    Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee-- sugar rush!
    Bella S.

    This place is as solid as breakfast comes. Always reliable and delicious. RIP the fall menu; miss that honey chicken chipotle hash with its pickled onions and crema sauce already. Today, though, I tried the barbacoa chilaquiles bowl which said it was new on the regular menu. Super good. Also can never go wrong with the elevated egg sandwich. The service is always so friendly and nice, in this clean, well-lit establishment. Two thumbs up for breakfast in Oakville.

    Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash
    Cherie R.

    Great brunch place, just be prepared to wait in line or join the waitlist online! They were soooo busy but service was great and very quick. They have high chairs for the kiddos and different plastic cups and straws for them to use too. My chipotle honey hash was VERY salty. Didn't love it honestly. I saved a lot and added fresh avocado to tone down the saltiness. The biscuits and gravy were yummy / the potatoes that came with that dish were really good and not too salty. The pancake was giant and yummy too!

    Very good, as always. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The food is always excellent. We both had seasonal specials this time, and enjoyed them. The restaurant is always clean, and staff is helpful.

    I have been to many First Watch restaurants, scattered across Kentucky, Ohio, and Missouri. It's a good option for us because we know and like their menu, the cocktails are good enough, and they have a Gluten Free menu. I don't normally order power bowls, but we were in a bit of a rush and getting ready for a beach vacation. So I had to eat something healthier. Both bowls were fantastic, and the coffee went down fast. Nothing much else to comment on this experience. So why is this a five star review? There are a few reasons: 1. This was my second time to this location, and both were good experiences 2. Servers were kind and efficient for a chaotic Saturday morning 3. We put our names on the waitlist, arrived in the timeframe, and actually got seated. That does not always happen Overall - a consistently pleasant time with good food and plenty of options.

    Food wonderful, atmosphere great, customer service is A1!!! We had the Trifecta, one with waffle, and the other with pancakes. All of it was great!!!!!

    Food from here is always good but i ordered on doordash and received a pancake that wasn't cooked so i was a little disappointed other than that everything was good.

    First Watch boasts a varied breakfast/brunch and lunch menu including a good vegetarian selection. Prices are moderate for the quality and portions. Skillet potatoes were outstanding, crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Fluffy scrambled eggs and well done thick sliced bacon. I don't know what brand they serve, but coffee was delicious. We were quickly seated and served during mid morning mid week visit. Nice that calorie information is on the menu. I don't understand why beverage menu doesn't have prices, even coffee.

    Holey Donuts (on the other side of the bowl are a chocolate sauce and berry compote for dipping)
    Raza S.

    We come to First Watch every few months- it's really a solid place and has entrenched itself into our normal breakfast rotation. The staff are friendly and laid back. The ambience is casual and, although it is usually busy on the weekends, the service is fast and efficient. I have a terrible sweet tooth during breakfast, but initially restrained myself at our most recent trip by ordering "The Traditional". This plate comes with two eggs, potatoes, toast, and choice of meat. The ingredients are fresh and it just felt like I was eating a healthier meal. All of the food is cooked perfectly. Of course, I couldn't resist and caved by ordering the Holey Donuts which are cinnamon sugar-dusted cake dount holes. This dish comes with both chocolate sauce and a berry compote for dipping. It was so delicious (my mouth is watering just writing this). I'll be back soon!

    Love the food. Everything is always delicious. The staff is courteous and food comes out promptly. The service is top notch. The ambiance matches their theme. It's a lively breakfast/brunch restaurant that promotes fresh and healthy ingredients. The decor reflects that. Oscar was our waiter and he was attentive but not intrusive.

    I was sad to find old avocado
    Steven M.

    I mean it was good. And I would go back again. But it's not something I'd crave. We went in at about 10 am on a Wednesday. We got seated right away. We got drinks within a few minutes and food came about 15 minutes after that. The one big negative is that there was brown/old avocado slices on my plate. The server was nice enough but seemed a little frazzled. Maybe she had one table too much. That's pretty much it. There are plenty of pictures here to look at to see what the food is like. Like I said, I'll go again but it's not something I'll suggest when guests are in from out of town.

    Our table of 4 was seated very quickly for Saturday morning brunch. The service was great, staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend

    Taco El Pastor Hash
    Paul P.

    On way to my Dr appt, daughter and I decided stop by for breakfast on way. First Watch 2nd time but different location. First time I've been to Chesterfield but this one in Oakville. It make it quick and I order Banana Foster French Toast. See on the board of spring special. My daughter ordered Taco El Pastor Hash. It's pulled pork taco with roasted hash potatoes. French Toast we're delicious and can't eat all of it. The waitress were friendly. Thank you for these breakfast

    Rude wifi customer in a busy Sunday with long wait over an hour on laptop
    Cynthia B.

    Extremely rude customer taking up table for 4 on Sunday morning with a very long wait. On laptop the entire hour (was done when we were seated) plus phone. Ordered nothing additional. This place needs staff so times are running a little slower now but this is beyond rude. The server already has less table turnover but this person just screwed the waitress totally by not allowing her a 4 person tip. Customers are not always right and just because someone is nice enough to not ask (you) to leave doesn't mean you get to win the ass of the day trophy and smile about it. But you definitely won. 5 star for staff. Zero star for laptop/cell phone two fisting mama done eating for well over an hour and a half.

    Biscuits & gravy, Barbacoa breakfast burrito & a Bloody Mary!

When we arrived, there were a few other customers inside, but it was not too busy. After taking some time to review the menu, we placed our orders at the counter, paid and then found a table upstairs to sit at. The food did not take too long before it was brought over to our table and honestly, it looked so colorful, fresh and tasty. We were all very excited to try our meals and, of course, share with one another. Everything we ordered was just so delicious. The salads were freshly made and the sandwich I ordered was honestly so good. I wanted to eat the whole thing, but it was very filling so I had to take half home with me. Of course, the fries were all eaten since they were hot and just the right amout of crispy. I need to add this spot to my rotation of places whenever I am in need of something fresh and somewhat healthy.

He was waiting a while and went up to ask to see what the problem was and it wasn't getting any answers. After waiting over an hour, we finally received our food. We were completely baffled at what we received. My daughter's "burger" looked like it was the scrapings from the end of the night off the grill. My vegetables looked old and dried out. You can see from the pictures how ridiculous this food came out. The manager brought it to our table. You would have thought if this was a new cook or whatever was going on he would be doing some sort of quality control. We called the manager over and asked him to look at the food. He said that he was sorry that it was a new cook. So we asked for a refund, and left. They definitely need to work on staff communication. Communicating with each other and with patrons. I had planned on purchasing some of the frozen meals to have later in the week, but because of the negative situation, I didn't even bother.
