My dining experience here was top notch from the second I walked in. I felt instantly welcome and right at home. The service was excellent and swift. The food was warm and cooked to perfection. I'm so happy to finally have a breakfast place so close to home. read more

We love First Watch and try to get there every weekend for breakfast. Mary is our favorite server! She knows our orders by heart, is fast, friendly, efficient, and obviously takes pride in her work. No matter how busy it is, she makes sure all of her customers are taken care of without delay. Everyone there is great, but we always request Mary, because she is hands down the BEST! read more

Great breakfast with lots of healthy options I had the pear cider and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and prompt. The decor was clean and farm themed. If I lived here this would be a regular spot! read more

Amazing fresh food! Long waits, but if you get there by 8am you can usually be seated right away. I recommend everything on the menu, lol, but I'm especially fine of the triathlete omelette, and The market hash skillet is amazing too!!!! This place is well worth the wait yummm read more

Same good egg feel, same good egg faces, but NOT the same good egg taste. Not sure if the cafe is trying to make a move towards healthier food but it wasn't as flavorful as before. And way over priced!!! read more

Today we came in to eat and felt the server was extremely rude. The server tried to almost rush us out, she didn't check up on drinks. The French toast was undercooked. I felt that this experience was a bit sour due to our server. The drinks however were great but again we only had one. I may go back again and see how it is but this was not a pleasant experience in what I assume to be a good restraunt. read more

The food here is good but the place is in disarray. The last two visits saw long delays to get seated while there were several empty tables, and then lengthy delays to get attended to. Today we waited 40 minutes. There were people queuing outside, people waiting to check in and people waiting to pay all while there were 4 empty tables and and empty booth that were empty for at least 15 minutes. All while wait staff had nothing to do. We ended up leaving. read more

Have only had good experiences here. Food is always on point, it can get a little crazy during the weekends though. Expect a wait if you show up on a Saturday or Sunday morning. You can keep track of where you are in line via Yelp so usually we'll head off to Starbucks to grab a cup of coffee and chill. Service is usually very friendly and the place is extremely comfortable, I love the rustic decor. read more

Great experience with tasty food and exceptional service from Ian and nice outdoor environment!This is the place to come for breakfast or lunch with a variety of menu items. We tried the fresh juice, a skillet dish and a special breakfast dish. read more

Gave the restaurant a second chance, and the experience was so much better. We got our food quickly and it was still hot, like it had just came out of the oven. The server checked on our table multiple times, and the costumer service was great. Definitely will be coming back after that experience :) read more

Food was good. I Like eating there and tried something different. It appeared that the Eggs for the Eggs Benedict didn't go as well as the cook intended....so the eggs were partial eggs. Loved the Potatoes! Will go back to my usual. Breakfast Tacos are AMAZING!!! read more

Generous 3 stars... I've been eating at first watch for over 15 years including the original in Florida. I don't know if the company will actually read these reviews but they need to get their act together over here on Happy Valley. Half empty restaurant with a 30 minute wait on a Saturday morning makes no sense. If it was full I would get it completely ( I'm not that customer ).Food is ALWAYS inconsistent. Come on First Watch, you are better then this! read more

Had it for the first time today and it was delicious! Highly recommend trying the chickichanga! Has chicken and choizo inside which was an awesome combo! I also had the wheat toast with a very generous amount of avocado on top! (I love avocado) and to top it off they have cholula hot sauce!! A big plus for me because I hate Tabasco hot sauce!! Thank you Mary for serving me today! The staff is awesome! read more

I have been there and received great customer service but the second time I went there was horrible. We were there for about an hour, was sat down outside and our waitress was poor. It took forever to get our drinks and we were waiting so long that it even took long to get refills. About an hour later the waitress came over to say that they 'lost' our ticket and that our food had not even been cooked yet! Despite many times she came over saying it will be right out, and silly me thinking she was actually checking on our food- she wasn't. I was so appalled by this service that we just chose to leave and proceeded to call the manager on our way to eat somewhere else. This was unacceptable service that our food was never prepared in the hour we were there. I will never be back to this location. read more

One of my favorite places. So glad they have so many options to differ themselves from any other chain. I come in about once a week and get something different each and every time. Never been disappointed! Great staff always attentive. read more

This is my favorite brunch spot, and I come almost every weekend. The food is consistently good and the servers are friendly and prompt. However, things have declined over the last month. You have to wait a long time to get checked in and one of the people that check you acts like she's really bothered to have to do it or to seat you at all. I'm thinking of finding a new favorite weekend brunch spot. read more

Rose, you rock! What excellent above and beyond service! Thanks so much for making our dining experience wonderful!

Tasty. Distinctive. Great food, nice atmosphere, quick & friendly service. Visited twice during current vacation. Nice outdoor seating on second trip. Looking forward to our third. read more

My boyfriend and I go here almost every Saturday. The wait staff are all friendly and recognize us. The service is fast, precise, and friendly. They talk to you just enough and leave you be once you're satisfied. I love the food and they are very accommodating for substitutions. I haven't tried everything because I've found the Farmhouse skillet is my favorite and I have a hard time trying anything else! But I have had the avocado toast as well and it's delicious (hard to mess up). They have simple ingredients, not a huge menu, and great coffee and juice. It's a really relaxing atmosphere! read more

Great menu choices, healthy options. Bacon is delicious. Large portions. Nice atmosphere. Popular joint for gathering. Jellies and jams seemed to be homemade and taste yummy. Beautiful presentation on the plate. Acai bowls, omelettes, waffles, pancakes. Friendly staff. read more

Service with snark, how hard is it to scramble eggs? My eggs were more fried than scrambled.

Austin was the besttttt he actually acknowledged my 8 month old son ! Asked if he wanted any food lol also I spilt some water and he actually got me some napkins without me asking. He knows how to take initiative! Love this place read more

Food is amazing and service is even better. This is my moms favorite restaurant and she goes weekly. I would not say I'd go once a week but definitely have no complaints. read more

Refreshing variety. Great place for brunch. Food is creative and delicious. Service is great.

We have been to this location 2 or three times and each time we figure we will give it one more chance. Well today the food took foooorrrever.... the eggs Benedict were terribly over cooked and they kept putting steaming hot plates of food directly in front of our 13-month old. I feel like they were short some servers, but it seems to be the trend. We did politely notify management but they didn't seem terribly concerned nor did they offer any fix. Tough to find a good breakfast place. read more

I live in So Cal but every time I come to Arizona I come here for breakfast. It's my favorite place. I love all their options. They have organic and gluten free choices. Service is friendly. It's definitely not a place if you are rushed though so take your time and enjoy. read more

Literally the worst service from a first watch. I normally go to the one on 83rd and 101 which I will continue to go to. Melinda was probably the rudest waitress I've ever had, rolling her eyes at myself and my 2 other mama friends with little babies. We felt so uncomfortable and unwanted just because we had babies with us. Great food will always love the food, but I've never encountered someone (mind you I'm 24 and she was in her late 50s maybe) around my moms age to be so rude to another mama with a baby. Wow, just flabbergasted. read more

I was so excited to spend my birthday breakfast here but after waiting 40 minutes to be seated, I wasn't even offered a drink. The waiter saw that I already had a drink from when I went to Dutch just before to get my free birthday drink. She didn't even greet us correctly and only gave us two glasses and silverware when we had 3 people. We didn't even stay to eat because of her attitude. Will not be back. Dissatisfied. read more

Absolutely horrible service. Kelsey dropped off our check without saying anything, before even getting to take a bite and still missing some of our food, didn't check in or ask how anything was, as well as the menu said my food came with 3 tacos, and she gave me two because I switched from corn to flour, but I was unaware I would be getting less food from switching tortillas, would've ordered something else. Food was good, but service was so bad I will never be coming back. read more

Today was my first time at this location and it was just as great as the peoria location. I decided to try something different this time and got the chikichanga. It was absolutely delicious! The decor was cute and our waitress was outstanding. read more

Food was really good. We enjoyed everything ordered for a family of 3. French toast was the stand out I think.

I have to say it's definitely not the same and odd to have a salad with breakfast and they do not offer buttermilk pancakes that was awesome to have when it was good egg. So overall disappointed and wish they kept some of the good egg items. read more

Quick to sit and order, nice atmosphere with a dog friendly patio! We come at least twice a month to enjoy this location

Love this place. Food is great. Service is even better. Everything tastes so fresh. It's our new go to breakfast place since we just moved to AZ! read more

This is a reliable place for bfast in the north valley. What i like most is that it is not all syrup and batter-- they have healthy options as well. My fav is getting a half checken salad sandwich and half salad. Its tge perfect place to go before or after its only open until 2) the waterpark. read more

I usually like First Watch, but this location seems to be cutting corners when it comes to the freshness of their food. Both times I've been, my side order of fruit was rotting to the point it was smelling bad. I ordered a sandwich for lunch, and the bread was so dry it was either old and expired or it had been sitting out all day. It was supposed to be fresh bread, not toasted, and it was literally crumbling in my hands as I picked up my sandwich. I'm very discouraged because typically First Watch has good food, but I think this location is more concerned with saving money than serving quality. Sad read more

This was our first time trying First Watch. The food was pretty good, but the breakfast potatoes were extremely salty. I mean, so salty that I physically couldn't eat them in a bite by themselves. I had to mix them with something else, in order to make them edible (and I am typically a salt person). My boyfriend is not a salt person, so he pushed them aside altogether. We arrived about 35 minutes prior to closing, so our server was more interested in getting the restaurant cleaned and ready to leave, rather than serving us. Drinks sat empty for an extended period of time and he didn't check in much, but he was friendly. I suspect that the experience might have been better, earlier in the day. Overall, a pretty good meal and we will give it another try. read more

For the money, this was a very poor breakfast. Eggs were way overcooked, sausage was really bad made from chicken or something.

This is our go to spot after hiking thunderbird mountain. They are dog friendly and Mary always takes great care of us. The food is great, but Mary is one of the reasons we keep going back! read more

Food is a 4 and service is a 2. Recommend avoiding weekends. Also had to ask for avocado that was in the description of the dish.
