Food was delicious! They forgot our appetizer but ended up giving it to us for free since it wasn't delivered and had to be re-requested. Cool ambiance. A bit loud in the restaurant. read more

So me and my girlfriend was going here for our breakfast date and everything was good up until we decided to give each other a piece of our waffle and pancake but when I got her piece there was a long blonde hair inside her pancake and we was both filled with disgust and even after all that nobody apologized and then they said they was going to take it off but didn't and instead took 2 dollars off both our meals and gave me a coupon, I'm disappointed first watch so that's why I'm giving yall a 1 star ! read more

First Watch was NEEDED SO BADLY in Clemmons and I'm glad it's here! The perfect brunch spot with friendly staff, super clean, and delicious food and drinks. I actually went to First Watch twice in one week lol-- once with family and once with friends. The first visit I had an omelette with greens salad and toast. It was all delicious, especially the greens salad, which was seasoned with lemon juice and so fresh! On my next visit I tried the seasonal pumpkin pancake and it was absolutely amazing!! I also tried one of their seasonal cocktails which was a mix of rumchata and cold brew garnished with a cinnamon stick. I wish these fall menu items could stay forever :,) they're that good! read more

Although the restaurant decor is appealing and the menu was very interesting and had many items that my wife and I wanted to try, we decided to go for a classic breakfast item called Trifecta on their menu for our first visit to this chain. The restaurant was very busy this Saturday morning and a 30 minute wait was required to get a table, which was not bad since we could walk around outside since the staff just texts you when your table is ready. Unfortunately, it took another 30 minutes from the time we received our table and sat down to the time that we received our food. We did not receive the syrup for our pancakes when the food was delivered which delayed our first bite of pancake by over 5 minutes. Once the food was tasted, it was apparent that one meal was served with a burnt pancake (the meal consisted of 2 scrambled eggs, 2 link sausages, and one pancake) and the other meal seemed to have dried out scrambled eggs, so almost an entire meal between the two Trifecta's was not very good. Our server said he would get the pancake deducted from our meal since it was obviously burnt, but that did not occur, so we mentioned it to the cashier after she asked how our meal was, and she was able to get the charge removed after speaking with a supervisor. Since other customers around us had food that was visually very appealing, and they seemed to be enjoying their meals, and in the end we were not charged for the bad meal, my wife and I agreed to give the restaurant another chance in the future. read more

Food is great. Nice servers, comfortable atmosphere Only one "gripe": They use plastic straws when this could be substituted with paper straws. I was trained as a chemist. The plastic straws NEVER DECOMPOSE and find their way back into our food as microplastics that never leave our bloodstream. The difference in price is about 25 cents/straw. (Add 35 cents/ beverage to cover the cost of straw and we will all be a "little" bit healthier) I believe that this establishment tries to offer healthy food. How about a healthy environment? (with very little effort ) read more

Just had breakfast here Teresa was absolutely the best waitress I have ever had Amazing Place read more

I love their egg white veggie omelette with bread and a side of greens. Their Bloody Mary comes with a huge olive and bacon slice. The wait is rather long to get seated and patience is required waiting for your food. read more

We are regular Sunday morning customers and Ameriki not only remembers us but comes to the table with a bright smile and friendly greeting. She remembers our orders and is ready to go. Ameriki doesn't forget us and is prompt with our coffee and tea refills. It really helps when we see smiles and friendly greetings. Makes us feel welcomed. Chuck and Holly read more

I will NOT be going back. I was a frequent customer until today. It took 3, Three tries to get my order correct. No apologies from management. No offer to adjust my bill. I simply paid (no tip) and let them know I will not return. I will miss two waitresses there: Cammie (Cameron) and Taylor. Neither were working today. Best wishes to them... read more

Very Humble but warning they don't add and cream or milk to your tea, coffe and, hot chocolate they do have cream packets but then your drink tastes like pastashios read more

The service was amazing waitress had great recommendations and she was the sweetest thing ever was having a horrible day and she completely turned it around! read more

Food was okay. Ambiance was okay. Service better on one occasion than the other. Overall ... Meh. Not as memorable as I was expecting- perhaps our expectations were too high. read more

The wait staff was friendly and professional. The food was ok but not for the price. "Classic" Eggs Benedicts are not classic. Served on a toasted ciabatta roll and smoked ham. But they were good. The lemon dressed vinaigrette greens are a nice touch. The roasted potatoes were dried out and served with a lot of blackened ones mixed in. We had breakfast late. So maybe that's why they were so overcooked. No excuse though. The pork sausage links were overcooked and dried out as well. read more

First time here and the food is amazing! I loved the soft bun of the egg sandwich with the smooth advocates!!! The pancakes are HUGE! Nice and fresh taste with great coffee! The ambiance is amazing and the service was great! I'll be back! read more

My husband and I just had their incredible classic eggs Benedict and seasoned potatoes! Excellent as was our server Michael! We will definitely go back soon! read more

I've had good breakfasts here. A bit more expensive than you might expect for breakfast food. Service was good. I had one juice concoction that I wouldn't order again. read more

What a refreshing breakfast spot. The wait was minimal and the setting was pleasant. First thing up was a pot of coffee - not a cup. We were able to order PDQ and get to business. Yes, they were very tolerant of a breakfast meeting at their location. We were able to talk business and enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast. We highly recommend this place for good food served with a smile at a reasonable price with a flair for the not typical breakfast. read more

Great food and love the outdoor dining area! Our wait staff was also amazing! Will define go back!

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at First Watch today. The roast beef and havarti sandwich was excellent, tender, with a crunchy cheese bread. The sweet pecan salad with crunchy bacon was fantastic. Service was also refreshingly excellent all around. So glad we tried this restaurant again and look forward to lunch there again. read more

Even though there's a First Watch where I live, I hadn't eaten there yet. We were in town visiting friends who recommended we try it today, and not only was it delicious, but our waitress Mallary was one of the best I've ever had. The entire staff was wearing masks and the tables were far enough apart that nothing felt cramped or close. Mallary was super attentive, answered all of our questions, and was so sweet and helpful. If you eat at this First Watch, you should definitely request her! read more

I've noticed this place for years. Finally today I decided to give them a try. Had the impression this was a fru fru place. I ordered the steak and egg burrito. It came out looking like a work of art; very nouveau, very trendy, but so-so tasting. Really should've been call bean and potato burrito as I tasted more of those with scant egg or steak. There was nothing included with the burrito, no toast, just a burrito sitting on a plate alone. I felt lonely and it looked lonely. The tab came to $19, with $3.85 for plain coffee alone!!! To their credit, they did have flavored creamer and fancy sugar, but wow, $20 for 1 burrito and 1 cup of coffee. I will give just about any place 1 try. I will not be back. I'm a "no frills" kinda guy. If u have friends or family coming to town and u wanna impress them with a high folutin place for brunch; maybe but never again. The waitress placed the bill on the table next to me. I felt a pang of nausea every time I looked at that $3.85 for coffee. Ouch, that really hurt! I normally go to Breakfastime right down the road, decent meal for half the price. I checked, cup of coffee there, $1.99 read more

Absolutely phenomenal! Can't wait to eat my way through the whole menu! Everyone in our party greatly enjoyed their meal (especially recommend the French Toast and the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes). Not only was the food great but our server, Michael, was a genuine, nice, welcoming guy! He was friendly, polite, timely, and was paying personal attention to everyone at all his tables! 10/10 would recommend both the service and food! read more

Great lunch! I enjoyed an excellent veggie frittata and the kale juice was delicious. My companion loved his sandwich and seasoned potatoes. We will definitely come back for another great meal. read more

Nice surprise! We stumbled onto this place exploring what Clemmons had to offer. Walking in I thought immediately that it was another Panera, but was pleasantly surprised that it was not. The menu was not what I expected as I was looking for possibly a greasy breakfast to help recover from the previous nights 'activities' that involved celebrating a big birthday. I ordered the Elevated Egg Sandwich with fruit instead of the seasoned potatoes. The sandwich blew my mind! It was absolutely delicious! Our server, Theresa was AMAZING! She was genuinely friendly, attentive and fun! When she found out we had never been there before she provided samples of the tasty veggie/fruit juices they make fresh in-house. She sold me on the kale one which I ordered one to go after my meal. Everyone was friendly, the restaurant was clean, bright and inviting and our food was delivered quickly! My new favorite place! read more

Fresh made dishes fro wholesome ingredients. Delicious! Super service with knowledgeable wait staff. We will be back for sure! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clemmons, North Carolina

We went to first watch because we were already in the shopping center. We decided to give it a try because we had never eaten there before. I walked in and looked around at the clientele and looked at the menu and thought this place is not for me. The menu had some very artisan choices on it. I ordered a sweet honey pecan salad and my fiancé got a salad and half of a sandwich combo. The service was superb but I was not impressed with the food. I would try it again but I paid $12 for a salad that was lacking in taste and my fiancé's food not not much better. I personally will not eat here again as this restaurant is not for me. If you like an artisan restaurant this is probably the place for you. read more

Was lucky to walk right in on a Sat. about 11 AM. Food was OK. We got classic eggs Benedict, but for the price, meh. Service was lacking. We basically got our food and the bill and that was it. I would have liked a drink refill or maybe even some salt and pepper. I think we'll stay with our usual breakfast place that is half the price and we're offered more tea and coffee on the. regular read more

Decent food and healthy options, although a bit pricy for a breakfast place , but overall very happy with this place.will go again.

I gave this place two chances. The food was mediocre at best. Way overrated. I think the young people look at it as a healthier choice of places to eat, but the quality is simply is NOT there, not to mention the parking in this area is horrible. read more

What a beautiful, family friendly venue. We enjoy your unique recipes, the food is tasty, healthy and delicious. We had the best server today, kind friendly and attentive in every way. You always take care of us like family! Thank you Teresa! Mr. Bob C read more

Our server Katelyn was so sweet and gave great service! The purple haze drink is amazing:)

The service was atrocious. We had to ask for straws twice, there was parsley on two plates of French toast, there was chocolate on the one plate of bacon, that we received. We had ordered a second side of bacon and did not receive it. In addition we ordered donut holes which were on our ticket, but did not receive, until I complained. At that point they were taken off the bill and we where handed a box of BURNT donut holes. We will never return or recommend this place, which is unfortunate, as this was previously a family favorite location. read more

Great atmosphere and the food is awesome. We have eaten here several times and it is becoming one of my wife's favs. Thus far we have not been disappointed at all. The wait on the food is a bit but if you have the time the atmosphere is great so it's an awesome place to try. read more

Great food , nice restaurant. Our waitress was great . But the hostess could be friendlier.
