    Bar seating!
    Chetan S.

    A nice airy and well lit restaurant with a great ambience that worked well for us! Le Anne got us seated quickly and then proceed to wait on us . She was very friendly and courteous and paid complete attention to our needs . We ordered coffee , Maple Bacon Croissant Sandwich and Frittata Rustica. The coffee was excellent and both the dishes were made fresh and from farm fresh ingredients ! We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and will definitely come back for another round!

    Got there around 9am and waited about 20 minutes for a table -- not bad for a Saturday morning! Parking is easy and plenty. The server was friendly and our food came out pretty quickly. I had the Farmhouse Skillet, which was a good portion and really tasty. My daughter had the sourdough grilled cheese and said it was delicious, and my husband got the French toast, which came with a mixed berry jam that was sooo good. Only downside was that we needed a water refill that never came but otherwise everything was good!

    First Watch is a great spot for breakfast or brunch and it's kid-friendly too. Our kids like the kid's menu options, we like the fresh and healthy options and the drinks too. I do agree with others, the WaitList is a joke. As others have said they don't actually add you to the list until you check in and there is seating for maybe 4 people inside otherwise you're outside standing around. My go-to is the Power Bowl - Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl, it is so hearty and filling and the ingredients go so well together! Others I have tried and liked are the Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos, The Power Wrap and the Traditional Breakfast. My husband really enjoys the new SoCal Breakfast Hash and they used to have a breakfast croissant sandwich that was his go-to.

    The most delicious, fresh, handcrafted drinks you will ever have.

    Do yourself a favor and RUN to First Watch!! It was my first time at any of their locations and I'm so glad this was my first experience!! The staff was incredibly friendly, quick, and knowledgeable. They were so accommodating as well, despite the fact that there were hundreds and hundreds of us (there was an event at the Event Center). This place is beautiful and SO CLEAN! I was impressed by how neat and clean everything was, knowing this has to be one of the busiest locations being that it's next to the Event Center. Now the food... y'all the FOOD. 100/10. So so good, delicious, seasoned, purposeful!! Easily one of the best cheese grits I've ever had. The seasonal menu is so charming! Can't wait to find a First Watch close to me!!

    Don't let the pictures fool you. It looked way better than it tasted. We typically love First Watch. It's one of our favorite breakfast places. But today, it was definitely lacking. The food came out cold, if it came out at all. We ordered the donut holes and the sweet waitress must've forgotten to put the order in because we had to remind her. The potatoes were cold. The chikichanga was cold. The eggs were cold. Thankfully, the drinks were also cold, as they should be. It took a while to get served and for the food to come out. It's a Monday morning, not very busy. We'll probably stick to the Plano location even though the Allen location is literal minutes from our home.

    Very different in appearance from my neighborhood First Watch in Austin, but wonderful menu - and cocktail service! I needed a 30-minute turnaround, so I seated myself at the bar and mentioned my time constraints. The man behind the bar today - I wish I had asked his name - was FANTASTIC! What hustle! Never wasted a step, presented my check immediately so I wouldn't need to wait on him, delivered my food still piping hot. I love First Watch because they know how to dress greens and their menus are varied and distinctive, but WOW! The service today just knocked it out of the park. Loved it!

    Breakfast tacos and blueberries

    I came to First Watch this morning and ordered breakfast tacos with blueberries instead of black beans. When my meal came out, it came out with the blueberries they use for the pancakes, not the fresh ones the ones that come out of a bag that are frozen. When I mentioned it, they said those are the only berries we have this is the only First Watch I've ever been to that doesn't have fresh blueberries. They really didn't have them. Not one to usually complain about things, but I frequent First Watch 3 to 4 times a week Please address this FW I know your growing big time!! I love your restaurant

    (Ryan Reynolds voiceover) The vibe is place for breakfast in Allen! Junior warmly served us! We ordered the Farmhouse Skillet. Hearty! Extra crunchy as ordered! Sooo good! Bacado. Fabulous! Pesto Chicken Quinoa. Healthy and tasty! Morning Meditation. OJ w/ beets and a dash of turmeric! Ohmmmmmm. Juan, the GM, even stopped by to make sure our meal was fantastic! Would order everything again! Thanks, Junior and Juan! Woohoo!

First off the Chicken Fried Chicken was delicious prepared very well good flavor and very crispy. The gravy had a lot of flavor as well no salt or pepper needed. I order three eggs over medium the yolk could have been a bit more runny. I didn't care for the has because it did not have any potatoes in it. Service was good but did not knock my socks off. The restaurant is decorated very nice and had a good vibe. I ordered a second piece of sourdough toast which tasted great hence the reason for a second piece. The real home made jam made the toast. When the bill came I was charged $4.50 for a single piece of toast. This was a ridiculous amount for a single piece of toast it was more than my iced tea. Really $2.00 for a piece of bread toasted seems like a reasonable price. I just finished breakfast at another breakfast spot up on University. I really can't compare apples to apples except for the addition pice of toast. $1.99 for two slices of toast. Over all meal was priced fair. I just don't think I will be back here due to the prices.

The menu continues to evolve, which is good. Although this last visit both my husband and I noticed the menu is becoming very similar to Cheesecake Factory. By that I mean, they are adding more pages, more loose menu pages with options and their menu items are going into realms that seem very off brand (raw ahi tuna plates, shwarma salad, bao buns, etc). Lazy Dog has always been associated with a diverse beer selection, a down home (almost) southern like food menu. A more elevated and sophisticated Cracker Barrell if you will. This detour from the 'norm' gave us both pause - could the food actually be good? While my hubby and kids stuck to their regular options (crispy deviled eggs, buffalo chicken bites, kids menu) I chose to try the Chili Crunch Ahi Tuna - sashimi grade seared rare tuna, furikake-seasoned rice, edamame, avocado, marinated cucumbers, pickled ginger, spicy garlic crunch, citrus soy dipping sauce and it was DELICIOUS!!! I enjoyed every bite of my meal and would absolutely order it again. I definitely think Lazy Dog is making a run for being competition to Cheesecake Factory when it comes to their menu. Their desserts however have a LOOOOONG way to go. The Campfire Cookies were awful!! Stale, cooked firm, every bite had so many white chips it was overwhelming, there was barely any chocolate, the drizzle soaked into the stale cookies and was tasteless. I have a hard time saying no to any cookie, but could easily say no to these every time. I will actually look forward to trying Lazy Dog again now that they have other healthier options to choose from.

    In Eunice G's review, she called this place a "Hidden gem in Allen!". I completely agree, and would…read moresuggest that you could also call it a gemstone mine, because it is chock full of gems. We were looking for a good taqueria in Allen and found it here. This is a cozy place with about 10+ tables, playing Mexican music videos, etc. (but not loud enough to interfere with conversation). To try things out, we ordered their grilled cebolla/jalapeño combo, and 4 tacos -pastor, chorizo, barbacoa, & lengua (see photos). These are Mexican Street taco style with 2 corn tortillas. I tried the pastor, chorizo & barbacoa - they were all excellent! Served with onion, cilantro, lime slices and radish slices. Very high quality! I would be happy to eat any of them again, but would probably quadruple down on the pastor because it was just great (and I am a pastor fan - I am still in search of the El Tizoncito style al pastor tacos that you can find in DF, but until I do, these will keep me happy). While I can eat lengua (if I can't find pastor), but my wife is a connoisseur and she liked them (and messaged a friend about them). The Cebolla asados with jalapeños were amazing and an incredible value at ~ $2. We had no chance to try La Sirena (paleteria y fruteria), but it looked very promising. We will be back to try their breakfast offerings. We feel quite fortunate to have found this place.
