Party of two. Waited for a text message that never came. We sat in the car because it was full in the waiting area. We saw other team members that came in after us get seated and still no text. Came inside and someone who just walked in was being told they could seat them so I told hostess uh we've been waiting for a text and other members from our team who came after were already seated ahead of us. She says let me see if we have a table. Finally seated but now still waiting just to get water. Took forever for the meal. Terrible service & a mediocre meal! We are from out of state so we don't know the area. But would never come to this location again. read more

Went to get a drink called Purple Haze. Door was locked it was 3:40pm. Manager came to the door and asked what she could get me. I told her and she let me in. Unknowingly to me the restaurant was closed. She promptly made me the drink and rang me up. I felt so bad because I had no idea they were closed. The Manager was amazing and gave great customer service. Best drink I have had btw. First time ever at this restaurant. Became a customer for life after this experience. Keep up the great work! read more

Went the Mid Rivers location with my Dad who recently past, and he couldn't say enough of how great First Watch did breakfast. We tried the new one in the Streets of St Charles area on Beale St., and it is a great presentation. Quality accommodations and perfect food choices. Had slight mixup with my wife's gluten free toast but First Watch fixed it immediately and I think the entire management team came by and checked on her. They were nice enough to comp her meal, and you can tell they take customer needs seriously. Great breakfast today. I'd salute our waitress, but they don't do tags and operate on team concept. Great job, First Watch! read more

First time visiting on a Saturday morning and was packed. Used the waitlist on the yelp app which helped make use of our wait til our table was ready. Menu has several traditional selections and well as an extensive healthy menu. Portions were great and can't beat prices. Service definitely made the experience one that we'll definitely be back. read more

We ate at First Watch on Beale St on 9/30/23 and we had the French toast with sausage and chile chorizo omelet. Both excellent! I got the caramel iced coffee, and our sever Annie made it look better than the marketing pictures!! She was an amazing server and we enjoyed her so much! Will be back next time we visit the area! read more

Everything here is the best! My eyes have been opened and I will try them in any city that I visit. The food was fresh and I enjoyed the healthy choices as well. read more

Horrible customer service! Their automated cue system is a travesty. Walk up in person and am told 20 to 30 min. Fine accept the wait. After waiting 50 min am told online customers who show up bump you or cut in front of you. I wouldn't eat here if it was free. Never coming back. Zero stars read more

I'm always looking for a nice clean place to eat that has great food, this place was beyond my expectations.. So I found this place on yep and the reviews was amazing... My wife and I check it out for breakfast and the food was unlike any place we've been to. It was excellent!!!! Everything was made fresh, I mean everything... Everyone was extremely nice and professional, I'll server Michael was awesome!!! I will definitely return and I highly recommend everyone check this place out. read more

Greatttttt brunch spot. Highly recommend. They've added cocktails to their menu which makes it my new favorite brunch spot.

We are in town and decided to try this place out from the Yelp reviews. We got the millon dollar bacon it was delicious! I would eat an entire plate by myself. We got the avocado toast and biscuits and gravy. The avocado toast was light and really creamy. The coffee was very good and the water came in cute little canisters. Overall, very good. The only downfall to this place is the line. It is very busy. We got on the waitlist on Yelp and still ended up waiting 20 minutes on top of the 30 minutes the Yelp app told us to arrive. read more

I love this restaurant. I have been to two locations. The waitress Paige was so friendly and helpful at the St. Charles location. We came with a large party and she took care of each and everyone with enthusiasm, attention to detail and oozing with friendliness. Thank you Paige for taking care of me and my family. read more

We are driving through St. Louis (all the way from Arizona!) and had an amazing experience with Annie as our server. It's not only apparent she loves what she does, but she is so warm and welcoming and just overall we had a great experience with her! She was very detailed with our order and also recommended something new that I hadn't had on the menu, which I loved. Thanks again, Annie! -Friends from Arizona read more

We were here this morning for a business meeting. The food and service were great! Coffee and water always full. All of the food looked very fresh and inviting! I had the lemon ricotta pancakes and they were delicious! read more

First Watch - lemon ricotta pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Charles, Missouri

Food is always great. Love their menu. It changes with the seasons and the men's selections are healthy

I like dining at First Watch cafes because there are some good healthy alternatives. They serve unique flavorful breakfast items, but they also make a great turkey burger. The food can be a little on the high fat side (if you're a macro counter!), but you can generally make substitutions to accommodate any diet. The lemon vinaigrette that they use on the side salad is heavenly. Light and not too sour. Also, their coffee is fantastic. This location was easy to access from the highway. They had plenty of open seats and we were served promptly. I'm a fan! read more

We had Paige as our server on Saturday and wow was she great. So funny and on top of everything, one of the best servers I've had in a very long time! Make sure to ask to sit in her section and get the million dollar bacon. The food is always great but I wanted to highlight the outstanding service! read more

Good food, great service, pick up takes about 20-30 minutes longer than they estimate. Always get a juice- so good!

I like the variety of choices. We've gone several times. Nice that you can join the line before arriving.

Awesome service and food is always delicious! Love this place. I would highly recommend it

Came in on a Friday afternoon just before lunch and our large party of 8 was seated immediately. The selection was everything your brunch loving heart could want. Out food came out incredibly fast and it was all hot and delicious. Everyone in our group agreed! read more

First Watch - Biscuits and turkey sausage gravy with eggs and potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Charles, Missouri

Waited 1 hour and 20 minutes before food arrived. First red flag was it took 20 minutes for coffee to come out. I will never return. Manage wouldn't speak to us. When our food came out, half of our food was missing and it took them 3 tries to get it all out to us. Worst experience ever. read more

I cannot wait to come back next week! Everything tasted just as good as it looked. I ordered the Floridian French Toast, turkey sausage and cheese eggs. It was boooooooooooomb! The French toast was covered with fresh banana, kiwi and strawberries. The service was good but not spectacular enough for me to remember. I had a good time with my friend and her food was good too. Of course I had some. read more

This place is always consistently good across the brand for me. The turkey egg white omelette and the avocado toast are great items! The OJ is always fresh. The service is always friendly and quick. This location has a nice patio if it's not too windy. Definitely recommend if you're looking for quick and casual but quality. read more

First watch is one of my favorite places to eat breakfast..anytime I want a healthier breakfast without sacrificing taste I come here.

This is definitely the worst First Watch. Terrible waiting area, closely placed tables and terrible food and service. Just go to the Cracker Barrel or Ginghams down the street for breakfast and avoid this place. read more

First Watch generally has great food. However, their wait times are always off. This is the third time that I've checked in on waitlist and told it was a 15-20 minute wait. But here it is an hour later and we are still waiting. If you're in a hurry, this probably isn't the place for you. Just be honest about wait times, that's all. read more

I love First Watch!! Their menu has so many delicious items on it! I also like to see what their specials are for the day or the week when I drop in for lunch or breakfast!! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Charles, Missouri

Our first visit to First Watch restaurant. We used the wait list on the yelp app & while still at the casino. We headed there & our wait time was maybe only 5 mins if that! I ordered the farmhouse hash With my eggs ordered over easy & it was excellent. Hubby ordered the Belgium waffle, eggs & sausage. He said it was good. It was a very busy Sunday morning around 10:30am when we got there. Our food did take a little bit, but that's to be expected with as packed as they were. There was still a lg amount of people waiting when we left. read more

First Watch - Farmhouse hash with eggs over easy, toast & fresh fruit. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Charles, Missouri

Looking for a good bfast/brunch/lunch spot in the new St. Charles area? Look no further. First Watch is a great place to enjoy hearty (and many healthy) meals before 3:00p. Their breakfast options are plentiful and full of flavor. I recently ordered the Belgium waffle with 2 eggs scrambled and turkey sausage. Everything was excellent. The waffle was fluffy, hot, and tasted delicious. Eggs were cooked perfectly and turkey sausage (links) were also very good. I left feeling full but not gross. I've also tried the chicken salad on a previous visit and it was also excellent. Served open faced on a slice of freshly toasted grain bread the chicken salad was fresh, filled with apples (crunch) and other delights. I would recommend for lunch goers. Millionaires bacon is really tasty but sweet as candy. It's almost a candy-coated bacon with a little bit of spicy heat added. I was the only one at my table who enjoyed that dish. And $5 for 4 slices of bacon is a little silly. Interior is sort of industrial farm feel? I don't know, who cares. Both times I've visited, the place was pretty busy but our parties were seated quickly. Service is a little slow, but not enough to ruin the experience. When you're in the area and have a hankering for fresh breakfast or lunch I'd tell ya to check out First Watch. read more

the food was amazing, the service was great, and not too long of a wait. i would definitely love to come here again and try new items on the menu! read more

Was surprisingly delighted with the breakfast and great coffee. Service was good but slightly pricey. Regardless will return.

Great breakfast. No wait at 9am on a sunday! Had the avocado toast with poached eggs and coffee. Others at the table had a veggie omelet and chocolate chip pancakes and everyone was happy with their food. read more

This wasn't my first time at First Watch, and it most likely won't be my last. Great brunch spot, but the food this time was sorta bland. I ordered my normal French toast combo, but it was very bland. The bacon was also too greasy to truly determine the bacon's taste. I tried adding as much as I could to my meal, but it never worked out. The restaurant was very noisy and packed as well. If you're looking for a quiet, quaint brunch spot, First Watch (at least this location) isn't it. read more

First Watch - French toast, bacon and fried potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Charles, Missouri

I'm so excited this place is finally open here! They have great variety on their menu and everything I had was fresh and flavorful. We were greeted with great smiles upon our arrival this morning. Our waitress was great as well and I cannot remember her name but please know it's not because our service was mediocre. She kept the coffee pot full and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the Trifecta which comes with eggs, either a waffle or pancake and your choice of bacon or sausage. I enjoyed it with two eggs over hard, crispy bacon and a waffle. I also ordered a side of breakfast potatoes for my table to try and share. Those were great as well!! The restaurant has lots of windows that offer exceptional light and holds a lot more people than I thought. I highly recommend dining here. You won't be sorry. read more

We spent the night in St. Charles and randomly chose First Watch for breakfast. We loved it! It has a happy atmosphere with a great staff who are friendly and accommodating. Our food was delicious - not just ordinary breakfast fare. Lots of outdoor seating as well. We definitely recommend! read more

I'd really give a 3.5. Pros: clean, friendly staff, varied menu, fresh ingredients Con: They can't cook an over medium egg. My husband ordered over med eggs with avocado toast. The eggs delivered were over easy. Husband requested new ones. Eggs arrived in 1 min 45 sec. These eggs appeared to only have had brief interactions with the pan. Yolk cold; surrounding whites runny. Sashimi eggs, really. Husband explains to two servers that this is not over medium. They suggest that maybe he order over hard. Husband reiterates that he would like over medium. They appear to be uncertain of the definition of over medium, suggesting that over medium is subjective and can vary between dining establishments. Husband then reveals that he has been a chef for 25 years. (He has prospective cooks make him three types of eggs as part of their interview process.) He explains that an over med egg should have a warm, soft yolk that does resist minimal fork pressure. (Minimal fork pressure on an over easy egg will easily yield a runny yolk.) And there should be a bit of browning of the whites. Third egg attempt rendered one successfully cooked over med egg, the other was over hard. So.... Of the 8 eggs: 2 over easy 2 raw-ish 1 over med 1 over hard I recognize the cooking of the eggs is only one problem, and the restaurant has a lot of positive attributes. But... Its a breakfast place...and eggs are the cornerstone of breakfast. My suggestion would be for all staff to become more knowledgeable on the cooking specs for eggs. Not being able to properly cook eggs to various doneness in a breakfast joint is like a steakhouse not being able to differentiate between medium rare and medium well. Eggs are YOUR steak. Respect your eggs. Warmly, Dina And check this out:https://www.ahealthysliceoflife.com/how-to-make-the-perfect-over-medium-egg/ read more

In town for our daughters soccer tournament. Enjoyed brunch here today. I ordered the skillet hash with bacon and avocado. It was delicious. All of us enjoyed our food immensely! The staff was efficient and friendly. Looking forward to trying it again (maybe tomorrow!!) read more

I had brunch there this morning with my mom, and the food was great, as always. But I want to give a huge shout out to our server, Mary. She literally provided the BEST customer service that I've ever had from a server in a restaurant. She was friendly, and said " my name is Mary, and I have the pleasure of taking care of you today" From the way she suggested popular meals when we asked, to being patient, to giving us to-go cups of coffee on our way out. She was great, and everything that exceptional customer service should be. It was really refreshing to have someone who went above and beyond. Thanks, Mary! read more

First visit to this location. We went in on a Saturday morning, and were seated immediately. The restaurant was clean, and the noise level was perfect. Not to sound boring, but I ordered the same thing that I always order: The Teifecta. The eggs were cooked over-medium as ordered. The Belgium waffle was light and fluffy. My husband ordered the same thing and his breakfast was the same. Our only complaint was our bacon was cooked a bit too much and was too crispy. However, we ate it all. Our server was sweet and efficient. A nice breakfast. read more
