Finally visited First Watch in Fort Worth, and it was SO worth the wait. Highly recommend for four reasons: (1) food is stupendous - delicious flavors, fresh ingredients, options for everyone (vegetarians, protein-lovers, kids...), and nothing can beat high-quality breakfast/brunch dishes!; (2) service - staff is attentive/quick and very friendly; (3) vibe - decor is warm with tons of windows/sunlight, with available seating of indoor and outside as booths or tables or one high-top; (4) location - off Camp Bowie with plenty of parking shared with the many nearby shops. Definitely will be returning with family/friends. EXTRAS: You can order pickup/take-away; if you dine-in, your server takes care of you at table but you will pay the cashier/hostess by the front door. read more

OK, let's just say it. Going out for brunch on a Sunday without a reservation in the metroplex is a challenge. And that's putting it lightly. We tried going to the press club. They had an hour wait so we went over here to First Watch and they only had a 20 minute wait, but then people started pouring in and we noticed so many people were getting sat before us while they had call ahead seating, which caused a big bottle neck.. and a lot of people were miffed. But at the end of the bar in the front two seats opened up and we grabbed them. And we had the best seats in the house from where I sat against the wall at the end of the bar I could see the entire place. The bartender was a delight. We got our food fast. We were done eating before most of the other people had been sat. It was delicious and we had a great time. When you go out to eat, just be adaptable you'll have a much better time. read more

First Watch has been on Camp Bowie for awhile now. I've never had an interest until elite Yelper, Mike suggested this. I'm so glad he did, it was exquisitely great! The restaurant is cute, cozy, modern and has quick service! There was some sort of a hiccup. The power went out and it delayed their opening. They opened at noon and they had a good crowd waiting for them to open. Employees we're dressed in Black tees, jeans and a mask. I ordered a BLT for $9.99. It was really fresh! Bread was hearty, sweet and fulfilling. It was filled with long crispy Bacon Strips and lettuce and Mayo. It was the perfect combination even without any tomatoes or pickles. I sampled the Million Dollar Bacon and after tasting it, I felt like a Million Dollars! Bacon Strips were almost as large as the plate! It was crispy, spicy and topped with sweet Syrup. First watch lives up to their name. You wanna watch out for this restaurant because, you wanna be the first one there! You will love the brunch, atmosphere and service! read more

Food is great and service is pretty good. Commenting in hopes management will rethink their reservation process. Having online reservations available for a breakfast/brunch restaurant is not a good idea. You're limiting your ability to serve customers that walk up and your customers who have booked online. Online reservations make sense for dinner restaurants as they do not see a large amount of walk up customers. Again good food but reservation platform is degrading service. read more

Started off with my usual Morning Meditation and my favorite Bacado Omelette. My friend had the Quinoa Power Bowl. She was pleased. Said it made her feel good knowing she was eating healthy. I felt good knowing I was eating healthy food that actually tasted good! Ambiance was homey and friendly as was the entire staff. This wasn't my first trip to First Watch nor will it be my last as they never disappoint. read more

Was looking for an inexpensive brunch spot and First Watch was exactly what I was hoping for! We came at noon on a Saturday and did have a brief wait (~5-10 minutes). Our waiter was very attentive, super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I got the Parma skillet hash for about $12, and was very satisfied with the quality of the food. Eggs were made to perfection, and the hash itself was well seasoned - not too salty, not too greasy. Fruit was a nice touch! My friend got the smoked salmon frittata, and he liked it a lot. Both our plates came out relatively quickly despite First Watch being busy at noon. Everything tasted fresh and had that "homemade" quality. Typically I'm not a fan of brunch places since I'm not much of a breakfast food person, but First Watch definitely nailed the quality of food with solid prices. Would definitely return if I ever felt in the brunch mood! read more

I've been wanting to check this brunch place out for awhile now so when Elite yelper Melissa V and I had to change our plans to try chicken salad chick on account of them being closed on Sunday's we ended up here. Well i definitely was not disappointed in our backup plan! I ordered the Elevated egg sandwich which comes with Egg, bacon, crushed avocado, and arugula on a brioche bun, it was delicious It came with fried potatoes that were also yummy. I also ordered the "Million dollar Bacon" it was really good too, brown sugar, cayenne pepper and maple syrup cooked perfectly. The decor is modern rustic and they also have a nice patio area to enjoy on a nice day, the service was good and quick. I'll most likely be back soon, if you're in the area and looking for some good breakfast or brunch don't hesitate to give this place a shot. read more

We went for brunch and got seated right away. The place started buzzing soon after. Kimberly, our server, was incredibly friendly. Our meal came out in a flash and tasted amazing. Highly recommend! read more

I've actually been here a couple of times, but am somehow just now writing a review. This was not my first rodeo Service here has always been good and the food is good. I've never had to wait to be seated or had a bad experience with staff. The hostess was nice and our waitress was polite. I started with the kale tonic fresh juice and the hubby got the golden glow drink on the seasonal menu. After tasting his drink, I wish I had gone with that one. The kale tonic is on the sweet side, but the golden glow (pineapple, turmeric, OJ, coconut water, and lemon juice) is perfectly balanced. Our meals consisted of Shrimp & Grits and the Loaded Smoked Salmon Bagel - both items are on the Spring seasonal menu. They were both good, not the best we've ever had, but solid flavor in both dishes. The cheese grits were the star of the shrimp & grits. They tasted homemade. The shrimp were plentiful, but lacked flavor. The dish needed some extra seasonings to ramp up the flavor. The house made pickled onions were the star of the smoked salmon bagel. I would buy a jar of their pickled onions if they sold them. The bagel was bakery fresh. Patrons were spaced a table apart from each other and all staff wore masks. As soon as customers left, a staff member immediately began cleaning the empty table. We dined around 11AM on a weekday and they were pretty slow. I saw a lot of customers doing pick up orders, but not many sit down customers. That part was nice. I'm actually enjoying that restaurants are still a little quiet (for now). The restaurant is in a strip mall, so there is no shortage of free parking. Prices are reasonable and dish sizes are sure to fill. This is a nice laid back, lunch, brunch spot. read more

pros: - the menu has every type of brunch food you could want, and everything is delicious - good quality, fresh food for relatively cheap prices - delicious drinks - iced coffee, brunch cocktails, freshly squeezed tangerine and kale juices, etc - everything we ordered was perfect - especially recommend the cinnamon toast cereal milk cocktail and the power bowl cons: - their reservation/waitlist is in desperate need of revamping. they encouraged us to book online, and our text said an hour wait. but we did not know that this wait time only starts once we actually check in at the front. was told then of a half hour wait, and it turned out to be a full hour before we were seated. - service could be improved to be more efficient read more

They Need Help Eggs undercooked, whites were runny, clear. Sausage gravy, had no sausage and it was cold. Both breakfasts should have been sent back but we never saw our server after we ordered. The restaurant temperature was 65 and the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other. After waiting for our check we went to pay and we were asked if we had paid online. She was clueless how to accept our payment. There was one other customer when we left, so the problems weren't because they were busy. This is not the standard for First Watch. We will try the other one close by. This spot needs a major training session. read more

Food was great! Service was excellent! Go there! Coffee I liked it a lot not a little but a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wanted something new & while searching on here ran across First Watch. I went to the one in Ohio a few time. It was so refreshing today. All of the juice bar drinks looked amazing & I don't think you could go wrong. It was hard to go with the Leon Ricotta Pancakes because they were multigrain. Do not let that stop you, I could not tell at all. I am sure I will be back again. read more

Beside the long wait time on the weekends I love this place!! I ordered their salmon egg Benedict on their grain toast (which is to die for), and it was amazing!!! Very fresh smoked wild salmon, and eggs were perfectly poached, I added avocados and everything was superb!!! My friend ordered the breakfast hash, she was not happy with hers the bacon was not crispy and the grapes in her fruits were not fresh, but mine was great Oh and we ordered a one biscuit and gravey order!!!

First time here! I'm so glad I followed my gut and listened to all the wonderful yelp reviews about this place. Service was very pleasant and Rebecca, my server was very knowledgeable about the menu. Food tastes just as good as it looks - with appropriate prices! I had the delicious summer drink watermelon special, BLT Eggs Benedict, and an iced coffee to go! Amazing place to visit for lunch/brunch in Fort Worth! read more

We have been to this restaurant at least two dozen times, and we'll go every single chance we can get away in the morning. They're only open from early a.m. until 2 PM so a true coffee and brunch house. Definitely go to their website and put yourself on the sign in weight page or else you might go and wait up to two hours. Yes, it's that good. They are very cognizant of my celiac disease and, I don't have to pay extra for my slice of gluten-free toast. The only place I've ever been where this has happened. The wait staff is always good, and the coffee is always wonderful. I also enjoy that they give me water without ice. Trey European LOL This is a definite must go to Per Rita. read more

This is absolutely THE VERY BEST Corned Beef Hash I have ever had...and its not even close! Yeah, it's 14 bucks, but this will be breakfast AND lunch! Huge portions! Savory hand-pulled corned beef brisket, freshly seasoned potatoes, house-roasted sweet potatoes, onions and red bell peppers topped with two cage-free eggs cooked any style, Parmesan cream sauce and fresh herbs. This is NOT your grandpa's Corned Beef Hash! Bonus: the service is impeccable! Looks like the entire wait staff was very friendly and efficient. But special props to my server, Joey! Great job sir! Thank you! read more

First Watch - Brisket Corned Beef Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Oo! I'm not really a huge breakfast lover. I mean breakfast is solid, but this just isn't the meal of choice for me when I'm dining out. I figure I can make most breakfast dishes at home. It was my mother-in-law's birthday, so we wanted to take her out and brunch was the meal that worked with everyone's schedule on this weekday. Along with my sister-in-law, who were were visiting who had just moved to Fort Worth, we did some searching for the best breakfast in Fort Worth when we found First Watch. It has incredibly high reviews and it wasn't too far away from their home, so we were happy to check it out. We were a group of 5 adults and 1 toddler. We easily got a table to fit us and they had a high chair for the baby. Everyone was really excited by the menu options. They had both breakfast items and lunch items. First Watch is a breakfast-first spot, meaning breakfast isn't an afterthought here. They are only open until 2 pm! TIP: Be sure to look for the specials. They are top notch. My husband and I shared the Hacienda Hash which features fresh seasoned potato, chorizo and red pepper hash topped with two basted cage-free eggs, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, chipotle ketchup, sour cream, fresh smashed avocado and cilantro. We also shared the Chickichanga which has whipped eggs with spicy all-natural white-meat chicken, chorizo sausage, green chilies, Cheddar and Monterey Jack, onions and avocado rolled in a flour tortilla, topped with Vera Cruz sauce and sour cream. It's served with fresh fruit and fresh, seasoned potatoes. Both of these dishes were awesome, but my favorite was the hacienda hash which made me almost regret agreeing to share, except that the Chickichanga was good too. We also got a side of the Millionaire's Bacon for the table. There's 4 pieces to an order and there were 5 of us, so we cut them in half. They were good, but a little too sweet for me. It was fine by me that we were sharing as even just 2 pieces would have been too much, let alone 4. I wouldn't order this again. I had never heard of this restaurant, but just now browsing online about it, apparently it's a chain with 200 locations in 26 states. There's not one anywhere near me, so I wasn't familiar with it. Truth be told, this makes me like it a bit less, but whatever. It's super solid and it was a crowd pleaser! I stand by my 4 stars! read more

After discussing pancakes and waffles with my best friend on multiple occasions, we decided to have a brunch date. I asked her to take me somewhere with a great waffle, and of of course, she was not prepared at all, and had no suggestions. After we googled and argued like two stooges for an hour, we luckily stumbled across this gem. This place seemed to be pretty popular, and I was intimidated when I walked in. However, the wait wasn't long at all, and we were sat down after a short wait. Since I'm a glutton, I wanted something meaty, and bypassed all the delicious breakfast food and got the tacos. The tacos were pretty bomb! They involved a ton of meat, and I remember getting full almost halfway through my meal. The tacos were pretty hearty, and the potatoes that came with it were flavorful. I had a side of bacon, which was delicious as well, and I had a bite of my friends waffle. The waffle was super fluffly and reminded me of a pillow, which is what I would imagine a perfect waffle would taste like. My friend was very impressed by the waffle as well, and said it was the best that she's had! The menu was a healthier menu, and you could tell the ingredients were super fresh. There was a drink menu, so the college came out of me, expecting alcohol galore. Unfortunately this place didn't have any alcoholic beverages on their drink menu, but maybe my friend and I are just alcoholics and shouldn't expect a nice breakfast establishment to serve alcohol..... This will definitely be my go to spot for breakfast in Fort Worth from now on. Can't wait to go back and try some more food, and recommend you try this place out! read more

We were seated promptly and the first thing we noticed was the diverse demographics of all the patrons (always a great sign!). Mark, our server was extremely attentive and upon learning it was our first time visiting was more than happy to point out some of the "crowd favorites" on the menu, as well as his personal recommendation. Our order came out fast and was just as described. Delicious, quality ingredients at an extremely fair price! read more

Great brunch spot! Make a reservation/check-in or what not prior. At least on the weekends. Great food & ambiance for all ages.

I am very impressed with this First Watch! It's in a great location with great quality in taste and service. I tried their Smoked Salmon Benedict ($11.89) wild Alaska smoked sockeye salmon that melts in your mouth, two poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, and greens. It was soooo good, the salmon was a bit salty but tasted fresh. I had to try one of their signature drinks Kale Tonic made with Fuji apple, cucumber, lemon, and kale ($3.99). I felt like I was being powered by Mother Earth! Wow so refreshing and definitely made me feel good without the sugary crash. My friend tried their Biscuits and Turkey Sausage Gravy ($10.79) Freshly baked biscuits with savory turkey sausage gravy. Served with two cage-free eggs any style and fresh, seasoned potatoes (subbed with greens). She said she liked it and would get again. The gravy was pretty thin but tasted flavorful. read more

first time here with my boyfriend, and when we were entering the restaurant, it was kinda small and cramped but still nicely decorated and modern. it was actually pretty busy even though we came on a wednesday afternoon. the waiters were really nice too! all of their food options sounded amazing. i got the chile chorizo omelette with the mint chocolate chip iced coffee; SO SO GOOD! it was so delicious. my boyfriend got the chickicanga with orange juice. i was originally gonna order that one at first and WOW! i'd say it was better than my plate in my opinion. but both were still very good. it is on the pricier side, but it's worth it knowing they use fresh and good quality ingredients. definitely give this place a try if you're craving breakfast! read more

The sandwich was really good. The ice tea was nice and cold. The service was very professional. I would eat there again.

We have been here twice in the last month, and both times we were very impressed. The selection of food is impressive, and they are all organic and fresh sourced that makes it a nice thing to see at a restaurant. We have been pleased with both the food and drinks that we have had there, and we tried different things in both trips. The only two complaints we have, and neither is a bit deal, are: 1. We wish it was open for dinner, but that's just not the aim of the restaurant. 2. They do not always bring you the water and coffee at the beginning that you are supposed to. It seemed to vary by waitstaff, because as we looked around, we saw some that got those automatically and others who did not. We got the automatic water and coffee the first time and did not get it the second time. read more

We visited First Watch on a Tuesday for brunch. The women's bathroom was absolutely atrocious, worst I've seen in years. The food was alright. They did not bring out our entire order and when the potatoes came they were not fully cooked. Coffee was not strong enough. The million dollar bacon and waffle were both good if you like sweets. When we wanted to pay, we had to wait in a long line of people at the host's station near the front door. I'm not sure what the hype is about... we will not return. Yolk and Vickery Cafe are both much better options. read more

Best brunch place in town. Ingredients are fresh and high quality. Service is pretty good for the most part. Always busy when we've dined on weekends -- I'm talking a standing crowd inside and outside -- but the servers do their best to accommodate. If you don't feel like waiting on the wait list, there's a community table (shared table) that seats around 8. It's first come first serve. Ideal if your party is 2-4 people and the table is empty! read more

When I walked in I thought "oh no! A Kale, smoothie and avacado toast place!" I'm big on historic/old school diners so the upscale shopping center and trendy decor also got my defences up. My perusal of the menu assuaged my fears. There's also a lot of traditional breakfast fare. First, my server was Skyler - an energetic young lady who provided great service. She brought a carafe of hot coffee, made sure I had my half & half and brought a old school milk bottle of water. Caffeinated and hydrated I searched the generous menu. I opted for the Trifecta breakfast. My choice was eggs over-medium, turkey sausage and a waffle. All were perfectly prepared and served hot in less than 8 minutes. I have seen First Watch locations in several cities. I definitely will try again when I have time for a relaxed breakfast! My wife will love it also. read more

Food is delicious with good service. The orange juice is fresh squeezed, which is a delightful change from the norm.

Service was wonderful all the wait staff was friendly and attentive. Food tasted good as well. However. The system to pay and also get a table are right beside each-other. So the check out line was wrapped through the line for people waiting to get seated/a table. Very chaotic. Paying at the table would have made so much more sense, since the line was wrapped through the middle of the building. Very confusing system for paying out. read more

Solid place for brunch. I enjoy the eggs bennedict. It's a solid benny with good flavors. I normally order it with cheesy grits. The cheesy grits are pretty good a little runny for me but still decent. The million dollar bacon is phenomenal! I love that stuff. My husband has typically ordered the trifecta. The food always comes out tasting good, but theres never a lot of eggs. Today I also had the spiced chai cider and ot was definitely a good treat to enjoy. I like that they leave you with a carafe of water and pot if coffee at your table ready to refill your own cups so your not waiting for a waitress.Overall a good solid brunch place. Very busy so be prepared for wait time. read more

Funny how everyone got a reply but me . Food was burned , no water , no nothing . Rushed out the door with bad service and even worse food . Quality control is key . You don't flip over pancakes that are burned so (I ) the paying customer wouldn't know . Mmm hello . I might. It have been able to see it but I sure could taste it . Server had a bad attitude when I spoke up about it . Salmon was skimpy and bland . Do better . The drink was top notch tho . Still won't ever go back without a manger's phone call and a gift card . Sorry , but not sorry . As much money as this place is , I think the food should always be perfect. read more

They were really busy and we had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. The service was very slow and we waited long time to get our food... I understand that they maybe are under staffed. But, the lady's bathroom was dirty and looked like it hasn't been cleaned for a while. No toilet paper on the holders and there were bath tissues on the floor. Hair in the sink and brown stains... There were small bits of white stuff floating in our water. The carafe was dirty and there was something white stuff all over inside of the carafe... disgusting I had to ask for new water and glasses. But, he almost forgot to bring us new water and he came back to check on us and he finally remembered. By the time he brought us the new glasses, We were almost finished with our food... read more
