Classic stop for a great, unique brunch. Beware, they always have a line out the door on weekends because they are a very popular spot, so be ready to wait. Once inside, they have a wide selection of sweet and savory breakfast options. I really enjoy that they have new dishes seasonally. I got the seasonal dish, the chilaquiles (with no meat) and the portion was big. The side of queso made it awesome! I also highly recommend the broccoli cheddar soup, it is so rich and creamy. Lot of vegetarian options as well and you can customize dishes. Coffee is served hot, and they also have many unique cocktails/juices. read more

Super delicious! Their regular menu is great, but they usually have a holiday/seasonal menu with different specials that's worth a try. Coffee is good with unlimited refills. It's a great spot for a brunch date! Price is reasonable, parking is a shared parking lot but we usually don't have issues with it. They have the option to pay at the table via the receipt. read more

--Location/Parking-- Located in near 20. Easy to find. Parking is plentiful. You just might have to walk to find a good spot or park very far. Usually difficult to find parking during morning of Friday through the weekend. --Ambience-- Cafe crossed between IHOP and Lazy Dog but with a very morning decor and family theme appropriate --Service/Staff-- Varies per location and shift. No issues with the staff, but I never get the same staff every time I visited. Location wait time can be over an hour on the weekends. --Products/Service-- Great place for breakfast in my opinion. I have not tried their lunch menu or anything besides the breakfast selection --Capacity-- Indoors can hold 50 plus people inside with various table size. --Overall-- Great breakfast spot. The is a chain so there a carbon copy at every location. read more

Came here with some of my battle buddies from the army, and First Watch was the perfect spot for brunch. The place was a bright and welcoming environment and we're greeted and seated right away. We started off with some of their fresh juices. I highly recommend the Morning Meditation (that turmeric/ginger kick is great) and my buddy got the infamous Purple Haze. A buddy of mine talks highly about it. The butterfly pea flower tea makes the Purple Haze look awesome, and it's actually really refreshing. Let's talk about their chocolate chip pancake! They aren't joking when they say "enormous." It was the size of the plate and loaded with chips perfect for the table to pick at. Now, I love eggs, so I had to get their Elevated Egg Sandwich. This was a hit. The combination of Gruyère, smashed avocado, and that brioche bun makes it way better than your standard breakfast sandwich. My buddy got the Eggs Benedict with Bob's Red Mill Red Grits, the Benedict was cooked perfectly with a great hollandaise, but the real star for me was the side of grits. You can tell they use high-quality Bob's Red Mill it was so creamy and seasoned just right. Overall, the service was great, which is impressive because this place can get busy. It was the perfect environment to sit back, eat well, and enjoy some time with the guys. read more

If you're not starting your meal with the million dollar bacon then you are missing out! We came here for a delicious but lighter breakfast and truthfully it hit the spots. We joined the waitlist online to abate sitting in the line at the restaurant as sometimes they can have a longer wait time. We started with quick and friendly service by being greeted with smiling faces. Truthfully there are so many options to choose from that fill all the breakfast cravings from savory and salty to sweet and finger licking good. I usually get the Floridian French Toast but switched it up with the classic eggs Benedict. I've never had a bad breakfast here and truly enjoy each time I come! read more

Nice atmosphere. Family friendly, great quality food, fresh ingredients and plenty of options. Service was good and no wait for bar seating. There is typically a little wait otherwise. They have a great birthday reward program also. I got the trifecta waffle, chicken sausage and eggs. The blueberry compote atop is delicious (served on side). The morning meditation drink was phenomenal. (Tumeric, ginger, orange, beet etc) with an antioxidant shot. I'd visit again. read more

the food is really good and the service was great! There is a small bar which I guess you can eat at. they have cocktails too. There is an outside patio. They have a variety of table sizes. The only downside is the cost. $14 for the standard breakfast is one thing, but then add $4.00 for a coke or tea and then tax and you have a $20 breakfast or lunch before the tip. With this high rent location I guess this is to be expected. I'll be back but i can't be a regular. read more

ambiance is like any breakfast place, family friendly with country style decor. service was a little inconsistent with how long it took to take our orders then constant checking in after that. restaurant is usually busy since theyre only open til early afternoon. I got the seasonal pumpkin pancake breakfast and husband got tropical French toast. food was good, I always enjoy the seasonal things they have on menu. I didnt want the chicken sausage they had paired with my dish and asked for pork sausage...the server said they dont typically do that since the pork patties werent always available or on the menu....i thought that was really weird but she ended up subbing it. so service is a hit or miss here, other staff seemed very friendly. I really liked that let you pay at the table so no waiting in line or gaving to interact with pur server more than we had to after giving us our check. read more

Busy day here but, our large party was seated pretty quickly. Ordered off the spring menu and got the socal breakfast hash. It was very good and more than I could eat at one time. We also had the coffee(... a lot of it), which is good here. Overall great experience - kind waitress, clean restaurant, lots of options, everything came quickly and tasted as expected. read more

Huge menu with plenty of breakfast/brunch options and even a portion of the menu with health conscious meals (which I personally appreciated). Nice servers and customer service throughout my visit. If you're looking for a healthier option the avocado toast and eggs are a great fulfilling choice. Highly recommend getting "in line" online ahead of time if you're coming on the weekends. As long as you're not in a rush and willing to wait, this is a great breakfast spot! read more

They are definitely busy but I did appreciate they put you on the waitlist and take your number so they can text when your table is ready. The menu is pretty extensive and they have seasonal items. I'm a class breakfast girlie (egg meat potatoes). I opted for the trifecta that allowed me to get most of what I wanted except the potatoes so I ordered that as a side. The scrambled eggs were light and fluffy. The chicken sausage had a good flavor. The trifecta also comes with either a pancake or waffle. I got the waffle that was the perfect balance of fluffy and crispy and came with what I think was a blue berry sauce which I enjoyed. The potatoes were well seasoned and crispy. I even loved their takeout box! Would recommend for brunch....something for everyone read more

Ordered a Market Veggie Sandwich on line. Apparently it was very close to closing but the order was taken. When I picked it up it was far different than I've had there before. There was no basil pesto and no mayo. Not to mention the sandwich filling was cold. Don't take the order if you're not going to make it properly. read more

I've been here twice now on Sundays and it is always packed but we sit at the bar with no wait, and it seems those waiting for tables is relatively short. The menu is expansive with great seasonal menu items for both food and drinks. The million dollar bacon is a must and is especially good in the million dollar Bloody Mary. All the food has been phenomenal with the steak and bacon burrito being my favorite so far with just so much flavor. Th portions for everything are more than plenty and we've always left with a to go box. read more

Parents and I decided to dine here while they were visiting; we are all big into breakfast foods and having tried out First Watch in other states, we figured to give this location a try. The service was great & our waitress was very friendly; something that seems to be consistent among all First Watches I've been to. The menu were about the same, not sure if the seasonal entrees are shared amongst the chains, but the food was delicious. Now I'm a bigger eater and as breakfast foods are my favorite entrees to dine on, I ordered a lot. I got myself the wild berry lavender French toast, Lemon ricotta pancakes, side of potatoes, turkey sausage, 4 eggs, and biscuits with gravy. Yup, I was very full, but I finished everything because it was just that good! The lavender berry compote wasn't overly sweet. Spreading a little on your French toast like butter gave it the perfect balance; I can see overly applying would make it too sweet losing the taste of the French toast; same with the lemon ricotta onto the pancakes. The batter is great, the pancakes have a nice rich taste to it you don't want to dilute by over applying sweets. The biscuit was soft inside but has that crunchy texture outside the way I like it and all the sides I had were pretty good; can't go wrong with it and tasted the same as other chains I've dined in. There is a mobile order option and I've done that as well. Quick order to pick up turn around time so I didn't wait long at all. Dining in, the restaurant wasn't too noisy or crowded, but also I went early in the morning. They get packed real quick, so I recommend going for an early breakfast to beat the traffic, especially on the weekends. read more

First Watch is my favorite brunch restaurant in Augusta. Food: My go to dish is the Tri-Fecta, the Belgian waffle is my favorite along with the house made preserves. The chicken sausage patties are delicious also. Service: The wait staff are generally friendly and accommodating even when the place is jammed packed. Ambiance: I enjoy the modern decor and the easy going vibe which adds to the overall experience. read more

Flavors are out of this world! We have eaten there about three times. We will always go back. Granted, the prices are a little high for breakfast...HOWEVER they use fresh ingredients and the food is amazing. Today I ordered the chile and chorizo omelette and my husband ordered the blt eggs Benedict. We both had skillet potatoes. His was hot and steamy. Mine was not as hot (first time for that) but tasted amazing. We also had coffee and a drink- morning meditation with turmeric, orange juice, ginger, lemon juice and a few more things. It was very "bright." I recommend this place. It's usually busy and worth the wait! read more

First time here, we stopped for breakfast was told 1.0 hour wait time. It was actually 30 minutes. Got in , got seated, waitress came over within a few minutes. Took our drink order and food order they were so busy we had to wait a few minutes for our food. So when our food came out everything looked delicious service was okay, they were super busy tho. That's maybe why. We had gotten four different breakfast dishes I would have to say all the food was good and very colorful and fresh. We had gotten two juices the kale one, & one the beets. Delicious! We will definitely be back again soon! The place was clean. Four different bathrooms which was nice. read more

Let's just say I'm not a fan. Food looked better than it tasted. Carly was not the best server. They give you water with no ice or straws. It was freezing cold, my big pet peeve. It's a fairly large place and open so it was extremely loud. One toilet in each bathroom. I saw several women going into the men's restroom. I will definitely not be visiting again. Better places out there to waste my calories. Two thumbs down. read more

If I could give this place no stars I would. This place used to be amazing for breakfast and brunch. Had the worst experience there on Monday. I would never go back nor would I recommend this place to anyone. Absolutely rude service, mediocre food and over priced for what you get.

FOOD: *Drool* everything my family and I had looked and tasted phenomenal. SERVICE: Outstanding, very polite, respectful, and professional. We have been here a couple of times and each server is top notch. ATMOSPHERE: Very nice, neutral with a touch of country class. CLEANLINESS: Super clean, top and bottom, trust me I looked. Couple small things, but that is my old school military talking. RESTROOMS: Looks and smells good. WAIT TIME: No wait this time, but I highly recommend coming early (before 9 am) on Sunday day or you will hit church rush and the wait time sky rockets. OTHER: Kristen did an amazing job, thank you for the smiles so early in the morning... GREAT job! read more

I've been meaning to try First Watch for months now. DH and I finally got there this past weekend and it was outstanding. Rising early and working out on a Saturday deserved this type of reward. I'm glad we arrived before the rush I'd encountered on prior visits. The coffee wasn't great according to my husband the coffee snob, but as long as it didn't stick to the cup... I had the "Inspired Italian" with added mushrooms and roast potatoes. It was perfection and just a little too large for me to finish. DH happily volunteered as a clean-up crew after he neatly polished off his AM Superfoods Bowl. It looked too healthy by half. Now that I've got the timing right, this may become a semi-regular thing. Only occasionally since I'm working on my weight. read more

Believe you me, I had no idea how to rate this review. Everything about the experience was weird, special, unbelievable and just crazy. So here we go: I booked us a reservation before we got there and when we arrived, I was shocked by the crowd. First Watch in Augusta is located in a shopping plaza I was not familiar with. Seemed to be fairly new. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by the hostess and I told her who and was and she said I will text you when your table is ready SOOOOO about 20 mins later we were seated in a booth for ALL 6 of us. Right then I knew things were getting shaky. So my husband was offered a chair to sit at the corner. DUUUHHHH. Anyway we were greeted by on waitress and she took our drink order. I ordered the purple drink cant remember the name SMH but it had lemonade in it. PURPLE HAZE Remember, its 6 of us and she never pulled out a pad to write anything down. CRAZY right! So, the drinks arrive and she began to take our breakfast order, NO PAD remember that part. I ordered the Frittata Rustica, which was a veggie frittata, chicken sausage and I wanted a blueberry pancake, but it came with grits or potatoes. I opted for the grits. About 20 minutes later our orders started coming out pancakes first, then food. My grits never came until I begged for them, but I had potatoes which I gave to my husband. When the grits finally came they were cheese on them, which I didn't order, but I didn't put up a fuss. Out of the 6 of us, only 4 people got food!!! I know RIGHT!! The other couples' food never never never arrived. I know right!! The waitress was missing in action for about 15 minutes as the rest of us ate. We requested a manager from the hostess and when the manager came, she couldn't believe the others food never came! She was very disappointed in the waitress and remember, I don't think this would have happened if that young lady wouldn't have WROTE it DOWN!!! I KNOW RIGHT, lol. SMH, you cant make this stuff up! The manager was very apologetic and settled everyone's bill at no cost. When the waitress finally returned, we were about out the door talking with management and she told her, you can take those plates back in the kitchen. I know right. I truly believe she forgot to placed their order because she didn't write it down!! That was craziness. But thanks for the meal, btw. Food amazing, experience not the best. Thanks First Watch. Here are some pictures read more

Unlike my previous experience on a different First Watch location, I do feel this location's food kind of goes a bit further on the "something different" front. Don´t get me wrong: it's still a perfectly normal breakfast meal, I just didn't get the "I could make this myself at home" feeling I sometimes get. The service was great, even though the place was crowded (though, maybe precisely because of that, since we didn't sit at a table, but at the bar, because the wait time would have been of over 45 minutes, should we had chosen to get a table. the eggs were on point, the meat and potatoes were delicious, the toast was... well, it was just a toast, but everything else exceeded expectations, even the coffee. read more

We used to eat here frequently when this place first opened. I absolutely love the variety and healthy options! The servers are always friendly and attentive. I like the outdoor dining option and the place is always cheery and bright. HOWEVER, I have not been back in a long time because they can't get their health inspection scores high enough consistently to make me feel comfortable eating here. There are plenty of other brunch places in town that I'm not afraid of getting sick at. read more

I don't recommend doing to-go on a weekend. We tried this past Sunday because the wait was 2 hours - even with checking in early on the app. They told us 1 hour for our food over the phone, which honestly we should have just said never mind to. Came about 10-15 minutes before the hour and food was cold when we got it. Nothing was hot, real disappointing. We would have placed the order online but you can't order kid's menu items, which is a bit ridiculous. Honestly if the food came out way before the expected time, you'd think they'd call as a courtesy, but no, nothing. We've been pretty disappointed with the care we've received when dining in as well, so I think it's safe to say we're going to slow our roll on coming here. The early check in and being seated is simple, but the servers we seem to be getting get lost talking to other employees, and so we're left sitting there either waiting to be greeted or for our check to be dropped off. read more

You all already know this place is amazing!! If you're visiting, you can't go wrong with this brunch spot! My fav is the smoked salmon & roasted veggies frittata and the Kale Tonic is absolutely the best. It is so refreshing. The service is normally timely and polite. It is charming and organic inside. If you dine in, you can find a quiet solo table by the window and it it also great to bring friends and family! It's warming up, so I'll be excited to try the outdoor seating. Today I tried the Superfood Kale Salad, it was pretty good and I loved the dressing. I also tried the Purple Haze! Perfect drink for spring! read more
