    If you're craving a nice breakfast restaurant with just the perfect portions, First Watch is your place to go. But, depending on the day and time you go, just be prepared to wait a little bit. It will be worth it. We haven't been in a little while and there have been a few changes to the menu, but still delicious as always. We like to order the skillets but now they are called "hash" on the menu. Two eggs cooked the way you want over your protein or veggies of choice (only 2 selections now) and hash brown potatoes. Then don't forget the toast! Service can be a little slow but servers are working as fast as they can, and with a smile. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the price.

    We had an excellent experience at this first watch location recently. Of course, we went on the busiest day a Sunday just after 12 noon. As you can imagine, it was exceedingly busy; however, the team at this location knows how to operate with calmness and friendliness, even under such busy conditions. I had the double bacon, Parmesan hash (seasonal item) and it was quite tasty and filling. My partners had the Belgian waffles and an egg omelette. I also had the tangerine dream, another seasonal item. Overall a good experience..

    Service was amazing! We've been to several First Watch locations and this was the best yet! Food was cooked to perfection and the atmosphere is always casual and relaxing. Highly recommend the breakfast! I always get The Tradiitonal and hubby gets the Avocado Toast w/ over easy eggs.

    I am not someone who usually eats at a chain restaurant when traveling but First Watch is a quality restaurant that certainly never disappoints for breakfast or brunch no matter where you are. This time I got it to go and wanted to shout out how thoughtful the staff was to ensure I had an enjoyable service with my food even though I was not present. I got the biscuit with turkey sausage gravy, which is already a bonus point because most places do not offer non-pork options for a dish like this. You can see with my photo that took the time to put the gravy in a separate container so it didn't get all messy and over the other food items of the meal (eggs and breakfast potatoes). I also ordered a side of buttered grits. It was a bigger side than I anticipated so I was able to get two breakfast meals out of this order! Highly recommend eating here (to go or on site).

    Very clean, organized and welcoming! Shout out to NOAH , our service extraordinaire. He was professional, very kind and knowledgeable. A great willingness to help in any way he could, answered our questions concerning the menu. Quickly brought our drinks to the table and then took our breakfast order. Noah didn't miss a beat. I was very impressed!! The food was delicious all around. Our group of 8 was well taken care of, and we hope Noah felt our love back. Great experience

    SoCal Breakfast Hash
    Greg H.

    It's been a while since I've been to a First Watch restaurant. This restaurant chain never ceases to amaze me with their high quality and consistency. It's almost unfair to label it as just another chain restaurant the same way I would categorize Seasons 52 or McCormick & Schmick's. I tried their new Pineapple Express which was out of this world. They also have boozy brunch cocktails like mimosas for people who need an "eye opener" (you know who you are!). The SoCal Breakfast Hash is something incredible. Think of a breakfast skillet fajita hybrid. It was more than enough for 2 meals which is great for the road. If you've never tried First Watch you are missing out on something epic. They even sell their own cookbook next to the entrance in case you want to try to recreate their stellar menu. 5 stars all the way throughout including service and ambiance.

    We decided to pick up breakfast while on vacation and eat at the resort.I over love the morning meditation even in a to go cup it's beautiful and taste good.you can go wrong with the Farmhouse Hash.I love eggs and avocados so it's a win win.

    Top tier breakfast brunch food in Orlando and i just realized it's a chain restaurant but the one i went to is perfection! Chickenchanga and the Floridian Pancakes were absolutely sensational full of wonderful flavors and everything tasted REAL farm raised and nothing chemically made! i loved it so much and didn't feel gross afterwards i felt incredible that's how you know that there is quality in the food the service was so kind and treated us with the nicest respect and the ambiance was loud but it's because everyone is enjoying company and the food! 10/10 A++ go here go now

    Parmesan Hash. I added the turkey sausage

    We had a lovely brunch here again and as always the service and the food were great. I enjoy the freshly made drinks each visit. I tried their new seasonal breakfast dish which included potatoes & parmesan cheese. Delicious, especially with the egg on top.

    I've been to several First Watch locations in Central Florida. This is their newest location. It is located in the shopping plaza on Kirkman and I-Drive. The place was packed, as expected. The food and service were on par with other locations I've visited. I could tell that they were a bit short staffed. Our server (bless her heart) was super busy, running all over the place. But her service and attention was still top notch. This will be my favorite location from now on, since it is much closer to my residence. I had the super delicious Shrimp and Grits, which is a seasonal offering that I hope stays permanent. It is my favorite dish there. My Son had the Hacienda Hash and said it was superb. We also shared and order of Biscuits and Gravy (you gotta have this) and an order of Million Dollar Bacon (will probably not get the bacon again. It is good, but too expensive for 4 slices of bacon) We devoured everything. No leftovers. That's how good everything was. By the way, if you sign up for their email rewards program, you'll get a free entree on your birthday, Heck yeah. I just got hungry as I was typing this!

    Breakfast sandwich
    Guido L.

    One of the best breakfast places I've been to. Quite possibly the best toast I have ever had. Also the million dollar bacon was fantastic and tasted better than it looks, and it looks pretty good. Seemed a little pricey. I'm not sure farm raised eggs taste any better the eggs in cage. At least we know what the caged chickens are eating. Anyway the omelette was delicious. Coffee was good. My coworker had a breakfast sandwich. He cleaned his plate. Nothing was left. There was lots of seating. It's quite a big place. It's a little loud and there's not a lot of privacy. I would go back here in a heartbeat. Service was just fine.

    Biscuits and Turkey Sausage Gravy
    Kevin G.

    Coming from Texas I had never been to a First Watch but saw there was several in the area. The menu had all the basics and everything sounded delicious. It's clear they work with local goods and have a lot of healthy options. We didn't quite go that route, but ordered the Biscuits and Turkey Sausage Gravy (extremely flavorful) and the Chickichanga. Both were delicious and super large portions for the price. We arrived slightly before 9 where there wasn't a crowd quite yet but showed up quickly after we were seated. The only reason for the lost star was that we waited about 10 minutes before we had to flag down a waiter to get started. Must've got lost in the mix, but it made the wait for food and additional service a little slower than expected. Overall great experience and I'm sure our initial inattentiveness was a one off.

It was bagged nicely and well organized. The omelette was a generous sized portion with plenty of tender chicken, peppers, and cheese. There was salsa to add a bit of flavor, but it tasted that it was made in New York City (if you remember that commercial ;) ). The white toast was soft and buttery, and the potatoes were good. My mom enjoyed the banana pecan waffles, and I took a couple bites as well. It was sinfully sweet and enjoyable, especially the bananas. And I must say the coffee was so good, it was even better than the Juan Valdez coffee that I make at home. Since I didn't visit the restaurant, I can't comment on the atmosphere.

For a simple meal for two people, the service was unreasonably slow throughout the evening. Our server, Svet, was polite and personable, but friendliness alone could not make up for the delays. The hummus appetizer was excellent and was easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and served with pita, cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers. The food presentation overall was attractive and showed promise. The most serious issue occurred when my son ordered a refill of his virgin mojito and was served a drink containing alcohol. He immediately noticed something was wrong after taking a sip and handed it to me. I tasted it as well and confirmed that it contained alcohol. Serving alcohol in a child's drink is a significant mistake and should never happen. We also ordered the steak frites based on a recommendation and were told it was exceptional. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat and far from what was described. Management apologized and removed the steak from the bill, but the combination of excessive wait times, the alcohol mix-up involving a minor, and the disappointing entrée left a poor overall impression.

Let's focus on the positives first: the atmosphere is incredibly fun and the live music Saturday night was a perfect touch at the bar. There were plenty of fun activities for the kids and there was an all-you-can-eat buffet for the kids with fried chicken and shrimp, macaroni and cheese, fries, and red velvet cupcakes. $25 is a deal if your child would chow down on shrimp, but it might not be a great deal if your child is usually full after four bites. Our server was absolutely fantastic, friendly and very attentive. We started off the dinner with some fantastic deviled eggs and a lemon cello cocktail. I ordered the shrimp and grits and was really disappointed with the tiny, overcooked shrimp and crawfish that accompanied the slightly bland grits. The shrimp on the kids buffet was at least four times larger than the sad little shrimp in my dish. I think the sausage was cut into smaller chunks just so it wouldn't be so obvious how small the shrimp was. My husband didn't love his heirloom tomato salad and said the Wagyu appetizer was disgusting. Dessert was mediocre. The macarons that accompanied my crème brûlée were stale and chewy. This is a fun spot for a drink and appetizer, but I would skip eating dinner at Highball & Harvest.

One can argue it's still that way, but I didn't think that this place was as nice as it was! We parked at the parking garage and walked over instead of doing valet. Even at 9pm this area was very busy, including this restaurant. We had a reservation and were led to a half-table/half booth opposite the bar area which was pretty loud from the the music but we made due. The decor is very Hamptons, NY, beach house vibes. The bathrooms were nearby kinda. You had to walk down a long hall to them but once you get there they are gorgeous, spacious and clean. I got one drink, the Cucumber Elderflower (vodka, st. germain, cucumber, lemon, basil oil) and it was beautiful looking. It tasted great as well. I tried to go easy on eating but that was hard lol. I personally got the half dozen raw oysters, half east coast and half west coast. My fiance got the Crab and Shrimp Bruschetta to share ( lump crab and shrimp with sweet chili aioli on crispy ciabatta).

A manager had delivered these to our table and was very excited to come back later to see what we thought about these dishes as they were fairly new.
