This locations is always clean and welcoming. Breakfast was good and the server was friendly. Food came out quick and hot. We were not asked ff everything was ok or if we needed anything else during the meal, but I've noticed this is typical for First Watch locations. Overall, still a nice place to enjoy breakfast. read more

Highly recommend avoiding this place. My six year old and I sat for 20 minutes without one person coming over and even offering water. I finally said something and the guy just walked away. We eventually had to walk out. They didn't seem to care at all. It was my first time trying a first watch and i will not be back :( read more

First time here and it was a bit of a rough start with the initial service but progressed well after we finally got seen by our actual server. The food was great, I had "The Works" and a glass of kale tonic. The ambiance was casual setting and good networking or one on one meeting. read more

I came here with a friend this morning. We were told the wait would be 15-20 mins but wasn't nearly that long. Nathan was our server and he was awesome!! Really sweet and did a great job. I got an iced coffee and asked for almond milk but unfortunately they were out and all they had was oat milk. Not ideal for this low carb gal, but I just had a little and wasn't the end of the world. What was nice was he brought it out just in case it was ok instead of making me wait. I got the FRITTATA RUSTICA which is an omelette with kale, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions and tomatoes topped with Mozzarella and Parmesan. Served with ciabatta toast and lemon-dressed organic mixed greens. I subbed out the toast for some fruit and it was good! The ambiance was busy and loud but not terribly so (and to be expected for a Sunday morning). A great experience and I would return. read more

Been over a year since our last visit; food went back up a notch; tried the lemon ricotta pancakes again and they were finally back to original excellence, moist and yet light, delicious and generous custard, a real treat. Wife reports that the poached eggs were done correctly! Everyone was very pleasant and the service was surprisingly m, even astonishingly, fast!!! Would've gone back up to 5 stars but the table and booth seat both still had scraps of food on them from the prior customers- that's NOT a good wipe down. Other than that, it was very much worth the revisit. read more

Our Yelp challenge in 2022 is to try as many local diners in south Florida as we can...and to find the best one! Location #1 - First Watch, Boca Raton (near 441 & Glades) Located in Mission Bay Plaza, this First Watch is part of a chain of diners that has locations from Jupiter all the way down to Miami. We stopped in for breakfast last Saturday. There was a good amount of parking available out front. Upon entry we were seated right away. The staff was pleasant and friendly and very hard working. The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice. They went with the modern country type vibe which is fresh and appealing. Lots of wood, string lights hanging off the beams, sliding barn door by the bathrooms, chalkboard with specials, etc. The noise level was very strong, almost a bit too strong if you're looking to have a conversation. As for food I went with the Morning Market omelette which came with roasted zucchini, Crimini mushrooms, shallots, kale, tomatoes and goat cheese. I also got a side of home fries and a side of "dressed greens" . My wife got the veggie burger with a vegetable soup and my kid got the grilled cheese and home fries. The food was not good at all. My omelette was not hot (more like a bit below room temperature) and while the filling was flavorful, it was colder than the eggs. There was also not enough of it inside. My dressed greens were basically 99% spinach with 1 or 2 arugula and raddichio leaves, with a layer of flavorless oil. It would have been nice if there was vinegar or citrus or something sharp and astringent to cut through all of the oil. Some seasoning would have been nice as well. My wife hated her meal. She said the veggie burger has a slimy exterior and was overly salty. And her soup was very poorly seasoned, lacked flavor (even salt) and seemed like it came out of a can. She took one bite of each item and then decided to not eat the rest. As for my kids grilled cheese, it was about as basic and poorly made of a grilled cheese as you can get. The bread wasn't crispy at all and the cheese was barely melted, so it was like a lukewarm cheese sandwich on white bread. Blech. Overall, we left quite disappointed. While there were some upsides, like the well done decor and competent wait staff, the food was irredeemably bad. Summary: Food (1/5) - Embarrassingly bad. I almost can't believe that a professional kitchen put out this dreck. It was (bad) school lunch quality. Atmosphere (4/5) - Nice comfortable dining room, a pleasant space for sure. Noise level got to be a bit shrill unfortunately as it was crowded. Service (4/5) - The wait staff was very nice to interact with and did a great job overall. Value (1/5) - The pricing was a bit on the high side, but considering the food was so poor I think it's a bad value at any price. Overall (1/5) - According to my grading profile, First Watch should be 2.5 stars. However, I feel that 1 is more appropriate, given just how awful our food was. If you can't make a grilled cheese or serve a hot omelette in your diner, you don't deserve any stars, frankly. 2022 Diner Challenge Rankings: 1. First Watch, Boca Raton (First review so they are in first right now, but they will likely be cellar dwellers going forward). read more

My mother likes this place so we stopped in for lunch the other day. The dining room is spacious, clean, and has a farmhouse vibe going on. First Watch serves breakfast all day until closing in the afternoon. They also have a lunch menu. I ordered the Turkey club sandwich. Although it was good, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary that made it stand apart from other clubs that I've had. The bread was a little too soft- almost soggy in places. It certainly wasn't strong enough to hold the contents of the sandwich together. It ended up being a messy, but satisfying club sandwich. Oh and the coffee was good. Would I come back again? Yes- but probably will stick with breakfast fare next time around. read more

My friends and I decided to come here for breakfast. It was over a year since we saw each other so there was a lot to catch up on. They had indoor seating and it was crowded. Masks were not required. We were seated right away. The waitress, Kaitlyn was very nice but she was busy and not very attentive. We ordered coffee and she forgot a few mugs so it was a while until she came back and we had to ask for a few more. The menu has plenty of options. Healthy choices like steel-cut oatmeal with fruit, a yogurt bowl, and of course the classics: eggs benedict and pancakes and omelets to name a few. Avocado toast: Thick-cut whole-grain toast topped with fresh avocado, and 2 eggs. You can also substitute egg whites for a healthier choice. Tri-Athlete: Egg white omelet with house-roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and green chilies. Served with pico de gallo, thick whole-grain toast, homemade house preserves, and fresh fruit. Pancakes: I had the 2 whole-grain pancakes. They were fluffy and delish. The menu said they were big but they were huge and enough for 2 or 3. I was starving and could only eat half!!! This is a great place for breakfast. I loved the food. The service was just OK. Our server never came back after they delivered our food and it would have been nice to get a little more coffee. We ran out of creamer and it was never refilled. We weren't too disappointed, because with 7 of us, we had a lot to catch up on and we were there for over 2 hours. I'm sure the server saw a table of women and figured she wouldn't get a tip, but we took care of her with over 30% and not only did we eat but we ordered food to go too and the total bill was close to $200!!! So never assume! I love how they give the calorie count and nutrition on the menu. The food is good and they are all over the area. This one is in Mission Bay on the side after Fresh Market, facing 44, near Tijuana Flats. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot. Get there early, because as we were leaving there was a huge line. read more

This place never disappoints. I came by last week and their skillets are always the best!! Filling, flavorful and courteous. Erica was great and very professional. Today I came back and Joselyn was very pleasant. I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes . It was just great, fluffy and hot. My sister ordered the carrot cake pancakes and she loved it! She also ordered a blueberry pancakes as she could not decide what she wanted. (You can mix and match pancakes ) read more

Honestly I order here to go a lot for work but last few times now every time I order the bacado they give you BAD avocados! Like it's disgusting to see this when you open up your food. This has happen multiple times but when your order in the restaurant sitting down it's fine. If you're giving to go customers the bad food to see when you get home that's just wrong! On top they almost always forget to give the salsa it comes with and jelly for bread. Honestly don't order to go from this place! Other locations are much better read more

Had no idea this restaurant existed until I received a BOGO coupon in the mail. At first glance, the unappealing name conjured up images of ambulances and security cameras! LOL! Since the menu was a mishmash of combined flavors, I decided to play it safe by having the traditional breakfast. I believe they gave me a turkey sausage instead of pork. Overall, it was ok. read more

They are a pretty basic breakfast joint but the food isnt bad. Portions are kind small though. You can pretty much order all these breakfast food at ihop and a basic bagel place. Service was okay, as i had to keep asking for ketchup and nobody was bringing it to me. Would go back but I wouldnt recommend to anyone out of town. read more

Another great visit today with my son to First Watch. Since he is determined to eat healthy, we like going to this venue. We both ordered breakfast. His was the Super Bowl and mine the Trifecta. The Super Bowl was basically a bowl with fruit and granola, served with toast that was smeared with peanut butter. The Trifecta consisted of two eggs, two sausage and a pancake. You could choose how you wanted your eggs, chicken patty, sausage or bacon and pancake. Although my food arrived cold, the pancake and sausages were truly delicious. We both ordered coffee. My son asked for a non dairy creamer without preservatives or chemicals. They said they only had the half and half or soy creamers on the table that all have chemical preservatives. So much for it being a healthy restaurant, lol. My take on First Watch: Good service Clean Restaurant Interesting Menu Choices Above average in price read more

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

First Watch is to me Americana. Kind of reminds me of Bob's Big Boys Hamburger, Steak N Ale, Bennigans, Beefsteak Charlie's and still existing chains like Taco Bell, Olive Garden, Macaroni Grill and the great Outback Steakhouse except that it's specialty is breakfast (or brunch). Today I had a delicious meal of their "7 bite" scrambled eggs special, potatos and a toasted English muffin. Take a look at the photo - I was generous in naming it the "7 bite scrambled egg special". Much like the famous Wendy's commercial "Where's the Beef" I would have been embarrassed bringing out the 7 bite special to a diner. And ...as a bonus the hardened toasted around the rims English muffin could have rendered an unhelmeted hockey player with a concussion if hit with them. Others with me had other issues. I was going to give them a generous 2 stars but since they were so "ungenerous" with their food I've elected to put myself in the same frame of mind and give them 1 star. Obviously I as did my two other diners left hungry. read more

I've had a couple of mixed experiences. Pancakes are great. Only order one or two. I can't finish two. I can't get eggs right. I order over medium and they come out too raw. I order an omelet and it is not fluffy at all. The toast that comes with eggs is one slice. If you like bread ask for more. Service is attentive. But, the kitchen does not get my vote. read more

Again nothing special from this place, the food was just OK. It's a good spot for a quick run in and out for breakfast. I had the pancake, sausage, scrambled eggs, and bread. The sausage was tasteless, the pancake was fluffy and pretty decent. An egg is an egg. It's not my first choice I but it's one of the few breakfast places around read more

When you're up early and the other local breakfast spots aren't open, First Watch is a welcome treat. This location was well staffed for a Saturday morning, so wait times to get seated weren't long, drinks and food didn't take long either. Not to mention everyone was friendly/helpful as well. If there is a bit of a wait to sit, they do have water and coffee available to self serve while waiting. My new thing to venture and try at these places is their iced coffee, and boy was it good! Not too sweet nor watered down and enough coffee depth. My boyfriend askd for hot tea which they brought out a little array of tea packets, including hibiscus, and a few lemons wedges. His only qualm was that they bring out the hot water in the same thermos that they use for coffee, so it had a lingering coffee aroma too it. Would be better if they had a few labeled for just hot water or use a different style to tell the difference. On another note, for those who do choose the coffee route, they offer different flavored creamers in a dish on the table, including a dairy free one! I ordered the Floridian french toast and he had The Works omelette with a side of their Million Dollar Bacon. French toast was as expected with different fruit sliced on top and served with a berry compote on the side. His omelette was good as well with sides of hearty wheat toast and jelly and the mixed greens. Slight issue here where their very basic commercial utensils don't serve the purpose for eating salad very well..the tines on the fork are so crude they dont pierce the salad well, would be better off with a plastic fork. The million dollar bacon was delish, thick and sweet, but does pack a little heat on the back end, so if you're sensitive to spicy, beware. After trying it I just had a bit of their maple syrup(not the real kind) on its own to subdue the heat left in my mouth, as my iced coffee was all finished (enjoyed it too fast). Visually this place is clean and homey with a country vibe, not too cluttered or dark though, has a nice bright morning feel. read more

This place is not the same as it used to be at all, not sure if there is new management or something ... used to be one of my favorites breakfast places but now the service is terrible, place is dirty now used to be spotless, wrong order & had to be sent back, waited 20 minutes for breakfast and 1 person at our table got their food when everyone else was done eating, waitress didn't really care read more

Disappointed. Had breakfast there today. One kids pancake had too few chocolate chips. Coffee was luke warm. Omelettes came out okay. " Well Done" eggs always come out warm and under cooked. Bacon was way overcooked leaving a dried out slab of crunchy meat. It will be a long time before they see us again. read more

I love First Watch, so maybe this was just an off day with an off waitress. It is great that you can put yourself on the waitlist with yelp. I did that to avoid my grandma having to wait. We showed up and skipped the very long Saturday morning wait. The table we were taken to hadn't been cleaned of crumbs or food morsels. My order of avocado toast was perfect and they allowed me to sub the eggs for potatoes instead. The waitress wrote my mom's and grandma's orders wrong though. They received the wrong thing. Then she brought out the wrong thing again and nearly spilled hot soup on my grandma which scared the daylights out of her. Once everything was right though, the food tasted great. read more

We've been trying to come here for a while as our family is the brunch type of a family. For our first visit, we had to wait for 10 minutes. We quickly realized that it's a diner type joint - don't expect good service as in all the waiters/waitresses are super busy. Food came out rather quickly though. My son ordered the chickichanga and green tonic, and I ordered the hash with briskets with cheese curds and mushrooms. I had their coffee for that morning. Descent quality food for the prices; thus the repeat visit a week after. This time we brought hubby who's notoriously picky about brunch and their services. He was happy with the food, but no comment on the service. He was just happy that food came out faster than other places. This happy hubby had the egg sandwich and coffee, I had their trifecta (their belgium waffle is super awesome), and my son had the same chickichanga with red medicine which is awesome as well. On the food side, if we had to be picky about, it would be the coffee. Descent coffee but what's up with the coffee mate?? Would have been much better with fresh cream or milk. All in all 7/10 but we highly recommend and will definitely come back again and again. read more

First time here. Last time here. Dog in here...giant dog... unhygienic. Not cool. Also, my brioche bun tasted like a regular burger bun. Staff petting dog (with out gloves), returned to work to serve other customers...didn't wash hands...pretty gross! No.kay! Hey Cassi, you don't necessarily need to private message me for my personal cell #. Simply change your store policy to be more mindful of persons who do not wish to dine with furry vermin/ dogs / pets... people have allergies and should not be subjected to that. Animals shouldn't be allowed in restaurants. The female member of staff that walked by to pet the dog is also a cause for concern. That was just gross and unnecessary. read more

95% of Raw horrible "seasoned " potatoes... that's what you're going to receive on every salty dish you ask for. They can't even get the eggs right... and it's a breakfast place. Asked for the Al pastor tacos and all I got was a full dish of potatoes, three small pieces of pineapple and definitely not pork. Two tortillas that was not able to use for nothing as I wasn't going to make tacos of potato... IHOP by far is way more delicious and even healthier than this place. Coffee was served cold. Not one time but I gave 3 chances as people like it that much but not anymore. Never going back to that place, when there are sooo many more and which are actually good. read more
