Enjoy breakfast with my daughter today. Happy restaurants are open for inside dining. Daughter tried the new Purple Haze drink, very yummy. Daughters got the trifecta with scrambled eggs (looked a little like they scramble in the pan, not with milk and whisk) waffle with crispy edges and turkey sausages she loved it all. I thought I would try something different. I got the eggs Benedict, original with ham no tomato. It was served on ciabatta. I had to send back because the poached eggs were overdone, yolks were cooked. They were very quick to bring me another plate, even replacing the potatoes. The sprinkle with arugula, not a fan so I removed and not quite enough hollandaise for my taste but it was very yummy. I had a side of pork sausage links (2 large pieces) it didn't come with toast I guess cause it's on ciabatta. There was plenty of ham not Canadian bacon. It was good but not sure if I'd order again only cause I like to try different things. But I'm glad I tried it. read more

My husband still talks about the banana nut pancakes. They were pretty phenomenal. I had the avocado toast because I'm somewhat basic. Everything was fresh and tasted homemade so we will be back for sure! read more

I got the Superfood Bowl and it was alright. Personal taste, it wasn't amazing, but it was alright. Fruit looked fresh and tasted fresh too! YUM! Food was warm and ready to eat. Bread wasn't toasted. I thought it was supposed to be toasted, but I will speak up next time and request that my bread be toasted. Unfortunately, hair was in my bread. I have blonde hair and black hair was present in my food. Seeing hair in my food makes me jump! oof ew ew ew. read more

Perfection. Coryne Childers is the best waitress. Professional, prompt, kind. She makes sure her customers are happy, and food is prepared to your liking. It's nice to see a smile (through a mask) She takes all Covid responsibilities to perfection. Thank you, for making our meal perfect. Coffee to go also. Must visit Coryne, she's the best. read more

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Oh. My. Goodness. LESS THAN ZERO STARS!!!!! All the delicious food places you can get an amazing breakfast around and we came here. I had heard good things! Our waitress was a sweetheart but my husband ordered an omelet that was supposed to have chorizo and stuff. It was half empty. Way too little ingredients for the price. And it's was just ok. I ordered the special barrbicoaquesadillas special. They cannot make poavhed eggs. I specifically said do not over cook the yolks but make sure the whites are hard. I had a feeling. It's a chain restaurant. I won't be back. Now waiting to replace the order. My husband has been done with his meal for quite some time. It's been far too long. Coffee is just ok. Flavored creamers is the best thing this place has going for it. Smh I suggest Leandos or Pancake Factory, both mom and pop restaurants that rock in the area! read more

So our first choice for breakfast was closed so we went here. Healthy choice based menu, outstanding food. When we were there the dining room was mostly empty but the carry out desk never slowed. I had eggs (free range) potatoes and turkey sausage gravy and biscuits-what a great biscuit. The wife had blueberry pancakes, she loved them. She ordered two but they are huge and she could only eat one. They have a juice bar but we didn't try, the downside was the coffee. I know they have a special charitable coffee supplier but I didn't care for it. read more

This is really a review of two visits. Last week we order to-go food at the counter and it was pretty good except for the fact that they never handed me my bag and I sat there for about 15 minutes as they placed it on the door dash shelf. Calling in a to-go order is not an option and the prices weren't the same in the restaurant as the website. This week we ordered the same order but did not get the same thing as last week. One sandwich was missing the condiment, the Chicken Avocado Chop Salad had no chicken and there was something off about the tomato soup. One bowl was barely half full. Nor was the food the same as listed on the menu. My Market Veggie sandwich had lettuce, not spinach, but it was still good. And then they did the same thing again where they put my order on the doordash shelf, but luckily I was paying attention. Food good, front desk service no good; probably better to eat it there. read more

Terribly disappointed with the chorizo omelette. It was all eggs, couple slices of avocado and slices of onions. Kept digging and looking for chorizo but none. Didn't mind the long wait but disappointed when food arrived read more

Hello I went to First Watch for the second time. This time I came with my wife who was skeptical. We both placed our orders and when the food came out before the waitress left our table, I noticed green sauce smudges on my plate. No big deal, the waitress thought it might be an avocado sauce... but nothing I ordered had any of that type of sauce or anything like that. I had scrambled eggs, chicken sausage and a waffle. So she took my plate and I thought she was doing to remake my order until she came back in 2 minutes and I asked did they remake the order and she said no, "they just transferred the food to a clean plate". I was livid, and told her I don't eat food that was once on a dirty plate and asked to speak to a manager. The waitress, whose name I believe was Becky or something like that went to get the manager and remake my meal. I always get nervous when I have to send food back. The waitress returns and says the manager is busy cooking and can't come see me, for about 15-20 minutes. I say just cancel my order. My wife finished her food and enjoyed it. The waitress did not charge us, but I am still upset that this happened period and the manager could not even come out to address us. He never showed after waiting more than 20 minutes. I won't be back! read more

Great service, great food, good value. One of my new favorites for breakfast, brunch, lunch!

I was having a very tough morning I had just lost my father. My server Coryne was so kind and sweet and her smile alone made my day! Ask for her she's amazing! read more

I'll definitely be back. The food and the atmosphere was great. It was clear each thing was cooked to order. I had the Chikichanga, and it was really tasty. My boyfriend had the Pumpkin Pancakes and they were very good. Tasted like pumpkin without being cloying. Also, try the million-dollar bacon. It's killer. Sadly, my food was a little cold when it came out, but it was still very tasty. I do wish the server had made it clear that when we got the check we needed to pay at the door. It was a busy morning, and I would have loved to have made sure that they got a chance to turn that table faster. She dropped the check off and we didn't see her again for 20 minutes. Overall though, a great experience. read more

My First Watch breakfast was fresh, delicious, and healthy. My first time eating here, but definitely not my last. The service was excellent as well. I had carrot juice with my FARMHOUSE HASH breakfast and it was a very pleasant surprise, very tasty-good carrot juice. I had energy all day after eating the FARMHOUSE HASH. Next time I will try their MILLION DOLLAR BACON. Their meals look good and taste even better. read more

I tried to reply on Yelp to an employee's reply to my post about everything that went wrong at their restaurant which I already said was the Hall Road location. They should read my post again. No I don't want to email you with my phone number. There isn't anything you can do to make it right. I don't want a refund. I don't want coupons, etc. so there is no reason for me to email you and give you my phone number. No I won't email you to give you the restaurant's location because my post already said the location. My post said what went wrong so I don't need to email you to say what went wrong. I have zero interest in going to your restaurant again. My original post stands. read more

Love the eggs Benedict. I was craving this food and it was exactly what I wanted. Will go back again.

I don't plan on returning. Took forever to be seated, took forever for our order to be taken. People that came in after us got their food first. I ordered the half club sandwich and half salad, it had chicken and pecans, the salad was absolutely disgusting. The pecan, bacon and dressing was a warm gloppy mess, way too salty. I ate the few pieces of chicken and tried scraping everything else off. The sandwich tasted primarily of mayonnaise. They forgot the cheese but it looked gross on my mom's sandwich so I wasn't upset. The avocado looked absolutely awful. Our waitress had an attitude, it seemed like she didn't want to be there, and she couldn't remember who ordered what at the table. My son had a chocolate chip pancake and the chocolate chips were bitter, he wouldn't eat it and I don't blame him. Way way too noisy in the restaurant, it wasn't that busy but I could barely hear my mom sitting across from me! Will not return. read more

Christina was my waitress representative who served my guest and I; in a word she was amazing in every aspect of serving my guest and I. In addition, Jarrod (The Manager) was just as kind and accommodating as Christina. I would definitely dine at this location as they Dot their I'ss and Cross their T's with respect to Customer Service Excellence. read more

I love first watch. It is my favorite place to eat breakfast, I sadly will not return to this location, I normally only go to Shelby, but I was in the area so stopped here. I ordered my juice which took an abnormally long time to get to the table. I ordered my usual, the farmhouse skillet and it tasted off, like they added a ton of salt? It was overwhelming the amount of scrambled eggs they put on top as well. They did not put any avacados either, not sure what is up with this location.. but they are definitely slacking. We ordered sourdough bread and received multigrain on our sandwiches. Server dropped my toast on the table and didn't bother to get me new toast. I'll definitely stick to Shelby only from now on read more

My son and I came here for Mother's Day. The customer service was excellent. My loved his blueberry pancakes. My potatoes were a bit hard

I go to the one on Hayes rd. They are amazing. Super friendly staff. Most of all their meals are FRESH and sooooo tasty! Cocktails are delicious as well. I've not yet had a bad experience here. I typically can not finish a meal in one sitting. Here, my plate is clean. Literally I was getting all the left over sauce up from my plate with a fork. Highly recommend the "chickichanga". It's my go to. read more

Jordan ( Lower Heights/ Just opened) has great energy! She is an excellent host, she is very very personable... 5 star!!

Our first time car First Watch - tip - join the line online - it really speeds up your wait. Really liked it but it's a bit pricey. If you're looking for standard diner breakfast fare, this isn't it. They have an interesting menu with today's popular items: avocado toast, superfoods, ricotta pancakes etc. My husband went for a classic eggs, sausage, potatoes and toast. He enjoyed it - sausage was a bit spicy and the potatoes included onions (which he doesn't like). I went fir the AM superfood bowl which was coconut chai seed pudding with fresh fruit and a piece of multigrain toast with almond butter. I really liked it but would skip the almond butter next time - too thick and I had to take a big drink after every bite. read more

Massively disappointed. The menu was somewhat odd to start with so if you expect standard breakfast fare, this is not the place. The food itself was poorly seasoned - my potatoes tasted like old dishwater and my omelet was not much better. I actually got sick to my stomach from the food 30 minutes later. First watch is last watch. read more

So I decided to try First Watch for a DoorDash breakfast. Right off the bat I saw the menu was kind of strange. Not bad per se, just not what I was expecting. I ordered the trifecta- scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, potatoes and a Belgian waffle. The waffle: absolutely delicious! I'd order that again in a heartbeat! The Turkey sausage: eh not very tasty (needed seasoning) and visually unappealing but edible. For what it is it was just ok. Potatoes: burnt, dry and flavorless. Would definitely skip them. Scrambled eggs: nice presentation but lacking in flavor. They were cooked perfect though (not runny or over done) next time I'll pay extra to add cheese I think that will make them delicious. Overall if you're used to eating natural and organic (I am) then First Watch is a great choice. If you're not into organic you might not love this place. First Watch isn't cheap though. Expect to pay a premium. But you're getting quality food so it's justified to me. read more

Really enjoyed this place! The vanilla chai pancakes were great! The manager talked to everyone making the place feel like home. The staff was so friendly and was great answering questions about the menu. The atmosphere is a modern industrial feel that's a welcome switch from the normal. read more

We had our Grand Opening for the newest 5/3 Bank location at Hall & Schoenherr. First Watch catered our event and did a PHENOMENAL job!!! The food was individually packaged with care. The taste was amazing. We can't wait to have more great meals from this team. Thank you First Watch!!! read more

Don't waste your time. "Healthy" foods that cost more than your car payment. If you want to eat healthy, go to the grocery store and buy healthy foods to cook yourself. You'll leave without any money, still be hungry, and wondering when the rest of your food is coming. read more

My friends and I just went for brunch here and we had the absolute best time! The service was amazing and staff was even better. Josh the manager was great walking around and checking in on our meals. You could really tell he cares about his guests and the business. We will definitely be back :) Thank you First Watch Sterling Heights! read more

Excellent service. AMAZING food. Good energy. Highly recommend this place.!!!!!!!!!!!

Waste of money and time. I tried calling and ordering on line and it took forever. Went and pick up my order. No fruit cup and soup in my bag that I clearly paid for. Everything was cold. Asked for no onions and it has tons. Don't waste your money on million dollar back. Got only 3 pieces for $5.49. Waste of a morning breakfast, time and money. Would not recommend. Tried serval times calling to get order straight or refund for the items I didn't receive and no answer. Shame. read more

I've been a fan of First Watch for a while, starting with their Shelby Township location and now the Sterling Heights location. Food is above average and they deliver a great atmosphere. However, this last visit was disappointing. Most of the staff were wearing their masks improperly, pulled down off their nose. The staff had very little regard to the safety of their customers. I will not be coming back until after the pandemic is over. read more
