Great food. Fast service. Slightly over described menu options. I've been here several times and every time the wait has been less than 10 minutes to get a table. Coffee is complementary upon arrival. read more

Everything is so delicious I love tus restraint I recommend it especially for breakfast, the prices are really good the service is wonderful and we had to wait a long line but it was worth it. read more

Perhaps I'm comparing my visit here to other First Watch we have recently visited. Atmosphere is awesome and the wait was minimal. I like the couches on the waiting area... nice touch. I was disappointed the crab omelet came with greens with no dressing or such. Very bland. I should have asked but assumed it came with potato's from previous experiences. Food came out quickly but our server never once came to see if we needed more water... which we did. I'll try again but will make sure I get what I want. read more

Menu is fantastic with many healthy options and fun choices. Food is delicious. Atmosphere is inviting and pleasant. We love First Watch and are so happy to live close by. read more

Three or four star. A franchise this is probably somewhat upper middle in comparison with its breakfast chain competitors. Like its co-eggers, it delivers exactly what you're expecting, nothing more, nothing less. read more

My husband and I visited Hilton Head to play some tennis. It was so crowded with tourists we honestly couldn't wait to leave and get back to where we were staying on Skidaway Island. We found this cute little place on the way and left so full and happy! My husband had the bacon avocado omelette and I had the avocado toast. The best decision I made was to order a side of the Million Dollar Bacon!! OMG!! It was amazing!! If you are in the area you have to treat yourself to this!! The staff was young and sweet and the menu had so many great choices!! read more

One word...Amazing! Service, food and atmosphere! A must visit. While we were here we decided to visit twice. Plus the drinks were spectacular! read more

Good place for breakfast. A bit pricey for the area. Would try it again and recommend to others.

I stopped to get breakfast to go from this place while in the Hilton head area and I am so glad I did. The food was incredibly fresh and reasonably priced. I ordered the kids crepe which had fresh strawberries and blueberries both inside and out with a drizzle of yogurt on top. Also from the kids menu I ordered the half waffle with bacon and fruit. For the adults I ordered the vegetable skillet with the eggs over medium and a traditional breakfast with eggs scrambled, bacon, diced potatoes and toast. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and ordering was super easy! I was in and out in 15 minutes. For me, a breakfast place needs to be convenient, competitively priced, and the food preparation top notch. I'm not looking to start my day with a unique dish but instead have traditional food that is executed well. This place checked all the boxes while offering more on the menu for those looking. It's location is convenient to both Bluffton and HH Island. It's definitely a place I will visit again! read more

First Watch has an awesome menu with multiple items to choose from. There was so much I wanted to eat! I ended up ordering the Traditional breakfast which was very good. My husband and friends ordered dishes as well and there was not one complaint! Clean restaurant, nice bar, and friendly staff. We will definitely be back! read more

Excellent service. Good coffee and Bloody Mary. Omelets with bacon and avocado, the other with chorizo and veggies both served promptly and good tasting. Hadn't been in awhile and we were glad we tried it again. They seem to be fully staffed with efficient people. read more

best breakfast place to hit on the way in from out of town. Water stayed full, food came out correct and quick. Will definitely be hitting this spot up again before I leave. read more

Excellent brunch spot, yummy food, great service, fun atmosphere and an overall fantastic experience! Stopped here for a sit down breakfast on the way to the beach. Get the biscuits and gravy!!! Will definitely be back! read more

I was a little worried when I entered and saw a menu that looked a little hippy, but in the end was happy to find a normal breakfast that beat my "eggspectations" :-) I got eggs, toast, grits and chicken sausage patties. The eggs were fluffy, the grits were gritty, the toast was on some delicious bread with fresh jam, and the chicken sausage patties were unbelievably good. I am a big pork sausage person, but these were excellent! The pot of coffee was fresh and tasty, and service was friendly! My wife's pancakes were big and fluffy with good flavor, but I wish they had maple instead of the corn syrup type. Overall it was a great breakfast! We had to wait a bit during an off-season, off-peak time visit - so I can imagine it gets pretty busy during the tourist season, so be prepared. read more

This is the kind of place I would frequent if I lived here. Nice, clean, modern aesthetic. Fresh food prepared well, and presented beautifully. No complaints. read more

I have now been here three times on the recommendation of friends. I have to say, I am unimpressed. As I STILL sit here waiting for someone to bring me my check. I've been finished for at least 15 minutes! The exact same thing happened the last time I was here. In addition I had to wait for quite some time for anyone to even acknowledge that I was sitting here in the first place. The food is okay but nothing to get excited about. I came in with my leg in a brace. The hostess asked if I would sit at the bar/counter. I said no because I had to get up on a bar stool and with my injury it would be uncomfortable. Literally the hostess was very put out because she sent me on a four top because there was nothing else available. Sorry to inconvenience you. I could go on but why bother. Needless to say, I won't be back! read more

Very nice restaurant. Friendly staff. Wait wasn't to bad at 1200pm on a Sunday. Food is incredible. The biscuit and gravy are awesome. The portion is just right. The Parma Hash skillet is also delicious and just the right size. They have specialty drinks that are all very good. The cost for two people is average with a tip. I would say if your in the area try it out yourself. read more

I am struggling to find words good enough for this place. Our family of 3 arrived around 11 and were seated immediately. Our server, Jacqueline, promptly headed our way. From the first moment, her smile showed through her mask while she took our order. The menu has so many options! Jacqueline also happily made a few substitutions for us picky eaters. She was completely attentive while we waited for our food to arrive. Our drinks were quick and our water stayed full. Once again, smiling all the way, Jacqueline appeared with an enormous amount of food. The portions are extremely generous! We tried the special burrito, the chikichanga, banana pancake and million dollar bacon. Wow! Did I mention before that we are all picky? I don't believe we spoke until the food was gone. Absolutely delectable! Loads of fresh veggies and plenty of sweet treats. We were so impressed. Everything was perfect! I have never left without a takeout container for our leftovers but I can't say that anymore. Every. Last. Bite. Yum! I cannot wait to eat here again. Thank you again Jacqueline for reminding us what fabulous service really is! You are going to do incredible things in your life sweet girl! As for the food, SUBLIME! I've never been more eager to write a review before now so please give this place a try. read more

Constantly amazed at the consistency, quality, and friendliness of first watch. I know they're growing like crazy and it's because they do such a great job with breakfast and lunch. read more

The food was good, but the variety was too healthy for breakfast. I know some will think this is a good thing, but I like a little umph to my breakfast I will say the turkey gravey and biscut were as good as any I've had. read more

Very nice local gem we found on our way back home to North Carolina -- delicious local farm fresh food with excellent customer service. Our table ordered the Million $ Bacon, Elevated Egg Sandwich with potatoes, Hacienda Hasha and Power Wrap. Along with two juices to go - Morning Meditation and Kale Tonic. All three meals and juices were outstanding!! The customer service was also really good and personable with customers. read more

Everything was great! We heard good things about this place, and the staff worked hard at making everyone welcome. Good food, well prepared and nice portions! Our server (Bridget) was great, and if First Watch takes over the whole building, they'll have more then enough seating. (They definitely need more room) read more

Was looking forward to this "chain" coming to Bluffton. I was not bowled over by the food or the price $$$. I liked the interior but the staff could use a bit more training. read more

What can I say, but absolutely delicious! The service is Great! It now has outdoor seating. And the have extended into the next door building! The Avocado toast with eggs is the best I've ever tasted! The manager is absolutely a gentleman. And I will come back and come back and keep coming back. As long as First Watch is open, I'll tell everyone about it! Thank you!!! read more

I've been coming here since they first opened and it's been a favorite of ours until today. I ordered the Tri Fecta with scrambled eggs and turkey sausage. The eggs tasted like cooked liquid eggs and the turkey sausage links were tasteless and rubbery. Not worth the $13.50 paid for just a single pancake meal. read more

Walked in yesterday with my wife and was told it was not officially opened, they were having a fund raiser for Bluffton Self Help with friends and families, but....since you're here, you must be friends! And your meal is comped, all we ask is a donation to this charity! Wow, this place is the real deal! I had the grilled chicken salad, wife had the Floridian French Toast, and they were both delicious! We will go back here many times. Open 7-2:30 daily, great wait staff, everyone was complementing about the food, great environment! Prices are very reasonable. This is a "farm to table" place with locations around the country, nearest one is Jacksonville. Wife had been to the one in Carmel, IN, and couldn't wait till this one opened. We left a donation and a tip for our waitress, Amber, who was a wonderful lady. This is a must place if you like delicious, nutritious food and great staff. And no, I don't work there or have any connection with it. Well, OK, my taste buds do! read more

It was a great brunch experience. Busy on a Sunday but we were able to check in on their app and see how many parties were in front of us. They had coffee and water for the wait! The food was delicious and the menu had lots of great options! The bacon was amazing! read more

My omelet was not hot, cheese only partly melted Server was slow had to ask for salt and pepper twice and drink refill three times Will not be back read more

Not your regular run-of-the-mill breakfast places this place has an exceptional variety of interesting and different breakfast choices. Coffee is to die for service is very good and it gives you an opportunity to try a variety of different things that you might not think of making yourself a breakfast I had a smoked salmon with vegetable omelette that was out of this world, my family had other egg dishes and then we had a breakfast dessert of the special lemon pancakes which we shared highly recommended read more

Wow! What an amazing cafe. It's super clean, the food is great, you have a lot of really healthy options and the service is top notch! UNLESS you go on a Sunday morning! Our first visit was a Fri morning and all was perfect so we decided to go back Sun morning and well...never again! From the hour wait, to all the confusion over who got there first to the under cooked food it was an epic failure! They have only been open a month and they have a lot of kinks to work out. It's almost like they weren't prepared to be busy. We did let a manager know and he responded well but really one of our meals should have been taken off the bill. I don't ever ask to have anything taken off but it was that bad! It's such a shame because the food was so good on Fri. read more

So happy they brought First Watch to Bluffton. Their menu is loaded with several options. You can do breakfast or brunch here. It's a great place for friends and family. I always get one of the eggs Benedict combinations. They also have great coffee! It's located right by hobby lobby. This place is always slammed when I come for good reason so do not come here in a hurry. read more

This is a great place for breakfast or brunch. They have several options. The menu has anything you could ever want for breakfast. The eggs Benedict options are all delicious. The parking is convenient and the service is great! It's usually pretty busy so you may have a short wait, but they are fast. You will enjoy it. I will be back! read more

Great place! The food is delicious and very plentiful. I got the hash brown casserole topped with 2 eggs and my friend got the amazing cheese grits you see pictured as well. I had so much food, I boxed it up and ate it for dinner. The service is fast and friendly as well. Great little breakfast/lunch place!! read more

This is my favorite breakfast spot in Florida and I was delighted to find this one while traveling in Beaufort. My go to is the farmhouse skillet. I ordered it to go since I'm traveling for work and I was initially skeptical about what the quality would be like but was delighted to open it up to this beautiful presentation. It was just as delicious as the locations in Florida and I'll definitely be back to this location when I travel here again. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

So it was a busy day waiting for a table would be well over 30 minutes so I waited for a spot at the bar. The two spots that someone had left wasn't cleared until about 5 minutes of the dishes sitting in front of me. There was another lady sitting next to me and she mentioned she had been there a while but the waiter hadnt gotten her order yet. So after the dishes were cleared the waiter finally came over to get our drink order. My coffee came out but didn't have utensils. There was a tray of single utensils sitting on the bar so I asked a waiter passing by if they were clean and I grabbed a spoon. The area we were sitting in wasn't cleaned until we asked for it to be cleaned. We had to ask for a roll of utensils. Just seemed that the waiters either were overwhelmed or was just being lazy and not paying attention to what needed to be done. The food was great as always so still gained 4 stars for that. That's all, folks. read more

First Watch - Avocado toast and tomato basil soup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

During the week when it is not so busy you can get hot food and good service. Today, Sunday there seemed to be plenty of help but the service was horrible. They brought out one of five breakfasts first and that was the only hot meal we got. The others came out cold when my son who was served first was halfway done with his meal. Two of the remaining orders were wrong. One was missing an ingredient ! Will never go back !! Very pricy and not worth it. read more
