So a friend suggested this place for an impromptu brunch when I was in the Dr Phillips area. And I figured I was in for a treat when during a weekday morning there was a line for tables. The menu is full of eclectic and healthy choices, including avocado toast which seems to be popping up every where as of late. I ended up with an egg sandwich with potatoes and my friend had the soup and sandwich combo. The flavors in the sandwich were the perfect combo and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't wait to go back and try the various other healthy (and not so healthy) options. read more

I was looking for a good breakfast place close to the hotel we were staying in and was lucky enough to find this one really close to where we were. I absolutely loved this restaurant. It was clean, neat and pretty, staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was great. The menu is organized into three sections, Breakfast, Brunch, and Lunch. My kind of place. The breafast menu also had a "healthy" option where egg whites, veggies, fruits, and non-fatening food were available. I had an omelet from the healthier section and I loved it. My sisters had the chocolate chip pancakes, I also tried them and they were delicious and HUGE. One pancake is enough for one person... unless you've got a big appetite. The breakfast potatoes were also delicious!!!! I kept stealing them from my husband's plate [he had the Alcapulco Express Omelet--which he loved]. The coffee here was really great... so much so that we bought one of their ground roast packages to take home. Again, service was attentive. Our waiter was very nice. Seriously good food. read more

No matter what First Watch location I go to, they never disappoint. This location however deserves 5 stars and more. So good in fact, we came two mornings in a row! The food and service was outstanding. The first morning I got the pancake special (protein pancake stack). I'm not really a big pancake person but these were divine. Boyfriend got the farmhouse hash which he let me try so I had to get that on my second visit. We also ordered a banana crunch pancake which was amazing. Pro tip - always order one pancake. The single order pancakes are HUGE! I also love First Watch because hey don't skimp on the coffee creamer. They use legit International Delight mini creamers - none of this off brand shenanigans. The service was phenomenal, super friendly staff. And our food came out piping hot and fast on both visits. I loved the ambiance of this location as well. They have a neat community table upon entry that you can down with other patrons without having to wait for a table which I thought was a great idea. I definitely recommend a visit to this First Watch location if you're in the area. Much better than hotel buff t breakfast! read more

Farm fresh ingredients for our omelettes and paired with strong Columbian coffee and refreshing kale juice. The omelettes were perfectly made, the potatoes just right and the rye bread toast was delicious. Everything felt good going down. The restaurant itself was bright, clean and spacious and had a nice modern vibe to it. I'm taking a half star off because the wait from order to the arrival of the food was longer than average. Other than that, this one really hit the spot. Recommended read more

Greatest find in a while. Food fresh and cooked perfectly. I highly recommend it, but do yourself a huge favor and plan ahead

Had the traditional. Eggs, bacon, potatoes, multigrain toast. I wanted to try the million dollar bacon. The great waitress suggested the traditional and she could sub the million dollar for $1 upcharge! So that's what i did. The jam is homemade. They give you a coffee pot on your table..... awesome! Atmosphere is cool. They have inside/ outside seating. Enjoyed my food. I am a coffee addict.... the coffee for me was just ok.... nothing to write home about. The bacon was good except i think could be little more spicy. (Sweet/spicy). Overall good & i would come back. Big menu. Nice peeps. read more

Food here was really good, had my first frittata. Sat at the community table because the wait was 35 minutes, not something I enjoyed. The bathrooms were dirty, trash overflowing and as I passed the kitchen I saw toast on the floor that people were passing and not bothering to pick up. Prices were reasonable, service was adequate. read more

First Watch - Community table - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This location has the best decor and ambience of the various First Watches I've been to. Our server was amazingly friendly (to the point of being perky). We went for lunch and I had the 2 For You, a sort of variant on Panera's Pick 2. I chose a half Reuben sandwich and half pecan salad. Both were delicious (be sure to get the dressing on the side, it's quite sweet so you don't need much). I would definitely have both again. My best First Watch experience to date. read more

First Watch - Interior - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

To avoid waiting as long, you can get in line ahead of time using the NoWait app (go to NoWait.com for more info). You have to be within 10 miles of the restaurant before the app will let you put your name on the wait list, however. The BLT eggs benedict was tasty. I also enjoyed the chickichanga (it's in between the size of a burrito and the size of a taco) but if I came again I'd probably try something else to see if I could find a dish that I loved more. Our waitress seemed kind of unhappy. It kind of harshed our happy Saturday brunch buzz to have such a blah/apathetic attitude from our waitress, but I guess everyone can't be peppy and perky all day, every day. read more

Always love this place, over the years. High quality ingredients and great flavor without relying on tons of salt or sugar (or worse) for the flavor. Some really good healthier options available, good omelets and salads, and good fresh juices too. It's a little pricey compared to similar breakfast /brunch spots, but then the others don't use the same quality of fresh /organic ingredients (and it shows). This location is usually pretty busy, and there's often a bit of a wait, but it's not too bad. read more

Very clean location. I think all their locations have been consistent in the quality and taste of their dishes. I really like the chicken salad sandwich. It's an open face sandwich, just FYI bc I didn't know prior to ordering. The avocado toast was ok, I don't think it pairs very well with their choice of bread. Or perhaps it was because the bread was not all the way toasted, it was pretty soft. The French toast is pretty good, I like that it doesn't taste eggy. Service was very great and the food comes out very quickly if they aren't busy. read more

Just flew in and was looking for a good breakfast/brunch spot near the airport before driving to our final destination. So glad we found this place! The food was tasty, and the service fantastic! It was very clean and so were the bathrooms. The coffee was delicious and the orange juice was fresh squeezed. Highly recommend! read more

First Watch - Pumpkin pancake breakfast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

You can't go wrong here. A home run every time ! You can eat healthy or not , but regardless of what you order it's FRESH!

Tasty food, healthy options. Lousy service. Generally not worth the ridiculous wait - which it seems they purposely maintain, while making the process as painful ass possible for the patient patrons. Also- super noisy, bad acoustics. Crowded. read more

Great food! We were in a rush and they sat us down quickly. Waitress was very sweet and helpful. The only reason I did t give 5 stars is the service to the table. We had garbage piled and dirty dishes on the table for a long time before it was cleaned out. read more

First time there after watching this place have lines for few years , to be honest with you the food is OK , it's not like cake but the service is much better and that's the reason for the 4 stars , their presentation is nice too , prices are ok , 5 stars ingredients and 2 stars quantities . Over all it's a nice place but I'll never wait in line for that place . read more

First Watch - Multigrain banana granola pancakes- sooo delicious and big! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

It had been a long time since we first enjoyed the awesomeness of First Watch, so up we went on Sunday morning, despite the fears of having to wait in a long line like we first did. Maybe because there are two other locations now (downtown and UCF I believe) or the locals are subscribed to the culture of the newest and/or trendiest, we pleasantly found no line and were instantly seated. I order the chicken chimichanga (chickichanga) and my girlfriend had the Parma hash. They were both delicious. Well, suffice it to say that she tried the chickichanga which has avocado inside, and she loved it, despite hating avocados. We also ordered carrot cake pancake and she liked it a lot. I'm not that big a fan of pancakes, but this one was good enough. Beware though, they are giant pancakes, so just order one if you are going to order any (food is plentiful and will leave you fulfilled). I don't care about traditional diners anymore, because there's no justification to finding good breakfast only in places that look like they've been there forever and smell like old routines and dusty memories. Give me a modern, breezy, airy, fun restaurant design anytime, especially if it's coupled by First Watch's excellent menu. I just wish one would open near Kissimmee. How about Hunter's Creek, First Watch? Don't they deserve one of you? read more

First watch is my GoTo when traveling I've now been to the location in Atlanta, Tennessee, Arizona & Katy, TX plus this Florida location. The food and fresh juice is always consistent across the locations however the customer service, portion size and additional cost varies. We were able to grab a table using NoWait to have breakfast before hitting the road back from Orlando. We were greeted and seated pretty quickly. Our server came over to take our order swiftly and was nice to start. We ordered and our food came out pretty quickly, the issue we experienced which I notice is typical at all locations in any state is that the servers don't come over to check on the tables enough nor do they EVER give napkins outside of the napkin that is set up on the table when you arrive. I Love some First Watch for the fresh juice, open seating plan and variation of farm and garden to the table food atmosphere. read more

Thank God we made a reservation because the place was PACKED when we got there. When we left our hotel there were 17 parties ahead of us. When we checked in there were 8. We were seated within the next 10 minutes. This Nowait.com system was very convenient. Once seated, out waiter was there in a minute. I ordered my son's food (Bacon & Eggs kids menu) which he loves. I ordered the Chorizo omelette (DELICIOUS) and my boyfriend ordered the tacos (sooo delicious it disappeared in seconds). They didn't have root beer :( ....then I ordered from her selection of drinks the Dr. pepper and they were out of that too. :( so I settled for a sprite. Now I'm trying the Kale Tonic to go. My waiter was soooo polite. Her name is SYDNEY!!!! Definitely recommend this spot. read more

Great breakfast here. The food was really good. The service was excellent and we enjoyed it. Our server was nice and attentive.

Smaller location than the one in Altamonte, so waiting for a table was uncomfortable and annoying on a Sunday morning. Service and food, however, are quick and accommodating. My husband and I always get the Eggs Benedict. Lately, they have poached my egg too long and I have been getting hard yolks, but the Hollandaise, turkey, and avocado goodness keeps calling me back. I've stolen a few bites from dishes others have ordered and I've never had a complaint. Their hash, by the way, is too good for ketchup. And try the OJ! read more

Me and my boyfriend try to get something different every time we go! Everything is so damn good! The portions sizes are perfect and it's all pretty healthy too! The only bad thing I could possibly say about this place is that it's only open until 2:30pm! So I gotta have a day off and go early to make sure I get my fill! The juices they make are very tasty too! Be sure to try one! read more

Yelped a Breakfast place & found close to our location First Watch. We have eaten before in Ga area so here we are. Need to mention this is a late review (Jan 17 2016) To start order 2 Day Glow Fresh Juice + 2 regular coffees. We share a Multigrain Pancake Banana Crunch with Strawberries, Wife had Avocado, Bacon. Tomato Hash & I had the Monterrey Club with a side; Tomato Basil Soup. I have been familiar with First Watch in the Atlanta Ga area and They are GOOD. This Place Stay with the same Category of the one we have eaten. Consistency of their food, quality, Temperature. The service is excellent. At the time we arrived (9:50) was full but we did not waited to long to be seated, and even if we have to wait we would not mind :-)) read more

Another great First Watch location! Great location right near Universal and a great breakfast spot. This is definitely not my first experience with First Watch, and this one was just as good as all the others. I was able to check in ahead on time online which helped with the normally long waits. The restaurant is actually pretty large inside and similar to other locations and the staff was also as friendly and attentive as I've come to expect. The food was great as usual, and I was EXTREMELY tempted by their delicious looking seasonal holiday menu. But decided to keep it somewhat healthy and order my usual breakfast sandwich. Overall a great experience that will keep me coming back to First Watch as my go-to breakfast spot. read more

What a great brunch place in the neighborhood to go to on the weekends. This place is always packed and it's only opened until 2:30 pm. It usually has a line out the door very early on the day. We usually do the no wait on Yelp's app to hold our place, so we don't have to wait their the whole time. They offer free coffee on the weekends for people while waiting for a table. Their menu offers a variety of breakfast classics for everyone's cravings. They also offer limited time seasonal menus like pumpkin pancake which is to die for! Tip: always do the no wait thing on the Yelp app to skip wait on site, saved us a lot of time every time. read more

Good breakfast place. We did have about a half hour wait. We sat on the patio area which was pleasant. I honestly don't remember what I ordered. My main reason for writing this review is to praise the hostess Gina. It was very busy, but she was on top of things working things like a pro and smiling the whole time! read more

Busy place generally means awesome food. That's exactly what you get here, filling portions with a surprising twist, a tasty jam for the bread I think... Waitress didn't explain but it was banging. Omlets are large and I've never had turkey sausage but was very tasty. Worth the trip, tip them well they work hard. Would give a 5 stars but was seated a good 10 minutes before anyone came to offer/take drinks for the table. read more

First time in Orlando our dinner waiter recommended us "First Watch". I am glad that we took his adwise. Our order was: eggs benedict florintine and classic style. Also, they have a lot of healthy options on the menu, and surprisingly small plate option which is very rare in the US. The waitress Sheila was wonderful. Great start to our morning!!!! read more

I decided to wake up early and try this central classic breakfast restaurant in the Dr. Phillips. From the beginning to the end, I was being served by Susie with a smile. My favorite thing was how the atmosphere was very inviting from the wooden tables to the water carafe that was served in a glass milk jug. I decided to order a salmon eggs Benedict on ciabiatta bread. The eggs were poached perfectly with the right amount of smoked salmon. The hero of the dish was the side which was the grits. I wish I knew their secret. Definitely ask for Susie. Her hard work has not gone unnoticed. read more
