    First watch is nice go-to brunch spot with the usual breakfast selection. What sets them apart from the standard brunch restaurants are the seasonal menu selections which include unique options such as the Tres Leches French Toast and the Lemon Blueberry Corn Bread. We always appreciate the complimentary coffee and the nice customer service. Interior is cozy and has a nice rustic aesthetic with a modern twist to it. This is a good spot to come and catch up with friends and family while enjoying stable breakfast options.

    Million Dollar Potatoes / BLT Benedict

    Came back to First Watch and had a really good experience. The Barbacoa was flavorful and filling. The only complaint is that the chips are still placed on the bottom, which makes them soggy. Would have preferred them on the side. I also wish the portion was a bit larger. I also got the gluten-free Market Veggie sandwich, and it was great. The bread was soft (which is rare for gluten-free), and I really appreciate how accommodating they are with allergies. Service was excellent and our server was attentive and everything came out quickly. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again.

    Really Delicious Gourmet and FAST! Breakfast served so many ways and creative twists on eggs, pancakes and the absolute best home fries we've ever eaten. Service was quick and restaurant was quiet and clean with open feel and comfortable seating.

    Double Bacon Parmesan Hash
    Heather C.

    Enjoyed the Double Bacon Parmesan Hash. Meal was $14.49 and very good. The bacon, egg, and Parmesan sauce put a different spin on the dish. Waitress was very attentive. It was not as crowded on Monday as it during the weekend. So I did not have to wait long to be seated. Atmosphere was pleasant.

    Blueberry pancake

    The server we had was a ray of sunshine. She was so upbeat and quick on her toes. It was a busy morning and she still was attentive with us. The food was good no complaints and bathrooms were kept clean! :)

    Omelet

    We're always lucky that wherever we seem to go, a First Watch is not too far behind! Today we had lunch at the First Watch in Hershey, PA - and enjoyed just as much as the other locations! We got a variety of meals including omelets, pancakes, and sandwiches - and as always the service was quick and friendly, and the portions were large and tasty enough to fill us up! Another great meal at a First Watch!

    Eggs Benedict - I always judge an eatery based on how good their Eggs Benedict are and we were not disappointed!

    Brunch date with my husband! The food and coffee were delicious. Friendly service. And the place was so cute and clean.

    Maple Bacon Croissant Sandwich

    Downtown Hershey , easy parking either on street or parking behind. Fast service. Food was very good. The maple bacon croissant needs to come with wet wipes. But so good.

    Dirty utensils
    Galina O.

    Diners come here, dazzled by beautifully plated meals, never noticing the dirty dining ware that accompanies them. Unfortunately, I did. My fork was visibly grimy, with streaks and residue that made me question the hygiene behind the scenes. If this is what's served to customers, what's happening in the kitchen? The food industry needs to change. Cleanliness should never be an afterthought. A restaurant can serve the most exquisite dishes, but if it can't provide clean utensils, it has already failed.

    Traveling presents the travelers with many food choices. Having enjoyed First Watch in Florida, we tried it closer to home. Good choice. Food was excellent. Oatmeal breakfast to the fancy salad. Tasty! No wait time though lunchtime in Hershey. We were delighted. Our waitress was great. Suggestions were right on and helpful. Usually these cavernous buildings are noisy. Notice the ceiling baffles of doors and window sashes. Really helped with sound.

    Million Dollar Bloody Mary

    The food was amazing and the staff was very nice and they had one of the best Bloody Mary's I've ever had

    The waitress was spot on with all of her suggestions! I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience, the French toast was breathtaking!

I liked my chicken pesto, my son liked the ham with pineapple, my other kids liked their Nutella with strawberries (obviously) 4/5 Ambiance: Fine. Little folksy bistro setting where you can watch the crepe being made, with 50s crooner hits playing. 2/5 Service: Despite how nice the female server was and how they seemed to want to help us get food immediately, it was one of the most stressful, high pressure dining experiences I've had. The shop was small, but not packed with guests ( for part of it we were the only guests there.) They constantly were talking to us about their menu while we were trying to decide what to order from their huge menu, asking us to buy something we'd said no thanks to a few times (tea), asking us to buy more crepes immediately or get something else, and reminding us to follow their very unique protocol for how to order and then breaking their own protocol. I was completely overwhelmed in the first minute of being there and the pressure didn't relent with the crepe maker yelling out asking us what kind of crepe we wanted while we were just trying to decide. Nothing seemed malicious and they seemed to be aware of making good memories for our kids (gave us chalk, sparks up convo about where we were from, which we liked) but the high pressure made the experience hard to enjoy. (Note: the parking lot is very tight)

It gets a little busy Sunday late morning until close, but the wait time is usually 20 to 30 minutes. I think the longest I've ever waited was 40, but it's well worth it. Everyone in town knows how good it is, so if you want to get right in come early. If you come later , and have to wait a little bit, I guarantee you'll be happy you did!

I craved some comfort food before the long ride home and I remembered The Hershey Pantry from my college days at PSU, which now feels like 138 years ago. We stopped in and had the most delightful, sweet waitress: Piper. The food was just what we wanted: filling and familiar. Hubs had a chicken caprese sammie and I had a reuben with turkey. Both hit the spot. I saw a coconut cake slice go by for another table and had to order one immediately to go. OMG - GET THE COCONUT CAKE. I had it as a late night snacky and it was tender with the right amount of coconut, and frosting that was light like an angel's wings. My only regret is that we live 3.5 hours away and can't come back anytime soon.

We stopped in after checking out the shopping outlets in the area. We did make reservations prior to dining to make sure we had a table. Parking is a bit of a hassle but that's no fault of the restaurant. Fire and grain is located inside the Hershey lodge. Mostly all parking spots are taken up by the hotel guests so it's a bit tricky to find open parking. We had a party of 4 dining that night. Very friendly staff , especially when we had questions about the menu. We chose to start off with the burrata appetizer. We thought it would be a nice size to split with 4 but it turned out to be quite small. Only 1 slice of bread , small drizzle of balsamic and just 2 cherry tomatoes cut in half and maybe a half handful of arugula. Maybe make this a bit larger of a portion as a starter. For entree I chose the pappardelle bolognese - house made fresh pasta , Italian sausage and short rib ragu with ricotta cheese. Needed a bit more of the sausage and short rib but still very good. My wife had the shrimp Alfredo. Very tasty as well with plenty of shrimp and another delight with the house made pasta which takes it to another level. A surprise was that the tails were already removed from the shrimp to make it easier to enjoy. For dessert we'd share the chocolate peanut buttter mousse cake! So rich but so delicious! Another great treat! Be sure to stop in and check this place out if you're in town visiting Hershey,PA.

The place has a very casual, come-as-you-are bar-and-kitchen vibe, which fits the area well. Nothing felt overly polished or fancy, and that is not a criticism. It seemed like the kind of local spot where people can just show up, relax, and get a solid meal. The problem was the service on this visit. We showed up right around the breakfast-to-lunch transition and thought we had made it in time for breakfast, but apparently not. We got seated pretty quickly, which made it seem like things were moving along, but then we sat there for about 20 minutes with water glasses and no water, and really no meaningful attention at all. By the time someone finally came over with the water, we were already done and decided to head somewhere else down the street. It was also getting fairly loud while we were sitting there, and the staff seemed tired or stretched thin, so I would not be surprised if we caught the place at a bad moment, maybe during a shift change or just an awkward transition between breakfast and lunch. The restaurant was busy, which usually says something good, and the food we saw going to other tables looked pretty solid. That is why I landed on 3 out of 5. This was not a bad experience in the usual sense. It was more of a non-experience. We never got far enough to judge the food, and I do not think it would be fair to hammer the place over one oddly timed visit. But sitting that long without even getting water was enough for us to leave.
