In all of my years of being a food critic, I have never experienced anything like today. The employees are phased by colored people, as a colored person being starred at for 15 or more minutes is not the best way to welcome customers especially if you're eyeing them up and down. As I and two fellow colleagues sat there waiting for a table we couldn't help but notice that others who came in after us had already been seated at a table. Why is that? Color of the skin is why? Multiple others who were barely walking in got a table before us as well until I stood up and asked for help. To make others feel welcomed and comfortable in a local brunch spot should be a top priority. First watch needs to train their employees in diversity and train them on how to treat all people the same. Thank you. read more

It become my favorite place. The food is good and the atmosphere is nice. The staff wearing masks and they require customers to wear mask plus they're forcing social distancing. I've been in this place twice and had an amazing experience. I will definitely go back soon read more

First Watch - Farmhouse skillet with sunny eggs and floridian french toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Fantastic. The place was hopping busy, buzzing with plenty of patrons and not an empty table in sight. We took advantage of joining the online Waitlist. Once seated in a cute section away from the door, which only took a few minutes after we arrived and checked-in, we ordered coffee, water, the Parma and Farmhouse Skillet. I requested my skillet without potatoes or toast. Our terrific waitress, Kimberly, was kind enough to offer a substitution of avocado and blueberry muffin which I gladly accepted. We also ordered grits which were said to be excellent. Being from Texas, we know grits, and they got a very favorable review. One entree came late so the manager came over to apologize and took it off of the bill. Yep, we were very happy with his place and they had good coffee. I would like to have smaller pieces of sun-dried tomatoes in my skillet, and I am not a fan of how the water glasses smell, but again, our dining experience today was fantastic. read more

Me & mama have been here several times- today as we finished I asked one of the waitress to see the manager In just a few Omar, the manager came to our table I asked who I would talk to if I had a complaint- his facial expression changed- well that would be me- I asked what if I had a compliment- that would DEFINITELY be me he said smiling!! We have been here several times - just wanted you to know that this is one fine place- never seen a group of associates work so great together- all smiling- as if they are happy to be here and they make us feel like we are glad we came to enjoy this great breakfast And on the Yelp scale of 1-5 our waitress would get a 7- as would you and your great restaurant- terrific food- splendid service with an attitude that is contagious We will be back soon- I concluded!! And what is your name he asked? Dale & Linda B from here in Fort Worth - I replied-Well you make our day coming especially sharing your kind words- which I will share with our staff read more

Great food & great service! We were seated immediately mid day on a Friday. Our waitress gave us coffee immediately. We thought it was free because she didn't even ask if we wanted coffee. Regardless, she was very attentive and nice. The food was amazing. I ordered the you pick 2, with 1/2 a ham & gruyere cheese sandwich & a honey pecan salad. The salad was much bigger than I thought, made me think how large a full portion would have been. My friends got the trifecta with a pancake, eggs, & sausage & the other got lemon ricotta cheese pancakes. read more

This is maybe my third time eating breakfast at First Watch and they have yet to disappoint. The food comes out nice and hot, service is pretty quick even for the weekend. The timing was reasonable from waiting for a table, to getting our seat, from receiving our food. read more

First Watch - The classic eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Came here for breakfast on a Tuesday morning and was kinda shocked at the place being fairly busy lol. As soon as we sat down, we were promptly asked if we would like coffee and like the caffeine slaves my friend and I are, we loved this! Our server was super sweet and was patient with us since the menu was quite large and got us to go boxes and silverware, since the portions were generous. Parma skillet hash - loved the pieces of caramelized onion, mushroom, sausage, roasted tomato, and potato chunks! Totally a savory breakfast and was very plentiful (had enough for a snack later on). I got the eggs poached and only one yolk was runny, but the other yolk was still soft. Coffee - ~$3 and you get a big, refillable urn of it! They have a variety of creamers available and sugar and the coffee itself had a really nice flavor with not a lot of bitterness read more

Concept was great, food was delicious, with out a doubt. We really enjoy the bacon and the fresh juices. So I know breakfast on a Saturday is trying time. I fill the wait for 2 was excessive for us. when we arrived I really think 30 plus minutes with a few open seats a waste of time. Server was good but to many tables and you could here the people starting to chatter about it. But realistic the food for breakfast was really good we will come back but make sure we don't get left behind in the timeframe on 800 am I guess! read more

First watch is always great but Erica made it an even better experience than normal. She is the best waitress I've ever had and was so friendly! I was with my grandma who can be a little bit much sometimes because of her forgetfulness and age, and Erica was so sweet and understanding towards her. Thank you Erica and we will be back soon! Ask for her when you eat here read more

I decided to go eat by myself for the first time and I chose first watch because I love their avocado toast. I was so excited to eat here and wanted to sit outside, so the host took me out there and said the server would be right there. I am the only person outside so you can imagine how embarrassing it was when no one ever showed up. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited 10 minutes, but after that I got up and left. It was not busy whatsoever and I got seated right away, so there is no excuse as to why no one ever showed up. I will not be going to this location again. Maybe try the new location. read more

Never disappoints, the food is always fresh and yummy and always friendly service. Love the avocado toast (they have a good gluten free option) and they have really good salads too. Only downside is they don't take reservations - you have to be sure to get on the waitlist early if you're planning on going to brunch on the weekend. read more

Healthy and good. There may be a little bit of a wait but it is so worth it!

Lovely place for breakfast! Always packed but they get you in as quickly as possible. Our sever Alyssa was amazing to us and all the tables she waited on! Very courteous and prompt! Food was delicious. read more

First time here and it was really good. Large portions as well as a lot of variety on the menu. Carrot cake pancake was delicious, no syrup necessary for me. Bread was also delicious. Our waiter was really attentive as well. We'll definitely be back for more. read more

I look for a First Watch in every city I visit. Great food. Great service. You must try the Million Dollar Bacon. I never leave without having the Morning Meditation juice. Here, you can get meals that are healthy or comfort food meals and both taste great. Great atmosphere. Good for kids, a brunch with friends, or a quick breakfast date. The food and service is pretty consistent across different locations. I've been to locations in Florida, as well as Texas. read more

Great food and wonderful service!! I highly recommend this place! I did not know that the bacon would have maple syrup on top. Remember you can ask them to remove it unless you like it drenched (still good, just messy). read more

This is a great place for family, friends or if you just want some great breakfast !!! Please come here and enjoy !!! Thank me later !!! read more

My review is NOT based off of their food quality. We didn't even make it to a table. My sisters and I went for brunch this morning at First Watch. After waiting for someone to come up to the host stand (about 5 minutes), we were told it would be a 10-15 minute wait. 25 minutes later we were told it would be another 10-15 minutes. Almost AN HOUR later our table was ready. Super disappointed in the management this morning. read more

No gluten free menu, don't know how to cook an egg over medium. Brought poached eggs as hard boiled. Cheese grits were terrible. Total disappointment. read more

This place is incredibly good. It's very refreshing to find a place that makes the effort to put together a thoughtful menu with quality ingredients and healthy options. This is the best breakfast place in the metroplex. read more

Everything we tried was great! The service was amazing. The only thing is the wait times can be very long.

This is not the first time I have eaten here and have never been disappointed. I had the salmon on a bagel special and was very surprised at meal once it arrived. they did not skimp on the salmon and the bagel was crispy. This caught me off guard as I started to double guess myself before I actually ordered it. I will have to add this to my rotation along with the skillets they have which I enjoy as well. read more

My food was good, but the glasses and water jug were pretty dirty. I wish I would have gotten a better picture of the glasses we had. Idk, maybe I'm just extra picky about cleanliness these days. But service was good and food was a 4/5. read more

Food took forever and we couldn't even eat together because it all came at different times. We even had to take a sandwich that we ordered to go because we were all done eating before they even brought it out. read more

Four stars instead of five because they don't offer any special or gourmet coffee of any kind. I really needed a latte but there are none.

I enjoy the menu. Service is ALWAYS excellent. Considering it's a breakfast place you would think the kitchen could cook eggs. I almost always have to send them back. They never come correct! I always order over easy and notoriously one or both come broken and cooked through! They should be good at cooking eggs- considering... read more

Ahhhhhhhhmazing. I've been missing out big time. This is by far the best breakfast you can get in DFW. I had a favorite place before finding this one (Our Place), and it's really good, but First Watch blows them out of the water. Other yelpers have complained that it is expensive and honestly, it is indeed on the higher end for what you might be used to paying for breakfast. However, you get what you pay for. This is seriously delicious, fresh, high-quality, gourmet-type breakfast food that will make your eyes roll into the back of your head. I cannot stop thinking about my breakfast, it's ridiculous. I had the holiday special, Carbonara Benedict. You guys, seriously. I could not speak for the first 5 minutes. I even shooshed my husband to be quiet. This dish blew me away. It was my first time here, and I planned on getting the eggs Benedict, as it's my favorite breakfast dish, but I'm super picky about it. I ended up getting the holiday special because it sounded so good. It was beyond good. Like, to die for. The bacon was thick, tender, and cooked perfectly. The Parmesan cream sauce made my knees weak, and the eggs were poached to perfection. Someone in that kitchen gets a kick out of making people wanna slap their mama. My husband ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes and he also closed his eyes while chewing the first bite. Ripe strawberries, lemon cream straight from heaven, and the perfect amount of ricotta inside each large pancake made for a breakfast he won't soon forget. He almost stabbed me with his fork as I tried to take a third bite. The server didn't bring us silverware (we found some up front) and she forgot to bring us water as promised. But we didn't even care. She could have physically abused us and we'd still come back to this little slice of breakfast heaven. Ha! Seriously AMAZING grub. I cannot wait to come back for the smoked salmon dish, the man next to us got it and it looked incredible too. Super cute inside, someone knows how to decorate. All around awesome! read more

Sorry, they continue to break the one major deal breaker when it comes to plating breakfast. COLD plates! We have given them many chances and have concluded these were not one off occasions. Eggs simply do not retain heat on a cold plate. After the third cold plate exprerience we offered the constuctive critisism to our kind server, hoping word would get back and the habit would change. Sadly, his response was that they simply do not have the room to store warm plates. HUH? So, that was the third strike and won't be back. Just not worth the long wait for cold food. When food is served this way you are lucky to get down half of it. And who designs a kitchen without an ability to keep a plate warm? We are not eating cold subs for lunch here. This is also a deservice to the servers, all great by the way, as I am sure most would unfairly blame them thinking the food had been sitting a while. Seems like such an easy fix. read more

The food is great here. I'd give the food five stars. The service is good also but the front of the house gets really busy on the weekends and can be overwhelming. The inside is decorated nice and has a modern but rustic type feel to it. Just suggest getting here early or plan to wait a little while or longer. read more

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. One of the best breakfast restaurants we have found in DFW. Will definitely be back. Some of the reviews have complained about people being seated ahead of them, but if you go to their website you will clearly see that you can remotely add your name to the wait list so you don't have to wait as long. Some people just like to play the victim. Even if you do have to wait, it is well worth it. read more

I just finished eating and overall it was fine. I had the French toast with a side of bacon, the food came in about 30 minutes. It was cold and soggy, although the taste was quite nice though. Weird butter-like aftertaste which was funky but went away after 5 minutes. The wait to sit down was 50 minutes, like holy moly! The waiter was kind and patient which is a plus. Probably wouldn't come here again, but whatever. read more

If I could go here everyday for brunch I would!! They are open 7am-2:30pm. Service was amazing, greeted immediately, and all the servers have such a genuine smile on their faces! A lot of restaurants could learn grade A customer service here! I had the million dollar bacon- & let me tell you, If this is what bacon addiction taste like...call me a bacon addict! So crispy, love the slight pepper taste. And the drizzle of syrup was perfect! Sweet and savory, a must have! I'm also a avocado addict so the avocado toast completely had me drooling. Presentation was clean and beautiful! It had a sight citrus taste which was new but I loved it! And the egg was perfectly sunny side up! The ham & gruyere was absolutely delicious, the brioche Bread was the perfection addition to this classic meal. Paired with the fresh salad was a great idea for that palate. Please get the hibiscus limeade! It will simply be the best decision, it's sweet But not too sweet! And for summer...oh it's just the thing you need in this heat. Finally, PLEASE PLEASE get their MULTIGRAN LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES!! absolutely DELICIOUS! With that lemon custard and strawberries, I would go back and just get that! This place has such a warm, friendly, family vibe to it, i really enjoyed it. I can't wait to come back!! read more
