The bar host was friendly and got my food order quickly. The vibe was comfortable and felt like a community.

Love this spot!! A must try is their million dollar bacon such a surprise how yummy it is. Try the Monterey Club and the breakfast sandwich are always winners too!! read more

Schaumburg FW Great atmosphere and layout plenty of booths Great service and food Heads up on a couple of items If you get their juice order without ice! They fill the glass with ice and you get less than 1/3 glass of juice Waffles - if you don't ask for extra crispy it comes out limp like a pancake !!! But even crispy comes out soft - probably same batter as pancakes Overall definitely good read more

The service was great & the food was delicious. Wide variety of breakfast & lunch options. We will definitely go back. read more

I was just there Wednesday. Restaurant was not at all crowded. Food took a long time to come out and the was cold! It must have been sitting. I should have sent it back but could not not wait that long for it to come out again. Get your act together First Watch or you're going to lose customers!! read more

We went to First Watch on Sunday at 10:30 a.m on 10/08/23. The wait from ordering to receiving the meal was unacceptable. All meals for the six of us was delivered to the table cold, overcooked or inferior in some way. We were told there was some sort of oven problem, which I understand happens, but the food should not have been served or some concessions should have been made. read more

Service was not great. It took nearly 10 minutes to get a server in a half full restaurant. We ordered a pitcher of sangria and had to ask for water as well. BLT eggs Benedict: eggs were over cooked so no running yolk. There was one piece of bacon, so it was missing that flavor. Avocado was underripe and firm. Manager was visibly and audibly irritated with a server who had entered a ticket into the POS incorrectly. read more

Atmosphere- above average decor. Booth Seat cushions are already collapsing in Bloomingdale. Service- prompt greeting by all. Smiles too. Delivery of food however was slow which resulted in cool breakfast food. Food- Average portions on big plate. The waffle was mushy and chewy but tasty. The two eggs came out under cooked and watery. Could not eat them, did not send back due to time. The ham was thin cut and cooked to dry state. Again to was hard to cut. My assignment is First Watch is a fancy Denny's that needs to get their food quality up along with service to match its pricing. From my experience the competition is better DEAL right now. read more

Been to other First Watch restaurants in other states and was so happy one was opening close to my house. This location did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the service was the best! Breanna was such a nice and sweet server. I'll definitely be back. read more

Food was awesome! I got the pumpkin pancake meal off the fall menu and loved it. My husband had the trifecta and loved his meal. Eggs were cooked perfect. Jackie was an awesome server! We received our food quickly and it was hot! I like that the butter was soft and spread easily on the pancake. read more

Nice restaurant! Been couple of times trying different meal, all are delicious, service also great!

Cute place! Love the ambiance and decor. A refreshing breakfast/brunch spot in Schaumburg. It's not your typical breakfast place. They have a healthier approach with salads on the side, but you can substitute their seasoned potatoes. We sat at the bar and our bartender Carlos was the man! The churros-- were not that great. Like I said, this is a healthier spot. Otherwise, this place is a must try! read more

I'm so happy they opened one near me. I love first watch. Foods awesome. Place is clean and nice decor

Fantastic food, service, & atmosphere at Lake Zurich location on Rand Rd. Have not been to Golf Rd location!

I thought the menu was varied as opposed to other breakfast restaurants. The food was very high quality. The breakfast tacos were great as were the banana granola pancakes. read more

The perfect spot for weekend brunch. Diverse menu of breakfast and lunch options. Flavors were on point. Great decor and lively ambiance. All staff members were extremely friendly, from the hosts to the server. Everyone was cheerful and had a smile, which was refreshing. The staff's warmth was notable and appreciated. They can get busy on the weekend, so I highly recommend checking the app or website for online check-in. It shows the current wait time, so you can check-in virtually if there is a long wait. You'll then receive text updates. The system worked great and estimated wait time was spot-on. read more

I was so excited to come in and have breakfast here. I came in when they opened and had a pleasant time. Unfortunately today I got kicked off the booth I was seated at for a group of 5. I came in and a server was quick to seat us. As we wait for our actual server to come and take our orders, a server came and said she didn't know why we were sitting here because it was for a different group that was at the door. Why were they not seated then. And why would she make me get up if we were already seated. Im very disappointed at the way she approached us. It felt very accusatory. If she had came to us with a different attitude or tone, I would have been perfectly fine with switching seating arrangement. read more

Do not recommend this place. We waited for a very long time to be seated and even longer to get our food. After a long wait some of our food was served cold. Food wasn't good And our waiter hardly checked up on us she basically just brought the food and never came to ask if we need anything else. Waisting a lot of money on breakfast and our food being cold was absolutely upsetting. read more

Not sure why this place has such great reviews. Went at 9:45 this morning, expecting chaos since it was a holiday, but was fairly empty. Even still, no server came to our table. Manager came to get our coffee, still no server came by. About 20 mins into us sitting there, a server (could have just been a host since she seemed timid) came and got our food order. I'm giving this place 2 stars because food was just meh. Nothing seemed to have any seasoning on it, not even salt or pepper. My Bacado omelet had almost no cheese and avocado looked like it was thrown on as an afterthought. Total bill for 2 coffees (just plain brewed coffee, nothing fancy) and an omelet and a frittata was almost $40 which seems excessive for what it was. It's a cute place if your going for the ~ViBeS~ but if you want legit breakfast food, go across the parking lot to Wildberry. read more

2nd time to First Watch excellent service, great food our server was Isabella Rivera, beautiful attentive young lady, I give her 5,, I will ask for her again . read more

I love this place! They have such good food (especially the Market Hash) and the atmosphere is so cute. Their drinks are amazing, especially the caramel crunch iced coffee and purple haze! The service is great as well. Great breakfast spot!! read more

Its actually great and I don't normally go to korean restaurants but this is amazing like better than seoul bites dont know how to spell it. The environment is great too, I love the people.

I have been to this place three times. I gave it a good chance but there will be no more chances. Today was the worst of the three. We came in as a party of five. We were seated sooner than expected so Thought we were ahead of the game since my son had a flight to catch. Thanks to the waitress, that lead has disappeared.. I wish she had a name tag on, so I don't know her name. She has two skinny braids so that's really the only way to describe her. She came up to table and asked if we wanted coffee, poured two of the four and said she'd get another pot. I also asked for more sugar. She passed us up multiple times and nothing. She went to multiple tables and one table actually sat down after us and she took their order already. Meanwhile, no sugar, no coffee and no taking of our order. I'm saying this is like 15 minutes later. I keep looking over at her and noticed one of the bus girls looking at me as if she knew what was happening. She goes over to the waitress and talks to her . Moments later she finally comes over. My husband asks her for more coffee (that we should have gotten long time ago) and I ask her for sugar. I was shocked when she said, " I can get you coffee and sugar or take your order, but I can't do both at once." REALLY??!!!! How unprofessional is that??? She was the one who said she'd be right back with a new pot and never showed up . Now. It's our fault?!!! Then I told her my son has a flight to catch . She gives me a blank stare. She didn't care and yet she was the one making us late. Starts taking our order. When she gets to me I say two eggs over medium well and was surprised she didn't ask if wanted meat, or hashbrowns or fruit etc etc etc. You know how it is normally at restaurants. So I had to say and I'll have the wheat toast with NO butter. I didn't want meat anyway so I thought okay it will come with hashbrowns. They brought over literally just TWO EGGS WITH ONE PIECE OF TOAST AND BUTTER! Which I didn't want butter. Okay so I admit maybe I could have been clearer. But what about her?!?? I have always had waitress clarify, any meat? What kind of toast? You want the meal or Just two eggs. I mean seriously!!!! Worst experience have had in a long time! I will never be back. The second time we were there is was sloooooow too, but thought let's try again. Then this happens. I think you guys need to train your waitresses better . I am in a customer service position and I can tell you if I talked to a Customer like that I wouldn't have a job. What a shame!! Her attitude was terrible and uncalled for since she caused the problems. She is lucky she got any tip at all from us. I truly wanted to leave her zero. The worst part we had to pay a lot of coffee that we only had a full cup of each anyway. Save yourselves the trouble and go someplace else. I will say it is a nice looking restaurant. But that's the only nice thing I could say. Food was just okay all three times. It was only Lukewarm as was the coffee. read more

We come here every weekend because the food is amazing. We usually get the breakfast tacos and the Floridian french toast. The one big thing I am obsessed with is the Blackberry Brumble Sangaria. We usually sit at the bar and we have Jackie as our server. She is always pleasant and she makes us feel welcome. Christine one of the managers is always so nice and says hi when we are in there. Ellen and Jenya (sp?) know us because we come in a decent amount and they even come over and say hi to us. We never have felt more welcome. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Food was great... we just had to wait 45 minutes for it... Surprisingly on a Sunday morning we were seated quickly, because we were able to check in online! The only reason why I'm giving this place a 3 is because our waiter was so nice, offered to give a muffin complimentary for waiting for so long and the vibe and aesthetic look of the place was great. We ordered the turkey sausage biscuits & gravy and the Farmhouse skillet hash which were both great, fresh ingredients. read more

Great food and drink selection! Loved that there was no wait on a Friday morning for brunch with a friend. Definitely felt rushed out though. Not the place to go to sit and catch up and enjoy a friends company. Server brought us our bill before even asking if we wanted anything else. My friend had originally planned on ordering another mimosa and maybe splitting some donuts at the end of our meal. We weren't able to order anything else as it seemed our server wanted us out asap. read more

I highly recommend this place we had such an amazing kabab and chicken. Thank you for the good service.
