This is our go to breakfast place when we visit our granddaughter. Our hotel serves free breakfast but we go here at least once during our visit. There food is fresh, different and awesome at the same time. We started with blueberry lemon cornbread. My granddaughter ordered te drink pineapple express. It was a mixture of juices. The special drinks are always good. Lemon ricotta pancakes, floridian French toast and avocado toast are some of my favorites. Service is always good and they get you on and out quickly as there is always a wait to get their delicious food. My only complaint they are not in NY.

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.

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.

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

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.

Had brunch for the first time at this location and the service was excellent and there somewhere special was amazing. Great atmosphere.

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.

While in Florida, we found a First Watch. I had visited first watch in Texas so I knew I would get good food for the price of a long wait. I went online to see if we could get on the waitlist, but it said currently no waiting. I thought nice, let's go. But as soon as we hit the parking lot, I knew, at least an hour wait. After we were seated for 30mins, I had to grab another waitress to put in our order. The food took at least 45 mins to come out and we were starving at that point. I ordered the hash and the husband ordered a salad. You would have thought, simple that will be out quickly, nope. The food was good. The service is lacking read more

One of my favorite things to do when I'm home for break is visit First Watch with my brother. The waitresses are always super friendly, the food is delicious and they have rotating specials that are fun to try! On this particular visit, my brother chose the salmon eggs benedict and I went with the Cinnamon Chip Pancake trifecta (pancake, eggs, fruit bowl). I'm telling you, I was in HEAVEN!

If you're looking for basic bacon and eggs, this is not the place. While they do have such choices on their menu, they specialize in healthier dishes, like fruit crepes, quinoa bowls, and multigrain pancakes. I ordered the fruit crepes and they were delicious! The fruit tastes fresh and the strawberry yogurt on top was the perfect compliment. It also came with a side of granola (which you can buy in store if you like it) and a huge muffin. The coffee was just okay. It tasted like Dunkin's brew, and I'm not a fan of Dunkin. The service was fine up until the waitress brought us the check while we were still eating. The restaurant wasn't crowded, so I don't understand the rush; it's rude. read more

I admit I tend to prefer eating at local joints over chains, but I've heard such great things about First Watch that I figured where better to try it than in Florida! (Not to mention there's a dearth of brunch places around here.) The menu was almost overwhelming because everything sounded SO good. I love that there are so many options with lots of veggies and that most things come with potatoes (I love me some breakfast potatoes!) I was between the chickichanga (?) and the market hash. Ended up going with the hash on the waitresses recommendation and it was awesome! Even bonus surprise that it came with fruit (mostly pineapple! Yum). I also liked that they let you add/subtract whatever you want, so I added some avocado. For all you get, I'd say this place is a great deal. Lots of food, but I didn't leave feeling disgustingly full either. Perfect! Will definitely be back. read more

The beef on the French dip lacked flavor as did the au jus. The beef reminded us of sliced deli roast beef not something the was marinated in spices for a period of time. Would give the French dip 2.5-3 stars. The chicken and onions on the Feathered Philly were better. They were seasoned and hot off the grill. Would give them 3.5 stars.

We started with the blue crab and artichoke fondue which I would highly recommend. It was plenty to share and came with a few different dipping options. It was cheesy without being excessively heavy. I got the mussels and fries as my dinner. The mussels were good, very standard, no notes on them. The fries were particularly good though. They were perfectly crisp, very hot like they were made to order, and topped with a lovely sprinkle of parmesan and drizzle truffle aioli. Had I been exceptionally hungry I'm not sure if this would have been enough as an entree, but there were definitely plenty of mussels if you're looking for a lighter meal or to share amongst the table. The rest of my party got the grouper, miso cod, and wagyu flatiron. They all had nothing but good things to say about their meals. I tried the strawberry haze to drink. It wasn't my favorite but that was more due to personal preference than the preparation itself. I wasn't expecting the charred strawberry to come through in the way that it did. Our server was very nice and answered the few questions we had. I would absolutely come back here to try their other menu items.

What a horrible experience. Went for my husband's birthday...first time here. Waitress tried but…read moreseemed inexperienced...didn't bother to explain specials and tried to take our order before the first round of drinks arrived. Felt rushed even though they weren't busy. We both ordered the Waygu steak. Sides were cold and steak was tough. We sent it back and asked for the check. The wine then came that we wanted with dinner. I said that I didn't really want it anymore, but since it was there we'd go ahead and drink it. Manager came and said she was sorry about our meal, invalidating us by saying that the steak was really popular (guess she hasn't read Yelp reviews). Check came, and I guess I was expecting that they would comp the round of wine that we ordered expecting to enjoy with dinner. I was surprised that they charged us for it anyway. Spent $70 and without eating. What a waste of a birthday "dinner".

Hometown Grill

You know they are a good breakfast spot when people are waiting at 6:15 for doors to open. We had…read morebreakfast here a few years ago and enjoyed it; wanted to go back but we don't eat breakfast often. Prices were higher this time, understandably. They are still better priced on a basic breakfast than other places nearby. I wanted to try their eggs Benedict even though I've only ever had it maybe 2-3 times in my life! I'm not a good person to judge since I'm not really sure what hollandaise should taste like! It was more tangy tart than I expected. The eggs were cooked the way they should be and the ham was thick. In my memory, it should've had a stronger ham flavor, as I think Canadian bacon is the traditional meat and I was hoping for that. But even eating a piece of the thick ham by itself, I couldn't taste a salty smoked ham flavor. While I found that disappointing, I couldn't take a star away because visually it looked great, and I imagine a lot of people would love to see that thick slice of ham even if it is too mild! Don't judge it by my photo because I broke my yolks and stirred them up before I remembered to take a photo. The grits (my choice of side) were just like I like them. My husband got a 2 eggs breakfast with home fries (?) sausage and toast. It was a full plate of food and he enjoyed it. They have home made strawberry jam (yum!) and I will for sure get breakfast with toast or biscuits next time just so I can have some of that jam. I did put a little bit of jam on a couple bites of my English muffin from under my Benedict. The coffee mug was tall so my husband appreciated that; and the friendly & attentive server, Melissa, filled it before empty, as needed. We will be back "sooner than later" hopefully, because there's more I want to try on their menu. I do recommend going here for breakfast especially if you are an early bird or find yourself out and about very early for some reason like we were, and need a breakfast. I think they might get crowded quickly, so early is better. Note that their hours were not accurate on the iPhone maps app - I submitted correct hours and it's pending approval. However I used the website hours and one of their days I think it was Sunday - was showing closed at 1 but it's actually 1:30.

No frills, just great food and great people. Bottom line: If you love real BBQ, Dubz is a must-try. I'll definitely be back... probably sooner than I should be.

Absolutely love this place. My husband and I go there often, we have started bringing in our friends just so that they can see and taste for themselves why we rant and rave about this place so much. The food is awesome and always hot. They offer a 2 for you special and you can get half of a sandwich and half of a salad or half of a salad and a cup of soup for 1 price. I really enjoy this because I can not eat so much in 1 sitting and this special is just perfect for me. The service is even better. We always try to ask for the server, Courtney. She is such a doll. She always welcomes us with such a warm kind smile. She is very attentive to our needs and really goes above and beyond to make our experiences there so great. She even likes to joke around with the guys at our table when they start picking on her! We just laugh and have such a great time. Keep up the great work Courtney and First Watch, we have more friends to bring in! read more

How disappointing. The menu focuses on how their "fresh" food is but the salad I just sampled shouldn't have been served. Just awful, really bad. I called it to the attention of the server and asked for another, she brought out another plate with what must have been from the same batch. Couldn't believe it!. She never checked back, I thought a manager may check back but no one did, finally called another server to get the manager and his indifference was as unfortunate as the salad. read more

I had breakfast here yesterday, and let me tell you, it was a fantastic start to my day! The service was great--my server was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The drinks were amazing too; I had a delicious coffee that really hit the spot. The food was just as good, and everything felt fresh and flavorful. Overall, I had a wonderful breakfast experience, and I definitely plan to return. If you're looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a meal, this is it! read more

This is probably my favorite breakfast place. I have been ordering the same thing for years-the "Bacado", an omelette with bacon, tomato, and cheese, topped with avocado and served with a side of breakfast potatoes and toast. They give you an entire pot of coffee when you ask for coffee, which I love. The service has always been great. You really can't go to wrong with this place. read more
