    Hostess stand
    Vicky N.

    Birthday mode activated I'm grabbing brunch with friends on Sunday morning, but honestly, I'm not sure why we always forget to document it. Either way, our three hour conversation made up for it. I would suggest if you want to come to first watch and not have to wait in line between 8:00and 8:30 is your best choice. We all had the traditional eggs, bacon, hashbrowns toast , I had a mint Chocolate Chip iced coffee. I do have to say I passed by establishment multiple times not really knowing that it was a first watch. Service was good. Food was great so if you're looking for a brunch spot First Watch in Fairway is a good choice.

    Chile Chorizo Omelet
    Amri L.

    The lemon blueberry cornbread is a must try! The purple haze is pretty good super sweet and refreshing! Love the chorizo omelette! I would definitely get on the waitlist online if you want to guarantee a spot your family in a timely manner. Great service, super packed and loud but worth it!

    Monterey Club with Gluten free bread

    Stopped in to this location for the first time in awhile. We were seated immediately but after waiting awhile at our table we had to ask the host who our server was. She came up about that time. She was friendly and our orders were correct. The food was consistently good as most First Watch locations. They got our orders correct. The restaurant was casual atmosphere answered good level of normal noise. I would say just checking back more with the customers would be helpful.

    Seasonal Brisket Hash - SO good!!
    Kimberly G.

    Went for some brunch today with some friends I hadn't seen in awhile. First Watch is always a go-to option for a good and fresh meal, but I had never been to this location until today. For coming in at about noon we were immediately seated which was fantastic! At most of the other locations we frequent, we typically wait anywhere up to an hour during the weekend. The server immediately took drink orders, and by the time he came back we all knew what we wanted to eat. The food came out fast and it was all delicious and just how we ordered it! I highly recommend trying one of the seasonal offerings when you go in, they've always got something great on there! My only complaint would be that the parking lot is super hard to find a space being the grocery store is right next door.

    Steak and bacon breakfast burrito
    Mrs L.

    Service was good, waiter was attentive. Breakfast burrito wasn't as flavorful as it looks. Cinnamon chip pancake was very good, heavy on the cinnamon. Keep your water glass close by. Also noticed an extra .50 added to the receipt for it, didn't question it but at $6.59 for one pancake plus the added .50 that's pretty damn pricey. The Hibiscus cranberry juice was sweet and the cinnamon was a nice addition that gave a punch at the end and balanced the tart flavor. Perfect for the holiday season!

    Eggs Benedict...Florentine.
    Priya Z.

    This is a fan favorite breakfast restaurant for my family when I visit. I have been here a handful of times. I usually stick with the Sunrise Granola. I'm not a huge breakfast eater, so when I do go out for breakfast I try to keep it as simple as possible. This time I decided to get the Eggs Benedict-Florentine, however I'm allergic to Avocados, so I asked for it without Avocados. The waitress repeated this back to me, and all was well. My SIS and Mom ordered from their 'Spring Menu' the Salmon Toast. I have a bite of my mom's and it was delicious. My nephew got some eggs, toast, and bacon. I'd say he ate 90% of his meal, he enjoyed it, plus he is a growing boy. My Mom and SIS really like their Salmon toast. For my dish, I started with the arugula side salad that was included. It was yummy, and it was dressed evenly, and not overdone. The Eggs Benedict was a nice change of pace for me, I ate 1/2 and started to feel sick, I tried not to think about it, and powered through. As I cut into the other half, I noticed there was a piece of Avocado on the breading. I moved it off with the fork, and didn't eat the bread, egg, or spinach it touched. However, I was already feeling sick. My Mom and SIS could tell I was in pain and when my mother went to pay, she told them about the mishap, they discounted her a portion of my meal only. I had a drive home back to Minnesota after that, and it was the most uncomfortable 7 hours. Most people think an allergic reaction to food, is puffy, swelling, can't breathe, which is all true, however, when I ingest Avocados, I get very ill, sharp pains in my stomach, throwing up, sweating, etc. Like I said, most uncomfortable 7-hour drive back to MN. I was later talking with my mother and blamed myself for trying something new, at a restaurant my whole family enjoys. My mother pointed out however, that it isn't my fault, and frankly they should have compensated my whole meal. I am not going to dock this review a star because I know in the past I haven't had a problem, and the staff has always been very friendly. Maybe I should have stated I'm allergic, but I didn't. I now know for the future. I mostly feel horrible my mother ended up paying for my meal.

    Steak hash
    Faria M.

    ***update: went back a second time and my experience was worst than the first. For a meal costing more than 10 would have expected to get more potatoes. Also would not recommend getting a frittata which was more inion than egg (if anything, get an omelette and make your tummy happy)

Here's the list: Sunrise, Jolly green, Power BLT, Baked Oatmeal, Croissant French Toast, Salsa Verde Pork &Eggs, Homemade Blueberry Tart and Carrot Cake Pancakes. Something tells me you just can't wait to hear.. the Fresh squeezed Sunrise & Jolly Green juice were so fresh and refreshing my goodness they were like little liquid vitamins drinks. The green went down so smooth with a hint of sweetness. The sunrise was just right for first thing in the morning carrot juice mixture I don't think we get enough of carrot juice but I felt so alive after drinking enough too go in on that Savory Satisfying Salsa Verde and it with the over easy egg on top to bring it home. When delivered it was still hot, the pork was so moist and seasoned darn well the salsa brought the entire thing together with that warm egg yolk I almost hurt myself it is a must try. Then comes the Large Power BLT with added grilled chicken. Listen to me you have to add the grilled chicken it takes it to a whole'nother level with the hickory smoky bacon cooked perfectly the kale and the brussel sprouts bean sprouts grape tomatoes it's just loaded goodness and the dressing being oil based seasons the green because they are raw so keep that in mind. You can literally feed 2-3 people with this salad. It's gonna be a summer staple for me no doubt!!!! Now comes the Baked Oatmeal - I've never had baked oatmeal but I believe they may have changed my mind with the berries I can't explain the warm goodness I think it was cinnamon but the oatmeal is so incredibly inviting so moist and chewy almost like an oatmeal cookie added berries for sweetness I added cream too it and let all my cares extinguish themselves. The Croissant French Toast- is RICH absolutely Rich, buttery toasted 3 pieces of goodness with a great helping of syrup. I say have some eggs and bacon some kind of fat or acidic beverage to cut through the richness, it put me to sleep when I finished it. We have the Homemade Blueberry Tart- ok let's talk.. flaky, buttery, when you break off a piece you layers of dough like someone loves their job. The filling on the inside compared to dough was perfect and very blueberry light sweetness, it's a cross between pop tart and toaster strudel but better. The icing kinda rubbed off in the bag but it was just enough and sprinkles to enjoy. I really liked that!! Yep, I saved the best for last those super moist Carrot Cake Pancakes, where have they been all my life huh where have they been? Just a simple sweet carrot cake with syrup you might as well say, like sponges just absorb the syrup to put you in a food coma and gone add a pad of butter as if, well as if it needed to be rich too flavor explosion just all over the place. I've never had that flavor pancake before but I will again. I wish I knew about this place before now, but it is one great find for any day or any occasion. Every item purchased was made, prepared and packaged with care. HomeGrown clearly loves their job because great things are coming out of that kitchen. I was very impressed my favorites are the Power BLT added grilled chicken and those Carrot Cake Pancakes. I've found another way to get my veggies . If you have not tried this place you got to and apparently they have some several locations. Picture time! I also posted my order and price shall you wanna take a walk on the tasty side of life. Enjoy! It's definitely a Yelp 5*****star. The serving sizes were nice. The price for what I got was perfect for me. The flavors paired well in each item. The excellent care in packing made me really happy. HomeGrown is well worth the investment.

I ordered the coffee cake & a cold brew, the pork hash, and a to go order of bacon and biscuits & gravy. I absolutely recommend getting the coffee cake! It came out steaming and was so delicious. I recommend the caramel sauce on the side as it kept well so I could eat more later. The cold brew was delicious, strong enough for an AM kick without being harsh. The hash was very good I recommend adding hot sauce on it. Everything we ate was so good! My waitress was great, allowed me to take my time enjoying my food & helping me with what to order.
