I came in with my mother and grandmother and this is the second time that I have had problems. I order the same thing trifecta add a cup of grits and they always forget my grits. My sever Ethan was not a good server at all. I will never return here again and have told my friends not to come to this location either. I had to wait for Syrup and an extra plate for over 10 mins. He never came back to the table and when he did he act like we were bothering him. I watched him go to all the other tables with a smile on his face and talking to them. My mother asked for well done sasuage it came out cold. If he would have came back he would have known. I hope he doesn't treat everyone like this. We were done eating the plates remained on the table meanwhile I'm watching him empty everyone else table around us. I have never felt so belittled and hurt In my life. read more

Came here on a Saturday with 2 people. I love First Watch, whenever I am in a town with one I also stop by. I took my grandmother with me and she LOVED it! The consistency of First Watch regardless of the location is always a plus. You know the food is going to be just what you ordered and need. I always get the Tri-Fecta with turkey sausage. read more

I guess I have to describe where this one is located since it seems like there are First Watches on every corner now in days. (watch out starbucks!) So this one is right across the street from Trader Joes on Mills. We came here spending early morning hours getting vaccinated. For a chain its really not bad at all. Their pancakes are unique and tasty. I had the carrot cake pancake; very good. On special they had an everything bagel with cream cheese, salmon and this arugula mix (see pics) Service was super friendly, and I really like the outdoor seating area. read more

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon so we decided to check out this place nearby as we have driven by it numerous times. Apparently they have multiple locations so they definitely run a successful business model. You can conveniently get on the virtual wait list online. We were quoted 20-25 minutes, and when we arrived 25 minutes later we only had a 5 minute wait before getting seated. Modern decor inside as you walk in. Our order took around 20 minutes to come out which seemed reasonable but our waiter apologized for it taking so long, so I'm guessing the food typically comes out even faster? My partner got the Smoked Salmon Benedict and I opted for the Farmhouse Hash. Her benedict was somewhat underwhelming, the toast was a bit dry which usually makes or break a benedict. The salmon in it was just ok. The farmhouse hash was better; really liked the avocado which mixed well with the potatoes, tomatoes, and bacon and all of it tethered by melted cheese. The eggs however were overcooked, I asked for over easy but unfortunately the eggs were made over hard as you can see in the picture. Place overall was ok, can find better brunch spots in the area, however if those have long waits then this might be a good option. read more

This First Watch is a new location that opened up. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. The restaurant was packed, but we were lucky to be seated almost immediately on arrival. They have outdoor seating. It today was extremely hot out. I'm not sure how the folks didn't melt out there:) There is adequate shade though and though I like sitting outside at most places, today called for air conditioning:) Started it with coffee and came specifically for just a good old fashioned breakfast with eggs over easy, a slice of smoked ham, some thick cut multi grain buttered toast, and some potatoesAlso got to try a waffle and some turkey sausage. This place definitely cured my weekend breakfast craving. Great decor and there is a light fixture there that we will be searching for to add to our kitchen at home:) read more

I order from here frequently, and it's very inconsistent. Very rarely it has been phenomenal, but the majority of the time it is bordering on or completely inedible. Burned potatoes are a huge problem, and that is extremely consistent. I have never not received burnt to a char potatoes, so I avoid ordering those now. They're also undercooked inside which doesn't make sense. Burning food is a problem with other items, like the sliced ham (and sausage!). The ham isn't usually too bad, I've even had tender moist ham a time or two - but not this time. This time it looked like they ran it under the grill to collect as much char chunks as possible. The OJ was the worst part. It tasted like a green banana smoothie, bitter tart and thick. It was like they put whole oranges in a food processor and served it up. One sip and I regretted swallowing. This hasn't been the first time I've experienced this from First Watch. The only positive is they have yummy muffins, and typically good sandwiches. Although about half the time they forget to include the horseradish with the roast beef sandwich. read more

It was a bit of a disappointment at this location yesterday. We came in and sat down to a dirty table and mugs. Finally, we were rolling once the waitress came, and we ordered. Welp asked for napkins...twice she never brought them. My omelet had onions in it. My potatoes had all the grease out the frying pan on them and on my plate. It was horrible!!! It definitely was disappointing. She finally bought the food correctly but forgot the bacon for my daughter. They gave her sausage instead of bacon. We finally received the napkkns. It was a rough experience, especially since I do frequent first watch often. Spoke with the mgr, he apologized and gave us some free donuts and juice. The waitress has to do better, the place was pretty empty at 12 on a thursday. read more

My friend and I met for breakfast on a weekday. We sat at the bar and Alejandro was so cute and had the best personality! We ordered and the food was tasty but my friends English muffin took forever to come- she had already almost finished her grits. I had the traditional breakfast and it is always tasty. We will be back- if not just for our bartenders personality read more

No wait today when we came after 1. We sat outside today. Server was really nice, but churros were pretty tough and not hot at all. My waffle was undercooked and they didn't bring my sausage out until we were getting up to leave, and asking for it twice. More like 3 stars for me but we don't usually have any complaints here read more

We make it a point to go to a place at least 3 times before giving it a review. It really surprises me how people are lowering their standards. I guess it's because there are so many bad restaurants anymore, so when they rate this one they are rating and comparing it with another bad restaurant. First watch has to be one of the worst Restaurants for food quality, I have experienced in the Orlando Area in quite sometime. If it wasn't for eggs they would have nothing worth eating let's face it, it's kind of hard to screw up an egg. I rate first watch number 3 on the list. Extremely overpriced for the quality of food they serve. As far as the service that was hit and miss, we only went 3 times 3 times too many. 2 times the service was okay. 1 time we almost walked out. I guess we are going to stick to the more off the beaten path country style restaurants. I will give it a 10 for cleanness and appearance. Overpriced terrible food don't waste your money. read more

This place hits the mark. Been here a few times for brunch and it's consistently excellent food and service. The place is always busy, but with the waitlist, they give you a pretty good estimate so that you can time your arrival. I've usually been seated after only waiting a few minutes if not immediately. I love Smoked Salmon Benedict and they do it well here. Always super fresh ingredients, eggs perfectly poached, and the portion sizes are generous without being too large. The Million Dollar Bacon is worth the splurge - so addicting! Service is also always friendly and attentive. read more

Fall Menu is my Favorite! I love that pumpkin isn't the only star of this menu! Even though the Pumpkin Spiced Donuts & Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast were top choices, don't sleep on the Truffle Mushroom Hash. Also, the First Watch in Winter Park FL has a bar! If you like the Kale Tonic juice, try it with Vodka next time. read more

This restaurant is a fantastic spot for a family breakfast. They have a great selection of menu options and their birthday reward is a real bonus - buy one get one meal for free. I tried the CHICKICHANGA, a Mexican-inspired dish, and I was impressed. The flavors were rich, I also highly recommend their omelets, which are simply delicious. read more

I have to update to 4 stars. The food was still good, but they had taken our favorite Market Omelette off the menu and offered only the Market Hash. The delicious, large mushrooms it used to be served with seemed to have been replaced by a lot of potatoes. Way too many potatoes compared with other veggies and eggs. Maybe because they are cheaper? This is still my favorite breakfast restaurant, but I was disappointed last time. I am willing to pay more in these times of inflation as long as a restaurant can maintain the quality they started with. If they can't, I probably won't go back. read more

We were celebrating a graduation and the graduate wanted french toast for brunch. There were eight of us and the choices were varied. What wasn't varied was the tasteless potatoes, slow service, no water refills and no manager visit. We sat outside. The outdoor seating was very pleasant. The food took awhile to come out. We had to ask for water and were brought small glasses. Apparently that's all you're allowed because we were never offered refills. The potatoes tasted like old oil and nothing else. I asked the server - Gloria - how they're prepared. She said olive oil and seasonings but that's not what I got. Four of us didn't eat them. Two of us said the potatoes were undercooked. I asked if Gloria mentioned it to the manager. She said yes but I never got a visit from the manager. We had paid for two of the potato orders as extra sides and they went to waste. I ordered my eggs over medium and one was medium and one was hard. The graduate enjoyed the regular french toast but the bananas foster french toast was just ok. The person who ordered the salmon frittata expected to see more salmon in it. We stayed upbeat because of the occasion but we should've gone to one of those cute places in downtown Winter Park. For $160 plus 20% tip it was a disappointing place to celebrate such a joyful occasion. read more

This is a lovely place to go for breakfast or lunch. This one is relatively new and it shows. The service was very good, attentive, polite and helpful. We started with beverages. Coffee and tea for us. Our main courses were the BLT Benedict. I asked for crispy bacon and it was great. It is served on a toasted ciabatta. Although the ciabatta was tasty and they gave me a sharp knife, it was a bit hard to eat. Our other order was the Chile Chorizo which was good. Overall, the food was good and the service made it a very enjoyable meal. read more

Like fabulous-- worst thing is deciding what to get. Had the salad with chicken and warm dressing- omg- and the half sandwich panini with ham and greyere was outstanding. My daughter had a veggie sandwich which she loved. Service great and super cool vibe-thrilled to hear Illinois has them too read more

We stopped in for brunch after shopping at Trader Joe's across the street. The place was busy but we were able to get a table. We started with coffee and it was good. I had the holiday special cinnamon pancake with 2 eggs and Bacon. It was great. My partner had biscuits and gravy. We thoroughly enjoyed the meals. We look forward to going back for brunch in the future. read more

I know First Watch is a chain restaurant but I love them anyway :) because they are consistently good and have a nice variety of offerings. I have been to brunch here a few times and also lunch. For brunch I have had omelettes and the quiche - and also the million dollar bacon. So dang good! For lunch I have had several great salads. The green juice is also really good although maybe a little pricey. Overall I really like First Watch and they keep me coming back for more. read more

I am a First Watch lover so when one opened near my house in Winter Park I was super excited! Parking is usually bad around here but they had parking in the back which was nice. Went on a Monday morning and even though it was busy inside, we had no trouble finding parking. They have a bar with half inside and half outside which I thought was super cool. The rest of the outdoor seating area is very cute, with a rustic, farmhouse look - really nice for an outing with friends or family. I got my usual - the A.M. Superfoods Bowl and the presentation was different than usual - but the taste was just as good! I am obsessed with their Almond Butter + Sea Salt toast as well as the iced coffee (sweetened). If you've never ordered this coffee you're missing out!! Also ordered was the spring special, the Pork Carnitas Omelet which was spectacular!! I DEFINITELY recommend it - wow. The service was good, we had initially requested seating outside but asked to move inside because of the weather being cold and windy and they were super nice about it. There was a little miscommunication about who our server was going to be after moving inside but they accommodated us for the inconvenience and did everything right! Our waitress was really kind and everyone working there, even on a Monday, had a great attitude. Overall this place had really great energy. Had a great experience! read more

So I normally love First watch. I ordered breakfast for myself for Mother's Day to take to the hospital where my husband is and has been for a week. I mistakenly ordered from WPV and not Aloma. When the team realized I ordered from the wrong location they kind of shrugged and said sorry. They did not offer to quickly make me a waffle and bacon or anything else. This is very disappointing customer service and on a day when I was feeling defeated anyway. Understand it was MY FAULT, but they could have made a difference. I called the WPV location and told them to give my breakfast to someone who needs it because it was too far for me to go and pick it up. I'm not sure where CUSTOMER SERVICE has gone, but it is GONE. Too bad. Lisa R. read more

This first watch food was disappointing their sausage was dry and old, their oatmeal was dry. Their service is not good because they do not know how to cook or check expiration dates.

Sometimes I order online and get it delivered and it's good everytime but now I don't know about first watch anymore I'm so disappointed with first watch NEVER GO THERE . I feel very bad! read more

This First Watch is right next to Midas, so I was able to get an oil change and then sit at the bar for breakfast while I waited. The bartender was really friendly and helpful. I had told her that I got the COViD booster and therefore wasn't feeling so great and wanted something cold in my stomach, so she recommended the Sunrise Granola Bowl (which wasn't even on the menu) and it was perfect. Cold Greek vanilla yogurt with fruit and granola was just what I needed. I also had the drink Red Medicine with an immunity boost, and it was a really nice combination with the yogurt. It was a great meal. read more

My family and I used the first watch app to put ourselves on the waitlist. We were promised a table by 11:58 AM, and then by the time 12:25 PM came around, we asked the host what happened to our waitlist reservation and he says that it never runs on time. So what is the point of having a waitlist on your app? I had to be at work in an hour at that point and with an extremely overcrowded and busy restaurant, I felt very anxious and rushed to order and get in and out so I could make it to work. Our waitress was wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. No issues with the food, but based on the ridiculous waitlist situation, I will not be returning to this location anytime soon. read more

This was a very disappointing lunch. The restaurant was not busy and we were seated immediately. Several minutes go by and no service. Several servers come and go by our table and no one stops to help us. After 10 minutes waiting, I had to go to the hostess stand to let her know we have not been served. Another 5 minutes go by and a server finally shows up. No apology, no excuse, she just asked what did we want for lunch. My spouse asked for Splenda and the server said they only have Stevia. He replied that he can make it work to which the server said, very sarcastically: "you don't have a choice". After she dropped the food, she immediately brought the check and disappeared. The food was good. We both had the Monterrey club sandwich. The bread was not toasted which is unusual for a club sandwich. We could have used a bit more Mayo but our server went MiA. Overall this could have been an excellent review based on the food, unfortunately the server killed it with lack of service. read more

This was a great breakfast place with a variety of options. They had a lot of different plates for every type of taste.

I tried both of them and honestly, the Kale tonic was great. We got sat down very quickly and got our food super speedy. I would give them a 10/10. read more
