Lilia Z.

We came right before the crowd and were seated right away. One downside is that the tables are pretty close together, so we didn't have much space and could easily hear nearby conversations. I also wish they offered cappuccinos. It's a little odd that they don't. I ordered the Trifecta with the Belgian waffle and really liked the Chicken Apple sausage. The seasoned potatoes were great, too. Portions were solid overall, and we had great, quick service.

Blueberry lemon cornbread was delicious! The mint mocha was okay, I probably won't order it again. The elevated egg sandwich was filling with some burnt pieces in the potatoes. My partner enjoyed the French toast. It wasn't too crowded for a Saturday lunch and service was fast, though not the friendliest as we had to ask the busser for a box upon departure. Cute valentines decor but some trash on the floor.

I had not been to first watch, but anything breakfast focused is great with me. The space was nice and open, and I was seated right away. I'm a sucker for eggs Benedict so I had delicious blt eggs Benedict! Very impressed with the staff; on top of it, friendly but not overwhelming! Can't wait to come back and check out some more tasty options!

Checked in online which I highly recommend! Seated right away only to wait 10 min for a waitress even to appear. Ordered drinks and food together. Million dollar bacon is good. They had a summer special tres lache strawberry French toast, comes with no sides . Very disappointing but it tasted good. Husband got the chickichongo it tasted good but the shell was over cooked. Asked for more coffee twice and finally went and got creamers from another table as she never brought. Overall a little pricey and slow but the food tasted good.

I'm a longtime fan of the First Watch chain. I'd been eyeing this particular location while handling some family issues in nearby Putnam County that have had me driving through Hendricks County multiple times weekly. I simply haven't had time to stop. Yesterday morning, I finally made it. This seems like a newer location and is quite beautifully decorated. The ambience is casual and welcoming. It's in a strip center and there are ample accessible parking spots and curb cuts. The glass door entry is a little heavy, however, employees are nearby and fairly quick to assist if needed. The hosting station is right inside the door. First Watch has both indoor and outdoor dining options. They can accommodate smaller parties and larger parties fairly easily. As is always true with First Watch, this is a breakfast/brunch/lunch spot that closes at 2:30pm. They lean toward healthier fare. They have a juice bar, teas, Project Sunrise Coffee, and the menu includes organic, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options. They do not serve alcoholic beverages at this location (some First Watch spots do). I was seated at a comfortable table. I ordered my usual unsweetened iced tea. I ended up with a usual of a single pancake and roasted potatoes. I'm a huge fan of First Watch's potatoes - I quite literally crave them. I wasn't looking great, but I was treated well. It has been a very long month both working and dealing with my father in hospice. I'm exhausted. Food was great. Service was great. Price was fair. Here's where First Watch really earned their 5-star. On Tuesday night, my father died after a modest hospice journey. Yesterday, I was on my way to begin planning the funeral and to start addressing issues at his home. I was tired. I was stressed. I was, for the first day, without immediate family (my mother and only brother preceded him in death). I needed a healthy meal. I needed connection. I was lingering. One iced tea. two iced teas. "Do you mind if I stay a few more minutes?" Third iced tea. I was encouraged to stay. I finally acknowledged to my server, Ashley, that I was on my way to begin clearing out my father's home and plan his funeral. It could have been awkward. It could have been a momentary "I'm sorry" response. Instead, she sat down at the table. Looked me in the eyes and spent 1-2 minutes being human and kind. It was a brief but deeply appreciated act of compassion. I got the spark I needed and went to handle the business. So, bravo First Watch. Thank you for creating an environment where people can relax, be sustained, and have kind, compassionate servers. Oh, and thanks for those potatoes. Perfect! I'll be back.

Great place for high quality breakfast. The restaurant provides a cozy family feel with attentive service. I ordered the tri-fecta and a honey caramel crunch iced coffee. For the tri- fecta i chose the Belgian waffle, which was light and airy, scrambled eggs, and chicken sausage. The meal and the drink were both good.

This is like the millionth time we come here to first watch in Avon, Indiana. And this is one of mine and my daughter's favorite to go places. They have. Awesome breakfast and brunch options. We especially prefer the brunch options. They also have a great kids menu with along with the coloring paper that'll occupy kids for some time. Their service is amazing. They explain what the menu is and they are very kind to kids when kids are trying to order on their own. Their ambience inside is pleasant, clean, calm and it suits for all sorts of parties. This is a definite come. We will keep coming here. It's a great place.

Really enjoy this local First Watch. Service is always quick and my coffee cup is never left empty. Menu has all the great stuff whether you're looking for sweet, savory, traditional, or something new. Check the chalk board for rotating specials. Parking is ample and location is very good.

Erika P.

Quick, delicious, and filling for an avocado toast and eggs. Just a hint of lemon and salt. Highly recommended downloading app to get an alternative to those breakfast morning commutes. However, on the app there are not too many options for customizations like a simple request for hot tea to-go, but most coffee, milk, juice basics available.

We went in for a staff luncheon. The food was great. Refills and check backs took some time. I think they were closing up lunch and doing side work. The restaurant is clean and bright. I had the chopped salad. Plenty of leftovers for a second lunch later in the week. We had the corn bread starter which was fire. The watermelon drink was good too.

Sigrid W.

I have to say I was impressed by this place and that's not an easy thing to do. I was greeted and escorted to my table. The server brought some water right away and took my drink order. BTW the coffee here is fabulous and you get a whole can, which is nice for your no-wait refills and warm-ups. I took a minute to peruse this rather large menu with so many delicious options. It was really hard to choose. In the end I decided on an omelet with a side of cheesy grits. Now mind you the omelet already comes with toast and a salad, which you can swap out for potatoes or fruit. So there is a good amount of food. I'll know next time. The omelet was delish, well made with fresh tomatoes and sour cream on top... yumm. The greens were plentiful and the dressing on it a delicate vinaigrette that I really enjoyed. Even the bread, which I was worried I might not like. It just sounded way too healthy to be any good, but I was proven wrong. It was quite good and the jelly was perfect. And the cheesy grits were pretty good also. A little bland, but that's a grits thing anyway. Altogether I have to say that I will be back for sure. But be aware that this is a very busy place and if you come in on the weekend, expect quite a wait.

Laura H.

The food is delicious & service is very nice & helpful in choosing what to order on their fantastic menu. The food is mostly organic & that's a definite plus! Inside is great not as loud as some places. I highly recommend this place, you need to stop In when ya get a chance!

First Watch is a great addition to the breakfast/brunch scene in Avon. I came here for a work lunch and they did an good job of seating us and getting us in and out. The food itself was prepared well and was tasty! The presentation was well done but it hid that the portion sizes were standard or small. The coffee was fairly standard, their speciality juices are so fun! read more

Ahhh, First watch, one of the most popular breakfast joints in the area. They are always packed and for good reason. I walked in and hoped they had counter service, they did! I had the "breakfast bar" all to myself but otherwise the place was packed. A server immediately made contact doing double duty in a section and the bar. She was also double sat as the outdoor part of the breakfast bar had a walk up at the same time I sat down...she didn't blink an eye and had everyone taken care of quickly. I ordered the tri-fecta with 2 eggs over medium, bacon, and a Belgian waffle without the powdered sugar (seriously restaurants, stop the PS). I sipped coffee and water for about 25 minutes until the food came. It was nice to slow down and enjoy my coffee. My only complaint (and trying not to add a mark against FW for other restaurants doing the EXACT same thing) is that the waffle showed up with powdered sugar...so I won't touch it and now I'm out of time as I have to walk back down the road to get my car from being detailed. First world problems, right? Grumpy late 40s guy, right? So busy in the kitchen that they can't read the ticket, right? Autopilot cooks right? Expeditor, not reading the ticket, right? I had them as a 3-star but that's not fair so as I type this sentence I added the 4th star. The server asked if I wanted to take the waffle with me, but again, I was walking and then I told her, "No, that they had put the powdered sugar on it." She realized and wasn't happy with her kitchen...she wadded up the ticket and said, "You're good to go." I thanked her and tipped her an Alexander Hamilton... happy that she didn't throw away her shot at great service recovery. Can somebody PLEASE get this man a pancake or waffle without powdered sugar. (intentional movie reference). The search for no powdered sugar continues. Perhaps the 4th breakfast place I try will succeed. (/end 1st world ridiculous rant about powdered sugar on pancakes and waffles) I'll be back to FW. read more

Met a friend for lunch who I'd not seen in awhile. Ordered a cobb salad and asked the server if I could substitute the avocado for an egg--she said 'sure'. Noticed after I left that I was charged for the egg! While it's not a lot of money, it's annoying. Sure, I should have caught it but I was busy trying to catch up with my friend. This is on top of staff having to be hunted down for refills and to-go container. read more

AHHHMAYZING! I started with fresh squeezed OJ and fresh piping hot black coffee. Both on point! I typically would never order bacon in a restaurant because I have to have it cooked very particular. I am so glad that my friend ordered it because sweet, savory and spicy all in one perfect bite of bacon is all I can say! I followed that up with a Omelette with ham, sausage, bacon, onions, and mushrooms with a side of cheesy grits that were made absolutely perfectly! My friend had the French toast and loved it! I've heard great things about first watch, and this was my first time visiting. I look forward to going back at lunchtime and trying the lunch menu! The server was excellent. She was prompt and polite. The only negative was at 10:30 They had run out of biscuits so my friend couldn't order biscuits and gravy but the food that we did get was prompt, hot and fresh and delicious! read more

This restaurant recently opened in my area, so today several of us in the office tried it out for lunch. We had a group of 6 and were worried we could get in at 1145, but they were able to seat us right away. The menu was good and the service was as good as you can during a lunch-rush. I ordered the soup-of-the-day and a salad. After several minutes, our server came back and informed us they were already out of the soup-of-the-day. Honestly, I was ok with just getting tomato soup, but it seemed weird they ran out of their "special" at the start of lunch. Oh well, my meal came out and the soup was hot and the salad was cold. (Good job). Only issue with the meal was the avocados were not at all ripe and borderline crunchy. Someone should have noticed that while preparing it. Overall a good experience and I'll go back. read more

The service was positive, timely, and helpful. The drinks were aesthetically pleasing and flavorful. The million dollar bacon was seriously mouthwatering. I was a fan of the tomato basil soup, as well as the avocado toast. I didn't love the taste of the soup of the day (some type of chicken and rice). I love the location of the restaurant, we can get brunch and grab all of our pets stuff at the new pet store next door, and then grab some Crumbl cookies on the way out. I do wish it served brunch cocktails like some of the other locations. read more

First watch is always good however they are expensive. I love the elevated egg sandwich it is delicious almost $13.00 for a one egg sammy. I will always recommended first watch because it is consistently good but if you are looking for a cheaper brekkie, look elsewhere. You pay for the ambiance, everything is natural, they serve water in a carafe with no ice. Depending on where you are seated you might be elbow to elbow with other patrons on their shared booth. read more

Had brunch here a few days ago with friends. There were four and tho it was busy we were seated on the patio quickly on a late weekday morning. Our water stopped by pretty quickly and we ordered drinks. I had a cucumber beverage - different but tasty. My order was a pretty standard eggs bacon and toast with hash browns. Liked their bread, scrambled eggs average but I was not a fan of the bacon - thick and chewy. Not my style. Potatoes were hot and the best part of the meal. Place was busy but not loud outdoors. I felt it was an average breakfast - nothing over the top. Will give it another try sometime. read more

This is one of those places that you leave and within less than a week you're craving MORE! I found it to be very clean and comfortable. The service was a breath of fresh air. The server was knowledgeable of the menu and made me glad I chose First Watch. The food, welllllll INCREDIBLE. I had the Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl and I could've lived off the whopping 32 grams of protein until the next day. My taste buds are still smiling. I've also tried the bacon and Avocado Toast on another visit. So far there's nothing I wouldn't recommend. EXCEPT......longer hours open. Only because I can't get enough ! Since I've now found eating out so pleasurable again after a very long dry spell maybe I'll try yet another place as well. I'm on a roll, so now my hopes are high there's beginning to be decent restaurants again. FINALLY! And so the search begins! THANKS FIRST WATCH! See you again soon! read more

We've been to a couple of the special events at the Indy location which were a lot of fun. I do like the food here and it's fun to come in once in a while for a tasting.

The food quality has really gone down hill. It's "edible" but for the price I expect better. The…read moresteak is good, but brunch menu and risotto I had was barely tolerable. The drinks are delicious. The wine selections are quite good. The waiters have always been pleasant, no complaints there. In the summer time you can sit in the patio which is very nice. Needless to say I would not go back for the food. There are many better steak options in Indy. I would go back for a drink in the patio.

My husband & I had an absolutely wonderful experience here, and it was largely thanks to our…read moreserver, Desiree. From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly attentive without being overbearing. She anticipated every need before we even had to ask--refilling drinks right on time and making sure every part of our meal was perfect.What really stood out was how she went above and beyond by stopping at our table & asking me if I would like to have a drink from the bar because she saw that I had been looking at the drink menu. Service like this is hard to find. The management made an excellent choice bringing her on; she's a huge asset to the team. We would have never guessed she had only been working there for a matter of weeks. We were also impressed that one of the managers (maybe Stacy?) stopped by our table to ask us how our dinner was & if we needed anything she could get for us. That rarely happens any more. Our food was very good as well. James & Sara Booth

Came here for a birthday party and had a really good time overall. The outside patio was the…read moreperfect setup, warmers over every table kept it comfortable, and there was a nice mix of high-top tables and booths for seating. They had the doors open to the outside which gave it a fun, lively atmosphere. There were games like a basketball hoop, scooters for the kids, Connect Four, and cornhole, which added to the experience. TVs were everywhere, and with the Final Four game on, it made the vibe even better with music playing throughout the patio. Our server, Dajiah, was friendly and gave great recommendations, which we appreciated. For a bigger crowd, she was on it. For drinks, I had the Pineapple Smash (crown whiskey and double shot) and it was very good, definitely one of my favorites. I also tried the Blackberry Smash, which was just as good. My husband ordered a Blue Moon since they didn't have Mango Cart. He later tried to order a whiskey sour but ended up with a whiskey bound, which he didn't care for, though I thought it was decent. We started with the garlic knots appetizer with cheese and marinara, and those were good. For my meal, I had the salmon, which normally comes with rice and another side, but I swapped for a side salad and broccoli. I really enjoyed my salmon and broccoli. I got turned off from my salad because of one small issue. There was a hair in my side salad, but they handled it. They took it back immediately after I informed our server, remade it, and our server also offered to remove it from the bill, which I appreciated. My husband got the smash burger and fries, he said it was really good. It was a great time with good food, fun energy, and a lively patio setup. Definitely a spot for good vibes and accommodating to a larger crowd.

There were about 2/3 tables full, which is good for a Sunday. Our server Jason was friendly and good about keeping track of all our requests. They have mocktails! I got the Blushing Sangria. It was delicious and nicely fruity and not too sweet. I've never drank before, but my boyfriend said it tasted like the original kind. They have a pretty extensive beer list here, and many of them are local choices. For appetizer, we got the couscous Mac and cheese balls. These are pretty close in nature to arancini, but with more cheese. My main course was their weekend dinner special, with prime rib accompanied by white cheddar mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. The prime rib was absolutely amazing, nice and tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were also great and are a very smooth consistency. For dessert, of course we had to get a pizookie! The triple chocolate delivers on its name. Served hot, it is well worth the wait after two courses of deliciousness. They have TVs around the bar area that have sports on. At the time, basketball and nascar had the most coverage. I wish they had the closed captioning on, since that makes it easier to tell what goes on if you're not right at the bar. The bathroom is kept clean there. My boyfriend and I are sure to come back on the weekday special going on, with select entrees and pizookies for $13 - what a deal! Hopefully this is sooner rather than later!

Then we waited to be noticed by the wait staff. And we waited, and waited. It took 17 minutes before anyone came to our table. We would have left but we had a $50 gift certificate to use. Finally someone came over. We ordered teas & an appetizer of flaming saganaki. We found it very tasty. For entered I ordered the Greek meatball sandwich. My wife got a cup of egg lemon bowl ( which is a soup she loves) & Keftethes ( with beef meatballs). I found the fries god & the meatballs & bread decent but the sauce was a little off to me which greatly reduced my enjoyment. It was just ok. My wife thought the soup was a bit thin but overall god with a strong lemon flavor. Her entree the meatballs were good, the green beans were cold & the roasted potatoes were decent. Overall she was meh. We ordered desserts to go. Baklava, Galaktoboureko ( custard in philo dough) & Oreo cake. Wife thought the baklava had an overpowering cinnamon taste which hurt it. The Galaktoboureko was basically sugar cream pie with philo crust. I thought it was ok but wife thought it should have been thinner. She also believes the to go containers aren't sufficient for these desserts due to the sugar syrup. The "Oreo cake" had one cookie to the side & was dry. When we gave the waitress our gift certificate she said they would take that off when they rang up the bill. She came back & the gift certificates were not taken off. I pointed this out to her & she went back to talk to whoever is running the register. When she came back she said she has no idea what's going on but they gave me a $50 bill to credit the $50 in gift certificates. My amazing wife surmised that they credited someone else's bill & gave us the $50 to make it right for us. Bottom line is all the staff we interacted with were friendly but the restaurant is very disorganized. Food was just ok. Can't say we were impressed.

It's familiar, family friendly and the broccoli cheddar casserole is like comfort food to me. The last time I was there I had an upset stomach after lunch but you never know for sure what the cause is unless you haven't eaten at all before hand. So we decided to give them another chance. Those honey butter croissants are quite enticing after all. Unfortunately, the Bourbon Glazed Salmon I usually order was undercooked and I couldn't eat it. I hate wasting food but I had to send it back. The service seems to get worse each time I've been there over the years. Not sure what is going on with the management but it seems to be lacking the leadership and skills required to run a successful restaurant. It makes me sad that I can't go back there anymore. I just won't risk getting sick and need more consistent service.

It didn't smell clean at all, but I decided to try it anyway. I opted for the large breaded pork tenderloin (10ounce) with fries and a side of 5-cheese Mac and cheese. Food was served quickly. The tenderloin was clearly a greasy one from the moment I laid eyes on it. I cut it in half to make a double-decker out of it, and half of the breading came off. When I picked up that half to stack it on the sandwich, the rest came off. I put it back together the best I could and gave it a try. The tenderloin was both greasy and tough- it was like biting into a pork chop. There was nothing "tender" about it. Fries were ok, with lot of seasoning salt on them. The Mac and cheese was both hot and cold at the same time- it definitely came from the microwave. The waitress was nice and attentive. $23 total.
