Poor service & low quality food. Overpriced. Honey Butter mini biscuits were rock hard. Wait staff more concerned with to go orders. Steak & Queso bowl came with tiny drizzle of queso on top, bowl was loaded with potatoes and dry. Only offered coffee, had to ask for water. read more

First Watch - Chimichurri Steak 7 Eggs Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

A decision to go to this restaurant for breakfast ended up turning into a fantastic start of the day for my birthday with some amazing people and great food. Wally greeted us warmly as we entered the restaurant. He even opened the door for us! What a great service and what a great manager! Then Jazzy, our waitress, was amazing. She was upbeat and friendly, I told her tshe and Wally were helping me start off my birthday right! The food was terrific as well. They offer healthy options and how they present the food made it looked so appetizing. The restaurant was clean and inviting. We are visiting from Texas and we also have First Watch there as well but the service at this location puts this place above all the other First Watch restaurants we've visited. We will definitely be back!!! Thank you, Wally and Jazzy for making the start to my birthday so memorable! read more

We recently ate at First Watch and had a bit of a mixed experience. The wait was around 40 minutes, and it was frustrating to see the host seating people out of order without any updates through the text system. Once seated, things started a little slow service-wise, and my meal came out noticeably later than the rest of the table. That said, the food itself was really good and definitely the highlight. The restaurant was pretty loud, and we were seated right by the door with a lot of foot traffic, which didn't help the overall experience. Prices felt a bit high for breakfast--around $30 per person. There's also limited outdoor seating. read more

Wait time wasn't bad for it being peak hours when we arrived. The menu was simple. They had a summer menu which was great. I got the elote breakfast burrito. The sauce on the outside was tasty but I the inside was lacking on flavor, and in my opinion way tooo much black beans, not enough meat. My husband got The Works and he enjoyed it a lot. Almost sent him into a food coma lol. Service was ok...our server was always on the move...he had multiple tables in different areas of the restaurant. He just took our order, brought it out and that was just it. Simple but not really personable or not really any interaction. Which I get as well. Just my opinion. Despite service being ok, I would still come back. read more

Food was great, we got farmhouse hash, my wife got the veggie omelet and my son got 2 chocolate chip pancakes. Be warned the pancakes are huge. Our servers name was Ivan's I think, she was great. The place was nice and quiet and we really enjoyed ourselves. read more

The star of the show was the Carne Asada breakfast bowl. Omg. So much flavor. I usually order the chorizo omelet with green chiles. And the bread they use for toast is FIVE stars. I enjoyed the raspberry French toast but it wasn't overly sweet. Needed some extra oomph. Some caramel sauce maybe? It was just ok. read more

We were on vacation, ate here for breakfast/brunch. The place was reasonably busy. We did not wait long for our food. Our waitress (whose name I did not get), a woman with short blonde hair, glasses, had an accent.....she was fantastic. She went over the menu with us, made recommendations which were spot on! The menu is great, lots of healthy options. Everything we got was good. I also loved that they had a separate seasonal menu. We got the maple breakfast sandwich, pumpkin donut holes, a traditional breakfast plate, a bacado omelette, and a BLTE sandwich. All of it was delicious and the portions were huge. I feel like the prices are reasonable for the quality and portion size of the food. Would definitely recommend and would eat here again!! read more

Adding tip on orders placed on app, picking up for take out should not require mandatory tip. Raise the price but your business has not provided any service to justify. read more

Jasmine is exceptional. Her service and friendly attitude is what made us choose to come to First Watch again and again. Jasmine saved my relationship, i even saw her help out another server carry their plates. She runs this town. Treat job! Give her a raise. read more

Service was awesome! Took my 9year old daughter for some quality time. We had Kristof and he was attentive from the moment he sat us down. His manners were impeccable and he made our whole morning! read more

We were seated quickly by very courteous staff. Our waiter, Delroy, was wonderful! The decor is simple, inviting, and comfortable. Even with the restaurant quite full, the noise level wasn't bad at all. We had the Floridian French Toast and a side of biscuits and gravy. The French toast was cooked to perfection, the fruit was perfectly ripe, the preserves added just the right touch of sweetness. The biscuits were fluffy and buttery. My grandma would've been proud! The turkey sausage gravy was perfectly seasoned, with just a hint of spice. The perfect combination to go with the sweet French toast. We will definitely be back to try more of their wonderful selections! read more

Great food. Welcoming staff and fast turnaround. Food is a big servings. Good for family.

Not sure what all the buzz is about with this place but my experience was pretty bad. We go in and the first two things that happen is I see dry boogers on my seat and my pregnant wife puts her arm in syrup that was left on the table but no big deal so we carry on. Then we order and, we are given a whole pitcher of coffee for me and a pitcher of milk for my wife which I liked the coffee tho was terrible but whatever maybe most guest like there coffee harsh so it's fine. My wife said the milk was fine so that's good but then the absolute worst part came other than the bill for what we received which was the food. I got the works and my wife got the trifecta. My potato's were under cooked and stiff the eggs for me and my wife looked like high school lunch eggs or hotel eggs, garbage bland nasty stuff we both hated the eggs. The whole omelet was unsatisfying I had to force myself to eat my whole meal cause I mean I already bought it and I gotta get my morning calories but, mind you every bite was terrible. My wife said her bacon was fantastic on a plus side but the pancakes were nasty and didn't like biting into all the multi grain seeds in the pancakes. Also to top it all off there was a hair with something sticking to my spoon when I opened my utensils. So overall I paid a lot of money to have my worst dining experience in all my trips to Panama City at this highly rated place and it's very disappointing because I purposely go to highly rated places like this dining establishment to avoid dining experiences like the one I had here at first watch. The bill was 40 dollars btw read more

Please go here and order the chimichurri steak and egg hash while it's on the menu!! It's amazing and thank you Ivana for being awesome and recommending it. First watch, please keep this on the menu!! It's the best hash I've ever had!! The only reason I didn't take a picture is because I ate it so fast!! Also the ambiance is great, love the little extra touches with the wooden tables. read more

This was a breath of fresh air we had been on the road for what felt like three years. We arrived early to check in and this is next door to Publix. The sandwich were excellent!

What an absolutely delightful experience! Our food was extremely fresh and delicious, our server, Victoria was nothing short of superb, and just the overall experience was wonderful. This is especially crucial because in so many restaurants, Customer Service is absent, food is not prepared freshly nor correctly, as well as a host of other issues. However, at FIRST WATCH, this was not our experience....it was the exact opposite. Great job FIRST WATCH team! read more

Ate there for brunch. The service was very good but the food was average. The chicken-sausage looked ok but when I turned it over, it was burnt on the other side. The biscuit and gravy were ok; the gravy was less than desirable. The coffee was excellent and the staff were all very polite read more

We eat here every time we come to the Emerald Coast. Always this location. The wait is never anything at all and the service is always fast and friendly. We have been coming to this location for years and they've had a lot of the same employees so they must keep their staff happy. The food is delicious, high quality. Cage free eggs, etc. We have all tried multiple things on the menu and we have yet to find anything we didn't like which is hard to do at restaurants usually. My kids love the food too and the wait staff are always so friendly to them which is also hard to find at restaurants sometimes. The price is also great for what you get. It's one the cheapest places we eat at on vacation but you wouldn't know that by the quality. Really nice clean atmosphere too! We always eat here multiple times. Highly recommend. read more
