    Bob's Red Mill Cheesy Grits

    Did take-away. Mains were solid, cheesy grits seemed old and dry. App locked brightness too high, I had to wear sunglasses to order.

    Raspberry Ricotta French Toast
    Stephanie V.

    We tried First Watch here in February for the first time ever and we were very impressed. It's on my list of good local eat options now. This restaurant chain just has all-around good basic brunch items that will satisfy any kind of eater. The food is freshly prepared, and the juice is fresh squeezed as well. There are lots of health-conscious items that are also flavorful on the menu. For example, I cannot have egg yolks at the moment, and even though this spot specializes in egg items, they have plenty of options for me as well. We ordered: - BLUE BOOSTER FRESH SQUEEZED DAILY LIMITED SPECIAL JUICE - BLUEBERRY, FUJI APPLE, LEMON, BASIL - fresh and delicious and I love the large fresh whole basil leaf garnishing the drink - RASPBERRY RICOTTA FRENCH TOAST SPECIAL to share - Thick-cut, custard-dipped challah bread griddled and topped with fresh raspberries, whipped lemon ricotta cream, raspberry purée and spiced gingerbread cookie crumbles. Lightly dusted with powdered cinnamon sugar and garnished with mint. What can I say about this? The pictures say it all - it was amazing and delicious. Exactly how French toast should be prepared. - CARNE ASADA HASH SPECIAL - Thinly sliced carne asada, crumbled chorizo and diced red bell peppers in a potato hash topped with two cage-free eggs any style, Cheddar and Monterey Jack, housemade pico de gallo, fresh avocado, shaved radish, cilantro and jalapeño crema. Served with two warm wheat-corn tortillas. Hubs loved this and ate all of it. - 2 for You: 1/2 sandwich 1/2 salad - Roast Beef & Havarti sandwich & Chicken Avocado Chop Salad. I was happy with this order. It wasn't too much food and everything tasted really good. Service is really friendly and great here. There's plentiful seating, either table or booth, plus a shaded patio with tables.

    Staple breakfast place in most cities. Been to this place in Dallas, Savannah and now Glendale. Service is always good, food tastes good with great options. The place is always buzzing and be prepared to wait at times. As for this location, the staff was very sociable, food came out fast and we were able to get back on our way a quicker than we expected. Only downside was that my shirt got stained from dirt or grim on the edge of the table. Suggest the staff not only wipe down the table tops but also the sides.

    You truly can't beat the quality of food here. My girlfriend and I are regulars. Alondra has been our waitress the past 2 visits and is great.

    Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl Million Dollar Potatoes  Market Hash
    Mimi M.

    Wow, I've never really been a fan of chilaquiles but I wanted to give it another shot and the chilaquiles here was delicious! The tortilla chips still had a nice crunch but there was still a perfect amount of drizzled sauce. The eggs were perfectly made -- still soft but not mushy. This dish was definitely nutrient-dense and helped me reach my fiber goals for the day! The staff were very helpful and made sure my meal was completely gluten-free, as I have a gluten sensitivity. It was quite packed in there but we were seated very quickly. I would definitely recommend this spot for those that love lively places with friendly staff members and delicious, healthy breakfast options.

    Delicious lemonades, lavendar one was my favorite (some are seasonal so keep that in mind). Very popular so we had to sit at the bar but was still very comfortable and clean. Friendly staff, the pancakes and french toast were delicious!! They also had little ice breaker cards at the bar which were pretty fun! Definitely worth a visit.

    Fun checking out different places when you visit out of state! First watch didn't look like a restaurant from the outside, but do yourself a favor and step inside! Open and airy and a wonderful breakfast/brunch/lunch spot! My first time did not disappoint! Buttermilk Biscuit, Turkey sausage and gravy with a side of cheesy grits shared with my daughter - the biscuit was HUGE and had made in site! Buttery and rich biscuit with amazing savory Turkey sausage and gravy. The american potatoes were amazing as well! And cholula to boot! Our server -and everyone was attentive! Didn't complain when we asked to switch tables lol and just very sweet!! Immaculate cleanliness too! Definitely stop if you're in the Westgate area!

    We are staying at the hotel close by for a convention and decided to go and have breakfast here. It was very packed. We waited about 25 minutes to be seated. Our waitress was very sweet and very accommodating. Apologize for the wait took our drink orders asked if we had any questions about anything since it was our first time being there she was very helpful. We went ahead and placed our drink orders receive those pretty quickly, went ahead and placed our food order. Everything came out so pretty great presentation and everything was absolutely delicious in house made watermelon drink was so good. I'm gonna definitely regret not being able to get that again since I do not live in Arizona I am from California. The Strawberry Tres Leches French toast was so good! Perfect sweet The honey caramel crunch coffee was perfection! Even though it was very busy it moved pretty quickly and the vibe was great! I would definitely be back if I'm in Arizona again

    Chorizo omelet and eggs Benedict

    Pesto chicken quinoa bowl
    Colette C.

    Service is always good at this location. The food is mostly up to par with the flavors. Clean establishment, which I appreciate. We ordered a side of smoked bacon, the pesto chicken quinoa bowl, and their trifecta plate. For my choice of protein, I chose the chicken apple sausage patties with scrambled eggs and added an extra egg. Everything was a delight! Waffles came with a cherry sauce.. or perhaps it was blueberry? It gave the waffle a nice sweet hint of flavor combined with the butter! SOO Good. As for the quinoa bowl.... AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS AND HEARTY indeed! The pesto sauce mixed in has popping flavors, very fulfilling. I would come back just to eat it again.

    The works omelette bacon on the side.

    Always her first choice for weekly Saturday brunch with my 81 year old mom. This week was especially special. Her first brunch out after losing dad. The service was outstanding and coffee was hot and the coffee pot is so nice to serve our own refills. The Barbaquoa bowl is out of this world so good. Even my mom was impressed. Thank you First Watch! We will see you next week!

    Sweet Honey Pecan and Broccoli Cheddar Soup
    Danyelle A.

    My coworker friend turned me on to this place and I fell in love. The Million Dollar bacon, grits, and there was this sausage, egg, avocado, Million Dollar bacon crescent sandwich with cheese and syrup. OMG!! These are my favorite things on the menu. Bring back that croissant sandwich! It was so delicious. I've only eaten in the restaurant once, it's cute. Pickup is fast, workers are friendly. The Westgate location is always jumping. So get in line on the app, or order takeout! The salad and soup were okay. Definitely not my favorite. Won't order it again. But, it did get me full.

We both loved the food! Since it was a Sunday, I knew it'd be busy. I figured it'd be a good idea to check whether Hash Kitchen offers a way to join the waitlist online. Luckily, they do! I joined ahead of time and we arrived about 30 minutes later. While there were tons of people waiting for a table outside, our table was ready within minutes of us checking in. We were promptly seated and our waitress did not take long to take our order. I wasn't sure how long the wait would be after ordering, but it was surprisingly quick considering how busy they were. We ordered the Boujee Biscuits to share. Those were delicious! It comes with three kinds of butter, but my favorite was the salted caramel one. We also each ordered the Best F#*%ing Birria Hash and shared a stack of the Buttermilk Pancakes. Everything was so good, but I especially loved the Birria Hash. Once we finished eating, I was able to pay by scanning a QR code on our table, which was really convenient. I can truly say we had a great experience.

When we arrived, we were told the wait was one hour and decided to go to the bar to start. BEST DECISION EVER! The absolute best service ever! Marissa and the other bartender (I didn't get her name, but sweet and awesome!) They took such good care of us, we will definitely come back next year. Menu recommendations: the beer battered cheese curds, brownie and creme brûlée deserts. The entrees and drinks we ordered were off a seasonal menu, but I'm sure the regular menu is similarly great. Make sure you get the cheese curds though! Chef's kiss

Downstairs host was nice, asked if we wanted to eat upstairs or down. We decided upstairs. They just told us to head up and talk with the host. We went up. Someone from the bar did shout hi! There was no host seen. There was a handful of workers chatting at the bar even the downstairs host came up and walked by us to join the group chatting. Upstairs had 2 tables of 6-10 people, a handful of small parties outside. We stood there for 4-5 minutes before someone in a St. Patrick's day outfit running food said someone would be with us shortly. Waited another few minutes before the host emerged from the bathroom and sat us. Both my husband and I waited tables and I bartended before (10 years experience). We have a lot of patience and understanding. We were sat and not immediately greeted but a woman came up and quickly dropped water off. Her body language was dismissive and only said just "dropping off water". I really thought it might have been another host or busser, that was tired of getting mistaken for a sever. I brushed it off. We waited so much longer before our server (happened to be the same girl that dropped off the water) came back to take our drink order. She was cold and didn't make eye contact. She was very short with us. Left to put the drink order in. She did bring the kids their soft drinks, but again with an attitude. It was as if we were ruining her day by coming in. 10 min went by. In that time, we saw her walk by and again avoid eye contact. Not even a "your bar drinks are being made", or "I am just going to run these dishes back and come back to take your order. " A really nice bartender came back and started talking with us about baseball because we were coming from a spring training game. After waiting longer and still no sign our server was going to come back in a timely manner, I told my husband, that I would rather leave now and not let this server ruin our experience. There are plenty of places around that I would rather give my money too and they will treat us better. We left, on our way out we did let a manager know. They did apologized and asked where we were sitting. Two stars for the nice female bartender that was decked out in St. Patrick's day attire upstairs. Rating is strictly for service because we didn't get to try anything. I am willing to give this place another try. I will update my review if we do.
