    Blte again! The food is always great. No wait to be seated on a Saturday. However the service took a while for them to take our order. There were two tables seated later than we were but got served first. Clean, almost full crowd. No military discount. :(

    Breakfast hash
    Kyle J.

    I've always liked coming to First Watch. My wife and I came in for breakfast and we ordered the seasonal donuts appetizer. (They're amazing) we also ordered a breakfast hash and the biscuit and sausage gravy meal. I don't have problems with First Watch, but every time we have gone the eggs are a little undercooked. I don't know how or why but they just are. My meal also had a lot of oil so I pushed that aside. But I still enjoyed it. Regardless I'm still gonna go and get their food from time to time when I can afford it.

    First Watch is a favorite for breakfast, brunch or lunch. I love the veggie omelette and their frittatas. Great service in a relaxed atmosphere. They always have a seasonal special for something fresh and different!

    Cheesecake Holey Donuts With Nutella®

    Amazing breakfast spot. Family has been coming here for some time and we really enjoy it. You have to be careful to check the wait times to avoid a lengthy delay. Waitress was extremely helpful and all the staff was great. We enjoy the casual family friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back

    Elote breakfast burrito
    Vivian L.

    Got a couple of the seasonal items. Really liked the elote burrito. Would recommend getting that if they keep it on the menu. Got the caramel crunch iced coffee and took one sip. Don't order that. It was so bad. Fresh toast was okay. Service was okay. Our waiter didn't really check on us

    We got here just before the Sunday morning crowd came in! Which was nice. Anyway first time trying this place and it was overall pretty good. I got the same thing that i usually get from other places. Eggs Benedict "classic" or whatever you want to call it with added spinach. I enjoyed my meal and the service. Our waitress was very kind and seemed genuinely nice. The things I did not like was that the cups they gave us for water were dirty. Also they charge $4.99 for coffee. Not for the table but for each person. I had half a cup only because the pot was on the table. But yeah overall I'd probably go back but there a few other places I'd rather try.

    Had a delicious breakfast with my husband the other morning. Jose's service was wonderful, including any additional support staff that helped our table. The ambiance was lovely and very pleasant. Highly recommend the egg-cellent breakfast sandwich. It was the first time I'd had it here and it did not disappoint.

    Honey caramel crunch cold brew
    Dan R.

    Always glad when I travel to an area where there is a First Watch, and this Austin location did not disappoint. Great service from Jose, fun to give the new Double Crunch Breakfast Tacos and Honey Caramel Crunch Cold Brew a try. The tacos were so stuffed they were a bit hard to eat - a good problem! The cold brew was nice but waaaay to sweet, and I'd still order it again

    Myranda R.

    Food was absolutely amazing. I got the Elote Breakfast Burrito as a bowl with extra potatoes and It was AMAZING. all boys got trifecta and loved it. Boyfriend tried to Strawberry tres leches french toast and LOVED IT! Even shared it with friends. Service was perfect. they are very attentive and quick with everything. Ambiance was perfect. I couldn't have been happier

    Farmhouse hash
    Kiera L.

    Delicious food! Got the Farmhouse Hash which tasted very fresh, as well as the million dollar bacon. Everything was delicious! Service was great, they were very attentive! And while the place was very busy, it still seemed to stay clean and flow smoothly. You can tell it's being ran very well.

    The works omelette
    Thea W.

    The wait for 6 people wasn't long at all especially on a Sunday. Our server was fantastic! The omelette was great, the waffles were fantastic, the blueberry cornbread was delicious! We also tried the strawberry tres leches French toast was wayyy too sweet for us and had too much Carmel. The mint moca iced coffee was really good! We did notice a black mild spot on the ceiling which was quite unpleasant but overall it was great!

    Maple Bacon Croissant Sammy
    Angie G.

    What a great brunch experience at First Watch! We were sat immediately, service from Sahu was Amazing!! We ordered the seasonal Maple Croissant Sammy, side of potatoes with another side of Banana granola almond crunch pancake was Delicious. Gees the food and service was exceptional. Thank you so much we will continue to come. We visit the Round Rock location very often. This location is top notch.

    Blt egg Benedict
    Audrey K.

    They sat us really quickly but they didn't bring out the condiment basket for us. I saw every other table outside was sat with it but us. They also took long to give us our creamer, and they gave us paper towels for napkins. The food was alright, the hollandaise sauce didn't have much flavor. I did like that they had a natural appeal, using farm fresh ingredients for sure but, I think they could get better. They are a new business so I'll come back and try it again sometime.

    See all

I do not recommend anything over any other dish but I have had the Crab stuffed Chicken more times than I can count.

Wind down your meal with a decadent piece of caramel apple bourbon cobbler, perhaps to go? You're sleeping like a baby and talking about your meal the next day! If you have family visiting and want to show off take them to Sunday brunch. It's served family style and is a homerun everytime! Trust! Absolutely fantastic food!

    Vida Verde Kitchen -- A Hidden Gem That's Worth Finding…read more Austin is overflowing with trendy restaurants where the food is decent, the lighting is aggressive, and the wait time requires a light snack and a personality shift. I tend to avoid those places. Vida Verde Kitchen, thankfully, is not that. Tucked into a great area but slightly hidden (the kind of spot you feel proud to "discover"), Vida Verde feels like a restaurant that exists for people who actually want to eat, not just post. The menu is a thoughtful fusion of Tex-Mex, fresh flavors, and Americana--familiar enough to be comforting, but creative enough to keep things interesting. Yes, it's a bit overpriced, but the food earns its confidence. The guacamole is an absolute must, and anything leaning Tex-Mex is consistently solid. I can vouch. The wait staff deserves real credit here--knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the food and experience, which goes a long way these days. The atmosphere hits that Austin sweet spot: industrial touches softened by lush green foliage. It's stylish without trying too hard, which is rare and appreciated. If I had one note? This place needs a happy hour and a few more solid specials. Do that, and Vida Verde becomes dangerous--in the best way. Overall: a unique, thoughtful restaurant that avoids the hype trap and delivers where it matters. Definitely worth your time (and thankfully, not hours of it).

The tacos also came with a very spicy salsa that I just had to take to go because it was soo good. If you want your money's worth, my sister recommended the shrimp fajitas as it comes with the most food and the shrimp was actually good. The service was fast and the waitress was very nice. It retained a lot of the old decor from Delucca which made it feel familiar, and it was nice and quiet.

He said they were heavy on the honey butter and light on the chicken and waffles. This dish didn't come with any sides or other food. 2. Both kids (despite my advice) ordered breakfast. The eggs were ordered over easy and unfortunately they came broken and already runny (pic). The bacon on one was so very very crisp and on the other it was floppy. The hash browns were cooked in so much oil that it felt like you were eating oil - not potatoes. The biscuits were dry. The jalapeño gravy was tasty but we needed a lot more of it to make up for the dry biscuit. 3. Finally, I disliked my food last time which is why we hadn't been back for 4 years but everyone deserves another chanc. Today I ordered off their "specials" menu and got redfish.

The green beans under the fish were cooked well. I thought at least I can eat the green beans. Then I took another bite and noticed the SALT. I love my salt. I'm known to salt everything but these were just so so salty I couldn't enjoy them. I did eat them because I was hungry (and later my son's leftover egg dish). The other patios all had a wait.
