifecta came with bacon and sausage (wasn't much loll), a waffle, and 2 poached eggs, it tasted great! Onto the farmhouse hash; seasoned well, everything was cooked perfectly for both! Only complaint would be the portions are on the smaller side, but the price + quality evens it.

    Salad and Market Veggie 1/2 Sandwich 1/2 Salad
    Jamie F.

    Upon entering the restaurant was very busy which to me is a very good sign but it can be a little overwhelming since the seating is really close together and jam packed however we were seated outside on a nice Florida day where it was a bit more relaxing and much less stimulating. Upon being seated we ordered our drinks and were given menu with specials with a very friendly waiter. This was brunch hour so we decided to do the lunch menu over their breakfast and ordered the market veggie with side salad. There was a bit of a wait but totally expected and reasonable considering how busy it was. The food arrived and first glance the presentation was great. Looked light, fresh and inviting. Since I was no stranger to this particular sandwich I knew what to expect. It was very good however not filling at all. I realized I forgot to add a protein like turkey or chicken to it which is what I usually do. The salad was a bit dry and had little flavor. Next time I'll likely get a side soup instead. The pesto spread was perfect and veggies cooked to perfection. No complaints regarding freshness. Likely will order again but adding some sort of turkey or chicken breast to it so there's a bit more substance. We had a pleasant overall experience and will return. My one complaint is the pricing for what you are getting. I feel they overcharge a bit as the food doesn't match the price of what you are getting but if that isn't an issue for you than by all means check it out.

    Nice establishment. Good fast , friendly service . The coffee is good! And they leave the pot! **This dish is my absolute favorite breakfast dish EVER! BARBACOA CHILAQUILES BREAKFAST BOWL . We also had the half sandwich and or soup salad deal which was very good.

    Donuts

    Went to First Watch this morning because we have enjoyed breakfast at the Orlando and Boynton Beach locations. Good Choice! I got the Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict. Everything about it was a tasty blend. I was surprised that it was a tad spicy. My wife got the oatmeal with fresh fruit and was delighted. Our daughter got the Socal burrito. She was only able to eat half since it was so large. Our son in law got the same as me... probably trying to make points with dad : ). We happily shared the million dollar bacon and an order of the donuts with jam and chocolate dipping sauces This location goes in the win column for First Watch.

Jill is truly exceptional at what she does. Every time I visit, it's like she can read my mind--her recommendations are always spot on, and she somehow knows exactly what I'm going to love. She's incredibly warm, attentive, personable, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of. The ambiance is also what makes Banyan House such a unique gem in Wellen Park. Between the atmosphere, incredible food, cocktails, and especially the outstanding service from Jill, this is definitely a must-try if you're in the area!

    Charlotte County Girlfriends Lunch at The Banyan House…read more Our lunch yesterday, Wednesday Aug.12, 26: at The Banyan House was truly special. This was our second time gathering there with our Charlotte County Girlfriends, and once again, it was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. We had the pleasure of celebrating one of our ladies' birthdays with a complete surprise. She doesn't often join us because she and her husband enjoy traveling both domestically and internationally, so having her with us made the occasion even more meaningful. We were delighted to surprise her with our group birthday song and a beautiful well-wishes card signed by everyone. It was a wonderful moment shared by all. A special thank-you goes to our servers, Jillian and Marley, who were exceptional throughout our entire luncheon. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and gracious service truly enhanced our experience. The Banyan House once again exceeded our expectations. The service, beverages, appetizers, entrées, and desserts were exceptional. Our ladies enjoyed an impressive variety of selections, including the Local Golden Beets Salad, Chicken Wedge, Grilled Salmon Caesar, Lobster Bisque, French Onion Soup, Chicken BLT, Blackened Grouper, Beef Short Ribs, and many other delicious choices. Each entrée offered several side selections, giving everyone plenty of options to enjoy. As I walked around our tables, I heard nothing but compliments about the food. There wasn't one unhappy lady! The quality, presentation, and variety made it easy for everyone to find something they truly enjoyed. And, of course, the best part of any Charlotte County Girlfriends gathering is the company. Looking around the room, there were smiles, laughter, wonderful conversations, and plenty of catching up among friends. Even as lunch came to an end, our ladies continued chatting as they prepared to leave. Our servers were practically zigzagging around the room as conversations continued from table to table! We were also very pleased to meet Stacy, the General Manager, who took the time to thank our group for choosing The Banyan House. She graciously welcomed us back for future lunches or dinners, and we certainly look forward to returning. Thank you, The Banyan House, Jillian, Marley, Stacy, and the entire team for making our luncheon such a memorable experience. And to all of our Charlotte County Girlfriends who joined us--thank you for making another gathering filled with friendship, laughter, great food, and wonderful memories. Enjoy the pictures from today! And if you visit The Banyan House, don't hesitate to mention that you read our Charlotte County Girlfriends review. Until our next gathering!

I looked at the outdoor bar but every single seat was taken. All the outdoor tables were booked. So I went inside and saw the inside bar was also full. A table for ten and a table for 6 had departed and needed to be bussed, but both were too much for just one person. So I checked in w the hostess and she asked - booth or table. I wanted table. I got a nice table by the river! Lovely views. Exactly what I wanted. Menus were dropped and soon, Sam was checking in on me. I was so hungry, I had looked at the menu and pics on my way there. I went for the crab cake appetizer and the Gold Wave cocktail. For my entree, I was torn between the Grouper Reuben and the Sea Dog (fried grouper on a long roll, topped with all sorts of goodness). Sam said grouper Reuben was his choice. He asked if I wanted grilled, blackened or fried. I told him to surprise me. For my side, I had the choice of (more) coleslaw (it has coleslaw instead of sauerkraut), fries, sweet potato fries, or a side house or Cesar salad for $4 more. I went w the house salad and their standard citrus vinaigrette. Salad and crab cake came out first. Salad was a huge portion- romaine (some pieces needed better washing), red onion galore, halved cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices. It was great, but needed croutons. The crab cake was the perfect size for one person. It had a whole grain mustard remoulade sauce. Yum! It had some filler but also had a lot of crab. I enjoyed it. The grouper Rueben came out hot!!!! Served with a side of coleslaw and a pickle. I added some needed salt. Boy that fish filet was huge. Sam had put it in grilled for me. Healthy. Nice. I ate half and then I was stuffed. I filled up on the salad and crabcake apparently. I enjoyed the views of boaters going by. It started to rain hard and the folks outside just stayed there. The overhang must've been protecting them well. My server, Sam, was around often to answer my questions. Apparently the grouper Reuben market price is only $21. And if you want redfish or mahi, the price is the same- $21! That's crazy. What a deal. The gold wave is made with Elijah Craig; Good ol Kentucky bourbon. And for dessert, they have cheesecake, peanut butter pie, mud pie, key lime pie, coconut sorbet and orange cake (which he says is a local favorite). I was too stuffed to buy but happy to hear the list. Overall I had a wonderful meal and service was really good. I would recommend adding croutons to the salad, and cleaning up the bathrooms regularly. This place ain't fancy. It's a dirt parking lot. The tables are naked. Folks come casual. However, the prices are great and the food does the talking. Come check them out.
