Wow, a First Watch location where I can be seated right away?! Yes. It is true. My husband and I have been here twice. Each time we were one of two or three tables in the entire restaurant. The servers have all been extremely friendly, and they're always smiling. The entire staff seems great. And the food....well, you just can't go wrong. I love the Cajun omelette, and the Tri-Athlete and the Power Wrap. Whether you're doing breakfast, lunch, or brunch, they have something delicious. And if you go during the holidays, their seasonal specials look phenomenal! read more

I have ordered here through uber eats but this is my first time eating in. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The staff is very friendly and the food was awesome. I had the Elote Mexican Street Corn Hash. It had the right amount of spice and was very taste. I'm a bread gal so I wish they had more than 2 small tortillas. My 2 years old loved her bacon and eggs. I love the fact that they use fresh ingredients. I'm waiting for when all restaurants offer almond milk for those that don't drink cows milk. That's my only negative! read more

We always enjoy our meals at First Watch. The steel cut oats with fruit is always a winning choice but my go to is the elevated egg sandwich or the avocado toast. The staff always accommodates and brings my cream warmed up for my coffee which makes me happy. Can't go wrong eating here. read more

We ordered the Turkey sausage gravy with eggs and fried potatoes. We were impressed by the turkey sausage gravy and our eggs were cooked perfectly. Was it worth the wait? No. We were seated after a 10 minute wait. Then, we waited for over 45min after our order. Our waitress did stop by to let us know our food was coming and the kitchen was backed up. We finally flagged down another person just to let him know how long we had been waiting. He brought us a $20 gift card and expressed his apologies over the wait after checking on our food. We were finally served except the sides of breakfast potatoes. We had ordered extra crispy potatoes and our waitress said they weren't done enough so she asked them to cook them for another couple mins. Our daughter ordered the elevated egg sandwich which she said was cold but good. Our potatoes were finally served and turned out more on the burnt side than crispy. Overall a bad experience for us. read more

Went to First Watch for breakfast. I've been several times and have never been disappointed by anything on the menu. Had the salmon fritatta and it was delicious! read more

Terrible customer service. After receiving a complete wrong order the manager did nothing to correct it. There'a no need to waste time here.

Breakfast is the one thing I know how to cook, so if I'm going to pay someone else to do it for me it better be great. In the case of First Watch it was good. This was my first time at First Watch. It's probably been in my neighborhood for awhile, but it only showed up on my radar recently. My wife and I originally intended to go to Keke's down the street but walked out due to crummy service. We still wanted breakfast so we ended up at First Watch. The service here was much better! We ordered the millionaire bacon as a starter and although it was 4.99 for only four strips it was well worth it. It was almost a shame I had to share half the plate... From there we moved on to the French toast and the chickichanga. The French toast is pretty self explanatory, it was comprised of two large pieces of bread, wonderfully browned, a dollop of butter on both, and crying out to be doused in liquid tree sugar. The Chickichanga was basically a sophisticated gas station alternative to the breakfast burrito . It had more flare than a regular burrito, was doused in cheesy awesomeness, and had a lot of those wonderful breakfast flavors without all the condensation build up from being wrapped in paper to long. Between the food, the atmosphere and the service I rate this location at 4 stars. read more

This is my favorite place to get breakfast. I've never had anything that I don't like here.

I love love love first watch. Just went back for my usual trifecta with the best Belgium waffle in the whole wide world ever, but this time I subbed a lemon ricotta pancake which I also love. I love their new juices they have usually for me it is the morning meditation. But my waitress let me sample the carrot ginger chai, and I am sure it came from heaven. I know I love ginger, and I chai but the carrot was throwing me for a loop. It was everything I needed this morning before my massage next door. I only had room to eat half my breakfast because I knew my massage was in a few minutes. But now I have dinner. I wanted to go out tonight for dinner but there is always tomorrow. What a good way to enjoy my day off. My waitress was Melissa, and she was great! read more

No social distancing at all. We were seated next to a party of 10 with no barrier. Back to back.

This is not a negative review. I like First Watch and its healthier version of breakfast. I don't understand though how they can serve sausage gravy and biscuits using a turkey gravy. It tastes like Thanksgiving Day. I get it that sausage isn't a healthy option, but turkey gravy on biscuits is wrong. Not sure if this is popular, but I personally don't get it. Not to mention that the first time it arrived to the table it was cold. read more

Wow! This First Watch is outstanding local spot to hit up for breakfast! I ordered the Avocado Toast and the wifey ordered a Tri-Fecta and the food came out splendidly quick! We came out on a busy Sunday day as it was our first time, we sat in a large table among many people we do not know but had a chance to converse with. Our server, Lea was on top of her game, drinks and food came out quick and attentiveness seemed like it was priority. Next time when I stop on by, I am having a word with the managers and requesting LEA to be our server again. Overall: FOOD = Great SERVICE = PHENOMENAL Experience? Definitely worth a try if you ask for Lea :) read more

I love First Watch it's always super yummy. This morning after an appointment I decided to go to the nearest one by me which was the winter park location. When I walked in the host asked if I was dinning in. I said no could I place an order Togo. She called a coworker for that person to place my order. I asked for a menu and she pointed to the area next to the other host station for me to go get it. Which I did, I thought that was odd wouldn't you hand a guest the menu. The gentleman placed my order I immediately paid and gave him a cash tip. Order was in at 10:11am. Someone from the kitchen came with two Togo bags placed one behind the host station and the other by the Uber/door dash. The host who was a blonde looked at my order and said Greg? I said Ooh no I'm zully. Well an extra 12mins passed by and the gentleman said I'll go check on your order. Well the order was all along the bag behind the host station. When I said Ooh that's been there for a while the girl said yea it was, she knew that was my order and didn't acknowledge the fact that she missed read the label. read more

First Watch - Name that gotten mistaken to Greg. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Average restaurant. Atmosphere: Clean restaurant. Nice decor and good lighting. Service: Average service. Nothing worth mentioning. Drinks: I drank water, wife drank one of their specialty drinks. Water was not filtered and tasted noticeably bad. The specialty drink was very intense but refreshing and unique. Would recommend ordering one of their "medicine" drinks. Food: I ordered the Baja Turkey Burger with chicken/bean soup, wife ordered a salad with chicken and orange citrus dressing, mother in law ordered the Market Veggie Sandwich. The turkey burger lacked flavor and was luke warm. The soup was piping hot and nothing special. The salad was good and the dressing was unique. My mother in law claims the Market Veggie Sandwich was absolutely delicious. Value: Good value. Entrees and drinks are well priced. Recommendation: First Watch seems to be the kind of place where what you order greatly determines your experience. Based on what I tasted, I don't plan on returning. 3 stars read more

It's been years since I been to first watch. Took the whole family and got the kids kid breakfast, wife got the trifecta, and I got the crab and asparagus omelette plus cup of coffee. The food was served fast. The staff was super friendly. The waffle was wonderful and their syrup was warm....loved it! The grit was perfect consistency with just the right amount of cheese. The crabmeat was really good but the asparagus was slightly over cooked. The multi grain bread was awesome. Kids meal come with fruit cup (Blackberry strawberry pineapple) drinks are included in the kids meal. Coffee was nice and strong. Very nice place for breakfast. Total was about $60 for 2 adult and 3 kids. Highly recommended. read more

The picture of the side of fruit i attached just about sums up my experience. Underwhelming. Maybe things would be different if I dined in. I almost find this a little insulting that someone thought this was okay to put in with our order. Typically I love First Watch, but this location just didn't do it for me. One of the things we got was a power bowl and the serving size just was tiny and not filling as it is at other locations. Also got the chickichanga and even that didn't taste as good as it usually does. read more

Fresh healthy food. Just what I was looking for! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere although a bit loud. Now to the food: Yum! I had an egg sandwich with gruyere, bacon, avocado and arugula. Side of roasted potatoes, We also ordered a farmhouse hash, Blt Benedict, blueberry pancakes, and 2 fresh squeezed drinks. The kale and the morning meditation? Both terrific. Highly recommend. Wished I had one closer to me as I'd be a regular customer. Everything on the menu was totally up my alley. Next time I'd try the chickichanga which our waitress recommended. read more

I love this place. Breakfast is fresh and a nice amount. You can always get a healthy option as well. The waiters are always very nice and accommodating! read more

Great place for breakfast. Nice staff. Honestly, I haven't tried lunch, but the choices look good. As far as breakfast goes, I like that they have granola, yogurt, and oatmeal selections for when I am not in the mood for eggs. I love the lemon ricotta pancake. I also love that, for a small up-charge, you can get REAL maple syrup. That fake, chemical laden high-fructose corn syrup needs to go. No one should put that in their bodies ever. But I digress. The thing I appreciate most though, is that they have recycled paper take-away containers which are compostable. Styrofoam in our landfills also needs to go. Food is good, prepared nicely, and since we go at irregular times, we don't have to wait to be seated. There are long lines at peak times. read more

I came here recently and the service was great. I had the Eggs Benedict but dug in too quickly to take a picture. There is so much to choose from on the menu and everything tasted so fresh. The restaurant was clean and all of the staff was super friendly. Kid friendly for the little ones too ;) read more

I had an irregular day off of work and was out running errands with a friend. We were so hungry and in the area and saw First Watch on Aloma Ave, so we made a split decision to swing through for what we were hoping was going to be a delicious breakfast. We sure did make the right decision!!! We were seated (in the place that we requested), immediately (no wait)! The menu had so many awesome options for breakfast & for lunch and the food was amazing!!! The store was well cared for & spotless and to our surprise, the food came out much faster than we expected, as I am a super picky eater and had a special order. The fresh squeezed juice was so refreshing and as we sat and enjoyed our breakfast, it was nice to see all of the staff out and about and assisting one another in operating this well oiled machine! The manager on duty even stopped by to make sure we were happy (WHAT!?!? THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!!) Overall, this was such a nice surprise and I definitely recommend this location for a tasty breakfast or lunch!! We will be back...SOON!! read more

My favorite brunch place! Love their fresh squeezed juices and smoked salmon Benedict.

Went for breakfast for the first time today. The place is lovely and people seemed friendly but overwhelmed. There was a line 4 party deep to be seated and at least 5 people in line to check out. There was only 1 person to greet, seat and check out people. There were at least 6 tables waiting to be bussed and turned over. Once we were seated the waitress was nice but not very attentive. We ordered a classic breakfast, the braised rib Benedict, million dollar bacon and the mixed fruit toast. Eggs on both dishes were over cooked, the bacon on the classic breakfast was over cooked and the toast for the mixed berry toast was slightly burnt and dry. Our food seemed like it sat a bit because my husband who never complains actually said it was cold. I will try again, but hope this was an isolated situation. read more

I come in periodically to have a "me time" breakfast and the staff is always so kind. I've interacted with Taylor, Amanda and Alex. They all greet me with kindness and bright smiles! The food is always great and service is always friendly and prompt. Thanks for the breakfasts had and I will definitely be back! read more

This is my favorite First Watch of the bunch! I love the fresh, farmhouse aesthetic and the service here is great. I've been to other First Watches in the area, but this one always gets us in and out without sacrificing quality and good service. read more

I ordered uber eats and what was delivered to my door was a mini version of kingslanding after Drogon destroyed it. My food was burnt to the core and I was so hungry that I ate it anyway! Also, there were about 5bites of potato in there so thankssss... really, i love this place but every time i order uber eats, they burn something. This is the 4th time and maybe im just unlucky, or maybe the idiots purposefully send out the burnt stuff because they know they wont have to deal face to face with the customer idk. Anyway im mad and posting this has calmed me down i feel better :) FIRST WATCH HOW ABOUT YOU WATCH THE DAMN POTATOES? read more

I love it here. Allergy friendly, healthy and decent sized menu with a lot of variety. Obviously the best part is the affordable price. It's one of my favorite brunch spots and I always try to get something new. Heads up, they *don't charge extra for egg whites like most places. This place is always packed on the weekends but the wait and service are quick. They're always very accommodating. read more

First Watch is usually a safe breakfast locale. We were readily seated with our large group. Servers did an excellent job taking care of our group. I love that they leave the pot of coffee on the table so you don't have to wait for a refill. I also LOVED that they had pumpkin creamer available in single serving containers. I didn't even know they sold them that way! I ordered the Key West Crepe which seemed overcooked. The edges were a little extra crispy/charred but the flavor was good. The shrimp were a good size and it came with sour cream and pico. I just had to try a pumpkin pancake too ('tis the season!) but it was HUGE... As large as the plate. It was well cooked but could have used more pumpkin flavoring. At the end of the meal the servers handed out individual tabs which were all correct. Solid experience but not mind blowing. First Watch, the safe breakfast option. read more

I'm not sure why people like this place so much. I've been to a few locations and it's always the same experience. Poor service, that tends to feel rude and judgmental. The food has no taste, and seems to be processed and frozen. Yuck or blah are the best way to describe the food here. read more

Back again with Grandma and was prepared with our oat milk to add to our First Watch Oatmeal and fruit breakfast. Here's the best part there is a new item on the menu, Avocado Toast with two eggs. We asked the server if chef could just make the Avocado toast sans eggs so it is now a vegan side to our oatmeal. BAM! it was pretty good. So first time here was a 2* and this time a 4*. It's getting better all the time. read more

Our first visit to this location. We arrived at lunch time and were seated within 5 minutes. The restaurant was moderately busy and the servers were hustling. The menu offer many unique selections. Our party of 3 ordered two lunches and one breakfast. The food arrived about 10-12 minutes after ordering and most everything was tasty. However the lemonade was weak with little lemon taste. The other slight negative was having to wait for sugar for the coffee (had to ask twice). The overall experience was pleasant and we would definitely return again if we were in the area, read more

Just a bad place. It's a chain that has really bad food. Oh. Ask for an expresso coffee. Yeah they don't even have a machine. Sad. Don't go. read more

Let me start this review by saying that I am not the biggest breakfast fan and am not a fan of similar restaurants in the Orlando area. That being said, I did enjoy my breakfast at First Watch. I was a fan of their Skillet Hash - Farmhouse. It was a combination of eggs, breakfast potatoes, bacon, avocado, and cheese all served in a skillet. It is a simple yet hardy meal that is done really well. I personally like adding hot sauce to it for an additional kick. Those in my party also enjoyed their pancakes and French toast. It is a little expensive in my opinion but is what I have come to expect from these types of places. Ultimately I do think it is the best "local chain" for breakfast in the Orlando area. read more

I used to love coming to this location but the last four times I've gone, the service and food has been so disappointing. Yesterday I ordered the BLT eggs Benedict with some customization (no ciabatta) and sub greens for potatoes. It was presented to me with 11 potato pieces, with no avocado and soggy greens on top of the eggs? The waitress also forgot my drink and had an attitude with our entire table. I usually let these things slide, but because this wasn't the first time, I couldn't let it go. Seriously getting good service here is lucky anymore. It's disappointing as this used to be my favorite brunch place. read more
