First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

My family should have stock in the place because we plan trips around finding a First Watch nearby. This time we stayed at a hotel 100 yards away from one. As usual, it didn't disappoint. Was able to be seated quickly, food came out hot and delicious. Clean and orderly establishment. Thanks for a wonderful experience for our first time here in the sunshine state. read more

My husband and I dined at the Santa Rosa Beach location. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. Our food was delicious. I suggest the million dollar bacon and the cheese pancakes. Our waitress was polite. read more

First Watch - Million Dollar Bacon and Multigrain Pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

Stopped in for breakfast, but thanks to my tight schedule (and poor life planning), I only had time to experience one thing: the so-called Million Dollar Bacon. Spoiler alert -- it didn't cost a million bucks, and eating it didn't exactly make me feel like I owned a yacht... but honestly? It was still stupidly good. Perfectly cooked -- not burnt, not weirdly floppy -- just that magical middle ground where bacon becomes a personality trait. Dripping with sweet syrup and a little cayenne kick, it's the kind of flavor combo that makes you question every bad decision you've ever made (like only ordering one). I would've absolutely gone in for Round Two, but the clock said no. Life said no. My soul said yes, but nobody listens to that guy. Million dollar bacon, five-minute experience, lifelong bitterness. read more

First Watch - Million Dollar Bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

I would not order from this restaurant. Every time I place an order here, even in person, they get my order wrong. The girl at the front claimed she's didn't hear us and made us order the additional breakfast meal making the rest of our food cold. This is not what I call good customer service. The wait times are long which is why we used to order online. I do not recommend. read more

We really enjoyed the food! We have one of these where we live and it was nice to go and eat at a familiar place. Clean and good food!

Great service, delicious food, and a clean, bright atmosphere! We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast, and it was the perfect way to start our day before heading to the beach. We'll definitely be back! read more

The food was delicious, our server was very attentive and the ambience was perfect. We visited First Watch for the first time while on vacation in Destin, Florida. I ordered the beef tacos and my husband ordered the standard breakfast. We shared a blueberry pancake. Again, everything was good! It got busy in there quickly but that didn't affect our overall dining experience. Places known for good food usually have those kinda issues. Way to go First Watch staff, you all keep being awesome! read more

Service terrible & food was dry so I think sat for too long. Very loud, but overall clean. My theory is if you can't service a table don't seat a table. Noticed several people waiting for food & drink. read more

After being told the wait was 15-20 minutes we waited for 45 minutes. Go in to check status and they were sitting a couple who got on the list after us. Kitchen staff arguing about customers complaining. Finally left, won't be back! read more

Clean! Friendly staff! Food was prepared well and delicious. Brought out in decent waiting time. Eggs were perfectly cooked. read more

my first time here with my three year-old grandson and I highly recommend. The service was unbelievable, and the ambience is comfortable and quaint and very clean and My grandson loved his grilled cheese and large portion of assorted fresh fruit and my avocado toast with egg was on the most amazing whole grainbread. I can't wait to come back. read more

The only reason I gave them 4 stars and not 5 is because they're nowhere near me in Baton Rouge LA. Which has to do with this location. Just first watch in general. Love this place. Lemon and the cinnamon pancakes are my faves. read more

The gravy they put on the biscuits is from a can and it tastes like it. The bacon was good.

Meh! We had the food to go so we'd consider trying it again, but eating in. However, it was just ok. We tried the shrimp and grits and traditional breakfast, but after trying it we weren't blown away. The wait time wasn't horrible and was within 5 minutes of the estimate given through the app! It was a Sunday morning so it was pretty busy. All in all, a neat place in a good location! read more

Wow, unreal how much money we just spent to not get much of any meat in our burrito. I ordered the elote burrito and all I tasted was egg and potatoes. They skimped out on the corn and literally gave me a teaspoon of chorizo. I understand they were busy, service was fine. But to not give us what we ordered is crazy. I will not be back until this is made right read more

I'm disappointed with the experience we had this morning at First Watch. Our group of 10 arrived and waited patiently to be seated. However, while we were still waiting, several smaller groups -- mostly white -- who came in after us were seated before us. When we asked the staff, we were told the kitchen was understaffed and that they were only seating smaller parties. While I understand staffing issues can happen, it was hard not to notice the pattern -- we were the only Asian group waiting, and somehow every other table that was seated ahead of us did not face the same restriction. It left us with a very uncomfortable feeling, as if we were being quietly excluded for reasons beyond staffing. Disappointed and hurt. We expected better. UPDATE after business response: Thank you for the reply, but I must clarify that what happened didn't feel like a simple staffing issue. As a group of Asian diners, we were treated differently than multiple smaller white groups who came in after us and were seated first. This was hurtful and felt discriminatory. I truly hope this is taken seriously and not brushed aside as a "misunderstanding. read more

We just left. We were greeted with an open door, and the place was not full at all. We waited 30 minutes and no one came to get out order or even offer water. I looked at several people in the eyes and no one acknowledged us. Disappointed to say, we will not be back. Also, the manager came to a table near us, and apologized for their meal not made right , Twice! read more

The food was great and cooked exactly as ordered. The service was excellent even when they were very busy. The parking was convenient. The decorations were moden. It is a must try location. read more

Our server Kyle a the Dune Lakes Blvd location was awesome! Quick service and very funny! Food was delicious. Highly recommend!

This place was AMAZING and I'm not even a big fan of breakfast food. My boyfriend and I went around 1:50pm on a Saturday so they weren't very busy like they probably are in the morning. The overall ambiance was very chill and aesthetically pleasing. I would definitely go back. read more

I give this place 5 stars!.... So little story, I had 1st Watch for the 1st time In Orlando in 2019. I had no idea it was a chain and had an app for reservations... When I was Yelping places for brunch in Destin, and knew this was our last meal before heading back to Atlanta, I decided what the hell.... I like this place because they have many options, and the food is fresh and good quality. This location has a nice patio area and our waiter was super chill and laid back, answering questions we had and being fast with service. Nothing bad to say here...5 stars! read more

Service with a smile. Food was very good Place was clean and nice! It was a chain and first watch so overall very good! A bit pricey and not the donut hole across the street but good none the less! read more

Always a good dining experience here! I appreciate their creative menu and willingness to accommodate my food allergies. Service is excellent and welcoming. Am I the only one that finds the coffee a little bitter and overly strong? I love a good dark roast but theirs tastes like it's a little burnt. Probably just me. read more

I'm not sure if one person was working the whole restaurant or what but we couldn't get any service. Finally had to ask hostess for our drinks after waiting for 20 mins.

I was hesitant about coming here because the menu items are a little new age for my tastes but gave it a try anyway, I was pleasantly surprised, the coffee was good and wait staff nice and friendly. I was able to find a breakfast that was my taste( bacon, eggs, waffles without all the froufrou stuff ) . Real maple syrup. My wife had the elevated egg sandwich with fried potatoes which was really good. The whole experience was great I would eat here again. read more

This is without a doubt the best service at any First Watch location we have ever experienced. We had people that weren't even our waiter stopping to check on us. Food was great & cooked just as requested. Demarco (sp) is a great waiter! Other locations need to send their employees here because whomever trained them is lacking in some areas. read more

Salmon eggs Benedict. Not for everyone, but great for me. The kale tonic is very good. Also tried the "Morning Meditation", another vegetable "tonic". I like both but the kale is superior. This First Watch is across Highway 98 from the venerable and adored Donut Hole. No doubt, the Donut Hole has caused this area where 30A and 98 meet to be the region's "breakfast district". read more

We had the 2 for 1 lunch. My wife had the 1/2 ham sandwich & soup. I had the pecan salad & soup. I had a bite of my wife's ham sandwich & the taste was amazing. The salad has tons of flavor. The soup was excellent. Excellent service & fast. Would stop again read more
