BEC (special) and Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl
Jenna H.

Both things were so yummy (BEC breakfast sandwich & chilaquiles) and the drinks/juices were fresh! Staff was really friendly & didn't rush us at all. Definitely will be going back!

French Toast
Richard P.

Came here for a quick breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the power bowl was. It had some of the best quinoa and breakfast sausage with sautéed mushrooms. I've had from a breakfast spot, and the two eggs on top were perfectly over medium. The French toast was good as well and the best part was that they gave warm syrup for us to drizzle over the French toast! The service was very attentive and the employees working there were very friendly. Would definitely visit again.

I usually order the pesto quinoa bowl once a month & I think the ratio of quinoa to chicken has been getting way worse. I forgot to take a picture before I ate all the chicken but I swear it's like 85% quinoa. The millionaire bacon is still very good.

Had breakfast at First Watch and left disappointed. The food was good, but the service was terrible. Our server barely checked on us, and I had to get up and pour my own coffee from the front while the rest of my table was served. Good food can't make up for bad service -- won't be rushing back.

Just had breakfast at my favorite restaurant. I had the salmon Benedict. It was so good and the service was excellent. I would recommend to anyone to eat breakfast or lunch here.

Chile chorizo omelette
Kim S.

This place is very cute inside! Our service was outstanding! Our server was extremely thoughtful quick and kind. She brought togo coffee cups and extra cholula. I got the seasonal prosciutto toast and it was great! Nice sturdy but not hard bread for the toast was able to hold the massive mound of egg prosciutto and fresh parm! Hubby got the chorizo omelet and really liked it. Everyone commented how good the side of fruit was! Not a melon in sight pineapple, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, and green grapes! We would definitely go back!

Monterey Club
Katie L.

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! I've been to a couple other first watch locations it was my first time at this one and it's by far my favorite so far. The restaurant layout is very open and not crowded at all even though the tables were filled. Our server was great, she was very sweet and attentive. My boyfriend and I got the same thing to eat and we will definitely be back the tomato basil soup was super flavorful and delicious to dip our sandwiches into! Thank you for a great lunch!

Belgian Waffle, scrambled eggs, Turkey Sausage Tri-Fecta
Marci L.

First of all we love First Watch! But this location is our FAVORITE! The atmosphere is so clean and bright! They are always busy but put your name on their list through their app and you will get seated shortly after you arrive! Everyone is ALWAYS smiling! Always friendly! Today our server was Brianna! She had an awesome bounce to her step and a contagious beautiful smile! I ordered an egg white omelette with cheddar and Colby cheese, spinach and onion. A side of fruit, and sourdough toast! The omelette was PHENOMENAL! I didn't need to add seasoning! Perfectly made and just delicious! My partner ordered the trifecta!! Two eggs any style, choice of meat and a choice of waffle or pancakes. He ordered the waffles! He was very satisfied and stated that his food was delicious! The waffle was fluffy and airy, eggs were scrambled the way that he requested "soft" and the turkey sausage was tasty! We also ordered the Million Dollar Bacon which is made to perfection! Seasoned deliciously with pepper and maple syrup! You must try this location! Kudos to their entire staff! We thank you so much for making our biweekly dining SPECTACULAR!

This is a long-time favorite. Great food and very nice decor and ambiance. The only negative is that there is almost always a wait.

Ask the Community - First Watch

Does First watch in Chandler take reservations?

No, I don't believe they do and I don't think you actually need them if you don't go during the major rush hours.

Does First Watch near Sun Lakes have outside seating area? We just want coffee and a place for a short chat spot. Thanks for a reply..

Yes

Would you ever consider building a firstwatch in maricopa, Arizona ? Will make great business here

George and Gather has been high on my list to check out, since opening one year ago! I've heard…read morenothing but positive things about this place and now I understand why! There is a parking lot and indoor/outdoor seating. I love the decor and ambiance of this place, especially the lighting in the dining room. They have a separate area with a small shop and cafe with desserts and some grab and go items. I will be back to try a coffee! My friend and I came here for the pre-set restaurant week menu. I made a reservation the night before, but it wasn't too busy while we were there on a Tuesday at 530pm. Our server Allison was great and very attentive. For appetizers we tried the whipped goat cheese spread and wagyu meatballs. I thought the goat cheese spread was delicious! For entrees we choose the pasta pomodoro and the farmers market pizza which were both very tasty. The pizza had so much flavor l, especially the crust, and the texture of the pasta was perfect!! For dessert we tried the affogato and apricot cheesecake. Oh My Gosh that cheesecake was the BEST dessert I've had in a while!!!! You have to try it and I can't recommend it enough!!!! I can't wait to come back!!

After our visit I promptly removed this place from my bookmarks…read more Disappointing from the moment I spoke with the hostess. We had been put on a wait list shortly before I arrived. When I arrived and spoke with spouse he had already been waiting 20+ minutes. When I checked in with hostess to see if there had been any changes I was promptly schooled that "he was told "XYZ" and there's one table ahead of us still... I disregarded that vibe, figured because it was "busy" or because it was "Saturday evening" and everywhere is busy... I felt the senior hostess was curt when I inquired about the status of our wait, so I tried to brush it off. Just inefficient all the way around. From seating and neglecting to ask about seating preference (could there have been a shorter wait?), initial greeting by server, or was it a bus boy?, beverage order and wait for food. Couldn't even get a full glass of water poured or full carafe brought to the table while we waited for service. It was all very disappointing and I feel completely led astray by the ratings and reviews. I truly can not believe we waited 1 1/2 hrs just to be seated so we could eat pizza. Oh, but wait! It's pizza on 130 year old sourdough yeast?! Whatever. The pizza was alright, but the entire experience certainly didn't improve the taste of the pizza. Tourist trap? Maybe. Trendy? Because it's located in downtown Chandler? And then there's the parking scenario. If you're staying at the San Marcos or the other hotel downtown, walking here will be quicker than trying to find a parking spot. Carpool would be my other suggestion because parking really is a premium. And I want to add, the hostess never came to let us know a table was ready. We were only offered a table when my son went in to check the status. Only then did he get asked if we would be open to outdoor seating. Maybe Brunch has something more to offer. IDK. But I'm certainly not inclined to recommend or dine here again.

I haven't left a review in quite some time, but this place is so delicious that I had to! I've been…read moretwice and both times were just as good. I ordered the Jammin Tacos with bacon and they did not disappoint. I don't ever order breakfast tacos, but the cashier recommended them and I'm glad she did. So filling and tasty! I'm also a huge fan of pickled onions and they came as a little side with the tacos and I devoured them. I also got the Cold Purple Haze (lavender latte) and that too was great! The service and vibe here was just as wonderful. I will be returning to try out more of their menu.

My hair salon is in the plaza with this restaurant, and I've been meaning to try. When my boyfriend…read morewas in town and I had my hair appointment, we stopped by for an early brunch. This is a counter service style location, so you order and take a number to be delivered to your table. Not always my favorite, but the staff was very friendly for patrons who didn't realize you needed to grab utensils at the station with condiments as well. What we ordered: - NY Chopped Cheese Sammie: my boyfriend loved this as it's a bodega classic he's familiar with. Very onion forward, so I personally wouldn't order. - Benny and the Jets: overall, this was pretty good. Though, the potatoes lacked seasoning and wish they had been flavored more. The rosemary herb focaccia bread was delicious and I did enjoy their hollandaise sauce. - Bucket of Mimosa: love that you get a bottle in a bucket with ice with a carafe of juice. Perfect for sharing with a brunch out with friends, family, and loved ones. - The GOAT: my friend who I was meeting for hair loved this and said we definitely need to stop back in when we get our hair done again in May. - S'mores: This cold brew was amazing! Love love love the marshmallow and definitely would order again, though may ask for half sweet if they can do that. Gotta shout out Gonzo sauce, and definitely be on the look out to where I can purchase. May need to see if they sell retail bottles here, as loved the haberno one! We really enjoyed the decor, atmosphere, service, food, and even the cold brews to go for my hair appointment. I'll definitely return for both food and cold brew when in the area!
