We visited on a busy Saturday during a holiday weekend (Memorial Day) and had a fantastic experience. The wait to be seated was less than initially estimated. We ordered the bacon and egg and the chocolate chip pancake for the kids. They really enjoyed it! I ordered the BLT eggs Benedict with seasoned potatoes - it was sooo good. My husband ordered the ham and gruyere melt with the soup of the day (Italian wedding soup). He said it was amazing. I tasted the soup and also thought it was an amazing soup. The only drawback we had was that we checked the menu on their website before going and had already picked out what we wanted. They were in the seasonal menu that had just ended but was still up on the website as available. Not a big enough deal to lower the rating, but still disappointing. However, we'll definitely be back the next time we visit the area. Also, our waiter (I believe her name was Abigail) was terrific. She was so patient with us as we looked through the menu while handling two small children. She's absolutely an asset to this wonderful restaurant. read more

I am so glad I found this place. The food is amazing! I have dairy and gluten intolerance and have to be very careful as to where I eat. This place had numerous things I could eat. The waitress Chelsea was knowledgeable and super friendly. I found something on the online menu that wasn't on their menu in house and she said that they would make it for me anyways. Seriously great place! I'll be coming back whenever I'm in town! read more

Doesn't look like much when u pass by but it was so good and reasonably priced. Great service also. Definitely recommend! read more

A five star menu, meal and service!! But I feel obligated to deduct one star for the lipstick print on my hubby's water glass. And not his fav shade!! Lol. A delish Monterey Club sandwich, turkey, avocado, bacon, etc. on half toasted sourdough. Perfect. Subbed the salad for the breakfast potatoes. No problem. Our other choice was a ham and cheese omelet with fruit. Also very good. I've been before. Don't pass up the carrot cake pancakes. And such a delightful staff. Very welcoming and helpful. Lots of tables for those that do not or cannot do booths. Well lit, bright and cheery!! The ambiance is contagious. Loved the lunch options as much as breakfast. This location behind ChickFilet, at further corner of strip mall. Enjoy!! read more

Wow! Just Wow!! I was pleasantly surprised to see that all my family enjoyed every dish we ordered. French toast, AM Superfoods bowl, Avocado toast, and mine was the Farmhouse Hash. Excellent!! The coffee as well was delightful. If your in town for sure make this a breakfast destination a must! Good portions. Flavor Bam!! Batman. Lol. read more

I came here around 10:45am. There was 11 parties ahead of us and we were debating if we wanted to stay and wait or go somewhere else. I am HAPPY to say I am glad we stayed. We were seated within 30 minutes. We sat outside on this beautiful day. The food was amazing and refreshing. The menu has so many different choices. I'm not normally a brunch person but oh my, the food is delicious! The drinks were so delightful in every sip and the food was seasoned so perfectly! The pancakes are huge and fluffy. The service was great! Our server was very attentive and patience with all of our questions. There's plenty of parking and it's in a great location! It looks a little small from the outside but it's pretty spacious on the inside. read more

First watch has been one of my favorite breakfast spots for several years now. This particular location does not measure up to the typical standard of most FW restaurants. There were just so many "wrongs" at this location. The two hostesses at the front door were not very friendly or welcoming at all. They ignored most customers and stood with their tablets gossiping about personal issues. They also decided to sit strangers together at the same table- we were one of them It took way too long for a server to take our initial order. The food took forever to make it to our table. Once it arrived, it was lukewarm In temperature with hard, overcooked potatoes. The server was no where to be found and only checked on us when she dropped the bill for us to pay. The strangers next to us complained about their experience and told us they had to wait an extremely long time for their substandard food, as well. Like us, they also didn't finish their food. If I had not been suffering from hunger pains, I would have left. Plus, we've always had positive experiences at all of the First Watch restaurants so we were not prepared for this particular nightmare of a visit. I will definitely not return to this location. read more

So far our favorite breakfast place in PCB. Actually we're going back again tomorrow morning. Everything's really fresh. read more

I must have hit an off hour in the kitchen. Waitress was good but We waiting 20min for our food and guys that sat down 10min after us got their food at the same time we did, so something was off. My moms BLT Benedict was great I got the smoked salmon one and my bread was soggy, and not from the yolk likely water from poach or wet plate- sitting too long. Salmon was extremely fishy which means it was old and when I asked for crispy/well done potatoes they forgot and when they took them back I got a bunch of burnt pieces -- I guess that was an f u from the cook. So don't get the smoked salmon it doesn't move and sadly you can't send food back as their staff will retaliate. read more

The service was great, prompt and friendly. And the restaurant is clean and inviting. But when it comes to the food I think there are better options. (Waffle House is right across the street). The food is reminiscent of what someone could make in their own home sans the fancy presentation. Missing the "umph." read more

We are here on vacation to see our son, and have been to a new breakfast place for the last 2 days and First Watch is by far the best Breakfast place we have been to. Collectively we had the Farmhouse Skillet, French Toast, the BLT Benedict and 2 orders of the Million Dollar Bacon.(which is a must if you love bacon) Everything is fresh as advertised, the bread is amazing, eggs poached perfectly, hollandaise sauce delicious and the eggs over easy and medium cooked exactly as ordered. The berry compote the perfect combination of sweet and tanginess and the strawberry jam was delightful. The host and waitstaff are friendly and accomodating, offer quick service, and we will definetly be back to try lunch. Thank you everyone for such a great experience. The Barretts read more

Walked in the store was properly addressed by the gentlemen in the front good morning how can I help you sir but after waiting to be seated a Jamaican descent young lady approached me and said what's the name with an attitude if you don't want to work stay home. If did ask How can I help you? What are you waiting on then I would've told her I waiting on my order. . apparently it's too busy for her to have some type of customer service skills and manners read more

Wednesday December 19, 2021 at the end of year visiting Florida on our road trip. It was around brunch Well it was our first time eating here and this time it was pick by my girlfriend due to the vegan options.As soon as we pulled up we added our names to the waiting list. It was a long list, I don't blame the long wait because later we found out they where just short staff. I can only imagine how it gets on the weekends. So i was thinking families wanted to eat together. Sure enough parties if 5 or more where coming out. I don't know if it's like this daily or just on Sundays. After a 30-20 min wait we sat down and definitely notice this place had a certain country / suburban setting. The food was amazing and worth the wait. A must go and wait in line for us! read more

I went to Another Broken Egg Cafe the day before going to First Watch. All I can say is that this place definitely gears for the people who have dietary restrictions or are aiming to be health conscious. I think you definitely need to have a taste for that. That's not to say you can't still get some classics; they just won't be as soul fulfilling as other breakfast joints may make them. For someone who likes the "classic" American simple breakfast as I coin it, (think mom and pop diner with toast, eggs, and a meat) this wasn't the place for my husband. read more

After previously having a bad experience trying to get into the building after multiple try's with the wait on the website which caused inconvenience above the staffs control, I was contacted by JT who reached out and made things right, I was told the best appropriate time to try to come in and he ensured I'd enjoy the food. When arrived I was properly greeted and taken care of by JT and the server, they did an excellent job of ensuring that my breakfast experience was top their, I would like to state I've very appreciative how the situation was handled by JT and the staff, I will definitely be eating at this restaurant again. read more

If a simple turkey club and side salad dazzled me, I'm certain more elaborate dishes will knock your boots off.

Great service from Abigail. Single biscuit was grilled to perfection and served with butter and preserves. It was a big biscuit! I had the avocado toast and basted eggs, and I enjoyed my meal. Toast could have been a little more toasted, but it was a nice multigrain bread. My husband had scrambled eggs with turkey sausage and home fries, and he enjoyed that. Sunrise juice drink was sunshine in a glass. Recommend to all who want something on the healthier side for breakfast. Lots of options. read more

Great food. Nice staff. Reasonable prices. The Florida French Toast is beyond wonderful.

There's a reason that this place was at the top of the search list, everything was great and more. Located in a very bustling part of PCB by Publix, there's going to be plenty of parking even when it's busy during peak hours. Outdoor seating is available on those nice sunny days. Staff is very friendly and helpful when it comes to having questions about the menu. Decor feels calming and pleasant, cleanliness is top notch and overall feels like a great choice for casual outings to big family brunches. When it comes to the menu, you definitely need a moment to look it over. Choices range from small portions to hearty eaters. I definitely recommend the traditional breakfast or the Tri Fecta which is a great amount of food, but gives a taste for variety. Specials can be located on a separate page of the menu where it also has refresher drinks for those on the healthy cleanse. The Floridian French Toast is another great choice for anyone with a sweet tooth. Definitely will be giving this place another try on the next visit and also recommend to others in need for a good brunch spot. read more

Amazing service, food was fantastic and a great portion size. Very relaxed airy space.

Went back for the second time during our vacation and everything was just as perfect! Tori was our server this time and she was amazing -- no complaints! This time my husband and I split the farmhouse hash and it was SO good. The roasted tomatoes added an extra level of flavor and freshness -- definitely a winner! My sister got a yogurt/granola bowl and couldn't finish it all -- again, but it was delicious! Wish we had a place like this back home . read more

This was a fantastic breakfast choice! On a recent trip to Panama City Beach, my friends and I spotted this place while picking up a few items from Publix. Curious, we went for breakfast on one of our vacation days and I am very, very impressed with the experience! Upon walking in, we were greeted and seated immediately. The restaurant, although busy, was very, clean. I ordered the vegetable omelet with coffee, and instead of potatoes I asked for fresh fruit. The server was very nice about my request. At the end of the meal, she even brought us three cups of to-go coffee. Their coffee is delicious! Great, clean restaurant with healthy, quality food and superb service--I highly recommend you try this place! read more

Friendly service, plenty of parking and a nice and clean restaurant with free wifi. There were at least six things on this menu that I would have eaten, but it was the "Parma Hash" that escaped my lips to the waitress. It arrived a very few minutes later. Great portion with two perfectly poached eggs on top. The sausage was excellent and the rest of the hash mix was very tasty and delicious. Handmade preserves were perfect on the English muffin but I could only complain because I wanted a lot more bread for spreading preserves on it. Yum! Five stars! read more

Okay so, you walk in, and it has an almost Panera, not so local feel...but don't let that fool you into thinking it won't come out tasting homemade and fresh!!! I decided on this as my birthday brunch and almost decided to find something more my style (I like local, foodie-type ‍)...but oh man, I left more satisfied with this than anything we had tried in PCB! My hash was so delicious and the toast was soo fresh and delicious with the jam. My husband got the pork belly grain bowl, and he was also just as impressed and satisfied. We got one of the best blueberry pancakes that I've had. Great portion sizes and the quality couldn't have been better. We will most definitely be back if we head back to PCB!! I wish it wasn't so far away...there were several other things on the menu that I was dying to try! read more
