I've had quite a few things on their menu & some stuff is no longer on their menu now. Let me tell you what I have tried. For starters, I've had the million dollar bacon, which is delicious. Nothing is better than bacon, right? Wrong. What's better than the bacon is their Holey Donuts. The donuts come with a chocolate sauce & berry compote for dipping. Those two things are considered seasonal so you might not see them on the menu. Another seasonal item I've had is the Carnitas Burrito & it is amazing. It's filled with flavor & all the flavors are in sync. If you see it, then get it! I've tried their Eggs Benedict which they put on french bread & I didn't see it last time so they may have removed it. Good for them because not the best thing to eat. The elevated egg sandwich is so so. There was something on it that I wasnt a fan of. Last time I was here, I ordered the works omelette. It was bigger than I expected but it tasted wonderful. Everything seems to be fresh & that says alot about the food. If you like juices, then I recommend going for the Morning Meditation over the Kale Tonic. Also, their iced coffee is one of the best I've had in town. Just a heads up, it gets extremely busy on Sundays so make a reservation & the service is not great. I did see a difference last time when it came to their service but they still need to improve on that end. read more

First Watch - Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Very expensive for breakfast. It was over $40 for two people while getting waters and nothing extra. I may not be up with the times but I believe breakfast should be atleast a little cheaper than lunch. The food was mediocre at best. My potatoes were so hard I couldn't even cut them. The omelet was good but not worth the almost $20 I paid for it. read more

I like going back to this place. There can be a long wait during weekends. Food is always great. The parking can be challenging. Servers are always friendly. They also have refresher drinks, Iike watermelon wake up that you can add a booster powder of vitamins for additional 99c. Servings are good size and reasonable for the price. Pancakes are definitely huge and yum. Coffee is yum either regular or iced flavored. Lots of choices to eat. For regular coffee orders, they will leave the coffee pot at your table, and a small pitcher of water, a smart way to do, so you don't have to flag someone for a coffee refill or water. When you're done dining they will hand your receipts and have to pay at the front, it works but causes people traffic on a busy day. Same area for people waiting for a sit, getting in to dine, and check out cashier to leave. New people in town or locals this place is worth a try. And if you're having cookie cravings after your meal. Crumbles is right next door. read more

I was very excited when I saw that first watch was coming to nine mile road. The food is always good The atmosphere is great specially when I sit outside with my dog ie very nice in the mornings. Now ... when it comes to the time of waiting for the table is expected to wait longer right before church and after church 11-1pm. But from the time I get seated to the time someone decides to wait on me is a good 15-20 minutes that is the only thing that stops me from visiting more often. I live two blocks down. I wish and hope that management works on fixing this issue soon. read more

We had a great waitress. I atte the Avocado on wheat bread and it was fantastic. It was so tasty and filling. I also order turkey sausage. I will return again. read more

I noticed this "recently opened" spot and wanted to give it a try. The first thing we went for was the Lemon Ricotta pancakes. Woo, they were absolutely delicious. The second time, we tried the Cinnamon pancakes. Also on point! So far - we can't seem to order anything that's not a pancake. We usually try to eat healthier but find these pancakes to be quite satisfying. When we want to treat ourselves we usually end up here. Otherwise the coffee, juice, and sides have also been very delicious. As for the service, we've never had an issue. The first time we visited, it was a very busy morning. Yet - we were still addressed fairly quickly. With every table top full and 3 people waiting to be seated, we were in and out and never ran out of coffee or water. Granted, I could see it may be a different story for a larger table during these peak times. In the end - I'm not much of a breakfast person and this is one of my favorite places for morning food. So keep up the good work, and I really appreciate the "healthier" options that are offered. read more

First Watch - Cinnamon Pancakes with Turkey Sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Always leave happy when we come to First Watch- customer service is always on point, consistently good food and a cleanly bright atmosphere. Has options for people on a diet or if you're looking to go all-out! One suggestion from this past experience is we would've preferred more pumpkin pie spice in the pancake, the flavor was not super strong. Over all though another morning well spent! read more

$17 + tax for two burnt bacons, two scrambled eggs and a piece of Franch toast. This is getting so ridiculous. My husband ordered Tri-Fecta. The server told him he can have waffle, pancake or Franch toast. He chose Franch toast. They brought the meal, the bacon was burnt. When I checked the bill, his meal turned out to be more than $17. Server told me because he had Franch toast so they have to add $1.49 to the bill. That really didn't make sense. She didn't mention Franch toast would have extra charge. He gave up waffle and got toast. His meal and coffee is $23. The food cost probably less than $2. Very simple food, they charge a terrible price. My husband and I used to come to this place very often. But this would be our last time to this place. read more

Nice restaurant, nice staff and good food. Didn't know it was here until a friend invited me. I liked it so much that I came back for a second time. The only issue is the outdoor seating. They could use a big fan for the customers that choose to sit outside because the heat is horrible. I sweated terribly while waiting to eat my freshly hot food. Other than that, I love the place and would highly recommend. read more

First Watch - Trifecta: scrambled eggs, chicken sausage patty, brioche French toast with fresh fruit. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Great accommodating servers! As soon as we were seated we were greeted by a smile and taken our order of drinks. Not too bothersome while we were seated, given our privacy with our own water pitcher to refill whenever we wanted. I ordered Florentine Eggs Benedict/potatoes with a side pancake. Hot chocolate and coffee. The Food quality I give a 3 out of 5, because the food was very mediocre and dry, nothing spectacular. The pancake was patchy and fell apart as I cut it. The egg Benedict was not the best, but decent. The English muffin was a bit too stiff, but the egg was okay! The potatoes are standard, not much flavor added to it. I would recommend the Hot Chocolate, if you enjoy them! Presentation was 4.5 out of 5, very appealing but doesn't taste as well as it looks! Pricing is fair. Good place to go try! But not the best in the area! read more

First Watch is our Saturday morning "go to" place. Mainly because of Nathan, who has become more than our constant server, but our friend. We come to see him and they just happen to serve food. Which is generally top notch. Their breakfast tacos, Traditional breakfast are excellent. GRITS, yellow corn meal grits, like polenta! Lemon Ricotta pancakes, suttle lemon flavored and served with warm syrup. So, go by and meet Nathan. Enjoy a marvelous breakfast in a cordial atmosphere. read more

"Healthy" alternative for brunch vs whats around in the area. The juices are always fantastic & ive never had a bad meal. Only down side is that it gets crazy busy during the weekend so you have to join the waitlist online or youll be waiting. read more

This restaurant needs some help. I had a party of two, we waited over 40 minutes when we were quoted 10 minutes. We received a texted saying to head to the host stand, we did but there was a long line to talk to the host and we were removed from the list during that time. We were told we had to rejoin the wait and five tables were ahead of us.. 15 tables were sat before the first time we checked in again. We then stood by the host stand inside and waited 30 minutes, checked in twice to ensure we were still on the list. After 40 minutes we chose to just take our name off of the list To be told we had been called three times. We were not - host confirmed the phone number and I showed here we received the initial texts but not the next three she was claiming. The host was the manager at this location. Poor management with not scheduling a host and then also not paying attention to the list and to people who have been standing right in your face the entire time. Of course a table was magically open as soon as we wanted to leave, we still chose to leave. If the initial interaction was that bad, I'm sure the table service and food will be similar. read more

Stopped in for breakfast this morning and I will admit this place was a bit more upscale than I was used to. Very clean and wait staff was great. Had many diverse options on the menu and the potatoes were some of the best I have had. Only thing stopping this review from being 5 stars was my wife's poached egg was WAY over cooked. I provided feedback to the wait staff and they offered to replace the dish but we were half way through. Lets talk about that option for a second, when you provide feedback about the condition of the food, having it replaced and waiting while everyone is eating is almost never a good option. May I suggest at the very least a reduction of cost for that item when clearly it was not cooked properly. Just my 2 cents. read more

Came here for brunch w/ my husband, and although there was a bit of a wait, our experience was phenomenal! We received amazing customer service from our server (who gave great recommendations). I ordered the Trifecta, and it tasted fantastic! I also ordered a side of cheese grits and LET ME TELL YOU those are some real southern cheese grits (best I've had in a while)!!! I'm sure we'll eat back soon to try more of their amazing food! read more

The food and service was AH-MAZING! ALLIE, our server, was incredible and very professional!

Sub par today. Slow to seat, slow to take orders n checkout was waiting for someone to come. Ordered bacon - good. Ordered Floridian French Toast - less fruit n fruit was old (bananas had black centers n edge. Strawberries were over ripe. Quite disappointed!! read more

We went to First Watch for brunch. What a wonderful experience! Our server, Nathan, was warm and welcoming and has more energy than three people. My daughter had the pecan salad - absolutely delicious - the honey mustard dressing is delightfully different from the usual. My grand chose the trifecta. The waffle was light and fluffy and arrived hot! Usually a picky eater, clean plate award today! I had the lemon ricotta pancakes which were as decadent and scrumptious as they sound. Bonus to the meal - their coffee is fantastic! Smooth and flavorful with no bitterness. Thank you, Nathan! We will be back very soon. read more

Purchased a home they had put a roof on. Had a leak issue. They blamed chimney. Had everything inspected and it was roof. Fought for months for them to come fix it. They did but said the internal roof damage they'd have to come back to fix. Never heard back. Have called no response. They had some young kid named Adrian who seemed clueless. Rusty was unable to inspect any of the work as he couldn't get on the roof. Don't do it. read more

I was looking for something different and a place that had Belgian waffles and was so happy to find this place!

This place was great. Allie was incredible and food was amazing. Our first time here but definitely not our last

I felt the food options were pretty good. The wait staff hung out in the kitchen, I watched one waitress eat, drink a canned beverage and dance for the cook staff. Lots of hanging out while I waited quite awhile just to get a straw. Restaurant was messy although the staff appeared to be hanging out. Girl at the register was quick. read more

Found this place doing a google search for breakfast. Decided to give them a try. I walked in an was promptly greeted and seated. My waiter (tall person with a pony tail. Didn't get a name) was fantastic and checked on me often to see if I needed anything. I ordered the Biscuit and Turkey Gravy with eggs scrambled and Potatoes. Damn it was yummy. The gravy was just thick enough to stick to things but not so thick it was wallpaper paste. Fried Potatoes ( they were cubed) were cooked just how I like them. I can see why this place gets packed out. They do have quite a lot of health conscious items on the menu if that's your lifestyle, but there is still plenty to eat for us that prefer the more traditional style breakfasts. I will definitely be going back to try something else. read more

The food is always delicious. I love the juices and iced coffee as well. Staff is always very friendly. Prices are moderately priced.

Excellent food, tragic service... To summarize, we felt rushed from the minute we sat down, and the server was rude overall. We have recently moved here and enjoyed the First Watch at our previous home. We would love to support this location, but will have trouble returning if we have similar experiences. Brunch should be a slow, relaxing and enjoyable time. read more

First Watch - Chickichanga - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Wanted to try this place out for the first time today. Been passing by and seen that it's always busy, so wanted to see what everyone has been experiencing that I wasn't. I have to say that when I arrived that it was busy as usual, but wasn't a line at the door. I only had to wait for about 3 minutes if that. Service was very professional and polite and friendly. I was impressed of the healthy options and choices that the menu provided like gluten free toast, and organic vegetables and fruits. It was slammed pack with nice nutrition and for people on a well balanced diet or even just for those who are watching what they eat (I'm definitely none of these because I just like all foods really). I went expecting just your normal regular breakfast/ brunch place but definitely delighted to see that this was definitely different and broke away from boring breakfast places. I ordered coffee and the French toast, my girlfriend that I was with ordered the Sweet Honey Pecan salad with a Turkey Sandwich. The coffee wasn't too strong and had great flavor. Very fresh! They had a pitcher of water with glasses so that was a nice plus. Usually you'd have to order the water but they serve water already at the table. It didn't take too long to get our meals either. They came out with a nice simple presentation, which I care more about taste then how it looks. The French toast was wonderful. Nice soft but not mushy texture and could easily be cut with your fork (no knife needed). It does come with a berry compote but is on the side which is nice because it doesn't say that it comes with it on the menu. It does come with butter but honestly it doesn't need it, it's great even without syrup. So if you can't or don't want the extra calories then your not really sacrificing anything. It's still a great dish plain. My girlfriend was very happy with her order and I was even surprised because she usually doesn't order salads but is now being more conscious about what she eats so decided with one of the many healthy options. The sandwich was slightly toasted but not too much. Perfectly toasted! We even shared bacon which she likes very well done and I don't like mine as cooked as much but here we have common ground. This place makes the perfect balance for bacon. It's not to hard but not to chewy either all I can say is that it was cooked at the perfect temperature for the perfect amount of time because I have cooked bacon myself and never came out this perfect. Nathan was our server and did a really awesome job. He didn't try to rush us which was nice because we had time to look over the menu without the pressure. It was a very cool and casual atmosphere. I'd give Nathan five stars for service if I could. The only reason I'm giving this place four stars instead of five is because of the noise level. It wasn't the loudest I've been in, but it was difficult to order and talk to my girlfriend. I don't think it's the restaurants fault or anything they could do really but I have to be honest. Other than that it was overall a great experience and now know why it's packed all the time. I will be coming here again and trying some more things out while not feeling guilty afterwards. If you haven't already I'd advise to please check this place out because you won't be disappointed. read more
