    Berry French toast
    Jensen H.

    Overall: 7/10 First Watch used to be one of my favorite go-to breakfast spots--especially because of their healthier variety and great seasonal options. I've always loved how clean, bright, and modern the place feels. The staff is consistently kind and attentive, and even when it's busy (which it often is!), they keep things running smoothly. That said... I was really disappointed on my recent visit. One of my absolute favorite breakfast treats--the French toast--has changed. They used to serve it on a delicious brioche bread that was the perfect balance of fluffy and sweet. Now, they've switched to a new bread that soaks up the egg batter so much it tastes like I'm just eating eggs. It was overly eggy and just not enjoyable at all. To be fair, the staff was wonderful about it and even brought me out a second one, but the manager kindly explained that it's actually a new recipe and this is just how they make it now. It's a bummer because I only ever eat French toast when I'm out for breakfast, and this was the spot for it. They still have solid sandwiches and other good options, so don't let this stop you from checking them out--but if you're craving classic-style French toast, you might want to pick something else off the menu. Would I come back? Maybe. But definitely not for the French toast. Key positives: Clean, nice staff, fresh modern vibes. Main drawback: French toast recipe change = big letdown.

    The food tasted a little funky, like one of the ingredients was freezer burnt. The service was good until they brought the check then they disappeared. It was very loud. They have a good variety on the menu but I think it is overpriced.

    Always a delicious visit. Greeted when you walk in and seated immediately. Waitress gave us a pot of coffee and took our order. Food was delicious as always. Price is right as well. Looking forward to the new location closer to our home soon.

    The food and service here was pretty excellent. I enjoyed the taste of everything I had. My omelette was great and I loved the little donut balls they had. The servers were very friendly and the facility was clean. I'd come here again. You should check it out.

    Once we got our food it was delicious. We have eaten at other First Watch and had way better service. The server had a personal issue and disappeared which wouldn't have been so bad except he didn't turn in our order. So 35 min later we got the food. So food was good and service not

    We were in the area we were ready for a healthy brunch . We really liked their menu , lots of healthy ingredients other places ignore to use in their menu . Like use cage free eggs , fresh house organic greens , house baked artisan breads, house made dressing, love their teas, I had the blackberry tea was great . A must try is the morning meditation drink , It had ginger ,turmeric ,beets juice it was amazing . They do vegan , gluten free all fresh local farmed ingredients. I had the vacado omelette with a side of fruit . My wife had the pesto chicken quinoa bowl it was delicious . Plenty of seating .This place must be popular cause the place was packed ,The food service is great our server was great . The only down side it was a bit noise for me thought. But I would like to come back and try some more items on their menu ..

    First watch is so good! This is my second time visiting but not the same location. The food just melts in your mouth with an incredible amount of flavor. The hostess and waitress were so kind. They were there to give you a nice experience. The setup of the restaurant is really cool too! I liked that they seem to use reclaimed items for some decor. Also they have one of my favorite black teas ever! So good!

    The Traditional Breakfast

    This is a late post. I went for breakfast & there was a wait. We didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes for a table. I ordered The traditional breakfast. The whole grain artisan toast was delicious. I was happy that they had a non pork meat option. The chicken sausage was delicious. They give you a good amount of food.

    Floridian French Toast topped with fresh fruit
    Jack B.

    Jillian perfectly served delicious breakfast that included thick cut brioche bread topped with banana, strawberry and kiwi. The fruit was some of the best we've had in a while. The works omelette was filled with ham,bacon, sausage, crimini mushrooms and cheese and is a favorite. First Watch continues to deliver great food and service.

    Always enjoy First Watch but the added bonus of Daytona International Speedway being across the street made this brunch spot unique!

    Decided to try First Watch in Ormond Beach. Service was good. I had the chicken chopped salad and its enough for 2. Delicious. Avocado, tomato, chicken arugula . Ill be back for sure.

    Long time Ale House fan. Lived 20 years in Jupiter so very familiar with Ale House…read more I have been in the Daytona area for about 5 years now and frequented the prior location on International Speedway and the newer location on LPGA. For some reason the food and service seemed better at the previous location. I haven't been impressed recently and haven't been going as frequently. This last visit was worse than normal. I get sat at around 7:30 at a table and then no service for 10 minutes. It's not extremely busy and there seems to be plenty of staff. My waiter finally approached and greets me very weirdly. Not friendly at all. I give him my drink and food order and off he goes. 5 minutes later he comes back and says we are out of salmon. The interaction is once again odd. I just figure at this point I'm just going to go down the street. Not sure what's going on at this location.

    It's really crowded over here by the outlets, bucc-ees and Sam's club but the millers is always a…read moregood choice when you need a lot of options and want to make everyone happy. I tried their new Orlando inspired dish (Mimi's fiesta bowl) which was like a burrito bowl. The one downside is that it was meant to come with two different sauces and mine came with neither. The only reason I noticed was because a friend at the table also ordered it and hers came with the sauce. Her order was delayed (not the restaurants fault) so by the time I realized I had eaten 3/4 of mine. It also felt small for the plate. I didn't leave hungry but it didn't feel like it was as large as a typical meal would have been. Our server was really nice and accommodating.

    An experience so nice, we went twice!…read more We discovered this lovely gem on a recent stay in Daytona Beach. Our first night in town, we seemed to be striking out on restaurants that offered more than one or two items gluten free. That is, until I found the menu online for mama foo foo. I can say with confidence that Mama Foo Foo knows how to do gluten free food the right way. Our first visit was for dinner, and the ambiance was on point. Perfectly lit, short wait, cool art, and great music. The waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten free options, and even offered alternatives when she discovered that they were out of gluten free crackers for the burrata and fig. My dinner, the honey glazed scallops with lobster risotto and grilled carrots, was prepared perfectly. The staff was attentive, refilling drinks and water and checking in regularly. Price was very reasonable for the quality of food. A solid five star visit. It was so good in fact that we came back a few days later for brunch to enjoy their signature wagyu smash burger. I opted for the breakfast version (fried egg, avocado and tomato relish toppings) while my husband went with the more traditional lunch version. Again, the waiter was attentive and immediately knew to advise me that the fries were dusted with flour and offered alternatives. The grapefruit dressing on the salad was delish! Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu the next time we are in town.

    it wasn't good but it was edible. * Pasta dish 1/5…read more * Cheese bread bites 1/5 * Carrot cake 3/5 Everything was bland and tasteless. The pasta is something a kid would like. Kinda like preggo. Same with the cheesy bread. It was really disappointing for the price. Also the pasta came out cold and they were really nice and apologized.
