    Menu and million dollar bloody Mary's
    Kylie A.

    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!

    This morning I met a good friend for breakfast . I suggested First Watch. I ordered this beautiful beverage ! PURPLE HAZE Lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender. Tasty ! Full of flavor . I sipped it to savor the layers of flavor . I had the Turkey sausage gravy and biscuits . Divine ! Our server was attentive , knowledgeable about the menu , and friendly .

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Awesome eggs Benedict and pancakes are amazing as well. Super clean restaurant with excellent service and I always enjoy stopping in there when I'm in town.

    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.

    When looking for a breakfast spot, First Watch is always a great choice. I have gone to this restaurant a number of times in the past month and every thing I go I get great service and good food. On the weekends, be sure to get on the waiting list because there's usually quite a wait.

    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.

    SYRUUUUUUP!!!!!

    Best syrup ever! They warm it up! Brought out promptly for subsequent taste testing of syrup quality.

    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.

    Perfect brunch spot! I got the Carne Asada Hash, the meat was a tad dry, but I still enjoyed it. My mom got the Raspberry Lemon Ricotta French Toast. That was fire. Service was great, very attentive! Would come back!

    From the moment we walked in it felt like a fine dining experience. Not your average brunch. No…read moresir! Starting with our drinks, we both had coffee-which I would return for the coffee alone! It was bold, curious, mysterious and honestly had me asking for the name of the coffee before I left! We had a server in training, so two servers! Both were outstanding! Quick to refill our drinks and remove plates that were empty. The food.....let me just say I not only spoke with management, I also was able to speak with the head chef to give my praise. I am not one to sing false praise, trust me. When I tell you I have never, ever, had a brunch as delicious as his!!! I am a French toast connoisseur, and his was a 12/10! There was not one bite of food that wasn't outstanding. I was truly impressed, with his creativity and his attention to detail because it shined like a diamond from the front of house all the way down to the sweet lady filling the cakes when I was taking my pictures for this review! "Let me get it all full and pretty now before you get those pictures!" I mean, if she wasn't just the sweetest thing, and took 100% pride in her work. Same with the gentleman working the omelet station. He came in the day before to prep the fish (which is a long day of work!) The love they put into each dish truly shines through effortlessly! With permission, personally, I would suggest they rename their Sunday Brunch to "Soul-filled Sunday Brunch" because #1 I left ready to go to sleep! #2 I had a religious experienced during that meal, in blessings and dining I have only ever had at Church Potlucks! #3 It elevated some fancy and some common foods to such heights, I was expect to be hearing gospel music while I ate! #4 Personally, I hope heaven's banquet table is much like today's-full of love, flavor and most importantly-community! Everyone from other diners enjoying their brunch to servers, sous chefs to the top man himself-not one person wasn't smiling from ear to ear. It's been near a decade since I've seen that many smiling people all in one place! While I will have to limit how often I come for Brunch lest my clothes start shrinking! Edgar's by far, takes the trophy for elevated dining experiences in Augusta, Ga! Best of all, a percentage of all their sales goes back directly into Helms College (located in the same shopping center.) Helms college offers hands-on education in culinary arts, health services, and industrial trades like HVAC/R. Keep up the amazing work, I eagerly look forward to dining with you again!

The service was absolutely top-notch, the food was excellent, and the ambiance was certainly very mellow. Our server, Cassandra, was very friendly and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain the menu and made some great recommendations. Their menu is a southern American fusion for sure, putting unique spins on classic dishes. Here's what we had: Drinks: -Bottle of: Vitiani rosso Appetizer: -Charcuterie board (a la carte): -Bresaola (pork) -The drunken goat (Spanish cheese) -The red dragon cheddar cheese -Bacon Jam Dinner: -Pork loin chop -Confit duck pot pie -Beet carpaccio Salad The charcuterie board was very unique and delicious. Afterwards, my lady, and I split the beet salad, her dad had the pork loin, and her mom had the pot pie. Everything was absolutely delicious. After we finished, I met the owners, and told them how much we truly enjoyed it all. They were very appreciative of my compliments. We would certainly stop by here again.

Sarah was very sweet and nice to talk to. Everyone had a great time and loved the food! I can say we are fans and definitely coming back. Thanks for making our dining experience wonderful. Especially my parents, they hardly go out to eat and loved their meals.
