In local news. Man with avocado shirt has avocado toast! Good food. Good service. Kate was our server. She was attentive, kind and had a good sense of humor. So much so that upon her suggestion to have the avocado toast was the push I needed. It was delicious. Everyone was happy with their meals. Blueberry pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes and a salmon frittata were all eaten and everyone was pleased. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Plano, Texas

We got take out and it was wonderful!! We got the Traditional breakfast. Everything was really good!

Great food! Great service! I recommend the Market Skillet Hash. My dad loves the Farmhouse Skillet Hash. We love the coffee.

Brunch isn't something that I get to experience often, but when I do I look forward to it. My sister always raves about the First Watch in Oklahoma so we decided to try the one here. Me and 10 friends came here for brunch and chose this location since they seemed like they could accommodate for larger parties. Since our party was so big they were really nice about accommodations, and they were able to get us one big large top table altogether. The server was really nice and helpful, but the overall experience was bad since the food took over 1 1/2 hours to come out. They were decently busy, but I feel like over an hour is a bit long. The food then turned out to be a bust. We all got an array of things: I started with the kale tonic juice which was amazing, and the got the Parma Skillet Hash with my eggs poached. The skillet hash was not good, it was just a bunch of sautéed mushy vegetables. My eggs were also completely overcooked with no runny yolk, and one was missing a yolk. The waitress was nice enough to give me two eggs on the side, but they were also over cooked so I gave up. I also tried the works omelette, short rib poutine, and Belgian waffle. The Works omelette was good, but it was cold by the time we got it which made it less appealing. And the short ribs wasn't something memorable. My favorite part of the meal was the buttered multigrain toast that can with the entree, and the jam. Overall this was not a good experience for all of us, the workers were really nice, but the food really lacked and it was very underwhelming for me. read more

Food good. Service always painfully slow. I am unsure if it's because I come by myself or what that they don't serve quickly but barely anyone in here when I come in the afternoon and just deathly slow service read more

The breakfast was a little froufrou for my tastes. I like a more Southern, down home breakfast and less of a health food experience. Service was lovely and everyone down to the cashier very nice; just not my cup of tea. read more

We visit First Watch at least twice a month for a group brunch. We love the food, the aesthetics, the cocktails. The only issue we ever have is seating. We always check in online and when we get there but still have to wait for 20-30 minutes to be seated. Which is fine, it's deft worth it, it just makes it seem pointless to do the online checking in and everything. Anyway, try the avocado toast, it's delicious! The chickichanga is also a personal favorite! Mimosas are amazing, and the morning glory is delightful! Come hungry, bring your friends, and be prepared to wait to be seated. But it's definitely worth the wait. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Plano, Texas

I've been a customer since that location opened in 2017-2018 and have always enjoyed the breakfast served there. In fact, it became my favorite place to have breakfast. I enjoyed the local farm to table feel, the coffee, the healthy selections. I've always taken the time to compliment the staff and place a positive review of the First Watch brand wherever I go. On 5/06/23 I dined at your Plano, Tx location which is my location of choice. While the server was very kind, the experience was less then. When we first walked in, 6 employees huddled at the hostess stand talking amongst themselves, while another person stood at the checkout stand. Neither offered to seat us or even acknowledged our presence until a server came from the kitchen and sat us. We had the pesto power bowl (they didn't put the lemon pesto vinaigrette on the dish. We also had the frittata rustica and side salad (the frittata was over way cooked, the salad wasn't dressed and the lettuce was partially wilted). Lastly, was a single lemon ricotta pancake with butter only (it came out with lemon curd only, no butter, no syrup. The pancake was cold and paled in comparison to the flavor I'd become accustomed to that made me list it as one of the best pancakes in Dallas. Our server was very apologetic and stated that most of the kitchen staff were new. We summoned the store manager (Myriam Reyes) to inform her of the experience. She apologized and also stated her staff was rather new. She handed me her business card and said to ask for her next time we're there. No offer of take off the stuff that was bad. Post pandemic, I've only been to the restaurant a handful of times. But I've noticed a marked change in quality that has made First Watch the hallmark of breakfast spots in my area. I have several other restaurant choices that includes major brands like La Madeline's, Snooze AM Eatery, and Bread Winners but I choose to remain at F.W. What's really rubbing me raw besides that prices have increased and the quality has decreased, is that the manager offered zero solutions to our issues other than talking to her staff. Spending $50 plus for substandard food requires me to reevaluate First Watch. read more

Still one of my all-time favorites! Whenever we are in town, we make it a point to come here for breakfast or brunch. I especially like the huge menu with a broad selection of healthy and natural dishes. Keep in mind that the calorie count is actually pretty high on some of these healthy dishes. Today, I ordered the power bowl with quinoa and chicken pesto. It is listed as about 800 calories. It was a bit too rich for me, but still a very tasty dish. It's actually a fairly large portion, so light eaters might want to split an order. My wife had the Belgian waffle with fruit on the side, which also was very tasty. My wife tells me that it should come with more berry compote. Keep in mind that this location can get extremely busy at times. At some locations you have to get there right at opening to avoid a wait. If you come on a weekend around breakfast or brunch time, it is very likely you'll have to wait a while. As usual, excellent food, excellent service, reasonable prices. Please build one of these restaurants in the San Francisco area. Our server today was especially friendly and helpful. She obviously wanted to make sure everything was just right. And it was! read more

First time last time. Very mixed reviews for this place. The Bloody Mary with the million dollar bacon was terrible. Bacon was undercooked and rubbery and the BM mix had an old yucky taste to it. As far as the food, the hash brown/potatoes and the pancakes were not very good but the CHICKICHANGA was great. read more

Not all First Watch restaurants are equal! I've been to this First Watch several times for breakfast with a friend. The last time was a few days ago and my breakfast was so disappointing. I ordered the Traditional Breakfast. The eggs were cold, the sausage was also cold and burnt on the bottom. The cook "cleverly" set the burnt side down but I couldn't even cut through it. The potatoes were also cold and not cooked through - inedible! The hottest item on the plate was the toast. I figure the food was cooked, sat on the counter while they were waiting for the toast to cook. The new First Watch in Allen is so much better! read more

I absolutely love first watch! Usually their food is great and service is awesome! Not this location! Yall need to get it together! Shouldn't have to wait 15 mins in an empty resturant! So the service is 0 stars. The food is just thrown on a plate eggs all broke open. If I'm paying for a meal I'd like to break the eggs open myself. Jus sayin. That's but no thx! Will not be back I'd advise you not to either read more

First time ordered, was lured by the pictures in the ordering app. I got my food, nothing about it was impressive or tasty for that matter given the price tag. I don't know if it's just this location or that's just how food is at the chain but nothing tasted great, given it had ingredients that should have made it tasty. read more

Very healthy options on their menu. Never feel guilty about having a big breakfast or lunch here. Some outside seating, but not very scenic (road/parking lot). My favorite drink is the Sunrise multicolor beverage with some tumeric. read more

A NICE cozy diner that believe in fresh, fresh and organic ingredients. I needed a place to eat before I head to Dallas Airport. And this place was close by.. Greeted by a host. She was friendly. My waiter was nice friendly and check on me often.. Food: 4/5 order the custard dipped French toast with pork sausage and a small bowl of fruits. It comes with warm syrup which I like. Also came with seem to be either raspberry/strawberry compote. I didn't care for that.. too sweet and made the French roast soggy. Customer service: 3/5 my waitress was great. She was Che king on me often. However, She payong attention to the customers that are regulars there. Which is understandable but I feel like well I won't be recommending this place to anyone.. You wont get special treatments til you're a regular. Traveling like I did. That will be hard. A gentleman who brought the food to me had my food wrong TWICE.. first time... brought bacons instead of pork sausage. 2nd time.. with powder sugar when I asked for NONE. Never once said my bad or sorry.. when I checked out. I feel invisible.. He barely speak to me, never ask if everything was ok.. NOTHING.. just carrying on a conversations with all the regulars.. No hello, nor good byes.. I like the food. But when I'm back in Plano.. this won't be the place I would visit again. Didn't feel like I'm welcome since I wasn't a regular. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Food is very fresh and tasty, but it's on the balanced side. They have both a seasonal menu and a traditional menu. They have plenty of space for both small parties or larger ones (+10), have high and low tables, and booth. Outdoors seating may be limited and it's just not covered by umbrellas so I will definitely stick to the inside since it's very open and comfortable. They tend to get busy during the peak hours, but service it's A+ and fast. I think prices are also a plus given the quality of the food. read more

I have been here numerous times and can confirm the Elevated Egg Sandwich is a great sandwich especially if you like over easy eggs. It's a bit messy to eat, but oh so good. It typically come with breakfast potatoes, but I get it with cheesy grits which are ok. The service on this visit was good. I'll be back, no doubt. read more

First what???? More like last, the place is supposed to serve organic/healthy food. My frittata was dry it barely had any smoked salmon in it. I have asked for smoked salmon and a bagel or some bread they have on the menu since I eat eggs but I am not a fan. They said they don't have salmon and bagel, although they had a couple of dishes that contained salmon. $15 for a poorly made frittata with burned onion, I don't think so. read more

Customer service starting at entry not good and waiter not attentive . The eggs were cold and brown --- potatoes undercooked and burnt at same time . Miriam, the manager, said she is working on it . I would not recommend at this time . read more

First time ever visiting this food restaurant. It had a lot of solid choices, both breakfast and lunch. The service was really nice but a bit slow for how busy they were. The ambiance was similar to your local breakfast restaurant. The food was overall pretty good. We had the grilled cheese, tomato soup, eggs Benedict, and biscuits and gravy. I think there are better, local restaurants for this type of food but you could stop here if needing something easy. read more

They always overcook the eggs in eggs Benedict. It was supposed to have avocado on it and they didn't. My side of greens had no dressing. Just plain dry mixed greens. We had to ask for water 3 times before we got any. My son's order was wrong but it took so long we didn't want to ask to have it corrected. My other son ordered a side of potatoes and we had to ask for those because they didn't come out with his meal either. read more

I come to the Plano (Custer Road) branch fairly frequently, usually in the later part of the week. I am usually treated with courtesy and prompt service. But lately that has not been the case. As an example, I went to the restaurant this morning (Monday) around noon and waited before getting seated. Once seated with a menu, no one came to check if I wanted coffee or was ready to order for 15 minutes. All walked past this invisible seated man with a menu in front of him. I left. I should point out that the place was NOT full nor were the waitstaff "rushed of their feet." That situation I could excuse. My question for management and the waitstaff is: Is it OK to keep an older single man waiting, even if he is rich and a generous tipper? Your loss; I went elsewhere and got great service and food. Apparently not as "couldn't care less" about older single male customers. For the usual service and food I had there before, I'd score you 4, but for a Monday morning snub, I give you 2 because I feel generous despite the snub. read more

First visit on a weekday morning with my daughter, her boyfriend and his parents and grandmother. Interior is roomy but it was bustling. We were seated in a separate dining room which was less crowded but very cold. Suggest bringing a jacket or sweater. I don't like overly cold spaces as my food gets cold quicker. Nice touches - the water and coffee are in carafes so you can get your own refills and the coffee mugs were a good size. The syrup for my waffle was warm, but the pico for my eggs was semi-frozen. My order was supposed to have 2 scrambled eggs but the portion was so small it looked like one. The pork sausages were flavorful but tiny. The food was tasty, and I think a good value. My daughter ordered soup and sandwich and the portion sizes were nice. The menu offers lots of choices and I would come again to try other items read more

Fabulous fresh food, an innovative cuisine, and a range of specialty drinks... but the staff make First Watch outstanding! I recommend checking in to the wait line online, but when we got there due to a bunch of tables turning over at once we were told we couldn't be seated for another 15 minutes. But when they saw my elderly in-laws needed seating the servers demonstrated true teamwork, with Amber covering for Kate (our server) while she wrapped up her business at the other tables. I was impressed with how they came together and supported each other to meet our needs. There was also a delay with the kitchen (we came at the busiest time) but Kate managed our expectations and continually checked in with us to keep us informed. The food was spectacular and my in-laws were impressed. Get the Million Dollar Bacon - it will change your life (and maybe give you a heart attack so go easy on it! ) read more

Ordered yogurt, granola, fruit cup for $12 bucks hardly any granola or fruit in a very small cup. Picture shows a bowl. My wife's food was extremely cold. Overpriced if you ask me read more

Sometimes a bit of a wait. Excellent menu - very fresh ingredients. Never disappoints.

Can't believe I had never heard of or been to this place until today! Such a cute little cafe for breakfast or brunch! The food was delicious - I loved their BLT eggs benedict! Great service. Their other food looked delicious as well, especially the omelettes and the hashes. I saw people ordering juice too, and I definitely want to try one the next time I come! I only wish their hours extended a bit later so that a late brunch was possible. But other than that, highly recommend, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Waited for nearly 30 minutes with my wife on a weekday, business was slow, few people, but we weren't waited on at all (no drinks, no one checked if we had been helped, nothing). We've been before and always figured that it was slower service because it was packed. We won't be coming back. read more
