First Watch - Henderson, Tampa FL

Breakfast at this place - super good. Came in on a Thurs. The service here is great. Prices were fair for the quality of the food.

Breakfast and the feeling here is very good. Great place to relax, people watch, eat good food or all the above. Service treated us so nice. Prices were appropriate. I see why this place has so many great reviews.

Breakfast, yummy. Very delicious. The service here is above par. Prices were fair for the quality of the food.

Breakfast at this location - very good. I think I might become a regular. The place has an awesome feel to it. Menu is similar to a restaurant in El Paso I liked.

I like First Watch. And I will always eat here. I must warn everyone however: they do not serve or even carry BUTTER.

Butter, you know the stuff that comes from milk? Their substitute is margarine. Margarine is not butter, it’s made from changing the molecular structure of cheap refined oils (like canola, which is actually from the genetically modified rapeseed plant) to add more hydrogen bonds so it’s stable in room temperature. It’s way cheaper than butter.

Anyways, whatever, no big deal, just warning the people who hate margarine to BYOB (Bring your own butter).

My message to First Watch:
Simply offer it at a higher price point, just carry it on deck for the snooty people like me. Won’t hurt.

The first thing I noticed was that the parking lot was full and people were waiting for tables. This is always a good sign. You can watch your place in line on your phone. Once I got a table I noticed a full and unique menu. They have many classic dishes and some you won't find anywhere else. The best surprise was how good the coffee is. I like strong and flavorful coffee, and this is arguably the best coffee in Tampa. As far as the food, every dish I have tried is outstanding. Special mention for their homemade thick cut bread. Too good. First Watch has become one of my favorite breakfast hangouts.

I've always been a First Watch fan, but this location sets the bar very high in quality, customer care and excellence. I put in an order a few days after having all four of my wisdom teeth pulled. I ordered to-go via phone and was fortunate enough to speak to Lois who took the time to understand my situation and recommend food options that would be easy on my sore mouth. Of course the food was good but Lois' kindness made the process/experience much better.

Waitress was scatterbrained. Forgot items, etc. Name was Brittany.

Also, the pecan salad that was previously SO good with the Dijon dressing was inedible. Dressing was so hot (like mustard in Chinese restaurant), it ruined the salad. Won't order it again.

Probably won't return. Love eggs but 99% of entreés contain poached eggs, fried, or whatever. A few more entreés without eggs as an integral part in the entreés would be wonderful.

First Watch is really good and food is healthy. I recommend this to all that have and or is trying to keep good eating habits for a good meal out.

I enjoyed my roast beef and vegetable soup! The service was fine and the interior was clean and attractive. It is a little pricey and I would not normally go but yiu ear free on yiur birthday:)

The Floridian French toast was amazing. The menu is a little over priced for the amount of food you get. I was still hungry afterwards.

We go to this location at least twice a month if not more. The staff is always friendly and the food is always fantastic. I love that they serve water or coffee while you wait for your table. The food is always delicious and the specialty juices are great.

This was our first time eating at First Watch and our last. I was very disappointed with the service this morning. Our service was horrible! My son was very thirsty and I requested water. Our server never brought him water so I ask another server to bring him water. No one ever brought him water. Our server took our order and only came back to our table one time. On a positive note our food was delicious except for the chewy bacon. We paid over $65 for breakfast for 2 adults and 2 children. When my family eats at a nice restaurant we expect better service.

Place comes recommended but we found the food lacking taste. Staff were nice and it's popular but I can think of a lot of other breakfast places that have superior food.

Excellent food. Don't go if time is limited.

My son and I make bets on who will get worst service as we go separately with others.

I topped him this week.dried egg on coffee cup.served someone else's meal.took 45 min to get oatmeal and a muffin that was chilled as if just out of fridge.the coffee pots do not keep coffee hot, just warm. It's as if the majority of servers not only have no experience but no common sense either.but they are all pleasant, laid back. These things happened over visits IN PAST TWO WEEKS. Today I waited 20 min just to be acknowledged in the booth.this is all at Henderson. I like to go on Crowded SUNDAYS JUST TO WATCH FACES OF FRUSTRATED DINERS.

IF YOU ORDER A MEAL THEN WANT DESSERT THE MEAL DISHES ARE JUST PUSHED OUT OF WAY AND FRUIT OR WHATEVER SQUEEZED IN. NO CLEARING OF TABLES. BUT EVERYONE IS VERY SWEET AND NICE.

. YES GREAT ATMOSPHERE. GREAT PEOPLE. GREAT FOOD.

This one does a great business.so I guess it doesn't matter. I hope!

The food was not all that good tbh, the service was great & my drink was delish, will definitely stick to Another Broken Egg Cafe

Great service, even better food. I’ve been coming to first watch for over a decade and would recommend it to anyone and everyone! They offer a healthy spin on everyone’s favorite breakfast/brunch foods!

This place is everything a breakfast place should be.
The food is special and beautifully presented.
The staff is the perfect balance of professional and friendly.
Well trained and managed.
I’ll be back.

The food was just right! And the staff all look like models walking a runway! Cute cozy place. A must go!

Server was terrible and took 20 min for the check. I normally love this place but very bad experience this time.
