    Burria chilaquiles  Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl

    Food? Amazing. Fresh, flavorful, excellent presentation Service? Also amazing! Our server was so helpful, making suggestions and checking on us just the right amount of times. She seemed genuinely happy we were delighted. Ambiance? Also cute! Who would think of hanging pallets from the ceiling? But it worked! We're quite happy and we will be back!

    This place never disappoints! Love it every time, no matter what we get. The service is always courteous and the bottomless coffee is the best. Sometimes the food can take a while since it's usually pretty busy but it's totally worth it.

    I've been here multiple times and have enjoyed everything I've tried. The breakfast tacos are a great portion and very satisfying, and the omelettes are always really good. I also tried the chicken changa, which was similar to a breakfast burrito but wrapped in a thin layer of egg instead of a tortilla. I had it with chorizo, bacon, cheese, and green chile, and honestly, the combination was amazing. It was a big portion for me and very filling. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu everything I've had has been consistently great.

    Kudos great staff, awesome food and matching ambiance. We liked how we were seated almost immediately then the food came quickly. Jaime our waitress was attentive and kind....that's for that sugar . The food was so delicious and hot. Overall 5 stars. Management your doing your job. Yes we left a nice tip .

    First Watch is an above-average breakfast place, which St. George certainly needs. Everything has a touch of "extra," from the menus to the decor to even the service, the experience here is elevated. I usually eat the same thing for breakfast, but the menu inspired me to try something new. I enjoyed the Healthy Turkey omelet, and it was outstanding! The coffee is delicious and I appreciate that we were offered coffee as soon as we sat down-nobody wants to wait for that! I'm glad we visited and we will most definitely make it back when we are out this way again.

    This is my second visit to First Watch. I was very impressed with the food on my first visit, but this second visit felt a bit flat. Nothing truly stood out as worthy of a third visit. We ordered a variety of items from their regular and seasonal menu. I was very disappointed with the Parmesan toast. It didn't seem cohesive--just a bunch of dry ingredients on toast that were messy and difficult to eat. Maybe melting the cheese would help. Our favorite item was the Raspberry Ricotta French Toast. The raspberries were fresh, and the French toast was perfectly balanced, sweet, and savory. I must say that it was much easier to be seated this time. We went at 9 am, their peak time, and there wasn't a waitlist. Our server, although she was new, was very attentive to our needs.

    First watch is always a solid breakfast choice while visiting the St. George area. It's definitely a popular one, and it's hard to get a table within a 20 minute wait if you don't join the waitlist - save yourself some time and get on via Yelp before heading over. Interior is nothing special but is always clean and kept. And the "views" on the patio are subpar (unless you like looking at strip malls). However the food, coffee, and fresh pressed juices/concoctions are the reason to come and stay. Portions are filling, but pay mind to taste things before adding syrup or salt as the dishes can lend on either side more heavily. The pea flower lemonade is always a good choice, and any of the other juices will make you feel like you started your day on the best note. We always make sure to stop at First Watch while in town - and so should you!

    Really nice decor and ambiance. Clean and welcoming. Nice restrooms (with changing table). Service was good. Food was fine. Plated beautifully. Just felt like a lot of money for small portions of food that was fine, but not special. Maybe we ordered the wrong things?

The reason for the 3 stars instead of 5 is fully on the service and not the food. We were there 1.5 hours with no wait to get seated, but once seated we waited 15 minutes before the waiter came to check on us. If they had been busy I would have understood but we were one of two tables in the restaurant at that time. Once the waitress came and took our order we waited forever to get our food. I think there was only one person back running the kitchen. The food was really good but considering how long it took to get our drinks and our food I give it 3 stars. The waiter was never around when we needed refills or had questions. I would like to return but I'm hesitant at the moment.

    45+ Minutes in 100° Heat, Passed Over Repeatedly, Then Offered a High-Top for a Toddler…read more Our experience at George's today was so bizarre, frustrating, and poorly handled that I am still trying to understand how a restaurant could treat a family this way. We arrived as a family of three--two adults and our toddler--and were told the wait would be approximately 15-20 minutes. We were added to the waitlist and waited outside in nearly 100-degree heat. While we waited, several parties arrived AFTER us. We know this with certainty because we watched them walk in, add their names to the list, come back outside, and even chatted with some of them while we all waited. Then, one by one, those parties were called inside and seated before us. After the last of them was seated, I finally went inside and asked the front-of-house employee in the pink shirt whether we were even still on the list. She assured me we were and said we were "next." We then waited approximately another 10 minutes. By the time someone finally came for us, our supposed 15-20 minute wait had become 45-46 minutes. And somehow, that wasn't even the most baffling part. We were walked through the restaurant, past multiple empty, standard-height tables, and taken down toward the bar. We passed yet another regular four-seat table there. And then we were offered a high-top table. For two adults and a TODDLER. Our toddler had physically walked into the restaurant with us when we originally put our names on the list. There was never any ambiguity that we had a small child with us. No booster or appropriate toddler seating was offered at this high-top, either. We obviously declined. Expecting a toddler to safely sit at a high-top is not merely impractical--it creates a completely unnecessary fall and safety risk. We were then informed that if we wanted a normal table, we would need to wait another 10-15 minutes. At that point, I was genuinely stunned. We had already waited more than twice the time we were quoted. We had watched parties who arrived after us get seated ahead of us. None of those parties, to our knowledge, were forced to choose between an inappropriate high-top and an additional wait. And we could literally see empty standard tables. When we specifically asked about the empty four-person table near the bar, we were told we couldn't sit there because that server was having a very busy day and it would be another 15-20 minutes before she could take us. So let me understand this: your restaurant allowed a family with a toddler to wait outside in extreme heat for more than 45 minutes, repeatedly seated later-arriving parties ahead of them, finally brought them inside only to offer seating obviously unsuitable for a small child, and then--while empty standard tables were plainly visible--essentially told them to go wait some more? At what point does someone on staff recognize that something has gone badly wrong and attempt to fix it? There was no meaningful apology. No sense of urgency. No empathy. No attempt to problem-solve. No acknowledgment that the original 15-20 minute estimate had turned into 45+ minutes while other guests were seated ahead of us. What makes this experience even more uncomfortable is that we are a mixed-race couple. I cannot say why we were treated differently, and I am not going to make an accusation I cannot prove. But after watching multiple parties who arrived after us be seated before us, only to then be offered uniquely inappropriate seating for our family, I am left questioning why our family was treated differently. Was there some legitimate explanation that was never communicated to us? Was this simply extraordinary incompetence and poor management of the waitlist? Or was there another reason? I genuinely don't know. But the fact that your staff's handling of the situation left us even having to ask that question should concern management. We were patient. We were polite. We waited far longer than we were told we would. We stood outside with our toddler in nearly 100-degree weather and gave your staff every opportunity to make the situation right. Instead, we were met with indifference and a level of front-of-house incompetence that was astonishing. Restaurants get busy. Servers get overwhelmed. Wait estimates can be wrong. None of that explains why multiple parties arriving after us were seated first, why no one noticed or corrected it, why a family visibly accompanied by a toddler was offered a high-top, or why--after more than 45 minutes--no one seemed remotely interested in finding a reasonable solution. We ultimately didn't need special treatment. We expected competent treatment. We didn't receive it. Management should seriously review how the waitlist was handled today and speak with the front-of-house staff involved, because this was one of the most poorly managed and deeply uncomfortable restaurant experiences our family has had.
