I went here this morning with my friend to have brunch. Tried the barbacoa eggs benedict and it was AMAZING!! My friend had the chickichanga and she said it was also very good! I cannot wait to come back and eat here again. Service was also fantastic! We need one of these out in Navarre. :) read more

Sooo yummy and the staff is excellent! I love the juice drinks! Everything I've had tastes wonderful so far.

The chickenchanga was really good! Service was fantastic. Nice place for breakfast. 10/10

We were headed to the restaurant and had a dog with us. I joined the waitlist ahead of time and called to make sure I could get a table outside. The girl on the phone was very nice and said it wouldn't be a problem. I arrived at the restaurant to be told they didn't have a table outside for an hour. (They were about to sit a 7 top that just walked in before me and hadn't joined the waitlist- That didn't need to be sat outside.) Don't have a waitlist you can join ahead of time if it does literally nothing. read more

The food is great. Several healthy options, or you can pig out with pancakes, waffles, and bacon. The food is not the problem. It's the service. And it is not the fault of the servers. It's a management problem. The waitresses are bussing their own tables, they are playing hostess seating new customers, they run the register, they clean sweep and mop all while trying to be an attentive waitress. And we constantly had to call our waitress over for something not because she was inattentive but because she was nonstop fulfilling other duties that should have been done by other staff members. First Watch is trying to cut corners and maximize their profits by eliminating positions and stacking those duties on the backs of already busy waitresses. It's not fair to them or us the customers. The ambience is great. read more

I really do enjoy this place. The food is always delicious. The staff is always amazing. I will say that there will probably be a little bit of a wait just because it's so popular. I always enjoy the purple haze lemonade. Biscuits and gravy is always delicious. I literally don't think there's anything on the menu that I would not eat it. It is delicious. Sorry, I don't have photos for this one. I always enjoy the food and eat it before I can remember to take a picture. sophisticated, modern and inviting. read more

Traveling as snowbirds from Wisconsin. We stopped for breakfast at the First Watch in Gulf Breeze FL. We had the Eggs Benedict which was excellent. Our server was Mackenzie who did a fantastic job. Very personable and efficient. We will stop back when we are in the neighborhood again. read more

I am visiting the area and went to this place for breakfast on Oct. 18th. I had the BLT eggs benedict and my friend had an omelet with a blueberry pancake. The food was great but my friend didn't receive her pancake (in the end it was a good thing because the omelet was enough to satisfy and we weren't charged for it). The menu is small but diverse for all types of diets. The service was great and I don't remember our server's name, she was fantastic and very personable. The decor was simple and clean. Very inviting. It wasn't loud so we didn't have to shout across the table. I would like to return during my next visit. read more

UPDATE: Service is way better! Tried the chia pudding this time--really good. Eggs with American cheese were also great. So, either the food has improved or I've figured out what to order. -- Old review -- Great drinks, mediocre food (note: we have only tried breakfast), bad service. We've been here no less than four times and have had the same experience every time. Unfortunately, that experience is less than satisfactory. The drinks are fantastic--especially the iced coffee. The mint mocha is delicious. The juice drinks are great. In fact, they alone grant a star. Now, the food: I've tried the traditional breakfast, the Italian style omelette, and the specialty millionaire hash. People I've taken here have tried other items such as the biscuits and gravy. I'm not sure what it is, but the food seems a little... off. It's missing something to push it past mediocre. I wish I could pinpoint it--issues I've noticed are undercooked eggs and under-seasoning. The pancakes, while large, are not exempt from the under-seasoning issue--even the seasonal pumpkin pancake. The waffle is not good. None of these issues affect the millionaire bacon or biscuits and gravy. That bacon is easily the best item on the breakfast menu, and the b&g is good. Service is just strange. There's an odd vibe in the place, some of the seating is claustrophobic, and it's rare to see a server come to help you. It takes a while to be served drinks and food, let alone have your order taken. I've never encountered such a strange atmosphere--the servers really seem stressed and uncomfortable. I wonder if it's a management problem? I will be trying the one twice as far (9 mile rd) and compare. TLDR: My recommendation for this location: get a couple of orders of millionaire bacon and juice drinks/iced coffee and you'll be set. read more

Overpriced, nice farm to table concept but very bland. Coffee was also very bitter. Staff was not super helpful.

The one visit made was very disappointing compared to other locations. Be prepared to wait 15 minutes before you see a server for coffee or water. The food lacked quality and portions were less than other locations which equals no value. The atmosphere was horrible and servers just made you feel that you were taking up their time. Would try this location again but not sure the issues are corrected read more

GOAT! Lemon Ricotta pancakes are the best! Food came out hot. Service was fast. Great experience every time!

Great place! I do work for the company, however somehow they made us feel like family and took excellence care of us while we were dining in. The GM was friendly on top of his job. Will definitely visit again when we c9me back to the beach. read more

Excellent food and Service was great and the juices were out of this world. My family was in Florida two weeks ago staying at the beach club and we loved the first watch restaurant for breakfast so much we went there three times. Every time was superb. The waitress each time was so friendly and helpful Wish your restaurant was here in Northern California. Thank you for the wonderful breakfasts. read more

Delicious and great service. Very convenient waitlist feature on Google. Highly recommended.

First pancake cold!! Second pancake my husband bit into to a screw!!! Yes a SCREW!!!Not going back and the manager said a fan broke. Still not an acceptable excuse!! read more

Slow Inattentive Service............ Lukewarm Coffee............ Overcooked Frittata. .................................

Save time & get in line online. We had five people for breakfast on a Sunday morning & were seated right away when we arrived because of signing up in advance of arrival. We had great service & the breakfast was delicious. read more

Eggs cold but the customer service was horrible. Server wouldn't bring me a straw despite asking her twice, concerned with two other tables that came after me. read more

Top notch food and friendly service are the first two things that come to mind when I think of First Watch in Gulf Breeze. Everything we ordered was delicious on its own and some of the items combined in interesting and delightful ways. Our meal was reasonably priced and the whole group was raving as we left the restaurant. We hope this place stays open for a long time so we can keep coming back to try everything on the menu. read more
