    Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs $15
    E C.

    Friendly service and clean restaurant. But I ordered the salmon eggs Benedict and one of my two eggs was a hard boiled egg! It was an unpleasant bait and switch. The manager was informed but never stopped by despite waiting for over 30 minutes.

    Ham & Gruyere Melt with potato's.

    Visiting our daughter and son-in-law in Hampton and wanted brunch before heading out of town. First Watch is consistently a good choice! Breakfast snd sandwich choices. Great Holiday menu with drinks too! We got the Trifecta and the Ham & Gruyère melt. A mimosa and a coke to boot! All Yummo!! The service was super friendly and it carries a modern crunchy vibe. Festive for the Holidays! We even heard a very loud rendition of Happy Birthday to the General Manager! We thoroughly enjoyed!

    Our server was amazing (Mar - not sure on the spelling)! She answered questions, asked questions for clarity to ensure we got exactly what we ordered. The food was food as always. I had the holiday special - Double Bacon Parmesan hash. I wish I had more cream sauce and the potatoes were not as soft as at other locations. Nonetheless, it was good and I'll order it again!! They have a decent amount of tables. I like how they decorated the photos as gifts in the holiday season. I'll be back!

    My favorite breakfast place. Service is always awesome. Restaurant and the bathrooms are always clean. Also the little stickers they give out randomly are adorable.

    We were seated right away, at the last hour of the days business, with almost a full house. Quick and friendly service. Food was served fast and hot and fresh. A pretty busy place with lots of staff, good to see. Cute decor and clean.

    The Traditional.   Two over medium eggs, turkey sausage and potato's.
    Scott B.

    Well as most of my followers know I'm not a fan of chain restaurants but I've always liked the First Watch locations I've visited and the Hampton location is no different. Today the wifey and I both got the Traditional. Both with 2 eggs over medium, turkey sausage and potato's. As for the meal - it was very good and hit the spot. Let's talk about service because that's what really shined today. Our server - Zachary (Zac) was absolutely great. I mean this fella greeted us at the door and sat us down. 2-3 minutes later he was collecting our order. Within maybe another 3 minutes we had our drinks and maybe 8 minutes later we had our meals. Zac checked on us several times and kept our drinks full. He was outstanding. Now here is another kicker. During our meal another person (lady) didn't catch her name, I'm assuming a manager, came to our table and the tables around and made sure our meal and time there was good. That was a very unusual service and I noticed how rare that was. So basically a real descent meal with outstanding service. As for the location. It's in a strip mall and had plenty of parking. The restaurant appeared well cared for and clean. We didn't use the restrooms which is often a real tell of a location. So listen if you're hungry, go ahead and give this place a try. I don't believe you'll be disappointed.

    The food was amazing only fresh ingredients my first time here and can't wait to go back! Our service was awesome. Meals are $12-18 dollars and worth every penny My first time to Hampton Va

    I really liked this place! I visited my daughter and we stopped for breakfast and were so impressed! Clean restaurant, friendly staff, and really good food. You gotta try them!

    Hibiscus punch and mint mocha iced coffees
    June J.

    Use the app online to check in faster before arriving! I live First Watch! It's me go to whenever I have time to brunch on the weekend. We went this time to use a gift card we received. I loved the new drink they had, the hibiscus punch. Very refreshing! I was also super excited about my favorite pancake, cinnamon chip. However, it was a little burned. I know the chips make it a different texture, but I didn't eat over half of it because it just was too hard. It was very disappointing. My husband enjoyed his burrito and the rest of my breakfast was delish. 4 STARS! I know I'll be back and this was a fluke. I still love First Watch!

    Jennifer was amazing. Super dope server who was hilarious. My first time at this location. My food was so good. Service was top notch. I chose the turkey bacon sandwich but subbed for the million dollar bacon. Great choice. We'll be back STAT!

    Those pecan pancake joints
    Lasonya J.

    Yes...just yea. Highly recommend. The staff were great and friendly. Food was fresh and fast. Menu easy to order.

    Carnitas quesadilla
    Sarah M.

    Although first watch is a chain, we found ourselves feeling well taken care of and the food was delicious and fresh. Our server was great, very sweet and attentive. I got one of the "hash" breakfast dishes while my husband got one of their seasonal items - the carnitas quesadilla. Both were yummy!

    Ask the Community - First Watch

    Are customers available to make reservations?

    You can reserve seating ahead of time (same day) with their app or on yelp, then you have 15-20 mins to check into the restaurant.

    Does first watch serve alcoholic beverages? Mimosas, sangria, etc?

    I don't know why so many people said no to this, they have several alcoholic beverage options. They're listed under the juice choices on the drink menu! They usually have some seasonal options as well that they have on the big chalkboard.

They made an excellent omelet after modifying the choice of meats and vegetables for my taste. The eggs for the omelet was smooth without being burnt. Food inside the omelet was hot. I added a hash as a side and it too arrived hot. Coffee is ok. I prefer a stronger like mud coffee so it was ok. The atmosphere was nice: clean restaurant, appropriate wall decorations, booths and tables in good repair. Service was quick and accurate. Both gals serving were hospitable and always quick to top off coffee or water / drinks. Prices are reasonable; however, like many places today, their suggested tip starts at 20% and is on the total bill, including tax. Gratuity is supposed to max at 15% and on the subtotal before tax. I'm good with tipping extra here as the service earns it, but I didn't care for how the bill showed up. Food, service and atmosphere for a small diner is 5-star; coffee is 3 which is roughly 4.5 so Ferttita's is rounded up to a 5-star. Especially for the happiness and service of the staff. Fertitta's is a recommend.

    I came here this afternoon at 12:30 pm with a guest and my 3 month old infant in a stroller. I was…read moretold by the hostess that the stroller counted as a third person and I would need a table to accommodate 3 people which would be a 2 hour wait. I was told that if I were to leave the stroller in the car and hold/carry her, it would be a 50 minute wait for "two." I opted to go online and make a "reservation" for two and I would put the stroller in the car and hold my daughter for a reservation time of 1:00 pm (only a 30 minute wait). Why do I need to go online while standing in the restaurant to make a quicker "reservation" when I'm standing right in front of the hostess? When checking in for the 1:00 pm reservation, the hostess asked if I was going to hold my daughter or if I wanted a high chair for her. This made no sense as the entire point of me holding her was because I needed a "table for 2." If I was going to be offered a high chair for a baby that can't even sit up yet, I should've been able to keep her asleep in the stroller and still been a table for 2. How is a high chair at that point not considered a third? Her stroller wouldn't have taken up any more room. The whole experience was absurd, made absolutely no sense and was off putting. There has to be better processes in place. Adding that it is 96 degrees outside, so going back and forth with an infant was absolutely ridiculous.

Whether it's with friends or just the two of us, we've never been disappointed. Let's see how this visit went. We were immediately seated once we walked inside. It wasn't completely packed for a Saturday afternoon but staff was really busy with customers. The vibe was one that made us comfortable for the most part. After a few minutes of looking over the menu, we were ready to order. My selection was the Tavern Monte Cristo which consisted of chargrilled chicken and ham as the protein with Gouda cheese and cider aioli fried in a tempura batter with tavern fries. The meal was served hot and ready and tasted great. And having the cranberry coulis as a dipping sauce really added some taste. My only gripe with the sandwich was the amount of protein. I'm not sure if I ate most of it when we dined in, but when I ate the rest for dinner, it was more breading than anything else. Still good but they could've included more. Nonetheless, I was full. Good stuff as always from Park Lane Tavern :)

    Another Yelp Reviewer's suggestion for the win!…read more I happened to be in the area today, and after my first stops, I needed something to eat. Again, thanks to other Yelpers, I found this place. I'm so glad we found it. This place does have a small private parking lot, which is a good thing for the area. The interior was nice, large, and seemed very clean. Plenty of seats inside and a few tables outside. The fella who served us was very nice, pleasant, and took care of us. Now let's get to our meals: Holy mud were they good. The wifey had The Jim Boy. Which is a couple of eggs, a couple of sides, potatoes, and toast. She tells me the whole meal was very good with the potatoes being the flavorful standout. As for me, I had The Lumberjack. Wow was it good. It was smashbrowns topped with 3 eggs your way, fried chicken breast, sausage gravy, and a buttermilk biscuit on the side. Their website pictures were different from how it was presented to me today (not that it means a thing). Again what a wonderful flavor. The biscuits were great and the sausage gravy was fantastic! I will say this it is a very filling meal - you will not be hungry after eating this. So with all this said, I highly recommend this place and I'm sure I will be back. I might even try to hit it for lunch next time. So if you're looking for a place - go ahead and enjoy this place.
