    Excelente and awesome place to come for breakfast

    Excellent costumer services. What I order was delivered in a good time manner. And everything was delicious. I would definitely come back with the family for sure.

    Carnitas Breakfast Quesadilla
    Tyrone F.

    First Watch is a breakfast and lunch destination if you love healthy food ingredients. I came here for late breakfast. The service is very friendly and attentive and the menu is deliciously curated with pancakes and quesadillas for breakfast and green tonics with the freshest ingredients. They have a seasonal menu which is my fave and an ongoing daily menu too which includes classics like French toast, pancakes and omelettes. They also have brunch cocktails like Bloody Mary and mimosas. I started with a kale tonic fresh juice and then dined on a carnita breakfast quesadilla which was a seasonal menu option which was tasty and excellent. I'm absolutely visiting here again the next time I'm in town.

    Bacado Omelette with a mixed greens salad.

    I can always count on First Watch for a great brunch experience when I'm here visiting family. The service was very attentive and quick, and the food was fresh and delicious. We shared an order of million dollar bacon to start, always a great treat. I had the crab avocado toast from the spring menu, which was loaded with fresh crab and avocado, and topped with tangy pickled onions. My Mother had the Bacado omelette, which was fresh, and tasty. My partner opted for the works omelette, which was loaded with fresh ingredients, and served with perfectly seasoned crispy potatoes. Always a big pot of coffee on the table too! Highly recommended!

    I dropped into this First Watch location to grab a bite to eat after working all night. The restaurant was very clean and the hostess was super nice. My server, Jill, was fantastic. She was very helpful and extremely attentive, even though she was very busy running around getting the restaurant set up for the morning rush. I ordered the breakfast burrito, which came out in a timely manner, and was absolutely delicious. And I could only eat half of it. I would definitely recommend this place and I would most certainly recommend asking to be seated with Jill.

    The Traditional Breakfast
    Kimberly H.

    My hubby and I got to our church for effluent church in Estero and were told time change to later. We then asked if there was a good place to have breakfast. One of our greeters said you must go to First Watch. So glad we did. It was the first day that they had opened up since Hurricane Ian had struck the area. It was packed but the servers were spot on. Our server Leticia was awesome. She was attentive and friendly. I ordered their Traditional. 2 cage free scrambled eggs, Belgian waffle and bacon. It was incredible. It came with a blue berry, blackberry compost which was delicious. Also served with shooed butter and warmed maple syrup. It tasted so amazing. We will be back. All the servers were very friendly and help out each other and are quick to help customers too. Wonderful eatery, amazing food. We will be back.

    French toast (looks great but for me lacked flavor)
    Brett B.

    My wife and friends have alway spoke highly of FirstWatch. I found the service excellent and the food presentation good, but for me the French Toast lacked flavor. My wife's breakfast potatoes were hard and not cooked sufficiently. The waiter was very upfront that it would take 5 minutes to get another batch,'at which point the rest of her food would be cold. While I appreciated his honestly it's strange they wouldn't expedite a resolution. He offer other optima but my wife did not want any of those. He reduced the bill $2.00 without our asking which was a nice gesture. While this specific visit wasn't great and I wish they had more brunch/lunch options for non breakfast eaters, this place had a great reputation and I expect my wife will be back (I just won't join her).

    Avocado Toast
    Amanda S.

    First watch is very consistent having dined here over several years. Great for both breakfast and lunches. Their version of avo toast is elevated by lemon zest and flaky seat salt. Poached eggs are cooked perfectly. I can probably eat this 2 lbs of this bacon like popcorn at the movies - so addicting! The salmon frittata was lacking salmon - have to treasure hunt for it but still tasty. Reasonable prices and great service.

Having that vibe just made the experience that much better! the place was packed! The tables are pretty close together, so a lot of people can be seated inside at once but they also have outdoor seating too You don't have just one server, all of the servers take care of you, which is really nice so whenever you need something, it's easy to get a hold of someone as well as being checked on to make sure you have everything that you need I don't know if this is allowed, but the workers were drinking in the kitchen area, which is open so you can see everything going on. I personally don't have a problem with it, but would hope that they don't get too intoxicated while cooking food. Overall, the environment was super fun and would definitely eat here again if we visited the area

This particular diner had something else I was interested in, a robot food runner. My breakfast of choice was their Meat Lover's Omelet, an omelet that had cheddar cheese, cubes of ham, some ground sausage, and included in there someplace were little pieces of bacon. As far as omelets go, this one was average, nothing out of the ordinary. They didn't have their Home Fries, so my side was hash browns, which are almost designed to be uniformly average. 41 Diner has a definite diner look from the outside, inside didn't have neon or chrome but it's a large comfortable place not unlike a favorite diner. It was almost empty when I stopped in. My service was great and the food didn't take long at all to arrive. As for the robot, I didn't get to see it in action. Because they weren't really busy and I was a single diner i.e. not many plates to bring to my table, my food was delivered normally. At the end of my meal I did ask about the robot and learned they do use it. They can load it up and have it go to any table. The server will transfer the dishes to the table and send the robot back to wherever it hangs out. She told me it was very helpful and even offered to demo it for me. Here is an old school diner with point of sale checkout machines and a robot. Cool.
