We've now been here twice in the last six months, though it should've been more considering how close we live. It's a little on the expensive side though and that keeps us from coming here every weekend. Our most recent visit was on a Saturday morning. If you're planning on coming here on the weekend, I highly recommend downloading their app and getting on the waitlist, as it's not a big restaurant and the lines get pretty long. We were told to walk in at 10:02, so we showed up at 10:00, and were seated at promptly 10:02, which was awesome. Coke products, yay! I ordered a Diet Coke and a muffin, and was told there weren't any. HOWEVER, about halfway through the meal, the waitress showed up with a blueberry muffin so fresh out of the oven, steam poured out of it when I stuck my fork in it. Best muffin I've ever had. So delicious! I got one of the hashes for my actual meal. The potatoes and eggs were well seasoned and I loved the inclusion of the sundried tomatoes. Soooo good. Someday when I'm rich, I'll be a regular here instead of just an occasional admirer. read more

First Watch - Freshest blueberry muffins ever. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

Was not a fan of the menu items or the quality of food. Service was fair but not really friendly. Did not have much knowledge of menu items.

This was my first time at this first watch location and I loved everything about it. I was greeted by my server Steven who might I add was very pleasant , knowledgeable about the menu and suggested the is the new and delicious purple haze. This drink was absolutely incredible and quite refreshing . Not too mention the biscuits and turkey sausage gravy. I wanted to have a bit of sweet and salty. So I added the blueberry pancake as well. The staff is very nice , the building is in a beautiful location and the food is truly incredible. Thanks again steven read more

I could go to First Watch every day for every meal. The food is always fresh, the service is always excellent, and the price is exactly as expected. Currently, there is a pumpkin pancake which is incredible. If you get to First Watch during the fall, I would highly recommend getting it. You can add syrup, but I had mine with and without and it was great both ways. We also got a Farmhouse Hash with scrambled eggs. This mix of eggs, vegetables, and cheese is the perfect combination. The best part might be the avocado slices, they add a different context and flavor from the normal breakfast food. Lastly, if you download their app, you can add your name into their line, if they have a wait. That saved us 30 minutes of waiting in the lobby...we arrived then waited about 10 minutes to be sat. It was perfect! read more

My boyfriend & I went for breakfast before returning home to Miami after a weekend at universal studios. The service was fast, our server was very friendly & knowledgable. We ordered the juices from the juice bar which were INCREDIBLE, (the kale juice and tropical sunrise). I got the crab avocado toast and it was delicious. My boyfriend got chocolate chip pancakes w eggs and sausage which he enjoyed as well. Food came out fast and fresh & we left happy. We will be coming back when ever we're in town. read more

Great breakfast place great food and service. Nice atmosphere love the location and service

Friendly staff from the greeter to the servers. We started with a Bloody Mary and a kale tonic. Tasty! Service was speedy and efficient but not rushed. Enjoyed the smoked salmon Benedict. Would definitely order again. Waffles at the table next to us looked good too. read more

Excellent for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Quality ingredients prepared well. Delicious fruit/veggie drinks and smoothies. Truthfully my family and friends have been fans of First Watch restaurants for many years. Seasonal dishes are always on point. They're always willing to accommodate requests for modifications to menu items. Staff is helpful, attentive and friendly. Always clean facilities. Prices are reasonable. I have nothing to complain about except when they rarely run out of a menu item that I was looking forward to getting. Even then I will easily find another option to satisfy my desires. I apologize for not reviewing this place before but I was selfishly taking it for granted that everyone already knew how good they are. read more

5 stars are simply not enough stars. The regular menu is flavor packed and dynamic. It caters to the health conscious appetite, and the more decadent palettes among us. Each season their ever evolving menu reflects new and exciting flavors. Everything from entrées to speciality drinks, fresh juices and tasty soups, get a refresh. Expect a clean and fresh dining area, with a warm, farmhouse feel. First Watch associates zoom about like a culinary ant colony: efficient, fast and friendly. Dining here delights all the senses. Highlights were the Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict; dubbed the "I can't decide so I want it all" brunch plate by one discerning diner. Their unofficial motto is, "No taste bud left behind!" First Watch will meet brunch needs, cravings and desires. Try the Million Dollar Bacon or the Bacado Omelet. The Bacado combines a winning trifecta: Bacon, Avocado and Monterey Jack. Come for the food and drinks. Stay for the comfortable vibe. First Watch, first class all around. read more

Food is Way better than Dennys or IHOP! Organic healthy options but, you'll pay a more hefty price.

Not happy about this location. The food taste different, looks different and you don't get much of anything. Second time here but sadly my last. I prefer the posner location. read more

First Watch - Roast beef & Harvarti with a side of sweet honey pecan salad. So good just ask for dressing in the side because they do put a lot. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

Yet another outstanding First Watch location! This time we used the FW app to get our table as we drive in from Kissimmee, it worked like a charm. I'm not sure why they don't use the YELP waitlist option as other locations do, they need to signup to it I guess. The free coffee as you waited was a nice touch. A couple benches for you to sit on too. The staff here were very friendly and sat us quickly. The wooden artwork on the wall was cool. Tables and floor were clean. A bit noisy as it's an open restaurant, but that's okay. Our server was top notch. She took our orders quickly, answered all of our questions, and gave us our dishes with a smile. I ordered the tri-athelite with fruit, egg white omelet, whole grain toast, was delicious. Loved the mushrooms in the omelette. We also ordered the Elevated Egg Sandwich which was very very good. The bacon in it, along with gruyere cheese and avocado paste made it one of the best breakfast sandwiches I ever ate! Definitely will order that again. The seasoned potatoes with it weren't anything special. All in all, an excellent breakfast experience which keeps me coming back again and again. Oh and the WiFi worked here! (The last three locations it never did) read more

I wanted to give it 2 & 1/2 stars but since half stars isn't an option I went with three stars. Our waitress was very nice. She sat us quickly and was very polite. She offered ideas on different things since it was our first time here. I noticed the restaurant was very clean and was decorated nicely. My wife had the carnitas burrito. She said it was amazing. The coffee that she had was also decent. I had the Trifecta. Unfortunately my experience wasn't as good as my wife's. My bacon was cold. Like really, really cold. My waffle tasted funny and I didn't even finish it. I really wanted the potatoes BUT they come with onions in them, and they CANT be removed. So if your like me, and hate onions, you won't be getting the potatoes. I had a hot chocolate that was ok. Personally I was disappointed with my meal. The toast I had was pretty good. It's hard to mess up toast. Our bill was $33.18. It seemed expensive for breakfast for two people. I guess it worth a try if your in the area and want breakfast, but I wouldn't make it a priority to come here. read more

Always quality food and great service. Any location I've visited has been a great value and a pleasant dining experience. Thanks for keeping me eating consciously. Delicious food read more

Very small portion to my liking but good food. Ambience is okay. Too crowded on a saturday

Chickichanga was excellent! Service was great will definitely come back next time in the area!

The food is excellent. Occasionally rude staff, but it's been better lately since their personal has changed.

The call ahead is a waste of time. We arrived and told 15 minutes. An hour later still waiting for a table.

This is my go to spot for breakfast when we're in the Orlando area. Unfortunately, they get very busy on the weekends so be prepared to wait. They don't take reservations but if you download app you can add yourself to the wait list. Service for the most part has been good however, this last visit it was a little slow. The waiters are friendly and always go over the specials, which have always been pretty good in my opinion. The food has been consistently pretty good every time we've dined at a First Watch in the Orlando area. The menu selection offers a nice variety of breakfast/ brunch options including a healthier side selections. If you're not in the mood for breakfast First Watch also offers sandwiches & salads which all sound good. Not a big fan of there coffee, personally I think they should change vendors. Also getting up to stand in line to pay for your meal is a bit strange. read more

A must try! We dined in one Sunday morning and ordered DoorDash another morning. We recommended visiting family go, and three parties dined at three different times. Everyone had the same exquisite experiences. The food is fun, fresh, and clearly made from fine ingredients. I personally had the traditional breakfast, as well as the elevated egg sandwich. I cannot say enough good about either. The only critique I have is about the breakfast potatoes. Some were almost raw; some were perfectly cooked. This was true on both days. It's not enough to keep me away on my next visit, but it was unpleasant and maybe something to be noted by the kitchen. read more

My husband and I stayed at the Omni Resort, a nice walk to the First Watch each morning of our stay. The meal and staff were excellent. Saturday and Sunday was very busy and the staff was efficient and very pleasant. Katelyn the manager did a great job! The whole wheat pancakes with bannas, granola and almonds were delicious and the million dollar bacon was spicy and sweet and worth trying. The free range egg omlet was light and delicious. My husband had the traditional breakfast and wasn't disappointed. read more

Decent chain for a breakfast. I expected worse and so I was please things seemed fresh. This is an upgrade to the Perkins and iHops of the worlds with more freshness and creativity. But it isn't amazing by any means. read more

Great breakfast. Fresh, hot snd greeat portions. Friendly service and would recommend.

Don't even think about it. Food took almost 45 min to get to our table. My eggs and pancakes were COLD You couldn't pay me to come back. Check my other reviews. All great. This place sucks I checked In 15 minutes early online. Waited 15 outside. And then an hour to eat crappy cold pancakes and leave the eggs and sausage. NEVER again. Ps. My stomach has been hurting all afternoon. I better not be getting food poisoning from what I DID eat. I will update if I do. NOT HAPPY read more

They told me that the wait was 1 hour and I waited 1 hour and 40 minutes and they told me that I had to wait 40 more minutes. They gave me a racist attitude that I had to wait to see if their superior would give me a place to eat. read more

Did NOT abide by covid guidelines the weekend I came. BUT, the food was really good. I did enjoy my brunch time with my family, but we had two kids under 8 and the staff still proceeded to seat us on a high table. Needless to say, I'm only docking a star off because of the lack of attention the staff had on seating a family with small children at the appropriate dine in tables read more

I have ate at different First Watch for years but this was the worst .. The Steak Burrito was filled with big chucks of hard potatoes as you can see very little meat . I broke the burrito open so I can share a clear picture . The French toast was just tasteless.. I have not lost faith in first watch but the Champions Gate location is no comparison to the others!! Horrible experience read more

In Orlando on vaca and we checked out First Watch......Great food. I had a Belgian waffle and million dollar bacon, OJ and a cup of decaf. The coffee sets the tone for me and this one was ok. The Belgian waffle and million dollar bacon was extremely good. I asked for maple syrup but the blueberry side that came with the waffle really really good. I only want to take half star, but that's not an option. Great atmosphere and really good food. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Fresh ingredients with many varied choices. Good for breakfast and lunch.

The food is fresh and the place looks a little good and just love this place the ambiance is good they are nice and sweet

Ok so this restaurant lost points because of a rude male hostess. There was a female there when I walked up, she greeted me and said she'd be right with me, then a male walks up as asks what I need. I explained that I did the online waiting list and I was just checking on the status. I waited 60 from the time I got on the waitlist and this dude says it's going to be an hour wait. He said I had 2 large tables before me. I said so you are telling me that you don't honor your online waiting list, he said it starts when you check in. I said the text I got said that I'd get a text when my table was ready not check in when I arrive. My biggest issue is he never looked at the seating chart but he was trying his best to turn me away. Right before I lost my patience the female hostess told him there was a table available for one. He didn't apologize but instead looked annoyed that he was wrong. Very bad start. My server was friendly and efficient until it came to bringing me my check. I sat in front of dirty dishes for 20 minutes before I got my check. The French toast was delicious but the million dollar bacon was short a couple hundred thousand. It tasted ok but I stead of slow cooking the sweetness into the bacon as advertised they seemed to just pour syrup on it which made for a sticky mess. At a dollar and change per slice I expected better, I've had better! On another note it's a super small place that closes at 2pm so it makes large crowds show up and try to get in before closing. I was very uncomfortable with the variant numbers going up and on half the customers wore masks . Most likely won't return. read more

Very nice restaurant and lovely staff so friendly. We had a large crowd and they fit us right in. The food is amazing, no one was disappointed not even the kids. It's healthy choices and their house made bread is to die for. Be sure to try the blueberry cornbread, it didn't sound great but OMG it is soooo good lol. Give it a try you won't be disappointed , sorry I have no pics for this one. read more

This place is awesome, the food choices are great, see pics but I must talk about the service. When we first walked in my husband and I were greeted with a friendly smile by the host and the waitress were very nice not to mention excited about the new menu selections. If u visit Orlando it's worth driving to championship area to experience this grub. Down with COVID-19 it's time to enjoy great food and people again! read more

This is our go to when staying at the Omni, got off the redeye from La this morning and stopped in for the lemon ricotta pancakes and they changed the lemon curd without any warning. It was horrible, definitely not lemon curd, idk what it was, something crunchy inside the sauce it's been hours the taste still comes in my mouth. Had to send it back it took 20 minutes for my food to come out. Not a good experience at all which was sad. Had them at home a few weeks ago and a friend had them 2 days ago and it was with the correct lemon curd sauce. If you ran out take it off them menu, this concoction was just plain weird. It didn't even look right. Morning meditation was amazing...server was great, but that sauce was just horrid. Hollandaise sauce, maybe idk????? read more

First Watch - Supposed to be lemon ricotta pancakes it definitely was not. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Champions Gate, Florida

This has been one of the best First Watch I've been to! Although the host and waitstaff had their mask on at all times, you knew when you were getting a smile. Although it seems they may be short staff, they were all so friendly. First Watch is my go-to for breakfast when we can't seem to find another place for breakfast. Their kale juice and farmhouse skillet are my favorite dishes. My absolute favorite is the avocado toast with over-easy eggs. I do recommend adding your name to the waitlist o the app before heading over. The line does get long as the morning gets later but is always worth the wait. read more

Another delivery screw up, and not by UberEats Name on the bag was correct, delivery from Uber done correctly, the restaurant completely blew the order. Nothing, NOTHING we ordered came to us. The restaurant has excellent foot and in person service, delivery is a complete waste of time. Order it and go pick it up, but make sure it's right before you walk out. Last time we did that the people at the front got it wrong and were upset we wanted what we paid for. In other words, eat in the restaurant, or order from somewhere else. read more
