I absolutely love this breakfast spot, the atmosphere and food is amazing. However, I'm giving 3 stars because the recent waitress was ignorant. Stacy took our order and gave us two plates of the million dollar bacon when we ordered only one and we had mentioned it was a mistake, her response was "yes you ordered two bacon plates" and she walked off. So we were forced to pay and were charged double for the bacon. She made the experience unpleasant. read more

I visited First Watch for brunch at 11 a.m. on Friday, October 16, to have lunch with my sister. The restaurant was not overly busy, but there were enough customers to create a pleasant atmosphere. We also noticed that some newer employees were being trained alongside more experienced staff, which may have contributed to a few service hiccups. The restaurant is spacious, open, and inviting. surrounded by several other restaurants, including a sandwich shop and a Mediterranean restaurant. More businesses are opening nearby, and a Sprouts grocery store is expected to open across the street. There are also additional shops and restaurants farther down the street, making this an increasingly convenient dining and shopping destination. Our server was very friendly, and overall, the service was good. However, we had to ask multiple times for a few items. The appetizer we ordered did not arrive before our meals and eventually came after we had already received our food. We also had to follow up several times for boxes, bags, and additional cups. It seemed like the staff was still adjusting to training new employees, and some team members may have been relatively new themselves. A helpful tip would be to make sure requested items are delivered promptly and to keep track of side orders, especially appetizers that are expected to arrive before the main meal. Despite these minor issues, our overall experience was positive. The food was good, the restaurant was comfortable, and the staff was pleasant. With a little more attention to timing and follow-up, the service could be even better. read more

Service was kind of horrible the day we went, but I think somebody new was being trained. Not sure, honestly. Lots of seating and it's bright and clean. Lots of decent food options with lots of healthier or fresh options. I wasn't blown away but I do appreciate the range of the menu and my parents who live locally love the place. read more

New restaurant in the area of Costco off the 10 and verrado. It's cute outside and in, very clean and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and the service was quick. We ordered the biscuits and turkey gravy, and the chipotle steak and queso hash. Normally we ordered extra gravy for the biscuits at other first watch's, but this one provided enough without requesting extra. Both meals were great. We will definitely be back - convenient location, friendly staff and good food! read more

The food was excellent! Fresh and delicious! We had the BLT Hollandaise, Million Dollar Bacon, Pumpkin Spice donut holes, lavender spiked lemonade and a fresh-squeezed morning juice. Every single item was a treat! read more

Ordered the chicken, avocado, chopped salad, but replaced the dressing with the lemon vinaigrette. Overall, a very good solid. Only reason for the 4 vs 5 is that I had to request a fill up on my iced tea a couple of times. read more

My first experience was horrible but they obviously got the kinks out. This is my third visit to this new location. My husband got a pretty basic breakfast today, eggs potatoes sausage and toast. He said "whoever makes their eggs is really good. Always perfect" I had a quinoa bowl and it was perfect. I did ask for a side of their mixed greens lemon dressing and it made it even more yummy. Sat on the patio. read more

The hash was large enough to share, it comes with a piece of toast and 2 eggs we had on the side. Good flavor with the goat cheese on top. The fresh juice is a great morning pick-me up I highly recommend it! The staff were very friendly and helpful and the restaurant is clean and homey feeling. I will be back to try new things! read more

First Watch - Million dollar bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buckeye, Arizona

Let me start out by saying I love First Watch and go really often. I was excited to try this location when I was nearby and pleased to see plenty of open seating so we didn't have to wait to be seated. We were given menus as well as some coffee. I knew right away. I was getting the traditional breakfast as well as my son. I opted for turkey sausage he chose bacon. We also ordered $1 million bacon as an appetizer service kind of dwindled at this point we had to ask multiple different people for water. Before finally bringing some out. Our friend came out pretty quick. My eggs were a little overcooked, but besides that it was OK I don't know if they're still trying to get the kinks out, but I'm pretty sure they've been open for a while now it wasn't the worst First Watch experience I've had but a little frustrating that I had to keep asking for something little like water again the food was good coffee great service just need some help. Vibes your typical First Watch I love how Brad it was inside with the windows. I also like the layout of the bar that was a little more out of the way I typically feel like I have to interrupt people at the bar to walk in certain spots of other locations it is a great set up here. read more

Great to have First Watch in Verrado. My wife loves the Farmhouse Hash. Eggs were cooked well and fluffy. Potatoes were also tasty. I usually get the Bacado but decided to try the works omelet this time. The chunks of breakfast links in the omelet were a bit odd to me. I would recommend the Bacado if you're looking for an omelet. Also what even happened to warm toast? Not just a First Watch problem. Ambiance is clean and friendly service. read more

Great new breakfast spot in Verrado. The ambiance is warm, modern, clean and welcoming. The service is fast, friendly and attentive. The food options are plenty and the coffee is never ending and fresh! The biscuit and gravy is really taste, the eggs cooked as requested and the breakfast potatoes were cooked amazing and tasted even better. My wife loved her avocado hash and my son's half waffle was fluffy and hit the spot. My daughter loved her yogurt with fruit and muffin. The service, food and atmosphere is what you would come to expect for a First Watch and this one doesn't disappoint I love having a great breakfast spot down the street!! read more

Had a great breakfast this morning with Jose as our server. We had prompt attention from our waiter, ordered from their seasonal menu and had the pumpkin pancake breakfast while my husband had the maple bacon croissant. Both delicious! Will definitely return soon! read more

I entered as soon as the restaurant opened, and although there were plenty of staff on the floor, no one seemed to know who was supposed to take our table. We sat for about 14-20 minutes before even receiving menus. Three different staff members appeared confused about who was responsible for us. One person eventually brought the menus, but a different server ended up taking over and bringing the food. Unfortunately, she seemed irritated during the few brief interactions we had with her. The food itself was just okay. The "specialized" bacon was mediocre and definitely not worth the price. Our meals arrived lukewarm, and throughout the entire visit we only received two refills in their small glasses, aside from one pitcher of water. To make matters worse, when I went to pay, there was no one at the register, and I had to wait nearly 10 minutes for someone to show up. Even then, the register wasn't working properly and required two staff members and multiple reboots just to process the payment. There were only about eight tables occupied, so it wasn't even busy. Overall, this was a disappointing and frustrating experience from start to finish. I will not be returning, which is unfortunate because I really wanted to enjoy this place. read more

First Watch - Million dollar bacon :( not so millionaire quality - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buckeye, Arizona

We came this morning for the soft opening of this location, and it was amazing! Their food is fresh and so flavorful. I got the farmhouse hash and added mushrooms, and it was delicious. We tried the donuts and they were yummy. I also had the kale juice for the first time and it was so good I want to juice myself. Our server, Stacey, was so friendly. Everyone was really nice and welcoming. The music is a tad too loud but plenty of seating and super cute decor. read more

We had the chimi steak and egg hash and the kids chocolate chip pancakes. Honestly the chimi dish was amazing st twice the price. Complex and delicious. The kids portion was very large and had perfectly cooked crispy bacon. (Sub 8 dollars). 5/5 or 10/10 read more

I love First Watch, but I will not go back to this location. The person I went with placed their order at the same time I did, they bought her order. My order never came. They also left the toast and jam off of her order and when she asked for it, they never bought it. The waitress never came back so when I approached the desk and let them know what had happened they told me to sit down and wait for the manager to come. I left and have never been back to that location. Instead, I go to the one in Avondale or Surprise, even though this one is closest to me. read more

Mine and Hubbys first time and it didn't disappoint! He got the chimichurri steak hash and ate it all!! He Said it was that good! We shared their blueberry lemon cornbread and it was heavenly! We also got the tres leches French toast and the power wrap! Tres leches French toast was really good could only take a few bites as it was super sweet for me but the power wrap was sooooo delicious for only being 500 calories, also it was super tasty as well! Our server Angallah was attentive and great! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and we will be back! Found our new breakfast spot! Oh and their Pineapple Express was refreshing and their hot coffee was great as well! Not a bad thing we had!! read more

First Watch Is The Best Breakfast Restaurant In Phoenix Hands Down. The Ambiance & Service Is Absolutely Excellent. They Have The Best Eggs Benedict In The City. Make Sure To Order Potatoes On The Side vs The Greens That I Guess Some People Like As Their Side. That's What They'll Serve You Initially. They Are Always Happy To Replace The Greens With Potatoes Which I Prefer. ALL Of The Entrees Coming Out From The Kitchen Looked Absolutely Amazing! My Wife & Mother-In-Law Raved About Their Breakfast Entrees As Well. This Is Definitely The Place To Go In Phoenix For Breakfast. We Will Definitely Be Frequent Guests!!! read more

First Watch - Traditional breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buckeye, Arizona

I love first watch however the opening has been rocky. I've gone twice now since it opened. First time the food took a more than normal wait which I found odd for soo early in morning. All other locations I've been too the food is super fast. The service was decent, however not really friendly. The 2nd visit the order was incorrect. Eggs way underdone, toast was literally dripping in butter, and it still took a super long time for the food. The mgr came and apologized, comped the dish which I appreciated and gave a BOGO card for next time. She was trying hard to make it right and I wasn't upset to begin with just disappointed that new store opening hasn't been great. The difference between over easy and first watch since they have opened in same location within months of each other. Over easy has a mgr on floor at all times and doing checkbacks. Whoever is on expo is checking every plate going out and making sure their ticket times are good. The food is hot and consistent. First watch-- you guys have some work to do to make this better. It's only going to get busier as you get into the busy season and you're not going to be able to keep up. You have to get a manager on the floor nonstop and someone who is checking those plates before they go out. I'll still come back, however the expectations aren't super high at this point, such a shame since you make a killer French toast and those million dollar potatoes are incredible! read more

Food was good great atmosphere. Waiters are great! Definitely checking online via their website great checkin process. So plan early. read more

Evelyn was an outstanding waitress. We will ask for her every time. Super friendly and attentive. Tip her well, we want her to stay. Food was great as usual. We all had different meals, and each was cooked perfectly. Love the Buckeye Arizona sign! Crowded when we first arrived, service was still quick. read more

Oatmeal lukewarm and uncooked. Not supposed to crunch. Long black hair in hash. Not at all busy on a weekday morning.

It was our 2nd time in. I learned the first time they do not serve poached or a soft egg over their Benedict's- the egg is not runny and does not get that great soak into the bread. 2nd time I ordered over medium and it was hard as can be- they did make me a scrambled egg- that came out well. They might only know how to make a good scrambled egg- all other eggs are a risky choice. read more

Made an online order. Not only did my food sit on the counter for over 10 minutes before they packed my food. I could see everything from my seat. I rushed home just to noticed my order was missing my extra bacon. Check your food before you leave. read more

On our second visit, I was more disappointed with this place. Our first visit was during their soft opening. It was at that time I discovered almost everything on the menu has some form of citrus in it. As one of the less-common allergies to be exposed to, I was careful with what I ordered during that visit, and the first time, during the soft opening, the server helped me find something that would not trigger my allergy. This morning, our second visit, we went back. I knew the place was a potential trigger for me. I mentioned to our server about my allergy and that I was having a difficult time finding something that would work for me, and she just kind of shrugged her shoulders and walked away. This non-verbal action basically said "figure it out on your own." I thought I found something on the menu that would work, and ordered it. I do not recall the menu description having any indication of a trigger for me. I thought I was safe. The chickachanga was SMOTHERED in hollandaise. Normally, I can handle hollandaise and be tolerable with my allergy. First Watch's hollandaise is made with far more lemon than reasonably needed. My husband tasted the sauce and even said "Wow! That is SUPER lemony!" I get lemon and lime are flavors to brighten some flavor profiles, but almost every dish on their menu has it. Arugula dressed in lemon, their fresh drinks are all based in lemon juice, their hollandaise has more lemon than needed, the list goes on. Fortunately, for my allergy, it's mild. I wont die from exposure, I will, however, be incredibly uncomfortable for the rest of the day. But, what if it was something more common? Would that same server shrug her shoulders and walk away when a food allergy is mentioned? No matter what kind of deal or promise is made, I cannot go back. The lack of concern from the server is what made that decision for me. There's a better sit-down breakfast/brunch place across the street that doesnt slather everything in citrus. read more

Do not come to this location. Staff is kind but service is nonexistent. Waited a while to be seated and then no service for another 10 minutes. We put our order in and no water was brought even after asking two servers. read more

My girlfriends and I have been moving all morning. So we decided to go grab breakfast at First Watch per great reviews. I ordered BLT Benedict, so excited to try it since it's one of my favorite breakfast dishes. I must say my BLT Benedict was delicious but my side salad not so great. It didn't looked washed and had dirt on the leaves, some of the leaves also look rotten. read more

We went there for breakfast and overall it was good. My omelette came with a salad which was a bit odd because it was not a good combination. The earthy flavor of the salad with the savory omelette just did not work because taking a bite from one and then the other just didn't seem to go together well. However, the omelette itself was delicious and the barbacoa tacos had such great flavor read more

We arrived this morning around 8:30 party if 2. We checked in and were told it would be 10-20 minutes. They took my husband's phone number so they could notify us when our table was ready. We sat on the benches inside the front door for 30 minutes. Finally decided to check with the hostess to see how much longer and we were told our name was not on the list!!! Super disappointed. Very disorganized check in process. We left - we did not want to wait another 20-30 minutes. read more

Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Delicious food. We highly recommend the experience. We can't wait to share it with family and friends!

Don't come to this location unless you want to consistently be disappointed. Every time I dine in or order take out my order is wrong. I ordered my mom a Mother's Day breakfast and OF COURSE they forgot my million dollar bacon. Hopefully the manager can gather this feedback and pass it along to her staff. Otherwise, go to literally any other location where they do better. read more
