    Trifecta
    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.

    Roasted potatoes

    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.

    Honey Caramel crunch iced coffee
    Kimberly T.

    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.

    Breakfast Tacos..delish!!
    Jill R.

    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.

    Watermelon Wakeup
    Christopher F.

    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.

    The BLTE with cheese grits
    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!

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

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.

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!

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.
