Decor is farmhouse style- light and airy! It doesn't feel crowded...even when every table is full. Food is fresh and yummy. Classic go-to food, like bacon, have their own twist (Million Dollar Bacon with cyann) Decent breakfast place with an unique artsy feel like Asheville. Quality and service is good but it is worth to note that prices are on the higher end because most of the food is advertised fresh and organic. It is a pretty environment to entertain out of town guests, however, that said if you're looking for a weekend breakfast place I honestly feel like you could get this same food at different restaurant for half the price. read more

Omg! I think I'm in love with this restaurant!! The pictures you see on their menu and on here is really what it looks like when you order it. I'm amazed! And the quality of their ingredients is on par with my taste buds!! Fresh and not greasy breakfast just how I like it!! I'm definitely coming there to eat again! Too bad they don't open later than 2:30. Or else I would have it for dinner too. Please open up a First Watch restaurant over by Greer Wade Hampton!!! read more

This was my first time in and I about licked the plate . I had the 2 for you and the roast beef sandwich was delicious and I could have made a meal of the pecan salad. I will definitely go back read more

Most mid restaurant ever. Food wasn't bad necessarily but it definitely wasn't good. Some plates just had no flavor to them. Coffee cups were dirty. Place is extremely loud, maybe I'm just too old. Overall wasn't awful but definitely not my first choice, especially because you'll have to wait 20-30 minutes for a table. Basically it's a more expensive IHOP. read more

Great place to grab some breakfast. If you go, have to try out their "Million Dollar Bacon" and yes, it's worth paying for.

We first tried First Watch in Bluffton, SC, later in Lakeland, FL and now here in Simpsonville, SC. In all three cases the food was excellent, the service very good, and there was no pressure to leave, even though the restaurant was full with people waiting. The person complaining about small portions must be an eager eater indeed! I'm a big guy and love my breakfast, but left a bit on my plate after ordering the Works omelet. My wife had the Chickenchanga and enjoyed that as well. All and all a very enjoyable and relaxed breakfast experience. read more

Mercedes took great care of us. The food was wonderfu!

Incredible service, great food, awesome decore plus million dollar bacon! what a great place to meet up with family and friends for breakfast/ brunch. Highly recommend their pancakes as well. read more

We waited for an hour to get seated qnd people who got there after us were seated before us without any wait, then after we got inside it was another 20 minutes before getting our food they charged us 3.99 for my daughters small cup of milk and the overall service was not the best and could have been better read more

Servers are wearing masks but three or four of them don't cover their nose so I feel like the guidelines are not being enforced by management. They no longer keep the tables separate and they all are used. The food is amazing and the service is OK. A little over priced for breakfast but again great food! read more

Super cute! The food quality is top notch and when my friends and I were eating here -- we all said that we loved the atmosphere and the only thing that would make it better is to add mimosas! read more

I love this place. The food is incredible and service is great. There's always a wait on Saturday and Sunday mornings, but it moves pretty quick. read more

One of my favorite breakfast spots! I was so happy to get one here. Can't wait to try more menu items. The Chickichanga is a favorite of mine. read more

Stopped in for a lunch time to go order. Service was relatively quick, staff was of course busy with table seating. 3 stars because the quality of food was average and quantity was small for the price. Market veggie sandwich was filled with veggies and mozzarella, not much flavor but the toasted bread was tasty, multi grain with lots of seeds. Tomato soup was pretty generic, premade and cup was literally only half full. So half a sandwich and canned soup for $10. Ok but nothing to rave about. read more

Excellent food! Excellent service! Consistently great restaurant! Would give it a 10 if I could! Thank you! read more

The market veggie sandwich is awesome!!! I would sometimes eat it twice-a-day! Their apple juice is wonderful as well.

I was surprised how good the food was and how fresh the food was and how convenient the price was. We definitely coming back to eat there.

So we finally woke up early enough to get in before the crowds of the weekend. Sunday around 8am is perfect, walked right in. I'm from Florida so I've eaten my fair share of First Watch as it was walking distance from our house, so I knew what to expect. Service was great, our waitress was attentive and friendly. I ordered the trifecta with a banana crunch pancake. The food came out room temperature and the bacon was cool. Seeing as I'm not the first or only person to note this hopefully the kitchen staff will figure the timing out better. Even with this little hiccup every thing tasted great. We will definitely give them another try. Also can someone please turn the heat down a little, it was very warm in the restaurant. read more

First time to eat here on Saturday Jun 19. We had driven by many times and it was always busy. Reviews were good so we got up early to give it a try. The food was good. I had the waffle and millions bacon, which were both good but would have been better if the bacon had come at the same time as the waffle not when I was half done. Still taste was good. My son and his wife had the hash plate and he had the trifecta. They were both pleased with their food. Overall experience was not bad. Expect to pay more for this breakfast then you would most places but the food is really good and presentation is nice. Our total for 3 was just over $50 and more than the usual breakfast but once in a while maybe. read more

Healthy fare. Was inviting and staff made good recommendations. Was a little pricey as was $32 for myself and my daughter with just 2 entrees and their million dollar bacon, which was tasty but could have been more crispy. I will go again and try something new. Definitely nice to get a turkey burger with greens salad at 8:45 on a Sunday am while my 9 year old was eating nice french toast with fruit and berry compote. As Simpsonville has limited early morning options, this is a nice pick. read more

Not sure why this place has only 3 1/2 stars. I'll give it an enthusiastic 5 stars! I needed a place to hang out while my car was being repaired. Since I was hungry I thought I'd give it a try. It's in the same building as the old Panera bread. The menu is full for breakfast and lunch. Closes at 2:30 PM. Great selections for the non-meat eater. The waitress even gave me a recommendation to replace the eggs. The wait staff is very, very good. The food is well prepared, and the atmosphere is bright and happy. I highly recommend giving it a try. read more

Tried First Watch in Simpsonville, SC twice. Both times I was extremely pleased. I've never been an "omelet person", but decided to try them out. On my first visit, I had one, properly called "THE WORKS". It consisted of ham, bacon, sausage, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions and tomatoes with Cheddar and Monterey Jack, topped with all-natural sour cream. (Wonder how it got its name?) It's quite a meal at 720 Cal and $11.29, but it's big enough to make 2 meals (for most people, that is!) I ate the whole thing. My second trip, I tried the "CHILE CHORIZO" omelet with chorizo, avocado, green chilies, roasted onions, Cheddar and Monterey Jack, and topped with all-natural sour cream and served with a side of house-made pico de gallo. Again, this was quite a substantial meal at 730 Cal and a price-tag of $10.69. Half of this went home for a second breakfast. On both occasions, they brought a carafe of really tasty coffee. My wife enjoyed sandwiches both times, and said she was really happy with her choices. What a great experience! I'm definitely a fan! read more

First dining experience and we throughly enjoyed it! My husband had the Trifecta breakfast and I had the biscuits with turkey gravy. Barely any food left on our plates! Great atmosphere, very open and love the farmhouse feel. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Great service food and menu selections.One of the best breakfasts in Simpsonville! We were seated quickly with a minimum wait time.

Food was ok but service is slow. They make a big deal of everything organic or free range and of their coffee yet it was weak and tasteless. Well bottom line is not worth all of the hype. read more

Ate breakfast here this morning and it was so good!!!! Inside is a cute, farmhouse style with open and airy seating. Pretty healthy menu. I got the chikinchanga with potatoes--- sooooo tasty. We will be coming back here for sure! read more

Had trouble with a kids pancake of all things. It was totally burnt on one side. We ordered 2 orders of kids chocolate chip pancakes both burnt horribly on one side. One kid decided to eat it, the other refused so we sent it back. The same pancake came back. We took the other child elsewhere to eat. Really left with a bad taste in our mouth, wasted 2 1/2 hours and left with a very hungry kid. We did not have to pay for the inedible pancake but really did not help the situation. Won't be back. By the way those are fork scraps on that pancake, it was that burnt. read more

Very overwhelming menu- so many options! But the 2 times I've been there recently what I've chosen has been spot on! The omelettes are so big! We went on a Saturday morning and came on right before the morning rush. The food was great, service was good and atmosphere was nice. A little loud, but as a mom of a 2 year old, I'm thankful for a little loud right now! read more

Really good food and friendly staff. Our server was very attentive. My egg white omelet had nice sized chunks of fresh tasting white meat turkey. Coffee was solid. The million dollar bacon was excellent. Only in town for a few days and I'm glad I spent one of my meals here. read more

Love this place. Ashley is my favorite server. She's fantastic. Very polite. I always hope to get her when we go. Love the food @ First Watch!!! read more

I've been to First Watch twice and had great experiences both times. The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is nice. The waitstaff is always friendly, too. read more

Excellent breakfast!! Nice and friendly staff. Be prepared to bring a sweater temp in there is a bit chilly!

This place has really gone downhill! I used to have breakfast here once a week and at first the food was fairly consistent (I always order the same thing). The last few times I went, which was over the course of several months, the food was AWFUL! I ordered a cinnamon roll that was served still frozen in the center. Customizations we're ignored. Eggs were raw.. there were issues like these at every visit. But the very last time I visited, every single thing my party ordered was awful. One guest with a dairy allergy was served a dish smothered in sour cream (of course, they ordered it to be dairy free). Before it was even placed on the table, the food runner was made aware that it was made wrong, they apologized, and said they'd remake it correctly. Several minutes later, they brought out the EXACT same plate of food except most of the sour cream had been scraped off, and from sitting in the back it was now cold. I was appalled! To add insult to injury, another person in the party had ordered a jalapeño cornbread that came out burnt to a crisp. This time, we told the server that it was exceptionally over cooked, which he agreed with, apologized, and said he'd bring a "less well done one". Same scenario this time..a few minutes later, the exact same, burnt to a crisp jalapeño cornbread was reserved to our table. At this point we sent back both dishes and asked to have them removed from the check. Initially the server said they would only to return a moment later saying the manager wouldn't remove the dishes! The compromise was that we could choose 1 dish off the menu for them to prepare as a to go meal at no additional charge. We stated we just wanted the cost of the inedible food removed, but they firmly refused. When all was said and done, the $25 for food we never even touched remained on our bill. I will never be back! read more

Absolutely amazing meal! Waitress Mercedes gave us great run down of the recipes and samples of the fresh juices. Had the Carnitas Burrito and Trifecta with blueberry pancake. Wow! So tasty and such a great blending of unique flavors. read more

The food was delicious and the service was friendly. I highly recommend giving this place a try. It is well worth the wait! read more

Went there for Brunch with the family. Waitress never refilled our drinks at all or checked up on us till she brought the check. The food was mediocre, scrambled eggs were runny, biscuits were dry. Waffle was awesome which is why I'm giving 2 stars instead of one. Probably not going back. Never left a restaurant more dehydrated than when I came in before. read more
