My first time visiting this great place for breakfast love how unique to me the food look, delicious breakfast my daughter's took me here as 1 of my birthday surprises and I could say that I did really like it alot.love what I did order, restaurant very clean but one thing I would say if you planing to visit this place please go early and dont be surprise that you still need to wait the waiting is kinda few long minutes even with reservations.but its worth every penny of it.everything was delicious can't wait to take my husband here.

This usually wonderful restaurant serving unique dishes really let us down this past Sunday. It took 45 minutes to get our meal after ordering and then it wasn't fully cooked properly. I was told that Uber delivery had just started and was draining the kitchen help.

Delicious coffee to start. First class in quality of foods. Had a farm fresh omelette full of fresh vegetables and homestyle bacon. Many great healthy choices. Home fries were very tasty. Homemade jam for my sprout bread toast topped it off. Friendly staff w nice atmosphere. Will go again.

Awesome place! Usually pretty busy every morning/lunch so expect a wait. The food is mostly egg based, but there's still a lot of options without it.

Never had a problem at First Watch!

The food was delicious and the service was probably the best I've ever had. My first trip to First Watch, will definitely not be my last!

Food was delicious. But we saw the food sitting in the kitchen for too long. We got the holey donuts and they were cold. Our server (Alanna) was unattentive. Other servers had to bring us our food after it was sitting in the window for 10 plus minutes and I had a empty glass of water for the entire duration of my visit. To make things worse we sat and waited for a to go box for 15 minutes and my grandmother had to leave about half of her plate (which is shown below). I liked their food but there service was horrible. It was my first and last time at this place.

If you go at peak times you will be waiting quite a bit. BUT the food is worth it. Just had the braised short rib Benedict and it was God-tier.

Myself and one other person came in at 11AM and we were told that there was a half hour wait. We stood, had coffee, and watched other people walk in for the first time and almost immediately be seated. It had ended up being 75 minutes before we were seated at a table. We sat down as soon as the previous customers were leaving it. The servers cleared the table as we were settling. We put our orders in right away and food came out within reasonable time. Eggs were perfect, sausage was extremely salty, and the pancakes were burnt and hard. The server walked over to check on our coffee for the first time and placed the bill on the table. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. Please go anywhere else just for the sake of being treated like a person and not a dollar sign.

We were seated quickly. Wauted almosr THIRTY MINUTES to get our warm burnt food. Sauage links hard to cut with my knife, pancakes were crunchy on top. Spent over THIRTY DOLLARS for a bad meal.

Let's start off with the fact that the food here is excellent. My most recent experience was consistent with all of my prior experiences when it comes to the quality of the food. The two issues that I have with First Watch is, first, that it's so popular that you practically have to swim through the crowd of people to get out of the door when you're done with brunch. There's no real good waiting space to accommodate the oversized crowd that always seems to materialize every time I eat there. That's something of a good problem to have because it shows how many people like the place, but it's a little awkward when you just have a big crowd of people standing around watching you eat hoping that they get your table soon. My second issue with it is their lack of a liquor license. I prefer to have a mimosa or a bloody Mary with my eggs benedict and that's a no-go at First Watch. Otherwise, you can't beat the quality of their breakfast.

Only the best ingredients are used. A fresh wonderful flavor. Extensive menu and moderately priced. Free coffee refills with a pot on your table.

Excellent choice for a breakfast stop. Very creative menu and very good service. The Bacado omelet with bacon and avacado was super.

This place is amazing! A little pricy but you absolutely get your money's worth. Our server was super great, her name was Ashley and we talked about pens. Will come again!

Good food, good servers, a little pricey, 2 breakfasts and a salad was over $50 bucks to include a 20% tip

Food was mediocre at best, water glasses smelled like wet dog and the man who I believe was the manager was walking around loudly barking instructions to the servers. He cashed out our check and wasn't directly rude, but he definitely wasn't friendly. Top all that off with food prices being on the higher side and I definitely won't be returning.

I would've given two stars but the servers were quite nice and the restaurant was clean aside from the foul smelling cups.

Staff were friendly. Eggs were good. Bacon was cooked but cold. English muffin was under-toasted, butter on it was not melted. Coffee is awful not near worth the price - way too bitter and acidic, tasted more like an instant coffee. Two people, $38 for breakfast. Very unimpressed.
