Hey gang. Cars in the shop, tummies on Echo. Needed to break the fast. GP has stepped up their game on hospitality and added a First Watch. Big YES. Why? Service here is consistently top notch. Food is also stellar. The picture in your head usually matches what's plated before you. Have never had a bad pour of java, or bad bite. This was a relaxing way to start my day. Stay cool. read more

We went for brunch and didn't have to wait for a table, even though it was quite crowded. Our server was friendly and on top of things, especially checking on ingredients for our dietary restrictions. I was excited to see the pesto chicken power bowl and loved it! The pesto flavor isn't overwhelming and was balanced out by the tanginess of the tomatoes. The chimichurri steak & eggs hash was also yummy. It's a good place to hang out with friends and eat good food. Glad we went. read more

First Watch - Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

Stepping inside to a lovely, spacious dining room and surprised to see an outdoor section as well! Everything was clean and there's a nice calm atmosphere. We had a large party after a graduation this morning, so it was a bit of a wait, but not unbearable. The staff were very understanding anf communicated to us the entire wait, even letting us know our options. They seated most of us on a long table and the rest of us in a separate table right behind the majority. I didnt get a picture of the delicious food (I was about to faint from hunger lol) but presentation was beautiful. Everything was cooked well and tasted even better. read more

I honestly think this might be the busiest location in the DFW area. It was so packed. I put a group of 5-6 on the waiting list and starting time said 45 mins to an hour. But the time we got there we were still probably waited almost 20-30 mins to be seated. The check in process was really easy. I just wish this location had more adequate seating for larger parties. It was raining and cold but since it was taking a while to get seating inside for our group we opted out to sit outside since it was covered. Another party of 2 outside were being served quickly so we decided to do it. We sat outside on the patio. It only had two heaters that weren't blowing very strong. It did take a little time for the hostess to come out to our table. I got the Tri-Fecta with scrambled eggs, french toast, and upgraded to million dollar bacon to try for the first time. Also got a side of the million dollar potatoes. I wasn't a fan of the million dollar bacon unfortunately, or the potatoes. Now the million dollar potatoes I've had better at another location. Everything else was good! read more

I went for a birthday brunch an hour before closing. Since I already knew where my party was seated I didn't really interact with the check in desk. Our waiter was very nice and sweet, letting us know what all our options were and being very patient. While we were eating he was periodically checking in on us. I ordered the Tri fecta plate but subbed the pancake for the tres leches French toast. The bacon was nice very crispy and crunchy. I asked for over easy eggs , and to me these were more on the over medium side. The French toast in my opinion even with the whip cream and strawberries was a little dry without syrup. When it was time to pay it was unclear where to pay (if the waiter was going to take our card or if we go to the check in table) we went to the check in table but there wasn't anybody there (at this point they were cleaning up the restaurant) so we paid online. All and all everything was okay. read more

First Watch - Tri-Fecta® sub the waffle with Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

The taste never misses, never fails. Whether I'm eating a regular like a huge pancake (multigrain, chocolate chip, regular, you name it!), or trying seasonal items, the flavor of the dishes at First Watch is always exceptional. I have no qualms with them. Except maybe the sadness I feel when the seasons change and seasonal items that I've come to love have to go away. Oh! I always get the potatoes on the side with my meals. Their pancakes (not burgers, I was sleepy lol) are a favorite item for me there. I love to get The Traditional or The Tri-Fecta breakfast classics. read more

The food was good but the portions are terrible. My husband got two scrambled eggs with his breakfast plate and that looked like maybe one egg, just didnt seem like a filling breakfast, unlike other spots. The pork sausage links were terrible. They werent cooked all the way through but their waffles were good. Im giving this spot 4 stars because although the portions were small, not all their food was bad and their bacon was delicious. Also because our waiter was really kind, attending, and made our experience a good one overall. read more

Had a good experience (as always)! This was my first time at the Grand Prairie location. Although the wait was long, the food came out not too long after we ordered. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I got the Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash - great quantity and good taste. It was on the speciality Fall Menu (which is about to end soon!). The million dollar bacon was, of course, sweet and hearty. If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend! read more

Really nice spot to enjoy breakfast brunch and/or lunch. We enjoyed the steak and eggs hash, grits, million dollar bacon and pineapple express drink. The bacon didn't stand out, as the name implies. I've had better. My favorite was the blueberry conbread wuth lemon butter! Nevertheless, everything was good and well prepared. I'll definitely be back. read more

This place was just kind of disappointing. The food was expensive, which wouldn't be an issue if it was good, but it was kind of just bland. It took a very long time to come out. We ordered unsweet teas, and our waitress brought us sweet tea instead and then took a really long time to fix it after we were done eating we had to wait probably 15 minutes for a check. We were sitting outside on the patio and it just felt like we were forgotten about because it seemed like that was the place where all the employees took their breaks to eat and they forgot there was actually customers out there. read more

I hadn't been to First Watch in a while. I noticed that they made huge changes in the portions and presentation of the food. I ordered the Trifecta breakfast platter. Although the food was not my favorite, I can't say enough about our sever, Brandon. He was exceptional. Also, the manager on duty, Dylan was superb. They were both very kind, professional, and deeply caring about making sure I still had a great experience when I expressed the differences I noticed in the food from my last visit. They both delivered first class care, and made me want to come back again to try other items on the menu. read more

Celebrated a birthday the food was just ok over priced and I asked my eggs to be cooked over medium and when I received them the white was still runny now I like a soft yoke but the white has to be cooked and I asked for syrup and it took the young lady around 5 minutes by then my pancakes were cold but she finally came back to correct me about the eggs per the kitchen but my thing is just cook them the way I like and stop schooling me about the eggs telling me that I really should have ask for medium hard but I don't like my yoke hard so I'm not sure if I will be visiting them again just a waste of money with the bad service I could have done a better job at home only thing we're good was the potatoes read more

Got seated and it took 10 minutes to get served, servers constantly passing by and just looking at us, when our server Catalina finally served us she gave us the nastiest attitude took forever to come back with our drinks, dropped off food and dropped of the check a couple minutes after didn't even check up on us, never came back to check on us and when we called her over because we weren't done finishing ordering and asked for the new donuts she took the recipet and crumbled it in our face. First watch is honestly a biweekly visit for us and never had we had such horrible service we couldn't even sit and enjoy our food because we were feeling rushed honestly so sad to have had this horrible experience. read more

Came in for brunch and was seated right away. The outside patio was nice and enjoyable. Xavier was a great server! He was patient, kind and kept a million dollar smile on the whole time. The food was delish. Highly recommend the million dollar potatoes. We also tried the Belgian waffle which was amazing. And the fresh juices are also worth trying. read more

A nice variety of breakfast foods. There are also lunch options if you're not a breakfast person

I'll start off by saying service was great. No manager presence on floor however, my simple order for me and my 2 year old daughter seemed to drag on longer that expected with a whole 9 top that was sat after us getting their food first. Expo? Management? Who knows what the issue was. For a place in hospitality to have no care or clue what was happening nor even the decency to address the ticket time today was lackluster at best. read more

This was my first time dining here. It was so amazing. I ordered the million dollar bacon ~ I was so good the sweet and the spicy just goes together taste just like when you pour syrup over your pancakes etc and get some on the bacon. That's what it taste like except with a pop of spice not too much it was the perfect combination. I also ordered a regular side of bacon which was much thinner than the million dollar bacon yet it was good it bacon!!!! The avocado toast and egg were good as well. The EVOO, lemon and sea salt added something to it loved it!!! The pomegranate Mamosa was just ok nothing special about it to me. And that's just that on that. THE PURPLE HAZE read more

I went on a Friday in the middle of November and they were more busy than I anticipated, but were quick to make sure people were greeted and sat. The staff was friendly and ready to help get me seated right away when I sat on the bench waiting for a friend to join me. I ordered the cinnamon chip pancake meal they had since it caught my eye online and I'd definitely say it was worth it for a sweet tooth. I also had a mimosa to celebrate my birthday and had no regrets of getting birthday brunch there! Would definitely recommend giving them a try between the friendly staff and clean open tables. read more

Everything fresh and hot!! Did wait list before leaving home and didn't have a long wait at restaurant!! Great customer service!!

A few of my friends decided to do a Friendsgiving at the last minute. So we decided to try first watch, which was my first time. We arrived, almost close to closing at 1:45, which closing is like 2:30pm. Our waitress was so pleasant even though it was almost close to closing. She was not rushing us, but she also made sure we understood what time the kitchen close, and when we have to have our orders in to be serviced. I wasn't that hungry, so I did just get like a kids meal which was not frowned upon. The French toast, sausage and bacon with the fruit on the side was good!! Lol next time I want to get the waffle I heard so many great things about their waffles. But I thought it was gonna be like a healthy brunch spot but it was actually really good so definitely I will be coming back. The service was fantastic. The location of this place was in a great spot with many other restaurants and also department stores. read more

Service was fabulous! Food was ethereal! I enjoyed the Belgium waffle like no other I have experienced. If you know, you well know I love waffles. At First Watch today my waffle was crispy and browned beautifully. I requested a sliced banana to accompany the waffle. Appreciate both service and food on this day. Tea glass was refilled quickly. Same with water bottle and glasses. Kale yeah was refreshing and just plain delicious, yeah! On this afternoon our wait time was an hour this after our check in with the kind and warm host! He clearly stated wait time would be an hour no less. He was spot on. But, we did not have much else planned for the afternoon. Happy to return. we should plan a Saturday visit not Sunday! read more

I came here with my Dad today who is visiting from out of state. It was busy, but we didn't have to wait which was nice. The food was good and there were a lot of choices. The waitress was nice and made sure everything was out and how we wanted it. The only issue I have with this place is the seating. Everything is communal and I just don't feel like having brunch with another random family of 4 lol. On top of this since everyone is so smashed together you can't really hear yourself speak. All in all I understand trying to increase the profit margins, but at some point you are taking away quality for quantity. read more

The food always taste really fresh and they have a delectable choice of beverages to choose from. Plenty of refreshing juices to get you started with your day or boozy drinks for some extra courage. It's a clean place to eat and the ambiance is welcoming. Great service as well! Only thing I will say is all the food generally comes out on the salty side(especially the potatoes) but of course that's a preference thing. read more

The location is popular so come earlier than seating is needed on Saturday... if during the week you should get seated pretty fast. The hostesses will let you know if they need your number and will text once a table is ready if there is a wait. I went on my birthday and a regular Saturday. The donuts are delicious starter, sweet and warm. I've always ordered hot tea so not sure about any other drinks. The restaurant is crowded but very clean and the seating is roomy. There are Weber's who greet you as they pass and quickly approach to take drink and appetizer orders to help your party to begin. The restaurant doesn't seem to offer rewards or birthday freebies but maybe in the future. My hubby was not a huge fan but I like it and will probably return for a solo date. read more

A business breakfast was a very nice and surprising dining experience. If grits are on the menu, I proceed with caution when ordering and have at least 5 questions for the server about how they are prepared and the consistency. Everyone ordered grits and I am glad I did. Even though they were stone ground grits, they were prepared perfectly- not gritty and grainy. They were creamy and tender, very smooth on the palate. I can't recall what everyone else ordered, but I had the salmon frittata, field greens, sour dough toast, and a side of the million-dollar bacon. The service was good and the server was attentive. The frittata was flat like a crepe' and I was expecting something thicker, w/more volume; more like a quiche, w/out the creme. I dont even think it was as thick as an omlet. It was a little different, but tasty w/the fresh herbs, salmon, and veggies topped with a chive creme. The bacon was plentiful (4 pieces) and a bit salty but very flavorable w/hints of sweet maple and peppery smoke. They forgot the dressing for the greens so I didnt eat it. Substitutions were potatoes or fruit. The coffee was good too-rich and w/body. It was not watered down. read more

Love brunch at First Watch. This was our first time at this location, and although the wait time is always an hour or so, the staff moved along people quite well. There was plenty sitting space for waiting inside and outside. Their patio was quite spacious although we did not sit outside. I am sure outside seating would be nice in the spring and summer season, as it is well covered and shaded from the sun. Parking at this location is much better than the one in Arlington and Heritage Trace in Fort Worth. Staff here were all very friendly and courteous. read more

Out where we live, we've not had much available to us in the way of breakfast spots that you would call trendy, healthy, or innovative. First Watch, headquartered in Florida, has well over 400 restaurants. Originally co-owners of Le Peep, the breakfast/brunch/lunch concept at First Watch is very much the same; but with an immense menu plus cocktails. We ventured out to a relatively new First Watch in Grand Prairie in Epic West Towne Crossing Shopping Mall on a weekday. You could see that they'd had a tremendous lunch rush; the place was still pretty full of people. We were first seated over by the entrance to the kitchen; but I could see that would be too noisy and I asked to move. I found a spot up front in a wooden booth. Our waitress was lovely and answered all our questions. I did find out upon checkout that the coffee is unlimited. I didn't see that anywhere. They bring you a carafe of water to the table with your menus. First-timers have a lot to take in with the menu. If you are certain that you want a more traditional breakfast, that will narrow your choices; but otherwise there is so much going on. We don't drink, so we could skip the cocktails; but they have many other beverages and juices to choose from. They have every kind of breakfast item imaginable, eggs, breakfast bowls, grains and breads and waffles and pancakes and if that's not what you want, they have lunch. I selected the most delicious egg sandwich. It could have been constructed better; but the ingredients were wonderful. The Elevated Egg Sandwich had an over easy egg with bacon, Gruyere cheese, Avocado, mayo with lemon dressed arugula on a Brioche Bun. ($11.95) It came with some perfectly cooked and seasoned big dice fried potatoes. My husband had the select 2 option for $9.99. He choose a 1/2 Roast Beef & Havarti sandwich that I had a bite of - thick, fresh tasting and scrumptious! The cup of the soup of the day was a white bean chili. It was very good. We shared the muffin of the month - Blueberry. ($2.85) The Blueberries in this muffin were huge! Moist, it was tender and held together well; but served room temp, so the butter I asked for didn't melt. Coffee was $3.50 a cup and brought to the table in a carafe - exactly two cups. This First Watch has one large main room with tall ceilings. A green banquette separates part of the room; with mostly tables and chairs throughout and a few large wooden booths along one wall. There's a small covered outdoor patio on the north side of the building. It's new, clean, fresh and busy. The food was served hot. Service was satisfactory. The menu is incredible in terms of variety of offerings. It's a little too noisy for me and maybe a little too franchise-y; but it's interesting and has healthy options and is in a good location for us. We'll be back. read more
