I'm always happy to find a First Watch when traveling because I know I can count on a consistently pleasant experience -- and this location was no exception. If you're dining with a larger group, I recommend joining the waitlist ahead of time. Even with our party of nine, we were greeted right away and seated sooner than expected, which was a great start to the visit. The menu was the same as the one back home, making it easy to choose some of our favorites. The food arrived quickly, and the quality was just what I've come to expect -- fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. This location felt a bit cozier than some others I've visited, but they still accommodated our large group comfortably. The round table setup worked perfectly and made the meal feel even more enjoyable. It was another reliable and satisfying First Watch experience -- exactly what you hope for when dining away from home. read more

First Watch - The Works Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

First Watch is my place for breakfast and brunch but one of my favorites has recently changed. First Watch is known for their innovative menu and superb seasonal offerings. On the plus side my go to entree 'pick 2 of soup, salad and sandwich' price has not really changed. I am so pleased that this selection has not downsized or increased in price like other restaurants. I switch up the sandwich or soup but have always ordered the chicken avocado chopped salad. What has always impressed me most was the fresh vegetable elements and the crunch of tortilla chips. I know change is inevitable but recently First Watch changed the recipe for the avocado chop. The salad used to feature fresh corn kernels and tortilla chip strips but now has freeze dried corn instead. This is smaller than a corn nut and really does not impart much flavor. I still order this but the disappointment for me seems to outweigh the enjoyment these days. Maybe I need a new favorite. read more

I used to order food from here a lot until they started burning my potatoes every time. I literally stopped ordering from there and am scared to go to any of them because of how they've made my food the last few times. The eggs were weird, potatoes burnt, bacon jiggly, and pancakes super greasy. That was the last time where most of my food came yucky. I still ate most of it because I was hungry and spent like 40 bucks. It's super expensive and not really worth being hit or miss. read more

First Watch - Burnt potatoes that I remembered once to take a pic of. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

OH MY GOODNESS... nothing good to say today, unfortunately. Walked up. Empty tables and booths. Asked to be seated at a booth, greeter seemed bothered by our request. Asked us to wait and she would let us know. Came back and then led us to the booth. Unfortunately, we were not greeted by a friendly face asking for our drink order and whether we wanted coffee. Instead we waiting 20 minutes for anyone to greet us. Our server finally came around. Took our drinks, came back with the drinks but, did not bring the glass of ice or napkins that we requested. He then took our food order. 30 minutes later our food was brought out by a runner, not our server. Our food was cold. Our server did not check on us for another 20 minutes. Had to explain to our out of town visitors that this is absolutely not normal for first watch. We will no longer frequent this First Watch. Which is unfortunate. read more

I came for breakfast with friends. I believe it was the manager who opened the door for us when we walked in and greeted us which was very nice. Everybody at the table enjoyed their food. We did get a sangria pitcher and it was very bitter. Nobody at the table was a fan of the drink. Other than that, nice restaurant with decent food and prices. read more

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

Food was cold, and not fresh. I ordered the breakfast sandwich. The eggs were cold and hard, lettuce was soggy, bread wasn't toasted and cold. Seems prepared ahead of time and not made to order like we can usually expect from First Watch. Waitress disappeared on us, not great service. I asked for jam and she slapped down packaged Smuckers as she walked on by. First watch usually has yummy homemade jam. I won't be back. read more

I always have a nice time here when I come "home." The ambiance is comfortable and cozy. My mom, my aunt, their friend, my sister, and I came in for breakfast today after they scooped me up from the airport. The guys at the host stand were so friendly and kind, holding the door open for us and smiling and chatting with us. We were seated at a booth inside and were quickly greeted by our welcoming waitress. She was lovely! She got us coffees, took drink orders, and then returned for our food orders. We got the seasonal pumpkin spice donuts (donut holes) for the table, which were soft and sweet! For our entree, my sister and I shared the BLT Eggs Benedict with the spring mix side as well as a side of breakfast potatoes. Everything was tasty, as always! My one critique is that we asked for the potatoes well done/crispy and 90% of the time they don't come that way sadly. Still yummy though! read more

This was my first time at this location and I loved it. I was here for a book club meeting. Was we ordered even though the food took a bit of time to come out our waitress was Amazing and attentive. I ordered the purple haze wellness drink, which is a fav of mine & for food I ordered the Floridian French toast and million dollar bacon. I devoured everything! The ambiance is busy and a bit loud. When our waitress was busy, I love that the staff work together to make sure all the guest are taken care of. I would def come here again. read more

Food is so fresh and delicious. We can't get enough. Today I had the salad and sandwich with the avocado corn Cobb . It has a great crunch since baby corn nuts are the croutons. It was unique and tasty. I wish this chain was in California close to us . We love the fresh food and reasonable prices ! read more

Ceci has redeemed this location! Good friends and I stopped in today for a late breakfast/ early lunch/brunch. We shared the seasonal blueberry lemon cornbread which was bursting with flavor! Definitely order this if you have a large party to share with! It's prepared in a gratin dish, so it's hefty! My friends both had omelettes and thoroughly enjoyed them. I had the shrimp and grits and they were stellar. Lots of flavor and lovely big shrimp. I hate when they use salad shrimp or teeny shrimp for this dish. The andouille was perfection as well, not too spicy and not too oily. A really well balanced dish. Ceci was a terrific waitress making sure our drinks were refilled, that our dishes were tasting great and it was a delight to talk to a native. Definitely stop in at the end of the peak hours, but they have worked out the kinks at this location! read more

I frequently visit Orlando and I love to come here for breakfast or brunch. There was 10 min wait for party of 3 which isn't bad. I had 1/2 sandwich of turkey and tomato soup. The Cobb salad was good but didn't really like the roast beef sandwich. It was very salty and mushy. The traditional trifecta breakfast was the best, the classic waffles. I loved the potatoes and the bacon. The service was excellent because even restaurant being busy , she was very attentive. read more

Ive been to first watch before but at another location and it didn't leave the right impression for me. After that experience I decided to not try it again. One day, I decided to finally give it another shot, and man I do not regret it! This place is actually really good!!! I was shocked and how impressed I was. The only issue I had was a long wait time to place my order. I think they may have forgotten about us but there was a sweet server who noticed that we were not being attended. Other than that, it was an easy 5 star experience. Would go back for sure. The food was so good and filling. The restaurant was clean and looked so new. This is a fairly new location located on I-Drive near Fun Spot. read more

This place was very popular!! There was a wait time and you had to wait outside which was a little hot, but for a party of 2 we got into the restaurant in about 30 mins. The interior was modern and beautiful. Our waitress was incredibly nice as well. I had the Tri Fecta with turkey sausage, eggs, and a waffle. The waffle was too crispy for me, I prefer my waffles fluffy. The sausage and eggs were yummy though! My girlfriend had the Smoked Salmon and Vegetable Fritata. She LOVED it. She really liked the greens on the side, I also tried some and as a picky vegetable eater, the dressing made it incredible. The bread that came with it was way too crispy and had no flavor. I am not sure why it was on the plate because she ended up not eating it, I tried it as well, very hard. The Blazing Dragon is a seasonal juice drink, VERY yummy and came with real dragon fruit pieces. Overall, this place looked fancy on the inside, the service was friendly, and the food was good. read more

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

I've been to multiple First Watch locations and always had a great time. The food is always great. We visited this location today with my family coming from overseas, the service from our server was great. My mother dropped her wallet at the restaurant and we realized about 30-ish minutes later. I immediately called the restaurant to inquire and was told by the person on the phone that they didn't have it, I insisted, she put me on hold, came back and said that she asked her team and nothing had been turned in. I inquired about their cameras and she said she was not sure if they had cameras, and that she would check with a manager. I had enough time to drive from the outlets back to the restaurant, this lady still had me on hold. I asked to speak to their on duty manager and when I asked for footage the Waller magically appeared!!! The manager seemed very moody, he could've turned this situation into a win situation by being empathetic and show themselves as heroes!! But no, he walked to us and with a passive aggressive attitude began saying how thankful we should be that someone turned it in. He seemed irritated for some reason. Why were we told no wallet was found until we showed up! Thank goodness we came back because if we would've just taken their word it would've been completely lost!!! Lost an opportunity to portray themselves as heroes! We would've been so haply if this would've been handled better! read more

Admittedly, we are very spoiled in Southern California with delicious food, so by California standards, this place is a bit above average. We shared the chickachanga and a side of million dollar bacon. Both were tasty; the bacon was nicely flavored but would have been better as a thicker cut. The chickachanga also had good flavor, but the ingredients could have been more evenly distributed throughout. The fruit was not great. I usually love grapes, but these were tasting off, so I spit mine out (which I hardly ever do). The blueberries were also not really sweet at all. We sat at the bar to avoid the 40 minute wait, and the bartender was very friendly and helpful. No complaints about the service. Overall, I would rate it 3.5 stars, but the shortcomings knocked it down to 3 for me. Would I come here again? Maybe; the pancakes did look delicious (large and fluffy), so we may try sweet next time. read more

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 an 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! read more

We stopped in for breakfast here before beginning our families staycation at Universal and it was a wonderful start to our weekend. First off, we were sat promptly and our server was quick to bring our water and toss out some suggestions of popular items on the menu. He was very attentive to our needs throughout. I got the BLT Benedict with a side salad. The bacon was on point and the ingredients were so fresh! My salad was so tasty my 2 year old started enjoying it. The best part was the manager constantly checking in on us. You can tell she really cares for her customers and wants everyone to enjoy their time there. Rare to see these days and greatly appreciated. We will definitely be back. read more

This particular First Watch is located in the tourist area of Orlando and is a good overall place to grab breakfast. It is a great place with a great staff and the overall ambiance is pretty relaxing. First Watch is part of a new trend where they offer restaurants with an emphasis on breakfast in a more upscale experience than the typical greasy spoon diners that once dominated the breakfast restaurant industry. First Watch has been around for quite a bit of time. In fact, First Watch can trace its roots back to 1983 when the first location opened in Pacific Grove California. It has since grown considerably and now boasts over five hundred locations. That in itself is definitely impressive. I had the eggs benedict for my breakfast and I would definitely recommend their eggs benedict. This was a great place to meet up for a business breakfast and I would definitely recommend this particular First Watch location. read more

Food and service always good no matter which location... but I tried the million dollar bacon and it's a no for me... did not care for the seasoning... they did too much when they thought of this bacon I think...hint of sweet and spicy... regular so much better read more

Highly recommend this place if you want a delicious breakfast and great service! I will definitely be coming back.

Service and food are beyond great. I'm particularly fond of the Belgian waffle, but it's all fantastic!

I am not used to review food chains but to have found such a happy server "J" (I think we Jonathan his name) working on the first day of the year and providing such a good vibe, definitely deserve to be acknowledged. Food and ambience we all know it's good. But to make the difference in customers is priceless. Good job "j" .. hope this acknowledgement get to you. By the way great location!

Had a great breakfast. Not cheap, but well-prepared and to my liking. This is not Waffle House or Denny's. Several fru-fru selections. They work. Like many, I'm stunned at inflationary prices but these were reasonable for market-based non-fast food. This wasn't a microwave breakfast at a drive up window. They have lots of room, and the service was great. read more

The restaurant is pretty new so every was clean and in good repair. The parking is easy, a big lot right off Kirkman and I Drive. It wasn't very busy so we were seated right away. Waitress was quick to take our drink order and bring us water. This is the second time we have eaten at a First Watch and the first time it took quite a while for our food to come out but we chalked it up to the restaurant being fairly busy. Again it took quite a a while for our food to arrive so I guess that must be the norm here so just a heads up, not the place if you are in a hurry. Luckily we were not in a hurry so no problem with the little longer wait. Food came.out hot and looked good. Everything was tasty so no complaints. The waitress dropped off the check and told us to pay at the register on the way out so getting out was quick and easy. If you like breakfast food ( very limited menu for other than breakfast items) and are not in a hurry I do recommend First Watch. read more
