Came at 10am on a Saturday and the place was already busy! We were sat immediately and our server came to the after a couple seconds! She took our drink and food order and it all came out really quick! I got the chicken avocado chop salad and the lavender haze to drink. Everything was really good and we stay and chatted for a while and never felt rushed! Overall a great vibe and delicious food! read more

First Watch - Chicken Avocado Chop Salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Sat down and 30 seconds later we were asked by the server if we were ready to order? Trying to turn the table already? A minute later asked again. Finally we order and when bloody Mary comes the Bacon garnish was ice cold ? Then the over easy eggs I ordered on the special steak hash were medium well at best. I asked server for replacement. 10 mins later I went to her and asked where my,replacement eggs were. She replied that I told her I didn't want them? Instead of saying that she would get them right out.? Needs retraining for sure. The hash maybe had 1 oz of steak like product in the hash which did have good flavor read more

For all breakfast lovers out there they need to make this a stable. Be sure to go with time, not because the service but because of its popularity. They offer tons of breakfast options from American style to Latin American style to seasonal options that make the place feel like you're trying something new every time you go. If you plan a visit you MUST get the million dollar bacon! On my first visit it blew my mind and after countless times coming back I can say it's a staple that you must include for those small indulgences. read more

So today, January 6th, First Watch came out with their new Seasonal menu which includes The B.E.C (Bacon. Egg. Cheese) sandwich but also the ever so savory and tasty, Chimichurri Steak & Egg Hash. My girlfriend & I shared this plate because it is simply huge and packed with flavor. Let's start off with the steak itself. Seared and cooked to perfection, it took on a Brazilian twist with the Chimichurri sauce along with the red & orange bell peppers. It was peppered with Feta cheese, spinach, and spices from the diced potatoes that it comes with. But let's not forget the eggs your way (we opted for over medium) that settles right in middle of it all. The service from First Watch is always impeccable and the ambiance that First Watch gives is a sense of family & belonging. I truly love this place from the bottom of my heart with my go to entree always being The Trifecta which comes with a crispy vanilla belgian waffle that is light in weight but when doused with warm maple syrup and blueberry compote, it is unmatched to any other belgian waffle I have ever tasted. You also get your choice of meat such as hardwood bacon, chicken sausage (my fave), ham, and turkey sausage links. If you like spicy and sweet, upgrade your regular bacon strips to the Million Dollar bacon which is a maple glazed and spicy dressing that the bacon strips are smothered in. It can't be beat! read more

Been to this location a bunch of times because Clermont, for all its great qualities, has a SUPER limited breakfast/brunch scene. This First Watch location is consistent with others I've been to. The food is decent quality with fresh ingredients. I especially love their wheat bread. Due to it being one of the only places to get breakfast in the area, it does get busy on weekends. If you arrive after 9 am it'll be busy & likely have a wait. But during the week it's pretty slow. This particular visit I ordered one of the specials - a steak and eggs hash. My eggs were cooked over hard when over medium was requested but that's not a huge deal. The parmesan sauce on the top was delicious (made up for the lack of yolk) and overall the bowl was tasty. My best advice is to go with the specials. They tend to be more flavorful and interesting than the regular menu. read more

First Watch - Steak & Eggs Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clermont, Florida

We have visited this location many times, and it's pretty consistent. They're usually busy, so it's noisy and the servers are slammed. I do really like some of their food (the million dollar bacon and lemon ricotta pancakes are my go to), but the prices for everything are insane. We spent over $100 for brunch for 3 adults and 1 kid. The last couple times we've gone, I was very put off by a strong odor in the restaurant. It smelled like sewer pipe gas... so unappetizing! We were seated toward the back of the restaurant each time. We may drive to a different location if we decide to go back again. read more

I've been to this location a couple times and it's pretty good. The key is to come before the brunch rush because it gets very crowded. My most recent visit was this (Sunday) morning, around 8:30 am. The place was mostly empty so we were seated right away and received excellent, attentive service from our waiter. I ordered the shishito brisket hash. I believe it's a summer special. It was very tasty but I felt it could've used a little more meat. My husband got the traditional breakfast and he was happy with it. Both of our meals were served piping hot, which was great. read more

Great spot for brunch! Delicious food and good service. So many brunch options to choose from and the quality of the food is very good. The ambiance is very nice and full of energy. But do except to wait some time before being seated. I had the Chorizo Omelette and it was very tasty and filling. It came with toast and a side salad. The omelette itself had lots of veggies and was very flavorful. I would definitely get it again. When I'm back in this area I'll try something else from their menu because everything looks great! read more

This location is next to five guys and parking is pretty easy. A little disappointed in the brunch here. While I do appreciate that it seems their ingredients are of higher quality, the taste was not there for me to get it more than 3 stars. Coffee was very weak, and the mint mocha with cold foam was underwhelming. I actually don't know if there was coffee in the mocha. Anyway, also ordered the spiced donut holes and millionaire's bacon. While they had a decent taste, I have definitely had better of both. Also the donut holes seemed baked which is not what I was expecting. Anyway, ordered the farmhouse hash. I had it come with side of fruit and buttered grits. They use bob's red mill grits so it is also of high quality and those tasted good. The hash was also good but I wished it had a meat in it as well and more cheese with less potato. Tried also the eggs Benedict and it had just a little too much lemon in the hollandaise, and poached egg was a little overcooked but otherwise decent as well. read more

I have been to a few different First Watch locations and this is probably my favorite one to eat at! It is in a location in Clermont close to where I run a lot of races, so it has become a spot we frequent often after we have run. The service is always great and the food is fresh and hot. And they offer an option that you can put your name on their waitlist on their app so you can see how long the wait is approximately. Yes there are a lot of First Watch locations, but this is one of the best! read more

First Watch - The Tri-Fecta for breakfast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clermont, Florida

We went at 12:30 PM on a Friday and I was certain they would be packed...they were. We only had to wait about 3 minutes before we were seated and a server appeared right away with water and greeted us. Our order was taken be our smiling waitress as soon as we were ready. Our food was Great! My grandchildren kept commenting on how much they liked the fried potatoes and their meals. I loved my waffle, eggs and Sausage. I can't say enough good things about First Watch, their staff and the food. I will be back and I would encourage everyone to come and try it out! Phyllis Lamb read more

The maple bacon was great but the eggs Benedict, not so good. Came out cold and had to send it back for a new order. Next time I think I will go with Waffle House ... read more

I was there today for breakfast and ordered the chipotle chicken hash. I was very clear to my server that everytime I prefer the hash it's a bowl full of potatoes please less potatoes. It didn't happen, 3, yes 3 slithers of chicken and a bowl full of potatoes please less. His response was everything is portioned. I only ate the 2 eggs and said to him charge me for them. Not thinking he would especially after speaking to the manager. My bill was almost $10 for 2 eggs. lol the waiter was waiting for me at the register with a pot of coffee in hand asking me if I wanted a coffee to after having Again the most ridiculous breakfast I've ever had. DONT ORDER THE HASH IN WHATEVER FORM THEY ARE SELLING IT. First watch lost me as a customer, I've been going there since they've opened. read more

We decided to try this first watch in Clermont today and really enjoyed it! It was a bit busy since we got there around noon on a Saturday, but we only waited for about 10 minutes to be seated. I had the kale tonic juice my wife had the morning meditation juice, both were very good! I had the works omelet and she had the shrimp and grits. We were very satisfied with our meals and portion sizes. It's been some time since we've gone to first watch, and this one did not disappoint! read more

I recently ordered takeout for breakfast, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. I ordered 5 meals The Trifecta came with only a sparse amount of egg, more of a garnish than a proper serving. It lacked the protein needed to feel satisfying. Additionally, another order promised fresh fruit, but it was conspicuously absent. Without the fruit, the plate felt incomplete and unbalanced--just carbs and fat with no brightness or sweetness to round it left me feeling like I didn't get my money's worth. A little more care with portioning and ensuring all promised components are included would make a big difference. read more

First Watch - The Trifecta breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Store was out of Diet Coke. Waitress had inch and a half nails gel So unsanitary in the food industry. Look it up. The bacteria load is astounding. Meal was a simple pancake and bacon. Pancake was very dry and bacon was road kill crispy. How bad can you mess this up? 1/2 the plate was uneaten just so disappointing. No questions from Waitress as to how everything was. She left my bill. Went to pay -stood there at an empty station. And when the guy came to check me out - he asked if I was ready. "That's why I'm standing here". Again- didn't ask how my visit was. I guess they don't care or maybe they already know. Not worth a repeat visit Been in Fla eight years and this was the second time Ive gone to First Watch. last time for sure! My money is too valuable to waste it on this establishment. read more

The food was all cold. Bread not even toasted. didnt send back because it was packed definitely wouldn't go back. Waitress slow asked for water took a bit to get glasses. I won't go back . Ill sti k to bob evans read more

Came back to give them another chance. As much as I wanted to like First Watch their quality has gone down a lot. The food was decent but the salad really killed it for me. It's gone bad and they're still serving it. The salmon egg Benedict was $15 but it was maybe 2oz. The mushroom omelette was pretty good. The service was quicker so that's a plus. Unfortunately I won't be back to this location. I'm hoping other locations will be better. read more

While the food is good, the place is unbelievably loud. It was only half-full, yet we were yelling at each other from across the table and could barely hear each other. Opened a sound meter app I had and left it running - average of 83dB plus. Not worth the headache. read more

This is my first time at this location but I can say that the service is just as good across the board. I've never had bad service at any first watch and that's what's most important for me beside the food. Came here for family brunch and the ambiance was really relaxed. Miguel was such a great server and very patient/helpful with us as it was my moms first time here. The food was delicious as expected and the drinks were too. We left happy! read more

First Watch - Farmhouse hash, kids waffle meal with scrambled eggs, mimosa, pomegranate sunrise - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clermont, Florida

While the food is very good, the layout of the restaurant is horrid. It's an open environment which leads to everyone in the restaurant talking very loudly and at times shouting at each other to be heard. It's like trying to enjoy a meal in the middle of a crowd at a rock concert.. Not my idea of a nice brunch...... read more

Always consistent and very friendly and attentive service. Seasonal options are always very interesting and delicious

Great fresh options here. Food is almost like home. We enjoy both bfast and lunch options. They have something for everyone (except beer lovers). Gluten free and vegetarian available as well. Soups are good. Salads creatively good. Egg dishes plentiful and delicious. Just no beer NOTE: This is a different location than my older review. This location is awesome read more

Let me start by saying I've been to many first wat h restaurants but this one was disappointing. The food took over an hour to come out and just getting an update on it along the way seemed like pulling teeth. The worst part of this experience was the LACK of customer service. I understand it gets busy at times but its another thing when customers have to hunt waiters down just to get more water. The salmon dish came with 2 small slices of salmon. When we questioned this the waitresses response was rude as she advised us we have to buy more. I guess something changed her mind when she brought a bit more a few minutes later. Overall the food was delicious, salmon fresh and on point but service is in need of help. Perhaps a more experienced manager to instill patience in their employees. I live locally now but unfortunately cannot recommend this restaurant. read more

Years ago I had a not so great experience at a First Watch by our house, so we had not been back since. We took longer than expected on an errand run in the area and were STARVING. It was 11 am and we were totally jonesing breakfast food. Driving around and checking Yelp for food in the area we literally drove by and I told my hubby to stop because it IS breakfast food. I loved the steps they are taking to distance diners, the servers were wearing masks and there was hand sanitizer available. The menu looked different than before and I was quite pleased to find many gluten-free options AND toast. WIN! Because of the delicious food and great experience we will be giving the one close to us another chance. read more

Had a great meal here. I've always enjoyed First Watch and this one was no different. I got the Parm Hash. I was wondering why it had the most calories of all the breakfasts and found out after. There's a ton of sausage! Even after I ate an ample amount, I had a bunch leftover, enough that I took it to go so I can make myself an omelet. :) Very clean, nice staff, would dine again! read more

First watch is our favorite brunch spot when we get a chance to brunch! We usually pick dishes from their main menu, but this time we picked from their seasonal menu and it did not disappoint! The pumpkin pancake is huge and comes with a chicken sausage with eggs your way. What makes the hash a million dollars? It has their seasonal million dollar bacon on it! The service is always quick and friendly. Go check out their fall menu while it lasts! read more

Well, I asked how long for a table for 5 and was told 29-30 minutes. I asked at 35 minutes snd was seated at a communal table. First thing I Saw was a table for 6 with 2 people there. We were seated 35 minutes ago snd so far we have coffee. There are three empty tables snd several people waiting. One person in our party ordered a fresh squeezed drink. That has not arrived. There are now 5 empty tables and people waiting outside. No food for us. I will update. Oh, and she insisted on my phone to text me when the table was ready. They texted me immediately and thereafter she came out to yell names. Four of the five breakfasts arrived. A few minutes later the last one came. The salad had no dressing. The food was well presented but that last meal was cold poached eggs. read more

I had a craving for pancakes and first watch did not disappoint. The lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The serving size was huge!! Two pancakes was enough for breakfast for two additional days!! They are one of the only breakfast places that serve chicken Pattie's (everyone serves turkey) and they were excellent: not too salty and pretty savory. My waitress was phenomenally efficient: quickly took my order, brought drinks, and even complimented me on my outfit. My only complaint would be that their sunrise specialty drinks arrive with a full glass of ice. I feel as if I paid for a glass of ice and only two straw fills of beverage BUT those two straws were tasty. My great waitress handled my complaint with major professionalism and brought me a replacement without ice (in a smaller glass but that was still more than before). Loved the interior and spacing between tables. Did not feel on top of the next table. Definitely will return! read more

Meh. So this First Watch was just ok! First watch will always be a great place for food. Idk, the flavor at this location was ok but I felt like I've had better tasting at other locations? Who knows!

There is absolutely nothing needing any improvement here. Excellent food and excellent service. We had breakfast here twice. The first day, I had a Belgian waffle, made with waffle batter, not pancake batter, like so many restaurants use. Big difference! Optional real maple syrup is very much appreciated. The second day, I had lemon ricotta pancakes, and I am in love. The bacon is good, and arrived crispy as ordered. This will be a favored spot whenever we visit Clermont. read more

First Watch delivers every single time. It's nothing fancy, but they somehow manage to maintain good options, great food and friendly service to create a really enjoyably brunch experience. I love the power chicken quinoa bowl. And their tomato soup is honestly some of the best I've had. I like to add a Morning Meditation juice for fruity balance Bites I've tried off of other peoples plates have always tempted me to try other items (Turkey sausage and biscuits- I'm looking at you next!) but I can't stray away from the tried and true. Service is always relatively quick and extremely friendly. I don't live in the state but whenever I visit, First Watch is a must-have. Just bought the cookbook so I can try some of these recipes on my own! read more

What a wonderful breakfast and great service. Understandably you have to wait a tad bit longer for food that is of this quality and freshness. I had the market veggie omelet and it was cooked perfectly fluffy with beautifully sauteed vegetables inside. Even their bread is outstanding. The menu is incredible. Something for everyone. Well thought out and creative. I can't wait to go back and work my way through their menu. The service was prompt and all staff were very polite, kind and helpful. read more
