Great service, food was delicious but the juice I ordered takes the win! I would come back here next time in the area.

Typically my husband and I love first watch. However, we placed an Uber eats order. When we were on the way to pick up it said the order was cancelled by the restaurant. So we called to inquire about why it was cancelled and to place the order directly through them then I was hung up on. If they can't handle take out orders it doesn't need to be an option.. I do not recommend using a delivery service or doing a pick up order for this restaurant. Very poor customer service. read more

"I know we have lots to do today but FIRST WATCH me eat this whole Trifecta." -- Me, this morning I've been wanting to try one of these for a hot minute now. We were on our way out of Nashville, so we stopped here for a bite. We arrived around 10:00 on a Sunday morning and surprisingly it wasn't too busy. We accepted a table outside... the temperature wasn't too bad and they had umbrellas. Our table was a bit sticky... that's probably my only real complaint. I ordered the Trifecta with a waffle, over medium eggs, and bacon. My better half had the Chorizo omelet and greens. My waffle was the best. It tasted sooo good. Seriously, I'm giving 5 stars for the waffle alone. I finished my plate and my husband did the same. His was equally delish. It's safe to say I get the whole First Watch thing now. I'll definitely be visiting a Louisville location soon! read more

Food is always good. Service today was below par. Sat for over ten minutes before a server even approached us and this was after we had to ask who our server was. No "sorry for the wait" or anything. read more

AMAZING breakfast in Nashville. Yelp seat ahead did us a huge favor because this place is busy! Unique and trendy menu with huge servings. Coffee and water bar in the waiting area. No way you can leave this place hungry. read more

Admittedly, Mother's Day is a tough day for restaurants. But our to go order was underwhelming. The breakfast potatoes had so much salt on them you could use them as an emetic. My omelette was way over cooked and dry. But it wasn't edible anyway because it was filled with brown slimy avocado. The fruit cup was a tiny cup one might see with ketchup in it, and despite the fact the fruit was diced small, the pineapple was mostly inedible core. The million dollar bacon was burned, and swimming in such a hot sauce I could not eat it. These issues are not new--I've been sending the same or similar complaints for some time. It's hard to find good cooks and I sympathize. However, First Watch is no longer our go to place for breakfast. We are looking for another place and hope that the Hermitage First Watch gets good cooks soon and goes back to the really high quality meals they served a couple of years ago. Pic is of the rotten slice of avocado the cool put on top of my omelette. I won't gross you out with the inside of the omelette. read more

First Watch - That is a brown slimy slice of avocado that was on top of my omelette. Sorry about the busy background. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hermitage, Tennessee

I've been twice now and both times the food was great! The only reason I'm giving it a 4 is bc the first time we got a table that was right in the pathway to walk and people kept bumping my fiancé and I chairs. So we just make sure to ask for a table against the wall or a booth. Can't wait to go back and try different things on the menu! read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. We had the loaded smoked salmon bagel, smoked salmon Benedict and a lemon ricotta pancake Quickly seated, super friendly service (Brian was fantastic!), great flavors and portions! read more

Eat here frequently with my wife and daughter. Gluten free options. I asked our server about their gluten free bread, because it was amazing and the slices were larger than a postage stamp. He then told me that they also are willing to sell me a loaf. So I bought it! Food is always fresh and tastes great. Good atmosphere. A must place to eat! read more

We arrived, to the hermitage one, as a party of 8 and was told the wait time would be 1hr. We then decided to ask for 2 separate 4 person table. The front staff dis not make the change as we asked. 1 hour goes by and multiple 4 person tables sat down that arrived after us. We ended up waiting one hour and ten minutes and we sat in two separate tables any ways. Service was horrible, at that point the food did not matter The waiter was very nice read more

Limited menu, and hours, healthy choices, very good food.prepared well. Served with a smile and a good word. Comfort food done well, A little pricey for what it is but still very reasonable. read more

Highs and lows here. My food was great. Service was pretty sub par. After our drink we were left with our drinks and no straws. He was supposed to come back and never did. He delivered our meal which took about 45 minutes. It was a very long wait for such simple food. In between ordering and food delivery were there wasn't one appearance by our waiter. Upon food delivery one of our meals was incorrect. They made quick work of the correction though when they delivered the corrected meal it was hurriedly thrown together with two missing key ingredients. It took some doing to get our check. I'd almost call this 4 stars if we didn't see that all the wait staff was in a similar position. They just don't seem to have their act together. read more

Awesome service and great food. It's only open for a short period of time so I advise your planing to eat there come early so you don't have to wait. My favorite item on the menu is the AM superfoods bowl with a side of potatoes and a glass of morning meditation juice. My sister are vegan so I would say I wish there were more options. But I am glad that they are well to work with us to make an item on the menu. The only downside is that it cost the exact is the same when I'm not getting everything with it. read more

Always yummy! Great, friendly staff, great food. A beacon of hope even through the "rona!" Keep up the quality & service First Watch! We appreciate it. read more

I can always count on First Watch. There has never been anything I don't like when we eat here. Their waffle and campo is my favorite and I always get the morning meditation juice. They are a chain, but a solid brunch option. The atmosphere is definitely a vibe. The staff is always helpful and kind. You will wait a while on the weekends to be seated. Great option for a morning with girlfriends and also hardy enough for my husband too. They have great seasonal specials. We do tend to stick to breakfast so I don't have experience with their lunch options. There is a bit or an odor when you first walk in, but I believe it's due to the open kitchen style. Very clean and well maintained restaurant. Breakfast tacos are great! So is hash when they have it and lemon ricotta pancakes are rich enough to share. Always get the million dollar bacon if on menu! read more

Great service! Delicious food. Options for plant eaters. I love the 'get in line' option! So many fresh fruit and veggie choices. Outdoor seating is nice. Will definitely eat here again and again. read more

Had the farmhouse skillet and powerhouse quinoa and all of it was delicious!! I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food tasted really fresh. great brunch spot for a group. The only reason why I'm giving 4 stars is cause the service wasn't very attentive (they were short staffed) so It's understandable and cause we had to return our silverware because it was dirty. I highly recommend cause the quality of the food was great and has made it to my list of favorite in nashville read more

We had an excellent breakfast. My husband ordered the Carnitas burrito. I ordered the avocado toast and eggs. We also ordered a side of bacon. Everything was excellent. I can't say enough good about it. The service was great and the food was promptly served. read more

Walked in at 12:15 to celebrate my parents 73rd anniversary. Young man asked how many. Five please. Some wacko lady asked who is next. I held up 5. She seated us at a table for two. I asked if we were all to sit there. She said "I can't read your minds". I told her she should not treat customers like that. Our waiter, the original person, turned out to be kind and apologized. But that wacko lady ruined our lunch. Never give a restaurant money when their employees are unhinged. read more

We were visiting the area and my wife found this place. The restaurant was very clean. The menu items were amazing. Lots of unique choices you can't get from a fast food joint. Our waitress Lanise was very friendly. We had our food in no time. She consistently checked to see if we needed anything. If your in the area give first watch a try. I promise you won't be sorry. read more

All the food was delicious everybody cleaned out their plates bacon was especially good and thick/fresh. Server was really good and attentive to our table. The kids menu chocolate chip pancakes were huge and my children eat it all up. As per my son (The pancakes really delicious and taste really good as well) read more

The First Watch Hermitage has gone to hell in a hand basket. The service is awful. When you order to go, they are always missing items from the order. I ordered Uber Eats today and only got part of my order. when I contacted the store they told me that I could come and pick what was left off up. If I wanted to do that I wouldn't have paid Uber Eats $50 to deliver my food. Stay away from this location. read more

I've never been blown away by this place. It's a decent breakfast spot given we don't have to many other choices in the area. There is always a long wait even if you get on the list ahead of time. They don't do call ahead, but last time we went you could sign up ahead of time via an app. It's pretty annoying having to download an app for a place you go only a couple times a year. There's also a variance in service. People seated after us would end up getting their food, right after we put our order in. Could have just been the server that day, but we had trouble ordering additional entrees and getting refills on drinks. I've never been blown away by the food. The descriptions on the menu always make them sound amazing and i'm underwhelmed when it gets to the table. I would give this place a solid meh. read more

My wife and I tried breakfast this morning 2/23 and it didn't disappoint! The atmosphere was nice and the restaurant was very clean! The food was delicious I had the BLT eggs benedict and my wife had the lemon ricotta pancakes and we shared the million dollar bacon (sweet and salty goodness). The server that we had was very nice and came the correct amount of times!! Will definitely be back many times! read more

We loved this place. It's pricey, but worth the occasional splurge. Everything tastes like it's made from scratch - from the pancakes to fresh juices to homemade jams. We liked the modern vibe. Also family friendly which is a must for us. 4 stars because it's pricey. We will definitely be returning! read more

Their biscuit was absolutely delectable - flaky, tangy with buttermilk and fantastic with butter and jam. It was my favorite bite in Nashville, for sure. My salad - honey chicken, bacon and pecans was a bit bizarre. Picture a hot, saucy mixture of ingredients (great for a sandwich!), on a bed of cold lettuce. It didn't look or taste that great. I read the menu for it to read honey mustard dressing with chicken, bacon and pecans so it was a bit of a confusing experience. I would order something different if I came back to visit. Staff was attentive and I never felt rushed despite the onslaught of guests in the place on a Sunday late afternoon. read more

My friend and I visit this location at least twice during our annual week long vacation here. Each and every time, we receive outstanding service and enjoy wonderful food. Both of us ordered the biscuits and gravy during yesterday's visit. Yum! That about sums it up! Everything was just delicious! We were both thrilled to discover locations opening up a couple of years ago in the Chicagoland area and frequent those as well. You can't go wrong at First Watch! read more

We were on the road trying to find a nice place to have breakfast and we came across with this gem. Nice menu, various healthy and savory options. Their avocado toast is the best, it has a good amount of avocado with over easy eggs, Yumm! Simply delicious. Their donuts with the chocolate sauce it's a most. Also nice variety of juices freshly made. read more

First watch in this area is always so good. We got in around 12 thinking there was a wait but got seated instantly. Chicken pasto bowl always fantastic and Daniel the server was great and always checking up on us read more

This spot by far is the BEST breakfast/brunch spot in Hermitage. I have been here at least 10 times within the last 3 months. I love the traditional breakfast and the friendly servers here. I will be a regular every weekend. Salute First Watch! read more

So yummy! It was very busy when we arrived and were told we had about a 25 min wait for a table, no less than 10 minutes we were seated! I couldn't say more wonderful things about Beverly our server and the delicious food we had! She was very prompt and tended to all of our needs, we will definitely be back! read more

Normally food and service is okay here. Today I came in 20 minutes early to check in for a party of 10 since I knew that would be hard to seat. An hour and a half later, we still didn't have a table despite multiple adjacent tables having come available during that time. When we finally got our table, our food came 30 minutes apart (i.e., most of us and finished eating before the final person got their food; we would have waited so that everyone can eat together but we were hungry and elected to eat as food came out. Nothing came out together.). The coffee had bits of greens in it... Not intentionally. Someone hadn't cleaned the coffee pot or it got food stuck in it in the wash cycle. I don't know the cause, but it was disgusting. I've come fairly regularly with a friend (about once a month). I had thought it would be fun to invite a larger group. Now I won't be back any time soon with any size party. read more

My family loves First Watch and we frequent this location. Please please please don't get rid of the Cinni-chip muffins!! The 'Grilled Lanice" should be added to the menu! Who would have thought to grill a muffin? Lanice! It's absolutely delicious and she's seriously brilliant!!! read more

When passing through on my way home I stopped here for breakfast right when Covid-19 started. The waitress was very friendly and they kept everything well cleaned/sanitized before and after each patron dined in. I had a quick breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast. It was nothing fancy but tasted good! I throughly enjoyed my conversation with the server who was giving me updates on how slow business was due to the pandemic. Unfortunately business was so slow she had to get another job to supplement her income. Tough times ahead for many!! Support your local restaurants anyway you can! read more

We went on a Sunday at 10:30 AM to get brunch and were only given a 15 minute wait, which I'm thankful for. Waiting at the IHOP nearby at the same time would have caused a 30+ minute wait. The waiting are, while crowded, wasn't terrible! We were able to sit and chat. The decor of the place is very cute and their tables and table settings are trendy. Our waitress was very VERY sweet and funny. We really liked her. My partner and I both got coffee and they gave us a whole carafe, which I appreciated as a coffee-lover! Now onto the food: I had the lemon ricotta pancakes and turkey sausage. I thought I would be hungrier, just with two pancakes, but the pancakes are actually quite large. I wouldn't order pancakes + something else next time. Both foods were delicious, though! The pancakes were light and sweet, though I missed the flavor of syrup. Definitely get them if you like lemon and strawberry flavor. My partner got the banana granola pancakes, which were also very good! Sweet with a bit of a crunch. Overall, I would definitely go again! The service was impressive, given we were there at their peak hours of the entire week. read more

Anyone can make pancakes, but there is something special about theirs. The lemon curd pancakes are amazing. Fluffy, hot, and delicious. Always a great choice for delicious breakfast food! read more

LOVE the food!!! Wish they had longer/more hours. & really wish some things were better designed- like they should have booster seats! It's totally not small kid friendly. They have high chairs for babies & small toddlers, but 3+ can't fit in them nor reach or safely sit at the table without a booster seat! And the constant traffic jam at the only entrance/exit door! (Can we say fire hazard/code violation??!!) The hostess booth & payment station are smack dab in front of the door causing hoards of people to line up, serious congestion & major confusion for newbies. LABEL THEM already! Or better- pay at the table like most other restaurants! If I could count the number of times I've seen new patrons make the same mistake I made as a newbie- people stand in line to put their name down for seating only to find out they're in the wrong line (waiting to pay) & getting passed by others now ahead on the list. read more
