I have been here once before with friends since my last review which is sad, because I really like…read morethis place. I just don't get out here that often to come here. But I made a breakfast date with a friend who had not been here and we really enjoyed our meal. Service by Kim was excellent. She kept an eye on us but didn't bug us. I tried the Morning Meditation which was really nice but wow, lots of ginger. For my meal I got the Banana Brittle French toast. Excellent! You get two large pieces of French toast. I could only eat one. My friend had the Turkey sausage gravy and biscuit. She enjoyed it. I tried it and you could not tell it was turkey which was good. First Watch is clean and has an upbeat atmosphere.

We came to Jacksonville to visit our son, a Marine, and stopped at First Watch for breakfast. The…read morereviews were right: bright, welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, and fresh, beautifully prepared food. We genuinely enjoyed our breakfast and would have happily given the experience five stars. Then we went to pay. While my husband was paying the bill, I was looking at a cookbook near the register when a couple of folded $100 bills fell from his pocket. I saw them fall. I also saw the cashier quickly move his foot over them. Before I could react, he picked up the cookbook I'd been looking at and handed it to me. "No, thank you," I said. "Oh no," he replied. "I insist. My treat." Really? I was stunned and started to respond when our son quietly interrupted. "Mom, it's okay." I tried to protest. Again: "Mom. It's okay." Outside, I asked, "Do you realize Dad dropped money?" Then I looked at my husband. "Honey?" "Yes," they said. "We saw it too." Marines are trained to assess a situation and respond, and that's exactly what they did. A cashier without integrity, someone willing to risk his employment over a couple hundred dollars is a sad and desperate person. As for that cookbook? I've never used it. It sits in my kitchen among all the others, as a reminder of what two Marines taught me that morning. And to that cashier, should you ever read this: Your sleight of hand--or foot, in this case--didn't go unnoticed. You weren't quicker. You're not smarter. You didn't fool anyone. A couple Marines showed you mercy.

Another example of a review I've written before but mysteriously yelp has deleted it for some…read morereason. So I'll keep it short (for me). We did not realize this is a chain which isn't a problem in and of itself however, it's rare that chain breakfast restaurants are worth our money or time. In this case we felt they missed on every possible opportunity. Service was sketchy, we had to ask them to take our order, remind them four times for an item they kept forgetting to bring out, they burned one item, served it anyway and the waitress apologized. When she should have simply not served it at all. If I was the manager I would have been ashamed of what came out but if our orders were typical they may simply be used to being mediocre. We were in mid week and there were not a lot of customers. So we were surprised that they had run out of several things on the menu. That's simply bad management, they could have gone next door to the grocery store and bought the missing items. I had a sandwich which was just ordinary bread with almost no meat, and two small pieces of wilted leafy greens that did not even cover 1/4 of the sandwich. And this was the special. It was dry, over priced, and there was nothing on it, I mean nothing but a single bite of meat. Then getting some things wrong that a breakfast joint should do really well left us both thinking we won't come back. For example the scrambled eggs were terrible, how does a restaurant good up scrambled eggs? Literally anywhere does a better job. This is basically a Denny's with a smaller menu and lower quality. Skip this place and find an ihop or Metro diner with both just a little down the street.

Casual with amazing food and drinks. We ordered the Shrimp Nachos. OMG, the platter was piled high with crunchy homemade tortilla chips layered with actual real cheese (not cheap "cheese sauce") lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, banana peppers, avocado, and a generous amount of shrimp. If you see a chip with a bubble-those were my favorite. So delicious and could have been a meal for both of us to split. We also got The Gaff and it was absolutely delicious. The French fries are house cut and they were fantastic. Our drinks were great. Our server was attentive despite it being really busy. We will go back again this week while we're here.

Fun kid mocktails as well! Good beer selection too! Indoor and outdoor seating with a laid back beach vibe!

I love their acai bowls, chicken bacon wraps and fresh ginger shots! I've also tried the fresh squeezed juices and they're amazing. I can't get enough of this place! I highly recommend taking a tub of their peanut butter home, it's delicious and you won't regret it!
