To start off the bathrooms in this joint smell like burnt toast I mean I going to the bathroom and I thought I'd be going in there for a nice peaceful afternoon and then blame Burnt toast smell Second of all I'm pulling out my chair to sit in a nice seat they have and then the chair goes skurrrt like that rap song the youngins listen to I'm mean it's gonna give me a heart attack and not to mention I would have went full deaf if I didn't turn down my hearing aides A third remark what is wrong with these plates I mean I'm trying to cut my nice avocado toast and like the place wobbling all over and then next thing I know the avocados go slattt all over my nice Calvin Klein briefs I mean OK another thing about the plate is like what was the designer thinking not making round plate with concentric circles like what the heck like it's not even straight my OCD is kicking in last and final point is man those tacos really give your stomach a little run for it's money I go home and splat my poop is all over the toilet and flowing out I should send the bill to first watch and have them pay for because now my commode is destroyed I barely made it to the toilet before it came out Sincerely Johhnny James yelp is my game Johhnny James is my name. read more

My favorite place to go for breakfast! Everything on the menu is delicious and I love all of the healthy options they offer. Their iced coffee is the best! I join the waitlist on the app to help cut down our wait time, especially with having kiddos who start to get antsy while waiting to be seated. read more

My husband and I visited First Watch this morning. There was a 30 minute wait but we decided to sit outside and enjoy the weather..we were seated after about 15-20 minutes. It took a while for our waitress to come greet us, but it was also nice because we had time to review the menu and order drinks and meals at the same time. I tried the kale tonic juice, it was delicious. It had kale, apple, cucumber and lemon, I believe. I ordered the avocado toast which was 2 pieces of toast with smashed avocado, sea salt and a lemon wedge to squeeze on top. It also came with eggs, totaling 8.99. I thought that was a bit expensive, however it filled me up and was very tasty. I also ordered a side of their potatoes for 2.99 because I thought I would still be hungry. I didn't even need them because the toast and eggs were so filling! My husband had the brisket hash, which was also very good. It had potatoes, eggs, roasted onions, kale, maple bbq sauce and of course brisket. Our total for avocado toast (8.99), kale tonic (3.99), side of potatoes (2.99), and brisket hash (9.99), we paid 28.61 plus a $5 tip. Only downfall was that our waitress didn't really come to our table at all to check in and our drinks were empty for majority of the meal. She was nice though and it was very busy so I understand! We will definitely be back! read more

This place used to be a Good Egg and we didn't realize it had changed hands until we walked in the door. First Watch is a small chain (I think) but they focus on healthier and more locally-sourced fare than your average breakfast joint. There was an unsurprisingly long wait on a Sunday morning but we could have sat down at the community table. The service was friendly and prompt, especially considering the volume of people there. I could have gone for a larger portion size for the price but we were hungry to begin with so that might not be fair. I ordered something off of the specials menu with bacon and eggs and was pleased overall. I had to hunt to find something on the menu that came with potatoes since a good portion of the dishes come with greens as a side. If you want a reasonably sized, relatively health breakfast this is good, but if you really want to fill up this isn't the place to be. read more

My girlfriend and I and I go to the first watch in downtown Phoenix the place is great the food is great and they have these great morning drinks for anti-inflammation that they serve That are out of this world read more

The food is always fresh and great tasting. The service is attentive and quick. This is by far one of the best breakfast places on this side of town. read more

Came in on Sunday and I ordered the avocado toast which came with eggs. Both were delicious! I also ordered the millionaire's bacon, which is extremely crispy. So if you are not a fan of crispy bacon do not order. My husband ordered OJ and blueberry pancakes. OJ was great, however the blueberry pancakes were dry. Large pancakes though, they did not skimp. Also the syrup is watery. So it didn't help the dryness of the pancakes. Will still want to come back to try other menu items. read more

Overpriced, medocre food. Our service was dreadful and I wouldn't eat here again if it was free. So disappointed

My favorite breakfast spot! It packs a double whammy - the food is fresh and delicious, and the service is just the best. The waiters are all awesome, but Zac and Greg in particular go out of their way to make me and my crew feel welcome - they even remember my name and my crazy special order. Highly recommend! read more

Tried this place for breakfast yesterday..Food was delicious and very fresh.. plenty of seating and nice decor. Service was excellent! Maybe a little bit overpriced.. read more

I had breakfast there this morning and it was fantastic! Arrived about 10 and it was packed about 25 minute wait. Our server was very friendly and was attentive just enough not overly attentive. Coffee was great and tried the meditation drink, which interesting. I had the breakfast tacos, my husband had the chickichanga and we split a lemon berry pancake. It was all amazing, very much worth the wait! read more

Great food and nice atmosphere. Wait time on a Sunday morning was about 30 minutes. Lots of seating for people waiting which was nice. Food was fresh and delicious. Toast was thick grain bread with fresh strawberry preserves. Side of fruit was a nice touch. Ordered the Parma Hash and loved it. Can't wait to go back and bring friends. I was surprised by the other reviews as we had a great experience all around. read more

I have been going to first watch for over 20 years and love it. We went to this location on fathers day and it was great. I had the heirloom tomato toast, its new and i loved it. Iced coffee was also very good. I miss the over lightly crepe that has been taken off the menu. Please please bring it back...poppyseed dressing with the sprouts on top. That was the best crepe ever and everyone i ever brought there has loved it. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I have become obsessed with this place. The food is always yummy as well as the iced coffee! The only problem I have is the customer service. I came for lunch with my boyfriend this last weekend and our server (didn't say her name) was completely unfriendly, unsociable , and just seemed like we were the last of her worries. It took a few minutes for us to get our drinks, and once our food was dropped off our server checked on us once then immediately dropped the check off when we still had half our meal sitting Infront of us. She was also taking care of the booth behind us and did the same thing to them as well, the tables water was even empty and the gentleman had to ask another server close by for a refill! I'm a server myself so every situation stands out but my boyfriend even noticed and made a comment. Still love the food though lol read more

Every time I go to first watch the food is amazing, service is sometimes not the best. This past time I went, I had Zack for a server. He was hands down the best server I have ever had. He was very knowledgeable. Greeted all of his tables fast. Got us all drinks fast. He was very kind and checked in on us frequently. He handled getting triple sat very well and professionally. I will go back and request him as my server. read more

So happy to find healthy food in AZ! I like to eat clean and this was not that pseudo healthy type stuff. Real, good, food. Keep it up!

We called ahead of time and got our name on the list. We arrived twenty minutes later and still waited another 30 minutes. There were tables everywhere that were open and not bussed for large amounts of time. The amount of people waiting was immense, yet there were tables with no one sitting at them for long periods of time. I've been to other First Watch's before and never had an issue. This one seemed like there was a lack of management and could easily run smoother. It took over twenty minutes for our food to come out after ordered. Then to much dismay, the food was ice cold. I was very disappointed because I was taking my family out to breakfast and spoke highly of the place, just to be let down. read more

Food is great but the service was very slow. This is my second visit to this location. After being seated, the wait to ask about drinks or if we were ready to order was very long. Then when we received our food it was the wrong items. This Visit I waited ten minutes for someone to ask if I want anything to drink. read more

Every year we head to Peoria for Padre Spring training. This is a MUST breakfast spot.

This is our go to place after church! So yummy and healthy. Use their app to get a place in line! Saves so much time not having to wait to sit down! read more

Returned for Birthday lunch. Meal was a disaster. Crab & asparagus omelette was ordered. Crab was brown and from a can. Tomatoes were from a jar, asparagus was tough and a day old. cheese was tasteless and meal was sent back. Field greens had oil and no seasoning. Gave it one star because multi grain bread and jam was good. Also turkey club with bacon and cheese on sour dough was tasteless. Sour dough was white bread. Clam chowder did not have fresh clams in it. Will not return. read more

I love getting brunch with friends here. I've never had bad service or food. It's close to home and it's extremely affordable!

whyyyyy did you guys take over The Good Egg?! 100 times better than First Watch. i've come here multiple times and i have no clue why, each time it's been a bad experience. i ask my waiter (Zachary) if they have swiss cheese, he replied no. so i ask what about provolone, he says no. he finally says they have havarti so i tell him that'll work. when the omelette comes out i taste the cheese, it's disgusting. i love havarti and this was horrible. i ask him about it, he comes back and tells me "i'm so sorry i guess it's horseradish havarti," it ruined the whole dish for me. $10.56 wasted. the ambiance and look of it is nice, but they're trying way too hard. the menu is terrible and confusing. the omelettes say they're served with a side of greens, but really you get to choose that or potatos. the best breakfast place is Black Bear, i promise you'll love it read more

Not sure why there are bad reviews on this place! The food was super good and quick to get to our seats. My mom got the breakfast sandwich and I got the Floridian french toast. Both were very good. Their coffee was also super tasty! The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was really quaint. Not too loud either. Overall very great experience, we will be back! read more

Came here for breakfast for the first time with my sister and dad. The food was amazing and we really enjoyed it. On the other hand the service was terrible. The hostess seemed like she did not want to be here. Then the waiter barely came to check on the table and did not smile once the whole time we were there. He took 20 minutes to get water and then took another 20 minutes to actually come back to get our order. Honestly getting breakfast should not have taken this long. read more

I wish I could give this a five because our server Rebecca was the sweetest ever and we had great service from her. On another note , the hostess that was tall with dirty blond hair that was seating so so very rude. When walking people back she would race to the table and leave before they even got to the table. I work in a restaurant myself and I know that the extra two seconds it takes to make sure the guest is comfortable at their table can make their day. This especially frustrated me when she raced to the table and an elder couple was still at towards the front as she sped walked into the kitchen and back to the front desk, so that proceed to seat themselves. Also , seating a couple with a baby , she never asked if they needed a highchair or anything, she sped walk away again, leaving the family to look for the highchair themselves. That is not good customer service and I think it needs to be remembered that first impression at a restaurant is important. Your customers pay YOU, you dont pay US to eat at your restaurant. read more

The inside is beautiful. Feels very warm and homey. My fiancé and I came here for breakfast recently and had mixed feelings. He is definitely the healthy one and I love carbs so I feel like we get a good review of a place. He got an omelette with toast and was very happy. He loved everything on the menu. If you are healthy this place is for you! I It was hard to find something other than salad and vegetables on the menu so I got a waffle and eggs. The food was good. The waffle was delicious but the eggs were a bit chewy. The bill came to almost $30 which is a little much for breakfast for me so we will be back as a special treat. read more

Not sure this is a good bet...there is something called a wait list where you can sign in from home and get seated BEFORE people who have already been waiting for 30 minutes!! Next time won't use the waitlist...I just won't go!! read more

The ambiance is fine. They seem to be going for this kind of retro industrial look that does not really work fort me, but it's open and bright. The food is tolerable, but the real disappointment is the fresh juice bar. I tried a beet juice concoction, and it actually tasted pretty good, what little there was of it. It must have been two thirds ice. I asked the waitress about it because I felt so jipped and she explained that that was how they were instructed to make it. read more

Is this a heath food place? Menu is incredibly confused and pretentious. Breakfast should be simple and not overly complicated. Not everyone likes avocado or whole grain artisan toast. We literally looked at everything on the menu and nothing sounded good. Waitress took way to long to return and take our order. So we did what I haven't done in years, and walked out not eating anything. Based on the reviews I've read on here, looks like we made the right choice. read more

I love coming to the first watch the food is so good, my boyfriend and I come every Friday or Saturday. This was my first time coming on a Saturday and it was really busy which I understand. I gave them my number to text me when my table was ready and sat in my car since there was nowhere to sit inside. I got a text from them saying that they would text me when my table was ready. I ended up waiting 40 minutes in my car in 110 degree weather and finally went inside to see what was going on. They told me heir system had been hacked yesterday and the text message system was not working. At this point I was very annoyed because why did they not tell me this before I waited in my car and put my name on the text message list. After this the service was still very great and delicious and I got my food very fast. I still love this place just wish they would have communicated better about the situation. read more

From such a good experience the first time this second visit was a complete flop. We walked in at 10:45 to a full waiting room and a hostess telling us it would be at least 20 minutes to being seated. Looking around we saw three empty tables in one area two in another and what looked to be a three empty in another area. We then asked if we could be seated on the patio as there was only one occupied table out there that we could see. We were informed it wasn't a good idea as it would be a long wait to get service. What's happened to this place, bad management,bad help ? To have enjoyed the food and service enough to go back again and after a wait just getting up and walking out if I was the manager I'd be ashamed that my customers were treated this way. read more

Mediocre. Service really sucked. Only thing that helped them out was their food was pretty good. Unique options like avocado toast and juices that most other places don't have. If you can, avoid getting Greg as your server at all costs. We sat down and the glasses on our table were already used/still dirty, he tried to tell me I was wrong till I showed him the glass with full lipstick stain on it. Shut him up real quick. Three tables sat and got their food before he even came back to get our order. He brought us new glasses of water and still another had lipstick on the side. Don't blame your dishwasher to cover your ass, just apologize. I have an allergy to eggs, and tried to ask what I can substitute (most places will sub any side except protein like bacon, which is always fine with me). He was not understanding at all, didn't try to help me find an alternative and made me feel like it was my fault. I wish good egg was still th read more

To say I was unimpressed is an understatement. We were seated to wait for an inside table... while waiting two people walked in who seemed to know the waitresses. They were seated before us and another party that had been waiting. All three parties were for two people. This was the beginning of a not so great experience. We were seated and waited for our waitress. I ordered my omelette and asked for egg whites & no cheese. I also asked to sub the toast for fruit and add a side of bacon. The order came out fairly quickly with a regular egg omelette and cheese in it. The fruit "side" was a dipping sauce cup with fruit... and the side of bacon was two slices. To be fair, I did not say one word about it because I was hungry and didn't want to wait. The egg whites and no cheese was a preference not a allergy issue. Everything was really good taste wise and my friend enjoyed her food very much. Then the bill came... that side of bacon was noted as "Add meat 2 @ 1.49". I asked the waitress if that was correct and if it really was 1.49 per slice or bacon. She said "Yes, I know crazy right? It's 1.49 per slice of bacon. I added it as an addition rather than a side so it's actually cheaper for you, a real side is over 5 dollars." I just nodded and said, "Ok, just making sure..." She then continued to say, "Well... I hope I rang that up right, I mean I don't mind if I rang it up cheaper for you." I was just so disappointed and very perplexed at that point. They did ask me the classic how was everything when I went to pay, but I just could not begin to have the conversation because of how frustrated I was. As much as I want to like the place I absolutely will not be back to this location. read more

The sandwiches were tasty, but the service was horrible. We had a 15 minute wait for a table. While waiting, we noticed that at least 6 tables were empty. When we were seated, it took 10 minutes for our server to arrive at our table to take our orders. She promised to be "right back" with our drinks. After 10 minutes, she dropped off a small carafe of water (without ice), and we used the two baby-size glasses on the table to pour our water. We noticed that all the other tables that had water were in tall glasses with ice and lemon wedges, so we wondered about that. It took a full 45 minutes until the first of our two simple sandwiches arrived, the second arriving 2 minutes later. During this long wait the server never returned to the table (but breezed by at least a dozen times) to refill drinks. I had to flag her down to ask for a refill of our small carafe. With so many eateries that serve great food and provide real service, we decided that we would not return to this establishment. read more
