We were excited to try this place and the hour was about an hour or so. This is a place with many locations across San Antonio and although this issue may be a location issue - for it being a first impression, it'll unfortunately also be our last. To start, the utensil were dirty, in one of the pictures you can see the piece of lettuce or whatever it was on the fork, I asked the waitress to replace it and she brought another one, that one WAS ALSO DIRTY. I can excuse one but TWO different sets of silverware dirty? We eventually asked for plastic silverware to use. The waitress was also pretty inattentive and did not bring out our drinks until the very end and had the audacity to ask me why we didn't remind her. Maybe because you never visited our table for us to even ask you about it?? Anyways this is unfortunate because the food was actually pretty good but due to the service and lack of safety protocols in the place it affected the whole company for us and we won't be visiting other locations in the future most likely. read more

First Watch - Chipotle Steak & Queso Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The fall menu is delicious! We got the maple bacon croissant sandwich, the pumpkin pancake breakfast, and a side order of biscuits and gravy to share. One of the best pancakes I've had, it was the perfect balance of pumpkin and sweetness without being overly sweet. Chicken sausage and over medium eggs were cooked perfectly. The sandwich had a great crisp and so many great flavors. The jalapeños were very spicy and added a great kick. read more

First Watch - Pumpkin pancake breakfast, Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy, maple bacon croissant sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

One of my favorite breakfast places to come to. I always love that they add new seasonal items to their menu. The million dollar bacon and biscuits & gravy are soooo good! Our server was great! I had a hard time picking which fresh juice to get so she offered a free sample to help decide! The inside is kind of loud just because this place is usually always busy but still a good place to go for a breakfast/brunch place! read more

Ate brunch around 1130 am on Monday, we were easily seated. Server attended to us well, the amount of check ins were reasonable even though it was busy. The people who brought out the food were different, but it appeared that they worked as a team, because when I asked for something, they didnt pass the message around and just addressed it immediately - which we appreciate! Food and drinks as always were consistent! Kale Tonic is my go to drink! The pesto chicken quinoa bowl I felt had more chicken today, which I am happy about! Perfect blend of flavors! Chocolate chip pancake- my son and all of us enjoyed as always! read more

Arrived at opening today 0700. Was seated. No one else in the place. Another group came in 10 minutes after us and were seen by a waitress. Finally left 15 minutes after being seated. Never once had a server or even the host look at us or even talk to us. If you open at 0700, then be ready to be open. Highly disappointed. I would go to ANY other First Watch over this location again. read more

The server Vanessa was awesome. She was patient when my young Grandaugther wanted to place her own order. She was respectful and very attentive. We loved the experience. The food was so good and the coffee was fresh and hot. Everything was clean and ready for us once we arrived at our table. read more

Always a great brunch spot! There can be a wire sometimes but get ahead of The line by checking their website. Always love that they have a few seasonal options on the menu. My current favorite is the pumpkin pancakes. My go to order is the trifecta. Pancakes eggs and breakfast meat. Their house coffee is pretty tasty as-well. Staff is always fast and friendly! read more

Great servers, very kind and understanding. I don't like the food though. Gravy tastes bad, potatoes are seasoned bad. I am also very picky. Their cornbread is good. Amazing service though. Shout out Falgout she was very kind. read more

Honestly been to 3 first watch locations, all of them are pretty good. The service in all 3 are pretty good,very fast very helpful on the menus. The food wass GOOOOODD although the sliced potatoes could have been a bit softer, it's okay tho the lemon blueberry corn bread made up for it. Gahlee the bread was so good. The drinks are always on point. The atmosphere is always great. read more

A bit pricey but so worth it! Everything we ate had amazing flavor. Service was quick and checked on us often. Highly recommend the million dollar bacon! Bright and lively for a nice morning! read more

We were not aware of this establishment until we happened to be in the area. We decided to give it a try since there is another location closer to our home. Upon entering, a host or hostess will seat you. Breakfast and lunch are the specialties when it comes to the menu. The price is high, but please do not let this deter you. When our meals were served, the portion sizes were large and made from scratch. Our experience here this morning was exceptional. We will definitely be returning. read more

I love First Watch for a great breakfast. The mimosas are great and the food is very flavorful and fresh. Even the coffee is always freshly brewed. The service is always good and even though they get crowded, the do a good job at seating customers on the waitlist as quickly as possible. I'm a sucker for a good eggs benedict and First Watch did not disappoint. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Mismanaged! The location does not have capacity to serve customers in a timely manner. I decided to give them another try after a disappointing experience at another location. This time service was slow and the arrival counter employees mismanaged the customer arrivals jumping people on the line over folks that were there earlier. Claimed a 30 min wait time that was an hour. The food is good but waiting an hour for service is not worth your time and money. You're better off looking at other alternatives. Not going back. read more

A good, broad menu, well sourced, well prepared, and well presented. I highly recommend.

Party of 2 and waited for 40 minutes to be seated. No big deal except they quoted us 20-25 mins. Ordered the million dollar bacon as an appetizer. It was tough but it chew, stringy, and coated in black pepper. We didn't eat it. I got the honey caramel latte. It was sickeningly sweet with way too much honey. Then we waited for 45 mins for our meal and it was never served. We got up and left to pay at the front. The server saw us and came up to remove our entree from the tab. But I still paid $20 for bacon we didn't even eat and 2 drinks- did I mention that my boyfriend's Dr Pepper was clearly flat? Most importantly, we never received our meal. We left hungry and frustrated. The server apologized, but she never went to tell a manager or anything. We left extremely disappointed. Never again. read more

Hard pass for me. Here's why. My trust PIC and I decided to drop by on a Friday morning around 8:30 AM to try this place out when it wasn't packed. We came in and were seated before we fully entered the door. That was great. We decided to leave after I jokingly said to myself I'm leaving at x time after it had been a few minutes after we sat down. As you can imagine that time lapsed and the funny part is someone actually came and acknowledged us after we stood up. I guess you have to order standing up. I'd recommend that if anyone decides to try this place. I will likely not be coming back. read more

The ambiance was relaxing and comfortable. The food was delicious and hit the spot! The service was great. Not too crowded on a Sunday morning.

The lemon pancakes were just as yummy. read more

First Watch - Avocado toast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Had breakfast with my son and daughter-in-love yesterday. Wait time was only 15min (Yessssss)! We were seated behind the checkin counter with a great deal of in and out traffic, especially since the table was also by a door that leads to the patio. I would have been happier if there was a shield on the hostesses stand side since germs are still everywhere. We ordered tacos, Belgian waffle, blueberry pancake and a breakfast bowl. Food was good for the most part. They do not know a scrambled soft egg is. Service was decent. Server was friendly, but after our initial drink order was delivered she took awhile to return so another server was gracious enough to take our order. I would give 3.5, but not a 4. I did love the Kale Tonic and the Purple Haze drinks. read more

This location can get busy on weekends, but if you can swing a weekday brunch it's quick. The food is always fresh and yummy. The servers are friendly and efficient. The avocado toast is my favorite. I always order a side of bacon and it's a large portion so you can share. The coffee is really great here too. read more

My review is based solely on this location. They were very prompt in seating us which is a surprise because we got there at prime time brunch hour. However, staff was friendly and they seemed to be tending to the tables as best as possible. Our food came out in a good timing but it was slightly underwhelming. We each had something different and was excited to try our meals, but I needed to add Salt and pepper to my eggs, extra honey to coffee. But the pancake was on point! I'll give them that. I think maybe I just had higher expectations for this restaurant. read more

Came here again and had a good time again! Christina was our server, helped choose what's good there, and was really sweet. It was really busy and our service was still quick which you don't see often. Our food came out hot, fresh, and not even 15 min had passed. The pomegranate sunrise at this place is DELICIOUS and strong. If you're looking for a good brunch place that isn't too upscale or expensive, this is for you! The million dollar bacon is good but not worth the price. I love ordering it though haha the pepper on top is perfect. The potatos from here are also my fave, you can put them in the tacos and they give you a bunch. Another great experience read more

Everything was so yummy! The staff was pleasant and the wait was reasonable... But the 5 star is for the amazing food! Husband got the short rib poutine hash and he absolutely loved it. I tried a bite, but the sauce was a bit too salty for my liking, but husband thought it was as good as it gets. He initially wanted to split between my eggs benedict and his poutine. After he started devouring it, he changed mind and no longer wanted to share lol! I also enjoyed my salmon eggs benedict. I wish the poached eggs was a bit more runny, but not the end of the world. I was hesitant to get the cinnamon buns because I find that non-specialty places don't really do a good job with it, but this one is soooo good! It's fluffy and sweet. The waitress warned us it might be too sweet, but I have a sweet tooth so to me, it was perfect. It was so good, I'd probably order that to go next time, just cuz. I'm only visiting San Antonio, I wish they have First Watch in San Diego. read more

First Watch is always pretty consistent wherever they are. My food was out quick and the service was good. I tried the Chickenchanga (breakfast burrito) and it was pretty good. A little on the spicy side but not overpowering. As long as I had some water I was good :) read more

First Watch - Chickenchanga - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Sometimes one hankers for a basic, delicious breakfast, so after Marjan taught her spinning class, we found ourselves at First Watch off Bandera and 1604, intending to sample their offerings. First watch is a chain restaurant, with about 5 locations here in the Alamo City. The philosophy here is to provide patrons with fresh, locally found ingredients, in house baked breads, and free range chicken eggs. The restaurant is located in a strip center, on the north side of a mega HEB. Parking is available in front of the eatery, but if full, there is more than ample parking in the grocery lot. While there can be a wait to be seated, time can be saved by using their website wait list, that of which we availed ourselves. (Three weeks prior we were unaware of the waitlist, and driving to the restaurant, the queue was 15 or 20 patrons in line...so we passed on the visit this particular day.) We were seated literally within minutes, and we took note of the space. There are perhaps two dozen tables and booths interior, with patio seating outdoors. The decor is pleasing, shall we say with homage to a "home style" ambience, witness the signs and paintings on the walls. Each table bears a medallion, telling that tables are constructed of "sustainably harvested ash". Marjan wanted a basic breakfast, and chose their "Traditional Breakfast": over easy eggs, the house artisanal toast, cubed potatoes, and chicken patty. She considered this breakfast happy for her palate, with particular praise for the potatoes and the patty. I selected an omelet, their "Inspired Italian". This offering, cage free eggs, filled with italian sausage, roasted tomatoes, red peppers, and cheeses. The seasoning was perfect for the breakfast, and the potatoes and toast a terrific complement. The service was a bit slow for our table, perhaps because every table was filled, perhaps a slight understaffing issue. Aside from that detractor, we definitely enjoyed our breakfast, and rate the restaurant 4 of Marjan's origami boots. (Our gold standard for delicious breakfast is actually another chain, Snooze, for readers comparison). We plan a future return, and definitely recommend the Yelper looking for a satisfying breakfast!

Had a great breakfast with the family this morning. Our server Lexi was attentive and answered all of our questions which led to us having some amazing meals thanks to her recommendation. I have the million-dollar breakfast sandwich on gluten-free bread and it was delicious, especially with their grits as a side. My daughter had their egg white power wrap and it was so filling My husband had their honey bacon Brussels hash and if you love goat cheese get this and ask for extra because it's delicious!! We even were checked on twice by the manager Joe who was so friendly and helpful during the morning rush. Can't wait to come back and try more of their fall menu read more

Our first time coming here and it won't be the last. Great food and service. I should have taken a picture but we ate it all.
