Big fan Great menu love the selection. You can eat healthy or pile on the calories. You're choice. Reminds me of something I would find in my native state of California. Although a chain. Feels local. read more

My family and I have lived in the Franklin area for a little over a year before we found "First Watch". We love the menu and the food is top notch. We will be back! read more

Every time we go to this First Watch, we have terrific service and delicious food with healthy options. I love that they keep a seasonal menu going, in addition to their regular menu. My favorite breakfast place!!! read more

The banana and granola pancake is not to be missed! It's huge though--make sure you have room!

If you are anywhere near Franklin avoid this place at all costs, literally a terrible experience from the moment we walked up, got nasty looks from all of the customers and there was a wait out the door. Must be a place for locals which we are not because everyone seemed stuck up. Not a good vibe at all. The staff was dismissive and rude and the ONLY reason we stayed was because we were so hungry. The wait was supposed to be 30 min and it was an hour. We were seated at a dirty table with only two water glasses, the waitress took FOREVER to get to us and then brought the wrong food. Food itself was average at best. Never come here, waste of time and a headache. read more

Truly an amazing gastrointestinal delight. If you are anywhere near this spot, without a doubt, try it. I had the chickichanga breakfast burrito and it did not disappoint! read more

Yeah... Franklin has our own First Watch. Everything is so fresh. Never had Quinoa before... Loved it. My husband liked the Chorizo breakfast. read more

Quinoa with chicken, goat cheese, dried cherries, and balsamic vinegar based dressing was divine. My daughter's grits with andouille sausage and shrimp was incredibly tasty. We will return. Gotta try the quinoa with pesto chicken. read more

Terrible iced coffee and horrible oatmeal they used instant and it was dry and tasted like paste. To confirm that it was instant you could see 6 boxes of Quaker instant oats prominently displayed on the kitchen shelf. (Too bad I didn't see these first!) The omelet my husband had was fresh and our server was sweet. Not going back. read more

Have eaten here twice and the wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The wife loved the Tri-Athlete and I had the bacon and onion hash. I would order this again and we will be back. read more

Good service. Good food. Pancakes were huge. Sausage links were tasty. Coffee was great! No wait. I would come back.

I love First Watch! The pancakes are LARGE and fluffy and delicious. All of their egg dishes are scrumdiddly-upticous. I have not been for lunch only breakfast/brunch. I loved the pumpkin pancakes in the fall. The multigrain is good all the time! Breakfast scrambler is great! My only complaint I had in 5 visits was that my English muffin was too hard--maybe it was toasted too long? Maybe it legit was stale but whatever they replaced it with a perfectly great one! read more

Carol and I had a terrific breakfast at First Watch in Franklin, TN. We each had a "hash" dish, she the Parma and I the Market (I believe I am correct on the names.) We added an order of turkey sausage links. The price was $30 for the two of us, perhaps a little more than we normally spend for breakfast out, but no complaints here. There was more than enough food, the service was great, and the environment very pleasant. We want one in Louisville, KY. We have not tried wild Eggs, in Louisville, KY yet, but suspect the overall environment may be similar. Had a great time. read more

This was a very clean restaurant with good tasting breakfast food. The service was great, even though it was bustling on a Saturday morning. I would highly recommend this place, and will return to explore the menu. read more

This place is amazing. Great food and service. I recommend the avocado toast. The food tastes and looks fresh.

One of the best places for breakfast or lunch with a wide variety to fit all diet and nutrition needs. The staff is always wonderful and courteous. read more

Great coffee, fresh food, amazing service. Will come back again and again!The traditional breakfast, as well as the Turkey burger are highly recommended. Joining the line on Yelp was super convenient! read more

Love this place! It's simple stuff, but I'm convinced I could not make avocado toast or biscuits with turkey gravy taste that good! It is a little pricey, but lively with excellent portion sizes. Their seasonal and blueberry pancakes are wonderful! I didn't give it 5 stars because we go there 1-2xs/week and the service is inconsistent. There are a couple of waitresses in particular who consistently keep us waiting for 5 minutes before even taking a drink order to linger at other tables to chat. Frustrating enough that we have ventured to one of the other 3 locations. read more

My favorite breakfast spot in Franklin! The staff are always friendly and efficient, and if you can't find something you'd like on the menu there's something wrong with you. Vegetarians actually have some choices here, too; not just pancakes. It's a bit noisy, but far more tolerable than J. Christopher's and the food is way better. Free Wi-Fi to pass the time during your 15-20 minute wait during peak times. Sign up for their emails and get a coupon for a free meal on your birthday as well as other frequent discounts. read more

Our salads and fresh pressed juices were delicious! 5 stars for the food and juice. 1 star for the service. Our waitress took almost 10 mins to even greet us, Didnt bring water over until our juices came. So sat for 15 mins with nothing. Kitchen also messed up my salad my boyfriend was basically finished with his before she even came over to check on us and return mine. Didn't ask how the food was or the juices or anything, No excuse for the crappy service cause the place is tiny and it wasn't busy. read more

I love the food here, but they are not dog friendly in their patio, so beware of you want to have a meal outside with your pup. Pretty ridiculous that pets are banned from outdoor spaces. Thumbs down. read more

On our visit to Franklin for the Pilgrimage Festival we ate a heavy brunch at both First Watch and Tupelo Honey (located in the same shopping center) to avoid lunch food lines at the festival. Each place had its pros and cons. But overall, I'd say they are comparable in terms of price and quality. I thought the prices were in line for the quality of food and the atmosphere. My best friend ordered the juice thing? with tumeric and beet juice and such...and it was SO GOOD! Probably the best thing we had, even though everything was really good, fresh and hot. I liked that the eggs benedict was served on a substantial, toasted ciabatta roll rather than a thin soggy muffin. Lemon ricotta pancakes were also super. We did wait a long time to receive our food, but that might have been due to the busy festival weekend. read more

Had the Bacado omelet, my wife had the breakfast tacos. The meal was fantastic and the service was stellar (Alex was our server). The multi grain toast was amazingly good. Highly recommend! read more

This is the best First Watch ever! Michael and his crew take extra special care of the customers on top of the food being excellent and healthy. We eat there frequently and will continue to do so. Thanks to all the great folks there. Timothy King read more

My favorite breakfast place around. Great value, super fresh , fantastic/ friendly/ prompt service.

Eh just so so, we went for lunch and got lunch food. Maybe we need to try the breakfast though. We will definitely go back to try out the breakfast options, until then I vote a 3-4, nothing spectacular by any means. read more

I honestly love the food at First Watch! Great menu selections but the food is usually delivered lukewarm versus right off the grill. They have THE BEST waffles in Nashville but every time I order them they are delivered with a scoop of butter that of course isn't melting because the waffle isn't hot. So I started ordering egg dishes because I really want to love the place. And fortunately, the same issue - I can't figure out if the issue is the cooks or servers take too long to deliver the food but it is an issue. They also have darn good coffee, which is always hot. read more

If you want fresh food, delicious combinations, and friendly servers then this is the place for you. It's nice that there is a restaurant that has dishes that aren't the standard bacon and eggs plates read more

Great location; love walking here from work. I've always had great, polite service and the food is always delicious! absolutely loved the pumpkin pancake here! They have super healthy to super hearty choices, and I love the super cozy vibes from this place. read more

Very happy to see some healthy alternatives in the Nashville/Franklin area. The was a wait however for a party of 2 we only waited 15 minutes. The service good and the food was hot and fresh. I got the Chickichanga with eggs whites and it was amazing! The other person in my party ordered the Beefeater and raved about the Parmesan-crusted sourdough. We will definitely eat here again. read more

Always a great experience there. Great food and several options for vegetarians/eggetarians. They gladly replace meat with other items.

Great food! I love going there for breakfast. I get the energy bowl which is fresh fruit with yogurt and granola. There is great food quality and even better service. read more

Incredibly delicious breakfast/brunch spot. Amazing menu, great ingredients, excellent service. Boom.

So many interesting things on the menu, it was hard to choose. There was something for everyone in my family. Location is very close to the Drury Plaza Inn, Frankllin. If I lived nearby, I would be a regular. read more

First and last time. Just finished breakfast. No biscuits or gravy in this market hard to believe. Potatoes were way too salty. My wife's fruit bowl-about half edible. Back to Cracker Barrel read more

I love breakfast. Portion size was large for me. I usually change the ingredients and they were just fine with that. Food came hot and tasted great. Service was good, no issues. read more

When we arrived today around 12:05, we were told there was a 15-20 minute wait for our party of 3. As we waited, we noticed several empty, dirty tables waiting to be cleaned. After almost 15 minutes, I approached the counter to let the host know there was a table close to us that was still dirty and empty, yet they had several parties waiting for tables. Shortly thereafter, the bus person cleaned the table and it still sat empty for another 5 minutes before we were seated there. Right away, we noticed the water glasses were not cleaned well, as there were lipstick marks on them. We alerted the waitress who brought us different glasses with our water and tea. Those glasses also had lipstick marks. We informed her again, and she finally brought clean glasses with our drinks. We began to order, then she informed us they were out of potatoes for a side item; this is their signature side item and one of the only reasons I like First Watch is their potatoes. She gave us the option of a side salad or fruit. Instead, I ordered French toast. My table mates ordered an omelette and a breakfast chimichanga. The omelette was tasteless. My French toast was also tasteless. When I poured the syrup, the lid fell off into my plate and syrup drenched my toast. The French toast was a little soggy in the middle as well. I have had a tummy ache since eating it today. I will not return. Very poor service, unclean dishes, and poor food quality as well as not being able to provide signature items from the menu has left me with a bad taste in my mouth. read more
