We decided to come here on a Sunday morning and knew it might be crowded so we went online to make a reservation. However, upon arrival it was fairly crowded, but no line. It should be mentioned, that the noise level here is fairly high with all the patrons and children. They do have outdoor seating, including both an inside and outside breakfast bar. The first bar of measurement is the coffee. We were served a dark roast, which is somewhat comparable to what you get at Starbucks, but I'm not a fan of those creamer pods 3*. The good news is that they bring you an endless pot of coffee. We ordered the blueberry lemon cornbread in hopes that it come out first, but they forgot it. When it arrived, it was topped with a lemon custard. I'd recommend skipping the pancake and go with this choice, although it did remind me of that Jiffy cornbread with freeze dried blueberries. We chose the Athlete and the trifecta. Those choices were basically good and some yelpers draw comparisons to Denny's, but we thought it was a little better. For the money, it's worth a return visit. Service was also attentive. You can pay with a QR code on your receipt or visit the checkout station where the tip screen starts at 18%. Some additional points of interest is the fact that you will have to ask for water, I was pleased to see that they do offer real maple syrup for an additional charge, no credit card fee and there is ample parking. They do have a lunch menu and they do offer a good selection cocktails. It also appears every review gets a business owner response. Check out the informative photos. read more

Great manager, great food, and I'm pleased This was my first time at this location. The service is speedy! I ordered from the seasonal menu . The menu is comprised of drinks and entres. I ordered the chimichuri steak and eggs hash, strawberry tes leches french toast, and the pineapple express. I got my food sooner than I expected. I love how spacious the restaurant is compared to other locations I've been to. The bathroom was clean as well. Pineapple express- This drink was tasty. I would definitely get it again. I was able to taste hints of everything without the pineapple taste being masked. Chimichuri steak and eggs hash- The star of the show and the twinkle in my eye. The steak was cooked perfectly . The dish was seasoned well. The potatoes melted into my mouth. All the ingredients went together perfectly! Strawberry tres leches french toast - I was eating bite after bite with bliss. Every bite was good. Suddenly I looked down and saw an object that in my French toast. It was a top from the whipped cream (I'm assuming) . It was definitely a plastic top. I did let the waitress know. My dish was remade. The manager made it right and I didn't have to pay for it.!! Overall my experience here was good and my food was good. Even with the mishap, it was no argument. It was a simple apology and correction (love it) I'll be back read more

Had to ask 3 times for water. Food was really salty. No vinaigrette on salad. 3 guys next to me ordered at the same time, 1 got food 10 mins after the others. I've enjoyed other locations. Living in Manor I was excited about the addition here but.... read more

First Watch has a great breakfast menu, they offer so many options and everything is fresh and perfectly cooked. I love eggs, Benedict and they offer several different types. I love their breakfast potatoes and aside from the fresh ingredients they use, their coffee is also so fresh. At this location our service was wonderful and since it's new, the dining area sparkles, they have a wonderful rustic farmhouse decor. read more

Super Close to Home and Very, very good. Service started off slow...honestly I dont think anyone told the waitress she had guests at her section....but finished off strong. Place is super clean and Inviting...Wife had Eggs, Taters and Toast...All very good...GD had a pancake...it was huge and a side of ham...And I had the Chilaquiles with Barbacoa...exceptionally good...will check to see if they have Goat Cheese next time around as this would make for an epic addition...Also grabbed a Lemon Blueberry Cornbread....Im the Only one who likes that flavor profile so it was a win, win for me.... also ordered 2 sides of Million Dollar Bacon.....Not a huge fan of maple style bacon, but there is something about this we truly enjoy, and its a must order everytime we go. read more

This is my favorite First Watch location. We joined the waitlist easily and were seated quickly, even on a busy morning. The service was amazing, attentive, and super helpful walking us through the menu and answering all our questions. The food was so flavorful. My eggs benedict came with the most delicious hollandaise sauce, the waffle was perfectly crispy (just how I like it!), and the omelets were pretty big if you ask me. Everything we ordered was fresh and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this location for anyone wanting a great breakfast experience! read more

Right now, the neighborhood is a desolate shell of empty buildings in a sprawling complex, but the arrival of First Watch is a solid anchor to start tying the place together. It's a classic brunch and lunch place with nicer plates, quality ingredients, healthier options, and something for the whole family. It's a good place for a casual meal in a clean, cool, inviting setting that leans into modern and hipster sensibilities. They've got free WiFi for all your studying and working needs, as long as you don't need to plug in. They'll even drop a whole stage of coffee to refill your own at will to keep you caffeinated through it all. As for vegan options, you need to ask for some modifications: -Market skillet without eggs or cheese -Veggie burger without a bun -Avocado toast without eggs -Oatmeal without milk Hopefully they'll consider more plant based options in the future. Right now, it's a comfortable, welcoming place to take your omnivore friends and family. read more

This place is kind of really a 3.6 star. The food here is passable/okay can't really go wrong. Better than what you find in a lower end place. The inside is decorated to have the farmhouse look. The staff were pretty nice and attentive. We came in during a very busy Sunday brunch hour and had to wait about 20 mins to be seated. Our food took even longer to arrive. Nothing from the menu really struck out to be so i just got a skillet. The food turned out to be pretty basic (something you can get in your own kitchen). If you are in the area and don't mind waiting but also need a bite, this place can't really go wrong. But I don't think I plan to return since nothing else in the menu interest me. At the moment they also don't serve dinner. read more

I would say it's a [3.5 stars]. There was some wait time to get a table for 2, which wasn't too bad. The interior is decorated in a modern farm house style, looks cute on the inside. Our server was sweet and attentive. The reasons for 3.5 stars as of now: * Very long wait for food -- about 30 min after we ordered everything. Pretty long time for casual and breakfast food. Not gonna lie, I was getting cranky because of being hungry. * My smoked salmon omelette was just okay. Pretty small compared to some other breakfast places I've been to. Needed hot sauce to make up to very small amount of seasoning. Lots of leafy greens on a plate but it doesn't make much difference. * The skillet dish that my boyfriend ordered wasn't served on a skillet, so it kind of doesn't make sense to call it a skillet. * Also you could see some of the back of the house from where we sat and there was lots of debris on the floor and a puddle of water.... read more

Stopped by First Watch for a breakfast and really enjoyed it! We had the pancakes with bacon and eggs - classic and well done. And I ordered the Healthy Turkey omelette (egg whites with cheese and veggies) and it was super tasty, light but satisfying. The coffee was smooth and the fresh green juice (no added sugar) was a refreshing, healthy touch. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed - perfect for a weekend morning. Will definitely be back! read more

We like First Watch for their high-quality ingredients and consistency of food preparation. Another unique First Watch deliverable is the seasoning on their foods. You almost never have to add salt, pepper or hot sauce. My hubby and I had breakfast at First Watch. He had the French Toast with Blueberry Sauce and I had Avocado Toast with egg whites. The Avocado Toast was delicious with only three ingredients avocado, toast and extra virgin olive oil (on the menu EVOO...I had to ask what that meant...probably the only person on the planet that did not know. My hubby looked at me when I asked the question as if I am so embarrassed that you did not know that. However, if you do not ask, you will not know. It did not phase me one bit.) So, now I know...if you did not know, now you know. Smile. The foundation of the avocado toast was a piece of hearty thick-cut whole grain toast topped with a layer of fresh smashed avocado, lightly tossed with EVOO. I opted for two cage-free egg whites on the side. You can always tell fresh eggs because they are not watery. These eggs were as fluffy as a cloud. This dish was very filling and delicious...so much food I could only eat half of my toast. The remainder of my toast was packed up to go. My hubby opted for the decadent First Watch's French toast. These two thick slices of brioche bread were lightly toasted to a golden brown. Inside the French toast had a soft, custardy consistency yet not soggy. The outside of the French toast was crispy and flavorful when drizzled with the blueberry sauce and syrup. The French toast paired nicely with the blueberry sauce and syrup...tangy and sweet simultaneously. My hubby ate both pieces of his toast. Brittany, our server, was fantastic! She frequently checked on us to ensure that we were having a great dining experience. Brittany was a top notch server! While we do not dine frequently at First Watch, we always feel at home and very welcomed. One server opened the door for us when we entered the restaurant to say good morning and welcome. Brittany opened the door for us as we left to say thank you, have a nice day and look forward to seeing you soon. It is these nice little touches that make us want to visit again. read more

Friendly service, good food, but bad coffee, and the coffee was expensive. You pay for a carafe, but still charged per person (per cup brought to the table), so somewhat disappointing. Three breakfast and three drinks was $60. read more

We finally have a great breakfast/lunch spot in northeast Austin. First Watch elevates breakfast to the next level and we are so happy. We also don't have to travel for miles. The atmosphere is of modern farmhouse decor. Their dishes have that farm to table freshness and individually unique. They've stepped outside of traditional recipes and remade old favorites. With this trip being a soft open, I can't rate their service as there were many trainee servers. Everyone at the opening did a fantastic job. We definitely plan on returning! read more

Located in the east side village on Parmer there was plenty of parking and the inside is spacious and nicely decorated. I ordered The Trifecta which included a pancake, eggs and bacon which was perfect if you are looking for a classic breakfast. I also got the greens juice which was tart and sweet as well as refreshing. The service was quick and waiters were attentive. read more

Went here with a group of 8 thinking it would take forever to get a seat but no! Services was great and fast, food was delicious, place is clean and lots of parking available. I got the avacado toast, forgot what my friends got but everyone enjoyed their food, however, I wasn't a fan of their iced latte read more

Love that we got a breakfast/brunch spot in the neighborhood. We went on a Sunday morning and luckily only had a short (10 minute wait) to be seated. They have all the classics you could want for breakfast time, and then they have solid brunch/lunch options as well. I will say, the service at the restaurant was pretty poor. The servers seemed flustered and weren't very observant of things tables needed. For example, I had to personally ask for silver ware for my child (they didn't give any) and I had to ask for water refills on numerous occasions. As for the wait time for the food, the waitress made a point to come tell us "sorry for the wait, the kitchen is backed up" after waiting for about 30 minutes for our food. I understand that's not her fault, but the kitchen has got to be able to make eggs and pancakes quicker than that... read more

Service was excellent. Sofia was attentive and willing to help with my dietary issues (GF, soy free, hot pepper free) My wife had the Lemon Ricotta pancakes. Presentation was beautiful! She loved them. My frittata tasted fine. I had no dressing because of soy. Maybe some lemon zest curls to dress it up next time. My gf toast was cold and came with no butter. I did request the butter but melted butter on warm toast tastes so much better. read more

Not comfortable putting 3/5 since that would mean this place is above average which is definetly NOT the case. First Watch really is just a Dennys variant branding themselves as fancy. With the atmosphere provided, you would think the food would match the quality right? Wrong I ordered the basic tri Fecta with waffles bacon and scrambled eggs with a side of potatoes(which I know might not be their specialty but the food came out lukewarm and the eggs in specific were very cold. So I would say it's still deserving of a 2/5). My orange juice was also very reminiscent of a cheap Dennys or ihop OJ. The menus don't have pictures and when I went on the online menu I saw why. Most of the menu items aren't the most appetizing-looking. For the record the waiter was great and we tipped 20$. But would I ever recommend this to a friend ? Considering the fact that it has roughly the same quality of food as Dennys for a higher price , no. You're better off going to any other place if you want more than a 4/10 food wise.( even if the food was served at the perfect temperature it, the meal was still lacking and would have gotten a 5 out of ten or 3 out of five. read more

Cooks here don't know the menu potato's are salty . U have to over explain why ur food tastes cold and wasn't made the way it is on the menu . I would put 0 stars This is now my 2nd bad experience here try any other first watch besides this location read more

Really good food good costumer service it was clean the food was good cook slightly burnt my pancakes

There is NO OUTDOOR SEATING YET, despite the misleading photos online... apparently they don't have the permit yet

Breakfast had no flavor at all. Just plain eggs, plain potatoes (not thoroughly cooked) and bacon with toast. It's the kind of meal that convinces you to just make it at home. read more

Food was good. Service was great. I'm giving it a 3/5 which is nice because the kitchen manager or whoever she was on the line was god awful. To have a restaurant that has access to the kitchen noise you should best believe you shouldn't be talking down to your employees and acting like you have a problem with everyone. My boyfriends a chef, he would NEVER speak to his staff in such a way but even if he was frustrated from a busy morning or whatever it is, you best believe he wouldn't be doing it in ears range of customers. So unprofessional. I would say expect more but it is a chain and I don't know if they don't hold all the same standards. read more

The food was amazing i got the Tri-Fecta and the waffle might be one of the best waffles i've had in a while. The berry jam that comes with it is spectacular. It is a perfect mixture of sweet and tart and the eggs were cooked to perfection. My server Nikki is the best server i've ever had at a sit down restaurant. She is super attentive and truly cares for the people she serves. If you are able to ask for her and she will make your experience a whole lot better. The ambience of the restaurant is very homey and is the perfect place for you to sit down and enjoy some high quality food with your loved ones. I truly recommend you to check out this first watch location, you will not regret it. read more
