First Watch, Bradenton FL

First time visiting this breakfast diner, very good food and presentation and 1st class customer service.

No where near the Hype I expected.cook your own bacon, eggs and hash browns at home.grossly overpriced and too much salt for me.

The food was great.i would give it a 5. We have been here 2 times, and the servers seem so detached. They do their job, but compared to many other restaurants, they lack warmth and just do not seem to care. It seems there may be issues between the servers.
Update! I’ve gone here four years later and this place is pretty good now!

Everybody loves First Watch for breakfast.
Lately at the Bradenton location, they have been over cooking their potatoes, when I order a side of potatoes with my eggs. They're typically dark brown and dried out. This is somewhat unusual for first watch but it's been my last two visits. My friend ordered a breakfast sandwich and loved hers. Hopefully things will change in the future for better.

If all you want is hot food, this is the place for you. If you are visiting family and stopping in on to celebrate the first teenager, turning 13, keep driving.

The waiter who said us first told me if we had candles, they would put them in a pancake because they did not have any brownies (there were packaged brownies and cookies on the counter right by the checkout).

So I rang to the Publix in the same shopping center to get some candles, and gave them to our waiter. Who then proceeded to serve all the food, including the birthday boy's without candles, and said that the manager said that they didn't do that, and handed me the box back.

Wouldn't be able to find matches and wanted to do know who had told us to get candles.

Such a waste of a morning and $100+ of food for 4 adults and 3 children. Imagine how disappointed the grandparents were. Will never come back here even though we bought a house 1.8 miles up the road - the entire reason we chose this place. For it's rating and proximity on a busy morning on the road.

Thomas was the best waitress ever! Great customer service very receptive and genuinely a caring individual.thanks Thomas!

Weird food combos. Americans have to be as dumb as rocks to think this place serves good food. Not so.

I ordered the Egg Benedict and instead of an English muffin or biscuit, they put it on some sort of French bread that was stale and burnt. I did get suspicious when she brought me a steak knife to cut it. Should have been a sawzall! Otherwise the food is good and very fresh.

Was clean, great fresh food, nice staff, and I liked the carafe of drinking water supplied for the table.

We love our family breakfasts here. Always have gotten friendly and attentive service along with excellent food.

This was my first time at this establishment, the staff was very professional and friendly, there was a nice young man who seated us. Will definitely go back.

The cornbread special was not warm. Sent it back, and the second one was actually cold in the middle. Butter would not even melt. Other breakfast was waffle. It had been laying around a while. Was not crisp. A lot of it was undercooked. When we talked with server the was no offer to get the manager just "sorry about that"
Bacon was good.

When we came in a few days ago, it sounded like someone was behind you in a drive thru with the bass in the car cranked up. It was really bizarre and made eating a bit uncomfortable. Not sure if it was their music or the air duct.

Outstanding flavors
Try the roast beef sandwich
Very consistent

The staff are the friendliest and most accommodating that you will find.

Food great. Wait staff very accommodating. Especially Jade. Restaurant itself needs updating.although very clean.
