There are lots of places to have breakfast/brunch/lunch in Dallas. Some are dives, some are drive thrus, some are fancy eclectic sit downs and then there are the chains. First Watch is a fancy chain with tight quality standards and training for the staff. The results is a tasty good meal each trip! It is easy to see and get into from NW HWY or Abrams. The parking is plentiful and there are some nearby stores to walk to, be it a 30 minute table wait or to walk off some of the calories after the meal. It is new with a bright modern kitchen interior. There are some outdoor seating on the East side, but I've never seen anyone out there as it is not much of a view. They can handle singles at the counter to large groups. On my last trip, the wait was about average during a Saturday mid-morning, 30 minutes. It gave us time to walk down to Academy and tour the shop before returning to a shorter wait. You see a wide variety of people if you are a people watcher. I ordered the BLT Benedict, Lemon Ricotta pancakes and enjoyed countless refills of a very refreshing unsweet iced tea and a plate of lemon slices as my food was prepared. When the entrée arrived, I was in heaven with some devilishly intoxicating flavors. I'm not normally a fan of arugula lettuce, but it with avocado cubes and Hollandaise sauce merged for a flavor that accented the eggs, tomatoes, bacon and toasted ciabatta bread. The whipped lemon Ricotta cheese and strawberries topped the gold browned pancakes quite nicely. The service wasn't good as it was painfully slow to get the food and even slower to pay and get on with my day. For the high price paid, it should have been faster service. read more

This was our first time at first watch and exceeded our expectations. The service is so nice they are so polite to their customers, they really make it feel comfortable to eat. The food was amazing and the restaurant was very clean. Will definitely be coming back. read more

The service is really good because the guys and the lady's are so nice. the food is really good and after you eat you should get the million dollar bacon it is really delicious. The decor is so beautiful and the lighting is nice as well. I would really recommend this place to eat for breakfast read more

Delicious always, busy but service is quick and staff is friendly. Food is fresh and alwAys hot.

I've visit first watch in Maryland but only ordered a drink so my visit in Texas I opted to try an entrée so now I think I'm able to write a review. Being seated is very quick and smooth. the service is prompt and friendly as well. In the Texas location I visit, they started serving alcohol. I got what tasted like a cinnamon cereal milk spiked coffee; extremely delicious! I ordered an egg sandwich with the greens and a side of potatoes. The potatoes were very delicious and well seasoned. The sandwich wasn't too memorable. I was hoping they had good ol steak and eggs honestly. If you're looking for a quick healthy breakfast, this is the place for you. read more

My family and I stay a weekend in Dallas(Richardson area). Saturday morning we were looking where to have breakfast. With a quick google search my husband found this location. We were kind of iffy at first because we never been to a "healthy breakfast" place. Man, I'm glad we gave a chance! My husband and I both got the traditional breakfast-delicious! While, my daughter got the A.M. Superfood bowl, it consist of, Chia seed pudding, with coconut milk and granola and berries with a side of toast topped with almond butter. We enjoyed it so much we went again Sunday morning! Service was decent, we did enjoy the service more on Saturday than Sunday. Ambience was nice, it's like a modern rustic I would say, but I don't know much about describing places ambiance lol Will definitely go back when in town again! read more

Food was delicious! Our server Diego was very kind and attentive. Will definitely go back!

Tbh this was kind of trash. Food: took 45 minutes, my friends and I were hangry! I got the classic breakfast 2 eggs bacon and a waffle. The waffle was pretty good but it was kind of cold?? My friends said they food was cold too. Sad. Service: our waiter was really nice but our water or coffee was never refilled and we weren't really checked on. I like our waiter though and it was really busy so I guess there's that. Atmosphere: really cute brunch place! But long lines. Overall probably won't come back to this location. The one in my hometown of College Station has similar issues. I'll be going elsewhere for brunch. read more

We went here for breakfast on Sunday, arriving early so it was not crowded. We were seated promptly and our order was taken after a short wait. Then the real waiting began. Although the restaurant had only 2-3 tables occupied, the food preparation took a very long time. A very, very long time. Food finally came, at which time we were told that the muffin of the day that we ordered for the toddler was not available. I am not sure why we were not informed immediately after the order was placed so we could substitute. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were not bad, but the gravy was horrible. I mean horrible, gross, disgusting. Don't they test recipes before putting them on the menu? Don't they taste test the gravy during preparation? The taste and flavor is simply unpleasant. One of the worst gravies I have ever had the displeasure to ingest. My eggs were not prepared the way I requested. So the only edible thing was the potatoes. AVOID THE GRAVY!!! My stomach staring hurting immediately and I felt ill for the rest of the morning. The wife's pancakes were ok but not as good as at the First Watch at Skillman and Walnut. We agreed that we will not be returning to this location. read more

First of all, the food was amazing when we tried the holy donuts it was like it just came out of the kitchen just because we had to wait for about like 30 minutes still, the food was like we were in heaven. The place was so nice. The workers were very, very nice about our patients and really nice from the food came out because it came out late. Overall place was really nice. No cockroaches coming in. read more

POORLY MANAGED. Management/ownership please wake up! Stop taking to-go orders IF your staff can't handle it. Friday at 10:30am there were 15 EMPTY TABLES (that's drastically more empty than occupied) and everyone walking in is being told there is a 20 min wait, because staff can't keep up with to-orders. This is not how you run a business that is open for dining. My review is not a reflection on the delicious food as I thoroughly enjoy the food here and have not had this experience in the past and the servers have always been good to me. read more

First Watch - EMPTY TABLES ALL AROUND BUT DUE TO TO-GO ORDERS WALK INS HAVE TO WAIT OVER 20 MINUTES - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Arrived on a Friday around noon and was able to walk in and get seated. So that was a plus. The waiter got us started on drinks - I know it may be the in thing, however I'm NOT a fan on room temp water and I politely asked for a glass of ice for my water (just letting you know now). A friend was treating me to lunch and highly suggested this place. She raved about the million dollar bacon and told me how everything is delicious and you can't go wrong. She went with the avocado toast and I got the bacodo and cheese grits (which I asked a million questions about because all grits are NOT equal) with a side of butter. Our food came out rather quick and I must say, everything was delicious!! I don't know what they are putting on the mixed green salad, but bottle it up and send me home with it. It was light yet tasty and I'd probably eat more salads. The grits were okay - I could of shared it with everything else I had going on. The inlet was delicious - I didn't realize it would have avocado stuffed on the inside but it was a yummy surprise. And I've never had sour cream on my omelet but I'll be adding that now!!! The strawberry jelly was a nice touch to round out the sweetness I don't usually have (being diabetic). The bacon has a sweet savory going on with a kick of heat at the end. It's good but one slice was enough for me. Overall I enjoyed my meal here, only issue (if I had to call it that) is they kept trying to take plates off the table before I was done. I sorta felt rushed and politely told the waiter to please refrain from touching my plate as I'll let him know when I'm finished. A bit pricey but a nice meal. read more

This particular location excels at both good and service (some of the others lack in service). Especially AJ; he's the best! His recommendations are good and it's always service with a smile. We return because of him. read more

the service was amazing! I loved it so much and the food was deserving of 5 stars! I thought that the environment was amazing and had good people working there. I honestly thought that this place was very nice and I'm happy to go here again when I can! The server that I had was Ashley and she was a sweetheart and was very straight forward and nice to us which I appreciate. Hope this place becomes a top restaurant one day. read more

Service was amazing it was our first time coming to this place. But.. the food was mediocre. The egg portion was small that you could fit it in your hand and the French toast was a little undercooked. It was kind of dough. They only gave you one sausage that came with a huge pancake and then one of their summer time caramel drinks tasted like alcohol even though I know it didn't have that it just didn't taste, right, my husband drink he had to add so much creamer into it. It taste OK overall I did enjoy it but the food just wasn't it for me. I think if you're going to be charging 50 something dollars for two people make the portions reasonable. read more

Great breakfast choices and the food is fresh, hot and delicious. The service is good.

Food one point, fresh and delicious. Yep not the cheapest but worth the taste and try

Gave first watch another try at the Abrams Ave location. Unfortunately not my top pick for breakfast or brunch. Service slow even though not busy seemed to be a lot staff socializing going on. I ordered the pumpkin pancake breakfast with scrambled eggs and sausage. Tiki hubby had biscuit and gravy breakfast we both asked for cheese on scrambled eggs. The eggs were light fluffy and cooked perfectly. A 5 not given for the poor slow service. Pumpkin pancake was delicious moist and flavorful. The 3 rating is for the lack of attention and our breakfast turning into an hour and half waiting on service. read more

The food is fresh and delicious! I've had breakfast here numerous times and their artisan bread is good, the eggs are always scrambled correctly and still steaming as they put your plate on the table! The service is excellent, as well the waitstaff always shows up with a smile. The atmosphere is great! It's such an upgrade for a breakfast spot. They will not disappoint read more

Great place for brunch! We arrived at around noon and place was pretty packed. We walked in and didn't know you could reserve a spot and checkin online. Wait was short and we were seated outside! Absolutely LOVED the kale drink with the immunity boost. As someone who suffers from gastritis the food was gentle on my stomach and the gluten free toast was great. Will definitely be back! read more

This place is an overpriced McDonalds. I got a sandwich with "eggs Benedict." The egg was really hard. Oh...it was an "open-faced" sandwich. The potatoes were really salty. All of it seemed like microwave food. I feel bad for 2 reasons: 1). I've eaten at this place twice before, so I should have known better; 2.) There is a McDonald's right across the street from my apartment complex read more

First Watch - First Watch on NW Highway. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The ambiance very nice, morning breakfast crowd. I glad I arrive at a time where I could be seated. Typically when I have driven by there is a line out the door. The service was really quick we were promptly greeted by our wait staff. To me you can't go wrong with breakfast. Actually you're talking to someone who can have breakfast anytime of the day. The only missteps were I asked for the eggs medium came out a little more cooked than I like them and my cousin asked for a sprite it never came, but of course we asked that it be removed from the bill. Over all it was a good experience and I would go back! read more

I was in this part of town this day and decided to drop in based on the reviews on Yelp. I am an Eggs Benedict addict and ordered the BLT Benedict. When I ordered it, I was anxiously waiting for the egg to be poached perfectly so the silky yolk would flow over the dish. As you can tell from the pictures, I was sadly disappointed as the eggs were severely overcooked. If you are a looking for a consistently amazing Benedict Snooze AM Eatery has not let me down!! read more

So glad we decided to give First Watch a second chance! The food has always been good but this location knows how to do customer service! Melanie was great in taking care of us.

First time here. Excited to try something different. Saw the sign at entrance on babacoa eggs benedict so that's what I ordered. Black beans were cold, food smothered with hollandaise sauce. The saving grace of this visit was our server she was amazing! And the hostess also. You check out my plate compared to the photo. Can this be considered false advertising. read more

The food is amazing they never miss I have tried almost everything on the menu . And my favorite is theParma skillet hash with scrambled eggs. The service is always the best you might have to wait to be seated but they come pretty fast once you are seated . The ambiance is like a farm house kind of vibe low lighting they do have outside seating . I tried the cinnamon cereal milk with iced coffee . It was so sweet and tasted just like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal . read more

I really like First Watch when they were coming into the neighborhood and area and they did not have a whole lot of stores. They were a novelty that was unrivaled by most of the breakfast / lunch competition. They were also tightly managed and seem to really care about making an impression in the area. As they have grown and put location sometimes about a only a mile apart from each other something in their novelty has seemed to have gotten lost. Don't get me wrong most of them still have great service put the food seems to be taking the hardest hit. It is usually just okay now. I honestly think that there is some Back to Basics that this rapidly expanding chain needs to get back to. They are so set in growth mode that I fear it will ultimately damage their reputation if they do not rein it in a little bit tighter than they are doing so. And I think most of that reigning in needs to take place in the management ranks. read more
