    Brussel Sprout Scramble
    Erica B.

    First watch is a great place to go for a quick bite and quality food. This was my first time visiting this location and I tried a seasonal Brussel sprout hash. It was very good, perfect amount of seasoning and my egg was crispy in all the right places. Our service was great for a large group, the waitress so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. It wasn't busy for a Thursday morning. I would visit again if I'm in the area.

    Tangerine Dream. This was an (apparently) limited time type of juice at the juice bar!

    This place gives people a unique experience! They have meals here for breakfast lunch and brunch, all different than the norm for dishes but tasty as far as I've had. They also have a juice bar with some switched out to give the chance to try other new juices! This place is great. Don't come around the week end if you are concerned about noise. It is also not as packed if you avoid days like Friday. Hope if you want to taste unique dishes for a nice brunch or breakfast you check out First Watch. It is worth the try!

    Enjoyed breakfast this morning at First Watch. Had to get the Million Dollar Bacon, didn't disappoint. I chose the Bacado Omelette, with potatoes, and my wife chose the Salad/Soup Pick Two, having the Chicken Avacado Chop Salad and the Tomato Basil Soup, all of the food was quick to come out, and delicious. Alanna our server did a good job of checking in on us. Recommend stopping in.

    Plenty of parking in this strip mall My family raved about First watch so I had to check them out. Glad I did ... breakfast was so good and portions are huge. We got there by 830 which was perfect. Looks like it can get busy Service was good. Felt a bit rush when the check was dropped off while we were in the middle of eating. Then waitress never came back That is my only con. I'll be back for the breakfast

    A rare event for us to dine at a restaurant in Springfield. We were running out -of -town errands and wanted brunch and ended up here. Nice for parking (coming from the city this always feels like a luxury). Our service was stellar and the place is nice with spread-out tables and booths and lots of light. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, my daughter ordered the brisket hash and we shared the skillet cornbread. My sandwich was ok. I didn't alert my server, but the avocado tasted over- ripe so I scraped it off. The brioche was a bit soggy and the egg didn't really run. The potatoes were good, however! My kid's brisket hash was decent but no "wow" factor. This is an ok place to get brunch. It wasn't delicious but it definitely wasn't terrible. I am aware this is a restaurant franchise so perhaps relying on the brand is a thing. It just didn't taste that fresh which was a bit disappointing.

    What a great addition to my area!! I don't have many fancier breakfast spots around me (fancy as in not just typical pancakes, waffles, eggs, omelets, etc), so was so excited when I saw this place. Service was top notch and the food was delicious. My kids had regular pancakes and the chocolate chips ones. I had the lemon ricotta ones. Oh man, were the pancakes so fluffy. It has a nice crisp but so soft on the inside. I ordered a side of chicken sausage with it (needed something other than carbs on top of carbs). It was definitely on the list of top chicken sausages I've had. My husband had an omelet. I had a bite of his and the mushrooms that they served in it was sooooo good. They weren't the typical flat mushrooms, but they were large and very fresh. Wish it came with more mushrooms in it. Can't wait to go back and try other things

    Food and service were really great. The prices however are a bit steep for the portions. Ambiance is nice and clean, can get crowded on weekends.

    Both service and food have been great the few times I have gone. I tend to stick with the "The Works" omelette with extra mushrooms. Oh man, the mushrooms are so flavorful and taste so fresh. I could eat these all day. I also order a side of their chicken sausage. Mmmm, drooling! Other items I have tried are dishes from either my wife or my kids and they never disappointed them or me. Definitely a breakfast spot that I'll always come back to.

    Their BLT with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and bacon. It was YUM!!!!
    Eli T.

    THIS. WAS. YUM. The food here was awesome! I got their BLT, and it was SOO good! The salad that I got was ok, and their juices were yum as well. The service was good, but the building was pretty cold and was very busy, so if you want to eat here, expect to wait some time. Then, I had to go to the bathroom. I kid you not, THE HANDICAP STALL WAS SOOOO BIG!!!!!! It had its own sink, baby changing thing, toilet, and so much room! It was very nice inside but the lunch menu is small though. 8/10 do recommend for a nice brunch.

    Salmon bennies
    Franco C.

    Good service. Great healthy menu. Recommended for breakfast. Service was attentive. Our greeter quickly got us a table on a busy long weekend. Our waitress was friendly, helpful and checked in often. Similar to other reviewers, we felt rushed with our check delivered when we were half way our eggs. Breakfast at a place like this should not feel rushed, as we like more coffee and maybe a sweet end after our eggs, so I recommend to mgt to adjust the policy here. On to the food. BLT bennies were good. Eggs were getting cold when brought to me. Still edible. Side salad was lacking dressing. Salmon bennies were better (both, temperature and there was dressing on the salad, so reco to check for consistency). Blueberry pancakes and waffles were good (although we would have ordered maybe more if we did not feel rushed). Probably best of this place is the healthy options they have, including freshly squeezed juices. With minor adjustments mentioned, I'd be happy to adjust the rating to 5 stars. Keep it up team!

    Front- Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and Purple Haze.  Back- Watermelon wake up and A.M superfoods bowl.

I had the BLT with avocado and every part of the meal was excellent. The toasty bread was crisp and had a really nice texture; the egg was cooked just how I asked; the bacon a perfect balance of crisp and chewy. I asked for an extra side of avocado (I'm all about getting my fiber) and it arrived at the peak of perfect ripeness. The home fries were tender and savory. Also my cappuccino was delicious. The dining area was very clean and had a faintly rustic feel. The bathroom was also sparkling clean. I was in and out in less than 40 minutes, too, but never felt rushed. There were plenty of vegetarian options. I'm not too sure about it if you have to avoid dairy or gluten; the menu has a lot of that. Handicap access was pretty good: no steps to get in and out of the place. Honestly I can't wait to visit here again!

So rather than their week at NJ shore, the crowd beat it to Apple Walnut. Took a little over 10min to be seated, so not terrible, but this was at the very tail end of service. I was born with an intermittent fasting stomach; I've never been a breakfast-eater and brunch is gross to me! I mention this because I've never taken my son out for breakfast foods so it was great to have this experience. My little one had a HUGE "Go Go Bananas" It said it was "hot cakes stuffed with Bananas" but they were just plain. It mentioned caramel on top which wasn't there (they subbed syrup without asking); frustrating and unprofessional. It also had a slice of poundcake French Toast topped with grilled bananas, and then banana French Toast with granola. It was a decadent treat of gluten and sugar that we don't normally eat at home. My son was really happy. My burger was okay but not memorable, and the fries were that awful batter-dipped cheap kind that I don't eat and they just made the whole thing "mid" as the kids say. Service was very very slow per the crowd and it being the end of the shift. Our server was cheerful and I told her to take her time, but I didn't realize we'd be left waiting forever for water refills, 30min for food (kitchen's fault), and at least 10min after asking for check. I still tipped well over 20% but their staff seems too spent and overwhelmed from the crazy crowds that are so unusual this time of year. In summary, it was great for decadent breakfast foods, diner-quality for my burger, and while I understand how taxed our server was, the service really dragged. I had seen reviews commenting on the wait but do beware that it's still suuuper bad apparently at all times of their hours, and even random weekdays when people are enduring their Trump staycations. I rate it a 3 but my son was so happy with his food so I rounded up.
