    The Works Omelet
    Los H.

    This location still has the new feel. It's very clean. Today they were short staffed but did a great job of attending to customers. I had The Works omelet. After I scraped off the sour cream it was good. Lemon dressing on the greens was light and tasty. Now... the MVP of the menu was the Blueberry Lemon Cornbread with a major assist from the lemon butter. You have to try this. Period.

    We love coming here with our family. They have several healthy options. I really enjoy the triathlete. Its always cooked to perfection and very flavorful. The fruit taste fresh. My husband enjoys the healthy turkey. It came with the perfect amount of thinly sliced turkey. The service fast and the place is clean.

    Really dissatisfied. We ordered online and this is what we received. Barely any meat, other ingredients missing. Overall disgusting. The restaurant is good when you go in but I guess they are severely lacking in the mobile order department. Dear managers: Do better. This is people's money you're wasting.

    Doughy and raw biscuits

    Man... in house dining is awsome. However, ordering food through Uber eats, 8 out of 10 orders are wrong. It's so damn frustrating. Today I ordered biscuits and gravy as I always do. Everything was correct... But then.... I started to eat, my biscuits were raw, under cooked and doughy like. I'm done with this place.

    Cute and cozy. Has all the staple brunch food and more. Mexican style burritos and funky drink combos make it unique. Nothing crazy special but definitely a nice place to hop on in if you're feeling brunchy.

    A friend of mine from Texas called the other day and told me he was in Apopka Florida and wanted to know if I wanted to meet him and his wife for breakfast. He suggested First Watch a place I never heard of before. We made plans to meet at 9 on a Sunday morning. As I stated I never been to a First Watch before but glad I went. We luckily beat the crowd and were seated and waited on quickly. My friend suggested the Tradition breakfast which included a couple eggs, ham,bacon or sausage, and potatoes or grits and toast, which sounded good. When we received our food everything was prepared to perfection and the waiter returned on several occasions offering coffee. Anyway we all enjoyed our meal and the price was reasonable. I will definitely return in the future with my wife.

    STEAK & BACON BREAKFAST BURRITO

    I had a great time at First watch of Apopka. This is my first time at this location but definitely will not be my last. We were seated immediately as we walked in but I was kind of annoyed because they sat us right next to the bathrooms. Other than that the staff took care of us. The restaurant was clean and so beautiful. The amount of natural light coming in was amazing and made me happy to be at this business. Me and my husband loved each and every single thing we tasted. We did try some of the fall dishes and we are so happy we did. The cinnamon chip pancakes were the absolute best! Definitely can taste it as I write this review! So good. The "chips" are not chocolate like I originally thought but are a cinnamon sugar chip instead. The cinnamon butter topped on the pancake just brought it together perfectly! The steak and bacon breakfast burrito (we had it without bacon or chorizo) was so good as well. I liked the Vera Cruz hollandaise sauce better than the Al pastor sauce, so I would order again but just with the hollandaise sauce. Great time and wonderful food. Thank you First watch!

    I'm a huge first watch advocate! I love their healthy choices. Brackus was our server at the Apopka location. By far the best service I've ever received at any First watch I've visited. He called everyone in his area by their first name. It made it so much more personable. The food was cooked just how I requested with no issues. I went Sunday morning after church so ambiance was a little loud but not loud to where I couldn't hear the person across from me. Brackus will definitely be my server of choice at the new Apopka location.

    First Watch has stepped up their game with décor, service, and even a full bar! My husband and I ate breakfast for the first time at this First Watch location this week and we had a great experience. The décor has a rustic, industrial feel that we both really loved. My husband started with a coffee and I had a hot chocolate, both were delicious and served to us quickly. Our server was friendly, quick, and got everything for our order correct. The spring menu had some interesting options, so both of us decided to get the hacienda hash. Unfortunately, they were out of chorizo. Thankfully, they had an employee on the way to deliver some, so we decided to wait. In the meantime, they gave us some complimentary donut holes with blueberry and chocolate sauce. The donut holes were slightly sweet, had more of a muffin texture then a donut texture, and the dipping sauces were delicious. I got my hash with scrambled eggs and my husband tried eggs over easy. I am not usually a hash person, but this hash was AMAZING! The potatoes were crispy, the chorizo gave it a spicy kick, the eggs were perfectly cooked, and the sauce on top pulled everything together. We will definitely eat here again! Rating from F to A+++, I give it an A+++!

The sauce was perfectly seasoned with a little kick of spice at the end. At Sweet and Salty we ordered the Chicken Katsu. It is made to order so there was a bit of a wait, but it was totally worth it. The chicken was the highlight of both meals! The layers of flavors on the tender chicken, the extra crunchy breading! I'd come back just for that. Yum!

They have a tube rental truck where we rented our tubes for the lazy river over at Rock Springs. We stopped in for a few beers and a quick bite after tubing. Immediately the vibe was exactly what we were looking for. Chill, relaxed and easy going. Our bartender was a lovely chatty woman, serving with a smile and great recommendations for what we should do next. We ordered food & drinks and played some tunes on their touch tunes jukebox box. We amused ourselves with the customary message on a dollar bill tapped to the roof activity. The food came out crisp and hot. Fries were excellent! Wings juicy. Chicken tenders fried perfectly. They are a beer and wine establishment. No hard liquor. An elderly gentleman man, who we assumed was the owner, came over to say hello to us and was very pleasant also with recommendations for our next adventure. I highly recommend this bar if you're into dive bars and a good time.

We walked in and were instantly greeted by the staff, they were not busy, we went to the bar and had a seat. I looked around and noit much had changed since my last visit, it isstill a dive biker bar, which I absolutley love. The friendly bartender, Ben, came over, gave us menus and took our drink order, I ordered a beer which he grabbed and put a cold one down in front of me instantly. My wife and I both ordered Bacon Cheeseburgers with fries and Jalapeno Poppers to start. The poppers came pretty quickly, they were the typical premade frozen type, but they were hot and good. I'll give them a pas next time. The burgers arrived and they were excellent- just what me and the wife were craving. am not usually a fan of crinkle-cut fries, but I make an exception here- the are crispy and tasty. The burgers were tasty and delicious, just like I remembered. We both scarfed our burgers down fairly quickly. It was Karaoke night, but there weren't any takers, so the DJ sang most of the songs, and I must admit, he was pretty entertaining. But the surprise of the night was when the chef came out and sang a song- he can not only cook a mean burger, he can sing! If you are hankering for a good burger in a Dive Bar, I can highly recommend this place! I will be coming back more- next time I want the Cheesesteak!

I wish I knew his name, but I loved his service. The wine and the espresso martini were really good. My girlfriend, especially like the espresso martini and its blend of liquor with the tartness. In terms of the food, it was all really wonderful. The chicken and dumplings came with this delicious sauce that I couldn't get enough off. The potato dumplings were alright, but the seasoning and mix of the sauce was perfect for the chicken. The serving size was good as well and there was barely any bone to interrupt eating it. My girlfriend said that the steak was cooked perfectly medium as they asked. The steak sauce paired really well, and they had enough for leftovers, and enjoyed it even more the day after. The Mac & cheese was alright, we just wish there had been more of a crunch to the cheese. However, we both really liked the shape of the pasta as we don't really see those as often. Also not depicted here, but we got the cocktail shrimp. My girlfriend loved this one too, specifically noting how large and cold the shrimps were. The cocktail sauce was delicious and had a nice kick to it, and definitely squeeze the lemon that comes with it on the shrimp. Since it was an anniversary, they surprised us with complimentary dessert that was phenomenal. My girlfriend doesn't really like cheesecake or coconut, but somehow loved the dessert. It's an off menu item but it blends coconut, cheesecake, and a brownie.

The service was okay, employees refused to speak English which is fine, thankfully I speak Spanish but I'm thinking about other clients who their only language is English. We ordered a cachapa, empanada, and burger. Everything came out at different times and the burger took almost 30 minutes. We were kind of in a rush, so a heads up about the burger would've been nice. They also ask for 20-25% tip which I think is too much considering we pick up after ourselves and get up to get our own napkins, utensils, sugars, etc. I work in the service industry and I only ask myself if they're getting paid below minimum wage. Obviously I still leave a tip because I appreciate what they do, it would just be greedy if the owners are paying their workers below minimum wage. Enough yapping, we ordered the cachapa with cheese, which came out cold and crumbly, it looked beautiful but the flavor was not there, I've tried many cachapas and by far this one was the least pleasant to eat. The burger didn't taste authentic at allll. It felt like more bread than anything. The empanada did not taste authentic at all, it was like the filling barely had any potatoes, it just felt like the flavors were not there at all. I will continue to order these items at my local Colombian restaurant, where they never fail. The best part of my visit was their latte, it was soooo good and made my day so much better. My son also got a reindeer cookie which he loved, it was beautiful. I cannot say I'll be back anytime soon, I'll definitely be open to trying them out again and seeing if maybe the experience will be better and not only about aesthetics or how pretty everything looks, but on flavor and authenticity.
