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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

Loved every thing! Great food! Great prices! Great drinks and coffee! Service was fast and friendly. Ambience was cheery! Come try 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

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

I have celiac disease. First Watch has a few items I can eat, and they are really good! Our server was great. It's a nice place and we'll be back. read more

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

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

Fast and friendly service. The food comes out so fresh and fast. Clean and new decor. read more

Food is great, serving pretty quick. And good services too! Excellent place for morning vibe

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

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

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

The staff is always kind and very helpful. The space is so big & decorated nicely. The bathrooms are clean and fresh. The food is very good! The prices are to be expected. The staff is great at recommendations if you are unsure on what you want. When you pay you get the option to pay on your phone by scanning a QR code or going up front to the host. Love coming here for our Sunday breakfast. 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

We have been wanting to give the new FirstWatch in our neighborhood a try, but also wanted to wait a month or so for them to work out any missteps that happen with a new place. So we finally had brunch here this past Thursday morning, and so glad we did. The place wasn't very busy on that day/time. (We really like how the old sweet tomatoes place was brought back to life, it's a very comfortable clean atmosphere love the flooring :) ) Our female server (she wasn't wearing a name tag) was very good at taking care of all that we needed. She was polite to both of us without being intrusive. She brought two small carafes one with coffee and the other cold water, must say we loved that little touch. I had the Bacado omelette with thicker multi grain toast with strawberry jam and a side of greens (fresh arugula etc) you could sub their potatoes for the greens if you preferred. Id def recommend, eggs. avocado. bacon and cheese enough said Yummo. Hubs had the Shishito Breakfast Hash and potatoes with a glass of oj. Oh he also liked the cheesy grits served in their own ramekin melted cheesy goodness on top. He said he would order again, too. We liked that you could pay from the table with phone. We had a nice brunch here and recommend. About $50 for the 2 of us. Couple of side notes.. they have limited "bar" seating, several breakfast mixed drinks with and without alcohol. The restroom clean and had a changing station. I'd recommend. read more

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

Visited during grand opening weekend Beautiful restaurant, attentive and professional staff along with good food. Great experience- music was a bit loud making it difficult to hear wait staff. We will return read more

Very nice restaurant with good decor. But those Metal back chairs are horrible. Service was fast and friendly. Food was good! Nice to have another breakfast option in the neighborhood. read more

Food was great and the coffee was wonderful will definitely be back went Saturday morning around 830 and was sat right away can't wait to try other things read more

My daughter and I went here yesterday to try their breakfast. We sat there for 30mins. The waitress never acknowledged us. We watched her go to the same 3 tables but not one come over to us. One of the tables left and she still didn't ask if we needed anything. It must be a full moon this weekend for waiters and waitresses to be rude! read more

Vanessa was a fantastic server. Knowledgeable, quick and very efficient. The new location is bright and airy. Thumbs up!

Yummy food and a great customer service I will definitely be coming back with my mom and friends soon
