    The food and service is spot on. A bit to elbow to elbow at my third visit. I understand trying to make enough seating but most folks including myself, prefer to have a little distance between us and the next table. However, this is my only critic! Beautifully presented , delicious tastes and super courteous and attentive staff!

It was fantastic! Husband had biscuits and gravy and a side of grits. He also loved it! Food was hot!! Highly recommend this breakfast restaurant. Closes at 2 Thankyou Tina for exceptional service! Will definitely come again!

    VIP invite today before tomorrow's big opening. 4/6/25

    We had a First Watch brunch today, at the VIP Sneak Peek, and "spoiler alert" it's a big chain and it's gonna get a 5 star from this guy. I have dined at other locations in Pennsylvania and I'm very excited to have one locally. Their first day open in Foley, AL, to the public, 4/7/25. The first location was opened in Pacific Grove, California in 1983 by Ken Pendery and John Sullivan. The co-owners founded it after leaving the Le Peep breakfast chain in Colorado. In 1986, they moved their headquarters to Bradenton, FL. There's more than 570 locations 29 states and they're growing fast. They specialize in being really good at breakfast, rather than being mediocre at all the meals of the day. They're only open for breakfast, lunch and brunch and the doors close at 2:30pm, period. BTW their name "first watch" aboard a ship starts a new day of work for the crew, so being an old sailor from an aircraft carrier it just makes sense :-) None of their locations have any deep fat fryers or heat lamps in its kitchens, and have an expansive menu that caters to almost anyone's taste. That includes those with food allergies, dietary restrictions, or special diets with good vegan and vegetarian options. They go above and beyond by listing every single ingredient for each menu item online so that you can review their options ahead of time. I'm impressed with their use of cage-free eggs, and whole-grain breads and their in-house juices are hand squeezed and they make drinks with them that are spot on. We had the Morning Meditation drink which is: Orange juice, Lemon juice, Turmeric, Organic ginger, Agave nectar, Beet juice, that was absolutely divine. Now, let's talk about our food here. They have a very nice menu of greatvl fresh foods including: Salads: Superfood Kale, Cobb, Sweet Honey Pecan, Chicken Avocado Chop Sides and Small Plates: Bob's Red Mill Grits, Buttered Corn, Fresh Seasonal Fruit, Million Dollar Potatoes, Biscuits & Gravy, Our Whole Grain Artisan Toast with All-Natural House Preserves, English Muffin, Gluten Free Toast, Freshly Baked Muffin of the Day, Hardwood Smoked Bacon, Smoked Ham, Chicken Apple Sausage Patty, Lemon Sausage, Greens Dressed Organic Mixed, Bowl of Soup, Tomato Basil, and Soup of the Day Sandwiches: Monterey Club, Organic Mixed Club, Mayo on Sourdough, BLT, Artisan Whole Grain, Roast Beef & Havarti, Ham & Gruyere Melt The Healthier Side: Avocado Toast, Healthy Turkey, Superfoods Bowl, Steel-Cut Oatmeal, Power Wrap Egg-sclusives: Chickichanga, The Elevated Egg Sandwich, BLT, Benedict, Classic, Tomato Omelets and Frittatas: Bacado, Chile Chorizo, Topped with all-natural sour cream and served with a side of housemade pico de gallo, The Works, Frittata Rustica, Smoked Salmon & Roasted Vegetable Frittata I've had quite a few choices from various locations but my honey had Frittata Rustica that she really enjoyed, and I had Market Skillet Hash with two cage-free eggs atop seasoned potatoes, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms, zucchini, shallots, red peppers, and baby spinach, topped with melted Mozzarella and herbed Goat cheese, served with whole-grain artisan toast. It's a hearty, vegetarian dish with fresh, savory flavors that is out of this world delish. Of course we had to have a side of that crazy good Million Dollar Bacon :-) From the Griddle: Multigrain Pancakes, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Belgian Waffle, French Toast, Floridian French Toast Classic Favorites: The Traditional Breakfast, Tri-Fecta, Eggs Benedict, The Elevated Egg Sandwich, Skillet Hash, Million Dollar Bacon Power Bowls: Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl, Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl Beverages: Project Sunrise Coffee, Decaf Coffee, Cold Brew Coffee, Iced Coffee, Herbal Tea, Fresh-Brewed Iced Tea, Hot Chocolate, Reduced-Fat Milk, Oat Milk, Coca-Cola Soft Drinks, 100% Pure Squeezed Orange Juice, Grapefruit Juice, Apple or Cranberry Juice * Their coffee tastes great and something unique about theirs is what the menu tells you: "Every cup of our Project Sunrise coffee tells a story. It's about empowering the Mujeres en Café, or women farmers, who grow and handpick each bean, supporting families and strengthening communities throughout South America. And that's only the first sip. Because we believe better coffee cultivates a better world." That's pretty cool!! BTW Don't pass up the opportunity to indulge in their Million Dollar Bacon (baked with brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and black pepper and topped with maple syrup and herbs) it is decadent, yum. Bottom line: Clean, vibrant place with very good service (thanks Little John), good coffee, with great menu and food done right and served hot. Absolutely recommended!

    Biscuits & gravy with 2 eggs & potatoes

    Decent. The restaurant looks really nice inside, and the pancakes are great! The bacon was a little but greasy on the first bite, but was better after. The staff are very nice!

    Great for brunch. I usually get an omelet and enjoy one of their juice drinks. Atmosphere is casual, and the staff is friendly

    I have a gluten allergy. This is a wonderful place for celiac to eat breakfast. Most anything on the menu can be made gluten-free.
