    Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl
    Deanna G.

    Experience here was good! Great environment and plenty of space inside for seating. The only thing I would say could be better is when you order chilaquiles is being asked how you like your egg. Ours came out fried I prefer it to be sunny side up. Other than that the food was good I would definitely come back again.

    Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash
    Sydney N.

    The seasonal Chimichurri Steak and Egg Hash was delicious! Staff was friendly and attentive, food arrived in a good amount of time. No wait on a Monday morning for brunch. Bright airy vibe, everyone was enjoying themselves.

    We randomly chose a brunch spot one Saturday, and it's now our go-to. We typically snag a seat at the bar, and have enjoyed every experience! Everything from the Million Dollar Bloody Mary, to the (now gone) Cereal Milk or just a regular cup of Joe alongside our Smoked Salmon Benny, Avocado Toast, or Pesto Chicken Bowl... it's all been fabulous! And Vanessa... not sure how she manages all that she does, but she's ahhhmazing - every time!

    Biscuit Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs
    Holli A.

    I have not tried this location before and haven't eaten at a first watch in a while. My daughter and I decided to check it out . When we entered the restaurant, we were sat right away. Our server came to the table and greeted us. She was very nice and took our drink order. She came back to the table in minutes with our drinks and gave us some input on the menu. She strongly suggested, ordering off the seasonal menu since it's ending in a couple days. We ordered off their seasonal menu. For a starter we ordered the bacon cornbread and the BEC sandwich and the turkey sausage biscuit and gravy. Our cornbread came quickly, and the food came shortly after. The cornbread was tasty, and I really enjoyed the sweet butter on top of it. We actually asked for additional butter. I'm so happy we did. Everything we ordered was amazing. Our eggs were done perfectly.. soft scrambled. I would definitely recommend FW and plan on returning.

    Market hash
    Nicole R.

    I came in for breakfast on a Sunday morning with a friend and we were quickly seated. I ordered the market hash and got my eggs poached. I didn't love how the eggs came out and the dish itself was a little lacking in flavor. Our waitress was nice but she gave us the check super early on which I find to be poor service. This first watch location is very spacious inside.

    Wow wow wow!!! First Watch never disappoints, and this experience is by far the the best I've ever had with them! From getting seated to leaving was a 45-minute no-rush experience. It was pretty much flawless! The food quality, the atmosphere, and the service were all spot on. I love breakfast places anyway, but this visit made me love breakfast even more! I'll 100% come back!!

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
    Jon H.

    I've been to another First Watch location on several occasions, but have heard this one is a bit unique with its placement near the Ahwatukee Foothills. I wanted to check it out for myself as I know the views are very breathtaking in this area. We were greeted quickly and immediately had our table, even though it was fairly packed. Service was done with a smile and everyone was friendly. All pluses in my book! The only drawback was it was on the noisy side, making conversation slightly challenging at times, but still very enjoyable. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes with strawberries. The pancakes were slightly on the dry side and needed a few more minutes soaking in syrup to really hit the right spot. The strawberries and lemon custard definitely helped though, kinda shook things up a bit and added a juicy yet creamy consistency to each bite and great flavor. I enjoyed it! On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd definitely hit it again! Seems like there's a number of spots in Ahwatukee I have yet to experience that I need to explore!

    This located recently opened in my neck of the woods and I had been wanting to try it! Naturally, going during the holidays it was likely busier than usual as the place was packed upon entering. Despite that, we were able to be seated immediately. It WAS in the middle of the restaurant and slightly uncomfortable- but something I can easily speak up about if it happens again. Service was excellent; everyone was friendly and efficient. I ordered the avocado toast which was plentiful and tasty. The toast itself was a bit dry/chewy but the topping was great! All in all, it was a nice breakfast place and I'd likely return and hopefully we can try more things in the future!

    Visiting from the Bay Area and let me say, first watch never disappoints! Amazing food and atmosphere always! Shout out to Vanessa, our server. She was super welcoming and attentive to all our needs. Thank you Vanessa for the great experience .

    Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl

    First time going to First Watch and excellent ambience. You walk in and the dining area is wide and open with natural lighting. They do have a bar area indoor and outdoors. The food delicious!!! A total of 5 of us that went and were able to pick something different from the menu as shown on the pictures below. Everything was delish with no complaints whatsoever. We will definitely be going back to try other things in the menu.

    Chickichanga
    Chloë J.

    We had a great experience! We waited no longer than 5 minutes on a Sunday morning. Everyone who attended to us was very friendly and helpful. I made a comment to who I believe was the manager, that I had not known about this location, we had a nice conversation about their 1 year anniversary being around the corner! I'm glad to have first watch a little closer to home. The food was delicious!! I religiously get the chickenchanga and it has not let me down once.

    Vannessa was our server and was really great. Her service was excellent and I would definitely just be coming back for her and the food. We got something off of the summer menu as well, and it was delicious. Thanks!

    Best food and service ever!!

    Amazing food, and incredible service as always. Blueberry lemon cornbread needs to stay on the menu. It was amazing.

    Do not buy this drink it does not look like the picture. It does not taste good it is gross.

Sadly, I could only eat one thing off the menu. I don't really trust the macro calculations either since I do my own meal prep and generally know the portions sizes for certain macros and the portions seem bigger than the given macros listed on the container. That being said, customer service was great. The person helping meal even warmed up my meal for me which apparently they don't do for the refrigerated options, so I appreciated that. They do have a lot of options but I would not necessarily describe them as "clean". Macros are not very good. Looks like you get a lot more options if you are doing a low carb/high fat. I have a pretty even macro split between carbs and protein with low fat, and there wasn't much for me.
