Ordered online, waited for 30 minutes and had the waitress indicate multiple times they were bagging up my order only for another gentleman to indicate the online order for someone reason messed up and didn't come through, we didn't have time to wait any longer as we needed to get to an awards assembly and I asked for a refund, he gave me an email for contact and that's it read more

Great food and service. My friend and I ventured out of our comfort zones and tried this place for our coffee meet up. Both of us were pleasantly surprised. Attentive wait staff, food was hot and delicious, and great portion sizes(we even had food to go). Our only critique is we wished the potatoes had smaller pieces of onion and less volume of onion. Everything else was fantastic. Eggs were perfectly cooked. A little pricey, but great for a nice meal/day out. read more

First time at a FW and I walked out with mixed feelings. Ordered the Benedict Florentine which came out with uncooked spinach, raw slices of tomato on a hard to cut/eat bread underneath. Piece of avocado was spoiled on one end. Others at the table seemed pleased with their orders albeit different dishes so you decide. read more

The food and service is always amazing! Their lavender lemonade is soooo yummy! Breakfast or lunch it's one of my most fav places to eat!

I've always appreciated First Watch for its focus on fresh, quality ingredients, but my recent experience has made me question that commitment. I ordered the avocado toast with egg whites, expecting the vibrant, fresh flavors the brand is known for. What I got was disappointing. The first plate had avocado with obvious brown spots mixed in, making it look far from fresh. I sent it back, and the second plate came out looking greener, but as soon as I took a bite, it was sour and tasted off. When I removed the avocado from the toast, the underside was completely brown. I brought this to the manager's attention, and his response honestly left me speechless. He explained that the avocado they use for the toast comes pre-packed in large bags, while the avocado they use for other dishes is freshly sliced. This makes no sense--why not use fresh avocado across the board, especially for a dish that literally puts avocado in the name? read more

Make sure to make a reservation or be prepared for a long wait time!! Which the food is good so at least in my opinion the wait is worth it. I got the pancakes and it was great and fluffy, the fruit and lemon filling was perfectly balanced I didn't even use any syrup on the pancakes. The mimosas were ok nothing out of the ordinary. I did try the limited pineapple drink. It was good but nothing too amazing. It could have been a bit sweeter and that would have made it better for me. A great spot for the family with seating both inside and outside. Friendly vibes. It would have been cool if the waitress was more knowledgeable of the menu. She didn't have many suggestions we should try as first time patrons. Staff can definitely make or break your experience in a restaurant for the first time. read more

Everything my wife daughter and I had were good. The staff was very friendly and polite. Our waitress Caroline was a true delight. She's also a teacher so she was great with our daughter. I would recommend the pumpkin donuts, the Belgium waffle, the biscuits and gravy and the eggs. Those were the dishes we hand and it was so good I didn't even get to take a picture of most of it. After the first bite we couldn't stop. As for the drinks. I had and iced coffee and it was so delicious. I'm not even a coffee drinker but I loved it. read more

Excellent. So much to chose from, breakfast to sides to lunch to alcoholic beverages to juices. The staff was very friendly, the service was fast and was def tasty. Pricing was just right.

We waited 45 minutes and finally got a table next to the bathroom which smelled horrible. They were nice about it and moved us to another table. Then we waited another 40 minutes for our food. The lemon ricotta pancakes were very dry and over-cooked. The French toast was better but still dry. My husband ordered the hash and the potatoes were under-cooked. I expected a decent breakfast with such a long wait time but sorry to say we were disappointed. read more

As usual, the food was really good, the service was also very good. But... I recognize I'm an old foggie; I've also lost hearing in one ear, so a noisy environment makes me uncomfortable. Today I was uncomfortable in this restaurant. I put in ear plugs. First in my left ear, as my right ear is where I lost hearing so moderately loud music won't bother me too much. After a while, I added an ear plug for my right ear as well. But it was still very loud, so I downloaded a decibel meter app. The result? the minimum was 61dB, the max was 89dB, and the average for our visit was 78dB. A quick Google search revealed that "The ideal sound level for normal conversations is between 58 - 65 dB. The loudest your restaurant should be is 85 dB." I also learned that loud music can create a sense of urgency that makes us speed through our meals. Long, leisurely meals don't help a restaurant's bottom line; they need the tables to turn over quickly (via US Foods). "So playing speed metal at a high volume will move customers through at a brisk pace." I don't like to rush (or be rushed) through my meal. I should know better; if the music is loud when I walk in the door, I should ask for the quietest table and check the noise, or maybe I should turn around and go somewhere else. read more

We ate at First Watch today for breakfast. We had a mixed experience at this place. Pros: food tasted good, service was great and ordering online was easy, everyone was following the guidelines of wearing a mask. The eggs were a perfect sunny side egg/ runny yolk which is what we asked for. A lot of places over cook, so I was happy to see this place didnt. Cons: food wasn't ready at the time specified, our order was wrong, all of the food was ice cold and our Hacienda Hash looked like someone had eaten from the container. The millionaire bacon also wasn't anything special. We were missing items from the hash bowl, as well as an order of potatoes. With that being said, I think the food tastes good. I do not think it's worth the price by any means but I wouldn't be mad if anyone took me here to eat again. read more

Went for a brunch date on a Monday morning after mom duties. The restaurant was already hoppin' at 11 am. There was a line by the door. Which I think is usual for this place as I've picked up breakfast on the go before. My friends were already seated and ordered so I had to chose quick. I had to be at work soon, so I only had one hour to order and eat. I ordered a BLT Sammie and a tomato soup. The Sammie was huge! Fully loaded with thick cut bacon, spinach, arugula and a fried egg! Yum! It was definitely worth the wait. The food did take awhile, or maybe it was me being pressed for time and famished. I was in good company so the time flew by. I would definitely not come and eat here if you need to eat and run. But I would definitely come back and try other dishes. My friends ordered some amazing looking dishes as well! I think the downer is that there always seems to be wait list and the seating can definitely feel tight if you are in a party of 4 or more. The waitress definitely got my memo and had my ticket ready for me since I was in a hurry. I hate to rush the staff because they do the best they can with the heavy lunch hour rush. Nevertheless, I was out 1 hr later. If you have time, stop in! The food is worth the wait. In my opinion. read more

The wait was long but WELL WORTH IT! The host (didn't get his name) was very nice and kept his composure with all the hectic customers who were waiting. Our waitress was very nice and prompt! She didn't skip a beat when it came to serving us. She was very polite and checked on us often. We are new to SA and came a couple of weeks ago and had a different waitress, she was working today and recognized us form last time. She stopped by and checked to see how our move went and was very nice! The Pesto Chicken Power Bowl was AMZING! Full of flavor and filling but not over feeling! read more

Well I wanted so badly to give them a great review today but today was deserving of anything but. Wanted to grab breakfast with my wife before heading out of town for work. We waited 30 minutes to be seated as it was busy. We were sat in 25 minutes! After being sat it took 10 minutes before anyone came to our table to acknowledge us. When he came we had our complete order ready for 2. We received our drinks and waited for our food. 10-15 minutes later the waiter comes to tell us that it will be another 15-20 minutes to get our order. Now I know everything it cooked to order but we ordered pancakes and bacon (not complicated) I usually have a great experience here and excellent service but today was quite disappointing. If the food is taking long guests should be informed of this before hand so they can make a decision. read more

Horrible service! My wait time was shorter than the time i was seated waiting for a server. They were out of high chairs. No one ever came to take my order. Ended up walking out. read more

I love First Watch so when in town and looking for a decent breakfast place, this was a no brainer. We were seated right away and our drink orders were taken right away. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful explaining the summer deals on iced coffees. Our food came out quickly and everything was so good. You can pay at the table now so we were in and out with a nice high quality breakfast. Highly recommend, huge menu selection! read more

I loved coming to First Watch and have been there many times. I usually order the same thing and decided to try something new with the barbacoa chilaquiles and was sooo disappointed. They really used actual tortilla chips. Literally tasted like chips and salsa bringing a disgrace to the Hispanic culture by calling these chilaquiles. They should have just called them breakfast nachos. I literally had nachos for breakfast. I hated them so much I could not finish them. My boyfriend even said he can smell the "fakeness" from where he was sitting. First Watch please do better if you're going to adapt from different cultures. Million dollar Bacon was amazing but could use 2 more pieces to make it worth the price. Anyway, blueberry pancake was really good. read more

Food and service is always good! This is our go to place on weekends. Staff is always friendly.

Made a couple visits within the week. Service was fast and there was plenty of seating early in the day. Food was good and and the place was clean. When I ask for water, they fill me a glass and leave with a carafe filled with water (VERY CONVENIENT). They pride on using clean ingredients and cage-free eggs. Portion sizes could be bigger but you won't leave hungry. Definitely want to try more dishes. read more

I looked up a brunch place near me and found First Watch. I had signed in online to get in line. Wait was about 45 minutes on Father's Day, which wasn't bad. The service was excellent. Coffee was in a pot that kept it hot so I didn't have to keep asking for refills (I love my coffee) and I had a carafe of water too. I ordered smoked salmon eggs Benedict. I didn't care for the bread and would have rather had good, old fashioned English muffins, but not a deal breaker. For the price, I think they could do better on the portions. I ended up asking for the side of seasoned potatoes, which I'd rather have a hash brown option but they were okay. I paid about $17 for the food plus the coffee, so all together a little over $21. I was not wowed but it was a decent and clean place. read more

I've been a fan of First Watch for years, but this is my first time dining at this location. We joined the Wait List via the First Watch app, which allowed us to be seated shortly upon our arrival. Our server, Robbie, was very pleasant, and answered all our questions about the menu items. Our menu selected items, Eggs Benedict Florentine and Crab Avocado Toast, were very flavorful. We enjoyed our visit. read more

Clean, nice staff nice decor and I liked the unique choices such as fresh juices. The menu is fresh and you pay for that - this is not a diner experience - the plates the food is served on are $40 each (I asked the server) because I liked them. The serving sizes were ample but small compared to most brunch places I've visited for the price. The Million dollar bacon was $4.99 for 4 slices of which 2 were half burnt - we didn't t send back but wait staff should have asked when those were the only pieces we did not eat actually should have never served it - they must be afraid of the cook. The fruit compote is delicious and the coffee was perfect. I love that they leave a carafe on the table. 4 people - 63.33 + tip read more

Bland, service is ok. Not worth the price. Tried twice at two different locations. Orders came out wrong both times, once was a to go that took FOREVER the second time dine in. The dine in was corrected quickly but still mediocre. Problems included missing items in to go order, wrong order, plate came out with black specs all over the eggs from the cooktop. read more

It's our second time to have a brunch here last Saturday the 18th of September. This time we brought our niece for her birthday, she visited San Antonio from Abilene, where she's based as an Air Force woman. I love the food here, they really tastes good and freshly made and love to have my niece and her girlfriend try it out for the first time. Waiting is part of the experience since there's always a lot of diners coming and going. I was told there's a one to one and a half hour wait but good thing it only took a good 44 minutes for us a party of four to be seated. Our very warm, welcoming and attentive waitress Nikki greeted us and she's been patient with us. My frittata rustics, my cousin's eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and our other guest's Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy with Eggs are all good. My niece's eggs Benedict looks good too but the person who served her the plate accidentally dropped one of the poached eggs on the table. It literally slid out of the plate to the table top. They apologized and we were told they will bring her another poached egg. When Nikki arrived she asked if my niece wants to have a fresh plate to replace her whole order but worried it might take long, she just decided to have them bring just the eggs with the hollandaise sauce. When my niece started to work on the egg that's left on top of her English muffin, it was not cooked right. The supposedly poached egg was over cooked, the yolk is hard and looks like hard boiled rather than runny. Now for a breakfast and brunch place, we expect they make eggs perfect the way it should be cooked or the way customers want it but no it's not. After a few minutes, a server came with two supposedly poached eggs with the hollandaise sauce, unfortunately they missed it again. It's another pair of overcooked (not runny at all) eggs. We get the attention of Nikki and she apologized again told us they are taking care of it right now in the kitchen, Nikki actually offered if we want to talk to the manager. But of course we did not refuse, imagine, for an expensive breakfast place, they should be making perfect eggs the least. I felt so bad for my niece, it's her birthday and she's in the military service, she don't deserve this! Michael the manager came over sooner than expected and apologized and said he wants to do it right. He offered my niece a breakfast drink and also asked her what else she wants. she asked for another bowl of fresh fruit. Shortly after Michael left our table another pair of poached eggs arrived, but again it's not, it's another over cooked pair of eggs. We called Michael up again and my niece showed her ID cards, her driver's license and military ID just so they know it's really her birthday. After a few minutes Nikki brought another pair of eggs with more apologies from her. This time it's not over cooked, but it's not poached either, it's over easy. My niece just gave up and decided to eat. After eight not perfectly cooked eggs and oh, my niece didn't even finished the million dollar bacon she ordered on the side. The description on the menu shows "Four slices of our signature hardwood smoked bacon baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle." There's no hint of a million dollar there by just looking at it, no syrup no hint of brown sugar, it's dry and not even crunchy. The eggs distracted my niece only to find out the bacon is not a Million Dollar after all. With these unfortunate situations for my niece, Nikki told us they took off my niece's order from the tab and Michael handed her a grab and go brownie too. Michael and Nikki did their best to express their apologies and we appreciate it so much. However, we're not sure if the regular egg person for that Saturday morning is having a hard day, or maybe it's a substitute egg person, we don't know but the egg person needs to be reprimanded or corrected. We're pretty sure we're not the only people who had an issue with the poached eggs. I want to give more stars but I feel really bad for my niece, we treated her for a birthday brunch but her experience is not good. Michael and Nikki's efforts are much appreciated but that Saturday is for my niece, and it was still a failure. We would still try to come back in the future maybe without my niece, perhaps Michael and his team of first watchers could redeem themselves. I will not dare bringing my aunt and uncle along next time, I don't want them to experience any issues like this at all. read more

Stopped here for breakfast. Wait time was pretty long so we decided to sit outside and got seated right away. We did have to go inside to ask who our server was cause we hadn't been helped for about 15 mins. Food was great! I got the Farmhouse Skillet Hash. A mix of eggs and potatoes with bacon, avocado, tomatoes and roasted onions. It came with a small side of fruit and toast bread. Perfect portion. We also ordered the French toast and waffle which also tasted great. They offer a variety of nutritional meals including many gluten free options. Breakfast and lunch items are what's on the menu. The restaurant was clean and the servers were friendly since we did have about 3 different ones attend to us while we ate. The only thing I would suggest is the attentiveness. We waited a while before we ordered. We didn't know who our actual server was the entire time and we did have to go in to ask for items that we wanted since they weren't coming out often enough but I would definitely return. read more
