I want to leave a five star review for First Watch in the Huntingdon valley Shopping Center. My server Leah had a beautiful smile that lit up the room. She was extremely friendly, attentive, and anticipated my every need. In addition, the food was delicious and fresh. The host was kind and welcoming. I encourage everyone to bring your family and friends here for brunch. I look forward to coming back soon. read more

I was hungry and I didn't want the breakfast spot close to me so I ordered for delivery which I rarely do but I chose first watch. I ordered breakfast: the Farmhouse Hash and added Million Dollar Bacon, spinach, and mushrooms (the spinach and mushrooms were extra). The hash already comes with roasted peppers, onions, tomatoes, and avocado as well. Flavor wise, it wasn't bad at all. I didn't even need salt or pepper, and my over-easy egg was cooked perfectly. Now here's the part that knocked it down a bit for me.The spinach and mushrooms I paid extra for were barely there. I'm talking a literal dab I could pick it up in one small piece. If you're charging extra, it should feel like extra. The food also came out kind of warm instead of hot, which makes a difference for a hash dish. Of course, I had to get the Purple Haze drink that's always a win. I actually recreate it at home because I love it that much. Overall, it's good. Not amazing, but definitely doable. Solid option if you're in the mood, just don't expect generous add-ons. read more

First Watch - Farmhouse Hash with Million Dollar Bacon spinach and mushrooms - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Abington, Pennsylvania

Oooof. My farmhouse hash was inedible. Mostly the potatoes were to blame as they tasted like very cheap and possibly spoiled oil. Since the potatoes are the majority of the dish, it was truly bad and overpowering. Eggs were ok. Bacon was overly salty. Avocado was flavorless. The tomatoes were sundried tomatoes, which probably should have been indicated in the menu, especially because i've had bad reactions to the sulfa in most sundried tomatoes. My coworker said her food was okay but I think she was just being polite since I was treating her to breakfast. Altogether a miss. It baffles me how it is so crowded! I won't be back. read more

Always bustling and busy yet the staff is attentive and courteous. Easy website to put your name on the waitlist but don't trust the posted wait times. High energy and medium to loud background noise. Food, juices and coffees are always delicious. Enjoyed blueberry pancakes, paid a little extra for real maple syrup and the special double bacon parmesan hash. Delicious! read more

We'd been to First Watch before for breakfast, but had never been for lunch, until today. I had the Ham and Gruyère Melt and a bowl of the Tomato Basil soup. The 'Croque Monsieur', as the sandwich is sometimes referred to, was very good. For me, it's all about the ham - first, lean is a must - I don't want fat and gristle in the sandwich. Next, it's got to be sliced thin and tender; last but not least, flavorful is mandatory. The ham hit '3 out of 3'. The Gruyère was melted perfectly, with thinly sliced tomatoes, on two thick toasted slices of artisan brioche, and the sandwich was topped with a delightful 'Dijonnaise'. My partner had the Roast Beef and Havarti sandwich - which pretty much requires the same parameters as the Ham and Gruyère. The roast beef was lean and tender, and the multiple toppings of lemon-dressed arugula, roasted onions, sliced tomatoes, and Havarti cheese, made for an amazing sandwich! We both had the soup, which comes complimentary with the sandwich. We had a choice between the Tomato Basil, and the Broccoli Cheddar. We both chose the Tomato soup. The soup was good, but not quite what I expected. I'm used to a creamier, sweeter tomato soup. It was a thick, rich soup, but I was surprised with the tangy taste. I would try the Broccoli Cheddar next time! read more

First time eating at this location, but have eaten/ordered from a First Watch restaurant before. This is not a stand alone spot - falls in line with the strip of stores in the shopping center. Luckily the person I was meeting with hot there a few minutes before me, so got a seated immediately. Kept it simple with a hot tea for my drink since it was so cold outside and kept it on the healthier side for my eats with the Chicken Avocado Chop salad. The salad was actually very filling and tasty. Plus the little baguette/roll they gave with it helped the filling taste. Service was good and appreciated the manager coming out to talk to us, see how our dining experience was, etc. when we were closing out/paying at the register upfront... I would come back for breakfast or lunch again. read more

Came here for a Sunday afternoon brunch and it went well. Even in the heyday of Sunday brunch, our party of three didn't wait too long to get seated. It was a nice and intimate looking dining area. We went with the Bacado Omelette, Turkey Biscuit gravy with eggs, and eggs Benedict with salmon. Everything came out perfectly and quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I love the little touch on my Bacado omelette with the sour cream being whipped as it'll it were whipped cream. I thought it was a very nice touch. Aside from a small snafu with receiving the wrong check at the end of the meal, I'd say there was absolutely nothing to complain about. I would highly recommend getting brunch here read more

The General Manager, Jonothan, displayed highly unprofessional and disrespectful behavior towards a couple of the young female employees on March 21. 2026. The manager spoke to them in a loud and demeaning manner in front of customers, which was both embarrassing and inappropriate. Additionally, while one employee was attempting to communicate, the manager abruptly slammed a door in her face. This behavior is not only disrespectful but also created a hostile and uncomfortable environment. It has also been observed that this manager primarily communicated this way only with the young female adults working in this establishment, which raises concerns about fairness, professionalism, and appropriate workplace conduct. This pattern of selective communication further contributed to an uncomfortable and potentially discriminatory environment. Mansgement should take more of a mentor role and be a real leader employees will follow as opposed to a BULLY, trying to intimidate the younger female employees. No employee should be subjected to this type of treatment, especially in a public setting where it can impact their dignity and sense of safety at work. Professionalism, respect, and proper communication should always be upheld by leadership. read more

Had a great experience at First Watch thanks to Sam. From the moment we sat down, Sam was super friendly and made us feel really welcome. Service was on point the whole time and made sure everything came out the way we wanted. The food was great, but Sam honestly made the visit even better. It's rare to get service that feels this genuine. If you're heading to First Watch, definitely try to sit in Sam's section. You won't regret it. read more

First watch is an amazing treat whether you dine in or take out! Their food is fresh, well seasoned, and well paired. Did I also mention they are vegan and vegetarian friendly?!?! Their menu has a range that most restaurants struggle with offering. My favorites are the cheese grits, the million dollar potatoes and the biscuits with Turkey sausage gravy. The service is great. While sometimes little slow, each server is extremely attentive. The atmosphere of the restaurant is playful and energized, leaving you feeling welcomed and at home. They have a main menu and a seasonal menu. They make their own drinks, right now their signature seasonal drink is the blazing dragon featuring dragonfruit as the main ingredient. IT'S DELICIOUS. This place is truly a gem! Even ordering takeout, my food is always ready and hot! Definitely one of favs and a very special go to! read more

Went there today and was seated right away. However, I sat at the table for aprox 15 min and was not waited on. Was not acknowledged by anyone. Ended up leaving to eat somewhere else. Would not go back. read more

My friends have been raving about first watch for a long time now. So I finally went to the Abington location for Sunday breakfast. They do not take reservations but you are able to add your name to the waitlist in advance. I waited about 15 mins to be seated upon arrival so it was not too bad. I got the farmhouse hash with vegan sausage instead of bacon. It has eggs of your choice on top of potatoes, roasted onions and tomatoes and avocado. I guess my expectations were very high after my friends spoke so highly about it but it was average. It tasted okay and it got the job done. The service was good and friendly. It is very family friendly and homey. The menu has a variety of options from pancakes to egg dishes to lunch sandwiches, something for everyone. I would go back for a quick bite. read more

I would've given 3 stars if the service was a little better. We were sat right away but out waiter didn't come over for nearly 10 minutes. People walked passed us, and another table was sat without us getting any service. The other table got drinks and we were just sitting. The hostess walked passed to seat yet another table and asked if our waiter had come to our table yet which no one had. He apologized and about 2 minutes later someone walked over. I will say we placed our order and our food came out in literally like 5 minutes. I got the Trifect which was 2 eggs, bacon and waffle. My husband ordered off of the fall menu and got the Million Dollar sandwich and the million dollar potatoes. Nothing really stood out to me with my food. My waffle was kind of soggy. My husband said his sandwich was okay, said the honey kind of threw the taste off a bit but still good. The potatoes were good. This is my second time here and it isn't my favorite but my husband enjoys it. It is also the second time we've had subpar service. I don't think I will return. read more

Came to First Watch for brunch on a weekday. I ordered the Healthy turkey omelet... and it came looking totally gross. I couldn't believe that they thought it was okay to serve. After looking at the omelet, I noticed that my "healthy turkey" omelet had no turkey at all . I asked my server if this was how it was supposed to look, and pointed out that there was no turkey...he apologized, and they begrudgingly made me a new one, with turkey this time. There are a lot of great breakfast and lunch spots, and this was the first bad experience I've had at first watch - but it had been a while since I'd been here. I'd give them another try but I won't be in a rush to do so. read more

The food here is good but I don't Like how they practice unsanitary habits like putting objects such as (ketchup packages and plastic cups of sauce) inside your food container!!! This is not the best procedure when these items could be harboring bacteria and germs and should not be placed where it is touching your food... I really hope they can incorporate different sanitary habits and it would definitely be 5 stars! read more

I have lived in this neighborhood for 34 years and we were all sad to lose our little corner diner that survived for so long but as it turns out a breakfast lunch and brunch establishment named FIRST WATCH has opened up and has absolutely provided an experience I have yet to have an almost 10 years. My father just had a lower leg amputation due to diabetes along with having open-heart surgery and a pacemaker planted and accompanied by my mother and my two year old nephew with myself. David, our server was not only very understanding and very accommodating for our situation but the energy of the establishment had a flow that naturally drew WIN whether people were talking or not because it is just relaxed. It is absolutely outstanding service and food, and management are the type of people that you wish you could work for because they make the work life and all of its possibilities one would hope for seem normal. I never write reviews, but I must give the praise where the praises do staff is phenomenal and kind his breakfast brunch and lunch, and come meet some of the really amazing kind people who genuinely care about you and serving you! Space is beautiful and very clean and a very relaxing ambience. read more

We went on Mother's Day so it was busy, but we joined the waitlist online, arrived between an hour and an hour and a half later and then only waited about 5 minutes for a table. The restaurant was very cute inside and the restroom was clean. I really enjoyed my food and the people I was with did too. I've heard there is one in Fort Worth where I'm from so I'll have to try that location. read more

The wait was unacceptable. We were told 40 Minutes and it was over an hour and 10 minutes after checking on our place in line. The portions were small and the taste of the food was nothing special. This was my first experience here and I doubt I'll be back. Giving 2 stars instead of 1 because our server was nice. read more

Great location with plenty of parking and servers are usually friendly. Gets busy during peak times so we'll order pickup but 3 out of 5 times, we'll get home and find that the food is too salty and or burnt. I usually suck it up but this is my last time I'll get pickup from first watch abington. read more

The smoked salmon frittatas came with bread and it was salty. The frittatas had big chunk of shallots and the overall taste wasn't satisfying.The potatoes were still a bit undercooked and had some chard taste. I don't think I'll get the salmon dish again. The drink I got was the mango passion fruit and that was tasty and would recommend to try. The French toast is a bit too sweet for me, but I think it still tasted great. I was told that might be a bit sour, but I couldn't tell. The service was great! read more

I will start off by saying I usually LOVE First Watch!! I took my two nieces and nephew out for brunch and was so excited to cheer them up (we were coming from Abington Jefferson hospital down the street). Overall this was the most disappointing brunch ever. They had run out of bacon. The Bacardo they forgot the sour cream and pico de Gallo. After we we finally waved him down he brought two very tiny plastic containers of each; hardly enough to fit the description "topped". She said it was very dry. My "elevated" egg sandwich, of course was missing bacon, but also the lemon dressed arugula. It was just a sad egg and cheese sandwich with a small dollop of avocado. It was like the waiter didn't know the menu or even check that order was right. Side of fruit were some grapes that seen better days . They were brown. The waiter put the food down and we waited for utensils. Rookie mistake. The chocolate chop pancakes were a winner. Sausage was good and blueberry griddle muffin top cakes were good but small. Guess I'll stick to the First Watch in Pittsburgh or try the one that opened near where I live. read more

The place is really cute and has a nice vibe to it. I can see it being a really cute brunch place to go to with friends. They have a big menu and a lot of options for any kind of diet. They are also BYOB. I ordered something off of the specials menu I got the crab cake Benedict I would say it was a 3/5 it was good but I didn't eat much of it. But guys, the star of the show the reason I would go back to this place. The iced coffee, oh my god. I think about it to this day still. 5/5 I would give it 10/5 stars if I could. They substituted the regular milk for oat and it just was simply amazing. I wish this place was closer so I could go regularly just for the iced coffee. Like honestly what are they putting in there ???? I would also like to check out the rest of the menu since they have so many options. read more

It's hard to find a good brunch/breakfast place in the suburbs. First Watch is super busy for this reason. Came around 11 on a random Thursday and I felt like I came on a weekend. The waitress was super attentive. I loved the coffee for the big amount of refills offered. The Million Dollar Bacon was pretty good. I like how crisp the bacon is and love contrast of the maple syrup and black pepper. read more

I had breakfast here with my daughter early on morning. It was great that they are in a shopping center and plenty of parking was available. It was pretty quiet with only one table occupied so there was no problem getting a table. The service was pretty prompt. We order coffee, oj and water. The server forgot the water several times. For food I had French toast and the million dollar bacon and my daughter ordered the Benedict. While my daughter loved her Benedict I thought the French toast was just okay. I was not that impressed with the million dollar bacon. I wished the French toast was a tad more fluffier. It was just flat and sort of need some other flavoring. The portions were huge. There was more then enough to feed us both. I'd love to go back and try some other things off of the menu. I love how the menu highlight the freshness of the ingredients. read more

This place is great. All your favorites on this menu, eggs Benedict, farmhouse omelette, egg skillets etc.There is all so healthy options. The menu , açaí bowls, granola parfaits, fresh squeezed juices as well as health tonics and drinks. If you can't find something on this menu , your not hungry. About the only downside of this place, is that it closes at 230p, what a bummer. We had a special chorizo omelette that was great, the trifecta plate which had an unbelievable waffle, third person had a farmhouse omelette witch had amazing breakfast potatoes and six grain bread. The coffee and orange juice were tasty. Really a neat concept to enjoy. Can't wait to go back ! read more

I had my monthly brunch meet up with my girlies here and the food was fantastic! Parking was easy on a weekday and the restaurant is very spacious. They had booths, tables and "outdoor" seating. I ordered the French toast, my girls had Belgian waffles, omelette, other sandwiches. They were all amazing and well portioned that I brought home leftovers. Our waitress was awesome in splitting our checks even before asking! This saves everyone time. I will be back again read more
