Eat at this restaurant once a week. Food is excellent and consistent and so is the service. Almost always the breakfast menu whether it's 9 o'clock in the morning or 1 PM in the afternoon. Will continue to come back. read more

First Watch in Clemmons will ALWAYS be one of my favorite places to stop in for breakfast. The food is always so good and so fresh. I ordered the Bacado Omelet with a side of the Million dollar potatoes and toast paired with a purple haze to drink. However, I left a 3 start review because the service was not very good at all the day me and my friend visited here the restaurant was not very busy at all and there seemed to be a lot of staff working that day so there really was no excuse. Our waitress did not check on us one single time after giving us our food. read more

One of the best breakfast places around the area. We have eaten here a few times now, this is a breakfast brunch joint so it closes early, 2:30. An open, high ceiling interior with a short bar. The host station is center as you walk in the door, with the cash register at the front. It can be ridiculously busy and over crowded on most weekends and at peak times during holidays, with over half an hour wait times. I tend to avoid those times, and its a relaxed and enjoyable breakfast brunch place. On any given Monday through Friday after 10.30-11ish, you can walk right in and sit. Good omelettes, along with bowls and the menu has a nice variety of breakfast brunch options. Our servers each visit have always been kind and friendly. My last time in, ordered an omelette with fruit the Chili Chorizo and it was very good. A solid choice. A well made omelette loaded with roasted onions, chorizo, avo and cheeses, topped with diced green chili. Before that, the farmstand breakfast tacos also a solid choice. Three well prepared tacos with a side black beans, fresh avocado and pico with scrambled eggs, chicken, and chorizo. Their breakfast donuts, when available are a treat all on their own. Another cool part of this eatery, they juice daily. We always grab a juice with our coffee and meal, My preference has been the Morning Meditation, orange, lemon and tumeric, with ginger, agave nectaa and beet. Its a turbo charged OJ. 4 Stars a solid choice for a good meal 01156 read more

This place was packed this Sunday. Even with get in line we waited 40+ minutes. We ordered the million dollar bacon which was great. Unfortunately it all ran downhill from there. Belgian waffle for my wife was stone cold My salmon eggs Benedict never materialized had to order a traditional Eggs Benedict. It was cold also. I gave up. So listen up folks. I wish you well but you need to to review what went wrong and make a better effort read more

I'm not a big breakfast person with one exception; when I am traveling. I like eating breakfast out. It's especially good when I can find a place that offers non traditional foods or unique dishes. First Watch is exactly this type of place. Their food is always fresh and the staff and service is friendly and helpful. This particular location is more tables than booths and is noisier than others I've visited but other than that the experience was great. Highly recommended. read more

Only giving a four star because what I ordered lacked an ingredient . The food was absolutely delicious and the service was quick and friendly. I ordered the BLT Eggs Benedict and it lacked the advertised vine ripened tomatoes. It was still a great Benedict but would have loved to have had the tomatoes. Seating is abundant with indoor, outdoor and a bar area. They do serve alcoholic breakfast beverages. Parking could be a challenge if coming at a busy time of day as the restaurant also shares with four other businesses. Overall a great experience. read more

Came on a Sunday mid day brunch time and it was busy. I waited around 30 mins to be seated but First Watch doesn't disappoint. It was a bit chilly so I orders the hot chocolate. It was a mountain of hot goodness. I also ordered the farmhouse hash with scrambled eggs. On the photo it is missing the toast that comes with it because I ordered it with no butter and it they brought it with butter. However, Madison, who was our waitress, immediately changed it and brought it nice and hot to the table. Great experience, great service and yummy food. Come early or be ready to wait. P.S. On a side note I wish they had more options than just plain coffee. Just a thought and a wish, lol! read more

First Watch is a favorite breakfast spot for my family. We always love coming here to enjoy some good food. They offer a great selection of both healthy and regular breakfast favorites. Waiters are always super nice and helpful when making your choices. Ambiance is cool, with some music playing in the back ground, but never annoying. read more

I've been to this location (and only this location of this particular chain) twice now. If I had rated it after my first visit, it would have gotten a solid 4.5 stars - the eggs are completely unseasoned, which is bizarre to me, but other than that it was really good - but then I came back for a second visit. Both times I ordered the same thing - the Trifecta with scrambled eggs, pork sausage links & a Belgian waffle. This time (07/22/2025) it was disappointing. The service was exceptional, just like the first time. I left our server a 25% tip - I worked as a server myself for a few years, and she was great. The fruit compote that comes with the waffle is also amazing - I asked for extra, and they gave me three times the normal amount. But again, my eggs were completely unseasoned, and it's difficult to salt eggs once they've cooked. Most of the eggs weren't seasoned enough, even after I'd salted them with the annoying salt grinder - which is so completely redundant, salt is salt is salt is salt, it's not like grinding it releases extra flavor like it does with pepper - and some of the eggs were way too salted. I wish they would have seasoned them as they were cooking them. But what made it a 3-star experience that honestly was closer to two stars is that this time the sausage links were noticeably overcooked and the Belgian waffle wasn't crispy or warm. That was the first thing I took a bite of, and it was not crispy at all when I cut into it with my fork. I actually had to work to separate a piece from it to eat. My first experience made me want to return again soon. My second visit made me decide I will never be back. It's a shame. But if I'm going to spend money on a breakfast that is more costly than most, I want it to be worth it. And this latest visit was definitely not worth it. read more

This was my first visit to this upscale breakfast/brunch chain. The interior is modern in decor, bright and clean. The noise level is rather high from all the table talk. I order Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon ($15.29) and an order of Million Dollar Bacon ($5.99). The order was out quickly, beautifully plated. The Eggs Benedict came with an organic mixed greens salad with a lemon based dressing - flavor and fresh! The Eggs Benedict dish had several problems which really messed the whole thing up! While the poached eggs were perfectly cooked both the sliced tomato and the thin slices of salmon were refrigerator cold, quickly turning the eggs cold as well. I have never encountered this dish before were the salmon was stone cold - the flavor seems off as well but that might be the temperature. Quickly realized I am not a fan of cold poached eggs. In addition the ciabatta was barely toasted, if at all, further adding to a dish that grew colder and colder! The Million Dollar Bacon was quite tasty. It is well fried hardwood smoked and glazed with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne, and a maple syrup drizzle. The other decent aspect of this visit was that the service was very good. Otherwise this was pretty much a big time kitchen failure, and not an inexpensive one. Between the noise, the pricing (coffee is $3.85), awful parking near the restaurant, and the poorly prepared dish, there is scant little to like. No return anticipated! read more

Eating there is fine. People are nice and food good. Delivery is hit or miss. They always give you plastic cutlery even if every time you check "no." Eggs are prepared to order sometimes. Today was a new low: the fruit cup menu photo shows full container of mixed fruit. See photo of what I received. Few pieces of pineapple and grapes. Didn't even cover bottom of container. The delivery food prep person appears to not care or isn't supervised or both. Pretty consistent the orders are rarely as to order. We order breakfast cuz busy or sick or just lazy. Having to complain takes a lot of time but I'm tired of it. Good luc read more

This place is always great! The menu options are like no other! Every member of our family love coming here. I specially like the in Clemmons, because it's near a walking trail towards the small lake. You can eat then burn off the calories with a scenic walk. The restaurant offers outside and inside seating. The staff is always great. I have a pleasant experience every time. I was so hungry I forgot to take pics of my meal but I recommend every single item on the menu, and that is rare to say about a restaurant. Open concept with exposed HVAC on the ceiling. Warehouse/farmhouse homey feel. read more

My husband took me here this morning for Valentine's Day breakfast and it was my first time at a first watch. It was a good introduction! I gotcha the chickichanga which was well prepared, flavorful and a nice portion to start your day. We also got the million dollar bacon which was actually $5 bacon, it was a tasty addition, basically thick cut bacon drenched in syrup and sprinkled with black pepper, nothing not to like! My husband got the elevated egg sandwich which was nice looking and he gave me a bite, unfortunately my bite exploded the egg yolk all over me, and I mean ALL OVER, I was decimated and we had to go home after so I could change because my shirt and pants were so thoroughly destroyed with egg yolk. I don't hold this against them however, this was my own fault, but just.. beware. Dangerous sandwiches. read more

I've been to this location several times, and they've been great every time. The service is fast (dare say too fast) and friendly. The restaurant is overall clean and aesthetically pleasing, and they have an outdoor patio area to enjoy some coffee and pancakes al fresco on a warm day. The food is consistently delicious, and I've tried pancakes, avocado toast, huevos rancheros, and smoked salmon benedict. There's a ton of breakfast places in Clemmons, so there's no reason to wait in line for eggs. I'll definitely be back here though! read more

Have eaten at two different locations on several occasions. Food and service has been excellent. Would definitely recommend.

On this day, it took 30 minutes for me to place my order receive it and leave where normally it will take 10 minutes not longer than 15. I had to wait 10 minutes before anyone waited on me and then to check on my order after receiving it it was missing some items I guess having to experience this once in the five or six times I've been there is not bad. The food is always good, but apparently they have issues with the front in staff. read more

I am always up for trying new places to eat. So when my friend suggested First Watch for breakfast, I jumped at the chance. I ordered the breakfast verde burrito stuffed with everything lol. The food came out fairly quickly but you could tell It was freshly prepared. The burrito was MASSIVE. Even with my size, I could only manage 1/2 of it and boxed the rest for my wife to try at home. The burrito was delicious! Physical space 10/10 Service 10/10 FOOD 10/10 Now understand, breakfast was a bit pricey at $12 for this burrito but as an occasional treat, yum yum yum! There are cheaper options out there but I'm a firm believer you get what you pay for. I don't mind spending extra for quality food and service. I will definitely return for breakfast and try something new. They have something called Million Dollar Bacon. That's next for me. Give yourself a treat for breakfast and try them out. read more

I don't remember what I ordered. It was some kind of skillet with a couple of eggs on top. What I do remember is what my wife ordered and the one bite she shared with me. It was a featured, seasonal item called the New Yorker. It's basically their Elevated Egg Sandwich on an everything bun with a pile of shaved pastrami. Holy cow that sandwich was amazing. I kept hoping she would offer another bite... or be too full to eat the other half. But there she sat, egg yolk oozing down her fingers and pastrami juices on her chin, savoring every bite. We have this rule about not ordering the same thing when we go out to eat... but if this is still on the menu the next time we go, I'll be getting it for sure. read more

I got the eggs sunny side up and it was surprisingly filling. The ambiance is rustic southern with a nice industrial architecture. read more

I was so disappointed in our first visit. Upon arrival, we thought "dang this place is poppin', it must be good." Wrong. However, let me start with a positive.. their hostess is a hostess with the mostest. She was putting people on wait list, seating parties, checking guests out at the register, all with a smile (behind her mask). Wish I got her name. The sad part.. it took over an hour to get mine and my husbands food. I understand the world is understaffed, but I'm pregnant and when I'm hungry.. I'm HUNGRY. Had I known it would've taken that long, I would've gladly come back another time. But we never got a "hey sorry for the wait" or "your food should be out soon." So, maybe this is why I didn't like the food? The waffle was, eh. I did like the berries though. Bacon, I did not like, not sure if it was turkey bacon, but two thumbs down. My husband had a skillet breakfast and he said it was fine. Now, back to a positive, the cinnamon roll was SOOO GOOD. Would probably only return to get that. Overall, I would return to get a cinnamon roll, to go, but that's probably it. read more

We had the Loaded Omelette and Frittata Rusitca. Eggs were fluffy and all the veggies inside were seasoned well on their own. Both dishes were very good. Tried a season juice: Blazing Dragon.

First time to this Clemmons location. Sat outside as it was a nice sunny day and felt good in the sun. Celebrating the best boss evers birthday. This was her lunch choice. Our server Melissa was stellar , always around, and super friendly. You order a coffee here and you get a whole bottomless pot ! I wasn't super hungry so I just got the vegetable soup and their whole grain toast, which I love . It's the best bread, totally worth the carbs if your restricted. Soup was full of chunky veggies , nice tomato broth. A generous serving too. Others got the veggie soup with the sweet honey pecan salad, which looked so colorful and delicious and according to my boss it was ! The half portion looked huge to me . Can't imagine a whole ! Also the eggs with toast and a mixed green salad, was a big hit , another fan of the toast. Unfortunately we had one person who just started a diet so had just eggs and whole grain toast, and left a piece of the toast to my horror! We had bought a cake for the birthday girl, and when Melissa saw it she commented on how it looked so good, so we gave her a big piece . She said whoever made this need to open a bakery ! It was the one on a diet who baked it . Funny. This first watch has a great outdoor patio out back, and it's huge inside too. I always love the first watches I goto and the food is good, but for some reason I find it a tad bit pricey for breakfast foods, sandwiches and salads. This is a great location though. read more

I was very excited to see a First Watch second location open in Clemmons, especially in the midst of current times. Since pausing my most favorite pastime of dining in for breakfast and brunch (due to my own COVID precautions), I am equally excited to discover First Watch Clemmons opens at 7am- hence plenty of opportunity to navigate in and out before busy times. My wait to finally dine in for breakfast was well worth it! The Works omelet was perfectly done and very satisfying. It came with a mixed green salad with a delightfully fresh, lemony vinagrette which has now debuted at the top of my list of favorite sides. If you are interested in dining for a cause, when you drink a cup of coffee you support the Mujures en Cafe (Women in Coffee) and their mission to grow the highest quality coffee, support their families and strengthen their communities in Huila, Columbia. Additionally, the ambience of the restaurant is very inviting. The placement of tables and obvious sanitizing practices maintain a very comfortable, safe feel. To top my visit off, my server Madison was delightful and very attentive. Finally, did I mention First Watch Clemmons has a very interesting brunch "wellness" cocktail list- with or without alcohol? I can't wait to try these and other menu items on my next early a.m visit, which will be very soon! read more

First time at this location and while the service was a little slow, the food was just as good I remember from the other location I've been to. I got the egg white Bacado omelet with potatoes and toast. I also got a side of the mixed greens because it comes with a DELICIOUS lemon vinaigrette and I just couldn't pick between that and the potatoes (which are perfectly seasoned and have a great crisp but not dry!). I also love their toast because it's a whole grain artisan bread which is so flavorful and hearty. It comes with a jelly that tastes really fresh and not overly sweet! My husband got the carnitas burrito which is a seasonal item. It was HUGE! He loved it and was veryyy full afterwards (two thumbs up!). We also split the iced coffee which I'm not even a coffee fan but I love it from here, definitely sweet but not too sweet. Personally love the atmosphere of this place too, gives a farmhouse feel inside and it's super clean! read more

I am just a well rounded First Watch fan, but this was something that was introduced to me by my sister, when she first took me to the Clemmons location.

The décor is super cute, all though the bathroom was not the cleanest, and they had my favorite oat milk creamer in tiny packets which I had never seen before.

Food is always good. Took off a star because for the prices they charge, they should add another sausage link, and $4.00 for coffee is outrageous. I'm sorry but it is. Our server only brought us one pot of coffee, never came back to refill it so two of us shared it, and we were both charged the $3.99 each for the coffee. It's good for breakfast and lunch but know you'll be paying more compared to other popular places for breakfast and lunch. read more
