    Chickichanga with an upgrade on the seasoned potatoes to million dollar potatoes. Superb!!!
    Macy M.

    Amazing customer service and OMG the dishes we got were soooooo good. Of course I had my sweet tea with lemon because I'm a southern gal (by the way, it was super fresh and yummy)! Anyway, a must try location because you won't regret it.

    Honey Caramel Crunch and Mint Mocha

    Ambience and service, no problems. But at this location, I was served possibly the most unsatisfying Classic Eggs Benedict ever. The bread was hard and chewy. One out of two eggs was a dangerous minute or two away from becoming a hard-boiled egg. The hollandaise sauce was runny. And to make it worse, the seasoned potato side was mostly dried out potatoes. The iced coffees were the best part of the meal. And even then, they were slightly too sweet. I don't think I'll be revisiting this location.

    Always nice staff here so that's a plus! I would say food size has really decreased in the years and not very try consistent among teller other locations. You want to feel like you get your moneys worth and I didn't feel like that in the last couple visits. Food is decent and million Dallas bacon is the highlight.

    On Saturday morning, we had breakfast at First Watch, one of our favorite restaurant chains. We had breakfast at First Watch before. The restaurant boasts a spacious parking lot with ample parking spaces. However, during peak hours, we had to endure a brief wait of approximately 5-10 minutes before being seated at our table. Nonetheless, the restaurant's ambiance exudes a pleasant and positive atmosphere. Upon arrival, Tori, our server, greeted us warmly and provided us with menus and water. After perusing the drink options, we decided on the Kale Tonic and Mint Mocha Iced Coffee. For breakfast, we ordered the Chickichanga with a side of toast and Fritta Rustica. Our drinks arrived promptly, and the Kale Tonic was a delightful and healthy way to begin the day. The Mint Mocha Iced Coffee was delicious, although a bit sweet for our taste. We had to wait around 15-20 minutes before our breakfast plates were served. Initially, we had the scrumptious Chickichanga which had been cooked perfectly and made for a great breakfast dish. Following that, we tried the Fritta Rustica which was also fantastic, with a delicious and impressive omelette. Our weekend got off to a great start with a delicious breakfast that we thoroughly enjoyed.

    Carrot Cake/Pecan Pancake

    Pros: Food quality- I ordered my standard 2 pancakes and they were equivalent to the Fowler location in terms of size, taste, and freshness. Speed: I was placed at a table quickly, and I got my food and bill pretty quickly. Cons The table was not thoroughly wiped down. There was syrup in a few spots on the table. Also, the creamer container was almost empty and there was no attempt to refill it. Normally, I wouldn't care, but since I ordered coffee, I was dismayed. I did not get a carafe of tap water which they usually do at Fowler without asking. Misc: The building has vaulted ceilings which differentiates it from other FW. It seems to exacerbate the noise levels due to the wood floors though. At 75% capacity, it sounded louder than you would think. Overall: A good First Watch experience with some hiccups

    Open 7 AM till 2:30 PM daily, this is one of the few chain restaurants I don't have to be dragged to! Any First Watch you visit offers FRESH, HIGH QUALITY INGREDIENTS. That's why I like First Watch. It exceeds most others in taste. The menu is eclectic & the service is generally standard. I've never had less than very good service @ any location-- & there are 445 locations throughout 28 states! Our waitress Saphia was spot-on-- thank you:) Whether you want vegetarian, vegan, or Gluten-free dishes, you'll find them here. (Ask your server for info on vegan modifications.) There is always a SEASONAL MENU. Three Fall menu food examples would be the Butternut Squash Bisque, Brisket Corned Beef Hash, & Caramel Crunch Cinnamon Roll. SEE MENU PIC. Do sign up online to receive emails that will update you on new menu items. One of my favorite daily offerings is the thick-sliced, grain bread baked locally; it is EXCELLENT. (Buy a loaf to take home:) There are recyclable containers for any leftovers you wish to take along. This location opened in early April 2021. It's a smaller building, yet it still lacks the customers the one on Bruce B. Downs near County Line Road enjoys. Due to that fact, you need not worry about a long wait. Of course, patrons may phone ahead to hold their place in line. We arrived @ 9:30 AM on Labor Day & were seated immediately. (The restaurant was never @ full capacity during our visit.) ON THE REGULAR MENU, you'll find these CATEGORIES: Classic Favorites, Seasonal, Juice Bar, The Healthier Side, Egg-sclusives, Omelets & Fritattas, From the Griddle, Power Bowls, Salads, Sandwiches, Kids, & Sides and Beverages. Not even the "Classic Favorites" are truly traditional; there's a CREATIVITY here that is lacking @ most restaurants, especially chains. Our three breakfast entrees were all EXCELLENT. Our entrees included The $11.99 Elevated Egg w/ seasoned potatoes, Avocado Toast (w/ eggs) @ $11.79, & The Works (Omelet) @ $12.29. The $2.99 loaded Blueberry Muffin (that I requested grilled) was also EXCELLENT. See pics! Unfortunately, the ACOUSTICS were not excellent. This was the loudest First Watch I've visited! It was uncomfortable holding a quality conversation w/ friends. (The noise level will likely keep me away; I'd rather sit & wait for a table @ another First Watch location than have my ears bombarded w/ loud noises.) MORE INSULATION, PLEASE! However, there is a front, covered patio (see pics); on good weather days, it may be preferable. Gift cards are available @ every location & online. There's also a hardcover First Watch recipe book available @ the check-in counter (& online). Delivery is also available-- Uber Eats, DOORDASH, & Google. FIRST WATCH TRIVIA, ANYONE? The restaurant welcomes "each season into the First Watch menu with ingredients and flavors inspired by the sun." In other words, foods/ ingredients on the menu are purchased from where they grow best during different times of the year. Will I return? -- ALWAYS, but to other First Watch locations where I can better converse with the people in my party. But don't let my opinion stop you-- definitely give this new location a try, especially if you dont want to wait for a table.

    Million Dollar Bacon
    Iyona H.

    My husband and I have been coming here consistently for the last 3 months. At least 2/3 times a month for breakfast. My husband's favorite breakfast spot! We have yet to have a bad experience. Our servers are always attentive. The food it always good. Our food always come out quickly. One time I forgot to tell my server I wanted egg whites for my omelette. I ran to the back where she was and asked to be changed. She was more than happy to make the change- even said it was no problem. I'm sure the kitchen had already started with my order. The Million Dollar bacon is a MUST! The works omelette is great! Not a fan of their house jam. Potatoes are tasty. We also had the

    Cold bacon then burnt bacon

    I normally love First Watch but if this was my first time eating there I would never go back. I was there about a week ago on a Friday at about 1130-12. I ordered the traditional breakfast, as that's my go to and got a fruit bowl instead of eggs since I don't eat eggs, the fruit they brought me looked like it was for a little kid. It wasn't their normal mixed fruit it was just chopped up strawberries and bananas. I also ordered bacon with my breakfast and asked for it crispy. First they brought me sausage and I told the lady it was supposed to be crispy bacon, she then brings me out bacon that was barely cooked and was literally cold. So I asked once again for crispy bacon, the waitress then brings out burnt bacon that looks like it was cooked in the microwave. When she brought me the bacon she said I know it's burnt I'm sorry. The bacon wasn't even edible, it tasted burnt. Needless to say I was over it at this point and just returned the whole meal. The only right thing they had with my order was the morning mediation juice I ordered. There was no excuse for my bacon to first be cold and then overcooked and burnt, it should've never been served, I would be embarrassed to even bring that out to someone. If I could give this visit zero stars I would. This picture doesn't even do it justice how bad both the bacons they brought me were.

    Good morning everyone Sunday for me is breakfast and I like to make a big deal of it LOL period growing up in New York City with no money my mom would always make a huge breakfast for the family . I decided I wanted something rich and decadent and I've been to this first watch many times I know the menu inside and out, but today I tried this thing they have called chickenchanga. It hits the spot . Perfect size the sauce they have I believe is called Veracruz sauce delicious with a little bit of spice if you can deal with it. With some rustic potatoes which were okay but the main focus was the wrap and a side of fruits. The acid of the fruit helped. Make sure to ask for a sharper knife as you would need to cut through the wrap makes it easier to eat it. Again very live surroundings kinda loud if you're okay with that. Let me know what you guys think?

Located next to where The Hummingbird Jerkhouse used to be, this hidden gem delivers an experience far beyond a great meal. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere stood out. The restaurant was impeccably clean, warm, inviting, and carried the kind of genuine Italian charm that immediately makes you feel welcome. The service was simply exceptional- attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest has a memorable experience. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish tasted fresh, authentic, and thoughtfully prepared, showcasing flavors that transported us straight to Italy. What truly elevated the afternoon, however, was the chef personally coming to our table to discuss the menu, ingredients, and inspirations behind the dishes. That level of hospitality and pride in the food transformed a great dinner into an unforgettable experience. In a city filled with dining options, it's rare to find a place that excels in every category--food, service, atmosphere, and genuine hospitality but this restaurant accomplishes exactly that. Tampa locals who appreciate authentic Italian cuisine owe it to themselves to visit. Whether you're planning a date night, family dinner, or simply craving a truly remarkable meal, this place should be at the top of your list. Hidden gem? Absolutely. Worth the visit? Without question. We'll be back again and again!

Every dish we tried was outstanding, starting with a fresh and flavorful caprese salad made with creamy, high-quality mozzarella. The linguine with clams was truly the best we've had--perfectly cooked pasta with tender, local clams and incredible depth of flavor. The pasta Carbonara was exceptional and transported us straight to Rome; rich, authentic, and flawlessly balanced. Chef Luca prepared every dish to perfection, clearly using the freshest ingredients and a true passion for Italian cuisine. What began as a quick tasting turned into a full New Year's lunch celebration once we discovered their impressive selection of Italian beers--each one delicious and thoughtfully curated. The entire experience was amazing, from the food to the atmosphere. Authentic, memorable, and absolutely worth returning for.

A bartender greeted me and gave me water. For my drink, I took the chocolate old fashioned (13 dollars). It was strong enough and chocolatly to enjoy. For my main plate, I chose the chicken wings (10 for 17 dollars), half fat rabbit sauce (quite garlicky) and other half siracha. While the wings were not breaded, they were still fried. It was definitely crispy, but still meaty and tender. The sauces were flavorful, and the siracha had the right amount of heat. The ranch dressing was homemade and so good, I ended up drinking it. There could have been more celery, but it was fresh and crispy. They only had one dessert, and unfortunately it wasn't homemade, so I passed. My bartender was friendly, but busy. She had a helper, but lots of patrons to serve. Yet, she was still very nice and helpful when needed. The vibe is social and casual. I would have thought they would have more USF students, but mostly locals who are enjoying a good atmosphere. Outdoor seating is available as well, and it looks like you can bring your pooch too. When it was time to check out and pay, I noticed they forgot to charge me for my drink. When I mentioned that, they told me not to worry about it. It was a very nice gesture from them. Parking here is easy as it is located in the Publix complex. There is also a Don Julio's and Bundt Cakes nearby for dessert too. The Fat Rabbit pub provides great casual bar food in a social atmosphere. The indoor dining is large enough to feel comfortable, and outdoor seating is also there if you want to enjoy with your dog. I am glad I chose this place again as it was near my hotel. Definitely coming back for more great bar food at reasonable prices. Overall: A

The meat was a major let down as it was very fatty and I had a bite of gristle on the first one. Not good. The salad was good, loved the crunchy things they put on it and the ranch was really good too. The alcoholic beverage was not great. It was super sweet and did not have much kick. The kids meals looked good, we got one for 99 cents but apparently wings do not count as an adult meal so we paid in full for the other (it was not super pricey, which is good). However, this place is just okay... There are many other great locations around that sadly blow this place out of the water.
