Took 4 out of town visitors to breakfast/lunch and we all loved our dishes. My vegetarian sister in law said the veggie melt was the best sandwich she's ever had. Service was attentive, coffee was good. Sure, not as cheap as breakfast at the Waffle House, but you get what you pay for. I'll go back again for sure. read more

I met a few of my girlfriends here for brunch. The service was excellent and the food what's good. The portions are insanely large... So be prepared to take some home. I think the prices for the area are about average. The only complaint I have is the parking issue. They need valet... On the weekends so I'm told it is extremely overcrowded. It took me 15 minutes to park. Otherwise an all around great experience. The restaurant was clean, relatively quiet, and a great place to enjoy good food and friends. I would certainly go back just maybe not on the weekend. They also had a lot of healthy choices for people with different dietary needs, ie low carbs, vegetarian etc. read more

I enjoy this spot since ostrau in the area. The service is good and the food selection and variety is just right. I enjoy the weekly specials that are seasonal. A must go for residents in the area. read more

Solid restaurant if you're craving some basic brunch. The wait isn't usually too long, and I actually used the No Wait app so that our table was ready when we got there (we were starving!). This is a definite bonus, since a lot of in town restaurants have a 30+ minute wait on weekends. They don't serve any alcohol (womp womp, forget Saturday morning mimosas). Parking is easy, and they have an okay patio. read more

service was slow to bring water. food came cold and even slower. happened twice. i give up. try broken egg. j christopher and even waffle house. for good service and hot food. read more

One of my fav breakfast places back in Florida and just found one here! I had the trifecta- a Belgium waffle cooked perfectly with bacon and eggs. Seriously the waffle was so good it did not need syrup. Fast service, we were in and out in an hour and there was a short wait when we got there. Highly recommend this place! read more

Oh my god this place is so good you have to try the veggie Grill sandwich it's to die for and it has everything you need plus it is very healthy and light on the calories.... read more

Solid breakfast joint. Love their kale juice. There's something for everyone. I'd stay away from the Benedicts because they can't seem to poach an egg with a runny yolk. But everything else is good. I love the lemon ricotta pancakes. Make sure to check the specials. Also, don't forget to use the online waitlist from the app. It gets busy! read more

Service is always extremely friendly and kind. They aways go an extra length even when we're waiting to make us feel comfortable. This previous time today though, they seemed to be as busy as normal, staffed the samed, but extremely slow service, sort of non responsive by many of the folks working here. I asked for a chocolate milk for my son and the man working the host stand made me feel like I inconvenienced him, meanwhile i am looking at 4 open tables during my entire 20 minute wait time. Server was great. Food came out sort of slow, about 45 minutes for a pancake, bacon, and 2 omelets. I guess we will see how next Saturday. Goes. I've been coming here since they opened, and I felt today was slow service that normal but absolutely worth the wait. read more

Pot of coffee and pitcher if water is a very nice touch!!! Service was very nice right when we talked in the door. Price is nice and food looks great!!' read more

This is an excellent place for breakfast or brunch. Their breakfast scrambles and hashes are delicious! They also have great sweet tea if you like that with your meal. My wife really enjoys the pancakes which are very large. read more

I love the food here especially their soups, however, trying to find parking here is a real pain especially on weekend mornings or lunch time. The service is not that great and it's unfortunate because the food is very fresh and delicious. read more

Came here for breakfast with the in-laws and will definitely return. I had a double stack of blueberry granola pancakes, which was delicious and a HUGE portion! Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals. Coffee was fresh, plentiful and very good. We sat on the patio, which was very pleasant. Service was fast and friendly. I really liked the atmosphere overall, but maybe it does feel a tad bit like a corporate chain. read more

Service was great, had omlette and fruit. Coffee was very good, the iced coffee is fantastic! Grits were the best I've had. Nice brunch experience! read more

As a health nut, there is a special place in my heart for restaurants that have healthy breakfast options. This place definitely does. The pesto chicken quinoa bowl tastes great and has easily become one of my top breakfast choices in the metro area. Oh yea, the service is great too. read more

Good food, Pleasant staff..... I will definitely be back......egg, avocado and chorizo hash; I subsituded chorizo for bacon...Delish... My lil cousin got the Sante Fe salad and said it was Delish read more

Food was great. I've seen portions bigger at other places, but it was still good none the less. Staff was friendly as well. Various vegetarian options. read more

This place is awesome! I love their selection of food and their specials have always been wonderful. I have never had a complaint about their food and I have been going here for over 2 years. You can order their pancakes each specially made with each filling (or without the fillings) and they are so big they are easy to share... or horde to yourself read more

Just tried to come in and get lunch at this location, the hostess was very very rude. We looked around and saw plenty of empty tables but yet she said the wait was an hour!! I then acquired about sitting on the patio outside so my pregnant wife could get off her feet and sit down, she gets smart and say the wait is an hour regardless!! We were in town for the weekend but wouldn't recommend this first watch to no one!!!! read more

I'd heard good things about FW, so my husband and I decided to try it out this morning. It was a bit slow getting seated, but staff is friendly, so it was fine. We ordered eggs Benedict and the SoCal burrito. My husband's burrito was amazing! The eggs Benedict was way over cooked though- not even a little runny. I asked for that to be replaced (took a long time to recook eggs) and when they came out, one was still over cooked. Our server (German) was awesome and didn't think twice to have the eggs replaced and didn't charge us (something I still would have paid, but it was a super nice gesture!). I would go back but I would never get eggs Benedict again- too many other places make them way better and poach the eggs correctly. read more

Ended up going for brunch one Sunday when we woke up and the power was out. Given it was super bowl Sunday, it wasn't terribly crowded and we were sat immediately. The food is great, it usually is though (I was frequented a couple locations in Wisconsin). The server was nice but she either needed more training or she was new. Either way, everything came out as we ordered so no bad review here. Will definitely be coming back! PS the multigrain pancakes are delicious read more

Very good breakfast/brunch with a nice menu! We split a quinoa bowl and the chickichanga which were both great. Manager was very nice to honor an expired coupon for us. Would definitely go back. read more

Saw First Watch on yelp, so we tried it. I had the Trifecta with a cheddar bacon waffle I will definitely have that again you should try it my daughter loved her Belgian waffle my wife had the cranberry oatmeal and it was very good as well read more

Waited for 10 minutes without getting a waiter. Had to talk to manager. Waited 45 minutes for an omelette to be made. Came out cold and had to send it back. Awful. read more

I had the pumpkin pancake special and it was fantastic! The serving size was great for the price. The food came out fast and the atmosphere was great! read more

My family and I have been here on many occasions and more often than not there is some sort of problem. It got to the point where I just expected something to be wrong...either items missing from our order, eggs cooked wrong, waiting forever to be greeted at the table...so now we just go somewhere else. I feel like ever since the restaurant changed from J. Christopher's they have been trying to figure out how to run a breakfast/brunch service and sadly they still don't have it right. I mean how can they be a breakfast place and not cook poached eggs properly?? When I ordered a Benedict my egg yolks we solid, when I told my waiter he was like so do you want new eggs...um yeah...and when they came out a second time the yolks were right but there were absolutely no whites. read more

My boyfriend and I came in around 10:30am and were promptly seated. I was almost certain we were in for a delicious meal and enjoyable experience -- unfortunately, I was only half right. Our server was very nice and polite. I ordered the Eggs Benedict Florentine (spinach and tomatoes instead of the traditional ham), and my boyfriend ordered the Benny's Benedict (biscuits, poached egg, and turkey gravy). The food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. The first thing I noticed was the "hollandaise" sauce. The reason I use quotations is because I'm not really sure what it was. It was orange, gelatinous, and tasted nothing like hollandaise. In fact, it didn't really taste like much of anything. The potatoes were my saving grace, but even those didn't have any flavor at all. The plate was a bit too small for the meal, too, so it was a struggle keeping everything from falling off the side with each bite. Overall, the entire meal was lackluster and disappointing. However, my boyfriend enjoyed his Benny Benedict and I thought it was pretty good, too. I'm kinda sad that I wasted the time and money coming here, but at least now I can cross this place off my list. read more

I always enjoy breakfast at First Watch. The food is delicious, they have great variety, and they have some very nice servers on staff.

This place was very good. Starting with parking which it was plentiful. The first thing that I wasn't too happy about was the hosting area. There was no one there if so , they were not trying to seat you when you walk in . We were so confused with the line at the register an got in it since it looked as though that's what you were supposed to do. Anyway , the food was not disappointing. I had the French toast with bananas, strawberries an kiwi an I must say it was a large portion an Delicious an my daughter the lemon curd pancakes which was amazing. We also had the egg, chicken sausage and potatoes which I was told was good as well. Waitress could you some personality but it was a all around enjoyable place an we will return. read more

Every experience that I have had with this restaurant has been deplorable. On my first visit, after sitting in an open area to avoid a 45 minute wait for seating, I had to wait approximately one hour for my order. So, I decided to call in an order for pick up the next time. A friend picked up the order and we found that part of the order was missing upon arrival. I called First Watch and was transferred to 4 people before speaking with a manager, who after a lengthy conversation finally said he would comp a breakfast in the future. A couple of weeks later when I tried to redeem the free order, I was told by the manager that he had no record of the previous verification. I will not do business with a restaurant with this level of customer service, considering the number great restaurants in Atlanta. read more

Love the food at First Watch, you can always count on having a delicious and healthy option here; however the price reflects the higher quality of food. This place gets busy on the weekends so if you are trying to get in after church on Sunday prepare to wait. read more

Took way too long for the waitress to visit our table after getting seated. Took way too long for the drinks to come and to be able to place our order. Ladies room was out of toilet paper. Food took way too long and the waitress never checked on us while we waited. Waitress replied with a snarky comment once we finally got her attention and asked for refills. Eggs Benedict were over cooked for a place that has so many eggs Benedict options. read more

I've been here three times. First time I ate in and everything was greats pancakes were superb and their kale drinks are awesome. Second time I got my good to go (avocado toast). I had never seen anything so horrible looking in my life. I had to drive back up there but they immediately fixed it and the manager was awesome about it. I don't mind screw ups sometimes. It's all about the recovery. They recovered well which is why I went back a third time ordering the avocado toast- which was done right. read more

One of the few 'nice' breakfast places around, but actually kinda pricy for what you get, which often seems bland and uninteresting. Quality could be better, but that's not the only issue. It just always seems the menu and food was strategically designed to take as much of your money for the least they have to give you. I truly wish I could write a more positive review, because some of the staff are so nice it hurts not to recommend this place. read more

Hands down the best breakfast in all of Metro Atlanta! Sourdough french toast, belgian waffles, crunch pancakes. Amazing!!!! Incredible Omelets!!! Topped off with friendly, quick and attentive severs!!! Don't die and go to heaven without eating at First Watch!!! read more

I love this place! The food is fresh, the prices are decent, the staff are super nice, and even when they are really busy the wait isn't too bad. The only things that took away from the experience were sitting too close to the bathrooms, which was unavoidable, and the parking situation on the weekend, which has nothing to do with the restaurant. Otherwise this restaurant beats other weekend breakfast/brunch places hands down! read more

This is my favorite brunch restaurant in Atlanta: excellent customer servuce, incredible food. In addition to the amazing menu, they always have a few others that change frequently. I have never been disappointed here, regardless of what I ordered. Thd coffee is off the charts. Highly recommended read more

By far this is my favorite place for breakfast. The food is excellent with great value prices. If you're in a hurry their kitchen is in accurate and speedy. They will custom make omelettes that are wonderful And great eggs Benedict. The service is friendly and the outside dining is very nice. Everybody I take there enjoys it. read more

My experience here was sub par to say the least. The food that I received was presented on dirty dishes and when the manager (Kelly) came out, he was quite annoyed and didn't seem to have time to address the complaint. I won't be coming back. Our server, Erin, was great however. She earned the one star I gave the place. read more

We left without eating after we sent our order back. My food was cold and on hard cold tortillas. My companion's Benedict was delivered with runny, raw egg whites oozing all over the rest of the dish. Inedible. I tried to at least eat the potatoes, that I ordered extra crispy, but they too, were cold and undercooked. We won't be back. The wait is too long for overhyped food. It's too bad because we were excited to eat here. Shame they advertise such an amazing menu but fail to execute simple culinary tasks, like cook the eggs and serve the food warm, much less hot. read more
