When we first sat down we were waiting for a while before anyone even came and spoke to us. There were a lot of things in the table leaving little room for our food and resting. When it comes to our food my eggs were cold and waffle soggy, my mother's food her eggs were undercooked and soda flat. _ Could be a one time thing but based on first impressions don't recommend. read more

My friends and I decided to meet here for an early breakfast before a busy weekend. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, allow us to have easy conversation. Payton, our server was very attentive and friendly. The food was flavorful and deliciously seasoned. The coffee was to be desired. It tasted a bit burnt and when I received my dish, it was on the verge of lukewarm and cold. read more

Was really looking forward to brunch at First Watch on 64th. Ugh...the kitchen was 45 minutes behind. Turned out it was 45 plus... We had just hiked so we were hangry!! Had to leave to get something in our stomachs. Not surprised this location does not have good reviews. Guys your sister locations are kicking it! It's got to the management. It's not good!! Please fix it! You have a great location, food...fix the service. We want to come back! read more

This is one of my favorite chains in Colorado. Their fresh juice menu is always so good and as fresh as possible. For food, I usually go with the lemon ricotta pancakes, but try the specials if they are running them. The place is always quite busy too, so it makes the excellent service I've always received even more impressive. Solid place! read more

We go there a lot good food. I am done with First Watch though. The last two times the staff weee cleaning the floor near us Moved the chairs and tables. The noise created was screeching and loud. Stop the noise of moving the tables and chairs. We are paying good money for good food Only to be ruined by the screeching of chairs and tables over the floor. STOP THE NOISE AND WE WILL BE BACK OTHERWISE IT IS FOREVER GOODBYE read more

Service was good and we enjoyed the dishes they recommend. Don't understand all the negative reviews we thought the food was really good and had good sauces and flavors with fresh ingredients nicely plated. If you just order eggs then I guess you should expect eggs. Wasn't busy during our visit so maybe that's where all the negative reviews come from. Only negative for me was the fruit cup that came with my Chickichonga was underwhelming in size and selection in comparison to what came on the French toast. read more

I had dined several times at the Lakewood location at Belmar and give the Belmar location 5 stars. Unfortunately the food at the Arvada location was not very good. I took family members out for lunch. Service and environment I have no complaints about. However I will not return to this location. Had I not enjoyed the Lakewood location would not return to this business and family stated the same. read more

The food is usually pretty good; service is decent unless they're busy and it gets slow. Sundays mornings are a bit crazy. Overall it's a good place for breakfast and lunch. read more

I gotta say it's...ok, service here is fine everyone is nice wait time is a little long but it's alright. Food is very middle of the road not terrible not award winning. My partners plate had cold eggs but it was fixed very quickly so overall I'm not upset just not thrilled read more

Great food, great service that was beyond my expectations! Maggie and Chris were amazing to work with on Valentine's Day to help make it a special day for my sweet 88 y/o mom Thanks a million!! read more

This used to be a great breakfast place as "The Egg and I" before "First Watch" bought it now it's a place to go when the other breakfast places in the area have too long of a wait. The service is slow and totally indifferent to any problems you might have. The other First Watch in Arvada by Wadsworth and I70 is a wonderfully run restaurant with extremely professional personnel so it has to start with the management. They were bad before the pandemic and surprisingly worse when we went today. Today my wife had a frittata rustica which she has often enjoyed at good first watch. It did not have cheese on top as it should nor tomatoes inside. It was dry and the bottom was burnt. The server just said she was sorry and brought a ramekin of sour cream which we were charged for. When we paid the bill, the young lady at the register asked how everything was, but didn't care either. I read a review saying the people that complain are just old and can't use the app. That's sounds like it was written by management. We're not old and the app has nothing to do with it. So when you go here and have a typically unpleasant breakfast, make sure you write a review. They even ask you to on their chalkboard. Although I would guess they're at least smart enough to only want the good ones read more

This review is for the location on 64th in Arvada. 1 star food 1 star staff Don't see this place lasting long. Wouldn't go back if someone payed me to. read more

Holy cow SOOOOO disappointing. We did call ahead and then checked in but she forgot to check us in on the iPad so we waiting an extra 30 min. Then we w ONE HOUR for our breakfast and then one of us got the wrong food. Not going back to this location. Horrible .... with no apologies for any of this We went back and service was so much better and the food was good - eggs were cooked wrong but didn't send back . Wasn't a big deal read more

Great Breakfast! The manager was very polite, helpful. Always great service!

Plan on a 30 min wait to sit while they can't be bothered to clear tables. Plan on waiting 10 min to be noticed by lethargic and awkward wait staff. Plan on waiting 45 to 60 min for your order of French toast to come out. Plan on your food being luke warm when you get it. Plan one the ingredients to be cheap quality. Such as razor thin bacon. Plan on substantial disappointment at a corporate renovation of a neighborhood classic made trendy and hip by equity backed rookies with cliche levels of failure..incompetence and proftmongering. You only get 2 stars cuz the coffee is good and they left a carafe on the table. read more

The food is good when it's good. The service is completely terrible and unacceptable. The first time we came awesome service and awesome food. The second , and third time we waited forever for cold food . Sadly , we will not be returning until first watch gets their crap together . The staff is friendly, but what is the deal here ? Hire more staff or get new management . Arvada needs a good breakfast place . Update : nothing has changed here . Went back and food was remade 3 times , and still cold . Potatoes were reheated and came out burnt . Probably will not be returning for a long time. read more

Good food, good atmosphere, good service except for the training waitress. Will def go back!

No complaints. GF and I took to yelp to find breakfast, we like a mom n pop place with hollandaise, we're not too picky, but the restaurant has to have things on the menu that we can't make at home. If your whole menu is scrambled eggs, home fries, and biscuits we'll pass bc I can knock that out in 30 minutes. First Watch didn't disappoint. I had a Benedict and she had something with this amazing green chili that (wait for it) didn't have pork or pork fat, and, as usual, I liked what she ordered more than my own, but they were both great, the space in old town is classically cute and our server was good not great, but no complaints, and I'm kinda shocked this place hasn't been reviewed more. So if you're looking for homemade breakfast without an absurd wait in a cool space for a reasonable price my God come to First Watch. read more

Wait times were standard for Sunday morning. Food was good, prices were ok - especially considering the costs these days. Service? Exceptional! Danielle provided attentive and excellent service AND was wonderfully pleasant. She is the reason we will return. read more

Love this place for breakfast and lunch Food is consistently excellent We have had Danielle serve us several times and she always provides excellent service read more

We had a great experience thanks to Maggie. She went to great length to make us happy because their waffle machine was down. We will be back asking for her service again! read more

Just took my girls here for my daughter's birthday. The food was excellent but the service pretty much killed the whole experience. It felt like our server didn't want our table bc I had a baby. I had to ask to finally get a server and then ask for every single thing after that (like water, syrup for my daughter's pancakes, etc.). He never came to check on us so I kept having to flag down other servers. This guy needs some serious customer service training. But like I said the food was great. read more

Wow, where do I even start? From the amazing service to the scrumptious food, I recommend this place for everyone. You'll have the best experience if you get served by Sam. read more

The food is fantastic, but today our server wasn't so great! starting off he seemed very nice! He took our order and everything was fine until our order started coming out! They switched sausage for bacon, yes they brought out sausage. mixed up my granddaughters breakfast, then brought out the wrong order for my daughter. Mistakes happen, yes, but when my daughter mentioned to him that she still didn't get what she ordered and by this time the rest of us were done eating and she had just got part of her order! My daughter asked Austin, our server to just remove the rest of her order from the check he copped an attitude ! Not once were our coffee or water refilled. Again, the food was great but having to continuously correct our server, because he messed up, for him to have an attitude , it's sad! When the guy who took our payment asked how it was, I told him that the service sucked and our tip will reflect that. The guy told Austin what I had said, so to add insult to injury, Austin began harassing us as we left. Just own up to your mistakes Austin and don't start an argument as your customers are quietly leaving! Do a better job, Austin, and your customers won't have to complain! read more

It's pretty simple really. Our food was cold and the server passed by so quickly (How does it taste?) and rushed off before we could answer. Yeah, we could have found someone to make it right but it really should not be necessary. read more

Awful experience at the Arvada location. Food took 25 minutes to come out even though the restaurant was half full. My food came out 5 minutes after my two kids and was cold. I ordered eggs Benedict which of course isn't good cold. I waited for the waitress to come back for 5 minutes, but she did not return to check if the food was ok. I walked up to the host and said the food was cold and it took 25 minutes to get my food, not sure if she was on a smoke break, but I hadn't seen her come in and out of the kitchen with regularity. He said she's trying. He then found her and within earshot said this guy said his food was cold and he said you were on a smoke break. Of course I heard him and said, you don't need to make comments, but my food obviously sat for quite a long time as my eggs fully congealed and the bread and salmon were cold. He reiterated that they were trying. I told the waitress to just cancel the order and that I was going to just let my boys finish their pancakes. After paying and getting ready to leave, I said to the host on the way out that it didn't need to be handled like that and that his attitude could have been different. He said ok and we left. As a business owner I would have been mortified if I had an employee be rude to a customer for a mistake we made. read more

Daughters took the wife there twice first time overpriced subpar food very slow service, Second time Mother's Day very long wait, that was to be expected but then food comes out cold undercooked and again super slow service. Not going here again. read more

They just need to fix a couple of of things and they would get higher ratings. 1 More attentive staff - not bad but not checking after the food was brought out is a major problem. 2 Food was barely warm. Also a major problem. It tasted ok but when all warmth was gone after a couple of bites it isn't so good. 3 Not bringing syrup for pancakes is not a biggie for me but they still should have brought it. The last 2 items could have been easily fixed if they just would have come by to check. read more

Great waitstaff and hostessing crew with Teague and Amy at the top - genuine friendly demeanor, warmth, and competence. I vote for a raise. I hadn't been back for a long time. I usually order the eggs benedict and the side salad that comes with it is a healthy complement - order dressing on the side - it is potent but delicious. I tried the cheesy grits but whoa they're cheesy. Only a dab is needed IMHO. I missed finding the kale drink I love. I couldn't think of the name at the time but I hope it's on the summer menu. The rest of the crew I encountered gave me the feeling they enjoyed being there. I'm sorry I didn't get another's name, but Jeremy's smile is contagious and Erica's ease in hostessing made the breakfast experience a good start to my drive back over Berthoud Pass. read more

Staff is extremely rude when picking up orders to go. Ordered online this first time and will never do that again, or goin to sit down to eat. read more

I was there Friday the 4th of August and with my family, and I was very impressed with the patio service, and the young man that served! I think all of the staff I observed were outstanding. I will recommend that friends and family come to your lovely place. read more

Great food, great service, and the manager is very attentive. Friendly atmosphere and it is close to hone. We got to meet Clody and he made sure our experience was the best. Thank you for being a great Arvada breakfast location. read more

They just have the best food ever! All there good is so fresh and so delicious. They have so many options and they have sweet things and savory things. There are just so many things to choose from and it is all so delicious. I recommend because there food is the best. read more

Love this place, prefer dine in , but also have been happy with carry out. Jeff is the Regional Manager- has been in the food business since the mid to late 80s and hands down the nicest guy you will ever meet.

Food and service are always on point when I go in here, whether I'm on my own or with my work team. I feel like it's super fast and friendly! I loved Egg & I, but am happy for this upgrade. People complaining during a pandemic about things not being perfect should probably just stay home. ‍ read more

I love first watch. This location is doing a great job. They are training there employees to deal with the challenges of a slower kitchen the employees all have a smile and they keep you updated. The food as always is fresh and hot. Busy on a Sunday but we didn't mind waiting with good bloody Mary's and coffee read more

First Watch - Farmhouse Hash with red peppers, mushrooms and spinach Delicious. First watch is doing a great job with their training of employees ! - American Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

I can't believe the negative reviews about the service here... I think it's older or uniformed people that don't have the app to check in and had to wait a long time. The food is great and the app to get seated is great because you can check in and see wait times on the way there. Very convenient and simple way to deal with high demand. The elevated egg sandwich is fantastic and everything else I've tried I'd highly recommend. read more

Went 2 First Watch today service terrible. Food under cooked floor dirty waitress rude. Waited at least 45 minutes 2 b served. Kitchen was closed 4 a long time since they were way behind. we have been 2 this place 3 times and all were bad experiences Don't know how they stay open. This was our last visit. Left half of my food since it was under cooked. The other First Watch off if Wadsworth is 100 per cent better. They seem 2 care about service. read more

This place in Arvada is completely overpriced for the food which was mediocre at best and the service was pretty bad. They run incomplete food ...so My eggs are getting cold while I i wait on my friends food to be delivered a while later. Waitress was incompetent. Nice but just kept forgetting things. I don't know why this place is so busy. This is my "last watch" at First Watch. read more

I have been here once before and the food was overpriced for what was given, and the service was not that great. For some reason I was craving breakfast food so I thought I would give it another chance. So I get in my car and start driving to the restaurant. I call to place my order for pickup, and come to find out they don't do over the phone ordering. People have to order online for pickup. Well that doesn't help me when I did not know you only did online ordering and I'm driving. God I wish there was an IHOP or village inn in the area read more
