Me and my husband ate at this location. I ordered the Balbacoa Chilaquiles for the first time to try it and the tortilla chips are soft not crispy but the picture outside the store looks very different. There's only 3 small pieces of beef meat and more of sauce and cheese. The server did not even ask if we want some water or should we be the one to ask for it? Not satisfied at all. read more

First Watch to-go for the win! I got the barbacoa breakfast tacos with seasoned potatoes, and everything arrived warm and delicious. It seemed to arrive faster than the estimated time, and I have zero complaints. Now, I'm able to stay in my PJs, watch a few episodes of my show, and no Saturday morning cooking or cleaning in my near future. Excellent! read more

First Watch - Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos with Seasoned Potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Riverview, Florida

This restaurant was a no brainer after a great workout at OTF last Saturday. This place was bustling with people but the wait time was under 3 minutes. Our waiter, Hunter, brought me to the table for 2 and promptly pulled my seat out for me. A true gentleman. When my friend arrived, he continued giving us great service, explaining items on the menu and always making sure we were satisfied. When we finished eating he encouraged us to take our time, assuring us he was still there to help even though he was on to the next new table. During this visit, the highlight wasn't the food or my lavender lemonade. It was Hunter. read more

Went to First Watch in Riverview FL today for brunch. They had a fabulous Polidori Italian sausage sandwich called The Italian Stallion on their seasonal menu. My husband and I tried it and were blown away!! Great tasting sausage sandwiched between focaccia bread with egg and bacon. Totally worth trying, you won't be disappointed Our server Quashaun was very attentive and engaging. Super experience read more

Very poorly done. Takeout order missing items, wrong items, no napkins or plastic silverware.

Love First Watch for breakfast! Fruit was fresh, bacon crispy and the biscuits and gravy were delightful! The staff greeted us with a smile and very attentive! My veteran father asked specifically for one ice cube in his milk and got it liked asked! There was lightly sound music playing throughout breakfast which was pleasant! Will definitely return read more

Went in early on a Sunday morning for breakfast. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. Our server was pleasant, quick, and efficient. I enjoyed a Solid breakfast. Portions were generous. I had the million dollar bacon (for the table) and the Farmhouse Hash with gluten free bread. Everything was fresh and delicious. Cooked and seasoned well. I highly recommend. read more

First watch does not disappoint in any city I visit. Took myself to brunch and enjoyed a morning meditation with a boost drink and a trifecta with waffles, cheese grits and bacon. So good! My traditional go-to and I don't even need a menu. Service was excellent! Quashaun was my server and he was super attentive. The restaurant was super busy and they were getting people in and out smoothly. I think one of the best experiences was the hostess at the front and register with the pigtails and ribbons in her hair. They all had amazing customer service but her friendliness elevated my experience. Great job to this location. 10 out of 10! read more

The restaurant is in a strip which makes parking limited and semi-difficult. There is indoor and outdoor eating areas. I had the Salmon Eggs Benedict (eggs over easy instead of poached) it was EVERYTHING! The only thing I altered was the eggs and when I say I cleared my plate, that's an understatement. It really was delicious. My server was amazing also but I accidentally tossed the recipe with her name on it to give her the proper credit. There is no military discount. read more

So disgusting. I ordered online for the 2nd time hoping the first time was a glitch... NOPE. Food is disgusting. We spent $47.00 on 2 breakfast and a side. Taco shells for breakfast taco was soaked and stuck to container and when picked up fell apart into corn mush (yuck) due to whatever liquid in the container? The eggs were ice cold, potatoes burnt and side of mango sauce donuts? burnt. This is our anniversary and we just wanted a fun day to eat in and watch movies and this blew both our moods. Shame on you first watch for serving such crap food. Bigger shame to the manager for allowing it to go out. I even asked they separate the shells to avoid this and no one did that. Do not waste your time or money here. 2nd time we could not eat the food and paid close to $100 for the last two online orders and both sucked. This was our special day and we wasted money again at first watch. You call first watch healthy ? not sure soaking wet breakfast tacos, uncooked burnt potatoes and burnt donuts is exactly on my menu choice of healthy ... just disgusting. read more

hash, average for me Maybe I should try their pancakes Good portion, fair price ........... read more

It's been awhile since I have been here and I wasn't as impressed as I had been. There weren't many patrons, but our server was never around. She did bring us a pot of decaf, but after filling our mugs, there was only a tiny bit left and she was nowhere to be seen. I ordered the two eggs over easy, toast, bacon and potatoes. My food arrived hot, which I like. The eggs were good, but the potatoes were over salted to the point I couldn't eat them. The toast was so thick, and served cold, that none of the butter was melted. The bacon was decent. Certainly not the best breakfast I have had here. read more

On a return trip to visit family, I got to return to this location. It had been a few years and seems they've worked out the kinks of being new. The food is always excellent. They never fail in this category. I had million dollar bacon and my usual blt eggs Benedict. The service was great and the restaurant is always beautiful. I'm happy to see that this location is thriving. read more

Of course First Watch is always solid. I had the traditional avocado toast with eggs, medium. I also asked for extra lemon and olive oil for the avocado toast. The service was super quick. They had me in and out within 20 minutes. They also were able to provide me with oat milk for my coffee. I also ordered a side of chicken sausage which was two patties and more than enough from a protein perspective. They have the cutest outdoor space for small or large parties to eat. I'll be coming back. read more

Perfect spot for brunch. I love their drinks they always have new drink options to try. read more

First Watch - Chimichurri Steak & Egg Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Riverview, Florida

My sisters brought me here on Thursday morning and my breakfast was so delicious I wanted to bring my wife back. So on Saturday morning we decided to do just that and dine here. My wife did an online reservation because the wait it usually long according to my sisters of ( approx 20-30 ) minutes. We were sat within 10 minutes and because of the reservation we didn't have to wait as long as others. My wife had the healthy turkey omelet with fruit and her beverage was the morning meditation. I had the biscuit, with a side of bacon and eggs so I could make my own biscuit sandwich with a glass of fresh orange juice. I ordered the same thing on Thursday and it was more food than I could eat but today it was a much smaller amount. I spoke to my server about it and the manger "John" fixed it and he also explained why it was a difference. I was very pleased with the service we received and that the manger himself took care of it without any issues with my complaint. Everything was hot upon arrival to our table and it was all very delicious. The meal was not very expensive and it was about average but the food was much better than some of your other chain breakfast restaurants. I will definitely return to this location because of the service and taste and quality of the food. If I could change anything it would be the level of noise but I know that the establishment is not to blame for that.... read more

Such good service and an amazing brunch selection! The outside seating is so nice and everyone is so friendly!

I love first watch. Their food is so fresh. They're million dollar bacon is to die for. It can get expensive. But that's because it's not diner food. It's actually very nice quality. The atmosphere is a little noisy at times. They have a very nice menu, the service is excellent. They also have takeout. You order online and they tell you how long before it'll be ready just go pick it up. So convenient when you don't feel like going out for breakfast. read more

First Watch is my favorite breakfast place. I always order Scrambled Eggs, biscuit and turkey sausage gravy. It is absolutely delicious! I also LOVE their Tomato Basil soup and half a vegetarian sandwich. The sandwich is loaded, the bread is out of this world. Their tomato basil soup is thick and delicious. It could really be called a Bisque. First Watch, I'm a big fan! The restaurants are always clean, wait staff is friendly. Overall a very good experience at both the Brandon store and the Riverview store!! read more

Can I start by saying our Server Joey was amazing. Incredibly friendly, funny and entertaining. He made this experience so enjoyable. Food was great and super good value. We got the French Toast, Brooklyn Sandwich and donuts. We also splurged and got the Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk cocktail. Absolutely fantastic. The negatives that stopped this getting 5 stars are it's very loud and the bathrooms are disgusting. You can reserve your table through their app however the app is not compatible with certain phones. They also have outside seating Water 7/10 read more

I'm a First Watch regular because they have my new favorite drink (bar none or time of day) the Spiked Lemonade. I believe it is the Purple Haze with New Amsterdam Vodka added. One of these days I'm going to go in, sit at the bar and not even order food, LOL. Today I wanted to try their new seasonal Steak & Bacon breakfast burrito. I don't eat pork so it was just a Steak breakfast burrito for me. Just when I was wondering "Where's the Beef" there was plenty of steak that had accumulated in the center of my burrito. The meal was good, not great, and the red sauce is spicier and better tasting than the yellow sauce they add atop the other side of the burrito. read more

We visited First Watch on a Saturday around 12pm on US 301, by Big Bend Rd in Riverview, Fl. Mariah was super kind & sweet. Very attentive, kept checking up on us! The wait time was minimal, and the food came out nice and hot. We enjoyed our time here, and the warm cozy environment. Thanks First Watch. read more

Would give 0 stars if possible. Food was terrible, items missing, service was poor. Accused of not paying although we had the receipt and proof of payment. Of course 2 black women were targeted. Will never step foot in your racist, poorly run establishment again. read more

Well we finally broke down and tried it for breakfast after over a year of driving by. First off it's a nice open and airy Resteraunt very pleasing to the eye. Service was great and enough menu choices for breakfast to give you some options. Food was good, not overly spectacular but good. Their signature bacon was good but be prepared for some after shock with the cayenne or whatever it was that wows on it. We'll try again at some point for lunch and explore those op read more

Wife got a free birthday meal so off we go. I usually get the breakfast chicken tacos but that has been replaced by beef barbacoa tacos so I tried them. Very disapointed they were tasteless. They full of stuff but no flavor at all. Inate them because I was hungry. Wife got blueberry pancake which is half the size of what it used to be. I appreciate the birthday gift but actually we'd rather eat elsewhere read more

Good as always. We went today for a breakfast. The environment is very nice, staff are friendly. The coffee is good. Good is delicious. They stopped the fall menu, so we tried different things. A croque monsieur and Barbacoa tacos. The tacos were a little spicy. I liked, but it has to be said for people, because is not in the menu and some people are sensible with hot food. In a week they will change the menu, so we need to return soon to try new things! read more

A June the Raccoon Review ***** First Watch***** Riverview Parking is tight at this location and to say this is a busy place is a huge understatement. The place is larger inside than it appears out front. Very cozy décor with booths all around the parameter and farmhouse style tables in the middle. And let me tell you, it gets loud in there with all the people and the bustling kitchen which can be seen through the big open window to the back. Despite the crowds, the wait was very reasonable. Service started promptly and food did not take longer than I would expect given the day. Our server was attentive without being invasive. I ordered the 2 For You lunch with the Cobb salad and the tomato soup. I also added some of their whole grain artisan toast as a side. My lunch companion ordered the Market skillet hash plate with eggs over medium. We both had water which was cold but missing one of my favorite components, ice. Very much missed. My soup was the highlight on my plate. Very bright and flavorful. The toast was a much needed addition to dunk into the soup. I was disappointed the side order of toast consisted of only 1 small piece. My salad was small and on a bed of room temp mixed greens, a no no for a Cobb as far as I'm concerned. It really was missing that cold crunch. The toppings were ok other than the "roast turkey" which really smelled and tasted like cheap children's sandwich meat diced up and thrown on top. The dressing was a surprise hit as it tasted homemade and had lots of noticeable fresh herbs in it. My companion's meal was quite delicious and a decent portion. The potatoes with roasted onions and tomatoes were especially satisfying. The only fault I could find in it was that the diced bacon mixed in tasted a bit burnt. For a breakfast/brunch place the pricing is a little high, but that's what is becoming the norm. Our 2 meals, no drinks came to just under 29.00 before tip. Overall it was about an average dining experience. It's a place you have to be in the mood for. I am giving it 3 out of 5 cookies on my cookie rating system. read more

Love this place! It's our go-to spot for Sunday breakfast or brunch. We've always been taken care of by staff. Always friendly faces. We tend to go on Sunday's, a couple of hours before they close, so there's a nice chill vibe there at that time. Needless to say, if you haven't experienced First Watch food before, please do. It's absolutely delicious. First Watch is what IHOP and Denny's want to be when they grow up. Definitely try their million dollar bacon and their signature toast! Those two things alone are worth the trip. read more

First Watch is a fantastic Farm to table fresh Florida breakfast chain. A gem of a find in the Big Bend/301 South Riverview area. I was VERY excited to see gluten free options and substitutions (they do use common cook sources use caution if that's a problem for you) I ordered the Avocado Toast (sub Udi's GF Bread) Yum. It was actually so good I went took my husband back two days later and had it all over again. He loved their biscuits and gravy. I was happy to see the measures set in place to protect the customers and the staff. The food is awesome, the price is mid grade, the service is fast safe and courteous. If you're in the mood for breakfast, I cannot recommend First Watch more highly. Enjoy! read more
