    Blueberry pancake with a side of bacon
    Dore T.

    First watch has an amazing selection of breakfast and lunch items. Their portions are huge. Their pancakes are the size of a dinner plate so unless you're starving one is sufficient. Their bacon is crispy the way I love it. Although I didn't get it today their Bloody Mary is awesome. It's topped with their million dollar bacon. They have a nice selection of healthier options as well. The oatmeal is delicious. Weekends are really busy. I suggest getting the app and getting on the waitlist. When you get there you can breeze past the line. The restaurant is very open with big windows that bring in a lot of natural light.

    Side of potatoes

    We've been here multiple times, but this time we got the pancake for the first time. We asked for a mix of chocolate and blueberry pancakes. The recipe used real blueberries and high quality chocolate. It came with a fresh compote. This has been a great pancake experience! Next time I will get just Chocolate pancake and I can already imagine how awesome it will be. Moist, soft and delicious!

    Came here on our trip's last day for breakfast, because we wanted something hearty before the flight home. We were seated immediately and was greeted with great service. Quite fitting for a morning riser food place. We walked in and felt right at home, a little rustic vibe and the menu looked like newspapers. The food itself was a little pricey for the portion size but everything tasted great. The plates were dressed very nicely, I'll give it that much. I do wish my potatoes were crisped a little more because I do like them crunchy. The french toast hit the spot, and the chile omelet did too.

    Avocado chicken chop salad

    Love First Watch! I'm currently on a restricted meal plan and so thankful for this place having many options to fit the mold! I tried the Avocado chicken chop salad and the citrus dressing was the perfect addition! It was a very summery salad which I loved and it was just the right size. The restaurant was busy but we were seated very quickly and our server was prompt with checking in on us. I also like that they have both an inside option and a patio for seating. So glad I stopped in. I hadn't been here since doing takeout during Covid!

    This is what you get when you order out.

    The food looks like it was half eaten before it even arrived. I understand COVID changed a lot of things howver, quaity and give a damn should not be one of them. I wish I could give them zero like come on! The standards should be the same for take out!! Because the prices sure do cost more to have it delivered.

    Food was amazing! Kendall gave us great service we will definitely be back to try more!

    The entry area is super confusing with the pay-out area and greeter stand being separate. When it's busy there will be 2 long lines that tangle together. Atmosphere is hectic but the food is good!

    Went for Saturday morning brunch. Restaurant was packed and loud so we sat at the community table. Still got quick and fat service and was in and out in a great time. Really good food and lots of menu options.

    I have ordered here plenty of times, though some times the food was great, most of the time everything comes burnt. I would double check your food before ordering to-go.

    Food is good with some healthy choices. Nice atmosphere and great service just a little pricey. But we knew that coming in.

    Emily rocks! We have gone to the Florence location as often as humanly possible. Love that location. And, as always, the food was wonderful.

    I've had two very different experiences with this restaurant -- one solid, one frustrating -- which…read moreaverages out to mediocre at best. My first visit was a takeout order of breakfast tacos that were pretty tasty. Based on that, I was hopeful for a good dine-in experience when I stopped by again recently with my mom for a late breakfast. This is a counter-service spot where you order at the register, grab a number, and seat yourself while they bring the food out. We arrived around 10 AM and it was packed. Despite the crowd, the line moved quickly, but that's where the efficiency ended. Most of the open tables were dirty, so we had to clean one ourselves with napkins. Not ideal. Then came the confusion around drinks. We never received cups after ordering -- despite asking three separate times. First, we were told the cups would come out with our food. When they didn't, we asked the food runner, who said he'd check on it but just disappeared into the kitchen. Finally, we had to go back to the counter a third time just to get cups for the fountain machine. That's a lot of back and forth for something basic. When the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm at best. I ordered two bacon breakfast tacos and a side of smashed potatoes. The tortillas were so hard they were practically inedible -- I ended up tearing pieces off and eating just the egg, bacon, and cheese filling. The potatoes were bland and also cold, like they'd been sitting out too long. It's disappointing because my first experience was solid. I'm hoping this was just an off day, but for nearly $40, this meal didn't feel worth it. The staff seemed overwhelmed and stretched thin, with just a handful of employees trying to juggle too many tasks during a rush. Cleanliness, service, and food temperature all suffered as a result. For now, this location won't be high on my list to return to. There are better breakfast spots in town that don't come with this much hassle.

    I stopped by for the second time and ordered the Squawking goat sandwich (which is what I got last…read moretime). Came to just over $11, no side, but a decent sized sandwich. I dined in, and food came out quickly, within 5 minutes. Love the flavors of this knife and fork sandwich, the tangy goat cheese, the sweet red pepper jelly (which is more like a Thai sweet chili sauce to me, very little heat), and the well seasoned crispy chicken. The biscuit is good, more solid than fluffy, but it all works well together. I'm sure I'll be back when I'm in the area!
