I personally love this place. I have visited other locations. One thing I hate is waiting. The restaurant opens at 7am. Maybe that time should change in order to get the preparation done first. My order was supposed to be ready by 7 15am (pre ordered since the previous day), didn't leave the restaurant with my food until 7 25am. So I recommend if you are in a hurry and expect your order to be one time, maybe do not choose this place unless you have time to wait. read more

Our food arrived cold. The waitress, although friendly, was MIA most of the time. The potatoes were undercooked and man, I love potatoes :(

Go to literally any other location. The one right up the road. This one is so awful. Everybody in my 5ppl party had at least one problem. Service slow and unresponsive. food tastes like the cook doesn't know what salt is read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon at 2, and the place was packed. After a few minute wait, we were seated in a comfy booth and greeted by a bright, chipper waitress. We got the mixed orange juice (carrot, orange, and a few more), cobb salad, ricotta lemon pancakes, sides of bacon and eggs, and each and every thing we ordered was freshly prepared and delicious. Service was prompt, attentive, and cheerful, tough to do when the kitchen is backed up a bit with a late lunch rush slam. The space was open, comfy, bright, and well cooled (it was HOT outside), which puts it in the top 10% of Dallas eateries in the middle of the summer. We will be back here very soon to enjoy the reasonably priced delicious fare and pleasant cool surroundings, very highly recommended by this Yelper. read more

This is a late review and I cannot even remember what I ordered. I think it was some sort of egg sandwich and the farm house. Egg sandwich was okay. Nothing memorable here. The farm house was also okay and came with a lot of potatoes. Interestingly, they don't give you a print out of your receipt after payment. I thought that was weird but whatever. Server was nice and quick. read more

Service was very slow to the point where our food was cold, the Eggs Benedict where not poached but almost entirely boiled, the pancake was burnt outside. Our waitress was nice though and ended up apologizing and giving us a discount even when it was not her fault. read more

Food consistently tasty with lots of variety from diner breakfast favorites to some healthier non-traditional options. Service always friendly and usually pretty fast with a rare slow experience over the many times I've been there. Ambiance is sunny and clean and noise manageable even when crowded. It's our regular family joint. read more

My friends and I came to First Watch yesterday and it was just okay. We were able to get a booth made me feel as though we were tucked away. The place was packed when we got in, but our server was friendly and attentive nonetheless. The place has a casual fast diner feel to it which can be cozy, and the menu items were fairly affordable. I ordered the veggie sandwich, a juice (the one with beet in it), and decaf coffee with honey. The food was 'okay.' I thought it could have used a bit more flavor, and maybe an add on plant protein, while the drink was uniquely flavorful. Overall, I enjoyed the experience because of the service, and, while this wouldn't be my first choice because of the menu offerings, I am glad that I got to try a new brunch place out. read more

First timer and will be back. Loved the ambiance and the food was great! the service was quick and delightful

Million dollar bacon is really really really good. I mean, we know bacon is always good. You cannot mess up bacon. But they have found a way to improve it by adding sweet brown sugar goo. You should go for that alone. I had the oatmeal, which sounds bland, but isn't once they are done with it. And it comes with a big ol' muffin and some fruit. My friend had the Chickichanga, and said it was top notch. The prices are steep. The portions are not large. There's plenty of parking. Service was good. They have booze, which is important to us brunch skunks. read more

First Time Waitlist Fast pace then slowed way down. Food progressive Fran to table. Back bar all Gallo product. Fresh juice good. Food came out cold. Ham says smoked it was not. Pork links over salted no flavorful. Waffle good. Have to ask for cream for coffee. Had to ask for butter for waffle. Biscuit with turkey gravy was good - tasted like thanksgiving. Coffee was PROJECT SUNRISE. Udi bread selection. Evidently a lot of SNOOZE staff has come over to First Watch. 3 locations. Manager came by apologized for hiccups and took care of the issues. We will try again on another day. read more

First Watch - Traditional breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

After the initial excitement of having a new brunch place in Lake Highlands, this is no longer one of my favorite places. Pluses: limited outdoor seating that faces parking lot, super friendly and attentive staff, bright and clean eating area, and wait list seems to move pretty quickly. Minuses: inflated post-Covid prices (like everywhere else) and lack of simple breakfast plates. The menu was made to be fancy to justfy the prices. For example, the side of bacon is greasy, chewy and over-seasoned. They have a seasonal menu but to me the food is still bland. The sandwiches, which go by fancy names, don't have a special taste. I'm not a health nut, so maybe there are folks that go for the healthy-sounding fancy menu items. The past couple of times, I suffered from sticker shock because the food was not worth what I paid. read more

The restaurant was very busy on a Saturday morning but ever was nice. The food was tasty and service was good.

Really disappointed in First Watch... this is not how I remember it from my last visit a couple of years back... skillet hash is not crispy at all, salty, mushy... honestly, it feels like it's re-heated from frozen in a microwave. ‍ definitely not "fresh" as they claim... coffee is weak... really disappointed. I don't think we are coming back overrated. read more

Such a great experience. This was our first time there. Food, service and atmosphere were amazing.

The ambience is really sexy but the food is what's to die for. All the chicken dishes are great but I love their sides so much I could make a meal out of just those. Service was great too. No downside here. read more

Great menu, delicious food, great coffee, attentive servers, clean, bright and cheery atmosphere. Conducive to having a very enjoyable visit with friends. read more

Service was bad.. food was worse.. don't waste your time or money. We left after 1 bite.. yuck! And they charged even after noticing we ate none of it . This place is gross and mismanaged. read more

Really good brunch. Waitress was very sweet although they were very busy. Patio area was cute

11-16-20 9am I was in Dallas Texas on business and First Watch Café' was recommended by Paul as great place to have a healthy breakfast. Upon walking the restaurant was not crowded just a few tables. Our greeter was also our server, Melanie. She made every effort to make us feel welcomed. After taking our drink order and some menu suggestions, Melanie took our order, we ordered the Avocado Toast, whole grain toast, toasted crisp, topped with fresh smashed avocado, seasoned and a side dish of 2 poached eggs. Avocado was creamy and fresh tasting, the poached eggs just ok, misshaped, over done, seem to be a struggle, untrained. Also ordered the Power Wrap, with egg whites, turkey, spinach , mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes. This was d'lish! light, very tasty, crisp and healthy. Lastly, we ordered the house specialty, The Classic Eggs Benedict, the experience went down hill from here quickly. Melanie, brought the dish out, I noticed the hollandaise was broken and almost clear, no color and a very sour taste. The poached eggs were grossly malformed missing most of the egg white. I was able to get Melanie's attention, I asked her, is this what the dish is supposed to look like, after a long pause, she said yes. She then very nicely removed the plate. I then ordered two soft scrambled eggs, after waiting for some time, Melanie brought my soft scrambled eggs. The eggs were not soft scrambled, it was a chopped up loosely fried egg. An additional thought, surprisingly, I never saw a manager, nor did they ever come by the table. Not a great experience for a first timer, perhaps I will revisit again. Would not recommend this location! Chef Ron Lopez read more

I've been here 5 or 6 times now. I go here over other breakfast options for perceived healthier options. Service is always good but the food is just ok. Today's barbacoa bowl was so disappointing. It was more like wet nachos. There was so little barbacoa in there that it wouldn't have filled the little jelly dish. The pile of soggy chips made up over half the dish. It would also be in keeping with the healthier options to have real cream - not shelf stable International Delight plastic single serve containers on the table. read more

Venue was packed but everything moved quickly and efficiently. Food was great but my man, Rodolfo, made my experience 100000x better! The staff were all so respectful and Rodolfo was especially helpful and kind. read more

First time coming here. Highly recommend. We came to the nail salon a few businesses down. Came straight here to eat. Food was awesome waiters were friendly. Lady at the front didn't speak much but overall experience was awesome. May i also say the food came out in less than 7 minutes. Coffee is strong just how i like it. I dont feel bloated at all feel like i have so much energy from eating something so good. read more

I love first watch but they seem to be loosing their greatness. Service is slipping and food quality is going downhill.

Okay, this may be my next go to breakfast spot if I have a bit of money to burn. The food here was excellent. Our server was friendly as well. The fruit was nice and fresh, and the raspberry(?) syrup was perfect to go along with the french toast. My mouth still waters just thinking about it. Will be back! read more

Good breakfast place, not the first choice. But it fills the void on a Saturday morning.

I was almost turned off by the rating, but then I saw it was all from nit picky people complaining about bs. So glad I ignored them. I got the meal delivered so that did effect me, but everything was perfect. I got the power wrap, cheese grits, and purple haze. Grits were think and perfect, power wrap had the best flavor, and the purple haze was delicious! I am again, so happy I skipped those reviews. I will definitely pay them a visit soon. Thanks for making breakfast worth eating out, I am about to try the whole menu! read more
