Fabulous brunch, first-rate service by Supattra, pleasant seating outdoors on a gorgeous day. Memorable!

I had the seasonal Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast and it was amazing. I also love the chimichurri steak bowl which I've had multiple times. Both seasonal dishes you can't go wrong with for breakfast/brunch! The service was quick as always and theres indoor and outdoor seating. read more

First Watch - Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast - Cafes Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Like every other time that I stopped in for breakfast, they did not disappoint! This dish was tasty, with parmesan cheese, a parmesan sauce & bacon over hash brown potato cubes and 2 eggs, I went for over medium (perfectly cooked) with some fresh arugula to add a hint of color with a slightly peppery hint. Overall, this is one of my new favorites here! Highly recommended! read more

Nothing special or out of the ordinary at First Watch. Food was average as was the service. No issues just the basics.

All First Watch restaurants look the same. This one was clean as expected. Staff greeted us with a smile. Food arrived after a small wait. This location was a close proximity to our hotel and attractions . The food never disappoints. Everything was hot and made with fresh ingredients. We will be back the next time we are in town read more

Breakfast with a Buddy Friday morning and everything went well. Our orders were well prepared and delicious. The service was exceptional. Although we might have kept the table a bit longer than we should have as the place got busy, we were not rushed at all. To the contrary, our server repeatedly offered coffee refills and didn't do anything to suggest that she'd rather we left the table. At the register, the gentleman who took payment was engaging and despite the busy around us he didn't get in the way of taking care of the customers in front of him. It's been a while since I've experienced such a throwback restaurant experience ~ it was certainly appreciated m! read more

Arrived famished after waking at 4 am to catch a flight to BNA Warm and welcoming staff Prompt service Hot coffee I always treat myself to eggs Benedict when I travel so barely looked at the menu which I will take full responsibility for The CLASSIC eggs Benedict is anything but All I noticed was tomato which I asked to delete After that it was ham not Canadian bacon, ciabatta not English muffin and not toasted that I could tell Hollandaise was cloyingly lemony so not a true classic sauce but the eggs were perfectly poached ham was plentiful and I ate it all Would I order again? No because I love a classic EB and only a classic Fruit on the side was amazing Would I eat here again absolutely Would I order this item nope read more

We waited 45 minutes to be served, both meals came out cold, the coffee was ice cold and the service was poor

Delicious breakfast place staff is knowledgeable about the menus. Highly recommend this breakfasted place. Not super healthy but sometimes it's nice to eat out. read more

The quality of the food and friendly waitstaff are amazing. We had Maxwell and he walked us through the menu and customized our order. Great guy and friendly. Front of house gentleman was considerate and accommodating. Oh yes again the food was fresh and delivered promptly read more

Been a First Watch fan for nearly a decade now, this was maybe my 2nd or 3rd visit to this particular location. Two of us came on a Friday lunch break and were able to get immediately seated, it was moderately busy. Our server was quick, attentive, and friendly. We ordered and enjoyed the Shrimp & Grits from their 2025 summer menu - and felt it was outstanding! Also, went with my classic order of the Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl - I sometimes crave the savory flavor with the house roasted cremini mushrooms and tomatoes - they really sell it for me. The sausage lacked flavor, I could go without it and enjoy the bowl as equally as I did with it. We were a little cold inside, maybe bring a light cover up when the AC is on. Regular visitor tip - get signed up for emails and birthday rewards, they actually comped the more expensive entree for the birthday bogo meal, what a gift!!! read more

The old woman with the dark hair at the host stand was very rude. I have never been to this restaurant before and placed an online order that said it would be ready at 8:36. I arrived at 8:50 and stood in line around five minutes before she came back to the stand, and then when she asked who was next, I just said that I was there for a pick up order. She gestured toward the shelf that I didn't even know existed and said "well obviously it's not ready yet." Then when I told her that it said it would be ready around 15 minutes ago she just told me "well those times are never accurate" and again pointed towards the shelf and said "so it's not ready yet." Finally got my order 40 minutes after I placed it - 25 minutes past the quoted ready time. Disappointing first experience. read more

Great for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Very casual and family friendly. Healthy choices. Good service. It's a Local favorite chain.

Brunch alfresco for us on this visit. Crowded inside but several empty tables outdoors - with a cool breeze to boot! It has been a while since we dined here, but nothing has changed... Great service, delicious, food, and decent prices. Note: the word staff was pretty slammed with the crush of customers inside, so we sat for a few minutes outside. But in the blink of an eye, one of the "wait staff supervisors" came to our table & took both our drink & our food order. That's great service awareness. My delicious salmon, eggs, Benedict. (a delicious variation from the traditional ham/Canadian bacon), came out perfectly cooked. It was served on a ciabatta roll that was slightly toasted, but a bit too chewy and hard to cut. Probably would've been even tastier on more highly toasted, ciabatta or sourdough. Home fries were spot on but over salted for some palates. My dining companion's eggs were cooked well, but the avocado "cold" toast was a bust. (That's about the only stumble in our meal.) It was great to be back in the loop of dining out. read more

I love First Watch but this experience was not the best. This restaurant has practically no service. The waiter didn't give us clean utensils and she didn't come back after the food was given to us. We waited a few minutes and then I had to get up and get them myself. The restaurant clean inside and the food was good and that's the reason they get 3 stars. read more

First Watch - Blueberry Lemon French Toast + Market Hash Bowl - Cafes Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Coffee was ok. Ordered a mimosa and sever forgot and never brought it. Omelet was fine.

I typically order from this place once or twice a month and I order large meals every time. I live nearby so it's only a two minute drive to pick my food up. Generally, I order before heading to work so I can pick up my food along the way. Well I don't know what happened this morning but I was waiting 30 MINUTES!! THIRTY MINUTES for a BOWL OF HASHBROWNS! As a result I was late for work and only had two minutes to hurry up and eat my food. I ordered my food at 9:17 and I didn't get my order until 9:43 and that's only AFTER I requested a refund. They made my hasbrowns in two minutes from the time of my refund request. So this morning I'm very upset and just telling any workers out there that pick up breakfast before heading to work to be mindful..... you might have to wait thirty minutes for some damn hashbrowns read more

This chain is not going to operate very long serving like this. PICTURED: A very SAD "Million Dollar Harvest Hash" missing FIVE ingredients with the wrong kind of potatoes (supposed to be sweet potatoes), 1 lousy piece of bacon chopped up, TWO lonely mushrooms, (I dare you to find them in the pic ) -- and two bites of kale. Million dollar my ---. What happened??! I don't get it. MISSING: arugula, hot honey sauce, goat cheese, lemon dressing, Monterey Jack. This million dollar harvest isn't worth the million. It was Missing half the ingredients! MISSING FIVE ingredients -- this wasn't even close to what I ordered. read more

First Watch is a great spot for brunch and I have been excited to see the group expand beyond their Florida roots into Tennessee and beyond. Their breakfast menu has everything, but I always get the Eggs Benedict with a side salad, a Bloody Mary, and a side of the cinnamon donut holes to share with friends. Their staff is awesome and they make the wait well worth the squeeze although you want to get ahead of the tailgate crowd on weekend's wherever you brunch during college football season. read more

Very good breakfast spot. The menu has a pretty good variety of options, so everyone can find something to suit their needs and preferences. I had the avocado toast, which was excellent with a generous helping of avocado. It was a little salty, but to me that was a very good thing. The eggs were a little over-cooked, but the server also didn't ask how I wanted them and I didn't think to call it out. The restaurant is very pleasant, and service was prompt and friendly. While I have other favorite temptations for breakfast in the area, I would certainly be happy to return to First Watch to try out some of their other menu items. read more

First Watch - Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich, featuring Million Dollar Bacon - Cafes Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Our family has visited First Watch restaurants for years. They offer healthy and delicious food with a variety of choices for any eater. Friendly service is a standard at all the locations I've been in. Today's visit would have been a 5 star, but the dish I ordered was not at top freshness. I had the salmon frittata but it was missing roasted tomatoes. And the greens along side had very wilted leaves and were hardly dressed at all. It was a pile of plain mixed greens in essence. We had great service and it was a beautiful December day! read more

I have been here over a dozen times. I have celebrated birthdays here with brunch, had family breakfasts, and just enjoyed a sweet treat during a rough week. I'm always thrilled with the service and the food. The seasonal and weekly specials are always fantastic. The staff is lovely (Reagan is a wonderful server who I highly recommend). The vibe of the restaurant is homey and welcoming. They also have accommodation for gluten-free, vegan, and other diets/restrictions. read more

Pretty terrible. The place is very busy, but the coffee was some of the worst I have ever had (and it's a brunch place!) potatoes were greasy and undercooked, bathroom is pretty gross. The kids loved the hot chocolate but chocolate chip pancake was dry. The waitstaff is friendly and very hardworking. Only great things to say about everyone from the hostess to waiters to runners. I've been to other First Watch locations and the whole experience was much better than this location. read more

First Watch - This was the hole in the wall in the bathroom stall. Around the toilet was nasty and paper all over the floor. - Cafes Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

I normally love First Watch, but this location probably is not the best. Given it was a Saturday morning, customers were lining up out the door. This is normal for most First Watch restaurants, so I got on the waitlist and waited 30 minutes for a seat. We ordered the Parma Hash (my favorite) and Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict. The eggs in both dishes were heavily overcooked; the poached egg's yolk was basically hard boiled, and the over easy egg in the hash was not runny at all. I wasn't a huge fan of their summer menu item either. The sauces on the quesadilla made it soggy, and by the time we received our food, it was lukewarm. I did enjoy my iced coffee, which was light, creamy, and mildly sweet. For the 30 minute wait, we were a bit disappointed. Our servers were nice, but obviously very stressed from the brunch rush that came before us. read more

Well, third day of trying something new. Today I Had the elevated egg sandwich and was served by Tyler who did a fantastic Job. Tyler refilled my water without me having to ask and offered a great recommendation when he saw I was hesitant on what too choose. I really miss Marcus who use to work here, but am happy he moved on. Can't wait to come back and try something else! Probably tomorrow :) Y'all foodies have a great day and be a little kind to you're servers! We go thru stuff too! read more

Been coming to this First Watch for over 4 years. Sadly have seen and tasted the quality of food coming out of this kitchen go down. Today is an example. I was served burnt sausages. Was told by the server she decided to send them out anyway. Her reason, was some people like them burnt. Instead of asking me she just assumed. UNBELIEVABLE and the worst server in common sense. The manager was worse. Showed them to him and he just had a weird look on his face and walked to the kitchen. Never came back to say anything. He was forced to talk to me when I paid our bill. Just said "I asked and really got no answer." WTH!! you're the manager. DEMAND better. No offer to remove the cost from the bill. No effort to make it right. I did finally ask for bacon. Guess that seemed the answer to them. Our potatoes were not done. Still crunchy raw. Needless to say, we will never go back. Not Just because of the food but the attitude of the server and manager SUCKED big time. read more

First let me say that First Watch has been my favorite breakfast for over 7yrs...really I was my favorite in STL and had been favorite up to today Mother's Day. The wait time was great (we got online on the app before arriving to ensure prompt seating) before being seated...maybe 10 mins tops. We ordered immediately as we wanted to ensure we had enough time to make it to church. We sat and watched all others (that came in after us) be served their meals. At 10:44 after being seated for at least 20 mins I checked the WAZE app to see by what time we needed to leave First Watch by to make it to service. We did not receive our for for another 30 mins and when served my bacon had guacamole on it and NONE of us ordered guacamole (who's plate did they get the bacon off of? ). My cheese grits did not come out with my food and when it did there was more cheese than grits. No we were not able to make it to service ..... disappointing start to my Mother's Day. Thanks First Watch read more

Joined the waitlist online, got the text, showed up at the scheduled time to discover that we were not on the waitlist. Crowded as heck. They added me to the list after I showed them the text, but meanwhile kept seating other people ahead of us. Also meanwhile a huge line congregated at the doorway to pay. The whole operation is a mess. Bad experience. Wish I could say better. Food was good. read more

Today we went to breakfast before church and it was Mookie (spelling?) who served us so well! She was joyfilled and animated and kind! Service was excellent and everything tasted so so yummy. I didn't love love the crab avocado toast but usually always love the regular avocado toast. It is probably just me cause I hate onions and the pretty punk color is pickled onions according to my husband. Anyway, try anything on their menu cause it's ALL gonna blow your socks off. Yum to the max, y'all:)) Love this restaurant and so grateful for Mookie!!! Bless y'all! Blu read more

First Watch - Crab avocado toast - Cafes Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

This was my first visit to this particular First Watch. I do like that if you have the app, you can put yourself in line before you arrive. That was a bonus on a Saturday around lunch. We were seated in a booth that had obviously been cleaned in a hurry. My sister ended up sitting in something that stained her outfit. I had a puddle of syrup on the table in front of me. My mom was stepping on crayons that were left on the floor. Menu items ordered for our party of four -- a Market Hash, a Farmhouse Hash, a Cobb Salad and a Monterey Club with a side salad. The Market Hash was advertised with all of these vegetables but in reality, it was a bowl of potatoes. We were counting each time my sister was able to find another vegetable in the bowl that was not a potato. She found three pieces of mushroom--YAY! My Monterey Club was just okay. I think the bread should have been toasted. Whoever made the sandwich did not do a good job making sure things were placed on the sandwich evenly--either that or I was given two halves from different sandwiches. I ate the first half and did not realize it was missing avocado and tomato until I looked at the second half that I had not eaten. The visit was just a disappointment. We could have had a bad day but I was not impressed at all. Too bad because I've seen a lot of positive reviews. read more

Woke up needing a good breakfast and there were two First watches within 2 miles of my hotel. We were seated immediately in spite of the restaurant being full. I saw the Morning Meditation drink go by my table and had to have one. Did not like the taste: Maybe the beet juice or turmeric was too healthy for my liking... I got the Eggs Benedict BLT and while tasting good, eating it was hard... The ciabatta bun was hard and too dry for me, the tomato was al-dente but I prefer one that is cooked and the bacon tasted fine but was hard to cut through with the bread. As a eggs benedict lover who makes them regularly at home, try substituting the million dollar bacon cut in pieces below the egg and on top of the hollandaise, cook the tomato, add avocado on the bun before the bacon and choose a round toasted bread or cheese grits as the base layer. See photo for an example.. My wife got the Avocado Toast and it tasted as good as it looks. Overall, I like First Watch a lot as a restaurant. I just believe the taste/execution of some dishes could be improved... read more
