First Watch in Hampton is hands down one of the best breakfast/brunch spots around! The atmosphere is clean and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly from the moment i walked in. You can tell they really care about the customer experience. The food was fresh and flavorful,. Everything tasted high quality and made from scratch, which is hard to find these days. The portions were perfect and the menu has a great variety whether you're looking for something healthy, hearty, or a little indulgent. Service was quick and attentive without feeling rushed. It's the kind of place you want to sit, relax, and actually enjoy your meal. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family. read more

The wait was pretty long only because it was busy for the holiday. But considering how busy it was I felt like I got seated within a decent amount of time. The staff is very friendly. My waitress was top tier she did so great I actually tip her more than my actual bill was. Amazing staff. I ordered the farm stand breakfast tacos. They are like the best tacos I've ever had. Food was amazing. I will definitely be visiting this location again in the future. read more

Kudos to the crew at this location. They handled our big party with grace and aplomb. Thank you for the great food and service.

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

First Watch is an okay spot overall. They offer a military discount, which I appreciate, and their hours are great--especially if you're trying to grab breakfast early. If you're looking for a place to eat breakfast with coworkers, it works just fine. That said, it's not my first choice. The food is decent, but nothing really stands out or wows me. Convenient and reliable, but not a place I specifically crave or go out of my way for. read more

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. read more

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! read more

The Hampton location is convenient for me but not my preferred location. Honestly, with the service I received last time I went to visit, I may only want to go to this location moving forward. We were seated outside pretty quickly. If you know the outside area is by a busy road so it is a bit noisy and harder to hear those at the table with you. We didn't mind it this day as we were on a time crunch. I was eager to see if they offered gluten fee French toast as I know it varies by location what they would make off the menu. The server asked if it was per allergy or preference. I let her know I was gluten intolerant, and it was per allergy and wanted to be sure they would prepare it in a safe manner. I was so happy when she told me they could accommodate this. The price was $10.99 . I added a side of fruit for $5.49. A little pricey but I was impressed with the French toast. It was tasty and now I know there is another option I can add to the list. read more

The food was okay. I don't know what I expected, but it was just meh. I ended up dousing my avocado toast and eggs in hot sauce and it made the meal more enjoyable. We came in on late a Monday. We didn't realize that it was an hour to close (I know, big dumb) and it was clear that the waitress seemed annoyed that we came in. There was whipped cream smeared on my "clean" water glass and it seriously grossed me out. I would normally rate an experience like this lower, but I actually feel bad about coming in so close to closing time. read more

So I decided to have breakfast here after checking out from the hotel and it was a great choice. So, it's Sunday...I was not expecting the restaurant to close so early but the doors technically close at 2:30. I was wondering why the dining area was so empty. However, no one rushed me to finish my meal so that was a plus. The ambiance was nice and chill..I just wanted a small taste of bacon and French toast so I purchased a kids meal and mimosa. Well that's that! Until next time...Cheers! read more

First watch is always a go-to when you're looking for a fresh breakfast or brunch quickly. The only complaint I have is that the potatoes are always slightly under cooked, and my morning meditation had more beet and lemon juice in it this morning. But all and all, if you want a fulfilling breakfast or brunch, this is the place to go, but be sure to get on the waiting list early because they are always packed. read more

First watch has such a great menu, I totally choose WRONG.. tears tears and more tears. Cinnamon chip pancake was layer dusted with powered sugar, what made me think I could use syrup on this extra sweet pancake. My sugar intake will hopefully lever off by 2024. It instantly became a dessert. Eggs were cooked well bacon yummy. We were seated. Our waitress offered coffee and dissappear for a while, I found her after about 10 minutes and we placed our order. By now the hot coffee was all gone. Our waitress was attentive after this and took our order. Meals came out fresh and hot. read more

Good breakfast spot! Went with family as I feel they have plenty of options for everyone, including healthy options if that's your preference. I wish they had more flavored coffee options, but I like their juice/flavored tea options. I went with the kale tonic, a refreshing way to start the day. To eat, I had the Elevated Egg Sandwich. I loved the sandwich: the egg, bacon, and avocado flavors were just what I was looking for. The side of potatoes I found to be quite dry, so I hope they make an adjustment there, but everything else seemed solid! Friendly service as well. read more

Decided to stop by this place for breakfast this morning, Thursday 7/24/25, which was my first time. Each time I try to go with my family, it was ALWAYS crowded with people. Well, I was VERY disappointed I ordered the Trifecta Breakfast and the scrambled eggs were somehow not scrambled but fried hard on the edge almost like they left it too long on the grill or something. The Bacon was hard, VERY oily and had a weird taste. They took VERY LONG to bring my order to my table although the crowd was already seated and eating when I arrived. Well, to sum it all up. The long wait was definitely not WORTH IT! I WILL NOT BE EATING THERE EVER AGAIN!!! Very Disappointed!!! read more

Talk about a great morning. For celebrating my birthday (I turned 42 yesterday....yes, on April Fools Day), we headed to this First Watch location in Hampton. The first time we went to FW was years ago in Newport News near our place to hang with friends. What makes them different from other restaurant chains is that their menu is more healthy friendly. The first time we dined out left me completely satisfied. How about the 2nd time around? Usually when it comes to First Watch, it's best to reserve online using their app or website since they get packed early. But this time, we were able to snag a table with no wait time. To start off, I ordered the Morning Meditation Fresh Juice which consists of orange, lemon, tumeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beets. Not a bad way to start off your meal. Healthy and definitely tasted fresh. For my entree, I picked The Works omelet which is ham, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and cheese along with a side of potatoes and multigrain bread. I can't come up with a word other than satisfying. From the first bite to the last, everything worked together. And to top off the entire visit, my meal was free (except the juice of course). A very nice time here at First Watch. I can definitely say we'll be back here soon. read more

Yelp for the win! Dieting and traveling can be tough but this place made it easy! I started my day in Virgina with a Kale Tonic and a turkey omelette. Some fresh fruit and wheat bread. Just the fuel needed for a successful business trip. The vibe of this place is great. Fast wifi also if you need to multi task while getting some grub. They have several locations Around the Hampton roads area. I personally can co-sign for Newport News and this one Hampton. read more

Ok that Million Dollar Bacon is deadly! Jesus 530 calories in four slices caramalized with seasoning yeeeesh it's definitely a must have one time. I can't do that again though yikes! Very sweet and chewy as the sugar is literally coated and caramelized the bacon, insane. Had the avocado toast which was good. Toast is very thick and a oat type healthy bread. The avocado is almost puréed with lemon and oil and falls off the toast. The eggs look easy but they must be poached medium. Yummy. And filling. Also tried the parfait which was also very sweet. It is a dessert not a meal and the toast with almond butter and salt was ok but they need more almond butter or thinner toast. It is the sane toast as the avocado toast and is very thick and has oats. Glad I tried this place but next time I'll do healthy only! Prices are high, guessing pandemic has increased costs. Parking is ok there's a large lot shared with many other stores but this place is poppin on a Sat brunch time so be prepared to wait and to search for parking. I ordered thru Yelp and ate in my car as it was 30 mins vs a 2 hr wait to sit and another hour to eat. read more

Anything you get is going to be delicious. I really want their spice blend for the French toast -- it goes beyond a little cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla that I use when I want to make fancy French toast. Wait staff were attentive without being intrusive. When someone's order of chocolate chip pancakes come out as French toast they were fast and friendly to take it back to the kitchen and replace with pancakes. The only problem is that the coffee is HOT and the cups are substantial, so the coffee has to sit a while before it's drinkable. I'd also rather have plain milk than the shelf-stable 1/2 and 1/2 pods on the table. Worth it though, for the food. read more
