First Watch is a great place especially if you can decide between breakfast and lunch or have people who don't like the traditional brunch options since they have such a large menu! Note they are usually busy but have a waitlist online. I love that they have fresh juices and I truly feel everything is priced very reasonable. read more

Great visit here. Stopped on a weekday so there was plenty of room and we were seated quickly. My husband has preferences with his pancakes but really liked the blueberry multigrain pancake and compote with his breakfast. I loved the well-seasoned potatoes and multigrain toast with preserves. The coffee was okay but I really appreciated the take home cup offered. Good sized portions, too. We will definitely be back and will have to try one of the specials! read more

Delicious breakfast joint! Id recommend the quinoa, chicken with added avocados! (great for those calorie counting!) The bacon there is also great, it's marinated in maple syrup! read more

Great pricing for the food in WI. May be I'm used to pricing in larger cities... but service was fast and great. Of course during lunch on a weekday was dominated by retirees. But had the donuts to share with 2 other people and the hash was great. read more

First watch is my favorite vacation spot for breakfast. As a Minnesotan with no First Watch near me, every chance I get to go is taken. The food is consistently good and the service is great. It is always busy with good energy and morning vibes. I've heard great things about the iced coffee. I tried their elote burrito and it was full of flavor and very saucy! I enjoyed every bite. Will be back soon!! read more

I would like to give praise to Luis at the First Watch Brookfield location. He provides consistent outstanding service every time he is my server, but today I witnessed him about to deliver extra plates to the table next to me only to stop short, step aside and wait, as the guests were giving thanks prior to eating. It was nice to see that respect given to First Watch customers. Luis is a class act! read more

I enjoyed this place! Ambience upon walking in is great with music, low volume atmosphere but social at the same time. I really enjoyed the food too!! I got the trifecta breakfast combo with sunny side up eggs and chicken meat patties. The pancakes were pretty yummy!! I've never tried multigrain pancakes before but these were pretty good compared to my expectations! My chicken meat patties were also very flavorful and great in texture! Definitely a dish highlight! Overall pretty good experience! Customer service was decent and easy and the food was pretty good. read more

Good healthy food options here. It's not easy to make a full breakfast that's both delicious and filling and isn't 4000 calories. Loved the interior as well, very well lit where we were seated. Service was good too, I'd definitely eat here again. read more

Outstanding variety on the menu. Prompt service. Upbeat, fun atmosphere with great music. read more

Love the new menu and healthy options! Eggs poached to perfection with delicious fresh baguettes and just the right amount of hollandaise. Love the greens side option too. Clean and fresh amenities always appreciated as well as the ability to join the waitlist ahead of time read more

First Watch is one of my go to breakfast spots. They always have tasty, flavorful food options. The servers are always so friendly and never too much in your face. It's a great place to catch up with friends and have a good brunch! I love going there in the fall as well because they always have specials for each time of year. This year it was the double crunch tacos (pictured below). read more

I was really disappointed in the food quality. I hadn't been in a long time I was excited when arrived and extremely disappointed when we left. Our wait staff gave good service but the cooking staff didn't support her efforts. The restaurant it self is a typical brunch space. read more

Great food with a variety of omelettes, pancakes and other breakfast fare. I've only had breakfast here, multiple times over the past 7 years when we are in Brookfield. Can get busy but we haven't had to wait for more than a few minutes. Wait staff is efficient and attentive. We will return. read more

Stopped by early for Sunday brunch. We got there around 9 and could get seated right away for 2. They were quick to bring coffee, water, and an additional juice. The waitress was speedy and we could pay our bill right at the table which made the process easy. Now to the food - the lemon ricotta pancakes were ok. I don't think I'll order them again because they were fairly dry, even with the lemon ricotta topping. Very basic and they could have used more fruit topping or just something to make them more moist. The watermelon juice was a nice touch, and I did enjoy it. I don't think what we got was worth the price. I would prefer to go somewhere a little bit smaller and local for what we paid. read more

Came here with my husband for the first time when we were staying in Milwaukee and I absolutely loved this place! From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out, we had stellar service and everyone was so friendly. I ordered the iced coffe, and it was smooth and delicious... I'd come here just for this! (Not really but kinda!) My husband ordered eggs Benedict and a side of sausage links, while I ordered the avocado toast with eggs over medium and a side of Million Dollar Bacon. THIS BACON. OMG. Let me tell you it's priceless and worth more than a million dollars. Basically it's just candied bacon with a bunch of maple syrup on it, but it's amazing if you like maple bacon! The avocado toast was also so fresh and full of flavor and the eggs were perfectly cooked so I could put it on top of the avocado toast and bite into it so the yolk would run a little bit all over it without making a huge mess. After leaving, I learned that this is actually a chain and that they have a new restaurant close to where we live, so I'm excited to continue my relationship with First Watch here near Chicago! Can't wait to come back! read more

I've been to First Watch a few times, and I'm always very impressed at how nice their staff is to customers. My go to meal is the half salad and sandwich. They have a very good Cobb salad, fresh tasting ingredients. I also like how you can join the waitlist online. read more

Was craving something healthy near where I was at and found First Watch on Yelp. I immediately was drawn to the healthy menu options including the kale salad! I walked in and put my name on the list. I don't often dine alone but was in the area for an appointment. I was called in about 15 minutes (Saturday afternoon) and led to a well-lit corner table. The server immediately came by and asked me if what I wanted to drink. I opted for the blackberry iced tea which was fantastic and fresh. I ended up ordering a 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad: the monterey sandwich and the kale salad. The kale salad was delicious. I loved the flavors and textures and immediately gobbled it up. I personally found the monterey club a little too salty so I only had a few bites. Service was fantastic and I was able to get some work done while I ate. There is a small parking lot off to the side with spaces (if there aren't spaces in the large plaza). Would definitely return and bring someone! read more

Even though it's a chain, First Watch is one of my favorite brunch spots in the area. Every time I've visited, the food has been delicious. Today, I ordered the Belgian waffle. It was perfectly golden and crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The berry compote that accompanied the dish was a little tart, which complemented the sweetness of the waffle perfectly. However, it is a bit expensive for what you're actually getting. The Belgian waffle was listed on the menu for $9.49. In all honesty, I think this dish is worth half the price. The waffle isn't very large and it can be finished pretty quickly. This dish isn't filling at all, so I'd recommend ordering a side to go with it. Some berries on top would also be wonderful. The ambience at First Watch is great. The restaurant is decorated in a modern farmhouse aesthetic, which pairs well with what is offered on the menu. It is a bit loud inside, but it's bearable. There is plenty of seating inside and a few tables outdoors on the patio. I have always been seated as soon as I walked in. I'd ask for a booth because the tables themselves are a little too close together. Also, there is plenty of parking outside the restaurant. Our server today was pretty good. He got our orders right away and the food came out quickly. However, he didn't return to check up on my party and the bill was slapped on our table about fifteen minutes after our food was delivered. It all felt very rushed. All in all, I would recommend visiting First Watch. The food is yummy and the service is quick - there's not much more you could ask for. read more

Food was Excellent as usual. Had my regular Protein bowl with quinoa, kale, mushrooms, turkey sausage instead of Italian. 2 eggs Sunnyside up n added avocado. Decafe coffee is brewed just right. Makes 2 meals for me.​​ Service by Luis my waiter was Excellent also. Manager David came by to see how things were. Nice touch. I used to do that also as a manager in my prior life. read more

Went here for an afternoon lunch with family and it was a great place! The service was good and quick and the food was delicious.

I wish there was a First Watch location closer to where I live, because it's the perfect little in-and-out cafe with plenty of delicious menu options. My husband and I were running errands on a Saturday afternoon out in Brookfield and stumbled upon this place. We both noted our enjoyment of the atmosphere as soon as we sat down - kind of like diner vibes, but nicer. The decor is cute, making the place feel inviting. After being immediately sat, a server dropped us some menus and I knew right away it was going to be tough to decide. Their options range from all-things-breakfast (omelets, griddles, power bowls, and avo toasts) to a wide range of soups, salads and sandwiches. There's even a "healthier side" as listed on the menu, which I always appreciate. Luckily they have a "pick two" option allowing for you to combine items. In the end, I went for 1/2 of the monterey club sammie and a cup of tomato basil soup. The sandwich was damn good, packed with turkey, bacon, avocado, organic mixed greens, tomato, and monterey jack cheese atop of squishy sourdough. I was also a big fan of the creamy soup. Everything is fresh and made to order here. Service is SO fast. Parking is easy and accessible. There's patio seating options available. Five star experience all around. read more

I had my birthday coupon offer for buy one get one free which is an awesome deal (2 meals for $12 depending on what you get). A tip to get offers sign up for their email club. My daughter & I ordered online for pickup which consists of: The Trifecta (big chocolate chip pancake, eggs & 1 pork sausage) & Chickichanga side of fruit & order of potato's (I opted for sauce & sour cream on the side). All our food was packaged & ready to go as soon as I walked it which was amazing. We had all our syrups, sauces & they even added mints in our bag which was a nice touch w/ my name & smile. We will definitely recommend this restaurant for online pickup & or dine if you have time. read more

The service was poor. I ordered the shrimp/grits which was really good. My husband ordered the french toast. It was dry at first bite; thus, he requested to order the shrimp/grits. The french toast was not removed from the bill, though the waitress took the plate away from the table. We would have preferred to give it to the homeless since we were paying for it. My husband's shrimp/grits was missing the sausage. The waitress informed my husband he had been given the wrong plate. It was taken away, and he was given another plate of shrimp/grits. That plate was missing the bread. With both dishes, he would've needed a new fork (bc the fork was taken with the french toast when it was taken away). He was not given a fork though one was requested. He ate it with a spoon until I made a second request for the fork. He only ate half of the shrimp/grits bc the grits were watery (unlike my plate). What appeared to be a host came to the table and asked if our meals were satisfactory. It appeared to be a disingenuous question that he asked robotically as a part of is routine. Before my husband could answer the question, the host grabbed the plates from the table and walked away. The only thing he enjoyed was his drink. The bill totaled about $80, and half of the bill was food that was not prepared well. This was our first time trying this restaurant. It was a huge disappointment. read more

I forgot about this place and Brookfield can always use more brunch spots! It is a busy place but usually they get you in fast! Lots of variety on their menu. Seasonal specials. The potatoes are really good! I love their pancakes as well. Everything seems fresh and well prepared. It is large so it doesn't take too long. We will be adding this in to our weekend brunch rotation! read more

First Watch - Breakfast! Yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

This was my first time at a First Watch and I thought it was pretty good. I was dining solo before a nearby nail appointment - since I was there at an off peak time (10am Tuesday) there was no wait. That said it was still bustling and I'd imagine weekends get slammed. The space is open and bright, with restful gray tones and lots of wood. Menu wise, expect breakfast, brunch and lunch classics with lots of choices. I opted for the trifecta ($11) which netted me a waffle, 2 eggs and a turkey sausage patty. Everything was cooked well, including my eggs and tasted good. I especially liked the small ramekin of raspberry compote that came with - it was served warm and wasn't overly sweet. My good came quickly, service was good and the prices were reasonable. First Watch won't replace my regular breakfast places but I would go back if I was nearby. read more

Really liked the ambiance of this restaurant, especially the open kitchen. Felt like I was literally at the farm! I'm usually not a big brunch person, but I really enjoyed First Watch! The chefs were very flexible and said they could adjust almost any item to make it vegetarian. I got the farmhouse skillet hash with mushrooms instead of bacon. The reason why I'm giving this restaurant 4/5 is because I felt like the portions were small for what I was paying. read more

First Watch - Farmhouse skillet hash with mushrooms instead of bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

I came here with my family last Sunday. When the meal came, they forgot to bring syrup for the grandkids pancakes and the hot tea my wife ordered. When they did, they reached across my plate to place the syrup on the table and again to give my wife her tea. The bill was $77. When I saw the tipping options I almost lost it. The lowest suggested amount was 20%!!!! I had the option of giving 20%, 22% or an outrageous 25%!!!! That isn't a tip. Those are wages! The 20% tip I selected came to $14. For what? Forgetting the syrup and tea and reaching across my plate twice? And when did tips become so incredibly stupid? 25%???? $14 for a couple of minutes worth of work? You have GOT to be kidding. Pay your waitstaff decently and stop brow-beating customers into giving ridiculous tips. I think it will be a long time before I come to First Watch again. read more

We go out for breakfast and brunch (as a family and for business meals) quite a bit. Have been to many different places. First Watch stands apart for the quality of its food, the excellent service and bright and clean interior. To start, their Juice Bar juices are awesome. The Purple Haze and Kale Tonic are our family's go-to drinks to freshen the mouth. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and there are plenty of choices for meat lovers as well as vegetarians. My favorite omelet is the Frittata Rustica - a delicious change from the greasy, cheese laden omelets you find elsewhere. You should try their pancakes too as they just have a healthier, more flavorful taste than most places. And of course, the never ending pot of coffee is a nice addition. Staff is friendly, attentive and takes good care of us no matter how busy they are. I do advise you take advantage of their call-ahead waitlist to avoid waiting, especially on weekends. read more

First Watch is a national (400 sites) breakfast/brunch/lunch chain that has four locations in the Milwuakee area. It's use of fresh local ingredients and its huge variety of creative preparations make it a popular challenge to Milwaukee's favorite Blue's Egg. We each had a soup and salad with a muffin. Portions are reasonable for the cost. The air conditioning was set very cold on the day we visited and the live acoustics make the place LOUD (hard to carry on a conversation) at peak times. read more

Staff said it was unusually busy for a Friday morning so I'll give them a pass for waiting over 25 minutes for our breakfast order to get to the table. If you don't mind paying a bit extra for freshly made upscale breakfast with many choices First Watch is right up your alley. After looking at so many great choices I picked the Floridian French Toast. It was cooked perfectly and was topped with a generous supply of bananas as well as strawberries, kiwi and blueberries. I also opted for a side order of $1,000,000 Bacon but was disappointed in the quality for and extra $5. My wife had one of those healthy power bowls and she says it was good, even had some leftover to have later, very filling. The server was very nice and knowledgeable. The restaurant was clean and the tables were well spaced. They're only open for breakfast and lunch. Definitely worth the trip. read more

They have a great menu so it was hard to make up our minds. I went with the healthy turkey option and my wife got the traditional breakfast with 4 delicious slices of bacon. I'm usually super naughty when it comes to ordering breakfast out. However this place has healthier options that actually sound good. The healthy turkey option was very tasty and with a few well placed dashes of Cholula it was very tasty. They cooked my wife's eggs perfectly which is a huge plus for a breakfast place. Minus half a star for undercooked potatoes though. Good job - we will definitely be back. read more
