Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash
Jennifer B.

Went to a nearby estate sale and needed food! Stopped in here because there's usually a new menu item I can try. Sure enough there was a new seasonal menu with quite a few new entrees. No wait and we were seated right away. Our waitress came over minutes later to take our drink order and shortly after our entree order. While waiting for our food it was awfully cold. Luckily my friend had a jacket for me to borrow. Also it's usually packed so the noise level is quite loud. Today I went with the honey chicken chipotle bowl. Eggs prepared over easy and it all came out just right! Full of flavor and the slightest hint of spice. First Watch is always a good decision!

Kids Bacon & Egg
Tonya K.

Another great visit with the family! Very nice & efficient service. Always relaxing atmosphere. Kids menu is a great option and portion. Love the lemon ricotta pancake with my Tri-fecta plate; chicken sausage was very tasty and eggs were good quality. The steak omelette special with potatoes and spinach was amazingly delicious and a large portion with fried egg. The best coffee in town; medium roast yum. The eggs, bacon, with sourdough bread & fruit cup was perfect for our 7 y/o. Will definitely be back to our bfast & brunch spot!

Sat at the bar and had a great experience! The bartender was super attentive and provided excellent service throughout my visit. The food was fresh and tasty, and everything came out quickly. My only wish is that they offered a few more coffee drink options besides regular coffee -- that would make the experience even better. Overall, a great spot for breakfast or brunch! Tip, add your name to the wait list ahead of time as the wait can be long depending on your party size. Place is loud as it's always packed, but worth the wait and ambiance.

Street corn hash

There's nothing better than a First Watch Avocado Toast. Always been my favorite. Million dollar bacon is a must. I can't recall the girls name but we had her twice and she was on top of all the requests. I still miss Becky but she's moved on. Place is always busy and rustling. Not loud but don't go for a quiet breakfast.

On my first visit, I came with a friend, and our server was fantastic. She was friendly, personable, and attentive, providing excellent customer service (I wish I had caught her name, but she mentioned she enjoys anime after she complimented my baby's Akatsuki bib). I tried The Works Omelet paired with a Pineapple Express, and it was quite tasty, especially with some Cholula sauce. My friend, who had been there before, ordered a frittata and coffee, both of which she enjoyed. During my latest visit on May 21, 2025, the staff was just as welcoming, seating me at a table while I waited instead of making me sit on the bench by the front desk, which I appreciated since many places require you to wait until your whole party arrives. My friend stuck with her usual order and loved it, along with her coffee. I went for the same choices again--the Works omelet and Pineapple Express. The omelet was delicious, and the Pineapple Express was just as refreshing as I remembered. This really highlights their consistency in food and drinks. Our server was friendly. If you haven't had the chance to dine here yet, I highly recommend it. They offer fantastic food and outstanding customer service.

Carrot cake pecan pancakes ..why does it have bananas

I usually don't leave reviews, but after the last 3 visits I have to say something. Every single time I've ordered pancakes here, something has been baked into them that absolutely should NOT be there. I'm not talking about toppings--I mean random, unwanted stuff inside the batter itself. The first time I let it slide. The second time, I was already questioning things. But the THIRD time?? At that point it's clearly not a one-off mistake--it's a consistency problem, and not in a good way. It honestly makes me question the kitchen standards and attention to detail. Pancakes are one of the most basic items on the menu, so if that's being messed up repeatedly, what else is going on back there? Really disappointing because I used to enjoy coming here, but after three bad experiences in a row, I won't be ordering pancakes again--and honestly, I'm reconsidering coming back at all.

Kale Tonic
Shalon P.

Had such a great meal here. I ordered the kale tonic. It was very tart and I mean that in the best way. The carne asada tacos were very good. For my real entree I had the double bacon Parmesan hash. Now this comes with a LOT of arugula, which I hate. However, the hash was really good once I picked all of that off. I'd definitely come again and try more things

Menu
Courtney L.

We were seated immediately, but it did take quite some time to get our orders taken and get our food. The outside seating was really nice, as well. The pesto chicken power bowl was AMAZING. If I could get that every week, I definitely would. Overall, I would definitely come again, but maybe pick what you want on the way to the restaurant to save some time.

Farmhouse Hash
Jim B.

Great breakfast as always. Wife had the Farmer's Skillet and I had the Rustic Frittata with a side of potatoes. Both meals were great and we plenty of leftovers for tomorrow's breakfast. Our server was Sydney and she was excellent. Pleasant and helpful. We look forward to our next visit to First Watch.

Farmhouse Hash
Grace G.

Decent breakfast place. Downside is that it's always extremely hard to be seated during weekends because they are always so busy. It took our waitress forever to get to us once we were seated. I ordered a drink that came when my meal did almost 30 minutes later. Then, when I wanted a second, that wasn't an option because she came back with the check already. I also asked for no onions but there were onions. When I told the waitress about it, she said onions are mixed in with the potatoes and she had forgotten to tell me when I ordered and asked for none. She did however compensate me with a free blueberry muffin but she said taking it off the bill or replacing it for free was not an option. Parking is terrible in the area. There are too many businesses around and it's overcrowded. I had to park about 3 businesses down because there is never parking in the front since they are so busy.

Nice Tri Fecta service was great thank you
Chandrale P.

The meal that day was great The service was excellent. I was seat down immediately.I will come back one day . Had a meet day it went well I think .

Morning Meditation, water and coffee
Gin J.

We stopped by before getting back on the road to head home. We ordered the fresh juice (Morning Meditation), pancakes and bacon, and I got carne asada breakfast tacos. The service was quick, they were polite and the food was great. They even have flavored creamers at the table which is a major bonus for me. Hazelnut & French Vanilla. The next time I'm in the area I'll definitely return.

Lemon pancakes with eggs and bacon
Jeffrey G.

We stopped here for brunch and it was an excellent choice. We were seated immediately and had a very friendly waitress. I ordered the lemon pancakes, with bacon and eggs. The pancakes were awesome, and the bacon was crispy, but the eggs were way over cooked and hard. My wife had the yellow grits and said theyvwere the best she had had. The price was very reasonable, and we will definviait again when back in FW.

Fresh squeezed Morning Meditation juice. Delicious!

Do they still not serve alcohol? If they do now, on Sunday mornings too?

Yes, it's served on Sundays, beginning at 10 am (per Texas law). 😁

The smash burger tacos were the best of the 3 entrees we ordered. Pretty full and hardy. We also had queso for an appetizer. It was pretty good with very good thick, chips that were good for dipping. Dinner for three with tip $85. It just wasn't very good. Def won't go back by choice. Also, half of the booths have chairs that are higher than the booth benches, so everyone sets uneven across from each other. Weird.

The Chinese and Mexican Salads are both amazing! Worth the money! The chicken salad in the case or on the sandwich is another favorite! Get the Blums cake! It is worth every calorie. This most recent visit we skipped it in favor of the strawberry cake which was stale and a big let down. I called later to let them know it should probably be pulled and should have been so a day or so earlier. I get it--it's hard to keep cake fresh without a lot of preservatives, but even at room temp it was stale. Blums cake will never let you down, though.

After taking our order, we didn't see our server until she brought the check. I'm sure she was busy, but a check-in or two would have been nice to avoid having to flag her down from across the room to get refills or jam. The restaurant itself was pretty clean with a nice waiting area outside, but the restrooms needed a little attention. I would visit again, but First Watch wouldn't be my first choice. It just felt too rushed and inhospitable compared to other brunch places in the area.

Eggs were cooked perfectly. The sausage links were very good. Tasty and tender. Better than the bacon actually. The bacon was thin-ish. Tasted fine but would have been better if they used thick bacon. The waffle was large and was decent. The pancake - wow! This was the star for sure. It was huge, hot, tender and full of blueberries. We'd come back here for the food and for Anthony's level of service if we can get him.

We started with the biscuits and cinnamon roll. I would recommend both. The biscuits came with a jam, honey and whipped butter. The cinnamon roll, which may look a bit underwhelming had a such a great crispy texture on the outside while still being fluffy on the inside. The icing wasn't too sweet and complimented the roll nicely. For the table, we had the pollo frito biscuit w/duck fat potatoes, Brisket Benedict w/okra and the Fixe Breakfast entree w/maple sausage and potatoes. The pollo Frito was delicious, the chicken was seasoned well and maintained crunch even within the biscuit. Duck fat potatoes were also good but were even better after adding some salt. The brisket benny was okay, the texture of the brisket was very odd and didn't really hold up to the egg. Although the okra had a great flavor the batter was a bit too thick which made it chewy. The Fixe breakfast was great and the maple sausage was perfect. Our waitress was Adriana, she was great and very helpful. Overall we would definitely come back and look forward to trying dinner one night.
