First Watch - Bad greens not eatable - American Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

The only reason I am giving this review a 3 star is because the service was good. The waitress got my order quickly and was very attentive. That being said, the food wasn't good. My eggs were supposed to be over medium and came out well done, the whole grain pancake didn't taste whole grain and the bacon (which I typically love) came out cold and didn't taste like the typical million dollar bacon. Super disappointed. This is the first time I have tried this location, I went pretty regularly in Colorado and it was always good. The server was awesome but food not unfortunately. Not sure I will come back. read more

Stephen was great! He was polite and attentive. We didn't have to ask for anything because he was either walking up to our table with it, or had it there already. Wonderful experience! Food wasn't bad either. Easy 9/10 read more

Food is amazing but why does it smell like manure. Service is alright. I would say its a 6/10 read more

They heard my grievances and rectified. Thank you customer service. I appreciate hearing my feedback in reference to my experience. Thank you read more

Super busy place. Food was ok. I ordered the trifecta w 2 eggs, 1 sausage link and a pancake. I thought it would have 2 links but nope. The pancake was huge. I just got my breakfast when I started itching and sneezing. I have a horrible pet allergy so I immediately started looking around. Turns out pets are ok to bring into a restaurant. There were people eating outside and they could've been sat there but no. Let's bring our pets everywhere we go. No shade to those folks who have pets but be aware that not everyone lives your pets like you do. Thanks to these folks I couldn't eat my breakfast and had to use an epi pen. read more

Food and Service were good, along with the fact that we had an amazing waiter, don't remember her name all I know is that she's expecting and had a great positive attitude, and had no problem assisting us with our many questions! read more

I would give it more because the food is really good and I love the drinks but this location in particular takes forever and if you try to order takeout they always have their phones off the hook. It can be really frustrating at times. Sitting here now waiting on my take out for 50 min smh read more

I have to start by saying First Watch is one of our favorite breakfast restaurants. We discovered First Watch in GA many years ago and started searching for them as we traveled from coast to coast. Overall, we have had anywhere from exceptional to average quality but never bad food or bad service. So this is a first for me - but it must be said - this was the worst experience ever at a First Watch. I ordered the Farmhouse Hash, which is my personal favorite. I love the onions and tomatoes layered over the top of the seasoned potatoes. Toss a couple of scrambled eggs and some fresh avocado and I'm a happy camper. This is the first and only time my potatoes were so undercooked they had the taste of raw potatoes. The onions, tomatoes and cheese tasted as if it had been scraped from the bottom of a pan and had congealed into one piece. The avocado slices had brown spots. My husbands meal was even worse. He got the smoked salmon Benedict and we were shocked when he cut into hard boiled eggs. The server replaced the eggs but left the food at the table getting cold as we waited. By the time she returned, the sauce was separating so we asked for more which she replaced without hesitation. The food was so bad had it been our first time we would never cross the threshold ianother First Watch. The only good thing that happened this day was good coffee and a kind server who tried her best with that the kitchen gave her. read more

First time eating from your restaurant. The French Toast is very good. I couldn't stop eating until it was gone. We were served by the delightful Toni Williams who is competent and friendly. Her presence made the breakfast even better. Will visit again. read more

Waffle was hot and tasty with the warm fruit compote! Service was very good! It was a bit crowded upon arrival with a large party of 12. Apparently we arrived at the backend of the Sunday rush. Otherwise it was nice and quiet. P.S. This experience was for the location in Concord, NC. Stay tuned for the Raleigh review. read more

Tried this place for the first time. Nice casual atmosphere and great menu. It has potential but they've GOT to get better cooks. I had the avocado toast that was supposed to come with eggs over easy, so that you can have the yolk run into the toast, and the eggs were way overdone with little to no runny yolk. My fiancé got the biscuits and gravy and they were barely warm when they arrived at the table. They corrected the cold sausage and gravy biscuits by making a whole new order which took to go at that point. Again, really good potential for this place and we'll give it another chance, but our first experience wasn't great. read more

Went to this location today. In the past I have really enjoyed the food and service... Today's visit was subpar. I never got the autumn drink that I ordered and that pumpkin pancake was tasteless. It was so bland!. I make better pumpkin pancakes with my Trader Joe's pumpkin pancake mix. I didn't even eat the pancake. I was so dissatisfied that I paid for my meal and immediately went to Maple Street Biscuit Company to get The Squawking Goat... read more

Every time I come here it gets better and better. The food came out quick and it was very hot. The servers are really nice, our server was (Mary) ask for her!!! She offered some great recommendations off the menu. We will definitely be back . read more

Waited a long time for table even with call ahead. But that was ok. Took long time to put order in and even longer time get meals. Waitress was rude 2 of our 3 meals arrived and after almost 10 minutes , waitress when asked about 3d meal responded that it would be soon. How hard is an omelette to make and serve? Another 8 minutes pass and it arrives- it's not hot, merely warm to the touch- so where was it sitting until it was served. Waitress attempted to remove plates before we were done. At one point she asked hows everything? And answered it herself a second later saying wonderful. It was anything but!!! I could not speak up as my son made the effort to treat me and I refused to embarrass him I will not return to this establishment- wait time, service time, cold food rude waitress. Too many things that need fixing. Not worth your time. Besides it's pricey not worth my hard earned $ read more

I understand that breakfast/brunch places are busy on the weekends. This place has got to figure out a different plan of action. I've tried to eat here 3 times and each time I'm given a wait times that turns into double what they quote and I end up leaving. Today, I actually made it to the table only to hear that the kitchen was on an hour and half wait time..... they act like they don't know that people will be coming. Eventually you have to stop putting names on the list and just let the kitchen and staff catch up. This is absurd and I watched 2 tables get up and leave before they got food. This cost the wait staff $$ too as they have spend the last hour making excuses for no food only for the table to leave and not leave a tip. I would love to try this place sometime. read more

Hey Yelp Friends! This morning I had the pleasure of eating First Watch with my best friend for breakfast. I wanted to keep it super light and not get anything heavy & First Watch has a great variety when it comes to breakfast or brunch. I tried the Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos w/ no chorizo and a morning meditation to make it complete. I love the morning meditation! I pretty much get it every time I come, I was never a fan of beets but this drink just makes me love them juiced. The tacos were pretty good as well and I would definitely try them again. We got our food take-out and ate a nearby park and the wait was not too long for a Sunday morning so I was thankful for that. But overall, good food and good take-out experience. If you are a breakfast lover and haven't tried First Watch yet, then what are you really doing? read more

Ridiculous wait time for 'call ahead' - only to then be told 45 minutes more. Given the prices we should expect better.

We really enjoyed our brunch today. Kristiana was our server and she did a tremendous job right from the beginning. The food as always was super tasty & on time, and we are looking forward to visiting again soon. Thank you Kristiana & team. read more

This was a first time experience but a nice one. The place is a little trendy, not your typical egg and bacon place unless you want fancy difficult to pronounce lettuce and tomato's added to your meal. A busy place at least the day We visited it was but service was quick and so was the arrival of our food. Our visit was a pleasant experience and we will return again. read more

First Watch - You can tell a lot about a place from its coffee , their coffee is pretty good! - American Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

I would have given this location a 5 except the parking can get out of hand here if you don't come at opening time. Also, this is the only location that doesn't take carry out orders on their app, nor do they answer their phone to even take orders. You literally have to go there in person if you want any type of food/service. read more

Came into First Watch with my grandmother after she told me it is her favorite breakfast place. We checked in, provided our phone number and stood on the side, to wait until our name was called. After 40 minutes of waiting, we realized two tables had been sat before us. When we checked in with the hostess, she was insincere, unapologetic and told us to give her a minute and she would seat us at a table (which she pointed to). We stepped back and watched the table get cleaned... only to see another hostess seating someone at our table! At this point, my grandma had no desire to eat here. Food was delicious, however I could have done without the unorganized atmosphere. read more

Had my first experience at this particular first watch 2 weekends ago. I've really only been to the location in Virginia, so it was nice to see there is a first watch in my new city. The wait time was pretty long. Even thirty minutes longer then the expected wait time after signing up on the wait list for a party of 6. Our waitress was pretty good. I love the food at first watch but from previous experience I'm not a fan of their eggs but decided to try again since it was a different location, so I ordered an omelet this time. It was actual pretty darn tasty. They have the best potatoes and that granola crunch pancake is like nothing else in the world. My only issue and still to this day (even at a different location) is they bring food out separately. You don't get everything together. For example, most received our potatoes first. Then a few received our meals. One of the girls who got her potatoes first received her actual plate about 12 minutes later. I mean I like to eat my food together. My pancake came a little after my other food as well. I just wish everything came at the same time. The timing is always all wrong. But other then that fresh hot great tasting food. read more

Highly recommend !! read more

Nice little spot in concord. Its new so expect wait. Food was yummy. Decor is very modern. No mimosas though.

I ordered takeout from here, and it wasn't worth the money. It's overpriced. The omelet was dry, and the pancakes were mushed into a container as if they'd fallen on the floor and they needed something to scoop it up with. I wouldn't eat at this location again. read more

I would rate it zero seats if I had the option. We joined the waiting list from home and checked in about 25 minutes later. After waiting 20 minutes we checked and we're third on the list. After an additional 15 minutes we found out we were bumped to 5 and it would be a two hour wait. When asking how we got bumped and why was their bi communication, staff was very defensive. They said the kitchen needed to "catch up." Restaurant was half seated at this point. A women left and told us her age her daughter have been waiting an hour for food. This is unacceptable. When will people learn the importance of honest and clear communication? read more

Get your team together here at this location. I am severely disappointed. Being quoted for 45 minutes and waiting over 75 minutes While seeing larger parties come into the restaurant and be seated before. Do better for your customers who are waiting and fix your host system read more

By far the Worst experience I've ever had dining. Over crowded, the table next to us had a child sitting on the end of the table and their chair was touching our table. We noticed one of the customers next to us in a party of 3 never got his food. The server wasn't ready to take our order when we were ready. After ordering we waited an hour for food. My wife's hash plate came out first and was cold. Took a while for the server to return. Then a different server comes with the side of Burnt Billion Dollar Bacon... then told me it's not burnt it's cooked well done ... lol Once the original server returned we notified her of the cold plate. Then we asked about my plate, server said she would check..... 10 mins later a hot plate of new hash came out... my food still nowhere to be found. Server said they would comp something.... 10 mins later I spoke with the manager who said they would make my food To go. Another 10 mins later some other lady comes to the table and says "everything is taken care of y'all can leave whenever". Very confusing, very disappointed. We will NOT be returning. read more

This place rarely disappoints, the menu is very broad and they have many vegetarian options. The in house juices are amazing. The orange/beet one has been my favorite. I love the farmhouse tacos, but the skillet hash or veggie melt is probably my favorite. They have the best home style potatoes in town. Last time I went I got the cheesy grits, really good too! The staff are friendly but the place is extremely busy and you can't make a reservation sometimes the waiter/ress can loose track of your table if they are overstated but it is worth the wait. They also have a little bit of outside seating. read more

Ohhhh Lauren, Lauren, Lauren. There once was waitress kind and cheery. Even though she wore a mask she was not dreary.

I usually hear good things about First Watch but I guess I picked the wrong day to try it out. My food was not good. The server we had was terrible. The only thing I can say is that the other servers were very friendly. I didn't like my food and the server did not care to ask me why or if I wanted anything else. read more
