Great service, excellent food. Even when my eggs weren't cooked the way I asked, the server brought me another plate within five minutes. Will definitely go back. read more

Great breakfast. Only issue for us diabetics. Please serve equal or Splenda instead of the green stevia.

This was the first time I've been to a First Watch. The iced coffee was amazing, our food was great, and it's a relaxing place to eat. I highly recommend the lemon ricotta pancakes. They have a variety of foods at reasonable prices. This makes a great place to work or visit with friends/family. read more

Food was fantastic, but the server was better. Arthur was great, gracious and fast. Thanks Arthur.

Do you like breakfast? Do you like brunch? If you said yes to either of these, you've found the place to visit. First Watch is the current leader (in my opinion) of the chain breakfast/brunch places. Can you do better going to a local place? Yes. Can you do worse for what they serve? Oh so much worse. I like that you can put your name on the list before you leave home. I love their bacon. I love their options, but I usually only get the same thing about 75% of the time (the trifecta if you're wondering) and it's delicious. The things that keep this from being 5 stars? They overload their servers and wait times for both being seated and getting your food are longer than you expect. They've sort of worked on the seating wait by smashing more tables in together and they have SMASHED them together. Be ready to sit within arm's length of people anywhere you sit. You feel for the servers because they are hustling with a lot of tables. Remember to get the bacon. read more

The food was good and filling. They made great over medium eggs and yum biscuits. I wouldn't order the gravy again. I'm glad I got it on the side. The service was average. Good location right next to the airport! read more

A great place to eat by the Orlando Airport. First Watch is a popular restaurant chain that specializes in delicious breakfast, brunch, and lunch options. It was founded in 1983 in Pacific Grove, California, and has since expanded its presence across the United States. Today, it boasts a considerable number of locations, with over 400 restaurants spread across the country. This extensive reach allows customers to find a First Watch conveniently, whether they're in a bustling city or a suburban neighborhood. I have visited at least 4 locations in 2 states. One of the standout features of First Watch is its focus on health-conscious options. The menu includes a variety of nutritious choices, such as egg-white omelets, fresh fruit bowls, and whole-grain pancakes just to name a few. This location was just north of the Orlando Airport and just southeast of the Car Max. It shares the building with 3 other stores. We were greeted as we entered and seated quickly. The restaurant, like many ones in this chain, had windows along 2 walls giving it a light and airy feel. The seating is a mixture of tables and booths. The waitress was friendly and efficient. The menu has a good assortment and plenty of choices. I ordered the traditional breakfast with scrambled eggs. The food came out quickly and was delicious. The cost is reasonable for the amount you get, quality of the food and the pleasant atmosphere. My meal was ~$14 without the drink. Overall, It was a very pleasant, friendly, clean, and delicious experience that I would recommend to people read more

Love me some First Watch!!! Great location, quick and friendly staff. The food is always great here no matter which location I go to. I do find the wait times here are a lot less than others and not as many people especially on a busy Sunday morning like today. We ordered the Tri-Fecta breakfast that comes with either a pancake/waffle with 2 eggs any style, and choice of protein(meat). The other plate was the Farmer's Skillet which comes with roasted potatoes with 2 eggs any style, veggies, toast, and side of fruit. Both great popular choices on the menu (: Great side note: this is located in a new plaza with great shops next door such as ULTA, Five & Below, etc. read more

First Watch has created quite a niche for itself as a breakfast and lunch place. It offers a higher-quality product than say a Denny's, Waffle House or an IHOP (International House of Pancakes) and while priced a bit higher, it offers a superior atmosphere and a better food quality. This particular location is in the Lee Vista Promenade, a nice outdoor mall that is close to Orlando International Airport (MCO), so this place is good for both travelers and locals alike. This mall is nice, well maintained and offer ample parking. In addition to the more traditional breakfasts, First Watch also offers healthy options. I have to say that when I have breakfast out, healthy is not what I am thinking. The omelets are a good choice, as are the eggs Benedict. All in all, a good place to grab breakfast or lunch. read more

I've always enjoyed my meals at First Watch, where the food is consistently fresh and delicious. Today, I tried the whole wheat pancake with banana and almond crunch, which brought back fond memories of the Honey Bunches of Oats cereal I used to love. The biscuits and gravy were delightful, though I would have liked a bit more gravy. The SHISHITO BRISKET HASH bowl was great as well. Despite not being a regular coffee drinker, I always indulge in their coffee because it's simply outstanding. The kale tonic green juice is another must-try. First Watch never disappoints they are always clean and the service is always great! read more

I had great time here catching up with my friends after church. The wait wasn't long was about 15mins. We sat outside since the weather was nice. Didn't realize they served drinks there I had my usual biscuits and gravy and a mimosas. The service was great. The only thing the glasses need to be cleaned a little better we had to request plastic cups to drink out of. Thankfully they were nice about it. I have been to location several times and that was my first time experiencing that. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our meals. read more

My sister chose First Watch for a quick birthday brunch prior to her wedding weekend, so we stopped by to grab some food before the festivities began. For some reason, pumpkin was a big thing already in September (thanks, Starbucks PSL #iykyk) so there were a ton of pumpkin oriented items on the seasonal menu. I wanted something light (I mean, I needed to fit into my bridesmaid dress) so I ordered the power breakfast quinoa bowl. Ok so it still has 800+ calories versus the pesto chicken quinoa alternative's 660 but I was convinced by the ingredients. It was freaking delicious. No wonder it has 880 calories. I got my eggs poached and they were the perfect brunch touch. The roasted crimini mushrooms were meaty and savory and added so much depth to the flavor alongside the kale and tomatoes. The Italian sausage was also pretty tasty, although I wouldn't have missed it in the bowl. It was super filling (I could barely finish it) and I would definitely order again. So maybe next time I'll order bacon and pancakes. But for now, I may stick these gluten free power bowls! read more

This review is long overdue. Stopped by during my FL visit with family and everyone had a nice time. There was a bit of a wait but we added our name to the list. To our surprise, our table was ready within the allotted time (35-40mins). We were promptly greeted and seated. Our server was fantastic. Drinks and food were spot on. Definitely worth the trip if you're new in town or visiting - I do recommend. read more

The only thing that wasn't good was the fact that I landed and then immediately went to eat and forgot i'm lactose intolerant and had a whole bunch of stuff that could make me lwk gassy and had the strawberry french toast which is really good but then i felt some pain, more of the story is I'm sorry for clogging your toilet. read more

Oh boy, when it comes to the service this place is a hit or miss. You'll either get great or lackluster service. Same goes for the food. I love that they serve a coffee pot when you want coffee, but although they have alot on the menu, not much of it is appealing to me. Alot of it seems like variations of the same exact thing. They made my eggs wrong (but the server fixed it which was nice on her)... the grits were watered down. I've had good food here but nothing ever blown me away. read more

We checked in online then got to the restaurant a few minutes later. They sat us basically immediately because we wait we were willing to sit outside. We unfortunately didn't see a server for a good 5-10 minutes after we sat down. We ordered The Works Omlette with potatoes as the side, and the stack of two chocolate chip pancakes. We also got cranberry juice and iced coffee. The omelette was great! Filled with a lot of cheese and meats. We really really enjoyed the potatoes that came as a side to the omlette. Our only complaint with the omlette is that it was a little on the small side. The pancakes were great! We really enjoyed the multigrain flavor and texture of them and of course the chocolate chips were yummy. The pancakes were a good size for what you pay for. The coffee and juice were also great, we will be back soon! read more

Love this location. Got seated right away. We ordered the million dollar bacon to start with a morning cocktail. Both were delicious, server forgot my boyfriend's drink but made up for it by bringing us another cocktail on the house. As our main entree we got tacos and i ordered the burrito off the specials menu. The portions are perfect not too little and not too much. Anything you order there will not disappoint. read more

I'm surprised I've never reviewed this place. I enjoy breakfast at first watch and I prefer this location. On the weekends it can be very very busy. I'm happy that they know offer alcoholic drinks as well. I really like the cereal milk with cinnamon, rum and coconut. It has changed a but since I first tried it, it's alot less alcohol. The avocado mash is always delicious and I love the specialty pancakes. Just recently tried the cinnamon pancakes but my favorite were the pumpkin pancakes read more

Stopped for breakfast after seeing pulmonary doctor at the VA to celebrate after great results (no cancer). My wife had the Belgian Waffle and was just ok with it. I had the BLT Benedict and it was good, not great. We both had hot tea. The seating and service was just ok. My wife received syrup for the waffle as she was completing her waffle. Our first experience was better and today they were not as busy. They are somewhat overpriced and we knew that going there. To be honest, not really worth the price. read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick spot to grab some brunch after a long morning of traveling and rental car lines ‍ This place had something for everyone, breakfast sandwiches, burritos, omelettes, French toast and FRESH juices!! The purple lavender haze and the cranberry crush juices were so refreshing! We tried the seasonal burrito -- SO GOOD! And the Turkey burger with soup, yum!! Definitely a reasonably priced place for the amount of food and family friendly, definitely check it out in your travels!! read more

Fast service and good food. I had the BLT Benedict it was delicious though the two poached eggs were extra small.

Wost service. The food was not horrible but not worth it the 30 minutes in line we had to wait to get our order.

Brunch can be hit or miss. I am a big fan of traditional breakfast but went for something different since on vacation. It didn't wow me like I thought it would based on reviews. It was just ok... I am generally good about keeping expectations at bay especially when in Orlando but was expecting a better brunch than this. I probably wouldn't be back for more if I can find an alternative nearby. We tried the million dollar bacon and that was okay. A little on the too sweet side. The quinoa bowl was nice and the poutine bowl was way heavy. read more

Friendly staff, good service and great price. Food is pretty good and healthier picks. Chill vibe.

A family favorite pick for breakfast, brunch, and even lunch! The various waiters and waitresses we've encountered have always been friendly and checked in frequently -- even on the busiest of days. I appreciate how the mugs are already set up at the table, and when you are first greeted at your table the hot coffee pot is already in your server's hands. I need the coffee asap! First watch has a wide variety of breakfast menu options, whether you're in the mood for savory, sweet or want to skip straight to lunch with their 2 For You deal that can't be beat. However what excites me to come back is how they continuously have new seasonal items to try. I've enjoyed everything I have ordered and ready to return for more! read more

Booths are much more comfortable than tables with nice cushions. Lighting is excellent. Noise and acoustics poor due to corrugated metal bare ceiling. They call it first watch but might have been subbed longest wait... that said, you can join the wait list from Yelp and hang out in your car--listening to tunes; having a smoke; or playing referee with your--or even worse, someone else's rugrats. Tomato soup was piping hot and the half soup half salad was a pleasant lunch for the indecisive and health conscious. They forgot the feta cheese but it didn't diminish the experience. The soup had chunks of tomato, spiced well, not sweet and not too salty. Sprite got chocolate chip pancake was a little dry but tasted swell; and might have been helped with a handful of chocolate chips hurled atop. Ornery, aloof and disaffected teenager got the chickamunga and said it was "one of the best foods he's ever eaten" before turning back to his iPhone and sharing a quip with a non-disclosed virtual friend. The lemon ricotta pancakes were a welcomed surprise as my daughter was uneasy about her choice. The pancakes came with three 'blobs' of a thick, vibrant, yellow custard along with around a dozen cut up strawberries. When cutting into the pancakes they were quite flaky but this was only due to the fact that they were airy. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The combination was made to its fullest potential by smearing some of the custard onto of a piece and adding a strawberry. In conclusion, the risk paid off and they were quite enjoyable. read more
