    My sister and I stopped here for a quick breakfast while we were out and had a great time. I ended up with a cup of coffee, hash, and the million dollar bacon. Since we were just refueling, we split the meal.

    Deep Fried !!!! Terrible !!!!

    Sorry Folks but I have visited this place dozens of times and the last two times have been very disappointing. Last time we visited it was Slow to be Seated because Staffing was the Problem, this time it was the Kitchen was Understaffed. When our Food came out my Sausages were burnt to a crisp, I called the waitress over She said Oh Sorry and returned with only one because they were out. Several other tables also sent back food items because of being over cooked. Seems either the Manager or Cook Manager should have Noticed this Way before or they just don't care how much Money they lose for the Business. Think I will wait a few weeks before coming back Another Broken Egg is just a Mile down the Road.

    Very busy and loud, but our server was still attentive! We decided to try the items on the summer seasonal menu.. Everything was fresh and delicious. First Watch is definitely a breakfast/lunch spot you have to visit at least once in your life!

    Cutest breakfast spot! The server was so kind and literally a mind reader! The vibe in the restaurant had a classic hometown feel! Would definitely order the Floridian French toast again!

    Yep; there's a wait.  A 45-minute wait.

    Visited here again 6/16/23 with our granddaughter and her boyfriend. We used to frequent FW in another state, but have have been to this one a few times with family. The price of coffee is high here ($3.89). In fact, we considered all their prices to be high. I had the Elevated Egg Sandwich on GF bread, hubby had Turkey Sausage Gravy Biscuit, the boyfriend had a Ham & Gruyere Sandwich, and the granddaughter had the Skillet Hash. Three of us had coffee. Breakfast for four, with tip, came to just under $80.

    We used made a reservation but there was still a not too bad wait. The place is always packed with people and lovely, which speaks to the service and food. I normally get the quinoa chicken bowl but the seasonal shrimp and grits were too good looking to pass up. The grits were thick and salted/seasoned just right. The shrimp was not undercooked and overly chewy (I hate that) so I was So Happy! No complaints at all about this meal! Good brunch scene and ambiance.

    I was finally able to stop by First Watch. We got there around 830am and there was no wait time. The food was delicious and the service was amazing! The star of the show was definitely the bananas fosters French toast. We shared that as a dessert. Pro tip: If you go online, you can check the wait times as well as go ahead and get in line while you're on the way! I definitely will be returning to check out other menu items.

    The service was exceptional. Our waitress gently checked on numerous times. She was very kind and friendly. Our food was great. It is a nice local healthy spot. I loved the colors of the fresh juice and the benedict. I did get the potatoes but was not fond of them. Not sure why but they were a bit tasteless to me. The juice was fabulous! I would like a bit more ginger though that's personal preference. I loved it as is too. We will be back. It's close to home and a nice stop. As for the ambience I thought it was very comfortable though quite chilly. It's a homey place.

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

Keep in mind they close at 3, with over 40 mins left after, no one else was in there and we got out afterschool down the rd at 2:19 and they seemed annoyed that we came in. Another Previous unwelcoming experience, they already don't want to serve food saying the kitchen closes at 2:30 but the previous time we came but we had plenty of time around 1:30 we showed up a few months back, even for a cold sandwich. Why offer it then on the menu? Might as well change their time to 2:30 since they don't want to serve people 40 mins before close. They weren't welcoming at all. Especially when the cashiers kid came, those two perked right up but acted so indifferent to us. I guess it depends who they know they'll care. It was a disappointing experience.
