    This is toast???  WTF?
    Kyle T.

    Now, I have to say that I have been to several of these places before...FL, OH and I think some other places...this one just happened to be pretty bad! Now the biggest thing was not the service which was pretty good, ambiance was good, coffee..OK. The big thing with this one was the food. Maybe I ordered wrong, maybe I was expecting too much, I don't know! Now I admit, I ordered a frittata instead of an omelette ...what was I thinking. I really wanted toast too and it said it came with toast, like any breakfast thing! Now when this showed up the issue was it wasn't really a Frittata ...it tried but was a very poor example of one. It also didn't come with toast! It came with this like half a soft breadstick thing..that wasn't really uncooked but was far from toasted...and it had way too much of like this butter substitute on it! To be clear, it was gross! This is not normal for this place, this chain..or maybe it is...I guess I will have to pay attention next time and not order the Frittata ! KT

    Stopped in on the way to the airport. Food amazing ! Service even better. It's a great breakfast spot. I have the seasonal special steak and eggs special. Large portions. There pancakes and waffles were a hit with the grandkids.

    Granola Bowl

    Birthday Brunch! It was my birthday this day and it was a great start at First Watch. Prompt service, delicious food with healthy options, I had the power wrap and kids granola bowl, both were excellent! Ambiance was delightful!

    Seasonal donut holes, power wrap

    As someone who boycotted First Watch for the past 10+ years due to poor experience at the Kirkwood location, I can honestly say today's meal changed my opinion!!! The seasonal donut holes were fabulous and the apple butter from it paired well with the power wrap. Our server was so kind and the location itself was nice. We enjoyed the patio space :) Thanks for changing my mind!

    Another breakfast date with hubby and it was a success. Chanel was our server and I must say she was great. She was very helpful, friendly, eager to assist and available at all times for any of our needs . I ordered an omelette with all the fixings i personally crave and a seasonal fruit bowl. Hubby ordered the elevated egg sandwich and cheesy grits and seasoned potatoes. For drink we ordered the pitcher of Blackberry Bramble Sangria. Hubby was so excited I had to hold him back from searching for the chef to kiss on the lips lol. 10/10 meal today . Service was quick and fresh to order! Kudos to management!

    Let me just start off by saying I have an obsession with both carrot cake and juicing so to get both in one sitting was awesome! The Kale Tonic breakfast drink is always one of my go TOS's here. It's the perfect balance between savory and sweet. That Carrot Cake Pancake deserves its own shine because that thing was stellar! The food was amazing, and so was the atmosphere! It was the perfect zone for morning reflection and my waitress was super nice with great conversation. I enjoyed the food very much it was so fresh and seasoned to perfection. I will be returning to this location.

    Fruit
    Nadya N.

    I placed an order online today for pickup and received burnt food. My potatoes were burnt to a crisp, my French toast was slouchy and not done in the middle. I ordered the Floridian French toast and the fruit was browning and looked old. I called and asked to speak with a manager and was on hold for 20 minutes and no one ever came to the phone. I made all the way to work with nothing to eat though I just spent money and tipped. I'm never going back to this place. I don't recommend ordering from here. It's not worth your time, money or energy. I will be disputing the charges on my credit card. I am very irritated that someone would burn food to a crisp and serve it to someone, who clearly stated to lightly cook potatoes!! WOW! THANKS ALOT!

    Hungry for breakfast and this was close by. Got a carrot cake pancake... One was plenty. Great service. Everything went right. Was just me and they got me in quick despite the crowd. Family friendly and good parking... But place was pretty busy. Kept me filled with my drink and I'd come back in a flash!!

    Million Dollar Bacon!
    Darla E.

    I always enjoy the experience and the food here. My last visit was with a group of friends, 9 of us to be exact. I joined the waitlist online but could only list for 6. I was able to call the restaurant and confirm with the manager that they could handle a large group. We got seated and perused the menu. We had to try the million dollar bacon and let me just say it melts in your mouth. Oh my it's so delicious and maybe it's because I haven't had bacon in forever but I don't remember bacon tasting that good! I settled on the chickichanga omelette with breakfast potatoes. I was very satisfied and already craving more. And of course I washed it all down with the kale tonic because...you gotta get your veggies right? I enjoyed my cheat day, hope you enjoy yours.

The truly unfortunate part? We were entertained right up until the musician stopped singing and started communicating. Apparently, the microphone was doing a lot of heavy lifting for his personality. Great voice. Terrible decision to introduce us to the man attached to it. While taking a break from performing, he came onto the deck where I was sitting with my friend and decided that publicly talking down to and humiliating a woman was how he wanted to spend his intermission. The interaction was misogynistic, demeaning, disrespectful, unnecessarily cruel, and an absolutely bizarre amount of hostility to direct toward a woman he doesn't even know. Here is the thing about rape culture: it does not exist only in the most extreme acts. It is also sustained by the everyday normalization of misogyny, humiliation, hostility toward women, and the expectation that women should quietly tolerate degrading behavior and call it a joke. When a grown man feels comfortable publicly belittling a woman and everyone around him is expected to dismiss it as harmless banter, that behavior contributes to the same culture that teaches men their hostility toward women is acceptable and teaches women to simply endure it. Imagine being hired to entertain customers, successfully entertaining them, and then using your break to personally ensure they never come back. That is a level of customer service I almost have to respect for its efficiency. What bothers me almost as much as his behavior is knowing this is someone the establishment chose to hire as entertainment. I came for drinks and live music. I did not realize the entertainment package included a talented singer followed by complimentary misogyny on the patio. Women should be able to sit outside with their friends, have a drink, laugh, and exist in public without a grown man deciding their evening needs an unsolicited serving of humiliation simply because he feels entitled to deliver one. There are plenty of establishments in St. Charles where women can spend their money without being treated like shit by the hired entertainment, so I will happily spend mine somewhere else. And to the musician responsible: great addition to rape culture. Whatever war you are fighting with women, or yourself, I sincerely hope you figure it out someday. But if the only way you can feel tall is by trying to make a woman feel small in front of her friends, you were never standing very high to begin with. Maybe stick to singing. You were considerably more likable when none of us knew your personality. "Do not see Kevin Babb"

So peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect start to our morning! What truly made the experience exceptional was our server, Jenn. She was incredible from start to finish!! She was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. She made great recommendations, checked on us at all the right times, and went above and beyond in ways you don't see often. My husband is picky about biscuits and gravy, and Jenn kindly brought him a sample of the gravy first to make sure he'd like it...such a small gesture to some people, but truly made it special for my husband. She even sent us off with coffee to go, which we really appreciated!! The food was just as impressive. I had the traditional breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were nice and crispy, Jenn recommended the ham, which was so flavorful and perfectly charred, so good!!! My husband ended up loving his biscuits and gravy! Between the amazing service, delicious food, and relaxing riverfront setting, this was easily one of our favorite breakfast experiences. Jenn truly made it memorable, and we'll definitely be asking for her every time we come back. Can't wait to return!!

    What a charming cafe in the middle of a charming Downtown area!…read more It was freezing the morning we went in, but I was wanting breakfast - specifically pancakes. I had this place in the bookmarks and figured now was the best time to visit. Parking can be an issues in Downtown St. Charles since it is limited to street parking or public parking a few blocks away. We found parking right in front of FPC, mainly because it was a cold, Monday morning. We were greeted immediately, and inside was much smaller than I expected. We got seated right away though, and a good chance to really review the menu. I got a house coffee (delicious), and my husband got a Purple Haze Lemonade. We ended up getting a kid's pancake with bacon and scrambled eggs, Short Rib Breakfast Stack, and a Bomb Burrito. The pancake for my 2 year old was MASSIVE so it was a good day for him lol. The short rib stack was yummy - hash browns with runny eggs and meat on top. The burrito was also pretty good. Our breakfast entrees came with a side order of potatoes and while it was good, it got saltier over time so I might not get that next time. They advertise beignets, so we might go for that next time and try out their lunch menu!
