    Avocado Chicken Avocado Chop Salad

    Pumpkin pancake was so good ! Served with warm syrup. I like that they give you the whole bottle of warm syrup to use as much or as little as you want. Chicken sausage was amazing. Avocado chicken arugula salad was great as well. Service has been ok those times that I visit. But when it's busy, the staff can get snippy and cut you off as they're trying to juggle too many tasks. Understandable, I would be stressed too if overworked. But it does decrease the enjoyability of the dining experience. I would suggest management beef up the staff coverage during rush hours

    The Quality of the Food is great . Food made fresh upon request. Large menu to choose from and fast service with a smile. Sign outside let customers know you there. The Restaurant is Very clean and the Service is Excellent.

    This was my first time at First Watch. I was not disappointed. The food wasn't out of this world good but it was good. For me, the service was the best. Apparently my pops has been there a few times because he remembered our server and he remembered my dad however, I don't think he did remember Pops but he made my dad feel like he remembered him and that is a good skill. The server was very helpful with picking items off the menu and all of his selections seemed to have been good. I liked mine but I probably won't get the waffle again but not because it wasn't good but I used to love waffles but I've moved on to french toast. That beet juice was interesting but tasted very healthy which doesn't mean it didn't taste good. It just wasn't sweet but it was good and it felt like it did something good for my system. We sat right outside of the kitchen so we did get to see all of the plates come out which is what I like to do so I can get inspired if I need some help finding something to eat but the server took care of that for us. I've been to another since and although the service and food was good, this guy was better.

    A great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Parking lot is big. We were seated quickly. The hostess was very nice. Our server was friendly and professional. She gave us time to look at the menu and also gave us time to sit and chat after the meal. The menu has a good variety for breakfast and lunch. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes. It came with lemon curd and strawberries. They were delicious. My friend had the fall special with a pumpkin pancakes, eggs and sausage. She also thought it was delicious! The server offered tea refills too. The space is open with a semi open kitchen. It is similar to an old school diner.

    Okaaay, listen up--First Watch just changed my whole fall vibe. I went in for brunch and got the pumpkin spice pancakes, and I swear to God they were like autumn hugging me in the mouth. Soft, fluffy, all warm and cozy, with that perfect spice that makes you wanna throw on Uggs and scream "it's pumpkin season, baby!" The place itself is mad cute--bright, chill, and def not like the Shore house after a night out. The staff was on point, super nice, and kept my coffee cup full like they knew I needed it to survive. Between the vibes, the food, and those pumpkin spice pancakes, First Watch is officially my new obsession. Like, I might move in. GTL? Nah, it's PSL now--Pumpkin Spice Life.

    I really liked this place up until now, I couldn't believe what happened to me on this round: Ordered one coffee, which back in the day they give a jug per cup to continue pouring into, we got charged 3 coffees... Omelette came out looking like a pancake sandwiching undercooked veggies. The sun-dried tomatoes looked a bit genetically modified.. I don't know but the eggs tasted like card board and was hard to chew. Asked for a different order but also got the different order wrong. Maybe it was just a bad day for someone. Completely understand. I'll still come back and check it out in the future, hopefully it'll be better then.

    Steak hash with ciabatta roll (seasonal)
    Michelle L.

    Overall, I am a fan of First Watch. I do think they are a little overpriced at times, but they do brunch well and the portions are done well. This location is no exception. Visiting from Florida, this place seemed smaller than the ones in Orlando, seating wise. They were just as busy as Orlando locations as well, but since it was a rainy day, all the outdoor seating was not being utilized. Our party of 4 was seated with not much of a wait, and the server was attentive and friendly. I ordered the seasonal steak hash and my fiance ordered some potatoes and toast. The steak hash was just enough food and quite delicious. It came with this ciabatta roll that was toasted with cheese that I was not much a fan of. I would've preferred some toast. My fiance got a hefty amount of potatoes for his side order and I snacked on some. He said the server could've stopped by a little more to see how we doing, but the place was quite busy.

    Million dollar breakfast sandwich And honey bacon Brussels hash
    Amelia C.

    Very busy on a Tuesday for brunch. We ordered the seasonal entrees: Million dollar breakfast sandwich and honey bacon Brussels hash. I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich a lot. The honey balanced out the salty flavors. The arugula in the sandwich helped cut some of the fat. I liked that I kept the bacon on the side. My sandwich came with either potatoes, salad or toast. The potatoes were cooked and seasoned perfectly.

    Chocolate chip pancake

    My son and I played hooky and went for breakfast. We both have some food allergies and had to make some changes. I asked to make own breakfast sandwich and was told we couldn't but then she remembered that they did serve English muffins so she let us. We asked for his potatoes with no onions but it came with onions so he didn't eat them. He loved the pancake though. I had the eggs Benedict. It wasn't creamy and was very lemony. I guess if you prefer it light you may prefer it that way but I prefer it less lemony and more creamy and I wasn't a fan of the ham they used at all. I would go back to try something else on the menu though.

    Million dollar potatoes
    Jessica P.

    What a delightful find. On a road trip we made a special side trip due to reviews & it was fantastic. Clean place, quick service and perfectly seasoned food. Large selection and all five menu items did not disappoint. The portions are large and even though my eyes were bigger than my stomach I managed to finish every last bite.

    Sandwich was good. I'd hope so for a $14.00 egg sandwich. Got the side-eye when I didn't tip on takeout. But $.50 for packaging supplies on top? Spend it wisely because it's the last penny you'll get from me.

    Lavender Haze and Farmhouse Hash
    Ren H.

    The lavender haze drink was a unique drink. It tasted like flowers, and was really good! The breakfast hash was good as well. It's very busy inside, but still spacious enough. Service was good too.

    Tri-fecta, BLTE, and million dollar bacon
    Jenny V.

    Think we found our new favorite brunch spot! We really enjoyed our food and were excited to finally come here after months of driving past it. Parking is definitely a pain and there are limited spots. We got to the restaurant around 11ish and there was a 45min wait for a party of two. Will most likely come at a less busier time however food came out fairly quick and our waiter was friendly. Restaurant is clean and perfect to come with friends and family. Everything we ordered was sooooo good however our favorites were the million dollar bacon and million dollar potatoes. If you're looking so go elsewhere than your typical diner, I think you'll love coming here!

I stuck with my usual two eggs, which were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. My fiancée ordered the Pretty Toast, their take on French toast, topped with cream cheese, pecans, and sweetened peaches. It honestly reminded me of peach cobbler! When I saw her plate, my jaw dropped--I was instantly jealous! She let me steal a couple of bites, and it was absolutely delicious. It's one of those dishes you could enjoy for breakfast, brunch, or even as a sweet snack. The food was a solid 10/10. Our server, Ben, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. He took the time to tell us a little about the menu and even suggested we try something different. Looking back... I probably should have listened! The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and inviting. It honestly felt like sitting in your nonna's kitchen--warm, comfortable, and full of charm. We can't wait to come back and work our way through the dinner menu. If brunch was this good, we have a feeling dinner will be just as amazing!

When we arrived, the restaurant was busy, and we waited about 15-20 minutes after adding our names to the waitlist. Since it was a beautiful day, there was the option to dine indoors or outside. We chose to sit inside. My first impression was that the restaurant was lively and bustling, which made it feel like a popular neighborhood favorite. It also appeared to be both family-friendly and pet-friendly, which was a nice touch. For my meal, I ordered the Omelette & Potatoes with mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, and onions, along with a side of bacon. The omelet itself was good, but the bacon was a major disappointment. It was extremely overcooked--so crispy that it resembled bacon chips rather than strips of bacon. My daughter ordered the Egg White Wrap with turkey sausage, spinach, and feta, along with a side of fresh fruit. She enjoyed it well enough but felt it was just okay. Overall, we both agreed that the food was pretty basic. It wasn't bad and it was nothing to write home about. While the atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was attentive and the service was pleasant, the food didn't quite live up to the reviews I had read. Unfortunately, I don't think it's a place I'd be in a hurry to revisit.

I didn't have much time to check Yelp before I came here, so I missed the mixed reviews. What they got right: the service was very friendly, fast, and our server was probably one of the warmest and most attentive I've experienced at any restaurant. I had the French Toast cobbler and it was delicious. The crisp on the top and sides was a perfect contrast to the soft center and it was topped with the sweetest peaches. I had a mimosa made with cranberry juice and peach flavor and it was very good. My friend enjoyed her drink too and she enjoyed her French toast as well. Where things went wrong: as soon as I saw the scrambled eggs I thought, what happened? They looked matted to the plate and they barely had any cheese on them. Sure enough when I tried them they weren't fluffy in the least bit and they were harder than they should've been. And the turkey sausage...sigh...it wasn't even meaty: it had a bread-like texture and was pretty dry. I don't know why they expect that to pass as an actual turkey sausage. My friend wasn't crazy about the side of collard greens she ordered. She said they were just okay. But she did tell me she has had lunch there before and it was very good, so maybe that might be worth it for me to try.
