    The Italian Stallion

    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

    Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos with Seasoned Potatoes
    Andrea F.

    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!

    Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs

    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

    Morning Meditation with a boost
    Tiffani S.

    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!

    Delicious, the breakfast is my favorite choice. Quick service service and excellent customer service.

    Salmon Eggs Benedict
    Latasa M.

    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.

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

    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.

    Chimichurri Steak & Egg Hash

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

    Biscuit, bacon and scrambled eggs

    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....

    Will return. This is the second First Watch we've breakfast. Same rustic decor and same good service. Food all look good, except my smoke salmon is bit saggy.

This is a small restaurant with booth and table seating. As we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly server who instructed us to sit wherever we like. The menu covers everything from breakfast to dinner. My wife and I shared the ultimate skillet, which was one of the specials offered on a Saturday. It was stacked with homefries, vegetables, meats, gravy, and cheese. It was a great value at $15. The flavor was outstanding. I will mention one negative. The parking situation is not good. I did not see many spots available. I just happened to get a spot right in front of the restaurant but I feel like we will struggle to find parking if it's busy. We were provided exceptional service the entire time. I will absolutely return to A&G to try more of the menu.

I also love their steak tips, when they are on special. Their grape leaves platter and fried seafood platters are also some of my regulars; just make sure you have a big appetite if you order either because they are substantial!

Food smashed into the dirty carpet, menus smeared with grease, slimy handprints on every glass and plastic surface. Is the place cleaned by toddlers?! If the missed health standards aren't enough to deter people (wish I'd read those beforehand), the layers of grime should be a red flag. If that's what customers are seeing, imagine the kitchen. Also, the food was bad. Like everything. Grisly gnarled chicken, inedible, dry cornbread, and nasty mac and cheese. I didn't try anything else because it was so gross. My family members also hated their food. Staff waited until the last minute to refill things as it seemed like someone is opting to cut some sharp corners. Again, I felt bad for everyone working there. It seemed busy enough to turn a profit, yet there was something depressing about the vibe.
