Traveling through from Indiana to DC. Found First Watch on Yelp. Menu looked good so we stopped. So incredibly delicious!! Food tasted fresh and wholesome . Staff was busy but nice. An extra nice touch is the hook for a diaper bag next to the changing table in the women's restroom. Highly recommend! read more

The customer service and food is always outstanding and today was no different. I love to have breakfast here when in town. read more

I have the openface chicken salad sandwich and a fruit cup. The sandwich was wonderful, fruit was fresh. Staff was friendly and we didn't wait very long on our food. read more

I have to say I think three stars for the food is quite generous, at least for the Parma Hash. The rest of our table shared a similar sentiment that their food was just lacking in flavor and seasoning, even basic salt and pepper. Two orders of the Parma Hash, a Chili Chorizo, turkey gravy and biscuits, and a Belgian waffle. Even the coffee is lacking in flavor. The Belgian waffle was the standout dish. The front of house staff definitely make up for the back of house lack of taste. Our server was great and came by to fill drinks frequently. They advertise fresh ingredients, and I'm not doubting that, but I think they stopped short of seasoning. Overall we wouldn't come back which is an unfortunate outcome given our high expectations. read more

Best breakfast spot in town imo. I can always find a friend here. Service is always good. The vibe is immaculate. I like pancakes

They have great options and there's always a ton of people here at our location but service is always great and quick. I love their tomato basil soup and always have to get a cup when I go in. The chickichanga is soooooo yummy although like a million calories so I've tried other things over the years lol. I'm not a fan of their eggs benny. Sandwiches are good. Potatoes are just ok and this is coming from someone who loves potatoes. You really can't go wrong here. Even the things I don't like that much, I still like way better than other place's best dishes. read more

Found this place on yelp. And so glad we did. I had called to try and make reservations as I saw online it closes at 2:30. It's a first come first serve type of place. Put our name in and waited about 25 mins to be seated. Which I don't mind. There were plenty of people outside waiting as well. The food was so so good. I can see why there were so many people coming in and out of this place. I ordered the "million dollar bacon" as a side. Oh my You must go here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Everything was great! Best place in town for breakfast. The million dollar bacon was a great experience, and their new juices are delicious

Great good, wonderful service. We will go every time we have a chance. Highly recommend the biscuits and gravy.

Decided to not pay for the hot breakfast at the hotel and found this place instead on Yelp. WOW, great food, very interesting offerings. Love the pumpkin pancakes and oatmeal with interesting toppings. Wish I could try more. read more

Nice quality breakfast. Great service. Good coffee Enjoyed the ricotta pancakes and the veggie omelets. Delicious

Absolutely terrific experience! Terrific food & great service (Heather). Had the hash & it was to die for -- keep up the great work !

Wow! I cannot wait to come back! Our road trip took us through Charleston, WV and we ended up at First Watch. The menu was full of everything and anything I would ever want to try! I had the Alaskan Salmon Frittata and my girlfriend had the Biscuits and Gravy then we got one Banana Granola Crunch Pancake. Everything was absolutely amazing. I turned to my girlfriend and said "I could stand up and give this place a standing ovation" as I said that the owner, Terry came by and talked with us. She told us all about her and her husbands story - the restaurant's story. Just an all around amazing experience! The food was delicious, nutritious, creative and more than we can ask for! read more

First Watch - Our little guy after our wonderful meal. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, West Virginia

Wow! I'm from Cali and am used to getting fresh, light, and flavorful food and I wasn't disappointed here. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes which were the best pancakes that I've ever had. They're light, and moist, and soft with a lot of lemon flavor even without the lemon curd. I also had a side of their Million Dollar Bacon. Everyone one seems to be making a version of this, but theirs is the best I've tasted. My hubby had a crab omelette which he really liked as well. And the best thing about this place is that they sell a recipe book so I can make those pancakes at home. read more

First Watch - Lemon Ricotta pancakes and Million Dollar Bacon. I had to take a bite to see if it was photo worthy! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, West Virginia

Amazing, creative, yummy juices and food! Lots of healthy options; even for lots of food allergy sufferers! The summer juices where to die for and the crab and asparagus omelet I had was out of this world. Who would have thought! And they came out of the kitchen to make sure they didn't put anything in my friends food she was allergic too. That's the extra mile and awesome! read more

Not sure what happened here. The first time we were here, it was great. Our last visit was less than mediocre. The service was fine, but the food wasn't nearly as good as it was before. The chorizo omelette had very little chorizo and the texture was just weird for an omelette. Ye potatoes were also not really good. Probably won't be back. read more

Want yummy fresh healthy breakfast/ brunch? Go here! This place will always be my favorite place to go to get my first meal of the day in. Every single thing is good I've never been disappointed but my all time favorite is the am superfoods bowl, avocado toast, and kale tonic! read more

We were only in Charleston West Virginia for the night on our way to Kentucky. We were so fortunate that our hotel recommended the restaurant First Watcj. It made me almost wish that we lived here so we could come every Sunday. The menu is extremely extensive and diverse and everything we had was fresh and tasty. Loved our kale tonic. our server Breanna could not have been more friendly and helpful. read more

First Watch - What an incredible menu it's very unique and healthy. Our server, Breanna, could not have been more accommodating and friendly. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, West Virginia

We really enjoyed breakfast here. We were just driving through and picked it on ratings. Food was unique and very tasty and clearly fresh. Ckickachanga was right up my alley. Amazing flavor and portions just right. Pumpkin pancake was absolutely perfectly executed and warm maple syrup. Friendly service. It was packed with a line out the door at 11 on Sunday but worth it! read more

Awesome breakfast and brunch. I have family in the area, and we always go for breakfast when I visit. Most recently they had a pumpkin pancake special with real maple syrup. It was amazing. It can get crowded on the weekends, so plan accordingly, but the wait is worth it. read more

Great food, great service! Had the trifecta & it was perfect. Breanna gave terrific service as well. read more

Food is absolutely Fantastic. The only Reason I give it 4 stars is because Its ALWAYS Packed and I hate crowds, But, thats how good the food is so I suggest giving it a visit! read more

First Watch is an asset to the city of Charleston. It's one of the few places in town to get fresh, healthy food without just getting a salad. The service has always been good when I've been there. The food is consistently delicious no matter what I get. I love that there are vegan/vegetarian options here because there aren't a wide array of those in WV. Keep the good food coming! read more

What a delicious lunch! Food was so tasty and fresh. The staff was super friendly. I recommend the chicken salad melt and the butternut squash soup. read more

Best restaurant in Charleston. Service, cleanliness, organization, staff friendliness all top notch. Food unbelievable and fresh! If not, they will make it right. Open for amazing breakfast and lunch 7am til 2:30 pm. read more

My fiancé and I are always in search of a good breakfast and brunch spot whenever we travel, and this definitely hit the spot. When looking at the menu, First Watch clearly likes to focus on natural, nourishing and wholesome dishes while making them incredibly delicious. While they do offer some heavy favorites such as biscuits and gravy, their "healthy" take on it is delicious. Aside from the food, the service was good and the staff was very friendly. I would definitely check this place out if you're in the area and looking for some good food! read more

When visiting family in Charleston, my husband and try to get to First Watch. The line might appear lengthy on the weekend, but it's a large enough restaurant where you don't have to wait long. They have an impressive selection on their menu. This past weekend I selected coffee, a fresh pressed juice (only $3.99 for a big one) and the Caps, etc. I love mushrooms so opted for the Caps, etc. for my meal. I was excited to see my plate when Beverly placed it in front of me; a whole bowl of house roasted crimini with a little melted cheese on top. Next to the bowl, eggs and seasoned potatoes. I highly recommend that one! Omelettes are big and service is good. They have a nice website with their menu on it too. read more

Great place for breakfast and brunch. Plenty of food on the plate. Many unique dishes.

Good custom house blend coffee. You can purchase a bag to go. Wait staff was nice, but crappy. Stepping into this joint, I felt I had just interrupted a bunch of pubescent teens amidst childish drama. Excuse me while I stand here waiting for the hostess to trade bubble gum flavors with another drama queen. The cranberry nut oatmeal was fantastic. Coffee was great. I'll definitely go back and hope the wait staff have out-grown their bubble gum. read more
