    Everything omelette with sour cream & diced tomatoes, wheat toast & home fries. Perfect size meal to start the day.
    Shane B.

    Our breakfast was Amazing, the service was top notch and the ambiance was very clean and comfortable. This is the place to go for breakfast!

    When I asked the blonde lady if the music would be this loud the entire time at 7:00am, she initially didn't hear me and I had to repeat myself. She responded by saying that they like to keep the music at this volume. Despite this, we decided to leave.But if you like extremely loud music this is your place to be.

    The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The feeling of the restaurant was very upbeat!

    Haven't had brunch at First Watch in a while and this location was really good. Large parking lot and no wait. The atmosphere has a little something to be desired with all the traffic and the location isn't perfect when you're on the frontage road between two busy streets, but I also understand they can only do so much. Quibell, our server was fantastic. Super smiley and puts the customer first. I hope they're paying her well. I loved my French toast and I'm not a French toast guy; my spouse was a little underwhelmed with their food / taste. Payment is super easy by using your smart phone to scan a QR code on your receipt.

    lemon ricotta pancakes
    Smita N.

    First Watch is always on my to do list when I visit AZ and this visit was wonderful like the rest. The lemon ricotta pancakes had me, a certified pancake hater, eating half the plate before I realized what was going on. The blueberry lemon cornbread was to DIE for and one of my favorite seasonal menu items. The kale tonic drink also hits the spot and charges me up for the day. Service was friendly as always and made me feel very welcome. Can't wait to visit again!

    Fresh juices!

    Ate here (East Ray location) with a group of friends early in the morning on a Sunday and everything was wonderful. Our server -Vanessa- was incredible, so thoughtful and on top of it. Everything was fresh and flavorful and a few small customization requests were met with cheerful enthusiasm. Can't wait to eat here again.

    The food and service were great. Our waitress Elaine was great! Definitely try the bacon and potatoes. So good

    Pumpkin donut holes
    Michael H.

    Definitely not your generic breakfast spot, and I mean that as a compliment. Ham and Gruyère cheese omelette was amazing. Pumpkin donut holes (seasonal) were exceptional. The service awesome!

    A cute little breakfast joint hidden on the outskirts of the freeway. I just got the Belgium waffle and it was good. Nothing special or spectacular but fair for it to stand out amongst other breakfast restaurants Belgium waffles. Not really fulfilling - so if I ever go to a first watch again I would order something different. Service was a little slow for a Sunday early morning before the brunch rush.

The restaurant is attached to The Gamer's Guild game store, so we had fun shopping there first. The store has a huge selection of every game imaginable plus dozens of tables, free to play. They have an optional membership fee, which gets you discounts at various levels. We then traipsed over to the restaurant area for lunch/dinner. My daughter has celiac disease and the establishment was very sensitive to food allergies. They also supported neuro-diversity, which was great for my grandson. They also had several TV's going, kids menu games and a game library for free. My daughter got a Twisted Turkey Club, my granddaughter got kids Chicken Fingers and I got a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. All the orders came with fries. My grandson didn't eat. My daughter raved about her gluten free meal and my granddaughter just put her head down and plowed through her lunch. My sandwich was pretty good. I got the step-child of chicken pieces: it was pretty small. It still tasted fine and the regular fries were killer. The side sauces were legit as well. I recommend the bleu cheese and Gil's Buffalo sauce. We will visit again soon.

We located this Location based on one of my YELP friends that I've been following for years as she really loves Aftermath. On this occasion, we were lucky enough that they had live music. The musician was fantastic and just really talented. We ended up sitting in a nice cozy booth where we could stretch out and feel comfortable and relax. For drink drinks we ordered the old-fashioned and also the big easy. We both enjoyed our drinks and moved on to ordering Andre's. My husband ordered the aftermath burger and I ordered the meatloaf. All in all, we were really happy with our selections and actually ended up getting a second round of cocktails as they were really delicious. For this round of transition to the Cabernet red wine, which is Dauo Wines and it was really tasty. We'll definitely be back, hope that this musician continues to play live music.

When I ordered my burger, I asked for bacon and the egg, and my friend said to the waitress " make it two". Burgers came out after about 20 minutes. I asked about the wings and she had forgot to add them, so I asked her if she could still put them in and bring them out. My burger had no bacon and no egg, my friend's burger had egg, but no bacon. Fries were fried to a dark brown crisp!!! Halfway into the burger she finally came around, I mentioned that it was missing the items. She went to the kitchen and sent the manager to come to our table and see what the problem was, I simply explained that it was missing the items we added and still had no wings he said he would be right back. He came back with the check and said to us "I apologize for the issues, here is your check I only charged you for the burgers". Well geez man, thanks for not charging me for the wings that I asked for 3 times and still never received.... How kind of you sir. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING OUT THIS PLACE IT WILL DISAPPOINT
