I love breakfast places and First Watch is one of the best. I ordered the Classic which includes two cage-free eggs, choice of protein, and multi-grain toast. I asked for tomato slices instead of the potatoes which they easily accommodated. I'm an iced tea fan and theirs is delicious. They even have Stevia. Pleasant music playing. read more

I love First Watch as a chain but this one was disappointing. I arrived during the Mother's Day rush and knew there would be a wait but the two hostess' at the door were disappointing and made this experience very frustrating. We were told 3 times after having already waited for 40 minutes that it would be another 15. The hostesses never spoke to me directly but tried to address my son. Annoying. Then after telling us for the third time it would be another 15 mins, my mother pushed back and asked about the numerous tables that had been cleared and had parties of the same size or smaller sit there, some BS line about giving bigger parties priority was the response but we had already been there an hour at this point. A party of 2 was seated 15 mins before and they arrived after us. A party of 4 was seated 10 mins before and they arrived after us. Our party was 3 and I had a toddler with me that was obviously getting restless. My suggestion. Customer service needs to improve and as a rule, if the party has been waiting an hour, they get seated. No matter what. Do better guys ‍ read more

First watches are hit or miss. What I liked about this one was I was actually able to get a drink from the bar. The service was good and the food was tasty. read more

Fantastic brunch spot! As always, First Watch cooked up some great food. The large chocolate chip pancake was tasty, and the million-dollar potatoes were a great side that included some candied bacon with the potatoes. Service was quick but make sure to get on the waitlist beforehand. read more

This is our go to family brunch spot. Menu has broad range of choice including healthy options. Never had a bad meal there. My family loves the Eggs Benedict, pancakes, power bowls, million dollar bacon, and multigrain toast (yes...toast). Service is almost always fast and friendly. Weekends are busy but it's never too loud. read more

It started bad. But the manager (Ms.Alexa) came and took very good care of order. Such a pleasant person! First Watch is lucky too have her!! I really appreciate her customer service! Thank you thank you!! She made first watch look good! read more

Early breakfast order - great service - friendly, nice and helpful on menu items as my partner first visit - lots of questions and nicely answered. Good hot pot of coffee - nice creamers left at table along with fresh water glasses. Omelette order of ham and cheese - changed greens to cheese grits - wonderful choice - crusty harvest bread tasty; second one was all meat substituting greens for grits also - another good choice - so much food I brought home a 'go box' half the omelette and my daughter ate the grits loving them. Clean restaurant inside and offered outdoor seating which would be fun weather permitting. Easy convenient parking at door. read more

Tasty options from healthy to hearty to sweet. Fresh juices, too. You can get in the waitlist before going. I wish they had more coffee options. read more

Every time we have been to this location the service and food have been exceptional. Perfect ambience for a calm sat/sun morning breakfast. The food is always hot upon arrival, the staff works as a team. Very rare in the restaurant industry these days. The staff was always moving and not looking at their cell phones in the corner. Teneza A the OM made contact with our table due to food allergies. Offered a great suggestion to prevent an allergic reaction. Devon our waiter made sure our needs were met but was not over hovering! We'll be back of course. Consistently the service and food get better read more

They have a healthy and delicious menu! The Staff is great too. Save a place in line on Yelp.

Constantly busy during breakfast hours but wait times are short. There's shared seating if you're solo or in a rush. Breakfast selection is decent, fancier and priced higher than traditional greasy spoon places. Good beverage menu. read more

I'm not a breakfast/brunch girl however, my friends wanted to have brunch here. We had a 20 min wait but it's Easter so no issues. I ordered the Tri-Fecta that came with eggs, sub/biscuit, potatoes, and bacon. First off they give you a lot of food. I didn't come close to finishing. Everything was fresh and definitely homemade. I wish my biscuit was fluffy instead of toasted but other than that I have zero complaints. Really nice breakfast/brunch spot. read more

I love first watch the food is always fresh and served with great hospitality. The ambience as well as the prices are very commendable for the service that you receive it's quaint, and very relaxing. Such an enjoyable experience. read more

Disappointing to say the least. I've been to First Watch in Sarasota, Florida and loved it. When they started opening the restaurants here in Dallas, I was very excited! I ordered the Trifecta, eggs over easy, Belgian waffle with strawberries, pork sausage link. When I cut one egg it was fine. The other egg was so runny I had to take my paper napkin and fence off the watery run off, so my waffle wouldn't soak it up. I ate only part of one egg. The waffle was soft and tasteless. For almost $20 this was an expensive and very disappointing breakfast. Will not return. PS: while I was waiting for my check, another patron, setting behind me had issues with her breakfast also. Not a good sign read more

First Watch - Proof of purchase! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This yummy place is only open until 2:00 so the menu is breakfast item heavy. We've eaten at several locations so this time I decided to try something I hadn't yet It was chilly outside so something warm sounded comforting. I chose The Works omelette. Delicious flavor and ample portion. Comes with a lightly dressed spring mix salad and their really great whole grain artisan bread toasted. This location is a little loud and not very cozy. The open kitchen makes a lot of ruckus in a big glass enclosed room full of hard surfaces It is not a place for intimate conversation but it is tasty Service was good and I enjoyed the water bottle and coffee pot left on the table. read more

First Watch - The Works Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

One of the best breakfast spots in all of Dallas. Fresh ingredients you can actually taste in every bite. The service is great but pro tip is to get on their waitlist online before arriving. read more

Food used to be delicious. It's now tasteless for some reason, so no longer worth the higher price.

Michelle provides wonderful service I would recommend asking her to be your waitress if you choose this location. She is always on point, polite, and perfect if you come in with a group. The food is always well prepared along with a good atmosphere for family and well worth your time before wasting it at some major chain. read more

I've only eaten at the location in Richardson. I had great service, good food with many choices, nice atmosphere very clean.

I dont tend to review chains but I had a great experience here today! Pretty much I never come here unless my friends want to, as I've always been disappointed at all the locations I've been too. Service is usually slow, food has been cold and not that good, not worth any wait. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at this location! My service was excellent! Everyone was very friendly and my food and coffee came out very quickly. The carnitas breakfast burrito was HUGE and really tasty! I hope it makes its way to the regular menu since it's a seasonal option. If my friends want First Watch again, I'll for sure suggest this location. Definitely the best run First Watch I've been to! read more

First Watch - Morning Meditation and Watermelon Wake Up - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We waited a little over 50 minutes for a table for 8 on a Sunday morning which is why I give 4 starts because we waited longer than we were told we were going to. I wouldn't recommend coming here for Sunday brunch it's just too busy. There are other first watch locations so definitely call before going on the weekend and ask abput wait times. Regardless the food was delicious as usual. I've been to many first watch locations in DFW and this one had to be the nicest! The portions of the food were perfect and all of us including the kids ate everything! The morning glory drink was my favorite I felt so refreshed because of the ginger, beet and turmeric in it. Overall the food was amazing! I will surely be back! read more

The place opened not along ago and so the kinks are still being worked out. The emphasis is on nutritious food and organic ingredients. Our brunch experience was ok but not outstanding. That said, I am willing to give them another chance. We arrived on a Saturday about 10:30 am and there was a long wait list but it moved pretty quickly. I would say we were seated in just under 30 minutes. The wait for the food, however, was interminable. We waited a really, really long time. Probably another 30 minutes. The food was just average. My turkey burger was ok but nothing special. The tomato basil soup was "pretty good," exactly what the waitress said. The star of the meal was the wife's banana pancake. Not only was it huge, it was light, fluffy, and very flavorful. Not at all dry. Her eggs, requested sunny side up, were not cooked properly and were not sunny side up. Her bacon came out crispy as requested. There was an obvious error on the bill that was corrected but should not have happened. The burger comes with an option for soup which I chose but I was charged separately for a bowl. These are the sorts of things that will get corrected as experience kicks in. The restaurant is really loud, actually hard to have a conversation. Outdoor seating on a nice day is a plus, but not a whole lot of tables. The ambience is modern, upscale, and casual. The popularity of this place reflects the pent up demand for breakfast and brunch places in Lake Highlands. I would note that the bill was reasonable--$35 for an adult breakfast, an adult lunch, and a kid's meal. That's about 1/2 what it costs at Cedar Vine down the street. We'll give First Watch another chance. read more

The breakfast tacos were phenomenal and I appreciate First Watch's focus on healthy, unprocessed food. In addition, our waitress, Ms. Jasmine, delivered exceptional service. She was very pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend anyone to this First Watch. read more

The service and food was fantastic! I got the Carne Asada Hash but instead of hash I got quinoa. Very healthy and feel refreshed. Thank you Jasmine! read more

Came here because snooze was packed with a 2 hour wait . I'm not sure what I expected but it tasted regular . Not sure how to explain the taste like something I can make at home . Truth the food was good. Prices range from 10-22 depending on what you get. Standard portion sizes. Give it a try maybe it's your fav! read more

First time visiting First Watch. We were quickly greeted by a friendly hostess, and waited 15 minutes for a table, just as advised. The location could use a good cleaning (see pics). , and our table was not cleaned well, dirty napkins and crayons were under the table. We had eggs and waffle, biscuits and gravy and the million dollar bacon (more like $10 bacon, I didn't get the hype) Per the other reviews, the food was ok, but not bad. We will try it again, the tacos on another table looked amazing Quickly greeted Dirty under the table napkins and crayons read more

Great breakfast and brunch food. Also, very friendly staff. Love coming here on Sundays with the family.

Also, what is gyatt because people keep on telling me that. But that is not the case but the food was good but bad service!! So rude! but the food is so ambiance but I don't like this place at all.! Bad service. read more

Overall, it was just an average/okay experience. The food won't disappoint, but if you're looking for a brunch spot with the girls, this might not be the place. I would come back again, but there's plenty other places in the area I like more. Pros: I thought the breakfast was pretty good! It came out quickly, the way we ordered it, and everything tasted fresh. Although I would come back for the food, it wasn't anything that other brunch places don't offer. Cons: The atmosphere- it was loud (sound seems to echo in the room) and the seating/tables are close so it was hard to hear what my friend was saying. I'll probably come back when it's cooler and sit on the patio instead. The service- We never got a chance to try any of their adult beverages because #1: the server said they have a rule they can't bring your drinks until your food arrives....lame. #2: The server forgot to put in our drinks after our food came out. She didn't come back until we were already mostly done with our food so we canceled our drinks. Part of going there was to enjoy an adult brunch with drinks! Also, when our server finally brought us our checks, she didn't tell us that we're supposed to check out at the front, so we sat there for another 20 minutes until she came back and told us to go to the front. It was our first time there, and we didn't know. It just collectively made the entire experience just okay. read more

This First Watch having only 3 stars shocks me because quite frankly this location gets something some of their other stores seem to have lost, that is Customer Service. One thing First Watch appears to be consistent on is the back end of the house as their food is always good. Service, or the front end of the house, is something they are at best inconsistent at. Some have great; some average, and some pretty bad. Unfortunately my last few experiences at the location I usually visit have been in the really bad category. This location though has redeemed my faith in the chain. read more

We had some together time on a mid Saturday morning and yelped for coffee suggestions and this place was near and looked inviting The brunch crowd was thinning (10:00 AM). So we waited not more than two minutes for a table to open. Server was friendly and accurate. Table, floors, windows restrooms and register area were all clean. Coffee was very good. The menu had plenty of choices for all dietary preferences. We ordered plain bacon as a side and Eggs Benedict Florentine with fruit subbed foot the fresh greens. The food was very good I return to commenting on their Sunrise Coffee, nevertheless. It's ten out of ten when hot, my so much, just like any other, once it cools. They leave an urn on the table so you can keep it hot. They sell their grind, but they were out. Waaaa. Lucky for us, they packaged two store bags for us to purchase. read more

It's a shame that a business promotes healthy foods that care so little about allergies or celiac disease. My husband is celiac and we were told as long as we substitute bread with GF bread everything should be safe. Now he can't get out of bed feeling so bad. On the other hand I got diarrhea. We have been dining out and we never had problems at other places. This actually was the second time he got gluten at a First watch. First time was at a different location. We will never go to any First Watch EVER AGAIN. read more
