    This place was packed at 9 am! I also appreciate the whole pot of tasty coffee. I got the healthy turkey omelet, and it had great flavor. I was not loving the deli turkey, but the flavor was great! I've always had good meals here, and the experience today was no different. Make sure to get yourself on the waitlist - the line was long!

    Kale & Fuji Apple Tonic
    Stacey B.

    We wavered on joining the wait list when he told us it would be 30 minutes on a busy Sunday morning but decided to make the best of it and sit outside on a bench to enjoy the morning. So glad we did because our table was ready in 15 minutes! Beautiful! Do yourself a favor and try the Farm Stand Breakfast tacos with a refreshing Kale and Apple Tonic to go with it. These were three very, very tasty tacos and the side cup of black beans was not overly seasoned at all which was so enjoyable. We are always amazed by how busy this place is and yet how fantastic the service is. Their training program must be truly great. Thanks for another fantastic meal team.

    It's a cute little place. The workers are very nice. It's very clean inside. The food is great. My first time at First Watch was earlier this month and I already came back a second time. I can't wait to go back again in the future to try different items on the menu

    Avocado toast
    Joshua P.

    Cute & clean & vibrant! incredibly extensive menu as well as seasonal offerings... Attention to detail you can tell is very important with the food and how it presented. A little disappointed the service was a bit lackluster and also... the Florentine eggs Benedict - only came with about a tablespoon of hollandaise sauce... It was good but not enough & was surprised I had to add salt to the guacamole... But a repeat place for sure!

    This is the breakfast bowl with sausage and I added chicken. AMAZING

    WOW. I'm so in awe of this location. I have been to 3 other locations that are nice. This location is above and beyond my expectations. From the friendliness of the hostess. To my waitress Megan. She was on top of every detail. My drink never went dry and it was service with a smile from the start. I ordered the same meal I always get at each location but I was given options that I was never asked at the others. When my food can to the table the presentation was breathtaking in comparison to the others where it's already mixed up and you have to fork through the food to see the ingredients. I spoke with the manager because I didn't want this kind of service to go unrecognized. First Watch Pittsburgh if I could give 10 starts that what you would have received. Thank you for making my day and it's only 10:30am.

    Avocado chopped salad
    David T.

    Ordered an avocado chopped salad. The salad was flavorful and certainly plentiful. Why do these chain places insist on serving non-Heinz ketchup in Pittsburgh?

    Service was fast and friendly, though not super attentive, portions were a nice size. Omelettes were fresh and tasty. Million dollar bacon was perfection. Cinnamon roll was dry (tasted baked from frozen, but homemade) but overall good. They ran out of cinnamon chips for pancakes by 11:30 am which was disappointing because boy oh boy did they sound delightful. Overall, the experience was a decent one. Menu variety and number of great flavors continue to stand out for me here, even if something is rarely the best I've had. Not a bad choice for a solid breakfast or brunch.

    Eggs Benedict
    David J.

    While we almost never eat breakfast at a restaurant when we're home, circumstances required that today. First Watch was the best fit geographically, so we entered the overflowing place. It was hectic and packed, but we only had to wait a few minutes for a table. Service was breakfasty, quick and efficient, due largely to the limited menu choices and lack of alcohol. We ordered the classic eggs Benedict, with potatoes for me. The eggs were a little disappointing, not really classic, with chipped ham instead of Canadian bacon. The sauce was wimpy too. The potatoes were good. Obviously others like this place, but I think it's nothing special and not really worth the $50 for breakfast for 2.

    Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl and Million Dollar Bacon
    Ada T.

    I absolutely love coming here. Their coffee is so much better than the other breakfast restaurants in the area and their bacon is addicting! I tried their crab omelet on their summer menu. They have a decent amount of crab with veggies. The potatoes were perfectly prepared. No complaints here! I usually come here when they first open and service is always excellent. They also have an outdoor area with a few tables.

    Tacos
    Hadley Z.

    For a franchise/corporate owned restaurant, eating here exceeded expectations. They have a fun menu with rotating specials. The breakfast tacos were great. Our server was attentive. The prices are a little high for what it is. We sat at the outdoor patio which was quaint. Overall, I would recommend First Watch to others looking for a hip but casual brunch spot.

    Front entrance

    This is a great option for fresh and healthy (if you choose) brunch items. I came with a group of 4 on a Sunday, and the crowd/wait was extensive. I checked in online ahead of time, and the system estimated a wait of 1 and 1/2 hours. We got there a bit early, but still had to wait beyond the estimated time. Once we got seated, the wait was behind us and we were greeted with delicious food and excellent service. I ordered the chickichanga, directly bypassing the many healthy options on the menu. It was definitely worth every calorie! However, my dad is on a keto diet and he had no problems finding something suitable on the menu. They even customized one of the menu items to make it keto friendly for him. To drink, I ordered the morning meditation, which was a beautiful looking drink and tasted just as good. Everyone at our table was satisfied with their food and drinks. Our server was friendly and accommodating, keeping everyone's drinks full and making sure we were all happy. Despite being a chain, this is an excellent establishment that seems to really care about providing good food and good service.

The salmon was perfectly cooked and came with flavorful farro grains, cherry tomatoes, and asparagus. Filet Mignon - 5 stars - This 8-ounce steak was cooked mid-rare as my husband prefers.

For our meals, the hostess and waitress promptly and politely served us. Here are my reviews for the foods: Pretzel bites - 4.5 stars - This appetizer was a large size. We really liked the flavor of the pretzels and the honey-mustard dip. We thought that the cheese dip was OK. Pulled-pork nachos - 5 stars - This appetizer of nachos was huge! Many tortilla chips were topped with gooey cheese, pulled pork, jalapeños, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Fried deviled eggs - 4 stars - The egg white was breaded and fried. It contained a yolk filling and was topped with a spicy jalapeño. We prefer traditional deviled eggs, but these ones tasted good. Mix-and-match soft tacos - 4.5 stars - The pulled-pork taco contained pulled pork and vegetable toppings that were very flavorful. For the brisket taco, I enjoyed the flavor of the brisket and toppings, but the juices made the tortilla soggy and caused it to fall apart. Shrimp tacos - 4.5 stars - These were on sale on a Thursday. The shrimp were breaded, and the toppings of napa slaw, mango salsa, and chipotle aioli tasted very good. Meat entrees - 4.5 stars - My husband liked the smoked chicken the most (5 stars), and he described it as being "delicious." We also ate ribs (4.5 stars), kielbasa (4 stars), brisket (5 stars), salmon (4 stars, needs more seasoning), and pulled pork (4.5 stars). Macaroni and cheese - 5 stars - My husband said that this macaroni was the cheesiest thing that he has ever eaten. He described it as "delicious." I ate some of the macaroni, and I agree that it was extremely cheesy. French fries - 5 stars - These fries were perfectly crispy and salty. Grilled vegetables - 4.5 stars - I wanted to make my meals more nutritious, so I chose a side of grilled vegetables, which are seasonal and included peppers, corn, squash, and zucchini. This mix of veggies had a very good flavor. Side salad - 4 stars - This salad contained a lettuce mix, some tomatoes, some pickled onions, and my choice of dressing. It was fresh but was slightly plain. Pork 'n beans - 3 stars - My husband ordered this side. He ate only a small amount of the beans and sauce, and he thought that they tasted just OK. For drinks, we had iced tea, diet Pepsi, and water. The waitresses brought refills.

It took them over a year to renovate it and they still aren't done in the back and the parking lot is a little rutted but the inside is very nicely done.

We had a few beers and the bartender was good. She was attentive and was waiting on 20 folks at the bar as well as table drinks. The manager was able to help serve some food to help her out but never once asked us how everything was. That was a little bit of a missed opportunity in my opinion for a new business. We ordered a breakfast burger that came with some hashbrowns on the side.

This was so very different from that same day where at our usually spot (another old bar/restaurant further down the road, "SJ") we had to walk out just after ordering lunch due to getting attitude from a mouthy waitress.
