One thing I can honestly say about First Watch is that I have never had a bad meal here. I have been to many locations and this one hits the mark every time, just like any other location I've been too. They just do it right. Food is always delicious, service great and just all around good experience every time. The food is always great and presentation is so pleasing to the eye which just makes it taste that much better. I really like that they have some seasonal options as well as some gluten free and vegan options too, very cool. Everything we had this day was great. I am always excited to go have a meal at First Watch and can't wait to come back for the next one. read more

Very nice breakfast-lunch place. Casual, more often pack than not, but waiting time is usually going pretty fast. Loud, because teenagers love this place)))) And one more ,from personal experience, if you order frittata dish - its just a very thin omlet))) read more

First Watch - Salmon frittata - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I was seated immediately as I was dining alone. It was no busier than usual for breakfast. I had to wait more than 10 mins for anyone to even come to acknowledge me. I told them the same and how it's unacceptable. I asked for water and ordered the food all at the same time. The manager came by and apologized after I commented about the fact they took so long to even acknowledge. I go to this chain all of the time but this particular location was not the greatest for service. What I ordered.... Due to my gluten allergy, I have limited options. This was on the specials menu. It's a barbacoa breakfast option. It has black beans, eggs, corn chips, tomatoes and the "meat" aka barbacoa on top of the corn chips. It had very little meat. I moved everything around and found 2 small chunks of meat. The manager mentioned that it's simmered into the sauce however you could tell that the sauce was very plain and the meat was far and few between. The whole point of barbacoa is to see the chunks of meat. The flavour was very plain. Not enough seasoning to actually say it's barbacoa. I'd definitely not order this dish again. I wanted to try something new and this was not it. read more

First Watch - Elevated egg sandwich, steak bacon burrito and lemon ricotta pancakes! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Visited the Polo Shoppes location in Boca. Always great service and food. It's never too busy and well worth the wait.

First of all great service and the food was yummy. The wild berry lavender French toast was amazing and the works omelette with no salt was very good, not amazing but would still recommend it. I noticed in the past other First Watch put too much salt on the food so this time I mentioned no salt and the food was better. I recommend this for those with elevated blood pressure. Also the blackberry ice tea was tasty and free refills. The coffee could have been a little stronger but it was still good. read more

Great place for brunch! Came to Boca for a quick trip to warmer weather. Came here on Saturday morning and was not disappointed. They don't serve alcohol so if you're looking for a boozy brunch, this place isn't it. I had the rancheros with Pickler's onion! I ate every single bite! Super delicious! read more

I met my son and daughter-in-law for breakfast this morning. The food was prepared perfectly, the service was quick and attentive, and the ambiance was relaxed, yet upbeat! We all had an enjoyable start to our day. Breakfast is not just a weekend activity. Weekdays on your day off are so much better! It wasn't crowded or rushed. What a pleasant experience! read more

Wow, they are doing everything right! Friendly fast service with a smile. Cute restaurant decor. Food was great. My egg white omelette was very fluffy, light and delicious. Wife's pancakes were great. I know this sounds silly, but the jam they served with the bread was incredible! read more

The ambiance was typical of other First Watch restaurants. Sparce but clean. Four of us went for breakfast. They made a reasonable omelet, but that meal showed up 5 minutes after the other 3 breakfasts. The eggs in the other 3 breakfasts were way overcooked but arrived cold. When we told the manager about the issue, he apologized and walked away. They must be used to that issue. The food was not up to the level that is set by other locations. read more

I'm only giving one star for today's visit because I had a bad experience. My family and I have been going to this location for several years. Food has always been great. But today... I've decided to have brunch with my dog. I've never taken my dog out before for dining. I've seen other people taken their dogs to this location before and of course, we sat outside. 1 - My dog and I sat at a smaller table, in a corner. I saw that my dog was stressing out by sitting on the ground. So, I sat her on a chair. (My dog is a small dog, 16 years old and she was tired - mind you). The host came out and stated that my dog can't sit on the chair. It's only for people. Then.. I was thinking , don't you all clean the chairs anyways?!? The chairs were mesh materials and very durable for outdoor sittings. Another thing as well... this was in the late afternoon - probably 45 minutes to closing at 2:30 and HARDLY any customers were there. 2 - I requested a very small portion of eggs with one or two pieces of bacons for my dog. (I did tell my server the food was for my dog). I received a whole portion of eggs and whole portion of bacons. The server didn't mentioned anything prior to serving the food, that it'll be a full order and full price.. I specifically asked for a small portion because I knew my dog would NOT finish everything. 3 - My dog's food was served on a regular plate, which I didn't think anything about it. Another server came out and raised her voice at me, stating that my dog can't eat off a regular plate. My regular server didn't say anything to me regarding to the plate. She knew very well that the food was for my dog. I wanted to make sure my dog gets to eat first. Then the other server brought out a container and she told me that the regular plate would need to be thrown out. This whole ordeal was NOT my fault. 4 - My server kept looking at me like I've done something wrong. I'm sure by you working / serving outside, you have dealt with other customers before with their dogs. Why would my situation be different?!? Throughout this whole ordeal, I felt very uncomfortable and I couldn't even enjoy my meal, nor I could finish it. I chose this particular place / location because I've seen other dogs here before. Mind you... other customers outside were pleased to see my dog and they didn't have any issues. When I finally went to pay for the bill.. my server was at the register. She literally almost snatched the check out of my hand. Honestly... she didn't bother asking how my meal was. Then the host (the same guy who told me my dog can't sit on the chair), decided to take my check, so I can pay for the bill. (Which was kind of strange). I didn't want to look at his face. I was just so disgusted with my experience today. I just wanted a calm and relaxing brunch with my dog and to give her an experience. I felt my dog and I were targeted and discriminated against. Man... I would NEVER do this again, nor my family and friends will come to this place!!! read more

Great food, great consistent service always! We have been going there for brunch on regular basis, and will keep doing so.

Always fresh and scratch made. Especially like getting filtered water in a large carafe. Our meals today consisted of two ginourmus extremely fluffy and light pancakes with a big mountain of lemon ricotta and a cage free egg. The other was a pick two of Cobb salad with honey Dijon dressing and an oversized half BLTE sandwich consisting of several slabs of crispy bacon, fresh sliced tomatoes, a cage free egg, and mixed greens between two slices of sourdough bread. The salad I finished which was huge. The sandwich was taken home for lunch. This breakfast and lunch restaurant should definitely be your First choice when eating out. read more

I loved this spot! The food was delicious. The service was great. The have great coffee which I'm always a stickler for. They plate everything nicely. We had the eggs Benedict (classic) which was perfect- not drowning in Hollandaise sauce. The breakfast I chose was the Tri-fecta. It came with two eggs, bacon and 1 slice of delicious French toast. I had other options to choose from for this breakfast but this was exactly what I wanted. Note- I downloaded their app to save my spot RSVP in line and got there at the suggested time. They were pretty busy and I waited 20 minutes. Not too bad. read more

Prices have increased, while food portions have decreased significantly. Drinks could benefit from improved filtration systems, as they sometimes taste off. Outdoor seating areas occasionally have unpleasant odors, possibly due to nearby waste management issues. Table cleanliness and maintenance could be enhanced. Service speeds could be improved to reduce wait times. The bathroom facilities might benefit from additional stalls or more frequent cleaning. read more

Very friendly staff here (smiles from everyone - even from those not serving me.) The place had an attractive western theme going on. Very nice appearing. I ordered the ham/gruyere cheese omelet but as a scramble & I chose the fruit as a side & multi-grain toast came with the eggs. Everything was very good as was the coffee. It's odd that so many places specializing in breakfasts serve such retched coffee ! Menu was huge-will have to return & try something different next time. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for the longest! They are open for dine in now, it was very crowded for a Sunday brunch, all the staff was wearing masks and gloves, tables were being cleaned up right after people left them, most guests were also wearing masks but you could tell they were totally fine with guests not wearing masks... I did personally not like that very much. Anyway, food wise I was very pleased!!! The avocado toast is probably one of the best avocado toasts I've ever tried!! Absolutely delicious, can't wait to get it again!! I also ordered the cheesy grits but they lacked salt... their juice of the day watermelon and pineapple... very good and super refreshing!! I would definitely like to go back! Service was great and fast. read more

My favorite place for breakfast, they do have the best tasting waffles I don't know how they do it but they are fantastic.

Ate here for breakfast today. Used the Yelp Waitlist feature and it worked perfectly to avoid a long wait. This place gets busy! The complimentary coffee as you wait is a nice touch. Unfortunately the WiFi never worked at all--why cant they get this working? This location has a nice fresh layout with a huge glass window all along the length of the place. It's a nice open feeling and the tables outside are really nice as well. Our server was friendly and provided the jug of water and soda quickly. We ordered the Ancient Grains protein bowl and the Trifecta breakfast dish. The Ancient Grains bowl was very fresh and tasty with avocado, chicken, kale, and eggs. The Trifecta dish eggs were a bit cold and the bacon far too hard and crispy. However, the Belgian waffle was outstanding, and they also have sugar free syrup to put on it as well. Checkout was smooth and pleasant. read more

Great place! Very busy but we didn't have to wait long for our tables waitress was excellent. Brought us water right away and my hot tea can quickly. I like how they give you a nice selection of tea to choose from. I ordered a frittata with salmon. It came with potatoes and greens. It was excellent and very filling. Love that you can have breakfast for lunch at First Watch. My daughter ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes and said they were delicious. Service was excellent. We've been to many First Watches and have always been very happy. read more

Came here for my best friend's birthday breakfast and we sat outside. It's dog friendly as we brought her pup along. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. I didn't give it 5 stars because we actually wanted to order more drinks after we closed out the bill and our waitress never returned after giving us the check. We got the pomegranate drink with tequila and that was very nice and refreshing for a hot day. Decided on getting the biscuits with turkey sausage, home fries and scrambled eggs which was amazing. The biscuits were fluffy and crispy but not dry. The gravy had a peppery taste but it was great I could've cleaned out the plate and almost did. Definitely will return to one of these in Jersey read more

I am sure other locations are better But this one is really not good This is the 2nd time we tried it and had a disappointing experience Food took forever - ( which is not that big of a deal) But when it finally came it was ice cold - most of us just said it is what it is , but one person opted to send waffle back because it was cold and hard. After 10 min a new one came and guess what ? Also cold and def not fresh. I was confused they opted to just not eat and ask for check. There was no apology . Same thing happened last time . Unfortunately we will not be returning. read more

I've been coming to First Watch for the past couple of years and they never fail to impress. I always get the same order, Avocado Toast. It's the perfect size for a meal. The meal comes with 2 eggs and the avocado toast. My mom ordered the Shrimp & Grits which is a limited time menu item. If you're ever visiting the Boca area and are looking for the perfect Brunch location definitely visit First Watch. Tip: Download the app before visiting so you can put your name down for a table before you arrive to the restaurant. Once you arrive you won't have to wait as long. read more

This is hands down my favorite breakfast food that exists. I am obsessed with First Watch anything and everything on the menu is amazing.

Excellent breakfast spot with great service and a nice varied menu with classic items as well as some unique items that are worth a try. This was my go-to spot when I was in Florida. I love the chia seed pudding, also called the A.M. superfoods bowl; it's nicely balanced with it being not too sweet and definitely something to keep coming back to. The breakfast tacos are also excellent; tortillas hold up nicely and there's a good proportion of chorizo and egg filling. The lemon ricotta pancakes are fluffy and a generous portion. The roast beef and havarti sandwich is a good pick for lunch; very filling and presented nicely. This will always be a staple breakfast place when I'm in the area. read more

Love this breakfast!!! The waitresses are really nice, and the food is excellent. I eat there almost every day!; Blueberry pancake with turkey link sausage and delicious sweet iced coffee read more

I like first watch. Consistently good food. The egg chickchanga is a must along with their salads.

I never knew this chain existed, I'm from NY and I dont believe they have locations in NY. I pleased with my first visit to to this establishment. The staff was friendly and professional. Upon entering we were greeted and seated promptly. The decor is bright and welcoming and comfortable, exactly what you would want to start off your day. I loved the various menu choices and listed calories. I ordered the tri athlete and my husband had the classic eggs Benedict. Both dishes were served with a ramekin of fruit. The toast was delicious and grainy but not overly dense, it had a lovely airy quality. Both meals were done well and the experience was positive. read more

Can you believe it's 2017 and I had never been to a First Watch ever?!? I have one not even 5 minutes away from my house, one in front of the mall, one very close to work... still, had never set foot in one. Well, the new year decided it was time I did and on New Year's day my family decided to do brunch here. Apparently, a lot of people did too. We had to wait about 40 minutes for a table (we were a party of 7) but it was worth it. When they finally called our name, they gave us a comfortable table, with room for everyone. Didn't have to wait for coffee, our server greeted us with id on hand. They place one or two pots of it (depending on how many people are per table) and refill it whenever is needed. Water is also brought out right away. Daily specials were written clearly on a blackboard, next to the kitchen. After a couple of minutes of looking at the menu were ready to order. It's tough deciding, especially when hungry - waffles, pancakes, eggs benedict, avocado toast, omelets, and if you are one of those that make the new year resolution to eat well, they have you covered with healthy choices like acai bowls, egg whites, veggies, etc. They also have combo like the "tri-fecta" which include eggs, your choice of pancakes/ waffles/ French toast, and your choice of turkey sausage/ bacon. I decided on an omelet. The works - this had sausage, bacon, cheese, mushrooms, spinach. It came with toast and yam on the side, and your choice of salad/ fruit/ breakfast potatoes. The omelet is big and filled with all the ingredients. It's well-seasoned, satisfying and very filling. Exactly what I needed after a fun New Year's Eve night. Since I saw how big their portions were, I decided to have the fruit as the side. Fruit was fresh, but was not able to finish it all. Same with the toast. To also help with the New Year's night detoxing, I ordered a "morning glow" juice - orange, lemon, carrot and ginger. YUM!! I would have this every day, if I could but would add a bit more ginger to it. Waffles are also a good portion. There was no plate on the table that would leave anyone hungry. We all enjoyed our brunch, and now I can say I've been (and will return) to First Watch. read more

I love First Watch, they are so awesome and #allergyfriendly!! They where kind to make my Bocado #Omelet with #eggwhites, #Bacon, #avocado and #MontereyJack. Topped with sour cream and served with a side of housemade Pico de gallo. {I said no bread, don't eat the bread} they are always very attentive to my gluten allergies! The staff is always very friendly, knowledgeable and professional for the busy business that happens there weekend mornings, they are the awesomest. That being said I recommend to get on waitlist during the weekend. They also make delicious and refreshing fresh juices and they will let you make your own concoction if you ask nicely. They always deliver a delicious breakfast and lunch experience!! read more
