We braved the Sunday brunch crowd, and now I completely understand why this place stays so busy. Even with a packed house, we grabbed seats at the bar and had a great experience from start to finish. The place is decked out with brunch esthetic and the bartender was friendly as can be. We started with a Million Dollar Bloody Mary and a Spiked Watermelon Wake-Up, both of which were made perfectly. For food, we ordered the Chipotle Steak & Queso Hash and the Power Wrap, and both were excellent. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and was served quickly despite how busy they were. If you've been debating whether the wait is worth it, I'd say yes. Great food, great drinks, and a staff that handled a busy Sunday brunch like pros. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Tried First Watch in Denton and honestly everything we ordered was . We started with strawberries and the Tres Leches French Toast -- perfectly cooked, soft, and just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. The lemon ricotta pancakes were super fluffy, and the lemon curd on top added a fresh, slightly tart twist that made them stand out. The steak chimichurri hash was packed with flavor -- bold, savory, and balanced with a subtle sweetness that tied everything together really well. And the barbacoa bowl? Easily a 10/10. Great flavor, great balance, and incredibly satisfying. Overall, every dish hit. Definitely a spot worth coming back to if you're in Denton. read more

Love this place. Food is amazing and service is fast and friendly! We felt bad for going in about 30 minutes from them closing but our server was so friendly about it! He was like no worries, I'm here for another hour. read more

Be prepared to wait if you come on a Sunday. It's best to join their wait list in advance. Our server Patrick was extremely nice and offered some good recommendations.The ambiances is nice and chic. The food was was good. I ordered the trifecta which consist of a Belgian waffle that was super light and fluffy, potatos (instead of eggs)and chicken apple sausage. Hubby got the traditional breakfast that consist of scrambled eggs with cheese, turkey sausage, potatos and wheat toast. We also got a side of buttered grits. We will definitely be coming back because it's worth the wait. read more

Ordered and picked up. Requested extra syrup for what I would already consider an overpriced waffle and got no syrup at all. So, here I am with this waffle, fruit and no syrup. I tried to eat it, it's tasteless. What a waste of money. Don't even try and call them, no one picks up. The phone rings until it drops. Overall bad experience. Would not recommend read more

Food was bad, drinks were bad, service was bad. Food came out wrong after taking 40 mins. Bloody Mary was aweful,

Put in a pick up order for First Watch for brunch today. The staff were friendly, helpful, the environment while I waited was lively and busy. It took me about 25 minutes to get home and the food was still hot when I arrived. We recommend the breakfast sandwich, the avocado was very good on that and the potatoes are delicious; The turkey gravy and biscuits is also delicious! Lastly, eat a waffle. Don't even think about it, just do it. SO good! You'll be happy you did. We will be eating here regularly! read more

Awesome service and food! Very friendly. Very well staffed. Multiple people check through our meal to make sure we had everything we needed. Can't wait to go back! read more

first watch is one of my favorite brunch places to go on a day where I don't have much else to do! I've been many times with friends, and I've been by myself on several occasions. The food is always good, the drinks are fantastic, and the service is incredible! As someone who loves breakfast food in brunch, this place I would highly highly recommend!! read more

arrived at 1:10pm and didn't get water until 1:30.... by 1:45 we still didn't have our food. excuse given short staff; however that isn't my problem as the customer. Left $$ for smoothie drink and left. last time I will try this restaurant. read more

I come to this location all the time. Food is always good. Had a rude interaction with an older red head woman. she didn't want to service me and had a rude demeanor. Standoffish read more

Food is top tier! I've gone a few times and it hits every time! Service is always friendly and on time. Sometimes there's a bit of a wait but ALWAYS worth it! read more

This was our first time going to FW. My wife had the Elevated Breakfast sandwich which she said was really good. I had the Barbacoa Chilaquilies Bowl which was good, but for the price it should have more than a teaspoon of meat. It was basically flavored with Barbacoa, and didn't include meat. I would not order it again. read more

All I can say is this place is FANTASTIC!!!!! The food was full of flavor, fresh, and definitely filling. Our server HOPE, made the visit even more special. Her personality (bubbly, friendly, and inviting) is a breath of fresh air in today's society. The rest of the staff was super friendly and helpful as well. It's going to be our go to stop when we come to Denton. read more

First Watch never misses! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The food came out quickly and was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I had the French toast--and WOW. Perfectly golden, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweetness. Easily my favorite dish on the menu! Their seasonal juices and coffee are also a must-try. The atmosphere is bright and relaxing--perfect for a casual brunch or catching up with friends. You can tell they take pride in what they serve and how they treat their guests. Definitely one of our go-to brunch spots. Highly recommend! read more

I had the best breakfast takeout of my life from here! The pecan carrot pancake was incredible and sugar - free syrup is such a convenient option. There was plenty of fresh crunchy carrots in the pancake and it was not too sweet. The eggs weren't over seasoned and you could tell the chicken sausage patty was high quality meat and very lean. read more

The hostess was so sweet, I complimented her nails and we talked for a few minutes just about nails. Girls being girls. Our waitress was so sweet and bubbly, really enjoyed her being our waitress. The drinks and food were amazing! As always. I love coming to First Watch, never disappoints. Wayyy better than Ihop. read more

We came in on a Wednesday morning and the front hosts staff was very confused. They were super friendly and nice, but very confused with table numbers. Quickly as we were waiting and the hosts were trying to figure it out, more people came in and there was a group around the door. Eventually we got sat and our server, Rachel, was very nice. She was a very good server! The food is so expensive. It's pretty healthy but there's no sides included. We ended up paying around 50 dollars just for a party of two. That being said we got the purple haze and morning something, but the purple haze was so good! Coffee was nice and warm. Super expensive, staff needs more training, but overall very friendly. read more

100% not worth the prices they have. Go to Dennys cheaper and way tastier! You're welcome!

Meh. Definitely not the best location. My breakfast tacos were lukewarm, & hardly had any protein on them. No water refill while we were there & the million dollar potato were very oniony & undercooked. I'll pass on coming back read more

Meh!! I was really excited to try this place and maybe my expectations were too high. I ordered the Chickichinga and it was completely cold, like the chicken was still refrigerator cold! Nothing on that chinga was warm. It had good flavor but I was so disappointed. The potatoes were OK. The wait staff was nice but, once our food went down, she only came back to bring the check. In my waitress days, you always check back soon after putting down the food. I may try this place again but, honestly, I'd rather eat at Seven Mile Cafe!! read more

Food not cooked as requested re/do was even worse. Service at counter not friendly nor efficient Though on positive side very clean and nice vibe and decor read more

Anything you order is good. We love breakfast there any day. Portions are large and service is good although can get busy, so be patient. Clean and cute decor. Restrooms are clean. read more

I ordered Eggs Benedict and they were served perfect. That is difficult to make with eggs just right and hollindaise sauce. The servers are terrific and check on you often looking from afar instead of asking questions while you are chewing. The restaurant is upscale and nice and clean. I highly recommend this restaurant. Funny note: when I first saw their sign I said to myself, I need to go there to get my watch batteries. read more

Tried First Watch for the first time this morning and we will definitely be back. Everything is so well-prepared and fresh. I had the artisan toast (multi grain) and the house preserves with the stone ground grits. Absolutely yummy! Eggs were fluffy and the Belgian waffle was delicious. Coffee and water carafes at the table are a big plus, also. read more

Truly great staff, Kristen took great care of us despite clearly having her hands full with plenty of other tables and an overwhelmed kitchen. The food was consistently great even on a busy day, and the chairs were incredibly comfortable. read more

Don't bring a large group here. They are easily overwhelmed. We ended up having people leave and not here over the issues of seating us. Food was okay, but we were already frustrated before the food came out. read more

Not a good place for putting in big orders they do not get sent in correctly and it is a huge waste of time waiting for them to get done. I wasted my time getting my order resubmitted and they didn't even get the specifications needed on the order. The food was burnt and was missing a few items. The discount wasn't even worth the hassle I went through just to get it fixed. However the manager and the host I spoke to were very kind and accommodating. read more

I want to thank your management and staff for quickly preparing an order of 14 breakfasts in a matter of minutes for me. I wanted to share this amazing food with co-workers and couldn't place the order online. They didn't hesitate a bit when I walked in and asked if they could do so. They were very gracious about accommodating my request! Amazing food along with an amazing staff! Highly recommended. Thank you! read more

We waited 45 min for our food which consisted of 1 sandwich and side of potato's. There were only 4 other customers in the restaurant. Imagine if the restaurant was full how much longer we would have to wait. I had to go ask why so long. The food came shortly but cold. No apologies or concessions for poor food and service. read more

Wow delicious food and hospitality. Tristan was an amazing host !! The atmosphere is very inviting.I highly recommend it.

The farmhouse skillet is amazing but service could use a little help. Waiter left dishes on the table way after we were done and was very hard to track down. After someone ran our food he did not come over and check if everything looked right and if we needed anything, we actually did because one oatmeal didn't come out and by the time it did it was cold. read more

Food and service were excellent as usual. My one complaint is that the restaurant has very little sound proofing and the music is played incredibly loud. We were yelling at our table to be able to hear each other. This made the dining experience very poor. read more

My wife and I decided to try the hot, new breakfast place in Denton, hopefully sometime in the future the food will actually be as good as the hype and the $50 price tag indicates. I ordered over easy eggs and very crisp bacon, a pretty basic request that should not be difficult for a restaurant that specializes in breakfast to fulfill. The eggs were over hard and the bacon actually flopped when I picked them up. My wife and I both agreed that there are many better breakfast options in the area. We won't bother to go back. read more
