I've been a Keke's fan . . . until trying First Watch. The food is great! The menu selection has a bunch of interesting things. I'm trying to be healthy and was impressed by the quinoa bowl. Service was incredibly friendly and patient. Ambiance is farmhouse modern. read more

I unfortunately really did not care for the food at this place. I had the chicken Chunga and it was just decent. I really didn't like the flavor profile. It just wasn't that great. I also had the million dollar potatoes and they were also just blah. The fruit was good, but I had a few pieces that were older. The ambience at the place is very nice and welcoming. The food just was not good very mediocre unfortunately. read more

Another great trip!! Dikla was a great waitress and was very attentive and sweet. We were sat immediately on walking in the door. The timing of the food was perfect to be able to have conversation and hang out, but not feel like it was taking too long or we had been forgotten. There's also plenty of parking out front. Always a nice spot to bring the family! read more

I've visited other First Watch locations. This one is actually the closest one to me, but I hadn't made a stop here yet. I'm happy to report that this was as good an experience as the other locations. The servers were attentive and quick to respond to our requests. The food is always delicious, and the rowing seasonal menus make it ideal to visit at least once a season to try the new menu out. Aside from seasons dishes, there are also seasonal drinks. It's always fun to discover what new drinks they have available. Whatever you order, add the million dollar bacon. it is delicious and compliments any plate. read more

The food was good. We had the farmhouse and they seemed to have used a different type tomato in the dish. The service was great I ordered online for 10:30 pickup and it was ready at 10:30. It was hot and the plates looked great. The restaurant was humming and very full, but the servers were on top on it. The noise level was really not that bad. read more

Run don't walk to First Watch! Excellent menu selections, terrific food and coffee, and our server Tye was great. They have a fall menu selection right now and we tried the pumpkin spice donuts, served with two dipping sauces and they were yummy! Moist and delicious and just a hint of pumpkin and cinnamon. Not a huge restaurant but very cute! read more

First Watch used to be my favorite place but it's definitely lacked flavor at some locations and this is one of them. The Brussels hash only had 4 pieces of Brussels sprouts, it was mostly potato and bacon and cheese. Not a lot of goat cheese on the plate either but very generous with the crispy chilli oil, wasn't spicy at all though. Overall, it's a place I'll return to because they have decent dishes but this wasn't one of them. Came in on Saturday and beat the rush, so it was pleasant and clean. Only complaint is how small the tables are, limits how much you can order at a time. read more

Cold Food, undercooked eggs, and bad service. Went on a tuesday afternoon to eat breakfast with 2 friends, Normal wait time we were seated, order was taken and after he dropped the drinks off we never saw our server again. No refilled drinks, did not bring our food out the cooks had too and didn't even bring our bill out we had to go inside and pay. Now on top of that , Food Was super cold had to ask for a remake. overall Would never come back. read more

Sooo I asked for the farmhouse skillet and they brought out something else very similar with a different protein. I said I'd just eat it because I was starving but they said it was probably someone else's. The server comes back to TAKE MY ORDER AGAIN, ( she clearly is EASL) and I then watch her throw the food away that was wrong. My bf is eating his food as I didn't want it to get cold, and I wait about 7 minutes which isn't terrible. I know she probably misunderstood me but I was willing to eat what was brought out the first time. read more

Lots of good options from sweet and savory, to hearty and healthy. I came here for to do a working brunch and there was plenty of space and I didn't feel rushed. Would definitely return again when coming back in town to try their more savory options. read more

Summer was very sweet and the food was god as always. WAY BETTER THAN KeKe's ..........

Visiting Nashville and this is my second time at First Watch and the food is very good. I love the healthy options (and the not so healthy ones). I opted for healthy and ordered the A.M superfoods bowl which was excellent . My friend had the Ricotta Pancakes, also very good but large. The service was swift and attentive and we really like the location in the Hermitage area. We were not about to go back into downtown or the Gulch a 3rd time with those exorbitant parking fees. We will continue to support businesses outside of the city during future trips. read more

This First Watch is excellent. We had a couple of issues (sometimes, shtuff happens),but our server was right on top of it and they were resolved quickly. Nicki was an amazing server! They have excellent customer service here. The food was amazing. The Million Dollar Bacon is a must have and so are the Million Dollar potatoes. The service... impeccable! The atmosphere is cozy, some noise, but easy to visit and have conversations. I highly recommend First Watch. read more

My 1st time here. This was with some of my church friends. There were 6 of us. Waitress very mannerly. Food excellent. Service great & very pleasant atmosphere. They allowed us to sit & visit while I was waiting on my husband to arrive to pick me up. I'll definitely be back. read more

Located in a strip mall of shops First Watch looks underwhelming. Open the door and you are greeted by the aromas of breakfast on the grill, syrup and waffles! The atmosphere is welcoming with plenty of table seating. The menu offers lighter breakfast options as well as the traditional pancakes, waffles, omelettes and hash. The gingerbread donuts are a must! Order them as a breakfast appetizer while you read through the menu. Prompt service and warm syrup served with your waffles for the win. read more

The waffle, eggs, and sausage links were very good. The omelet was cold and a handful of greens not so good. We also had the donut holes which were pretty bad. They didn't come before the meal and were cold and didn't taste fresh. We both had coffee and it ended up costing $44. I left a 20% tip because the service was very good. We think $44 for breakfast is a bit much. read more

08.17.24 Well, it was a horrible experience! The server didn't get the order right! Seems she had an attitude when she came to the table. Blonde with green eyes and fake teeth! Went to get order remade, touched the bread with no gloves on, carrying on laughing in the back while my partner ate their food and I had nothing! Would never recommend this place to anyone! Touching your hair, your dirty apron and then my food!!! We left without finishing our meal and you had the nerve to charge for a drink! The restaurant was busy, hope the other patrons get better service than we received! #NOTHANKS!!! #DOBETTER read more

First time visit to this breakfast-lunch place in a non-descript strip mall in Hermitage. Seemed popular with a young crowd. And a busy takeout business at the same time. Friendly and attentive service, good coffee served in a carafe for self-refills, and an eclectic menu with many veggie options. I ordered the parma & hash with eggs breakfast--kinda an Italian diner meets traditional breakfast. Everything tasted fresh. While Wi-Fi is free, it required my email...so I Just Said No. read more

Soon as I pulled in I got a parking spot right in front. As I walked in the front desk lady was super sweet & sat me down right away. At first she put me at a table I told her I wanted a booth she proceeded to escort me to one with no problem. I didn't wait 5 mins & my waiter was right there ready to take my order. He was super nice, attentive and informative because I did ask a few questions about certain entry options. I went with the chickichanga with breakfast potatoes plus fruit. I also ordered water plus the kale tonic. My food arrived super fast and I was SUPER SATISFIED. I ate the whole thing so delicious. My drink was fresh as well I felt like a whole new healthy person lmfao. 10/10 recommend & would go back. Super clean, chill atmosphere with awesome food and nice servers. read more

This use to be a favorite of mine until today! Ordered bisquits and gravy and get no gravy. Called to let them now and the lady on the phone keep telling me I ordered through Uber eats but I ordered through website. Very rude . I asked for manager he was kind but didn't offer to replace food and said he needed to talk to GM on how to do refund. Didn't want refund wanted my gravy. Then my friend opens her food and finds bacon after requesting none and hair in her food. Super disappointed. They all need additional training on how their delivery options and refunds work. read more

I came here when fall started because I was so excited to see this place had a seasonal menu! I didn't realize they were a chain, though. Chains are always disappointing. Inside reminds me of a cozier Panera, but in reverse, where you order at your table and then pay up front at the end. My server was lovely and fast, and ready to answer any questions. I got the Pumpkin pancake special, and it was huge! The size of the plate. Sadly, it was just a pancake. It had pumpkin coloring, but didn't have much pumpkin or spice to it. Coffee was coffee. read more

My mom and I went here when she was in town and we cleaned our plates! Everything here is yummy! Good prices and fast service.

The restaurant was very busy; it was brunch time on a Saturday when we entered so we decided to grab takeout. Filling the order took approximately 30 minutes and was comprised of lemon ricotta pancakes and "The Works" omelette. The pancakes were good and the omelette was ok also. The menu is quite extensive and offers Takeout is usually not as good as eating in so I would be open to taking in the ambience next time. read more

First Watch began in California back in 1983 and has since grown to over four hundred locations across the United States. They are one of several different restaurant chains that have taken the concept of a luncheonette, a place that offers breakfast and lunch, and has elevated it into something beyond what many perceived as a typical greasy spoon restaurant. For the most part, First Watch generally succeeds in elevating the breakfast experience Beyonds either a greasy spoon diner or luncheonette. There is a focus on the ambience the restaurant, as well as a focus to provide different breakfast options, many of them which have a healthier side than your typical greasy spoon offerings. Their eggs benedict are a good option to go with. They're omelets are also good path to consider. If you are bored with the typical breakfast offerings and want something a little more upscale, First Watch might be something cool to check out. Just be advised, you will pay a bit more. Nothing terrible, but you will pay a bit more. read more

Worst brunch we've had in Nashville. We really wanted to love it because it's so close to our house, but... Ambiance: Terrible. Incredibly loud and overstimulating. Service: Nice, but slow. We waited so long for food and had to ask for water. Food: Also terrible. Everything was overcooked or undercooked or both. Also as someone who can't have dairy, I had the fun realization halfway through eating my "seasoned potatoes" that they had cheese. There are many better brunch spots in the area. We're glad we finally crossed this one off our list so we know not to come back. read more

We love First Watch - all of them that we have been to and this one is no exception. We ordered two different soups for take-out for our family's lunch. Tomato basil and Soup du jour or broccoli cheese today. The tomato basil is creamy and delicious with chunks of nummy things. Yes please! Broccoli cheddar was also creamy and delicious. It's exceptionally good. I know I'll be back. It's a good place. read more

This was $15. We checked with the server to make sure that's the correct portion for the order - and she confirmed that this is "actually a generous portion of eggs" compared to what they usually give. The staff was friendly, but this portion size just blew me away. But Nina, wait. Wasn't it a *really* good link of sausage? No. No, it was not. read more

We'll you'd think I would learn my lesson! After a very poor review and a long time I decided to once again go to the First Watch on Lebanon Road. FW does have one of my favorite dishes - eggs Benedict with tomato, spinach and hollandaise sauce. I went on line and got in line with a 45 minute wait. When I arrived decided to sit at the front counter and order. I was excited to once again enjoy my favorite brunch item! When it came I sliced into the poached egg and found a hard boiled egg covered in sauce. I then tried tie other egg to find the same thing! Just wasn't in the mood to eat hard boiled eggs so when the server returned, I showed her and told her I just couldn't eat that! Guess now I can finally mark that place off my list permanently!! read more
