First watch it's just one of several restaurants that have taken on a different business model for the concept of breakfast. Where once the choices for a place with breakfast was kind of limited to diners, First Watch and similar restaurants are offering a somewhat more upscale version of breakfast. The menu is also a bit more varied then your typical greasy spoon. They also have several more healthy options. I would definitely recommend First Watch as a good spot to grab breakfast. read more

So good I had the best waiter I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and it was so good I loveed it

Excellent food and service! Very quiet and comfortable I had eggs Benedict and the wife had bacon eggs and toast.

On this visit, there were 7 of us. So, that was already daunting for a server. But, the guy did great, took all the drink orders without writing anything down and showed up with everything perfectly! Then, we all ordered. Yes, pen to paper for this. Orders came out great, pretty fast and tasted great. We feel the food is consistent and better than many of the mom and pops. Sorry m and We are from St. Louis and go there often. This First Watch didn't disappoint. It was a great experience. We also like the brightness of the place! Well done First Watch!! read more

I went there for the first time last week and ordered the chicki-changa breakfast. it was really good, but it was missing one ingredient, the eggs. I mentioned this to the server and she said she was sorry, but she would get me some scrambled eggs if I wanted them. I told her no, this was enough food for me for today. I went back this morning and ordered the same thing and mentioned to the server that the last time I was there the cook forgot to put the eggs in it. She brought me my breakfast and the eggs were on the outside of the tortilla, but more in a creamy sauce than just scrambled eggs. Both times the breakfast was really good, but I noticed this time that it was a little heavy on cilantro, but not too much. It was very good and the service was very good, so I will be back. read more

This is a chain but food is good, not the biggest portions but tasty and staff attentive. Clean and fast, hot food, we'll be back.

I have been there for breakfast a few times. It is absolutely very clean and the services is good and everything is really fresh. I totally enjoyed it. read more

3/27/24 Had lunch at the Wildwood location today, and it was not good. The bathroom was dirty, the Italian wedding soup had no meatballs, and my cup was half full. Sandwich was sloppily made...the restaurant is packing them in but I won't return for a while. Expect value for money paid...going downhill at this location. read more

The food & service were acceptable. Breakfast was interesting. Menu options were different. Not just a scrambled egg place!

I've been here a few times. Service has always been good and the food is so fresh! The biscuits and gravy are excellent! I've had the works omelette and the trifecta. Both were outstanding. read more

I had The Works omelet. Sausage was not great, bacon was ok but not impressed at all. Seasoned potatoes were way too peppery. Husband's Cobb salad was good Prices were high and quality of food was not worth the cost. No return trip read more

The buzz is correct. Great place, great food. Decent service. Nice people. Waitress was knowledgeable. read more

Excellent breakfast as well as the service. We sat outside as we had my dog with us on a road trip. I would definitely go back!

Visited with a group of eight ladies. They were very accommodating to our group. We all ordered a lunch combo. Everyone that got the hardy vegetable soup seemed to really enjoy theirs. The tomato soup was very creamy and flavorful. Sandwiches were very fresh and salads looked yummy. Good attention from the wait staff. All in all a great experience dining. I will return. read more

Absolutely the best breakfast place and the best crew. The food is amazing no matter what you order. Very very clean our favorite in Wildwood of course and the waitresses and waiters are all amazing We have been to the one in Clermont but we didn't care for it. read more

SOOO GOOOD! The food was amazing, and the drinks were too. Service was normal but still good. Totally recommend.

Nice people and good food, the avocado toast is exceptional and I highly recommend trying it.

Best healthy food!!! Love the ease of online ordering as well, be sure to try the morning meditation juice

Nice decor & decent waite staff. Asked for eggs over easy, got over well. Asked for potatoes well done & crispy, not. Potatoes also very salty. Answer was they can't do anything about that, I said...tell chef to not add so much. This is the 2nd time with salty spuds. read more

Prompt seating. Friendly and attentive service. Quick meal delivery. Most dishes were prepared well except for the fried potatoes, many of which were undercooked and hard. Some dishes were over seasoned. A few pools of grease on the plate from the potatoes, omelette and bacon. Very nice whole grain toast. Everything is priced a bit high for what you get. Otherwise okay. We may come here again but we're not in a rush to do so. read more

Food was ok. Waitress was super nice, BUT, my husband asked for a glass of water she brought 2 and we didn't even drink water because glasses were SO dirty. Unacceptable. And besides that place is super loud. Not coming back. read more

No one, in this area, offers the quality of their breakfasts. Having said that...this WILDWOOD location has dismal customer service and despite Governor DeSantis revoking ALL Covid restrictions weeks ago...First Watch has decided it has its own rules :( This review was NOT based on Covid restrictions! read more

I have eaten at other First Watch locations and the service and food was great. We were seated right away and then it took 10 minutes for our server to come by. We placed our order and it took 40 minutes to get our food. I ordered the Cobb salad. It had 6 tiny pieces of turkey. Not what expected for a Cobb salad. The server did apologize for the wait but when she asked if everything was good we didn't answer. We won't be going back. read more

Great food & service! It was very busy & were taken care of in a timely manner, would definitely return.

Food quality and choices are great! Really enjoy our meals at First Watch. Highly recommend. Not inexpensive but well planned meals. read more

Food ok, slightly overpriced. Totally disinterested service. Will not return to this location. Go elsewhere. read more

Mark was our server. He was polite, gave efficient and quick service. Food was absolutely amazing and everyone was super polite! Definitely a nice change to the service industry. Very welcoming, upbeat atmosphere. Definitely will be back! read more

We stopped in for breakfast on recommendation from my brother. First Watch is top notch. I had the Tri-Fecta. We also had Holey Donuts!, hot chocolate, and a mimosa. Everything was hot and made as ordered. This restaurant offers gluten free options. We were pleased with our experience and will definitely consider coming back here! read more

Very poor service. Fritatta overcooked. Salad came undressed. when asked for dressing it was placed on th e B table without explanation.

I usually love this place but they seem to be going down hill. I normally order the Farmhouse hash with scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, avocado, onions, tomatoes, cheese with whole grain toast. What I got was soggy, barely cooked bacon, with a few of the other ingredients over 75% potatoes. I may have caught a glimpse of some avocado. I picked the fatty bacon out and put it aside. It's usually very crisp but not today. I don't know if they're scrimping on the food because of the food crunch but there was definitely not the quantity of past meals. The toast was also cold and hard. It was like eating hardtack. I was starving and in a hurry and didn't make an issue of it. As I said, usually the chow is usually great but not today. Will give it another chance then move on if the same. read more

We love this breakfast place!! Traveled to so many all across America and the have always been on point! Please keep expanding so everyone can eat this yummy healthy food. read more

Typical breakfast. A few different spins here and there. Unfortunately the coffee was definitely horrible. I'm never ever happy if the coffee isn't any good. Staff and service was exceptional. Minus a star for substandard coffee. read more

Well the reputation said it's the best breakfast ever. So I'll say this. Bloody Mary, bacon, great. The chickichanga was not my kind of flavor. Was weird to me. Plain and blueberry Pancakes were just so so. The maple syrup was lacking sweetness. The jelly they gave on the plate wasn't anything special, pretty bleh the potatoes werent crispy and we're t quite soft like aldente potatoes the biscuit and gravy the gravy was like a 6 but the biscuit was too light and fluffy and flavorless, like a 2. But the lemon ricotta pancakes were especially bomb. I liked leaving a whole pot of coffee and water at our table. Good place. Will update when I spend more time here read more

Wildwood First Watch Food was GOOD but Service needs motivation. Servers will offer you refills on drinks and charge you for every refill afterwards . Marissa did not want to serve us normally and you can just tell the work ethic was to just get me a refill on something that doesn't offer free refills then charge me and rush us out (Never offered TOGO boxes or TOGO drink cup). We could've stayed longer and got more food but that experience alone has put Wildwood First Watch lower on my list and caused us to leave. read more

Let's start by saying we have ordered takeout/delivery from this First Watch several times and loved the food. HOWEVER today's order was a big disappointment. When our order arrived we immediately noticed 2 items we paid for were missing (Millionaire Bacon and Breakfast Potatoes). We called the restaurant right away to fix it and they knew what was missing but they decided to do nothing to try and get us these missing items. The manager said they were training and very busy so they made a mistake and offered a "free" meal next time. What good does that do? I already paid for these items and wanted to eat them today not at some future date. When I asked for a refund he said "corporate" would be in touch to credit me in 5-10 days or I could come by in person to get cash. What?? We paid and tipped in advance trusting we would get our full order and instead we got a headache. Maybe he needs training as a manager on customer service. So we hung up and sat down to eat our Chicken & Avocado Chop Salads only to find out there wasn't any avocado in either one? What?? It is in the name!! Do better, First Watch. read more

Went for lunch today. The place was packed but we got in fairly quickly. They have enough staff to keep things moving. Karly was our server and she was fantastic. read more

Good service food was very good with the exception of the oatmeal. It was very dry. Enjoy the atmosphere and the waitress was very attentive to our needs read more

Growing pains - the restaurant is not thriving with a captive audience. We have eaten outside twice the past 2 sundays. It's the equivalent of purgatory; you have to beg for service while servers congregate around the cashier. It's not just outside seating because we are equally ignored inside too. For a chain the food quality is not consistent. Best to go to lady lake or ocala read more

First Watch - The only server who hustled - the rest socialize - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wildwood, Florida

So I'm a pretty big fan of first watch. this is my third time at the Wildwood location. All I can say is as a server you survive on tips. That being said you would think that the customer service would be much better. I went in early had my selection in mind. The waitress was obviously annoyed that she had to work. No good morning no are you ready to order no nothing. Then she completely got the order wrong. I've been to the first watch in Clermont probably 30 times. That's a long drive but I'd rather use the gas then eat where they're annoyed that you're there the food was ice cold and the service was absolutely abysmal. read more

Nice staff and cute ambiance but my food was inedible. Toast was hard and cold. Million dollar bacon was a plate of barely cooked, floppy fat. The cheese grits were bland and the donut holes were so greasy that they drilled grease if you squeezed them. Nasty. read more
