WOW! Great breakfast. I have 4-pages of food allergies and the whole team took the time to make a great breakfast. From cooking my omelette in a separate pan to the gluten free toast. All delicious. Warm, friendly wait staff. My better half, who is allergy free thoroughly enjoyed this chorizo hash and over easy eggs. We will be back. read more

The food was amazing! Caitlin was great with her courteous demeanor and willingness to accommodate our table. I'm vegan and she was able to provide suggestions and options as well. The ambiance was chill not too noisy, good vibes, and it smells good in there. Next time we visit FL, first watch will be our go to. Thanks for the hospitality and the great service Caitlin! read more

Great food. Food is always tasty and delicious. I highly recommend this place for breakfast or brunch.

Went here to grab breakfast with my family. the experience wasn't a very good one. The coffee we ordered tasted like it had bacon grease inside of the coffee container we sent it back. they still charged us for it. I got the avocado "toast"(bread was not toasted and very soggy) with a side of home fries the bread was not warm or toasted at all which it says on the menu, the bread became very soggy because it wasn't toasted eating soggy bread is not the move. So I moved to the home fries and sadly they tasted like they accidentally dumped a whole salt container into the potatoes. only reason I am giving this place three star review was the rest of my family's meals tasted alright so I was able to take a few bites of theres since mine was inedible. read more

A Saturday morning. Got on a wait list at 11:04 am online, it said 20-30 minute wait. Arrived at the restaurant and checked in at about 11:20... received a text at 11:48 that we were next. (44 minutes on the wait list.) Went in to be seated, the server (Tifany) was friendly and took our whole order, explained they're busy and food was a little slow, ok.... 12:39 (50 minutes at the table) the server come and told us they haven't forgotten about us and the kitchen is struggling... um, ok... She went to check on the food. 12:42 she says there's one order before us... Food came out at 12:47. (Almost one hour from the time of order) Food was good over all, the order was correct and delicious. The server was sweet and understanding about the wait but we never saw a manager (we didn't ask for one, maybe they were helping cook, I don't know.) Walked out at 1:05. Two hours for breakfast... Will likely never return on a weekend. read more

The place just opened and food is great! The staff are nice as well. Don't come on the weekends because line is wicked! You sign up online to be in the waiting list - wait time is about 30 minutes. Then you get a text to check in when you arrive. You get to the restaurant and you will be told "You wait a few more minutes to get a text that your table is ready. " Those few minutes are like another 30 minutes of wait outside in the heat. They need to change this policy because it's ridiculous to say the least. Why just text the customer once the table is "ACTUALLY" ready? I love the service at Keke's down the road at Wekiva Riverwalk - waiting there is a lot better than Firstwatch. And no WiFi at Firstwatch, at this day in age? read more

My spouse and I had breakfast here and the service was above average. Our server was Skye and she was attentive and friendly. Many servers that walked by asked if we were doing okay and were genuinely concerned. The manager visited our table even though it was very busy with customers. At that point, it was easy to tell her about the great service and everyone's kindness. My spouse had the avocado toast and coffee, both were delicious. I had the 'Elevated Egg sandwich'. It contained an egg over easy, bacon, Gruyère cheese, smashed avocado, mayo, arugula on the tastiest, softest brioche bun with a side of seasoned diced potatoes. It was big, so go hungry! This whole plate was so delicious! We ordered a pancake to split and it was huge, fluffy, and tasted good. Don't miss out on a terrific place to have the most important meal of the day. read more

The server, Niyah, was great, and the food was fresh. We had a small wait of maybe 10min and this was on a Sun at 9am. The food was good, but definitely a little pricey. read more

after sitting for 10 minutes I was never checked on and never was served and peop who came in behind me were being taken care of thought it was a good place obviously it wasn't read more

We have always loved first watch so when we heard that we were getting one literally 5 minutes from the house I was so excited!! Even though they were only open for a few days when we went we still have a fantastic time and it was pretty busy! I'm sure there was a wait around 11:30-12 but we got there at around 1:10. Tiana was our host and she was fantastic. Our server was Caitlyn and she also did a fantastic job! I got extra excited when Caitlyn told us they had free coffee that day for their opening!! read more

Recommended for its excellent food. Place is usually busy because lots of people like it! Prices are a little higher than average, but food, cleanliness, and service make it worth it. read more

Breakfast is always great and so is the service! The wait times can be a little long at times but it's always worth it.

Ok Orlando mom and pop restaurants seem to be struggling in regard to taste and "crafting" of their food. So I had to stop by First Watch to get a breakfast that wasn't gonna miss. Hot chocolate, carrot cake pancake with eggs and seasoned potatoes all on point. Well, the pancake was a little dry, but flavorful indeed. Fluffy eggs and the potatoes were crispy. The hostess and server were both very sweet and helpful. Cleanliness in dining area and music was excellent... but let's get to that men's bathroom- Atrocious! It's 7:40 in the morning. No way should that trash can be overflowing with trash. The floor was pretty nasty as well. That toilet was even worse. Seems like someone blew it up last night, then another person followed up redecorating it. Yuck! Obviously they didn't close correctly last night, cause there's no way an establishment should be opening up with a washroom looking like that. Nasty work! Ok that's all! Be blessed. read more

First Watch - Carrot cake pancake with seasoned potatoes and scrambled eggs. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Apopka, Florida

We stopped in for breakfast, hoping there was a regular breakfast menu. The restaurant is very healthy and offers. Mostly healthy options, such as avocado on toast I was more in the mood for pancakes and hashbrowns. If that is what you want, do not come to first watch if you want something healthy, then give it a try read more

The biscuits and gravy were amazing I highly recommend it And I personally recommend Samantha as your waitress she was amazing and really everyone was very kind you may think it will take forever to get a table but it doesn't take that long. The dining was clean it was not dirty and the environment was nice.Food was delicious. Definitely worth the money first time in the restaurant. read more

I show up at this restaurant with intentions too eat a good breakfast or brunch!! Food was not what was expected. Service was lousy. I was poured a few drops of coffee and left sitting without service. I will never return read more

the food is great here, but the service today was very poor - they had some issues with staff today but still we did not even get to place our order for 1 hour. I asked 3 times to get some water and asked for a service and everyone said yes but we didn't get it. We went and got the manager and he did come over but just said sorry we are short staffed - they need to have better training during these situations because it was I thought they were helping you and they said I thought they were helping you and we received nothing. Very poor customer service - not sure if we will be returning to this location. read more

Everyone was nice food came out fast and was good. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Also it was really clean l. Big plus for me. read more

Good selection and good food. Place was packed as expected for a new place in Apopka.

Outstanding service, outstanding food; so happy you made it to Apopka! And by the looks of it, you should have taken two locations here! Ordered the Healthy Turkey Omelette, BLT Eggs Benedict, the lemon strawberry pancakes, the mediation fresh juice and kids chocolate chip pancakes! My son wants to come EVERY morning! Congratulations to the entire staff! Looking forward to becoming one of your repeat customers! read more

This relatively new location does not live up to the quality of other First Watch locations. We arrived at a 1/2 empty restaurant and had to get on a "30 minute " waitlist. Waited about 40 minutes. After seated, we ordered and waited 20+ minutes to be served food that was not hot, except 1 order of breakfast potatoes that was hot. The main entrees were lukewarm. If you like First Watch,the 434 location is much better. This one simply doesn't have enough help. Unbussed tables all around us, long line of people waiting, even while there were plenty of empty tables. read more

Food is always good here. Only issue I have with this first watch is that the management "team" is horrible. When they get busy, the manager stands down instead of going and helping their crew. Waiters and waitresses are amazing! read more

Sunday Morning, a brisk morning Ricotta pancake with Lemon Curd and strawberries, no syrup needed. Wonder hot Chocolate with whipped cream, a book and a great way to start a day. read more

Great place for breakfast. The menu had a good balanced variety and it was great for the whole family.

It's a very busy breakfast spot here in Apopka. The Service was great given the amount of people they were taking care of. The million dollar bacon is worth ordering but the portions for entrees are a lot and heavy so if you want to nap or be lethargic the rest of the day this is your place. read more

Went to First Watch to enjoy a nice breakfast with my family, but unfortunately we never even got to taste the food. We requested to sit outside because we figured inside would be too crowded for it being a Sunday. We sat there for nearly 30 minutes waiting for someone to come take our order. A couple came in 25 minutes after us and was seen in less than two minutes. I understand that it was Sunday morning and the wait would be a little longer than usual, but 30 minutes is a tad bit too long. I can't speak to service because no one ever came. We eventually just left. I did mention to the manager what happened to ensure other patrons don't experience the same thing but I honestly don't know if it mattered since it seems they pay more attention to their indoor patrons than outdoor. read more

My dad and I went here today around 11:00 am and when we ordered we told the server No Cheese on the sandwich my dad ordered, I saw the server write no cheese...the cooks obviously can't read No cheese....the sandwich came with cheese....if my dad had eaten that sandwich he would have gotten so I'll.. We told the server and they had the sandwich remade.. in the mean time, I was eating my meal. Second time around the sandwich was correct. the cooks have to pay attention, they keep having to make meals over, they will be out of business. read more

Great place. Great food and service. Great wholesome food that's healthy and hearty

My husband and I had been to first watch different locations and was excited that one finally came to Apopka. He normally would get the Montecristo which they do not have now on their menu which was a disappointment. But what was more disappointing was there "seasoned potatoes" Which were more like burnt hockey pucks no flavor whatsoever. I know they haven't been opened long but if you can't do a breakfast potato somethings wrong especially for the money that you have to pay.When they came to pick up our plate she ask was everything OK even though she could see that all the potatoes were left on both plates. I told her how bad they were and she just said I'm sorry and that was the end of it no manager nothing. read more

Our order for our sandwiches got messed up, but the manager made it right, and we got the correct order quickly. Good, fresh food. We would definitely return! read more

No issues, good food great and service super. Waiting time ,none but was busy. Around 11am on a Friday.

Went to First Watch on Sunday morning 3/5. Took 20 minutes before anyone came to get the drink order. Took another 25 minutes to get the food but the order was wrong. Instead of apologizing, the waitress argued with me over what the order was and then said that I should just try what she brought us. Seriously, why does it seem that 20 something year olds are all entitled and argumentative? My wife's order was correct but the food was not good. We should have gone to iHop who has much better tasting food for half the price. Lesson learned, never again. read more

I've been looking forward to eating at this new restaurant. Went there for brunch today. We waited 45 minutes for our food and it was cold when it arrived. I know it was there first week open and they were very busy. But this was sloppy at best. The manager was good enough to comp the meal and give us a $20 gift card. I hope they get their service up to First Watch standards before I go back. read more

Food was cold. Drinking glasses was dirty with gnats in them. Eggs not cooked to ordered. Birds eating off the outside tables.
