Highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast. We brought a family group of 14 and the service was excellent. Our waitress was highly organized and efficient. We ordered a large variety of items, including 4 kids meals and everyone got what they ordered and were happy with their meals. My brother especially liked the chicken sausage and husband enjoyed his omelet. read more

The best brunch in Ahwatukee! The food is always amazing and fresh, and I love the rotating menu. The indoor-outdoor space has a great open vibe, and the staff is incredibly courteous. I usually treat myself by sitting at the bar after the gym on weekends , and Vanessa is an awesome bartender. It's become a regular bright spot in my week. Highly recommend! read more

Super fun, fast and delicious breakfast joint. The million dollar bacon is so good we ate it without taking a picture. read more

First Watch - Double Crunch Breakfast Tacos - Yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I don't feel like reaching out to the manager so they can "cater" to my experience to improve my opinion is the best way to improve my experience, so I did not reach out. We ordered a pick up order this morning and it was supposed to be finished at 9:21. It was not. They do not have effective systems in place for how they run things here. They put a completely different name on our order because spelling is hard. And I bet you are thinking, why not just use the ticket from the order to label the bag... Me too! So instead of looking to see if that was our ordered they made us wait another 20 minutes for our order. This place is not worth going to. We are done. So many other breakfast places in Tukee that are family owned. They will get my business. read more

Food is delicious especially the waffles and the avocado toast : ) but variety of menu options.

We are regulars in this location and the service, staff and the food is always top notch! We get treated so well each time and Vanessa is always on point and takes such great care of us. She really knows her craft and we enjoy our experience everytime. She's a gem! We don't go anywhere else for bfast but this spot! read more

The customer service was excellent! The food was very good, as requested. I highly recommend this eatery, we will back read more

First Watch - Traditional breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Heard great things about this place and had to come try it out. I went in on a Tuesday morning and unfortunately there was no host available, service was decent and the inside of the restaurant is massive and had plenty of seating area. There was also a nice bar area if you're looking for some drinks as well. The food was great the cinnamon pancake plate was awesome and the omelette was done very well. The golden cinnamon roll was alright, nothing crazy, I wouldn't recommend it. Other than that I highly recommend coming if you're looking for a great breakfast spot. read more

So far this location has been a hit or miss. When it's good it's great, but when it's not it's real bad. Service- Again, when it's good it's great. Hosts and servers are super friendly. When it wasn't so good the host was still great. But my server on a particular day was awful. She didn't share her name when first coming to take my drink order. Moves at a snails pace, didn't check on me once during my meal (I had to stop her to ask for things), she didn't make eye contact, smile, nothing. Just overall terrible. This particular female may have been young/new to the game. So if management takes notice she definitely needs more training. Food- I've had some great meals here. The French toast is so good, as are the waffles. I also love the option for turkey sausage (not a fan of regular sausage). Pancakes aren't bad but you really have to like the multigrain taste. Bacon is either not good quality or the cooks fudge it up a bit. I believe one visit it was good, but lately it's been diner bacon quality and over cooked. It's a bummer their "sourdough" toast was basically white bread/real low quality sourdough. read more

BEST BRUNCH OPTION in Ahwatukee! Been coming here since it opened! Great service, solid menu, VANESSA behind the bar is phenomenal! Open bar and patio a nice bonus! read more

SO happy there is a First Watch within minutes of my house! I'm very pleased with the restaurant layout, service, and food. The restaurant is huge and the two times I've been have been busy with either no way time at all or very quick! The food is just as good as the other locations I've frequented and the server was very attentive. This is my favorite First Watch location so far! read more

It's okay. There's other locations that are better than this one. They burnt the pancake- it was not fluffy like the other location. The server didn't seem to know the menu very well. Also upcharge the pancake by $1.20 when the menu listed it at a lower price. Felt rush, server gave us the check when we weren't even done eating. Going back to our usually Ray location in Chandler. read more

Excellent service and friendly, staff always willing to accommodate customers. Vanessa, our server, was especially awesome. So welcoming! Consider us now regulars! read more

The food was okay I got the French toast and while it was good. It wasn't thick and decadent like the menu described was thin and flat. The waitress was nice and helpful. And the place its self was nice well lite and decor was cute. Wish the French toast was better. Nothing like these amazing pictures. From others read more

Love the food and atmosphere but the last few times I've gone the customer service is poor. We sat at the bar and the server took 20-30 minutes just to take our order. She kept brushing us off. If you want poor service and love a rude server, Jackie would be happy to help. read more

This is a cute little restaurant with barn style vibes. It was a hot one, and I didn't want something heavy, so the waitress suggested the powerful plate with chia pudding. It was fantastic! Fresh fruit, amazing flavor. My family got the buscuits and gravy and the simple breakfast. Both are very delicious. We also opted to try their Muffin of the Day, which was chocolate chip. It was tasty! Not too sweet, fluffy, and delicious. Definitely would recommend it. read more

I was a little sad returning to the past home of our Ahwatukee Sweet Tomatoes but they did a fantastic job remodeling it into a huge First Watch. The restaurant is big and beautiful, and the food and staff are excellent. We did have a slight problem with our food but they fixed it and took it off the bill. The food was so fresh tasting and the prices are very reasonable. We are so happy to have a First Watch close to our house. read more

Beautiful location, amazing service, subpar food. My HB and I were served burned seasoned potatoes (hash browns), some of his were partially raw. Not sure how that can happen, but it did. Other food items were good, but burned potatoes were a deal breaker. We're going to assume it was a one off, but tbh someone decided it was ok to serve. read more

I usually love this place! So I was super bummed out when I was talking all good about it and brang my girlfriend there for a nice brunch on Thursday, unfortunately didn't live up to the same standard it was before our server younger gal Emily was super short with us the whole time she argued when I ordered soup instead of salad with my sandwich and overall had a pretty poor attitude (not what I'm used to with first watch) then the food came out and my bread wasn't toasted the substitutions I made (no tomatoes) was not fulfilled and the bacon was serverly over cooked(there bacons the best part usually) not to mention the iced coffee we got served the cup had cream all over it super messy and unpleasant. I will not being going back to this location again maybe I'll just make the longer drive next time I want a nice brunch spot. Super disappointed. read more

Breakfast was absolutely delicious!! Everything I ordered was fresh, hot, and tasty!! Would recommend over and over again.

Just finished the breakfast tacos and a kale tonic. AMAZING! The flavor of the Cajun chicken blended well with the chorizo, cheddar and Monterey Jack, avocado and pico on corn soft shells. Check it out! The staff is super friendly and inviting. Servers, August and then Vanessa at the bar were very enthusiastic and happy to explain the menu. Come see them and their smiles. read more

I went to First Watch on Ray Rd in Phoenix and had the best half ham sandwich and Honey salad. It was amazing for the price..I can't wait to go back and the server was fantastic...thank you for having such a clean pleasant yummy place for us to eat.. read more

This place was amazing. Too notch food and service. Looking forward to our relocation so that we can frequent this establishment.

We just came here for breakfast and it honestly was the best experience. The food was so delicious and everything was prepared so perfectly. I want to give a special thank you to our wonderful server, Julie and the hostess whom I didn't get to grab the name of. My brother is on the spectrum and Julie was the sweetest and made him feel so special, even getting him a birthday surprise as she sang happy birthday to him!! As we were going to pay at the front, the hostess found out it was his birthday and applied an additional coupon. She was so sweet and made him so happy. Will definitely be returning!! read more

Went for brunch & my frittata came runny w/o avocado until I asked the waiter. His response: I will get if for you. I cannot remove additional charge, ride! Then my husb poached eggs were hard. My advice: be specific on your order or else.... read more

First Watch - One hard egg & one runny. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict. Salmon was cold, eggs were cold, breakfast potatoes were ok, but not as good as hashed browns. My Coffee was luke warm & mediocre. I really expected a lot more from this restaurant. I'm definitely going to give them a second try, but the performance was rather lacking today. To the ambience and environment, I would give 100%. They need more, any vegan options. Service was excellent. read more

We loved everything about this place, the vibe, the food. Will definitely go again and recommend when we are in AZ.

Been patiently waiting for restaurant to finally open. Been to other locations and always consistently very good. You did not disappoint. The restaurant is very nice inside, airy and I do like the bar area outside. Food is very good. read more

Went to the new First Watch that just opened and the service and food was excellent! Our waitress was so friendly-kudos to her! We had the biscuits and gravy and the Belgian waffle-love the compote. I really hope this location does well-we will be back! read more

We've been visiting First Watch for breakfast at least every other day, and it's consistently fantastic. The service is always top-notch, with staff who go above and beyond to ensure a delightful experience. The food is exceptional--always fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. My son and I couldn't be happier with our frequent breakfast outings here. It's our favorite spot to start our day right! read more

Ordered traditional breakfast eggs over easy, ham, upgraded potatoes (NO PARSLEY, or green onion. The breakfast was just ok. Eggs were more like sunny side up, thin ham slice was dry. I specifically asked for no parsley/green onions on anything and it still had them on the eggs. This is one of those places that thinks the more green onion/parsley they use the fancier it is...it ruins the meal and it doesn't turn a cook into a chef. blueberry pancake was DELICIOUS!! Service was very good and place was clean read more
