Overall the food was really really good! But I've been to this location twice and with both our visits the service was bad, for both times we had waited 15-20 mins just for us to get out waters, the first time we went we hadn't seen our waitress the first 25 mins while not having to take our orders yet and just waiting for our water, we tried looking for our waitress but ended up calling who I believe looked like a manager in a collared shirt to take out order for us.it wasn't until after we got out food when we finally saw our waitress. The second time going was a way slower day with maybe only abt 4-5 tables filled throughout the restaurant and still waited 15-20 just for our waters while not having to take our orders yet. I don't know if the training needs to be fixed or worked on but that has just been my experience going! The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING which is why I OBVIOUSLY went back but the lack of service definitely did not match the food! Going again tomorrow and I hope it was maybe just those 2 times but i will keep an update! read more

Came in for a girls brunch and, to be honest, I'm not usually a big fan of First Watch to begin with. That said, I have to give credit where it's due -- the food was actually really good this time. The chorizo omelette was good. I couldn't finish it all plus we did order pancakes too and they were just great. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the experience we were hoping for. Our waitress seemed visibly annoyed when we ordered, like she just didn't want to be there. I completely understand it was busy for a Saturday, but service felt really slow -- it took quite a while to get basic things like silverware and eventually the check. Overall, the food was a highlight, but the service left a lot to be desired. Sadly, I don't plan on coming back. For San Antonio, I think I can find a better spot for girls brunch. read more

Stopped in for breakfast while visiting the San Antonio area, and wow--what a fantastic choice. Breakfast was truly AMAZING. We started with the lemon blueberry cornbread, which was the perfect warm-up. My husband ordered an omelette, I went with the avocado toast topped with smoked salmon, and I paired it with the Morning Meditation juice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The coffee was delicious, and they even surprised us with their homemade bacon--sweet, savory, and absolutely unforgettable. Our waitress was kind and attentive, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the cute décor made the whole experience even better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend stopping in for a meal if you're in the area. This place is a gem. read more

We typically frequent the location by North Star mall, but decided to come to this location today as we already had plans over here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was okay, but I will say the glasses for water were dirty, as well as the water jars/jugs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We asked for a clean drinking glass, but was handed ANOTHER dirty glass. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not sure if they need to soak these or just change their dishwater, but it definitely affected the experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First Watch was recommended by a very good friend of mine. I finally got an opportunity to have breakfast there today, the night before Christmas. There are several of these First Watch locations around San Antonio but I tried the one just north of Wurzbach on the frontage rd. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very nice inside, clean, modern but not cold looking, a place you would want to meet friend for breakfast or lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was very friendly, seating me at a booth where I could look out the window. I told Lia,my waitress, this was my first time and would she recommend a few items. Her input was very helpful. I had the Tri-Fecta breakfast. A multigrain blue berry pancake with eggs sunny side up and I upgraded to the million dollar bacon side and coffee. OMG was this good! I like real maple syrup, so I added that to my order but the pancake came with a blueberry compote which was excellent. The pancake was tender and cooked to perfection. The bacon is to die for. Excellent coffee topped off the meal. There were so many items on the menu I want to try, their versions of eggs Benedict and different hash but it will have to wait until next time. Just sit down and enjoy your meal and bring friends, next time I will read more

I've been going here since they opened years ago! It was slow and quiet for awhile. Now they have such a reputation that there is a wait on weekends. Be sure to put in a reservation on their app. I pointed to my friends my fave: salad and sandwich. Funny bc we all ended up ordering the same thing. It was very delicious. Their Reuben always hands down the best. Our waitress was so lovely. Thank you for the great time! Now my friends want to go back ;) read more

First Watch - Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast, Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

First Watch is one of those brunch places that's quite predictable for a variety of reasons, and for that, we tend to visit it over other local brunch restaurants at times. While I wanted a skillet, I opted for something less oily and heavy. The BLT Egg Benny did the trick. While the eggs weren't as runny as I'd expect, it was still full of flavor. My family enjoyed their meals. We decided to split a stack of blueberry pancakes, and we learned that our stack was delivered to the wrong table. It took a while to actually get the pancakes, yet when they came, they contained the most and largest amount of blueberries I've seen in any pancake. My husband said the blueberry topping was good with the flapjacks. It was challenging to layer the butter since the pancakes broke apart early when we attempt to lift the top one to butter the bottom one. I was good with just butter and syrup. For all the time we waited to get them, they took them off our tab. If you plan to visit, make sure to check in via Yelp. That's saved us a wait every time. read more

I had gotten a call as soon as I was about to get seated and the hostess was kind and patient enough to let me finish my conversation. Thankfully there wasn't anybody behind me. I got seated to the corner. A waiter arrived and didn't introduce himself but seemed to be in a rush and asked me what I wanted to order when I haven't had enough time to glance at the menu. I was like hold on dude let me decide so I had told him. I didn't want any juice so I ordered water. I decided on a waffle with sausage and ham. The waiter took my order then left. He sent a runner to bring me my food. The waffle was OK, sausages were meh and the smoked ham was great. Next time I eat at First Watch it won't be this location though and will be at the 410 or 151 locations. read more

Guillermo took excellent care of us! He was fast and efficient. I love the team work amongst the waitstaff. They bring out food, water, etc for each other and pick up plates from tables as they walk by. The teamwork makes customers feel well cared for and is one of the reasons we keep coming back! Food was amazing, as always! We ordered coffee, the traditional breakfast and the trifecta. Everything was cooked perfectly. Shout out to the kitchen staff!! read more

I was passing by and needed to eat something before my next meeting so I ordered a breakfast sandwich to go. The front staff was helpful but I thought I ordered a plain bacon and egg. I still got charged about $12 for it. The back of house staff brings out a large to go bag and calls out for Kim. Kim's not there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After standing around, because they didn't offer a seat in the empty restaurant, I asked if perhaps that was my order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Are you Kim? No. Then no. Okay but no one else is here. I ask a different person and sure enough that was my sandwich! I never gave them a name. Do I look like a Kim? Totally bizarre. I take my sandwich to the car and of course there's not one fork for the potatoes and definitely not a napkin for the runny egg. The food itself was delicious, which is the only reason they're getting three stars. They definitely need to work on customer service. read more

First Watch-1.6.24. 1/100 New Year...new menu items and countdown to Autumn because I'm going to miss that butternut squash soup I finally decided to try their Roast Beef & Havarti sandwich. I wasn't brave enough to order the whole thing, because it was new to me, so I ordered the half and a broccoli soup. This sandwich was incredible! I ordered it just as it comes: Roast beef, Horseradish Havarti cheese, house-roasted onions and tomato with lemon-dressed arugula on grilled Parmesan-crusted sourdough. Horseradish sauce on the side. Once I picked it up...I could not put it down. Actually I suggest not putting it down because it was kinda messy but in a good way Then it was all gone and I realized I hadn't even taken a photo...it was that good. I highly recommend it, and now I know why it's the most popular sandwich they make. Next time I'm getting the whole thing. So try something new for the new year! Thanks so much Rob for taking our orders and for the extra creamer for the coffee ~LindaD read more

I had the Monterey club and my wife had the BLTE. Let me tell you. They were the best sandwiches I've had around San Antonio. the freshness of the bread and of the vegetables and of the egg were A1.

Okay Yelpers! Back to First Watch this chill, damp Saturday morning, hankering for coffee and breakfast. Last minute decision, we failed to join the wait list, which found us in queue for 25 minutes. (Note to self: ALWAYS join the waitlist!! ) But no matter, our hippocampus was primed with memory of the delicious petit-déjeuner we previously shared. Marjan chose the classic breakfast, but for me, I chose new option: "Power Bowl" ! This is a bowl of quinoa, tomato, Italian sausage, mushers, a pair of basted eggs (steamed eggs) kale, strings of Parmesan, and a bit of dressing. Quinoa can be a bit bland, so salting and peppering, adding a bit of hot sauce (Marjan) really amped up the flavor. But in truth, the dish as served prevailed on its own merits. We enjoyed the dish, and i will definitely order on return. Marjan's classic was as expected: perfect for her hunger this morning. As usual, the staff, from hostess, to waitstaff (Robert) to support staff: welcoming and of good cheer!! Given the quality of foodstuffs paired with the staff, it is no wonder First Watch remains a popular breakfast stop! Enjoy Yelpers!! read more

Food fresh, healthy, and delicious! Kevin, Jocelyn, and Blanca are experts at customer service. You won't be disappointed!

Didn't grab a pic, but still wanted to say that this location has the BEST service. The food was delicious; I had the Eggs Benedict Florentine, coffee & the morning meditation. Everything was fresh & delicious. Our server provided excellent service (wish I grit her name), as did others there (maybe the busser). Only negative was that it was quite chilly in the restaurant & sitting next to the large glass windows, I was very cold. But, I won't hold that against them, it was a great experience! read more

Went in as a party of 1. Waiter got my water and then disappeared. Another table came in after me and he went straight to their table and got their drink order and food order. And instead of immediately coming to my table to get my order he disappeared again. I left. This was beyond frustrating. Unprofessional. I have been to other first watch in San Antonio and I've never been treated like this at any of the other ones. POOR SERVICE! read more

First Watch - Shishito Brisket Hash (Summer special!) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

First off I must by saying I showed up in the middle of a rush. Took a little bit longer than expected, but not really, because it was a middle of rush. And under the circumstance, my server rocked it out hard. Bryanna Kept her head straight. It continued to give Exemplery service throughout, come through to check up on For refills on coffee and just to see how I was enjoying everything. But not too much, not too little, it was perfect under the circumstance of how busy it was. I will definitely be back. And the server should be recognized for her service. Please management recognize her and let her know she doing a great job And the price is not as high as I thought before I walked in read more

Always delicious, friendly servers in a casual atmosphere that's perfect for starting your day. Had the Shishito Brisket Hash and it was amazing. I mean brisket, grilled peppers, onions and potatoes with eggs, all those flavors combined don't get any better. I recommend the aioli on the side because it is such a dominant flavor. My grandson had the Tres Leches French Toast and said it was the best he's ever had. The Million Dollar Bacon is super tasty, but is more like half-million because it is not that thick. I was expecting slabs of smoky sweet goodness, but still good for the price. Highly recommend coming here as the expansive menu had a dozen more dishes I want to try. All great options at fair prices and top quality. read more

I've been here several times and staff is always friendly. Checked in using waitlist on a Friday morning but it wasn't necessary since there wasn't any wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area is bright and very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Tri-athlete and it was very fresh and yummy. It came with pico-de-gallo which was a bit watery but still tasted great. The fruit accompanying it was a nice mix of pineapple and berries but a little warm due to it being served on a warm plate. Otherwise it was perfect. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food. I'll be back since their menu has a lot to offer and I'd like to try other dishes they make that sound interesting. read more
