Stopped into First Watch at Brentwood Square and had a great experience from start to finish. The service was friendly, quick, and on point--everyone I interacted with was polite and attentive without hovering. The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can really tell they use quality ingredients, and everything tasted like it was made with care. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had that relaxed First Watch vibe that makes breakfast or brunch feel easy. Overall, just a smooth experience all around. Definitely one of the better breakfast spots in the Brentwood area. I'll be back for sure! read more

On a crazy busy Sunday brunch with two nearby university parent weekends our group of four chose First Watch. The jump in line on the app has been in the past extremely reliable. We arrived in the time frame and reported to the hostess station. We were told 10 more minutes, but ended up only being 5. The friendly host sat us at a great table away from the crowds which helped noise volume. He set our table up with menus and tableware. The restaurant was packed! Every table occupied and staff hustling harmoniously. It was noisy as could be expected. Our super enthusiastic waitress brought a water craft and got additional drink orders. In short order she was back to take food orders. We put in an app of Million Dollar Bacon. However, the table required more time for mains. Within 5 minutes she was back. The app arrived in minutes and so good! If you've never got this it's a must! I ordered the avocado toast with scrambled eggs. My wife the traditional and son pancakes and bacon. Our fourth French toast. Food hit the table in under 15 minutes...wow! That impressed me. But moreover everything was hot and accurate. No complaints from anyone. My dish is always reliable when coming to First Watch. An overall above average experience that was made better by strong service. The performance of the staff stood out and elevated my rating. Checkout was smooth and I utilized a coupon promotion for buy one get one. I never have a coupon when eating out, so this was awesome to get $20 knocked off. So I flipped it back to the server for a larger tip. I think this is my first 5 star review for the breakfast and brunch chain and so well deserved. The GM should be proud of how the staff works together to provide such a high level of quality hospitality. I would return in a heartbeat. read more

Went on Father's Day and had a great experience. Joined the online waitlist and got seated immediately when we arrived. Our server was great and very attentive and answered all of our questions. The menu had lots of options with reasonable prices. The biscuit and preserves were very tasty. The iced coffee was good but did slightly taste like it had alcohol in it. We were concerned at first but I think that's just how it tastes which was good to us. Would come back and enjoy a nice brunch. Great location for me and close to some shopping spots. read more

My friend and I went here for breakfast and had a great time! We both tried the new Barbacoa Breakfast tacos and we loved them! I also upgraded my side of potatoes to the "loaded" option and they were AMAZING!!! We also had the normal iced coffee with some chocolate sauce lining the glass. The waitress was friendly and checked in with us a few times throughout our meal. The restaurant is decorated for fall and it's super cute. Go check out their limited fall menu while you can! read more

Always good food and great service. Was seated right away with a party of 6. Our server was Trevor. He was so nice, polite and attentive. I ordered a trifecta (waffles, eggs and chicken sausage) and a morning meditation( my favorite)! Everything was fresh and made to order. Very clean and open restaurant with plenty of seating! Definitely will be back to this location. read more

First Watch is literally the best and most consistent breakfast place!!! No one can change my mind. I love to try new things on their menu which usually isn't like me. At most places, I always go with what I know but everything I try is so freakin good. The last time I was in, I tried their Tri Athlete Omelet and I absolutely loved it. My boyfriend ordered one of their specials and was raving about it. (He also tries new things each time too) I love how the specials are always changing and leave you wanting more after each visit. I must add the service is always spectacular. Last time we were in, we were given complimentary donut holes since the wait on my boyfriend's entree was longer than expected. We didn't even notice or have this complaint either! Also, on his birthday months ago the server gave him a cute dessert with a candle on it. First Watch employees always going above and beyond for us and that's another reason we continue coming back. read more

First Watch serves incredible food at a very reasonable price for what great quality it is. Coffee is served by the pot, bacon is highly visible across the menu, and there is a plethora of breakfast items and lunch spreads that will be served any time the restaurant is open. I've never had bad service here either. Definitely recommend going to any location of this national chain restaurant! read more

Not a huge fan of chains, but First Watch is definitely on my list of favorite spots. The farmhouse skillet (with goat cheese) is my go-to every time I go. The service is always on point and the staff here know how to make a birthday special. This location is a little loud & echoey and they don't have outdoor seating, but still light and airy ambiance with lots of windows. read more

I dropped by this FW location for breakfast on this snowy Saturday. It had a wait time of 20 mins so I sat at the bar area. I ordered a yogurt bowl w/ fresh fruit top and 2 scrambled gas on the side with coffee. I was expecting a long wait from the lines but was happy to get my food in about 5 minutes. The server knew me and that I drink coffee only because I like half&half and brown sugar. So I got the carafe of coffee right away and was good to go when the food arrived. The eggs were great and that may seem strange to say, but they were hot, shiny (moist) but fully cooked. Great!! The yogurt parfait was delicious. This is only the 2nd time I got a FW yogurt bowl and it was better than the first. Fully covered with fresh sliced strawberries along with a few fresh pineapple chunks and plenty of granola. This was a better menu item than the same thing at Hatch'd. Coffee was good and as I indicated the server knew me and brought out a full cup of half and half. Everything was great and the server pulled a few moments out while serving my bar neighbors to do a bit of small talk with me. It was a very good breakfast and I recommend it!! read more

We LOVE our First Watch, largely because of our server, April. April is always perky and friendly, as well as being efficient and an ambassador for the restaurant! The food is consistently yummy, and we are always happy with our fantastic server, April! read more

Great experience, the skillets were great and service was relatively fast given the breakfast crowd. The seasonal christmas cranberry black tea drink was good, but also just tasted just like plain cranberry juice.

French toast was very good. Service was excellent! It was a busy Saturday brunch time, we did wait for about 15 min. I thought that was pretty fast considering the people waiting. I would go back for sure. The only thing I noticed was the noise was hard to talk over. Not a big deal, if the food and service are good. We live in California, so not sure when I'd ever go back. read more

Came on a Sunday morning for brunch. Service was great, our server checked in a bunch and told us we could stay as long as we'd like. The only thing service-wise is that when we went to pay, they struggled to split the bill down the middle, which doesn't seem too hard to do, so we ended up paying for a plate each. Food-wise, it was what you would expect for a chain restaurant: good enough but not the best I've had. We shared a Belgian waffle and the BLT eggs Benedict. Coffee was $3.75 which is a little pricey for just a cup but I guess it is bottomless. Overall, I really liked our server and the food was decent for a chain. read more

Great food and great service. Go early for the best experience possible. Our server was wonderful. Everyone was very satisfied

It's been a while since I've been back to first watch and I'm glad I came back. Their menu had really expanded and I really like the food and drink options. While they serve mimosa and sangria, I went for the non alcoholic beverage purple haze. My grandmother ordered the sunset i believe which is also non alcoholic. Both really tasty. The service was good. I felt our server was attentive and our food came out at a decent time despite the brunch rush. The food was delicious!! So good, fresh fruit and just good all around. Only thing I didn't like was how small the tables are and how close you are seated next to people. Next time I'll put in a request while waiting. Other than that, I'll definitely return for the food. read more

It's a breakfast place ...and a chain...but nonetheless, it's pretty interesting. Busy to be sure -- were told the wait was 15-20; it was actually more like 5. I figure busy is good -- I'm a believer that the restaurant market is efficient, and a wait means a place is worth waiting for. The menu is kind of what you'd expect with a few interesting turns. Eggs, omelets, pancakes, Benedicts, and a few other variations on breakfast themes. My companion had the bacon/avocado omelet, which, as advertised, had a ton of bacon and was mighty tasty. Came with delish multi grain toast and cheesy grits, which were surprisingly good tor someone who's used to that dish prepared in the south. I had the Hacienda Hash -- potatoes, chorizo, cheese, and eggs -- and it was very much as expected...if a little heavy on the spuds. Three stars for food -- an additional one for a super upbeat server. Won't change your life, but a good, solid breakfast. read more

The food at First Watch, never disappoints me. It doesn't matter which location you dine at, the food is always top-notch. The service is consistently good, too. For me, this Brentwood location is my current favorite. I was in the area for business and after I was done, I decided to have a late breakfast. There was no need to check Yelp for options, I knew where I wanted to go. A bonus of dining here is, when you are done eating you can shop many of the near-by stores. I typically always order from the special seasonal menu over their regular menu. Today, I ordered the, Cinnamon Chip Pancake Breakfast. OMG! The pancake was huge and cinnamon flavor mixed with the butter and maple syrup was delicious. It came with two eggs which I had scrambled and two slices of bacon. It was a very large and filling breakfast. I also enjoyed their coffee which is served in your own little pot, which makes refills quick and easy. From their juice bar, I chilled out with a Cranberry Crush. The cold drink was a refreshing mix of; Cranberry, Fuji Apple and Lemon juice with cane sugar and cinnamon. It was just the right amount of cane sugar. I was afraid it would be too sweet, but it was just right. I should have had them add a shot of vodka. I typically try to eat local, but First Watch is one chain that I do not mind supporting. read more

I had such a great experience here! Our waitress Abby was so nice and friendly, she really made our experience awesome. We started with the spiked lavender lemonade and Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk cocktail and both were so good. Then we got the Holey Donuts as recommended by Abby and were not disappointed. The berry dipper was so good. My entree was the Lemon Berry French Toast, and I absolutely loved it. This restaurant will definitely be on my return list! read more

The manager is very professional, customer oriented & diligent. The business is very well ran and the staff very efficient. I had a an issue with a previous day's pick-up order. The manager corrected the issue the next day. They are one of my go-to brunch spots at this location. She compensated me well for my inconvenience!

This location was crowded, but easy to sign up for a spot on the wait list so we didn't have to wait too long. The table didn't feel too cramped, despite the number of tables and the number of people. I had to order a gluten and dairy free meal and I'm always nervous that it will actually come out correctly, but it did so that was exciting! I wanted to order an iced latte, but they told me it was pre-mixed so there was no way to get it with a different milk. That seemed pretty odd to me and I wasn't offered any alternative. Everyone else liked their drinks and food too! Paying was a bit of a hassle as we got up at the same time as some other big parties so we were awkwardly waiting in a long line and people were trying to get around us. Leaving was also weird because there's only one entry door and everyone is coming in or waiting there for their table. read more

It was so easy to order from them! Placed our order online, paid, picked it up and left. The employees that I came across there were friendly but the food! I can see why this place has such high ratings-- the food was really pretty and tasted good. I had the veggie omelet, with gluten free toast, hubby had a breakfast sandwich and a muffin. Both of our meals came with fresh fruits; we got lucky because our berries were sweet. Hubby had apple juice and iced coffee, while I had a kale juice and iced coffee. Everything was yummy. We left happy. Big thank you to everyone who helped with our delicious breakfast! read more

We love a good visit to First Watch! The staff is always so quick to serve without compromising quality in service. We've taken several of our friends and family here, and you honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My personal favorites are always the seasonal iced coffees they have. My only complaint is with First Watch as a whole--although they have gluten friendly options, they are not labeled clearly on the menu and are also really hard to find online. I always have to ask to be reminded of which items can be made gluten free. With how prevalent food intolerances and allergies are, this information should be way easier to find, especially online. It would be helpful if First Watch could make a separate PDF or blog post with the options that are considered gluten friendly or can be made so. read more

It was an excellent meal and service. I'm so bummed that I can't remember my servers name, she was awesome! I appreciate that we were not rushed even though we arrived 30 to 45 minutes before closing. It was a very relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Everything was delicious! read more

First Watch is an amazing place! It is busy, and it sounds like your on the market place. Love it! The menu is simple, but the food is not. It is packed so you might have to wait a bit. I had to wait, but they sent me a text message when the table is ready. I ordered the bacon, which actually tasted like a million dollar. The smoked salmon is of the hook-pun intended. Service is quick and friendly,and the kitchen is also doing a great job bringing out the many dishes people order to dine in, take out, or delivery. For sure one of the places in STL I will return too. read more
