I was very disappointed in my visit! My husband and I left after we waited over 15 minutes for someone to take our order. It was frustrating because the restaurant was not busy! Our waitress took a long time to bring us just plain old water & then she said she would be back to take our order. She never returned and I even told the host/ manager up front we were still needing to order. Why she couldn't take our order I have no idea! We have lots of good choices here in Queen Creek so we left & went to rest elsewhere! I won't be back! read more

Don't know what the hype is all about. Long wait to get seated and once I got my food it was cold. The omelette was chewy like rubber. Very disappointed and will not come back. read more

Breakfast was amazing this morning! I had the pumpkin pancakes and shared the pumpkin spice donuts. The donuts had a great crisp, warm and soft inside. Comes with a side of caramel sauce and a frosting that is amazing! Great flavor too! The pancake was very good. Subtle pumpkin flavor that hit just right. Maple chicken/apple sausage was great too! read more

I am so disappointed with First Watch. We have eaten at this location multiple times and have always had a great experience but yesterday was Mother's Day and it was the worst experience. They decided to open the back bay and both doors on a hot day with no AC. The flies were everywhere. I spent more time swatting flies away from my food and couldn't even enjoy it because it was so hot inside. We complained and was told we weren't the only ones to do so but nothing could be done. No manager came by to apologize or even offer a discount. Then they ran out of to go boxes so I had to wrap my sandwich in aluminum foil. If I wanted to sit with the heat and flies I would have asked for patio seating. For a day that should have been stress free for a mom turned into me wishing I would have stayed home and cooked. Although our server was good and apologetic, we will never return just based on this experience. read more

I'm a huge fan of first watch. Food is always 10/10! So of course hubby and I were excited when we finally got one here in queen creek. Love the queen creek touch on the walls. We were sat rather quickly (weekday) and our server was very nice but could have been more attentive (only reason why I'm giving 4 stars) - another server had to bring us our bill and not once did she check to see if we liked our food or had any questions once food arrived. As always the food was delicious! Nice to have a yummy, reasonable priced breakfast spot in QC. read more

Hi everybody. Not too long ago a new First Watch Restaurant moved into the Queen Creek Marketplace. I went there with some friends for breakfast and I really enjoyed it. I always went to the one in Northeast Phoenix when I lived there. Their food is good. The waiters and waitresses were friendly. Donald L Rost, author of "Risen From The Dead." read more

Had high expectations for this brunch place especially seeing how many people go. Service was decent. Rating 2star because the food is soo bland. The only thing we enjoyed was the seasonal lemon blueberry corn bread and juice bar drinks. read more

I went to the first watch in Gilbert on Williams and said I'd never go back but tried the new one in Queen Creek where I live. This was a great experience. Great food fro presentation clearly a well managed store starting at the hostess at the front door who was standing outside of the restaurant. This is how it's done, whoever the manager is knows what they're doing. I ran five star five diamond restaurants in the Ritz Carlton, and some of the Hilton resorts so first watch was equally as OK the bus boy put the bus tub on one of the seat seats but the food and service were so good, fro I forgot about that point. Again right from the front door with the amazing hostess, and when we left the cashier (with the mushroom tattoo on her arm) our server, Jasmine, and everything in between. So they were busy too, pumping out the food, I need to also mention the food was excellent taste and temperature I had ricotta pancakes. My daughter had a quinoa bowl. #first watch Queen Creek rocks I'll be coming back. read more

First Watch in Queen Creek did not disappoint! The service was amazing and the seasonal suggestions were so very good! The food was done to perfection! The restaurant was clean and so very calming. Listen to your server for any recommendations they may have insight of what they tried and true to the best on menu. Million dollar bacon is the best! read more

I've been to First Watch before. The Queen Creek location just opened. I sat at the bar and waited to be greeted by the bartender. Finally I grabbed her attention and asked for a coffee. She dropped an empty mug in front of me and went off to make some drinks. She finally came back and said "There making a fresh pot." That would have been nice to know when I first ordered the coffee. I was almost done eating and she finally asked if everything was ok. I also left her a 25% cash tip... nothing. Not a thank you. Not a thanks for coming. Nothing. As I walked out three people were at the front counter talking to themselves. Nothing. Great food. I'll chalk the poor service to this being there first official weekend being open. read more

First Watch - Farmhouse Skillet - Delish! - American Near Me - Queen Creek, Arizona

The hostess was having a bad day. I forgot to ask her name but she was very rude when we asked if we could sit outside since it was a nice day. She paused and looked at us and said, ugh ok I'll have to change your location on my sheet so the servers know you guys wanna sit out." She was the shorter Asian lady, ‍ Will not come back to this location read more

We always have a good experience here. That's why we keep coming back! Never had a bad experience with the service or the food. My husband tried the chimichurri steak and eggs and it was fantastic but the blueberry lemon cornbread is out of this world! Our server, Aiden was great. Good start to my bday weekend! Yummy! read more

My visit to First Watch was for breakfast. They have a great menu and the food was delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They have a great menu to choose from and the wait is not long. Definitely my favorite go to place for breakfast. read more

Normally I really enjoy First Watch but today was rough for the cook. I had ordered the breakfast sandwich and ordered the egg over medium. They brought out my first sandwich and it was hard in the middle, nothing over medium about it. So they brought me another one after 15ish minutes and this one was worse than my first. My son had eggs Benedict and his poached eggs were basically hard boiled eggs. I didn't take a picture of that, but he said he was too hungry to have them remake it. read more

First Watch - Breakfast Sandwich with a not so over medium egg... - American Near Me - Queen Creek, Arizona

On the site of where Panera/Paradise Bakery used to be, the area in front of the restaurant has a fountain which is relaxing. It is also in a covered breezeway which is nice during the hotter months. Inside, the the decor is similar to that of other First Watch locations which has a farmhouse chic kind of flair. I did confirm that since they just opened, they don't yet do a seasonal menu...didn't get a clear answer on when that will change. I do like that you can pay with a QR code on the receipt. The waitress we had was nice, but very busy, so there wasn't that personal, hospitable touch. Asked for my Traditional to be well done and the toast was not, neither was the bacon. I actually sent the bacon back to be cooked more. They actually brought out new bacon which wasn't recently cooked, it was a well done piece from when they cooked it earlier in the morning, so it was well done, but had a hard crunch to it as it had been sitting out for a while. I do like the several types of seating configuration, including bar seating which has big windows that open to the patio. read more

It was busy so we sat the counter and did not wait (people talk to one another at the counter) the food was good and the service was excellent. The restroom was clean, Will be back! read more

Ordered from First Watch for first time through DoorDash. Food was warm, fresh and great taste. Ordered double bacon Parmesan hash and holey donuts, more than enough for two breakfasts. Looking forward to future salad and sandwich orders as all menu items look great!! read more

My wife and I ate with another couple on January 11 of 2026. My wife and I both ordered the traditional breakfast when we received it. It really looked good. The only problem is the potatoes and the eggs were cold. We had eaten there a couple of times before and had no problems, but this was not up to par. For debating on going back or not. read more

amazing service! delicious food :) came here with a girlfriend and loved it! i will definitely be returning read more

This location is in the Queen Creek marketplace location where the old Panera was. I walked in for breakfast this morning and was good from a wonderful hostess. I noticed they have fully remodeled this whole location. They went above and beyond with a new clean look. The menu has the basic breakfast with a variety of great vegetarian options, which I prefer. Our server, kylie was just excellent and knowledgeable with the menu. The manager, Anna welcomed us so warmly and appreciated our visit. It's so comforting to have a place like this near me. BTW, the food was phenomenal. read more

Best food, ambiance, and service you'll find in the valley. Such excellent hospitality. Thank you

Ian our waiter was amazing super energetic and so sweet! Food was great very yummy! I recommend this place and our server

I have eaten here a couple of times since it's opening and have been very pleased. The service is always fast and the employees are so friendly. Seating is very comfortable. The food is super tasty. I highly recommend the eggs Benedict or the turkey sausage gravy and biscuit! read more

This place is super! We enjoyed some breakfast with friends and family and we had a great time. Super cute decorations inside and very warm friendly staff. Loved the French toast, coffee, and million dollar bacon. Busy inside but service was still very quick. Can't wait to come back here for weekend brunch! read more

First time trying this restaurant. Everything was nice and clean inside. I ordered the typical American breakfast consisting of eggs, sausage links and toast. Eggs were cooked perfectly, sausages were tasty and quite large. I also tried their "million dollar " potatoes which were good. My daughter ordered a Cobb Salad. I was impressed with the size and appearance of the ingredients. We were fortunate to get the absolute nicest server. She was quick, efficient and took good care of us. We definitely like this place! read more

Eliminated the long wait by joining the waitlist on their website. Service was excellent and the food was great.

The food was good. The service could have been better, our server and bus staff were good (apparently, they are short staffed). The setting was nice (like any other 1st Watch). read more

Maybe it is just this location, but I have been in 3 times and 2 of those times I have had servers who clearly do not care about the dining experience for guests. I sat at the bar today so that I wouldn't take a table for myself since there was a long wait. It is 50 degrees outside. I ordered and received my food and immediately after she set down my plate, the server opened the patio window. A blast of cold and dust blew everywhere, including on my food. I tried to huddle in the corner so the cold breeze from outside didn't get to my food. Within 2 minutes my hot skillet was ice cold. Needless to say, I did not finish it and when I mentioned my concern to the server, she just said that the windows open at 9 AM and handed me my check without a word. So disappointing. read more

The breakfast very good! Eggs cooked per order! Crispy hash browns Ham very good! My friend really liked the meditation beverage as well! read more

The food was very good. Service was great also. A little bit nontraditional menu. But great choices. read more

The food server was horrible. She took her time to come to us. Then we ask for extra napkins she totally forgot. Then never ask if we wanted refills on our drinks. All of the food was burned and nasty. So we won't be going back anytime soon read more

We stopped by for brunch before going to a matinee of the "Superman" movie. The food wasn't super, but mediocre. I had the Tri-Fecta, While the Belgian waffle was good, the fried eggs which I specified being over medium the yokes were still runny. The apple sausage patties were okay. My brother had The Traditional and enjoyed the pancakes and bacon but also found the over medium fried eggs lacking. The service on arrival was quick and friendly but disappeared when we called for the check. Overall rating: Good but not great. read more

Food was great. Patio was nice, heaters would have been great to sit outside on a cooler morning. Service was efficient and staff friendly.

We've been to other First Watches in Phoenix and Tucson and they've always been one of our favorite breakfast places. Unfortunately this is not the case for the Queen Creek location. We stopped there in mid morning and there were very few customers and staff there. Service was great and also the server. Food was another story. We ordered 2 pancakes, 1 Belgian waffle and 2 coffees, no sides. While the pancakes were huge they were dry and nothing special. The waffle came with about 2 tablespoons of "fruit compote" and was also dry. The bill came to just under $40 with tip which I find ridiculous. read more

The food is really good here and I like the vibe. I love the Belgian waffle. The syrup bottle is warmed which is a nice touch. The service is hit and miss though. Seems like the young girls are sweet and understand customer service but some of the older (30s-40s) hostesses and waitresses need to improve their customer service game and at least act like they wanna be there. Overall good and I'll go back. read more

Food was great. Service was great. But the water is straight up pool water. You can smell the chlorine before you even take a sip. Nasty stuff. read more

Amazing as always! First time at this location. Great service and the food was incredible! French toast and million dollar bacon are my favorites. read more

Service was excellent. Food was outstanding. Unfortunately, the place was very crowded and noisy.

Food was okay, my wife and I got the potatoes. I asked for mine to be a big crispier than hers, but regardless of crispness they just tasted... not great seasoning wise. Also had a pancake that was very large but bland. There aren't really servers here, they feel more just like order takers, so if you don't like full on service then this might be a good fit for you. Been here a few times and the hosts never seem to be in a good mood... The manager is seemingly the only one who is always very nice which I suppose is a bit funny. Probably going to wait a bit before I try this place again read more

I was so excited to hear that First Watch was coming to Queen Creek! Now that it's open I have gone twice now since it opened about 3 weeks ago and enjoyed my visit each time . Absolutely delicious coffee , that you can buy bags of to take home by the way , AND the food was delicious! I love the Chicken and Pesto Power Bowl. Fresh and light. My husband enjoyed his biscuits and gravy and huge blueberry pancake. The staff was so friendly and the restaurant is open, clean and welcoming. So glad to have First Watch in Queen Creek! read more
