    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!

    Teresa A.

    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.
