    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

    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

    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.

This time we stayed on I-Drive and found that they have a new location closer by in Lake Buena Vista, which we love even more than the first one. It's newer and way more spacious with a higher ceiling. The mural, the seatings and the greenery all help to create a very cozy and relaxed environment. It's busier too and harder to find a parking spot though. Their breads are so delicious, with so many varieties we always have a hard time deciding what to get, since we want them all! The swiss roll right by the entrance are delicious too! They also have cookies, and their crepe cakes are closest to Lady M than any other I've tried. You can tell that the crepe is really thin with rich layers of cream in between. It's an Asian bakery so the sweetness level is not as intense, and the bread dough is on the soft and pillowy side. Oh did I mention they also offer dimsum and a bunch of other things too. Yes, you can eat your breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea here. And probably still want more.

When I visit again I will definitely make sure to snag one of these to eat. It's not too sweet which is great and the blueberry filling really adds to the overall taste of the dish. The matcha fruit tart was okay to me, nothing really stood out. But the strawberry pudding is very fruity. I will definitely have to return to try some of their other bakery buns and the hot food items!

It…read moreshares some elements of Peruvian and Colombian but uniquely their own with influences dependent on location. So, while on a road trip, I decided to seek out Ecuadorian food and found Cafe Pinton in Orlando. Being new to the restaurant, were unsure of how service was and so were offered at the counter but later observed that regulars simply took a table and were approached by the young lady at the counter who took their order. However, there were others who did the same as we did and ordered at the counter before finding a table. Being familiar with Ecuadorian cuisine and married to a first generation Ecuadorian American, the menu was easy to understand. For starters, we started with the Bolon Mixto. This was served with a meat based side sauce and hard-cooked Sunny side up egg. The Bolon was moist and tasty. The accompanying sauce was a nice topping for the Bolon and together with the egg, a complete meal. The fusion marinara or shrimp and fish ceviche was wonderfully refreshing in the citrus marinade. Add in crumbled plantain chips and you have another winner. Finally was the seco de chivo. The host was moist, tender, and nicely flavored. The balance of seasonings was on point. Why four stars and not five? The prices. Because it is hard to come by good Ecuadorian in Florida, after the initial shock, we committed to simply enjoy the food.

    We love Ecuadorian food and we're so excited to find this spot. When we walked in, it had cold…read moredecor and seemed they were going for bright, trendy coffee shop vibes instead of Ecuadorian restaurant. Floors were plastic LVP and tables were all light wood and close together, but it was very clean. I had the Seco de pollo which was pretty good, but it would have been better with more onion salad, limon, aliño, and cilantro. The onions were very good. The menu said it came with potatoes, but it came with plantains and avocado, which was a plus. If we had just ordered the Seco de Pollo, water, and shared it, I would have rated it a 4. I ordered naranjilla juice, one of my favorites in Ecuador, but the frozen pulp brand used is one that has an off flavor and the drink was served more like an icee. Most brands of frozen mora are good, so that may be a better route if you decide to try the juice. The salchipapas were nothing like pictured. The fries were just frozen crinkle cut fries, which had a school cafeteria texture. There was no onion salad on top either. My daughter ate just a couple of bites. She ended up getting sick on the way home. The total was just over $45. Too overpriced for lunch with plastic cups. Replacing the canned soda displayed up front with Ecuadorian Coca Cola in glass, fiora vente, and other Ecuadorian sodas, having more Ecuadorian decor and even chonta wood tables, and Ecuadorian TV/music would add better ambiance than AI screen savers. The service was slow, with drinks not coming until our meal was served and I had to get up to get the check. I mentioned how the fries were terrible, but didn't receive a response at all. Florida needs more Ecuadorian restaurants, but with great options like daily almuerzos with the many amazing soups, pinchos with garlic/cilantro mayonnaise, chicken/pea/carrot empanadas (Ecuador has amazing empanadas that are nothing like the empanadas pictured on this page), Parrilladas, and even volquetero.
