We love a great breakfast and have eaten at First Watch in Austin and in Overland Park and they were both great. This one was no exception. It seemed to have an even better breakfast selection than the other two. I had the Parma hash and million dollar bacon, my wife had the eggs benedict and the lemon muffin. Everything was really good along with the exceptional service. These places are our new favorite breakfast stops. read more

My wife and I first discovered First Watch in Tampa while visiting family. We were delighted to find out that there was one in Destin which is only a few minutes away from us. The million dollar bacon is finger licking good. On this visit, I had the Haceinda Hash with pouched eggs and my wife had the breakfast wrap. The food was fresh and tasted fabulous. Our waiter, Jesse, was friendly and very professional. Additional, they do a military discount, so bonus points. This won't be our last visit and we highly recommend you check it out.

Ok, after leaving a 1 review they contacted me, offered us a free meal, and we went back. This time we was seated right away. The service was great, and the breakfast choices was fantastic. My sister in law chose soup and a sandwich, the soup (Italian wedding) was so salty that she couldn't eat it but she got it replaced with a salad. Still not on my top 10 list, but if you want try some different breakfast I would recommend a visit. read more

I didn't think anyone could screw up a pancake until I had one at First Watch Instead of buttermilk they call it multigrain I has no taste. The Maple syrup is $3 extra and come in a one ounce bottle unheated and is watered down. Side of potato's looks good but only half were cooked the other half uncooked. Coffee was good but at $25 this place will not last. read more

Love love love!! I love that they have the calories for all of the menu options. The food was amazing! A great amount of options. So tasty. Highly recommend! I wish they had one of these where I live. read more

First Watch - Triathlete omelet - Cafes Near Me - Destin, Florida

Exciting at first look at the menu. Many novel offerings. But basic quality of preparation falls short of menu presentation. For example, home fries are chronically undercooked and dry. Coffee is good. Service mediocre. I've been here 4 times. read more

Love the quality of food and prices! Benedicts anf Omelettes are fresh and juicy, very good price fir what you get! Always again! read more

Ahh this was was soo yummy. Super cute decor and delicious plates. My French toast was on point and so was the avocado toast. I'd come back here again. read more

Excellent basics. Eggs, toast, bacon, potatoes, coffee, and tea. Gluten free toast was the main reason we ate here, but the whole experience was so pleasant we came back two days later. Definitely recommended! read more

We chose this place on our way to PCP Airport to eat breakfast. They got us right in. Staff was very friendly and service was superb. Food was a tad slow, so not somewhere you'd want to eat in a rush. I loved that they gave us a thermos of coffee at our table. As someone who used to wait table myself, topping off coffee is a never ending task. Everyone loved their food. Atmosphere was great and i especially loved the healthier food options. Keep up the great work guys! read more

Tri-fecta with waffle. Eggs and waffle were good, but I also got the turkey sausage which was cold and disgusting. read more

We found this place by searching for a brunch spot during our vacation here in Destin. Wow!! I am blown away. We loved it. My boyfriend got the chikichanga and I got the elevated egg sandwich.

Some of the best breakfast tacos I have ever had! Love the atmosphere, the very open seating, and that they bring out a jug of water for you to refill your own glasses. We drink a ton of water so that is super convenient. read more

Good location, consistent food quality and usually great service. We've never been disappointed

Bacon lovers!!!!If you haven't been here to experience the bacon, you haven't lived! It's soooooooo good! Side caution, the peppercorn spices things up, a lot! But still very very yummy! read more

Delicious food and excellent service! I haven't been back since covid but I hope precautions are being met. I love the flavors of a breakfast burrito I ate, along with a yummy juice! I would love to go back. read more

This is my go to brunch selection whenever I visit First Watch, no matter the location. I really enjoy this perfect combination of pesto with the quinoa & chicken. It's a combination worth having upon each visit. It never gets old. I also enjoy the plate sized multigrain pancakes which are thick & moist. There's a lot of healthy options on this brunch menu‼ This spot is always worth the wait. read more

First Watch - Ahhh this Pesto Quinoa Bowl is the bomb. That pesto flavor mixed with the quinoa - Cafes Near Me - Destin, Florida

This is the best food you will find in this area. The salmon frittata is so good and the green apple juice is yum too. The pancakes are huge and my husband loved his skillet too. The food is fresh and the place is really cute with their rustic chic vibe. They have an app so it's great to save a spot in line on a busy day. The wait staff is attentive and our host was too. I really dig this place and will continue to return. I'm a food snob and have lived here 4 yrs. It took me forever to check this place out and now I regret not coming sooner. The food in this area sucks but First Watch does not disappoint read more

First Watch - Morning Meditation juice - Cafes Near Me - Destin, Florida

The servers and front of house manager are fake nice. They don't want to offer warm and friendly service in a timely fashion they want you in and out. No server name intro or where are u from? No no it's here's some coffee are u ready to order, here's ur check. So cheesy for the prices they charge. No time for small talk. I ordered the chickichanga with salad with side of ranch instead of potatoes to go. Unfortunately, I got these dried up precooked potatoes instead of the salad with a side of ranch, which I was looking forward too. For the price I paid I was very disappointed. They must have used a small flour tortilla to save on food cost. I suggest you spend your money and support local breakfast cafes in Destin like The Donut hole, The Pancakery, The Ruby Slipper or Crackles but not here. All these places have huge quantities and beautiful food presentations but not this place. read more

Great place for breakfast/brunch!!! Staff was quick and super nice, the food was very flavorful and yummy, and the coffee was delicious! Definitely recommend coming here! read more

First Watch - Avocado toast, potatoes, ham & gruyere omelette. - Cafes Near Me - Destin, Florida

We got carry out. The order was ready promptly. My wife had the bacon avocado omelette (without the avocado) and I had short rib poutine hash (seasonal). Yum Yum Yum! read more

We were seated moments after receiving a text at 10:04. The wait was 30 min to which we agreed as we thought it'd be worth the wait. After being seated, we did not receive the initial greeting from the server to ask for drink orders for 10 minutes. The meal order was placed shorty after drinks. From the time we we're seated to the time we received our food was an hour. During the wait, our drinks were not refreshed and we did not receive an update on our order. We began to question if the server had clocked out due to shift change. Once we spotted her passing by we stopped her to ask if there was an update. She noticed my drink was empty and asked if I'd like something to drink. The food was delivered minutes later. The food was hot and fresh. Good food but service needs to be improved upon. read more

First watch is some of the best breakfast I've had in Destin. Don't miss out on their creative seasonal treats. We had the carnitas breakfast burrito, which was to die for, and the breakfast tacos, which were simple but delicious. Angela was a very attentive server, and the wait staff worked well with each other to develop amazing service. read more

After a bachelorette weekend in Destin, my friends and I were headed back home and wanted breakfast before we were stuck in a car for a few hours so we decided to check out some local favorites, one of those being First Watch and I totally see why. It has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, the service was great, our waitress was so helpful at explaining what certain dishes were composed of and what they tasted like. We all got very different things and shared with each other, we all agreed that we would be okay with planning g another trip to Destin just for the brunch at this place. It was delicious on so many levels, makes me so sad that we don't have a place like it around our town! read more

First Watch - Bacado omelette with seasoned potatoes and multi grain toast with sides of strawberry jam and pico de gallo - Cafes Near Me - Destin, Florida

first watch never disappoints. my favorite breakfast place on every vacation. Floridian french toast is a 10/10

The Hacienda Hash was delicious! This was such a cute little place to have breakfast. I totally plan on going back in the future.

Literally just walked out! Waited an hour for our to go order. NEVER CAME. People who came in after we put our order in were sat and eating their meals. How does this happen?? Awful prioritization and organization. Thanks FIRST WATCH to wasting an hour before we drive 8 hours to Kentucky. Now we gotta look for another place to grab food for on the go. Hope it won't be this awful tease of an experience! read more

As a local, I've tried literally every single breakfast place in Destin and, even though this is a chain, their breakfast is consistently perfect. Your coffee cup is never empty, your food is mildly expensive but the amount you get is definitely worth it. Only wish they'd serve alcohol! read more

Great healthy food chain. No matter what location i go to the service , quality , and quickness of the food is superb across the board. They have seasonal options and fresh fruit year round. Personally I enjoy the incorporation of Mexican flavors into some breakfast options. For example: breakfast street tacos and the Chile Chorizo omelet. They have options for those who like a lighter breakfast and heavier options for those who like to stuff themselves to the brim (like myself) read more

An awesome brunch spot, Benedict is amazing! Very clean, all employees are attentive and so nice! Get there early during the busy season.

Probably the best breakfast place I've ever been to. Fantastic food, great portion sizes and great prices. Clean, healthy, delicious. Great coffee too!! So glad I found this place read more
