Had a large party of 16 on a holiday Monday and we opted to wait so we could be seated together. Unfortunately there is not a lot of room near the entrance, so my party definitely felt we were in the way and the host working the front seemed annoyed with our presence. Upon finally being seated, however, our server Daniella was heavenly. She did a great job getting us everything we needed and her shining personality was a delight. She truly made us feel valued. Inside, the restaurant is cheery with plenty of natural light. The styling is modern, country chic. Our food came out with impressive swiftness. I added the Million Dollar potatoes, which was my favorite dish. That parmesan cream sauce with the Million Dollar Bacon, amazing! The cheesy grits were also really good. The biscuits and gravy were mid. For breakfast it's a bit pricey for me, but the tastiness and variety of appetizing options are, for the most part, worth it. read more

First Watch is always a fun option for us on Sundays just after Church. I would highly recommend going on to their website and 'getting in line'. This is a wonderful feature that ensures your wait time upon arrival to the restaurant is minimal (just be ready to see the confused faces of the other restaurant visitors when you walk past them and get seated ahead of them). The restaurant itself has a very casual ambiance about it. Even the sink to the restrooms is 'fun' (they are located immediately OUTSIDE the restrooms, so if you just want to wash your hands before you eat, you don't need to go inside the restroom at all!) The food: PESTO CHICKEN QUINOA BOWL. My second choice is the Eggs Benedict here. But that Pesto Chicken? That's a game-changer. Wonderful flavor, generous portion size... always my first choice! read more

First Watch is a great place to go to relax and have an endless cup of coffee (along with some good food). I love that the waitress asked if i wanted a to-go cup for my coffee when we were ready to leave. **Hint: When you're on your way to the restaurant, go to the Website and click on "get in line". read more

Overall a great experience at First Watch. We have been to several locations in the past and first time visiting this one. The food and service was great. My daughter enjoyed her kids meal, but of course has taken some nibbles from our plates. I would suggest always checking out the seasonal items as they are only around for a limited time. read more

I don't get in the mood for breakfast too often, but when I do, First Watch is a place that's on my list. They have some elevated options including Benedicts and their "Million Dollar Bacon", which doesn't really cost a million dollars. They glaze it with something, so it's a little sweet for my taste. Anyway, the Benedicts have always come out with a perfect egg on top. The salad it comes with is also good and who would have thought Salad for Breakfast is a thing? It can get pricey so it's more of an occasional stop over IHOP and Denny's. It's been a while since I've been here, but I'll have to hit one up again soon! read more

Came in today on the way to Bestbuy - got the works omelet with potatoes and toast. Our server JuJu was on point. Took our order quickly and the food was here so fast. Noticed on Yelp that this location has NO health code violations - I like that and it is hard to do. The ambiance is relatively quiet for such a large dinning area, light music playing in the background read more

First time going to this First Watch location. There is usually a big line to get in on the weekends but I visited during the week so we were able to sit as soon as we got there. The establishment is big and spacious. My friend and I ordered avocado toasts and black coffee. We ordered our eggs to be scrambled and they brought us omelettes but we didn't say anything since we didn't have enough time to wait for them to do them again. Even though it wasn't exactly what we asked, We both enjoyed our meals. Portion size is normal. Customer service was nice except for the fact that forgot our orders. read more

Did a pickup order the other day. I ordered the Steak and Egg Hash, Over Medium, No Roasted Onions. It was easy to pickup an online order, it was ready and waiting on the shelf when I came in no contact necessary and I was still greeted by an employee. The food was good but I was annoyed that there were onions when I requested no onions. Thankfully I'm not allergic so I could still consume the food. There aren't many parking options as the building next door has many spots reserved for that business. There is minimal parking in front and back of First Watch. Maybe I say minimal because it was just packed. read more

First watch has to be one of my favorite breakfasts/brunch locations in Orlando! This location is probably the biggest I've ever visited. The tables were filled, so you know the food is good! This visit I ordered the seasonal Carne Asada breakfast tacos, and wow, do I wish this was a year-round menu option! Made with corn tortillas, scrambled eggs, Carne Asada, pickled onions, sliced avocado, cilantro, and pico de gallo, as well as a side of black beans. (It also comes with a hot sauce creama, which I removed. I ordered lemon and sour cream on the side, to make lemon creama to add on top.) and of course we had to get the million dollar bacon! I've said it before and I'll say it again, first watch has my favorite hot coffee as an iced coffee lover and remains the only place I will order hot coffee! I also ordered their purple haze drink, which is sweet and tangy and refreshing all the way around! Highly recommend for your next breakfast or brunch meal! read more

Love first watch all the time we just went for Valentine's Day. My son got to do to the lecture French toast was super good and it's coming with like a Kelly's ice cream that they made like a limited edition thing. The ice cream is so delicious. I always get just a classic French toast, but we love this place so we go at least once a week. read more

Ok so for starters the food, I got a tomato basil soup with grilled cheese, the grilled cheese was very buttery and crispy and the soup was amazing. We also ordered double bacon Parmesan hash that was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the Monterey club, I wouldn't order it again but it was also equally very good. The pancakes were also amazing and so were the multi grain ones. The service was excellent and the waiter was super quick, friendly and helpful. And ambiance was super lively. This place definitely lives up to its hype! read more

I've been to first watch many times so I pretty much know what to expect. I been to this location a few times but this time the service was super slow. We had to ask several times for napkins, coffee etc . The food was great. I got my usual bacado omelet which was really good. Parking can be a pain as it fills up fast with the nearby stores. read more

Always very packed, but worth the wait. Great food & service. Loved the morning meditation juice.

My family loves First Watch, so whenever I'm in town, we make sure to stop by for breakfast. My breakfast is always traditional, but I do enjoy pairing it with their delicious cocktails. Our server was super friendly and attentive. Drinks and plates arrived promptly. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. This spot is pretty casual yet cozy. read more

I have dined here many times since they opened and unfortunately the quantity of food has gone down and the price has gone up. I know corporate controls the prices, but the amount of food should not be adjusted, as well. This location has very high ceilings and gets so incredibly loud when the restaurant is full. So loud that sitting right next to my friend at a table in the middle of the restaurant, we were yelling to be heard by one another. I ordered the brisket hash. It was very tasty, and I liked the addition of pickled onions. The dish could have been elevated with some sort of sauce component. Service was very fast, and food came out super fast. But unfortunately, we felt so rushed to get up from the table and it be turned over. I met a friend here for breakfast and struggled to enjoy our breakfast visiting. Good for a quick breakfast. read more

We went out for breakfast and wanted to try the new fall menu. We walked in and there was a small wait but we were seated with a smile and the service was outstanding. Everyone we interacted with were very pleasant and welcoming. They had new chairs in half the restaurant and we were in the new section. The chairs were much more comfy than the older ones. Usually when you go out to a restaurant and order something it does not look as good as the picture. My croissant sandwich was so good but very messy and full of food. I would recommend taking the eggs, sausage and bacon off then reconstruct the sandwich to make it more manageable if you don't like to be too messy eating. This sandwich was easily one of favorites to ever have here. The hash was also great and looked just like the picture. Great experience. read more

This particular First Watch location serves the Waterford Lakes area of east Orlando. First Watch is just one of multiple chain restaurants that put an emphasis on breakfast (what many call the most important meal of the day) and elevates what was once the normal greasy spoon diner experience as the norm for a breakfast experience and gives it a more upscale and comfortable ambiance. The service (at least during my visit) was professional and friendly and only added to my overall dining experience. First Watch has a decent menu that offers a nice selection and allows for different tastes and most should be able to find something to their liking on the menu. I would definitely recommend this particular location of First Watch. read more

I've had first watch before at a different location for the first time and I really enjoy the food. But coming to the location for the first time on a Saturday morning was different, I do understand it was busy and there's probably a rush of big groups of family. What I specifically had an issue with is when me and my friend came in we received no acknowledgement from the two hosts/server, we were in direct view of them and said hello. What they choose to do instead is greet the people that came in after us meanwhile we were standing there for more than five minutes and they seated them. They gave no eye contact or at least a response to getting to us eventually and after waiting there for a while we just decided to leave. read more

I met a friend for breakfast here on a Thursday and it wasn't busy at all, which was nice. We walked right in and sat down. The ambiance was nice, and the service was fast. I ordered the Belgium Waffle, which was soft, fluffy, and delicious. I only used butter and syrup for it, but it does come with fruit compote if you'd like to add that on as well. I kept my breakfast simple, they're were no sides, but it was so big I didn't even finish it. My friend got the Biscuits and Gravy and the side of potatoes, and she loved them. If you're looking for good quality, fresh food with nice service, then this is your place! read more

Definitely my favorite breakfast chain. I've been to several and they have all been clean and well run with great service. The food is always fresh. Portions are huge. I love that they make real omelets and not egg scrambles with filling mixed in. The chorizo omelet is great with just a bit of heat, good amount of chorizo, avocado and cheese. And I love their potatoes. The lemon ricotta pancakes are pretty unique, delicious, and super filling. We finally got the churros and wow are they great. Better than that theme park down the road. My only wish is that they had a killer chicken salad for lunch. read more

TL;DR-- Tons of variety on the menu and it's pretty much all excellent, service is great, but parking can be annoying. First Watch is always a great place for breakfast if you aren't looking for the full "brunch experience." With their rotating cocktails, it feels like brunch without technically being brunch. I've been to this location fairly often and often get the avocado toast, but I also like to try other items on the menu, and few items (if any) have disappointed me. The service is always excellent, and always keep your coffee cup full (unless you request otherwise). The decor is more or less the same as every other location I've been to-- the music isn't too loud for conversation, which I always appreciate. There are also a lot of windows to allow for lots of natural lighting. The only downsides to this location are that parking in the immediate vicinity is very limited (though there is ample parking nearby a very short walk away), and with all of the windows, there is very visible construction right next door, where the Chuy's building was just torn down and that lot is still a mess (but that's hardly the fault of First Watch). read more

An average and bustling place for weekend brunch :) even though there's other local places to visit for brunch, I do find myself reaching for First Watch as it's consistent and a fun atmosphere, especially on the weekend. Super friendly, quick service, and a wide variety of classics but also creative breakfast dishes. I got the trifecta and enjoyed it, but do order your eggs one level more cooked than you like-- "over medium" became over easy as expected so account for that! Otherwise, always a lovely time here for a quick brunch. read more

It has been years since I have visited any First Watch location, I don't remember why I stopped going because the food was super good when we went over this past weekend. I feel like I've been missing out! The bloody mary's weren't all that great, but the rest of the food was really good. We had the bacon avocado omelet and the avocado toast. Both were very good portion sizes and prepared very nicely. The star of the show was defiantly the million dollar potatoes though. I look forward to returning. read more

Cute little restaurant for a quick bite. Spacious, semi comfy booth seating. Came in last week, and was greated by a young lady in the front and asked how many I said four 2 adults & 2 kids we were immediately seated and our waitress took our drink orders. We started with coffee then ordered our food. I was bummed that the pancakes were made large. I really wanted to order one but our waitress said they were very big. Purple Haze|$5.29| Lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender. Kids Granola |$7.99| Traditional Breakfast |$12.29 My only quams were the purple haze was overly sweet and the lavendar flavor was way too pungent. My egg also tasted not fully cooked for being scrambled. Prices were fair. Nice ambiance, friendly staff. Will try again once I am back in Orlando. read more

I love first watch! Specially when they have their fall menu! This is actually my first time coming to this location and I was very impressed. Jess who took care of us as soon as walked through the door was amazing and attentive. We were to sit right away but we chose the bar area which I loved about this location! It was empty and we had the whole area to ourselves. Our server Mellade I believe (may have misspelled it) she was amazing! Her energy was amazing and I loved how friendly she was! We enjoyed ourselves with her! Couldn't have asked for a better server! Food: Cinnamon spice churros 5/5 Barbacoa quesadilla Benedict 5/5 - this was delicious omg the sauce was the best part of this. This dish is on the fall menu! Highly recommend. Million dollar harvest hash 5/5 - so good and enough food to take home or for two to share! This dish is also on the fall menu hurry before it is gone! The crispy potatoes and sweet potatoes topped with arugula and with goat cheese were super tasty. I loved this location the energy from all the girls we encountered was amazing! read more

Does this look like $4 worth of avocado? Cause First Watch certainly thinks so. I'm not sure why I continue to order from this specific location, every other First Watch is amazing. But this one, somehow always manages to leave me disappointed. Usually my order is completely wrong or packaged sloppy. But this $4 avocado sent me over the edge. Terrible that a chef or manager would let this be the standard they're serving. read more

We had a group of 11 for breakfast at 10 AN on Thursday. Service was excellent. Server very attentive. All good served sequentially so it was nice and hot. First cities steel cut oat meal with fruit and nuts and brown sugar and reduced fat milk and a blueberry muffin. It was great. Very filling and healthy. Oatmeal cooked perfectly. Fruit of bananas and strawberries fresh and sweet. Blueberry muffin fresh and tasty. Coffee very good. Only complaint I heard from the group was a person didn't like the chicken sausage but liked the pancake and eggs. . read more

I went to this location today to try their new fall menu for breakfast. My father and I were able to sit immediately and order quickly. The options were delicious and the staff was attentive. Our server even had a pot of coffee ready when she greeted us. I don't get the chance to eat here often because of their early hours but when I can come, I am a big fan of their Farmhouse Hash. So I tried the seasonal Million Dollar Hash today. It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory with sweet potatoes, goat cheese, lemon dressed arugula and Mikes Hot Honey. The eggs were a perfect over easy and I ate every last bite. I saw some other interesting items on the fall menu that I am excited to come back to try. read more

I always enjoy going to First Watch. Rarely do I order anything that I don't end up liking. Unfortunately, this visit was different. I ordered an egg white wrap (I think it was the power wrap) and I didn't quite enjoy it, only finished half of it. But, to no fault of First Watch. I just don't think I like egg whites... I've tried so hard over the last 1-2 months to eat more egg white, versus the whole egg, and it's just not the same! The saving grace was the pico de gallo that they serve with it (could maybe give a little more) which helped with the flavor. Of course, their potatoes are always on point! Get the potatoes, always. The Salads are a good second if you don't want potatoes. I also got the Red Medicine Juice. It had pomegranate, cranberry, black tea, and some other ingredients - it was delicious! read more

Disappointing visit to this normally great breakfast chain. We were table of seven and got seated immediately. After a few minutes waiter took our drink order. After 20 minutes waitress retook our drink order and finally food order. After 30 minutes we spoke to who we thought was manager who responded by saying they were short handed and it had only been 35 minutes. We then explained the original lost order. When food finally arrived it was 20 minutes from when the first person in our our party to the 7th person got their food. Everyone at our table mostly enjoyed the food. My chikichanga was spicy and very tasty. My wife got the BLT Eggs Benedict which she said was good but was served a little on the cold side. We look forward to our next visit being a much better experience. read more
