First Watch is an all-time classic stop! My husband and mom absolutely LOVED their Maple Bacon Sandwiches. They said those are a must-have every time! This visit, I wasn't feeling my pancake breakfast. I had to send my plate back TWICE, but the Million Dollar Bacon is always a must. Try the Maple Bacon Sandwich before it's off the menu. It looks like it's seasonal. read more

First time having brunch at this Avondale location, as I usually dine at the First Watch in Tucson. It was a little busy on a Saturday around noon, but we got seated right away. I always look forward to the seasonal rotational menu but opted for a regular menu item this visit. The food portions were filling and the drinks were delicious. The service was pretty average, and there were a few fruit flies around. I would visit again. Ordered: x2 Farmhouse Hashes ($15.29 ea) Cold Brew Tini ($9.99) Pomegranate Mimosa ($9.99) Visited 10/10/26 read more

We were pleasantly surprised that it wasn't busy when we arrived, especially since it was Labor Day weekend. We were seated right away, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. She was covering quite a few tables, so it did seem like they were a little short-staffed that day, but she still did a good job taking care of us. We ordered the Million Dollar Bacon Breakfast Sandwich with seasoned potatoes, along with the Farmstead Tacos with potatoes and a side of Million Dollar Bacon. The tacos and breakfast sandwich were both good, but the maple bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich was absolutely delicious! I ordered the pickled jalapeños on the side, which was perfect for me. One suggestion for the Farmstead Tacos: the shells are VERY thin. I would recommend doubling up on the shells, similar to how they're served at many Mexican restaurants, so they hold together better and provide a little more support for the filling. The seasoned potatoes were unfortunately too salty for my taste. I would suggest using less seasoning. I'm not sure if they come pre-seasoned, but next time I'll probably request no additional seasoning to see if that makes a difference. Tip: Download their app and sign up for their email list! They offer specials, promotions, and even BOGO coupons and other deals, which can definitely help you save on future visits. Overall, we enjoyed our breakfast and would definitely come back--especially for that Million Dollar Bacon breakfast sandwich! read more

I love coming to First Watch and this time was no exception. The food is so delicious! My waffle was so tasty and so filling because of the size of it. The salmon frittata was chef's kiss The blazing dragon drink was something I couldn't stop drinking. Service was awesome but it was quite busy. We were given one time and then told a later time which is my only drawback to them getting five stars. Communication is vital so that customers can make other choices if needed. All in all, great ambiance and super clean. There were options to sit inside and outside. Our server was amazing. read more

I've previously visited one of the other nearby locations and I have to say this location was more enjoyable for me. The other location was stuffed to the gills with "influencer vibes" as well as clientele and I just want to sit in a nice, clean environment to enjoy delicious food. The Avondale location hit all those marks for me. Our server Jimena was very friendly and polite as well as speedy to make sure we had everything we needed from napkins and water to our food. The space is clean and decorated very humbly while still holding up the feel you might expect of First Watch. I tried the breakfast tacos and I definitely recommend! If you're a little hungry it's not too much food and if you're definitely hungry it's a good amount of food either way they're delicious. I will be returning to the Avondale location next time I'm in town! read more

Our server Caleb was absolutely fantastic! He served kindly yet very fast. He was attentive to our needs. He's friendly. He even made such an effort to speak Spanish to my parents who joined for breakfast. 10/10 read more

If you're debating whether to try First Watch... just go. Seriously. We ordered like people who hadn't eaten in days: biscuits and gravy (as a "side"... sure), seasonal fruit (grapes, pineapple, strawberries), and the chimichurri steak & eggs with hash as our main. Oh--and a kale tonic drink to feel responsible, plus iced coffee because balance. Everything? Absolutely delicious. Not one weak link. We ended up sharing everything and still had more than enough food for two people--which is rare unless you accidentally order for a family of four like we did. The real problem now is we've seen the rest of the menu... and we want all of it. So yeah, we're definitely coming back with a better strategy (and probably more stomach capacity). Staff was super attentive, our waiter was phenomenal, and the whole modern farmhouse vibe is actually really well done--clean, bright, and "Instagram-but-not-trying-too-hard." Also, underrated detail: the bathrooms. Four individual private units instead of the usual awkward stall situation. Huge win. Final verdict: great food, great service, great vibe. Come hungry... and maybe bring a game plan. read more

This was our first time at the new Avondale location! We stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday morning, and it was busy. We waited about 40 mins for a table and were seated. The hostess, Montana, was great, and our server, Caleb, was so amazing! He was so attentive, friendly, and nice! The food was all tasty, and the portions were huge! We will definitely be back! read more

I always love a great b'fast or brunch at First Watch. I've visited many locations around the valley. I am excited about the new locations either just opening or coming to the Goodyear/Buckeye areas. This is a popular place. So I would recommend going on their website and sign up for the "Get in Line" waitlist. It sure helps not to have to stand in the heat when the weather gets warm. Always greeted with a smile and attentive servers. Since I am pretty much of a clean eater, I always look for the healthiest options. My usual go to is the Market Veggie sandwich. I also enjoy the Morning Meditation or Purple Haze drinks with a wellness shot. read more

First time at First Watch and it is everything people told us about. GOOD STUFF! Alicia our server is fantastic. Her service is beyond. The food we ordered is delicious. My fav is the Million Dollar Bacon, Million Dollar Potatoes, and Multigrain Pancakes. Everyone else hummed their food. Check out the menu. The food, drink choices are amazing. Ambience is the best for ALL; quite casual and comfortable. Definitely a bookmark for me read more

We stopped in at about 815 AM on a Monday and it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be (now when we left - it was definitely packed!) the wait staff was great - very attentive. We ordered the trifecta (waffle, scrambled eggs and chicken apple sausage), and the biscuits and turkey gravy. Both were good. The chicken apple sausage was a bit dry though, but the rest was good. I would recommend both plates. The food came out quickly. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. read more

Visited the newest location with a large group yesterday and was greeted with a great server. The location has ample seating and a diverse menu. A little disappointed in the iced coffee at this location however, as it had a strong syrup flavor unlike other locations. This location has very tall ceilings which allows for noise to travel - a bit on the louder side. read more

Great food every time ! They have so many options! I love their healthy drink options and the variety of lite dishes. read more

It is very rare to give 5 stars these days. First Watch is the example of why a 5 star rating must be given. The food is just amazing! The flavors, presentation and overall experience made my tummy so very happy. Our server Caleb should be given an award for his personality, attentiveness, patience and kindness. What a wonderful human. The young lady who assisted him was also very sweet, sorry that I did not get her name. Love the esthetics of the restaurant! Farm meets industrial was the feel of it for me and I loved it. Due to its clear popularity, we waited a bit but it was well worth it!!!! We wish that we had a location in California, but we will be back soon I hope. Soooo good!! read more

Try the new sandwich it was good, but for some reason, the seasoned potatoes are literally in edible to eat their salted so bad. I don't know if they come preseason and then they add more seasoning but they are literally disgusting. That's how salted they are. read more

We came to AZ for Spring training and wanted to have a traditional breakfast before heading back home to California and found First Watch on Yelp. We were blown away with how delicious EVERYTHING was. Melissa was our server and she was absolutely amazing! We told her we were from out of state and what she would recommend we have, her suggestion were on point. Melissa constantly checked in on us making sure we were ok. Honestly one of the best experiences I've had in a long time at a restaurant. If she isn't a team leader or supervisor she should be because her interactions with coworkers was also top tier, very empowering and supportive, truly one of a kind. I will definitely come back if ever in AZ again. Food reference, I ordered the the strawberry tres leches French toast and the biscuits and gravy and both items were finger licking good! Five stars in my book! Can't wait to come back! Thank you Melissa and thank you First Watch for making us feel welcomed and for your amazing customer service. In a world full of hate it really gives you hope that there are good/humble people out there. read more

Came on Saturday morning and jt wasn't super busy. We had a baby stroller with us which apparently is not very accommodated here. The greeter Ty made me and my family feel absolutely horrible and as if we were an inconvenience. He was out of line and rude about the stroller, saying it will block the way and such. Honestly where we sat there was so much space for it, but we already felt so unwelcome that we just figured another way out. Pretty much ruined my day. Why are you being rude in the morning, and to your customers?! Our server was Alicia and she definitely turned our experience with Ty 180 degrees. She is so professional and sweet. Thank you for that!!!! Please train Ty to be more friendly to customers with strollers. read more

This is my second time visiting a First Watch restaurant. We visited the Avondale location for a quick late brunch. Service is friendly and we were seated immediately. We asked for a booth and were given one by the window. There is table and booth seating, and also some patio seating. There were quite a few flies around us and that was really my only complaint. It may have been because we were by the window. Today we ordered: - Coffee - I love how our waitress left the carafe at the table so I could refill as needed. Creamers and sugar are also part of the table setting. - Unsweet Iced Tea - Lemon Ricotta Pancakes to share - these pancakes are amazing! Probably some of the best I've had. They were light and fluffy inside and I could see the ricotta filling in some parts, but the edges were golden and crispy. I happen to love lemon curd so the dollop of lemon curd and powdered sugar sprinkled over sliced strawberries on top really made this a delightful treat to share. Also, a warm carafe of maple syrup is brought with the pancakes! Five stars - Omelette - Hubs ordered the omelette with a side of potatoes and ate all of it. Everything was really good. - Pick 2: 1/2 Sandwich & Salad - I chose the roast beef and havarti half sandwich with side of horseradish dip and the warm kale, berry, and nut salad topped with sliced warm chicken. Everything was delicious. I actually ate my entire meal. This salad really impressed me and I might order a full salad next time I come in. read more

We visited for lunch to celebrate an employee's 35-year anniversary, and the experience was excellent. Despite the size of our group, the staff handled everything exceptionally well. Service was attentive, organized, and friendly throughout the meal. Given the volume of food our party ordered, I was impressed that everything arrived hot, fresh, and prepared correctly. The entrees took a little longer to come out, but the quality of the food more than made up for the wait. Overall, the staff did a fantastic job making our celebration enjoyable and memorable. read more

Just moved here from LA and was so excited to see that First Watch was in my neighborhood. Unfortunately I am extremely disappointed, nothing compared to the First Watch in Chandler. First off they wanted to see my dogs service dog tag? Odd but ok I guess I can let that slide, but wait time was twice as long as they stated it would take, server was extremely slow in service, and 30+minutes after ordering the food was cold. I ate it because I'm starving. Last water glass was broken but server wouldn't have known because she never came back to the table. I don't really like to right reviews, but this was a terrible experience for a restaurant that I've been to somewhere else and had an amazing experience. I hope this place gets it together? Maybe it's new? read more

Went for a late breakfast on a Thursday and it was packed. This place is always busy but the wait wasn't long. Our waiter was kind and efficient but not a lot of attentiveness as it was busy and seemed like not as many waiters. I ordered an omelette and a lavender drink. I enjoyed the freshness of the food and tastiness of my drink. The open floor plan is nice and the barnyard decor is cute. I didn't like how the bar area/ outdoor space had an open door which let bugs enter the restaurant so I did spend some time swatting flies away from my food. But as far as my experience at this First Watch was decent and the food was on point. read more

Wait time was a little longer than hostess had anticipated, manager was extremely apologetic. We understood 1030a is prime rush time. I ordered off the summer seasonal menu- million dollar breakfast sandwich, and it was truly delicious, it did take a while to get our meals. My friends ordered a frittata and the Tri-fecta. We were all happy with our meals and the portions. The one thing my friend ordered, an immunity shot for her beverage, waiter acknowledged they didn't provide, didn't apologize and never brought her one to add. read more

Service and food were good but the iced coffee was amazing! Would definitely come back for the coffee!

Sadly I have loved first watch since I was a child and there only the one location downtown. Their food has gone so down hill it's pathetic... Today's visit included burnt coffee... can't get the bitter taste out of my mouth. Uncooked bread with butter and syrup AKA French toast. Quality and consistency no longer exists at first watch. I would have posted pictures but the waitress snatched my plate before I could. read more

Second time eating here and it did not disappoint. This is a great place to stop for breakfast driving back to CA. The service is great. Even though it's crowded, the wait time isn't too long but yet the service doesn't feel rushed either. The server was able to accommodate my request for warm water. There is a variety of food and drink options and it's always fresh. The place is nice and clean and decorated nicely. The only bad thing is we sat at a table near the bar and it was very cold because they keep the window open. Otherwise, I highly recommend it. I wish San Diego had a place like this. read more

I missed the Grand Opening of the Goodyear First Watch and was so bummed out. My daughter went and raved about her experience. So today I was out in town and decided to give them a go. We went to the Avondale location by Westgate. It was Outstanding. If you want to get my attention pay attention to the details. Starting with service. Our server (Alina) brought her "A" game. Greeting us asking for drink orders and provided menu recommendations. She was good. Coffee carafe was delivered and a water bottle. Orders were made. Food took a little while to come out but the place was Slammed. It gave us time to chit chat anyways. Once our food arrived we were both pleased with our orders. Everything was Hot Fresh n cooked to order. I was next to the open kitchen so I could actually watch. I like being able to see the kitchen in action. Big Flavor on both dishes. Portion sizes were good. Prices were evenly paired. Over all a very good Brunch stop. We will definitely pay another visit. Oh! And the coffee-tinie was pretty bomb.it was 1100 don't judge! It was needed. lol! read more

Advertised as pet-friendly, but we were turned away at the door and told they only allow service animals. When I explained my dog is a service animal (not an ESA), they asked what service he performs--which is not permitted under ADA guidelines. People with service animals choose pet-friendly places to avoid issues, not cause them. If service animals aren't welcome, the pet-friendly designation should be removed. read more

The food is quality deliciousness. This place is very busy. The wait time is worth it. The prices are super reasonable for the amount of food you are served. It's a step above any breakfast restaurant. The service is where they truly outshine everyone else in the space. Our server was fast motivated knowledgeable and on top of all of his tables. His name escapes me at the time of this writing. The candied Bacon we savory and sweet. Amazing. I'm looking forward to trying all of the other locations they have in Arizona. read more

I went on a Thursday morning and they were busy. I thought it would be slow, because everyone would be at work. Nope, everyone was at First Watch. We were seated quickly. Probably waited about 20 minutes which was fine considering how busy they were. First Watch is always consistent. I've been to the location in Tempe several times. This is my first time eating at this location, which is closer to my home. When I say consistent you know what you're going to get. The food is always chef kiss. The maple bacon appetizer was so delicious. We also had the donuts. If I was a wise woman, I would have saved some of the bacon to insert inside of the donut hole. Next time I visit, I am definitely trying it. I feel like it would be a match made in heaven. It's always clean and family friendly. Good for a casual date as well. Our waiter was extremely nice. When I return I hope he is working and we can receive his service again. Oh, almost forgot. The last time I went to First Watch I paid at the register. They now have a QR code system that links you to an app. It was pretty seamless. I liked it. The only issue are tips. I'm not certain how that's paid out. I wanted to give my waiter a nice tip for his excellent service. Will definitely visit again. As I write this review, I'm thinking about that maple bacon appetizer. It's not called the million dollar bacon for no reason. Yum! read more

Came here on a Saturday with my husband and the place was jam packed. However, it moved pretty quickly and we were seated in about 30 minutes. Our server was wonderfully quick and very bubbly, a real joy to have and she gave us some great recommendations. My husband ordered the Chickichanga and absolutely devoured it. I was lucky to get a bite to just try it, but I can understand why because it was wonderfully savory with a touch of spice, nothing too explosive, luckily for us! I got the poached eggs and the million dollar potatoes. Those potatoes are definitely worth a million dollars...or at least they taste like they do. I'd go back just for those potatoes alone! We also got a little sweet something in the form of a chocolate muffin and it was the perfect way to end brunch. read more

My first and favorite First Watch that I've been to. Being from San Diego, I was excited to see one while staying in Phoenix. No regrets, left satiated and not feeling sluggish thanks to their better-quality ingredients. Cozy environment inside with good service. I don't usually opt for chain breakfast spots but First Watch is near the top when it comes to them. read more
