First Watch is one of those places--if we're in a city that has one, we're going. It never misses. It was spring break, so it was definitely busy, but the wait was only about 20 minutes and I love that they text you when your table is ready--super convenient so you're not just standing around. Jenny was hustling! She was juggling our table along with a few larger ones and still kept everything moving smoothly. You can tell she was working hard and we appreciated it. I'm a creature of habit but also not at all I always order a hash...just a different one every time. This time I went with the seasonal Chimichurri Steak & Eggs hash. I got the chimichurri on the side because it can be a little overpowering, and that was the right move. The hash itself was solid--flavorful, hearty, and exactly what I expect from First Watch. Also ordered a mimosa...well, hold the mimosa--just champagne lol. My husband got the BEC and said it was really good too. Consistently great food, efficient service even when it's packed, and just an easy go-to breakfast/brunch spot. Definitely stays in the rotation. read more

Taste: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 This was the first First Watch I've visited and I'm pleased to report that we had a really great breakfast! I love that they offer so many healthier options that still taste delicious and super satisfying. Portions were a great size, not too heavy, but filling, and everything came out quickly and perfectly cooked. Our server was really nice and kept things moving without rushing us. I also like that you pay at the counter when you're done, it's simple and convenient. Overall great experience, we'll be back for brunch! read more

Go to any other location. During my visit, our server (Oscar) was rude, inappropriate, and unprofessional. We waited at our table for over 10 minutes before being acknowledged. When he finally came to take our drink order, we asked to order everything at once because of how long it had taken. While taking our order, we mentioned that we already knew we wanted dessert. For a table of five people, we were given one glass milk bottle-style container of water, and it was never refilled. When he dropped off our food, he made an uncomfortable comment to one of the men at our table while placing his hands on and caressing that person's shoulders, which was inappropriate and made our table uncomfortable. After dropping off our food, he only came by once more, and that was because I had to call him over to ask for more napkins. He later dropped off our check and told us to take our time. At that point, my mom said, "we wanted to order dessert but you never came back." He took the check back, and we placed our dessert order with him. After ringing it in, he returned to our table and said very rudely, "I actually did come back multiple times to check on you," and then proceeded to ask everyone how our food was. The food itself was good, the issue here was the service. EDIT: to the manager that responded and told me to submit a review through their comments system. I did. Same time that I wrote this review here I also submitted one to you guys directly. Just shows you guys don't check it at all and use it to pretend like you're going to do something about it but never do... read more

Scrumptious!!! Ordered a hash with eggs over medium, I think this is becoming my go-to breakfast order. The mixture of ingredients made this dish perfectly flavored. It was soo much food, I had to take the almost half of it to go. FRESH SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE, what makes a great breakfast place? THIS!!!!! Our wait staff was both friendly and attentive. We came on a weekday, so this place wasn't as packed as during peak times where they have a line around the restaurant. Parking is super easy. When you are in the area and want a solid breakfast, this is the place to go!!! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

Started breakfast at First Watch Champions Gate, in Champions Gate, FL, with bottomless coffee, even though there's no way I could ever drink that much. The service was quick and attentive, probably because I was the first one in that morning. I tried the seasonal menu item that caught my eye in the photo. It was a breakfast sandwich stacked with bacon, a pork sausage patty, scrambled folded eggs, cheese, and a sweet jam, all on a croissant. I skipped the house-pickled jalapeños because I wasn't ready to go that bold in the morning. The sandwich was huge and filling. I didn't eat it as a handheld, as it can get pretty messy. Overall, a solid four-star breakfast. Next time, I'd ask for the sweet jam on the side, since too much of it kind of overpowered the eggs. The space is open and airy, a good place to start the morning. read more

First watch Never disappoints. The food is always consistently delicious and fresh. We have visited many locations and have the best time no matter where we are. I always love to order their eggs benedict and the seasoned potatoes are my favorite. There's always a good feeling of comfort when you eat foods that make you happy. We always appreciate the complimentary coffee they have while you wait for your table. The coffee is truly another highlight because it has so much more flavor than your typical brunch spot brew. The service is always fast and they always bring you a fresh pot of coffee right away. First watch is our go to spot when we travel because we know we can count on them to bring on such a great meal. read more

Stopped in for brunch at First Watch and had a pretty average experience. It wasn't super busy when we dined in, but the service still felt a bit slow. That said, I do appreciate the wide variety of options on the menu, there's definitely something for everyone. I ordered the power breakfast bowl and while I really enjoyed the mushrooms, the dish overall was very bland. I don't usually eat anything spicy, but I actually had to add hot sauce just to get some flavor out of it, which was disappointing. My boyfriend got the biscuits and gravy and thought it was a bit on the salty side, but not terrible. Nothing was awful, but nothing wowed us either. I might come back another time just to try something else on the menu and see if it hits better next time. read more

First Watch - Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl (bottom) Biscuits & Gravy (Top) Breakfast Million Dollar Potatoes (Side) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

I put our name on the waitlist 30 minutes ahead of time. When we got there, we still had to wait an extra 20 minutes. It was a Saturday morning so I understand but just felt like I wanted the wait time to be more accurate. All of the food came out looking gorgeous. Picture perfect, as you can see. Most of it tasted really good but I was disappointed with the fresh toast as it tasted just like plain bread. The waiter was very nice and he make sure we had whatever we needed. Overall it was a nice bunch with my mom and husband. I would go back just make sure I order something else and perhaps not on a Saturday morning. read more

I'm absolutely loving the holiday menu! I tried the cinnamon chip pancakes and their signature potatoes (which are always a favorite). I'm also currently obsessed with their kale tonic - it's surprisingly refreshing. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. It was a fantastic breakfast, and I'll definitely be returning again soon. I like first watch for good breakfast when you need something quick. I heard the tacos were good too, I couldn't try them because they are pulled pork. read more

The food was great! I ordered the salmon eggs Benedict with the hollandaise on the side (strongly recommend the option to folks who don't want their bread soggy!), added avocado to the dish. I think the avocado portion could've been a little more generous -- but honestly between that and the tres leches toast and some hot tea.. I was having a GOOD solo date! Shout out to the kitchen for getting that toast out 5 mins before wrap up. Much appreciated! Quality didn't suffer. Respect. read more

Carly was our breakfast server. Excellent and friendly. John, the Director of Operations also came to our table to chat. This is the second First Watch establishment we've visited, and it won't be the last. I had the TriFecta platter and coffee. My wife had an egg sandwich and fruit cup with tea. If I could give 10 stars for the food and service, I would. read more

What a wonderful breakfast experience. FW is located right outside Champions Gate which can be a traffic hassle in the morning but get past that and you're in a new center with plenty of parking. FW has seating inside and out and when I arrived at 8:30am there was plenty of seating. The menu is a typical American affair with too many items in each selection but I asked the gracious server Carly if I could simplify with a couple of healthy choices combined and she made it happen. Since a breakfast for Primo can't be all-healthy I tried the new pineapple juice concoction - would be great with half the sugar but a nice kickstart either way. 5 stars for the food 5 stars for the location 5 stars for the parking 4 stars for the pineapple drink 6 stars for Carly = 5 star review read more

First Watch - BLTE eggs benedict, cold brew, seasonal hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

Great brunch spot! My husband and I have tired First Watch before, I figured it was time for me to finally write a review. Please be aware if you come on a weekend, there will most likely be a short wait to be seated, approximately 15 to 30 minutes. We have not used this feature before, but they offer a feature to be added to the waitlist from your phone before arriving. This could be helpful for those looking to be added to the waitlist while commuting to the restaurant. The host stand can become very overwhelming, since there is a very small area to wait, and the hosts seem to be often overwhelmed. Every time we dine here, we are pleasantly surprised by the friendly service of our servers, and the fresh taste of the food! The food feels very farm to table, and the menu is always changing and adding new dishes using in-season ingredients. I always order a million dollar bloody Mary, which I think is made with wine or sake? The bloody Mary comes with a piece of million dollar bacon, which is pleasantly savory and sweet at the same time. My husband enjoys the mimosa service. This time I tried the pesto quinoa power bowl, and my husband tried the Barbacoa breakfast tacos. We also ordered a side of million dollar bacon and a side of million dollar potatoes, which are both delicious! Every dish we have tried from here has been absolutely delicious. There are many options to choose from, ranging from very healthy to more indulgent. I am marking down one star for the chaotic host stand, as this last time we arrived, we were not greeted upon entering, and we waited about five minutes to be added to the waitlist. Due to the small footprint of the restaurant, and the many patrons inside, the ambience can be very loud and overwhelming at times. If you prefer a quieter, breakfast experience, with the same high-quality taste, I would recommend dining during the week. With all that said, my husband and I do love First Watch and we will definitely be back. read more

Didn't end up needing my reservation. We were sat pretty quickly. Host and waiter were super friendly. My Food came out quick! My Over easy egg was runny just like I like it.

My family is a fan of First Watch as they have different breakfast options that go beyond the traditional fare and with healthy options. They also have options for my daughter who had an egg sensitivity which takes most of the traditional breakfast options off the table. We don't ever walk away hungry when we eat here and typically don't eat again until later in the afternoon. Our server was friendly and made for a nice way start to our day. Even with a decent crowd, our food came out pretty quickly and we chowed down. First Watch is a great place for a variety of food options with flavorful healthy options to start your day. read more

On our way to the restaurant we joined the waitlist via their website. As soon as we arrived our table was ready. I love this because it shortens your wait time when you arrive and is very convenient. Our server was very polite and friendly, the restaurant was packed but service was great would wouldn't even know it was full. The ambiance was nice. We ordered two traditional breakfast dishes with turkey sausage, a breakfast steak burrito from the festive menu, a side of biscuits and gravy and the sunny Seoul hash from the festive menu. The food was well seasoned and delicious, however the potatoes on all our plates were undercooked and hard. read more

Came to FL to buy a house when mom back home falls & breaks her hip. Was max stressed when I walked into First Watch at peak busy lunch hour. Was seated & got on phone. Christine came by to take my order & saw I was busy so told me to take my time! She swung by 2 more times as I juggled calls to doctors & airlines. I pointed to Tres Leches French Toast almost blindly. When it came, I was stunned by how awesome it was! I told them this is the best French toast I have ever eaten! Christine brought me decaf to warm me, but not increase my tensions. GM Adriel came by to check up on me, asking if there was anything they could do or get me. I almost cried at how caring everyone has been! He even gave me a hug. They told me to just relax & take as much time as I needed. Who does that?!? Outstanding restaurant, great food, & really terrific people working here! read more

Saturday morning at 9 we decided to hop into first watch. Food is always great but the options this time were amazing. The tres leches French toast was out of this world. The eggs Benedict's blt was amazing as always. Bacon is my fav. I wish they had more options for hot coffee but did see they have lots of options for cold brews. Service was quick and our server was so sweet! I don't remember his name but he just because a Pro body builder! He was so attentive, kind and came to the table often to ensure we had what we needed! We were seated right away and had a great time. We will definitely be back. read more

I love First Watch. Their salad dressing is delicious as well as anything you order. You can't go wrong at First Watch.

Wednesday morning, at the tail-end of breakfast and the beginning of brunch, it wasn't too crowded and I loved that. We were seated immediately. Our waitress seemed to be a bit off - she wasnt completely present, and wasn't overly helpful, just enough to take our order, serve us, and give us the check. Thankfully, we weren't there for her nor to be entertained. Our food was okay. The flavors were missing. And, I haven't been to first watch in a while but one thing I noticed was the portion size was smaller than I remembered. It's the same amount of money but smaller portions. The coffee was okay, definitely not the best I've had. Overall, it's a good place to get a decent breakfast/brunch meal. read more

Menu is very strong, so much so I came back 2 days in a row. The omelet was great, and the chilequiles were not prepared in a traditional way (the chips weren't soaked and fried) and it was a bit light on the meat, but it was still pretty tasty. Price point is also very reasonable, and the coffee is great! read more

We ordered these two meals. Spent $25 and it was horrible. The Chickiechanga and potatoes were burnt. No Vera Cruz Sauce was added or given. The inside of the burrito was void of chicken!! We Ordered two eggs on the other plate received one. The fruit cup had one grape, a piece of a strawberry and a piece of pineapple. All the food was cold. No utensils were given and honestly if they are not going to be given do not make it an option. Not sure who the managers are that are allowing the food to go out but perhaps Gordon Ramsey needs to do some teaching because this is clearly not up to standards. Very disappointed since I am a local and have boasted this restaurant to others. read more

One of my favorite breakfast/ lunch place. Food 10/10 highly recommend there's drinks are FRESH made to order love it.

Jenny the server was phenomenal, she was quick, and very considerate. A five star service for Jenny. The store manager however was a complete douche. We sat down and were told we can't get any drinks until we order because of the general manager, he came over to talk to us and didn't introduce himself, but instead came over with an attitude asking what's we need, we told him the eggs were overcooked and the toast was cold, the butter wouldn't melt, and asked him about the water situation, and he said "it's a thing". We brought someone who works for first watch, and it's never been a thing, the general manager should go through some sort of training for customer service AND be fired. He is someone who should not be in a position of power. We noticed all of the servers seem terrified of him also.... We were there for about an hour and we never saw him help out anywhere- instead we saw him yelling at the servers and cook staff because he runs a horrible restaurant. read more
