The food has always been quick and delicious, however, sometimes I feel there isn't enough seating and it can take a while to be seated. They have a community table for individual customers that didn't come with family-- but for the socially anxious person like myself, just let me get my own table, ok? read more

This is the most amazing breakfast place I've ever been to! I would sell my grandmother for some more French toast!

Great place for good healthy food that you won't get at any drive thru! My family's favorite breakfast place close to home. Service is fast & prices are very reasonable read more

To me, First Watch is an A-OK kind of place. It's affordable, service is usually good, and the menu is fairly extensive. The only reason why I am giving it 3 stars? I feel like there's nothing very innovative about their menu...it's nothing I couldn't just make at home. However, Sean H. loves this place...I think it's because the menu isn't froo-froo/overly fancy. He feels comfortable coming here. I actually wish I could give them another half star for publishing the nutrition info on their website. It makes it easier for us calorie counters/weight loss nuts who want to see exactly how much crap we're putting into our bodies. ;) Although I had the Breakfast Scramble today for brunch and I ended up not really eating any of the potatoes or fruit because I was stuffed from the eggs, OJ, and coffee I had so I didn't really know precisely how many I'd consumed which is OK but yeah...maybe they should list the caloric content of the sides too so you can always subtract. The one thing I do LOVE about them is that they serve the French Toast with a side of warm blueberry/blackberry compote. That stuff is the shit. Sean H. never eats his, so I just eat it straight-up. Nom nom nom. Maybe I will try something from the healthy menu next time. Also there always seems to be a wait every time I go to one of these places, even during non-peak hours... :-( As a Pittsburgher, I'd say this place reminds me of Eat N' Park only it seems to lack the true "diner-esque" themes of Eat N' Park. read more

First Watch - Breakfast scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St.Peter's, Missouri

Visited for breakfast with a group of friends, and we enjoyed our visit. They offer a variety of healthy to unhealthy options, and offer breakfast as well as lunch options. I tried a breakfast sandwich and pancakes, and strongly recommended sticking with the pancakes! They have a carrot cake pancake that is out of this world. Their coffee is also very good, and they give you your own pot to keep refilling as needed. The selections are a little pricier than your typical diner breakfast, but you are paying for added quality of your food. This place can get very crowded on the weekends, so if you visit during peak hours expect to wait! read more

I remember when First Watch came to the St. Louis area about 10 years ago, I jumped for joy. First Watch had long been a favorite brunch spot when we would visit my aunt who lives in the KC suburbs. Even better, there's a location that is only about 10 minutes from where we live. My husband and I go here for Sunday brunch every once in awhile and have never been disappointed. Even though there's almost always a wait, I don't think we've ever waited for longer than 15 minutes (even when they told us it would be longer) and the food is always prompt and consistent. I order the Bacado omelet every time we go (I'm a creature of habit) and it is always delicious. My husband loves to experiment with his order, but I don't think he's ever been disappointed. The service isn't anything to write home about, but it's definitely never bad service. They're just kind of no-nonsense there so you just won't see your server much (but with a huge carafe of coffee and pitcher of water on the table already - who needs 'em?) First Watch loses 1 star on this last visit because the bacon in my Bacado was a little burned, but that's a minor problem - I still ate almost the whole thing. read more

It's a solid chain breakfast place. What can ya say? It's super cute on the inside and I have not had bad service (though don't go at high times, best to go at off hours like 7 am haha when it's less crowded). They have delicious options ranging from omelets and the traditional pancakes to healthier options like oatmeal or yogurt. The Belgium waffle I had today was cooked to perfection and the berry compote that was on the side was awesome (especially since I'm not a fan of syrup this was a nice addition instead of just butter!). I really like the fresh fruit crepes which is one of the healthier options that way I can actually justify eating out. They aren't terribly pricey at only about $7-$10/plate for breakfast. Three of us today only spent $26. Overall, this is a nice breakfast place with solid options that are more traditional at a reasonable price. read more

Have you ever heard of Perkins? Well, if you have, then you would understand my reference. First Watch greatly reminds me of Perkins. First Watch is a cute little restaurant that is suitable for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. They primarily specialize in omelets and sandwiches with a variety of different items on their menu. With their saying "I love you more than bacon" on the top of their menu, it is hardly the type of place that strives away from health. They are very determined to make sure they offer healthy items with the intent of keeping things organic and 'all natural'. After looking over the menu, I decided on their mix 2: Asian salad and half sandwich, the Beefeater. Jason, my boyfriend, got the Bacado omelet. Our food was brought out only after a few minutes after ordering. Jason actually heard them announce that his was ready from the kitchen with not much wait time before it was brought out. His Bacado omelet consist of bacon, avocado, cheese, and topped with sour cream with a side of salsa for dipping. My Beefeater was roast beef, cheese, a slice of bacon, tomato on toasted bread. My side salad was pretty good too. It was pretty much what was in any typical Asian salad. Chicken, crispy wantons, romaine lettuce with a ginger sesame dressing. Don't ever worry about having to refill your water because they leave a pitcher on your table for you to use at your own convenience. Service was nice and friendly. She regularly checked in to assure we were enjoying our meal. Plus the place was very nice and clean. I appreciate a nice, clean restaurant. I enjoyed it! read more

Wonderful breakfast of a huge blueberry pancake with easy over eggs and endless great coffee! My waitress was so nice and very attentive to me. Definitely recommend this restaurant for breakfast. I will come back again read more

Food was delicious and healthy, which is hard to find when dining out in the Midwest. Coffee was also delicious as well and I had both the iced and hot coffee, recommend both. You should get there early as during peak weekend hours there is usually at least a half hour wait. Our waitress was not attentive which is to be expected when super busy like this place is, but it's why I didn't give First Watch 4 stars. We waited for our water jug and coffee to be refilled for ten minutes and multiple staff walked right by our table. read more

I love this place for brunch. The menu has great variety and works for everyone including kids, dieters and meat lovers. My favorites are the fresh fruit crepes and the Far West Omelette. Kudos to First Watch for their website as well. It contains allergen and nutrition info. read more

I have been to First Watch many times, but this is the first time I have reviewed it. First watch is basically high grade Denny's/IHOP. The food is prepared a little more carefully, the service is a little better, and the prices are just a tad bit higher. First watch is a great place to have breakfast, brunch or lunch. Simply a good choice for you and a few friends. It's always busy because it's consistently good. :) read more

My favorite place for breakfast! They have great hash and eggs and iced coffee! Staff is friendly too!

Great staff, great food, great service. Avoid getting caught up in the after church crowds on Sunday.

This is going to be a pretty straight forward review. Something for everybody here. Good coffee. Great selection of healthy options. Pancakes are great and huge! Lunch options are good though I eat breakfast most often. read more

Wow!!!! This place is fabulous! My boyfriend and I have had breakfast here twice in the past two weeks and we both tried different things each time we have went and we have enjoyed what we have eaten. There is not a bad option on the menu. There are a wide variety of breakfast choices from classic diner food to healthy and even some vegetarian options. I had eggs benedict on my first trip there and an Acapulco omelette on my second trip and it was amazing and I would not hesitate to order it again. My boyfriend had the fruit crepes and the musili. They were both nutritious and delicious. The second time he had the frattata rustica. It came with a greens salad. The dressing was to die for. The service has always been wonderful. One of our new favorite places to go. read more

Just moved to the area from Los Angeles. We were afraid we wouldn't have many options for fresh and healthy foods anymore, but thankfully we found this place. Food was delicious, inexpensive, and healthy. Our server was a bit lackluster but service was still quick, and food came out fresh. We will definitely be back. read more

Popular? To say the least. Why? "A" rating goes with the best food, clean tables, friendly service. I would recommend the "no wait" app so you do not have to wait 30-60 min. Not to say it is not worth the wait. But you can be seated soon after you arrive with good timing and a table reservation. Makes the experience even better. 5 + LOVE stars read more

This is are favorite place for breakfast. There is so many options from just your standard breakfast to a Parma hash there is also lunch option and they have weekly special. This place has the best coffee by far. Ask for Nicole she is the best read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St.Peter's, Missouri

While in St Peters we visited this place for brunch. The service was fantastic. Our server was funny and engaging. The food was incredible. It was so good we decided to go back the next morning for round to on the brunch. We mixed up what we ordered and everything was still amazing including the service. One of the best breakfast spots i've ever been to in the country! read more

See all

Avocado toast is sooo good!! Highly recommend! In general all their food is pretty good, breakfast food is the best!

Quoted a 20 minute wait. We wait for 40 minutes before checking in when hostess staff says they allow person using a "no wait" app to cut in front of us and we still have another 15 minutes to wait. If we knew the wait was 55 minutes we would have never stayed. The staff acted like this was totally reasonable and no concern for the ridiculous system they have in place and the way they misled us. We ll never go back for the completed disrespect of the staff toward us and our time read more

The margarine is a disappointment when eating waffles or pancakes. They should really upgrade to good butter to make the taste worthwhile. Also, would benefit by having quality blue berry syrup. There is No blueberry syrup whatsoever. read more

Excellent food and excellent service. They have a high variety of items on their menu. Also, many healthy alternatives. The morning we were there they appeared to be short-handed but they were running and working as hard as they could to make sure everyone was taken care of. We live about 30 minutes away near Wentzville. But, had read the reviews and we're on our way to Costco and thought we would give it a try. We both said even if we weren't going to Costco we would probably drive this far to eat here again. read more

Mmm...First Watch. There's a 20 minute wait on weekend mornings for a reason. The food is delicious! My favorites include the Trifecta with a wheat germ pancake instead of a waffle and the Floridian French Toast with all that fruit! I've never had a bad cup of coffee there either and the coffee in the lobby while you wait is a good bonus. The food comes out quickly and it's always hot. My gluten free husband enjoys the Bacado (bacon, avocado omelette) with a fruit cup instead of an english muffin. The only reason I didn't give First Watch 5 fabulous stars is sometimes the servers forget things. For instance, additional water glasses (for those without one), more water (since the pitchers are so darn full of ice!), sugar-free syrup, a to-go box...I've had instances where all of these items were asked for and forgotten. Not the end of the world but certainly detracts from the experience a little bit. read more

Delicious! Everything I have ever tried has been fabulous. Today, our server was instrumental in helping us narrow down our choices with a super fun exercise. We ended up with the Roast Beef and Havarti with the Honey Pecan salad and the lemon blueberry pancakes with chicken apple sausage and it was all FIRE. Stephanie, thank you for a great meal! read more

I like First Watch. I wanted to visit a few times before writing my review to make sure I could give it a fair rating. The first visit, the food was great but the service was really lacking. The last time I ate here, though, I couldn't find fault in anything - it was a great experience all the way around. I kinda suspected that my first visit was anomalous in its subpar service, and I'm happy to say that my hunch was correct. First Watch offers unique, customizable options for a variety of appetites and tastes. Whether you like the traditional breakfast items or need something more specialized and healthy, I can guarantee you will find it here. I have never had a problem making substitutions or asking for things to be prepared in a different way. I'm glad to say that I've never had an incorrect order or had to send anything back despite the specificity of my order. Best of all, I've never had anything that was less than completely delicious and satisfying. If I didn't live in Creve Coeur, I would be back more often. Sigh. I might have to make a special trip sometime soon... read more

It's my 5th time here and food was awesome! I think the best place in St. Peter's for breakfast/lunch. Always fresh food. The only thing I don't like is to get a table you always have to wait 30 to 40 min. read more

First Watch - Love it - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St.Peter's, Missouri

Laura (waitress) and crew is always amazing n upbeat. Hi guys :) Love the food and coffee

Food is amazing! I loved how they did their seating system. They text you when your table is ready! Wait staff was awesome and the coffee is good too! I also loved the rustic decor. read more

I have loved everything I have tried here. Great and quick service in a clean and friendly atmosphere. And you know what else? The water they serve is the most crisp and delightfully cold water that I have ever had in a restaurant. Even if I'm only there to pick up a carry-out order, I request a to-go cup of water because it's so good! read more

We love this place! It's nice to find a restaurant you can get healthy choices at without having to spend a fortune. It's one of the few places I can pick just about anything. read more

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Food is always excellent & lots of options to choose from. This time I had the chili chorizo omelet & it was excellent. Just wish there was one closer to where we live. read more

Used the wait list. Walked in and was ignored while people standing behind me were spoken to. When I complained they said it was my fault for not checking in. How could I check in when they were ignoring me.? read more

Love this place. Delicious food, healthy options and excellent staff. We go here regularly.

Wonderful lovely staff and a great atmosphere. The food is always good and I applaud the kitchen staff!

It wasn't completely terrible, but they definitely could have used more seasoning. Their breakfast potatoes weren't too bad, I just felt like it could have been better for the money. UPDATED REVIEW: After speaking to someone here, I went back to try again. The food wasn't terrible, but still not my favorite. A lot of flavors were very simple and bland. The pumpkin pancake was delicious for sure, but my boyfriend barely touched his food because he said it had no flavor. On the plus side, you do get what you pay for, they added a salad and toast with his omelet, so he had a fairly large amount of food, but if you have any picky eaters this isn't for you. One thing I did appreciate though was that they have a lot of options of coffee creamers for your coffee including seasonal flavors and they have really neat farmhouse style decor. The staff we worked with was nice too. read more

My last breakfast out before the Corona virus restaurant shutdown. It was wonderful!!! I had the Avocado Toast Breakfast with one of their power boost drink made with beets... yum!!!!! Not only was the food great our service was awesome as well! You would never know that these people were going to be out of a job at the end of their shift. Can't wait until your back open again. read more

Place has the best healthy food in St Louis by a long shot. One of the few places I get something new every time and I'm not disappointed.

The food is delicious! So fresh and I've never had a single issue with cleanliness or the wait staff. We love first watch! A little pricey but worth it in my opinion. read more
