Visited the Fulton Ranch location today. After an expected wait we were seated. Ordered the classic eggs Benedict. 30 minutes after placing our order our breakfast arrived. The eggs were over-cooked, both mine and my wife's. My plate was too small to hold the Benedict and the potatoes. When bringing this to the attention of the staff, other than providing an extra plate my comments were shrugged off. We'll not be retuning. read more

Ordered lemon ricotta pancakes and choriza grn chili omelet. Didn't like the lemon curd on pancakes, tasted canned so I scooped it off. Pancakes were okay, not as airy as other lemon ricotta pancakes out there. Omelet needed more chorizo and the long, stringly onions were chewy and hard to eat which ruined it for me. Will try other menu items next time. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Great breakfast joint! Food is tasty and so fresh. Servers are always engaged in serving you and making sure you're content. I've only been there for breakfast but it's so right every time. The tea selection is awesome. read more

I've been here multiple times and the staff has been extremely friendly, the food has been very good, and the look of the restaurant as a whole is so cute. Definitely great for breakfast dates. read more

We typically enjoy the predictably tasty hell out of First Watch. Today, and this seems like a location specific issue, we threw 50 bucks down the chain restaurant drain. First, our waitress didn't come around for 15 min. after we were seated. By the time she stopped to ask what we wanted to drink, we had noticed our water glasses were filthy--it looked like dishwasher crud, but whatever, it was gross. She took one glass away and just shrugged at the other...k. Next, we waited another nearly half hour for our food. Now, I know the slow thing is an issue at First Watch. All of them. But usually the food is so consistently good, any delay is forgiven the minute we start stuffing our faces. Today, one plate out of three was okayish, one was over salted to the point of being inedible--both the potatoes and eggs, and one plate was an overcooked, underseasoned,and stone cold. My husband ordered the elevated egg sammi and so did I. His was mostly okay although the arugula was so wilted it looked like cooked spinach. Meanwhile the eggs on my sammi were rubbery, the arugula was like a limp splotch of green paint, and the whole thing felt so cold, I figured it had to come straight out of the fridge. You know what cheese looks like when it's been melted and then recongealed? It isn't pretty and it shouldn't cost 12 bucks. I might have sent it back if we had ever seen our waitress again. Oh, she did drop off the bill, but glancing down at my uneaten sandwich she just walked off as she was saying "have a great morning!"...like, the "morning" was already halfway back to wherever she was going in at a 5k pace. I wanted to complain, but my husband is a nicer duck than me. So here I am, trying to warn you off this location. Go to First Watch, sure, but maybe not this one. read more

Placed a to go order and asked for a decaf coffee with my meal. I cannot drink regular coffee as it makes me very sick. The employee gave me a regular coffee, and sure enough, i got sick. Called in to ask to have it taken off my bill. Spoke to a female manager who was unapologetic and unhelpful. Was told I had to come back in to get the coffee taken off my bill. Yeah right! Im too sick to come back in plus I know it is possible to adjust a credit card payment without having to go back in, other restaurants have done it before. I did not even receive so much as an apology for their error making me sick. Horrible customer service and I won't be coming back here again! read more

We go in often with a large group. The owner always looks irritated with us. The severs are amazing and the food is good. But the owner is an asshole. read more

Visited Phoenix on7/1-7/4/16 and for 3 days in a row we came and ate here. The food was delicious and the service was great! If you are in the Phoenix area check out a First Watch, you won't be disappointed. Everything we tried was good!!!! Pancakes, waffles, bacon, skillet meals, chickichanga was awesome, everything that had avacado was awesome! Oh and the fresh juices was so refreshing for the hot weather outside. Loved it and will eat there again when visiting Arizona! read more

Great place I like the tastey innovated dishes. The food is great and the service is always good.

Great service, super fast. It's really busy but the food still came out in just a few minutes. Our waiter Desmond was super. Five stars, would recommend. Definitely will come again. read more

Atmosphere is great, decor is very modern and clean, staff was welcoming from greeting, to hostess to server. menu is solid with a mix of traditional breakfasts, healthy options and a few unique creations. you can tell that the management and staff have paid attention to the details from sugar dispensers on the table to the water served in old milk jugs. food quality is great too. menu prices might be a tinge high for breakfast, but worth it for the experience! very cool place! read more

This place is super cute...great menu, very good coffee, friendly staff! Couldn't ask for much more from a breakfast joint!

I've been a Good Egg regular for years. I saw the transition to First Watch happen slowly. The servers have always been friendly and efficient even thought the kitchen was a bit slow at times. I know right now they are getting a rash of complaints from regulars about the changes to the menu, so cut them some slack. The decor change was okay as it was a bit outdated. The first big change was when the new manager came aboard. Prior to him there were a few who rotated, but all were friendly, mostly female, and greeted you with a smile when you arrived. The new manager is an older man, short on customer service skills. The menu changed gradually. A small group of us went one Saturday and our friend ordered biscuits and gravy, her favorite. She said it looked different and didn't taste good and mentioned this to our server, who suggested she tell the manager. She left most of it on her plate. She did mention it to the manager on her way out and he told her there was nothing he could do about that but if it made her feel better it was healthier for her. On a later visit I ordered the Bacado omelet, that survived the transition to the new menu and was told it was served with fresh greens. My server was kind enough to let me know I could sub the traditional potatoes. When it was served without the side of salsa, I was told they didn't have salsa any more. Other small changes, like water without ice, removing the variety of jams for toast and serving their choice of jam in a small dish were other annoyances. Recently I stopped in early one morning on my way to work and found they had changed their opening time from 6:30 to 7:00 so I went elsewhere. These folks have been in the business a long time and I'm certain they knew there would be a loss of some regulars when they finished the conversion to the First Watch menu. I don't go out for breakfast to eat healthy, I go out for comfort food. If I want healthy I'll have oatmeal, yogurt and fruit in my own kitchen. For most people breakfast is a treat and a break from cooking. As another reviewer said, it seems First Watch is catering to more of a yuppie crowd and leaving some of their regular customers behind. They may get enough new customers to replace those who go elsewhere, but I won't be among them. read more

Says no reservations. But after sitting here for 40 minutes. I have Seen 5 groups get seated ahead of us. Because they had called ahead. I don't know,but that sounds like a reservation. If I call and say I'm coming in 30 minutes. Please put name on list. And you walk in and get seated ahead of those waiting. That's a reservation. People even said they had reservations. Food was ok. Wait service was excellent though. read more

went there today for breakfast, food was just ok eggs cooked wrong, and service was slow. Was much better when it was good egg. Probably will never return read more

My family and I have gone to First Watch Restaurants since I was a child, I'm 35 now. We have always loved their food and the people. As an adult, I go to the First Watch on Thomas Rd and I love the updated look and the food. This morning my sister invited me out to breakfast and we were both so excited to see that the Good Egg on Ray Rd was now a First Watch. Happily, I accepted and we went with her two children (daughter who is almost one and a son who is three). The food and wait staff were wonderful; however our experience was marred by the manager. If looks could kill! He was unpleasant to be around and was quite frankly, a curmudgeon. My nephew and niece are children and while I do not condone bad behavior at restaurants by children, both of them were far from disruptive. My niece was loud but not crying. She's learning to talk, she's learning to hear her own voice. My nephew is three and while he did not stay seated the whole time we were there, he was NOT disruptive. He walked near the bathroom but did NOT go in and out of it OR disturb other guests. He did NOT yell or throw food or whine. He giggled and laughed. My sister and I completely understand that some guests might not want to sit next to toddlers and one couple was reseated. The manger did handle that appropriately. However, the rest of our time there he would walk past our table, which was near the restroom, just to see what my nephew was doing. Then he would walk past us again and give my nephew and us a look mimicking "shaking my head." As we left, there was couch and just like any toddler, my nephew leaped onto it. He did NOT stand on it or jump on it. He was happy and oblivious to the dirty stares given by this manager. However, we were not oblivious to those stares and as he walked pasted us with a surly look on his face, I stated, " You don't have to look at us like that." To which he did not respond or even attempt to address. Listen, I've been a waitress and a hostess in the past. And I have worked for high-end restaurants to your local "mom and pop" diner and I have seriously never encountered a manager this unhappy and rude. My sister and her husband take their children to restaurants all the time and the kids have behaved similarly to today and she has never been made to feel like a bad mother in all her experiences at a restaurant. Needless to say, we will not be going back to First Watch on Ray Rd. as long as that manager is still employed there. I have NEVER written a Yelp review before but he, for lack of a better term, poked the bear. He's the manager of a breakfast place. You are to be happy and cheerful. He unfortunately lacks the tact and understanding needed for a managerial position. I would steer clear of this place if you have children. Try U.S. Egg down the road, they are a lot more kid friendly and happy! read more

food is amazing extremely great menu. i want to go eat there just writing about it. one of the best brunch places in the valley.

We used to go to this location when it was the good egg. We went there for lunch. One of us got the roast beef sandwich and I got the veggie sandwich. Both sandwiches were made beautifully with fresh ingredients. Great bread. Melted cheese with mine. Sundried tomatoes and a horseradish sauce with the roast beef. Cheese toasted into the bread on the roast beef. We got the mixed greens as a side. Fresh and tasty. We both loved our sandwiches. Decor pleasant. Seating comfortable. Good service. We presented a coupon on its last day which was cheerfully accepted. We live close and we'll be back. read more

This is fantastic. Love the breakfast/brunch selections. Great service and on Saturday we had Simone and the service was perfect.

This is just an awesome place for breakfast I highly recommend the blueberry pancakes

I've eaten here before when it was The Good Egg but am LOVING the First Watch changes. The manager came over to greet me personally and my server (Desmond) was polite, knowledgeable of the new menu and offered an excellent suggestion to my normal favorite. I tried the healthy egg white omelette w/spinach, feta cheese and sli read more

Love this place! We come here all the time for brunch. Excellent iced coffee and great juices that change all the time. I love their avocado toast. read more

The Chandler Fulton First Watch is wonderful! We have been coming to the Good Egg for over 5 years and are thrilled that with First Watch taking over the changes are good. We enjoy the food very much and try to take our family there often. It's a great place to meet and greet and we all love the food. Company from San Francisco was even impressed! The atmosphere is totally welcoming! I would recommend Chandler Fulton First Watch because of the food variety (very healthy, organic products and locally grown) and the very friendly management and staff that serve us and make us feel truly welcome!

We have been loyal customers at Ray Road for about 15 years - through all the managerial and service changes. It seems "First Watch" is more for "yuppies" and loyalty seems to have gone out the window!! First "double stamp Mondays" 5 to a card - then 6 - then 7 then 10 - then discontinued completely. And the perfect insult - discontinuing the Military Veteran discount. How many "yuppies" served our country?? We're through with First Watch - I Hop, the Village Inn and Biscuits ALL offer discounts for loyalty, service , and seniors!! You can remove our email address from your contact list - we're no longer interested. read more

There is no better place than First Watch for a healthy breakfast. Their fresh pressed juices are amazing and not overly expensive. They have a good mix of healthy and indulgent on their menu which gives a nice variety for their patrons. Their eggs Benedict and wraps are excellent. read more

They took a reservation over the phone, said they would hold a round table for our party, which consisted of my 91 yr old Mother and other elderly folks, sent me a text confirming the reservations. When we arrived they vehemently explained that they don't take reservations AND that the round table they promised doesn't hold as many as our in our party. To boot - they had just seated people at the round table and could not accommodate our party anywhere in the restaurant. Note to restaurant: DO NOT send a text confirming a reservation at a certain time if it has no meaning to you as a business. Frankly, I likely could have managed all of the upheaval but the hostess was only interested in repeatedly telling me what their "real" policy was concerning reservations, as did the manager. There were apologies made, but no accommodations for the elderly people we had in our party. We had to leave and go somewhere else. BTW - this was on a Saturday, not Sunday. read more

I would love to give a better review, but unfortunately same issues as before when it was The Good Egg. First Watch started off really, really positive, but then the last few times we had to wait approx. 20+ minutes for our breakfast (during off peak times) and when we eventually got it, the toast was cold or the eggs were cold. We quit going to The Good Egg because their service and food was inconsistent in terms of quality. Now the same issues are arising yet again. This past Saturday we waited nearly 30 minutes for our food. The server not once even stopped to apologize for the wait or to say "let me check on that for you". We ended up leaving and I stopped to explain to the manager the issue. He apologized, but didn't make any attempt to correct it. I even said we were repeat customers (literally there almost every weekend), yet he still didn't seem to really much care about losing regular patrons. I'm really disappointed. When it's good, it's really good, but they can't seem to deliver consistent service and food quality. I can't keep going back to a place where I can't expect the same level of service and quality food each time. It's completely hit & miss now. read more

I very seldom do negative reviews, but today I feel this is necessary to help this business get it together. On Sunday mornings between 10 am- 12 noon, you expect that wherever you choose to enjoy breakfast there will be waiting involved- sometimes a lot of waiting. And sometimes, you get passed over. For us, it's more about how the situation is "handled" or resolved. This is my third visit to this location, and unfortunately our last. Every time I've been here, there seems to be a disconnect between the front of the house and the kitchen. This time, it was the host, he seemed overwhelmed and not organized. I think he either lost or deleted our name on the list, because after we had waited for 20 minutes, I checked and he seemed flustered and I don't think he found our name on the list. A few weeks ago, we visited the First Watch in Scottsdale and had an amazing experience, and they were just as busy, and yes we had to wait, but it was a short wait even though I believe the restaurant itself was slightly smaller. Good example of how the right management team can make all the difference! Good luck to the First Watch on Ray Rd., hope you're able to overcome the challenges you've had. read more

Great if you don't have any diet restrictions. But, for me, not a single Gluten Free option is a deal breaker. My hubby loved his.

Bad management? I went there with my mother to have breakfast. We have never been to a first watch and I decided to go there, because it seemed to portrait that there are healthier options available. When we arrived, it was very busy. The only open tables still had dirty dishes on them, which is completely fine. We waited until the hostess cleaned the table and were seated. I asked the waitress if they have a gluten free menu or options and she said that they did not. My mother has celiac and I am sensitive to dairy. I was disappointed that they didn't have one, but that was ok. My mother ordered eggs with smoked salmon and avovado and one of the veggie/fruit juices. I had the works omelette and ordered it with no cheese and no sour cream. Then we waited....and waited....and waited. My mom asked 'Should we ask when our food will be ready?' I said no. Then I noticed that there was only our waitress plus another waiter and the hostess. Are they understaffed? After my mother probably asked five times if we should ask when our food will be done, we finally got our food. Her food looked good, mine did not. It had cheese and sour cream on it. I told the waitress and she had another one made. Then I asked her if my mom is still getting her veggie/fruit juice or not. I mean it's been only 30-40 minutes. I spent the next 10 minutes watching my mom eat her food while I awkwardly and embarrassed for choosing this place just sat there. There was no 'sorry about that' or anything like that from the waitress. I still tipped her over 20%, probably not her fault...but on the way out my mother was like 'Let's never go here again'. read more

service is poor, but breakfast is usually pretty tasty. Today I got a salad though, and all of the tomatoes were rotten... so gross. Left a bad taste in my mouth, no apologies or any discount on bill- after waiting 20 minutes for my replacement on a friday afternoon at 11 am. just disgusting read more

Looked at the menu and was impressed however the food was served only slightly warm. When we asked for the pancake to be heated, came back hard and crunchy on one side. Yuck! The waiter was apathetic at best. This was a gift card, so not much out of pocket which was a good thing! Pretty sure we won't try again! read more

Just went for our 1st time. Decor and atmosphere were very pleasant. Coffee was really bad and I love coffee. I had the Breakfast tacos, they were delicious and I was full after 1 1/2, My husband had the Works Omelet and said it was the best he has had in a long time. We will go back, but I will take my own coffee next time. Robin B. read more

Checked this place out with a friend the other day. The menu is so varied I had a tough time choosing what to eat. I ended up trying the frittata - outstanding, I'd order it again. My friend had an omelet which was also delicious. You know how the coffee at some of these places sometimes tastes bitter and burnt? Not here - it was smooth and rich and our server "kept it coming" as per our request. The booths are super comfy. My friend and I lingered for some time and no one bugged us. The bill was totally reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. Recommended - I'll be back. read more

I have told my wife how great First Watch was. Boy did I look like a fool. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated. The waitress was friendly and promptly took our order. When our food arrived I was ready to take a bite of the omelette I ordered when I noticed that there was hair in my food. I sent it back and the waitress started telling me stories about how her food was dropped on the floor at another restaurant and did blame me for sending it back. I did not order anything else. I was very surprised when NOT one person from management came to my table to apologize. I went to pay for my wife's meal and the man at the cash register never ask how out experience was. He was kinda rude. I will never return to a First Watch. read more

More like 3 1/2 stars and service and food were fine but never like to leave a breakfast place still hungry. Kind of pricey for the amount of food. Big plates but kind of skimpy on what was on the plate. read more

I was pretty impressed with this restaurant. We were looking for a good health conscious place that would have good options. This place had both. It had a comfortable down home country feel but sitting in the middle of the city. The food was good and the young man that served us, made us feel right at home and thanked us for coming. My husband and I were very satisfied and will definitely be returning. read more

Returned for brunch. The service was great. The food was good, including the coffee. Much better on this visit.

Always loved this location when it was The Good Egg. Since it became First Watch, we have been very disappointed. The food is hit and miss, and so are the portions. Sometimes you actually get two eggs, sometimes not. The breakfast potatoes were hard and lukewarm the last two visits. The service is usually good, but the older manager is awful. He doesn't greet you, nor does he really want to help you. The waiter forgot to ring our coupon and the manager yelled at him in front of us. Very awkward. He was unable to credit my account, and said we could use the coupon the next visit even after the expiration. Not so. Bring back The Good Egg!!! read more

This place was awesome!!! Eat the pancakes they will make you happy. Service was great and food was crazy good. Try it! Thank you for feeding me First watch. read more
