This restaurant has been a family favorite for years. It is a bit crowded at times but the line goes through quickly every time. You get added to their virtual queque and can wait near the benches they have outside. They send an initial waitlist text and then when you are next in line. Yesterday I went in solo and per usual had a very friendly waitress. Instead of sweet I was in the mood for some savory and ordered the Elevated Egg Sandwich that comes with their freshly made breakfast potatoes. I loved the sandwich it came with a runny egg, rich gruyère cheese, thick crispy slices of bacon, mashed avocado, and a unique component was the arugula with lemon dressing, that added a complimenting zesty flavor, all in between a freshly toasted brioche bun. My only critiquing comment would be the potatoes had more than usual burnt bits that I pushed to the side. Other than that this is now one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches in Orlando. If you are in the Dr.Philips/Universal area looking for an awesome brunch spot be sure to visit this location! The food and staff always provide a great experience to start out your day! read more

I love this place. I was in Orlando for vacation, and having eaten at one locally, we stopped in with high expectations. This location did not disappoint. The food and wait staff were awesome. I typically get the avocado toast for the portion size and taste. They serve Coke products. read more

First Watch - Avocado Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

First time here and my food was amazing!! The wait time was ok, like 5min for party of 2. We ordered coffee, the have creamers on demand (half and half, oat milk and hazelnut). A bit hungover and ordered the Pineapple Express Juice with a boost of vitamins Ordered the Spring dish "Chorizo Sandwich" , chorizo patty, egg, cheese avocado and pico de gallo. My sister ordered Benedict Salmon and Egg (la hollandaise sauce was a bit stale but with a little salt all good).

Love, love, love First Watch! Our experience was phenomenal. I highly recommend using their online queue to reserve your spot on the waitlist because there is always a long line at the front door. (Not complaining, high quality comes with high demand!) Our service was phenomenal, but so was our food. I had the breakfast skillet and my fiancé had a classic breakfast. Both dishes were packed with flavor, but the highlight of our experience was the seasonal juice!!! It tastes just like fall! It was phenomenal. Great location, great food, excellent service! read more

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

Always a pleasure stopping here. Staffing are super sweet. Clean establishment. Amazing breakfast.

Searching for a breakfast spot, and you see that you can make reservations online? It must be a good thing right? Luckily, this is what happened to me As I finish my Orlando trip, my last day was spent eating breakfast before I spend a few hours at the airport and then a few hours flying home. I make reservations for this location. And make the short drive there. The parking lot was busy and there were about 30 people waiting outside. I thought to myself "well, luckily I have a few hours..." However, I checked in and waited outside. Luckily for me, since I made reservations/e-wait in line, my wait was not long This location inside was busy. The servers were friendly but you could tell they were there working hard. I ordered the classic biscuits and gravy since it is the best way to judge a location. My food was amazing! The gravy was flavorful and the biscuit was one of the best I've ever had I am a huge fan of this location and food and will be back soon! read more

The food was amazing! The price for a family of four. Two adults. One kid. One baby. Was the same cost as the local IHOP and we got fresh fruit, a seasonal menu, steak and eggs! And the customer service was phenomenal. Our waitress Denise was super sweet and we highly recommend this place. Thank you! read more

I will begin by saying the Sandlake First Watch location is very clean and staff are very friendly. Now, as far as the food is concerned, I'm afraid I can't be as generous with my observation. My daughter wanted to treat me for brunch so we went into First Watch around 12:30pm. We decided to split a savory dish and a sweet option. We ordered the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast and the Turkey Sausage & Biscuits with a side of their Breakfast Potatoes and two Over Easy eggs. To our disappointment, the French Toast was NOT made with the Texas Toast or Brioche slices traditionally used for French Toast recipes. Instead we were served regular sliced bread which actually does not hold well when adding loads of toppings. It was tasty but one hot mess on the plate. The Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy was absolutely awful. Not sure how to describe the taste, but maybe if you think how rosemary brunt in lard would taste, you will have an idea of how awful the taste was. The biscuit was hard and tasted stale, to say the least. Thinking the breakfast potatoes would be better we tried those out. The potatoes were just as bad, which leads me to believe some type of old & burnt oil was used for both menu items. I won't even bother to describe the over-easy eggs, let's just say I didn't touch them. The server was very nice, but ironically knew I was going to say the food tasted as if it were cooked in old oil or lard. This is a huge issue seeing my daughter & I don't eat pork. We were offered another option so we decided to try the Summer menu Lemon Blueberry Cornbread with a lemon butter scoop on the side. We took a bite and decided to take it home to see if it would be any better actually warmed! The take away from all of this, would have been nice if the Manager cared enough to come over and apologize for the awful food being served. Choosing First Watch ruined my daughter's outing with me. I was grateful to be out with her, but she felt very disappointed and embarrassed. Not cool seeing there a hundred other options to choose in the area. read more

This is my 6th time visiting this First Watch location in Orlando. I've been to several others near home, but this location is my go to staff are great always happy to assist with anything always have bright smiles just a great environment to be able to sit down and converse, and the experience was just as great as always. I ordered one of my usual dishes, and as expected, the flavor and quality did not disappoint. I was greeted by the GM while eating he did rounds asking how everything was like a real establishment should be ran and he was also working hard like his team running around I appreciate your kindness first watch team read more

Going to keep this review on the briefer side, but I'm really happy to see this First Watch location is rocking it again! They consistently do a great job.

Food was great, flavors blended well. I'd been in Florida a week and this was the first nice morning and sat outside on the patio. Lots of birds scavenging but they don't seem to bother the table until people leave. There was a 10 minute wait to be greeted but other than that service was fine. Would recommend if you're in the area! read more

First Watch - Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos and buttered grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Decided to get some breakfast today so we dropped into our typical spot at First Watch in Dr.Phillips. It is usually busy in this quant open windowed location, but today was slower than usual. It is a very open seating arrangement and sometimes loud depending on how many people are there. We were seated quickly and it took a minute for the waitress to come over. When she arrived she seemed like she was busy and we ordered coffee, then browsed for the food. For food I chose from the tinier limited menu they have seasonally and got the Steak and Bacon burrito while my partner got pancakes which she wanted strawberry preserves for. When the food arrived they forgot the preserves and the waitress never came back so we had to ask the kitchen staff for some. My burrito though was perfect and beautiful as you can see pictured. It was delicious with ranchero sauce, hollandaise sauce, purple onions, and avocado on top. Inside you had scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, cheese, bacon, and steak. All was cooked perfectly and the flavor combination was delicious. I believe today's service was an off day, but the food is always good! read more

Great menu, the coffee was really good, the staff were so nice and friendly! I loved the decor and color scheme.

Good and ambiance was welcoming. The wait on a Saturday for 4 was less than 10 minutes. Very friendly staff and they gave great suggestions. You have to have the Morning Meditation juice; it has beet juice and orange juice combined and it's very refreshing. The Chorizo omelette is so good and just the right amount of spice. My wife loved the Trifecta meal with the waffle. They accommodated us well with our infant son with his car seat. read more

We were visiting the area and decided to stop in for a later breakfast. We arrived around 10:30am and while there was a slight wait we were seated within 10 minutes. The restaurant itself was clean and I loved the decor and minor details that they highlighted which only added to the experience. The service was wonderful, and our waitress was attentive to our requests and checked in an additional 2-3 times. The food AND drinks were amazing and we will definitely be back the next time we are in the area! read more

First Watch - Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This place offers fresh cooked cinnamon buns.We went there when they opened and were served within 10 minutes of sitting down and the bun was rock hard I asked if they made them fresh in the morning and he said no. They had no food set up before opening it's the weirdest thing I've ever heard in my life. Personally I'm pretty pissed off they claim they have fresh food but they don't make it fresh daily. They do not make their cinnamon buns fresh daily as advertised so be careful. Fresh is better....not yesterday's food at today's pricing. We spent over $50 for two of us to eat and we didn't get fresh food. read more

Love love love this breakfast place. The lemon ricotta pancakes are mouth-watering! The stuffed omelet is very nice. I recommend this place. The atmosphere is really good and the service was very fast and efficient. read more

My sister and I were looking for a place to have brunch. We decided to choose this place after our first option had a waiting of 35 minutes. She loved her burger but I wasn't that much into my choosing . The sauce didn't have that much flavor and the salmon tasted off. My meal was a 5:10 and hers was a 10/10. Don't recommend mine but feel free to choose any other thing (pancakes were very big) read more

I was impressed by the photos of this spot but was disappointed when I went in person and all the omelets were browned. The photos the business owner posted are NOT accurate to what you actually get. I'm particular about my eggs and was sorely disappointed when my eggs came out crispy. I am not a fan of diner omelets and this was a diner omelet. I guess it's hard to slow cook eggs with high volume. I asked for a recook and it came out much better but I could still tell it was cooked at a very high heat. I tried the bacado which was pretty good. The avocado was a little browned but I enjoyed the omelet as a whole. I also tried the steel cut oats. I was a little disappointed that the "berries" were just strawberries. I was hoping for raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries, too. I saw a fruit salad that had more berries than the oatmeal. The kale tonic was good, super sweet I am hoping from the apple juice. The service was good, the food was decent. I was overall pleased with my experience here. read more

I'm definitely giving this place a solid 5 starts. This was my first time at First Watch and it did not disappoint! Their concept is very similar to Keke's and it is just as good. This specific location is in Dr. Phillips @Plaza Venezia, it it was a good 20 minute drive for me. The staff was GREAT. Our server was very attentive and customer driven, always checking on us every few minutes. I had the Shrimp and Grits and it was fantastic. Perfect ration of savory sausage and delicious grilled shrimp over cheese grits...I will definitely have this again (soon), since its only a seasonal menu item. My Son had the chorizo sunrise sandwich and said it was excellent. Overall, it was a great meal experience and will definitely come back. Hint - It is a very busy location and it's always packed, so try the online check in! read more

Brunch at First Watch was a great experience. High energy, positive vibe , friendly and happy staff!! Another Yelp recommendation! Everything made with fresh and organic produce. I am definitely going to go back before leaving Orlando. You may have to wait a bit , but it's worth it! * * We Ordered : THE ELEVATED EGG SANDWICH : An over-easy cage-free egg with bacon, Gruyere cheese, fresh smashed avocado, mayo and lemon dressed arugula on a brioche bun. Served with fresh, seasoned potatoes. FARM STAND BREAKFAST TACOS : Three wheat- corn tortillas with scrambled eggs, Cajun chicken, chorizo, Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Topped with fresh avocado and housemade pico de gallo. Served with seasoned black beans. MILLION DOLLAR BACON : Bacon drizzled with maple syrup. AMAZING! FRESHLY SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE read more

Came here with a friend for lunch around 11am and place was pretty packed. As I was looking at the menu and my eyes just went straight to the lunch deal they had for a soup and sandwich. I had asked the waitress what was in one of the sandwich. She told me it's whatever was on the regular menu above and pointed at it (which I didn't see). She said it in a rude way and my experience with that didn't settle so well. Also, we were still eating while she placed our bill in the middle of the table. Service could have been a bit better. Soup was alright, nothing too special and the sandwich I ordered was good. I would get that sandwich again. Also I ordered a green drink, which I enjoyed. I had it at a different location before. read more

First watch never disappoints! I always like to find something from their seasonal menu. We had never tried the Million $ Bacon - they had it on their seasonal menu, which is on the regular menu and didn't notice till after - OH, the trickery! Anywhoooo, if you like bacon, try it! It's dangerously guuuud. Consider yourself warned. For my main course, I had the Short Rib Benny, but had mine with scrambled eggs instead and it was absolutely delicious. read more

Love this place for posting the calories on their online menu!!! Ordered Uber eats. Food came packaged well. No issues there. Healthy options available. Got the market hash, which is a ton of calories, and the power bowl, which is much less calories. Both breakfast were hot when they arrived. They included silverware. The side of turkey sausage was good too. My only complaint is they did not include any butter with the toast. Hot sauce would've made everything better. I wish they served bottled water so I could order that for my to go order. read more

We have been coming to this first watch for many years. I'm not sure why I had an average rating, it's definitely exceptional here. Food quality is great and like other first watch locations, it does get quite busy especially on the weekends. The location has definitely lost its ability to perform well, after Stacy left - the kitchen gets backed frequently so don't expect food to come in a timely manner, even when it is not busy. Super disappointing since this location is the closest to my house. read more

This is a confusing place to be because I feel like it's very organic and like fresh eating. The menu doesn't look so appetizing unless that's the type of food you like to eat. However, I was already there, so I was going to get something. I got that farmhouse like a bowl or whatever it was it comes with eggs and home fries, and there's like bacon bits in it guacamole Tomatoes Etc onions. I didn't expect it to be that good, but oh my God, the food here is. I didn't expect it to be that good, but oh my God, the food here is delicious. I did get a mimosa and it was terrible they use Barefoot bubbly and then freshly squid orange juice so everything is so bitter it does not have the type of enjoyment that you want a mimosa to have but I did order a glass of their sangria and poured a little bit of that into my mimosa which made it super delicious. Maybe that's something they can add to their menu. However, as soon as I tasted the bitterness, I automatically assumed that they freshly squeezed their oranges, which I was right. It was kind of weird to me that we got sat in the far back corner away from everybody else but it is what it is maybe that's how they do their seating, the service was a bit slow for us as well it took a while for us to get checked on but the server was okay. I didn't feel that hospitality and that I usually get when I go anywhere. So all in all the food is really good, service is mediocre, atmosphere is amazing and I don't suggest getting mimosas from here. However they're Sangria's are definitely delicious. read more

Excellent breakfast spot!! Very friendly staff and extremely fresh food. My Bloody Mary was deliciously spicy and came with a slice of their Million Dollar Bacon, which could have been crispier for my personal taste but my husband raved about it. I got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and it was amazing. The eggs were expertly poached and the lemony hollandaise complimented the smoked salmon perfectly. My husband's omelette looked really good and he loved that there were HUGE chunks of veggies in it. We'll definitely be returning every time we come back to Orlando. read more

**This review is based on 2 delivery experiences and one take out experience.** Let's start with the great! Both times we've decided on First Watch, the food has been impeccable! Fresh, great healthy options (not your boring healthy--versus typical all greens/no meats), and flavor to remember! The service we experienced at the door for pickup was quick and hospitable, so nothing negative to note there. What hasn't been the greatest is the delivery experience. The first delivery time was great and quick. The second one, this past week--the time stated online was 30-40mins, reasonable. I check out, pay, and then on the "expected delivery time" it turned immediately to 90-120mins--didn't arrive until and hour and fifteen mins later. That is unacceptable especially when you can't take back a delivery order without being charged for it. Make sure to update your expected times, so you don't lose business. I don't plan on returning any time soon--deliver, take out, or in house honestly. The restaurant didn't even attempt reaching out for the delay and not one apology. It was quite disappointing. read more

Food was ok however we sat and had a line of ants on the bench all around us. Also along the wall and they even keep seating people in that area and didn't bother to clean it. They said it's due to the sugar packets of the coffee. We asked to move which was accommodating. I was surprised that our check had no discount no manager to apologize at our table. It just seemed business as usual. Health code violation for sure. Just felt something else could have been done not just for us but for future guest coming in. Not sure if I will be back and I live just down the street. It's a bit of a shame as I always enjoyed my past visits. read more

Awesome service and quick to be seated. The breakfast quesadilla was great Fun atmosphere read more

Great place for breakfast/brunch! Clean & well lit restaurant with tons of options and a "healthier side" menu. I got the tri-athlete, it's an egg white omlette with mushroom, green chilies and onions, with toast, fruit preserves and fruit cup. I added a side of sausage. The kale tonic (Fuji apple, kale, lemon & English cucumbers) was refreshing and not too sweet! read more

Fun local breakfast spot over in Dr. Phillips restaurant row area. Went on a weekend sand despite the place being packed, we were sat very quickly. Don't turn away just because you see a crowd at the door, they move fast! Breakfast options were plentiful and not just your typical breakfast fare. My Chikichanga was delicious and was large enough to share. My husbands Farmhouse Hash was also enjoyed and we loved how everything tasted and looked super fresh (I mean look at that avocado!). One star off for the sheer volume in this place. It was loud and chaotic and the booth we sat in had crayon scribbles on the table and wall. I would absolutely recommend some acoustic panels in this place to absorb the noise. Otherwise great local breakfast spot! read more

We chose to sit outside and the weather was amazing, the patio had hanging lights and was so cute for brunch with friends. We got sat almost immediately even on a Sunday with the church rush. The cinnamon toast cereal cocktail was so delicious and a perfect start to the morning. The million dollar potatoes were creamy and to die for! The flower power pesto bowl was also super yummy! My fiancé had an omelet that unfortunately was a little bland and missing some flavor but other than that we could not complain! read more
