I don't like dining in because I feel like the service is very spotty. Maybe it's because I look young so they feel I don't tip? But the carry out service is amazing! I order takeout and I always have everything I need! They always include silverware and condiments! Which is something weird to mention? But not every place does this for takeouts and you'd think it's a given! My food was hot also which goes a long way with take outs! I love the food here! Definitely recommend for getting restaurant food and wanting to avoid the crowds! read more

Fall menu begins Monday, August 27th! I am 100% sold and in love with the truffled wild mushroom frittata. This includes roasted shitake and crimini mushrooms. They're cut in perfect little mushroom slices (some places they end up being 'too big' for a good bite or 'too small' to notice, but First Watch has a great balance!) and they were incredibly fresh. They were still mushrooms (again, some places cook them down until they're sad little gray blobs that are unrecognizable). A hint of shallots makes it even better. But let me tell you about the best part--the garlic and herb creme cheese on top. I'm not kidding, I was asking the owner how I could purchase a tub of this creme cheese because it was extraordinary! Creamy, perfectly seasoned, it absolutely MADE the dish. There was also a small portion of lemon dressed arugula on top. Very crisp arugula and the lemon didn't overpower it. There was a piece of ciabatta toast on the side (I broke my diet to eat this, and was glad I did!) as well as seasonal fruit (yum!). Pumpkin pancakes are making their debut on August 27, 2018 and you don't want to miss it! ***They have a special where 10 cents of all of the pumpkin pancake sales go to helping feed hungry children*** Service was wonderful, professional, and the owners were there to answer questions and check in on tables. Overall, I'm so very impressed by this First Watch. I highly, highly recommend them!!! I also appreciate businesses that take time to support causes. I cannot wait to return! read more

Amazing service. Great Covid precautions. Amazing food. Large, menu choice. Will definitely be going back again and again.

If you're going to want to listen to loud music, this is a place for you. However, if you want to converse, eat and enjoy each other's company, forget about it, you'll be drowned out by the obnoxiously loud music. We checked in on Sunday after church about 1 o'clock. We were in the waiting area when I noticed the music was awfully loud. I went to the hostess and sai, do you guys have any control over the volume of the music, because I find it's going to be very difficult to carry out a conversation with the music blaring so loudly. As in with many places, the hostess said corporate controls the volume of the music. and they cannot adjust it in the restaurant. We left. When did it become a thing that SO MANY national restaurant chains think customers go out to eat to hear LOUD music and have taken control of the volume away from the staff in the restaurant in case they get complaints? We won't go back, we won't recommend this First Watch to ANYONE! read more

The breakfast sandwich was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. And it was really nice that they had free coffee while you wait. The service was super friendly and Cidney was just awesome. Thank you! read more

My family has visited six or seven times at all the First Watch restaurants. The food is very good and great presentation BUT... Food is always cold!! When asked to take back to give a little zap in the microwave to same time, they explain to me that they don't have a microwave. ( don't you not keep your warmers on either?) So we give another try at another location and the same scenario.. I am really not understanding why this restaurant can't get it together and serve hot food. We have even asked them when ordering to make sure food is hot before you bring it out to us or we will have to send it back and still comes out cold! At this point we would settle for lukewarm! If we were to order salads will they come out hot! Service is very unpredictable. At times it's great and other times it's a little left to be desired. Please help me understand the issues. read more

What a delicious and great place to eat! The food was fantastic; I had one of the best Benedict's of my life here. The pricing doesn't give you that slight remorse you sometimes get when eating out instead of cooking. Our server was genuinely interested in us as people. Plus he helped escort a little lizard that found its way to the patio to the safety of nature all in good humor. read more

We stopped here passing through on our way home from a trip. The wait was long but it was worth it. The food is so good. The waiter apologized for the long wait and recommended a slower time. It was common for it to be busy at 10 on a Saturday. But the food and staff were great. read more

The service here is great, atmosphere is really awesome. There is free coffee and water to drink when you wait for your table. The food is really delicious and clean and they even had almond milk creamer cups for coffee which I've never seen before!! I had the salmon toast and it was delicious! read more

Finally came here for weekend brunch on a day. The place has been remodeled since being Good Egg, and has nice, modern decor. It's nice that there is a big inside waiting area with comfy seating and free coffee! Luckily there wasn't a huge crowd waiting, which there often is on the weekends, and we were seated after ~15 minutes for the two of us. I had the Elevated Egg Sandwich which came with gruyere cheese and avocado and was delicious. I swapped out the brioche bun for wheat bread just for a healthier choice, and was pleasantly surprised on how good the wheat bread was-- it tasted freshly baked. I did notice my dish was missing potatoes, and when I brought it up to the waiter, he said it was a salad or potatoes so I let it slide since my dish had an arugula salad; but re-reading the menu it definitely was supposed to come with potatoes-- so that was a little annoying that he lied or didn't care enough to check. My fiancee had the Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl which was very tasty as well. read more

We had a one Hour wait after quoted 30 minutes so we left and went to a place that knows what a wait time is. Good luck

We had a wonderful breakfast. Started with a Bloody Mary. My husband had the Hash, I had the breakfast burrito. They both were very good, and the service was excellent. read more

One of the best breakfast in town! Doesn't have such a hillbilly or conservative vibe like most places for breakfast in town, fair prices, healthy options, and pride of presentation and quality! Real maple syrup is available!! Was a bit disappointed it seems they used water to make the oat meal! Milk or cream is so much better!! read more

So delicious. Great service. Please don't change a thing! Fresh and healthy alternatives. Update. Came twice now since first review. Both of the times were bad. Cold food. Overlooked eggs. No sausage? Cold soggy waffle. Guess I'm done here read more

This is my new favorite breakfast place. I've been to multiple locations & the food is always amazing! The servers are great too!! I'm definitely going to continue coming here & trying more things on their menu. read more

Came in at 9:10am. Ordered the Biscuits & Gravy that comes with 2 eggs & potatoes. The order came to the table with wrongly made eggs twice(both over easy, asked for medium). Biscuits & Gravy was cold. Decided to change the order to a salad, It is now 10:27am and I am still waiting on the salad. Disappointing. Manager did come out in the end though to apologize so that was a plus. read more

The service is really bad. We called 1 hr before and still made us wait. I will never go here again. Rude and mean. I have never had someone in the service industry not even try to smile. And it's not just one but them all. Save your money. Go buy eggs at frys and make your own food ....... read more

They couldn't handle the day after Christmas. Waited 50mins past my pickup time to get a a small cup of fruit and a beverage. "Just waiting on toast" for 15 mins. The kid with the tattoo behind his ear disappeared for 10+ mins after going to check on my order. Tried to cancel my order but I could get my money back, the. My food magically appears. When I got to my car I had no utensils so I went back and had to find them by myself up front in a random drawer. Lost my appetite. Oh and it was not worth the $18 not even close. read more

First time back since good egg turned into first watch. I think I like the good egg better. I received one of those flyers in the mail for buy one meal get one free so the cheapskate in me went to check out the place with the fam after church. It was crowded with a 20 minute wait. My husband has never been to good egg or first watch and after perusing the menu told me we should have just gone across the street to Denny's. He said nothing on the menu really jumped out at him. I would have to agree minus the Denny's part. I really am not into the Denny's atmosphere... Older son agrees as well. My other youngers don't know any better so they have no comment. We ordered the following food: Fresh oj- taste like fresh oj Lemonade- nasty like most places (why do most restaurant lemonade stink? Pink lemonade- no comment. My daughter had it and with little kids, anything with sugar is good Bacon Benedict- husband rates this as below average Turkey sausage and biscuit- tasty for turkey sausage gravy. Leaves that funky "turkey aftertaste " if you know what I mean. It might be bc I am not a huge turkey fan Roast beef havarti - my son rates this a 4/10 Trifecta - "normal" Kids crepe- my daughter rates this as good Kids chocolate pancakes- 3 year old rates this as good but I think it's the abundance of chocolate chips that won her over Coffee: kind of dark and I would rank it a 6/7 as far as quality of taste Service was poor. I got the same server I got the last time I was here. She was not so good this time. But maybe bc it was busy. Overall service which includes food runners , was poor. They brought us the wrong Benedict (ham vs bacon). I poured coffee into my cup and realizing there was no regular creamer asked for some. It took my server awhile and my coffee got cold. And overall time of service. Would not be in a hurry to return. It would not be because of the service which I understand (it's busy) but bc the food is not that good. I guess husband was right after all. Should have walked across the street to Denny's read more

This is by far one of the best breakfast places in town. Their seasonal special menus are always delicious. They are always consistent in delivering quality sr ice and food. Try the million dollar bacon - you can not go wrong. The coffee is good too! read more

This place is AWESOME! The food is locally grown and absolutely delicious! This was our first time dining here, Sam was our server and he did a great job of making recommendations and explaining the menu!

Very impressed with the menu selection. The staff is very well trained and Carrie made us feel very welcome. This is my new breakfast spot!

EXCELLENT service & food! Our server Victoria was very accommodating. My partner and I will definitely be returning :)

Had hair in food so that's not great BARF but only found black curly hair once out of maybe 15x of being there I'm just real hesitant now because that's really gross it was in the potatoes read more

Great food, definitely remember to join the waiting list online. Savannah was a great waitress if you are lucky enough to get seated in her section. Thank you, Savannah! read more

What a beautiful Sunday got invited to go eat at First Watch Oro Valley with friends after church. Tiffanie had our drinks right away...she was a delight to have as our server...the food was amazing would definitely come back. read more

Superior breakfast but it is pricey here. We have been here 3x and each breakfast was excellent. Specialty fruit drinks are excellent. Multigrain pancakes super. Bacon is tasty. Large crowds but fast turnover. Breakfast for 2 is gonna be upper $20's with top. Highly recommend. read more

First time trying out First Watch in the old location of the Good egg and it definitely filled their shoes and some. The food came out quick was extremely delicious. I had The works omelette and my grandfather had the Trifecta breakfast with a waffle. The service was awesome here, probably some of the best I've experienced in a long time. We were seated right away and provided our drinks. The menu has a great selection that has something for everyone especially when you're picky like my grandfather. The seasonal menu is also a nice touch. I will definitely be going back with other friends and family to try the rest of their menu. read more

This place is popping! Always crowded with hungry people. I recommend placing yourself in waitlist through yelp on your way to the place. Healthy choices available like turkey burger and avocado toasts. Recommend this place for a refreshing brunch after workout. No alcoholic beverage available so no mimosa. But they have a list of fresh juice available. Bacon is definitely worth trying if you never had a caramelized bacon. It seems to be their signature menu. read more

Second First Watch visit this trip to Arizona, first time was in Phoenix for lunch) today was breakfast. Absolutely can't have a bad meal here, I had the Million Dollar Bacon and French Toast which did NOT disappoint. For lunch I ordered a chopped salad with chicken and I wanted to lick the bowl clean! read more

Great choices for breakfast and they are priced perfectly. Always recommend! The new location on Irvington has great servers too!

Overpriced, limited menu, and service was terrible. I had to leave my table and ask someone for butter for my pancakes (that were dry) because my waitress wasn't available and attentive. I guess one is paying for the "Ambiance". I would prefer better tasting coffee and food for less. read more

First Watch on River Rd has terrible service. After putting our name in for seating, and waiting a half hour watching everyone who came in after being seated, we were told our name got dropped off the list for some reason. Unacceptable read more

Service wasn't that well we waited at the table for about 25 minutes just with her drinks before our order was taken

I went here while waiting for my car to finish it's service at the car dealership down the road. I ordered the seasonal pancakes, the pumpkin spice (no shame), and they were okay but they didn't really taste like pumpkin spice. I also tried some of their freshly squeezed juices, the ginger one, and it is really tasty but its ridiculous that you cannot get free refills especially considering how much you spend for just the one tiny glass. I would not go out of my way to go here, only when someone is working on my car. read more

The food is amazing. Prepared from fresh organic ingredients and delivered by a staff of pleasant and enthusiastic souls whose clear pursuit of excellence is apparent at every step of the way. My server Melissa could not have been more delightful. Kayla at the cashier's post put a smile on my face with her lovely charm and disposition. If you are looking for an outstanding meal, loving professional service with very friendly prices then you must try First Watch. read more

This place is great!! Skyler was especially sweet and wonderful. She's an incredible asset to this establishment! Can't wait to come back!

Food was super good! Healthy and tasty!!! I got full with only salad:) They did great service!

I love the first watch on Broadway. They are fast, efficient, and you're not waiting 30 min for Your food. I even signed up for their "wait less" app...kinda disappointed when I'm told 2 parties are ahead and it's actually 7 parties. Especially when there are 6 open tables that are just sitting their dirty. Shame, I really enjoy first watch usually. read more
