Yummmm! First time I've been able to make it in to First Watch since they opened their gorgeous restaurant in Greenwood. Keep in mind they close at 2:30 7 days a week. We went on a Wednesday morning after a dr appt - no wait! We were sat as soon as we walked in - the environment is clean and stream lined. I love the big cardinal mural. We ordered a fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee, and two waters. The server left a pitcher of water and a carafe of coffee. We went in to order a barbacoa bowl that was the perfect amount of spice. I ate the entire portion. My daughter ordered the turkey burger with a side of the tomato basil soup. Weird cause she hates tomatoes- but she ate the entire bowl. Great service - delicious Fresh food with a different taste profile than the standard local restaurants - definitely a place to put on regular rotation! read more

I love First Watch! I've went to multiple locations in various states and always get the same amazing food and great service at every location. My favorite meal is the chickichanga! read more

First Watch - Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Got here early and they weren't too busy so we were seated immediately and got served quickly. The coffee was hot and fresh Lemon blueberry cornbread was delicious a slight crunch to the outside with plenty of blueberries inside and topped with lemon butter. This is definitely a favorite of ours. I'm so happy it's back. Turkey sausage gravy is light yet creamy and perfectly seasoned. The biscuit was light and fluffy Eggs cooked perfectly Grits are extremely cheesy and delicious read more

This location is much better than the one on 86th street. Our server was great. I wish I cold remember her name... it started with an A. She was great very personable, very positive. This location is big and spacious, warm and inviting. Plenty of parking space as well. I has lemon ricotta pancake, 2 scrambled eggs, chicken apple sausage and grits. Everything is made fresh daily, nothing processed, they don't even have a microwave. The eggs and coffee are locally sourced from woman owened businesses. Everyone was pleasant, and the food was good, just a little cold. The pacskes are huge thick and fluffy. I tasted my husband's cinnamon chocolate chip pancake and that was the bomb! Please note the bathroom water is freezing when you wash your hands! read more

Food was ok. The ambiance was a nice clean vibe. The service however was extremely poor. The hostess did not great us when we walked in and over looked us when we attempted to put our name down. Once it was our turn to be seated they were not friendly at all. Server also rushed us the whole time and brought the check before we even started eating. Additionally, the server almost took my bf's plate away before he even finished.... The vibe quickly changed when we asked for waters but we do not drink coffee with our breakfast. Anyways... 8/10 Chilaquiles 6/10 Ham and gruyere melt 5/10 broccoli cheddar soup (too thick but flavors were ok) 0/10 service read more

My coworkers and I have been working in Greenwood this week and we have been to first watch twice. I love their options the first day I got breakfast. This time I got half soup sandwich. The chicken and wild rice was delicious. I usually like my soup piping hot, so it could have been heated up a little more. But it was good so I didn't make it a big deal. My salad was the Sweet Honey Pecan. (Minus Pork) Mmmhmm. The honey Dijon dressing with the chicken and pecans was genius. They plate was this close to being licked clean. Very satisfying and just the right amount of food for mid day! read more

Didn't wow me. The service was slow and the food was meh. The host was nice but that was about it.

Came here for a brunch with a pregnant and gluten sensitive friend, she was able to find things she could eat! I was also able to find a dish I like!

We did call ahead in the app since it was a Saturday morning and we had 11 in the family. The parking lot was full I was so surprised when we walked that the place wasn't completely packed. The inside is bigger than you think. Our waitress was fast and friendly. The food was so good and so many things on the menu I want to try. I have to go back read more

Love the freshness and the fact they have diced potatoes, rather than greasy hashbrowns :) only breakfast place I enjoy going to!! Usually very busy, but if you get up a smidge early, you're all good! read more

9am is a quiet time here. Past experiences have been rather busy with lunch crowd, but they still keep food flowing thru. Lemon curd pancakes stuffed with ricotta have been ordered a second time by my wife. I enjoy finishing them off. The seasonal holiday tacos were the suggestion by the server. Everything was very tasty. Cami was a very nice server. read more

Great place for breakfast or brunch. We got there around 9am & there was no wait for indoor or outdoor seating. Our server Kaiylah was awesome. She had great suggestions & knew the menu well. I took her suggestion & upgraded to the million dollar bacon for my egg sandwich. I was not disappointed! My husband tried the new seasonal menu item of the croissant egg sandwich. It was a little hardier than my sandwich with bacon & sausage. We were both pleased with our choices. Coffee is great & the service was superb. Lots of traditional favorites to choose from on the menu with some new twists on the classics as well. If you love breakfast, you need to try First Watch. read more

This review will not have any impact on this place as it was packed and a line waiting to be seated. However, this might keep a few from thinking this place is great - it is not! I don't get it - the million dollar bacon was a disappointment- I thought it would be thick and crispy. It as flat, greasy and very undercooked! When I asked the waitress a question about the ham she said "I don't know, I don't eat ham". Well I didn't ask her if she ate ham, I asked if the ham was the salty county ham type. I guess she forgot she isn't a waitress, she's a food salesperson who needs to know her products - so she can sell food!!! Cobb salad was a joke. The diced turkey was cut up deli meat - not fresh roasted, there was only one small sliver of avocado, the lettuce looked like it was pulled from a weed patch. Waitress was busy, I respect the hustle - but she told us several times she would be back as she flew by our table. We finally got her to stand still when it was time for the check. The place is loud, so don't expect to hold a conversation. Bathroom was filthy! I get it - it was a busy Saturday late morning - but management needs to assign someone to check the bathrooms. Again, I personally do not know what the big draw to this place is - the food is clearly not worth the wait. The staff appears exhausted and no time to actually wait in tables. Hostess stand gals were lovely however. read more

I have been here a few different times and every single time it has been on a weekend (meaning they are so busy) but the staff still tries their best to accommodate us and get us our food quick! Everything we've ordered has hit the spot for breakfast, I always get an omelette and some sort of pancake. The potatoes are delicious as well! Only downside is it can get pretty busy/loud read more

I've been to first watch restaurants in different states and no matter what it always stays the same great food great coffee great service from the managers as well as the employees overall great experience. There's only ones I've been and they were late with my order because they were really busy and they even comped the meal free and apologized for the weight. They really are just one of the best breakfast restaurants out there and really do appreciate and show love to their customers. read more

Service was great! Servers are friendly, restaurant's thoughtfully done. Food was... prefab? Partner and I went in at 12:45, just 15 after the typical lunch and it took the kitchen 15 minutes to get out two sandwiches that were just lunch meat and veg. Wouldn't be an issue, if these sandwiches weren't hot on the edge and cold in the center, with cheese melted over my avocado and sweaty in the center. When we complained to the manager, he informed us that our sandwiches were supposed to be cold. Cold meat and cheese with melted, sweaty edges, not a fan. Not a fault of management, kitchen definitely needs help later in the day. Surprising considering reviews are so great! read more

I'll be honest, this one had to grow on me. I'm more of a kinda-sketchy diner guy when it comes to breakfast, but my family is apparently a bit more refined and ask to come here instead. I'm in. Big perk is that they are very allergy-friendly and take great care to make sure you're taken care of, which is wonderful. (Kinda-sketchy diners don't compare in this respect.) The rotating seasonal menu is especially fun, though of course you never know how it will turn out - but hey, that's the fun in it, right? I've been pleasantly surprised more than disappointed. And of course the regular staples are great. The restaurant itself is very open and inviting, and feels very upscale Midwest in the best way. Great spot for families, as pretty much anyone can get what they're looking for! Highly recommend hopping online first to put your name in line - it can get very busy (this is a congested part of town for retail) so on weekends especially you'll want to save some time. read more

It was definitely packed on a Sunday around 11. We just checked in online when we were on the way and got seated almost immediately once we checked in. It is super loud in there so it's not great if you want to have a conversation. I had the barbacoa chilaquiles from the seasonal menu. Chilaquiles is my favorite breakfast so I love seeing it on a menu and will always order it. It had a great balance of fresh toppings like pico and avocado to balance out the richness of the barbacoa, black beans, and sauce. My mom had the traditional breakfast. The sausage was her favorite. She also loved that the leave the full carafe of coffee for you instead of just refilling your cup. My brother liked the chickichanga but wasn't a fan of the breakfast potatoes. He also liked the seasonal Honey Crunch iced coffee. We all split the holey donuts with the berry compote. That was probably the best bite of the whole meal. All the staff were moving quickly and friendly but it still took maybe 30 minutes to get our food. Our plates came out at different times which just an accident I think. We'll definitely be back, I think in the Spring/Summer when we can eat on the patio. It looked like they have a very nice patio with fans and heaters. read more

We needed more brunch spots on the south-side, so happy to see First Watch in Greenwood. Looks like everyone is enjoying First watch, Ha! We waited 40 minutes to be seated on a Saturday morning and then waited 10 minutes for our drinks to come and 30 minutes for the food to arrive. Hoping wait time improves we are giving them the benefit of the doubt because that they are still new. The Biscuits and turkey gravy with eggs and potatoes was delicious. The lemon ricotta pancakes were good but the lemon custard was a lot, I wish they'd put it on the side instead of plopped on the pancake, next time I would ask for it on the side. None the less it was good!! Ambiance is nice, I love the cardinal mural on the wall. There is not enough room for waiting customers and it doesn't help that customers pay up front right by the front door it was very crowded and overwhelming. Overall, I recommend going to brunch at First Watch. Cheers! read more

My friend has mentioned this restaurant multiple times and I've heard good things (she lives in another town) so when it opened near us I was excited to try it. It is a new spot for the Southside so keep that in mind as many people are eager to try it and waits are a bit longer now. The inside is wooden with great style and very airy, lots of tables and booths as well as some space for eating at the bar. Our party of four got a table after about 35 minutes which wasn't bad given the hour, but so give them grace as they are just working out the kinks! Our waitresses were friendly and quick, so we got served quickly once seated and were able to peruse the menu. All of the options for breakfast and brunch are delicious looking, but I tried lunch with a veggie sandwich and fresh salad. It was very fresh and perfectly 'roasted' with the salad being light and flavorful. I would for sure get it again. The rest of the table inhaled their food and said they would return, especially given the portion sizes were good for the cost. One lady even said there was so much meat on hers it was too big to eat! A good problem to have for sure. I enjoyed it and will return to try something else, as many healthy and yummy looking options. Definitely give it a try if you haven't already! read more

I finally had some free time to try First Watch. loved being greeted at the table with a large coffee cup and a carafe of coffee. Our waitress was fun, friendly, and quick. The food was tasty and served with fresh farm to table ingredients that were not heavy with oils or sauces. The open concept with the room is fine but can be a bit noisy. Our daughter is neuro-divergent so loud busy areas can be a challenge. I want to go back and try more variety as their menu changes. Looking forward to the return! read more

This wonderful new brunch spot just opened in Greenwood where the former Famous Dave's used to be. When you walk in, the entire place is brightly lit with natural sunlight and it looks clean and inviting. I tried several things - the Purple Haze non-alcoholic drink, cheesy grits, million dollar bacon and the lemon ricotta pancakes. Everything was pretty amazing, with the exception of the grits. The Purple Haze drink is not only beautiful, but tastes light and refreshing- I could definitely sip on those all day. The bacon was perfect- cooked crispy the way I like it and the pancakes were pretty epic! The serving size is huge- I definitely have enough for a third meal. My only dislike was the grits. They weren't bad, but they were a little watery and bland. Will definitely return and bring family in when they're visiting from out of town. read more

Good food. Great Service. Nice ambience. Had a lot of fun with my friends and family.

After hearing great things about First Watch my wife & I decided to try it. We really wanted to like it. Let me start by saying the service was very good. We found the atmosphere interesting. The food choices we felt were limited & very ummm.... Upscale. In addition the taste of the food was just okay. The pancake my wife had was okay. The bacon was decent. My cheesy grits were decent & the omelet was merely ok. We really wanted to like this place but there are other places on the south side we prefer much more. We'll hit those places before going back to First Watch. read more

First watch had become a fav for us. Close by and although always busy, we seem to get lucky and always get a table right away. Coffee is good and they always leave the pitcher so hot refills are at your finger tips. We typically get the farm house hash but have tried the pumpkin pancakes and million dollar bacon items as well. We're never disappointed. Servers are always on the run but never slack on service. It's great knowing your getting decent quality food for your body read more

We were in the area and hungry so decided to have lunch here. We were greeted at the door and seated very quickly. The restaurant was decorated in a country style and was appealing. Our server came to the table fairly quickly and she was very friendly and helpful with menu advice since it was our first visit. I had a lunch special of half a pecan salad and half a turkey club. The food was tasty and just the right amount for a clean plate. The lunch pricing was good too. We would definitely go back if we're in the area. read more

Was invited by friends to go check out this restaurant. I wasn't sure what to expect since the building was transformed from an old barbecue restaurant to a breakfast and brunch joint but wow! Well done! The interior ambiance is beautiful and clean. The service was great and my food was delicious. I had an omelet with salmon, and gluten free bread. First of all, THANK YOU for not overcharging me for a gluten free option, and instead, offering it for free of charge. Most don't. So thank you. Everything eaten at our table was well loved. Thanks for everything! I'll definitely be back! read more

We saw First Watch come to our side of town and wanted to check it out. We had a wait of about 45 minutes. It's to be expected in a newer location. The building has been completely renovated.

The gut and remodel job of transitioning this building from a Famous Dave's to First Watch is fantastic. It's open and bright and airy - a total turnaround from the sectioned-off, 80's-90's decor, dark dining room trend. The food here was pretty good. I really enjoyed the chile chorizo omelette. The eggs could have been cooked a little more slowly to prevent browning, but overall, the flavor combination of the fillings made it enjoyable. Their coffee concept of leaving the entire pot on the table is a nice touch so that patrons do not have to wait around for their server to give them a top-off or warmup. Service was friendly, but not overly attentive. The servers and food runners all seemed very busy, leaving me to wonder if they are shorthanded on staff here. read more
