I am writing this review out of complete frustration and disgust with the experience I had at First Watch. I have placed two separate orders since this restaurant opened at the new Prasada shopping center. Both were an utter disaster from start to finish. The food we received was low-quality, poorly prepared, and absolutely not worth the inflated prices we were charged. For a place that prides itself on "fresh ingredients" and "quality meals," this was a joke. The portions were laughably small, and the meals looked -- and tasted -- like they had been slapped together without any care or attention. To make matters worse, the restaurant staff was indifferent and completely unhelpful. The service was just as disappointing as the food. I don't typically write reviews, but this experience was so unacceptable that I felt obligated to warn others. I left feeling ripped off and incredibly disappointed. Safe to say, I will never be returning -- and I suggest others think twice before spending their money here. First Watch has officially lost my business. read more

Not bad at all. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. I was going to order the traditional breakfast but i asked our server if the potatoes had onions and they did. They were not able to make them without onions so I ordered something else. The lemon ricotta pancakes were alright. I expected more ricotta but i think it was mixed with lemon curds. But I didnt hate it. The drinks were good. The Lavender lemonade was delicious. The wake up watermelon was good too but The lavender Lemonade was better! read more

Great service. Good food. Put yourself on the waitlist before arriving is my recommendation. Great atmosphere. read more

The waitress was anazinf with our two boys (3yo/1.5yo). Sweet understanding. And accommodating to needs and wants. A go to. Not too busy and made us feel welcomed! Come here for a great experience 10/10!!! read more

The food is outstanding! I've been there four times already since it's opened and have tried different dishes each time. Very fresh and quality is excellent. read more

It's loud and the food is not that great. Servers do not know the difference between black and green tea. That was second time there. I wouldn't go back. read more

Came in at 7:45 on a Sunday. Hostess was kind and welcoming and sat us at a booth because we had a toddler. The hostess verbally confirmed with the server that we were being sat in her area and we were immediately ignored. Took 10+ minutes for the bartender to assist us with drinks and food. Wrapped utensils had food stuck on them. Food came out lukewarm and my son's pancake came out late and was raw in the center. Bartender was so kind but it's very frustrating to see others sat and immediately serviced. Just felt like the server didn't want to deal with us because we had a toddler. Very disappointing. Will not be returning. read more

This was our first visit, and it was fantastic! The atmosphere and the service were both wonderful. I ordered The Works omelette with potatoes on the side. The omelette was outstanding--packed with filling, not greasy at all, and the portion size was perfect, especially considering the price. My husband had the eggs Benedict, and he absolutely loved it! The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the fresh fruit he received was truly fresh and delicious. For dessert, we tried the donut holes, which were divine! They came with two delightful dipping sauces--chocolate and raspberry. We'll definitely be back! read more

We had such a great experience there today. Our servers name was Jayy and he was just the most pleasant and helpful human. Excellent food. Awesome atmosphere. Highly recommend. A+++ read more

This location is poorly managed. We love First Watch and was so excited this location opened because it is so close to our house but the three different times we visited, we have had nothing but issues. Thier online "waitlist" option is a joke. Everytime we join the waitlist, we will show up 30 minutes after we sign up and when we checkin they tell us it is going to be 45 minutes to an hour. One time we waited an 1.5 to be seated and then another 20 minutes to be greeted by our server and then another hour to get our food. So disappointing, I really hope they figure out how to run this place. read more

The service is very good. Ambiance is ok, a little too small and crowed for my taste. Food is very good. Great menu for breakfast. I will definitely return again. read more

Eggs Benedict, Food was cold, eggs partially cooked and cold. Won't be back for a Benedict. read more

This is a review as a DoorDash only. Compared to other restaurants and I can attest to almost 15,000 deliveries in the last five years, this restaurant is one of the worst to pick up from because not only are they always extremely slow and you wait a bit, but they will not check on your order, unless you continuously pester them about it. You walk in and they say they'll just bring the order up when it's done if that means DoorDash don't want to wait. I wish this restaurant would just accommodate drivers a little bit more by checking on the order to give them an ETA and without this, I will no longer deliver from this restaurant and I've spoken to the drivers that feel exactly the same. Good luck with your business. read more

Now this is my favorite place for breakfast and the drinks are amazing, the purser lavender drink is great even though it's seasonal

Thought it was pretty good. I had the eggs benedict which were excellent with sliced ham and a tomato. Breakfast potatoes very good also. Good service and reasonable prices. Would go back. read more

Welcome to Prasada First Watch!! (Strange name) My wife and I wanted to try out this new breakfast place...so without further ado, here is my review: Food: Excellent!!!! I ordered the 2 eggs sunny side up with bacon and potatoes. My dish was prepared in a tasty dish and just the right amount. My wife ordered the scrambled eggs with bacon and potatoes. She is a PICKY eater and if it passed her taste test then it's good. It DID!! Service: Excellent service EVERYBODY was kind and attentive. We did not wait too long to get seated or served. Ambience: Again, excellent old country look but not ratty looking like Cracker Barrel LOL. The tables were man made stone, sturdy and firm. Seats were comfy. Art work was pleasant to the eyes. Price: Well... like everywhere else, don't expect low prices, but we got a First Time gift from the sever. YES, we will come back again and again!!! read more

This was my first time and being a GM in the restaurant industry, I was very impressed! I find many places struggle with operating a great brunch and generally I am leaving a place not grumpy but not amazed either. Host got us sat very quickly after a miscommunication with my bad phone service. Very professional and helpful! Aiden was a phenomenal server and was mindful of the two babies we had. A 6th star if I could for that! Tacos were absolutely phenomenal as well as the coffee we were started with! Will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a surprisingly fantastic brunch experience!!! read more

Very delicious. Pancakes are the best! So happy they are in surprise! Will be back. ....

My family and I love First Watch! We recently (1/12/25) ate at the First Watch in Surprise, AZ. We arrived at 10:30am but had to wait to be seated until 11:30am. First Watch was slammed. (with good reason) The hostesses were excellent and had great attitudes in the midst of an onslaught of people wanting to breakfast/brunch. Once seated, our server was Leah, who provided excellent service. The meals that my family ordered were all cooked properly and arrived at the right temperatures. The food was both delicious and nutritious. Plating was great and very appetizing. For the price and the quality of the food First Watch is our "go to". We ate at First Watch twice in this week and we were very satisfied with both the food and the service. Thanks First Watch for providing great food, a clean and neat atmosphere, and professional service! read more

Liked it very much presents a different healthy meal I recommend you give it a it has to be good always busy to prepare to wait

Great food & service has always been good. We have never had to wait very long to get in.

Service was excellent . My bacon cheese omelet was a big disappointment. Tasted made ahead and nuked. It was a flat omelet with a small amount of cheese inside, good amount of bacon. Honestly was like the kind of eggs at a hotel, ugh . Won't order that again. Tomato soup was great. Potatoes and coffee were excellent. read more

Been here several times and have had a good experience. That last two times here, it's been rough. Food doesn't come out together. Had to wait 5 minutes for pancakes for my daughter to arrive. Just seems silly that the whole order isn't up together. Also, I never receive refills on my drinks. Even asked for an iced tea to go and two times I didn't receive it. Just completely forgotten. And this last time, the water jug they bring and set on your table had food stuck to the inside of it. Just missing on several levels for the cost of food and so many other options. Highly doubt I'll be back. Was looking forward to this being in the neighborhood too. read more

Great food and service. I love their seasonal menu I also love their healthy choices.

Went on a Sunday & very Crowded but our waitress Simone was super helpful-she recommened her faves. Our breakfast was fresh. Was happy to try this Restaurant. Will be back during the week! read more

Excellent food, service was superb, and the ambience was great. We really enjoyed the Eggs Benedict and the potatoes were to die for! Really looking forward to trying lunch next time! Happy to have a great breakfast place at this end of the valley. read more

Amazing spot! Great food and friendly staff. We heard rave reviews from multiple people so we went and checked it out! This place does not disappoint! Our new favorite breakfast spot!!!!! read more

I have eaten at many First Watch in multiple states and this particular First Watch has been the worst. Ordered a Pineapple Express juice and they didn't have the mint sugar rim, ordered a Morning meditation drink and it never came. We ordered the million dollar bacon and they didn't have it but they did have regular bacon...how does that work? My wife's waffle was bland and under cooked. My traditional breakfast came with potatoes that were scorched on one side as if they were forgotten on the flat top, my scrambled eggs were severely overcooked and seemed like a smaller portion than before. At checkout the person asked how everything was and I stated alright and explained the situation. They stated I should have told my server but I expect more from First Watch and it should have been done right the first time. Corporate needs to assess the management at this place and get this ship back on the right course. We were there 5/24/2025 around 7:05am. read more

Needs a better manager who can handle a rush. They choose to turn off their phones and online orders due to a manager who can't properly oversee its staff. Extremely poor business model. read more

The service was horrendous! We had to wait for an hour and 20 minutes! That's after they said the wait should only be 40 minutes. When we finally got seated, the restaurant was practically empty. But that didn't help our server from walking by without checking in on us at all. We had to flag her down to get refills on our drinks. Then when we lined up to pay, the tone of the cashier was impatient and rude. The food was below average. The broccoli & cheese soup tastes like it comes straight out from a can. The salads came without any dressings. We had to ask for it. The ambiance was crowded and extremely noisy. The atmosphere feels sterile and claustrophobic. The longest wait and the worst dining experience ever! Definitely not coming back! Need to improve on clarifying reservations, front service needs to improve on their attitudes, and the foods needs to be freshly made. read more

Clean, Delicious, healthy and excellent customer service!! Reasonable for the quality of the food. Kimberly was our server. She was efficient and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

I love first watch! When I saw they opened one near me I was estatic. One of my top favorite breakfast spots to go to!

First time here and everything was very good! Service was excellent. Environment not so hectic, very calm. read more

Tried ordering online for take out, went through the whole payment process for it to tell me online ordering was down, we show up to place the order in person for take out and find out 20 mins later they forget to put in our order, then proceed to take another 30 mins to get our food to us. We witnessed someone who entered the restaurant with us, walk in, sit down, eat and pay all before we got our take out order. Would 100% not recommend this restaurant. Gives all the good first watch restaurants in Peoria a bad name.. if you really want first watch make the drive to Peoria. read more

Good food, great service and good prices all things needed for a pleasant meal. First Watch does breakfast/brunch RIGHT.

Amber in Surprise is an excellent server. Very attentive and food and drinks were brought in a timely manner. Thanks, Amber!
