First Watch - Blueberry Muffin - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

The food is always quality and fresh ! I get my usual Monterey club sandwich with a side of greens and it never disappoints! They have so many breakfast items as well as salads , sandwiches, skillets etc. They recently added blueberry, lemon corn bread and my family loves it . It's like dessert . If you like cornbread it's a must try but definitely big enough to share ! The service is always fast and friendly. As far as ambiance, This particular location in Florence was louder than the one I frequent in Kenwood, but all of the locations I've been to are always very clean , modern , minimalist. read more

7 of us stopped in for breakfast. We were seated at a round table which was spacious. Service was excellent as were the orders across the 6 epicureans and one, 3 year old. The standard menu along with the seasonal menu offered a variety for a large offering of eclectic choices. I was very impressed and will certainly be back Sorry no pictures- had family in from out of town that took my full attention. read more

Our service was a pleasant experience. Our server was amazing. She was extremely helpful, responsive, prompt, as well as detail oriented on specific requests. (I believe her name was Sidney?). Foods must to come out together. Our family had 2 orders of avocado toast. One arrived first thing, the other was minutes after all food was served. (My wife's was last) As a large profitable franchise, I'd focus on the layout. The front wait area is not comfortable, walking through the dining room has no flow, families are smashed and sat into uncomfortable booths, tables, with no room to walk around when chairs have guests pulled out from tables and enjoying themselves. We were trying to navigate our son's wheelchair to our seat. I'd strongly advised removing front entry checkout. Has no reason whatsoever in today's world. Nothing is efficient. Clogging, bogging, and shuffling out of the way for checkout, arrivals, and yelling party names. (Experience) It can leave a last tarnished memory when existing the restaurant. read more

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. read more

First Watch - Blueberry pancake with a side of bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Met friends for brunch on a Saturday morning. Used the app to get in line and did not have a wait when we arrived. Portions were large and the food was very tasty. Our server was attentive yet gave us space to talk and connect freely with friends. Food was better than the average fare. We will be back. read more

Absolutely love this place. Great juice bar, great gluten free options, great coffee! Excellent breakfast. I would definitely recommend this place as a no brainer. Will be coming back. read more

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. read more

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

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! read more

Yummy! Honestly I was expecting this to be your basic brunch place and maybe it was but the food was really good! My egg was cooked perfectly. The hash was really well seasoned and the fall specials were good too. I loved the donut holes. It's priced well and yummy. read more

The portions are generous here and the service is good. I had a vegetable omelet with a side of turkey sausage. The sausage was a bit dry but otherwise ok. It's very busy here so expect a wait. If you're by yourself you can just sit at the long high table - no wait. read more

Love the food but the coffee just stinks, not only does it taste bad, it's served cold in one of those stupid carafe. Any restaurant who serves coffee in carafe you might as well expect it served lukewarm or cold. read more

Worst first watch I've been too. Go to the one in Erlanger that's 10 minutes away. No care into making the food

Good breakfast for 3 people. Special menu items. Service wasn't the best but it was adeqate

great menu. great waitress, great experience sat at the "community table" no wait great menu ........................ read more

Had been to other locations before but this was by far the worst one. Lunch was underwhelming and overpriced. Found a hair in my soup. The only saving grace was their kind and attentive waiter. read more

I just love First Watch. The experience, the food and the consistency in service no matter which one you visit. One of these days, I will take photos of my meal. Ha! I've sampled their two vegan options or can be made vegan and love them both. Especially the veggie burger with the avocado smash. With many sides to choose from I always seem to get the fresh fruit no matter what the season. I've read many articles about the importance of fruit in your diet so this side is the best option for me. Thank you First Watch for always seeming to be just around the corner. Can't wait to visit again! read more

We were traveling through the area and did take out for lunch. We had the Monterey club sandwich - turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato and Monterey Jack cheese on a great sourdough bread. A bit tricky to eat but oh, so worth it. Yummyness! We also had tomato basil soup that was rich and delicious. And a side salad of mixed greens with a lemony dressing. I liked it all. As Arnold said, I'll be back! read more

This morning on the way to the airport to return our rental car, we decided to have breakfast at First Watch in Florence. We had the avocado toast, the Italian omelet and the trifecta (scrambled eggs, chicken sausage and a pancake). Everything was delicious. The multigrain toast was a bonus - very good. It was very busy, but the service was outstanding. read more

The food was great, the service top notch. There was plenty of food served. I couldn't finish my meal and that is unusual for me. Very busy on a Sunday. You get on the waitlist online before you head there. I suggest you use it. read more

I can't find the words to express the amount of awesomeness this restaurant has. The waffles in this establishment are THE best in the business. The staff is so kind. They are there to make your day better. Of course the ambience in that building is awesome. The random doors hanging from the ceiling just do it for me. 5 stars read more

This is my first time at the First Watch in Florence. I thought I would give it a try since I am in the neighborhood. Early on a weekday, it is not too busy. Getting a seat right away is nice. I thought I would get an Orange Juice, but the Mint Mocha Iced Coffee had my name on it. Yum! I was so hungry, I didn't take any pictures of my food. I had the Works omelette with a side of sausage and grits. Very tasty. I had a window seat with the curtains down. Having the sun rise on my face was nice without blinding me. Great place to come. read more

Always Always love First Watch. I look for them every where we travel. I love the juice drinks. Morning Meditation. The one with Kale is my favorite cause I feel I'm getting a healthy drink. I Love the million bacon. And I Love the lemon ricotta pancakes. First Watch. keep up the great food. We ate at the one in Columbus GA last month and it was awesome. Going to one in Daytona Beach this month looking forward read more

I am not a big breakfast or brunch fan but this place was excellent!!! So many great options! I had the chimichanga (whipped eggs with spicy chicken, chorizo sausage, green chilies, cheese, onions, and avocado rolled tortilla topped with sauce and sour cream - served with potatoes) and it was delicious. My favorite thing was the morning meditation freshly squeezed juice which was a blend of orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar, and beet. we also got the million-dollar bacon for the table and that was also really good. We ate here while in Nashville so I looked to see if there were any locations near me but sadly the closest one is in Union NJ. I would definitely make a point to stop here if there was one within driving distance. read more

I had wanted to try First Watch for quite sometime but hadn't because I figured it would be the same as most chain restaurants. Well I was very wrong the food and service were great and can't wait to go back to try something new - there were so many things to choose from it was hard to choose just one! read more

Pleasantly surprised by an almost accidental trip into First Watch. Mentally, I've always loaded First Watch into the same dull bucket as Bob Evans and Cracker Barrel, a place to get breakfast when you're on the road and have few other options. Not so anymore. A refreshing menu at the intersection of American traditional breakfast and hipster chic, with better coffee than you'd expect from a chain. Service was prompt and discreet, about all I can ask from them considering how busy they were for brunch. Despite the crowd (and full parking lot), there wasn't a wait for a table, and the dining room rarely rose above a soft din. Overall, surprisingly good for a stop to or from CVG in the mid-morning. read more
