Met up here with my Sister for breakfast and it didn't disappoint! This is my 3rd time at First Watch (been to one in San Antonio and Las Vegas) and I can say the chain is super consistent with the vibes, staff and decor. The food is great quality and Kyle, our server was fantastic. I had the seasonal million dollar breakfast sandwich omg! It was delicious! Loved it! My sister had the standard breakfast but her gem? The chicken sausage! It was so good! Done very well! Great spices and it tasted homemade! We love First Watch! read more

I've been wanting to try this place, heard good things. we made reservations driving over, or you can join wait ahead of time online. Friendly staff, very quick service. Food is great, flavorful. nice space. Can't wait to come back and try other dishes. Boyfriend rated it as a 7/10 I'd say a 8/10 Smaller portions, than most diners or breakfast places but I think it's just enough food. Sitting in high top tables by bar are very comfortable, I usually don't like bar or high top seating read more

Godfather breakfast bowl was really good. The sauce has a good spice to it, and the grits, sausage, arugla, and egg in too of the sauce just mix so well together. I definitely want to try the other menu items after trying this. Also got strawberry tres leches french toast and toast pretty good portion size as well. Definitely for sharing since it is pretty sweet. We requested outdoor patio seating and was seated right away. Our waitress was also very nice and friendly. Overall good experience here! read more

Hubby and I decided to come here for breakfast. It's located in Ravinia Plaza, with ample parking. The staff are warm and welcoming -- we were greeted as soon as we arrived. Even though it was packed, our wait was maybe about 10 minutes, give or take. The ambiance is bright and airy with modern decor. The waiting area has a self-serve coffee station, which is a wonderful touch. Like some other patrons, we were not served water when we sat down. I did see some water on a few tables, and maybe patrons need to ask. Our server, Reegan, was pleasant. They brought a carafe of coffee and said it comes from Colombia. Love how strong it is. Hubby ordered The Tri-fecta with a pancake and smoked ham. I ordered The Tradtional Breakfast with chicken sausage and toast. We both enjoyed our meals. This is a wonderful neighborhood staple. We will definitely be back. read more

First Watch - The Tri-fecta and The Traditional Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orland Park, Illinois

Welcome to the neighborhood! Day 2 of First Watch in Orland, IL and I know that I am excited to have this wonderful establishment close to home. This is the 2nd location in the entire state of Illinois, and I find it exciting. Now, let's hop into this review. As mentioned, this is DAY 2 of this establishment being open. So, I really wanted to observe. Come in and get one of my new favorite bites and enjoy all that was offered. I kept in mind: This location just opened. Be kind, enjoy:) It is REALLY cute inside. Cozy, welcoming. Opening week brings free coffee for all. YAY! So nice! I went in with one thing on my mind; Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. I ordered this pancake as part of what is called their "Tri-fecta". 2 eggs, 2 pieces of meat your choice (I selected chicken sausage) and one multigrain pancake (the lemon ricotta, OMG). This pancake came with fresh strawberries and was lightly dusted with powdered sugar. I asked for maple syrup just in case I needed a lil kiss of buttery yummers. My date ordered Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos. 3 came in the order, with a side of black beans and avocado. Lucky for me, I got the side of green loving (avocado). The Million Dollar Bacon was a side order. It is truly a sweet smoky bacon treat, with a kick of spice. DO TRY IT! I had a cup of coffee that was stronger than CAPTAIN AMERICA! Yet yummers! We arrived after 12p and we had plenty of time to eat, talk with neighbors at the table right next to us and allow our food to digest. This restaurant is a wonderful establishment. I have visited their Oakbrook, IL location several times, and it is truly a nice place for breakfast/lunch. Farm to table. Fresh and delightful. It truly is that simple and easy. I hope others will find their way and make a big fuss about First Watch. Go in, ask about their story as to how this business was established. It will warm your heart. I will say, what I WOULD have liked from this experience: To be offered water at the table. An Explanation of the menu/specials. THIS location, to have had the server explain much of anything. She was just rushing along, the entire time. Everything was a rush. Disappointing, but the kinks will work out. I am sure of it. Again, HAPPY to have First Watch in Orland, IL. A nice addition to what we already have, and I am happy about it. YAY for LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES! Make this establishment a part of your breakfast hot spots! It is a great place, with great history, they really give back to others in more ways than one. And as always, you don't have to take my word for it....GO GET YOU SOME! read more

We have first watch back in AZ but this was nice and convenient for us to meet some family in the area during a Chicago visit! We had a large group but got seated pretty quickly. I pretty much always get the market skillet sub eggs with avocado. And it always hits the spot! Only small complaint was that the avocado looked a little brown but it wasn't like inedible. My son got a pancake and loved it. He also shared some bacon with my grandma and loved it. We also all tried the mini honey butter biscuits which was seasonal, and we all thought they were super delicious! Service was great, all our orders were correct and I wish I remembered our servers name (short hair, glasses, celebrating a bday), because the service was so awesome! My son even got some stickers which was sweet! Nice, clean location! read more

Kyle, is absolutely amazing! So very attentive to your dinning needs. We'll be back soon. And it's my birthday today! I had a wonderful birthday breakfast. read more

Ok so my family of 6 did go on a Sunday afternoon after church so we should've picked a better time... the service was awful. It took forever to get our food and an entree and a side never came. Just a mess. The food, is delicious. I had a traditional breakfast with million dollar bacon and soft scrambled eggs. That bacon is a winner and you should go for that alone. The rest of my breakfast was great although my potatoes were a little under done. All in all, I am hoping that the service will improve with time but for now whew it stinks. I would avoid brunch here for a few more weeks so they can tighten up the model. read more

We came on a Saturday morning and they were very busy. We were able to get on a waitlist online which helped our wait. We started with the donuts which were really good and are offered free on a coupon when you sign up. The food was really fresh and delicious. They seem to be geared towards healthy and fresh. The decor was inviting. Very open concept and was loud. Staff were friendly, quick and accommodating. read more

Came here for brunch and was seated pretty quickly on a weekday. Tried their strawberry tres leche French toast which was a popular item but not a fan of it. Also tried their caramel iced coffee which tasted very off but mint mocha coffee was soo much better. The service was great. read more

First time at this one, I had the traditional breakfast, I asked for eggs scrambled soft & they were not, everything else was good, their grits are so good, I'm from Fl so grits are a staple. My coffee in the carafe was luke warm at best. Server was friendly. Would I recommend First Watch, yes, the ones I go to in SWFl are bigger/nicer but it was still worth trying. read more

Food was good, brunch with 2 friends & we all enjoyed our meals (which was difficult, soo many excellent choices). Highly recommend the lemon ricotta pancakes, I don't even love lemon but they were my favorite thing. Service was good, had a friendly server. Was busy for a Friday morning but not loud or uncomfortable. As with all brunch places in the area now, expect to pay at least $15 per meal. read more

The food was great. We came on Mother's Day with a large group so the wait was very long, but any other day of the year I assume would be fine. We were very relieved when our food came out and tasted great - made the wait feel worth it! read more

Ordered via the website for delivery. Ordered Trifecta with waffle and bacon. A side of potatoes, a side of fresh fruit and coffee. Food was delicious only issue I had was I felt the potatoes were a bit salty. I do like salt but they seemed a little over. Bacon is great. Fresh fruit was a nice medley of strawberries pineapple grapes and blueberries. Waffle was tender and not to thick. Coffee was very good too. A little stronger than I'm used to but still very good. Delivery was quick. Arrived before the requested time. read more

The manager was very helpful to let me and my dog outside , everyone was nice to help also

Very disappointing. I ordered the salmon frittata. It was small and overcooked. It was served with a half inch strip of ciabatta; that was considered the toast. The mixed greens were nice. And the coffee was very good. The decor of the restaurant was lovely. Our server was very nice. But the food was not good. read more

Food was very delicious. The Million Dollar bacon and the Million Dollar Potato's are well worth the visit. Plus they leave the whole carafe of coffee at your table so you won't have to wait for a warm read more

Service exceptional! Food is fresh - very, very good - I got the avocado chopped salad - best salad I've had in ages. My husband got the chicken pesto power bowl and felt it could not have been better. He also got the morning meditation drink. We loved this place and will definitely be back. I'll be thinking about that salad all week! Sat outside - if you're eating inside bring a sweater - pretty chilly read more

The establishment was closed despite the ai on the phone saying it wasn't. We made a reservation but when we arrived we saw that they were permanently closed read more

The B.E.C. was incredible, the bacon so good and the pickled peppers nice and vinegary to balance out the flavors. I was utterly stuffed at the end, which I didn't expect, and was glad for a little salad to compliment the fatty butter slathered sourdough and cheesy sandwich. Love it, would eat again but it's a limited time item. read more

My son and I went here for his 16th birthday breakfast, we were sat right away but it was a Tuesday morning around like 8:30am. They did a wonderful job at the inside and the decor is beautiful. There was plenty of management walking around making sure people had what they needed. When my son and I first sat down we were greeted by a gentleman who felt like he did not want to be there first off. He ask what we want to drink, my son says a chocolate milk and I say a Mimosa. He then goes can I see your ID, I thought you were a high schooler walking in. I Said no were actually here celebrating my son's 16th birthday. Never acknowledged my son or said Happy Birthday. Which wasn't a big deal but many restaurants if you say that they'll at least say happy birthday to the kid. Anyway he brings our drinks back and gave my son a hot chocolate ??? I felt like our server was rushing us. We ordered our food which was very good I might add. My son got two chocolate chip pancakes, and they're so big you could definitely get full off one. I had the waffle and it was again very good. The food was incredible, management was great. I think the one server we had just needs more training. Like i said it was only the second day they have been open. They have tons to choose from, iced coffees, and boozy drinks. Not sure if I would go back again. read more

The food was verv tasty. The decor and vibe was very inviting. The lemon pancakes were perfection. I also ordered turkey sausage gravy eqgs and biscuits delicious. I had ginger,beets,tumeric juice excellent. The only negative thing about this place is that they have small portions and a bit overpriced. Also, the server was friendly but didn't check in on us much to see if we needed anything. This is a new place and I'm sure w time improvements will be made. read more

MEH. Our food arrived cold, but management re made mine. My husband never sends his food back...lol. I liked my poached eggs. Waffle came back nicely crisp and hot! My husband says he's one and done. read more

Arrived at 8:45 and there was a 20 minute wait...not a big deal. The space was airy, bright, and cheery. Great selection of food and beverages. I ordered the Traditional with a side of cheesy grits. The eggs, toast- with a very good house jam, and potatoes were well done, but I found the ham- a fair piece of ham with good flavor, but over-cooked a bit and so it was rather dry. The cheesy grits were not hot, but well flavored. I would really like to try them after they have their "sea legs" under them, because I think they were still very new and perhaps were not ready for such a large crowd. read more

Front door service was extremely inhospitable. The lady took forever to come to greet us at door. So I ended up doing online reservation to be seated quickly. She then proceeded to take care of four customers prior to us. I addressed our reservation and she still proceeded to seat people that came after us. When addressed she asked would you like to speak to a manager. In so many words she insinuates she doesn't give a f. Do NOT come here. There are far better locations and places to eat, I ended up leaving. read more

Service was good Reagan and Sheridan were great team together U have to ask for water if you want They also offer fresh cream if you ask Coffee is put in a coffee pot on your table so you don't have to ask for a refill read more

First Watch always feels so personalized and local despite being a national company expanding rapidly. The attention to detail, the food quality and the employee care is consistent from one location to the next. We have tried so many! We always like to see the art piece reflecting the city we are in and / or the colorful specials board! Million Dollar Bacon, Chocolate Mint Iced Coffee , Salmon Benedict and Chocolate Chip pancakes are my favorites. My son savors the Tomato Soup. At Orland Park we met Todd and Jill who guide things. They are so delightful. They set the tone for the entire team. And if you are lucky enough to have Chloe as your server, you will interact with such a lovely & wonderfully kind person! This is such an uplifting, airy atmosphere which makes you feel comfortable the moment you enter. And they also have their delicious blend of coffee available for purchase to enjoy First Watch coffee at home or work! We love this place! Mark S. read more

Unfortunately we were not able to eat here as we were randomly dropped from the online waitlist. I've heard mostly good things about this location so we were excited to try. We added our name to the waitlist online, which had a 70+ minute wait, but this was fine as we were running errands and the time worked out. We finished up and headed to the restaurant, which was about 35 minutes away. However when we were about 5 minutes away I received a text that we were removed. We had the app so we saw our position in line (27th) so not sure what happened. We do not live in the area so this was a complete waste of our time. I know its still fairly new so hope they get the kinks out. Not sure when or if I would take that chance again though. read more

Loved the food. Portions are just enough. Coffee is good. Service was great both of my visits. Wonderful upgrade for this little corner. Cute decor. read more

The potatoes weren't fully cooked. I asked for crispy and got undercooked. I got one egg and should have gotten 2 eggs. I noticed it when the others eggs were double the size. They got cheap on the toast and gave me only one slice. Did bread go up like gas at 6$ a slice? For a $30 meal, I could have gotten a dinner entree. read more

The breakfast was delicious, I just found the high top chairs to be very uncomfortable and I didn't like being squashed by the bar

The service needs improvement. Family of 6 ordered, my food was never brought out, nor my grandsons bacon. The manager came over and took the meal off the bill and apologized. No straw for my grandsons drink and the food was not hot. Requested more coffee and it took forever. Overall it was not a good experience. read more
