Assert your unpopular opinion here: I think First Watch is better than Patachou. There, I said it. When I found out First Watch is a... wait for it... chain restaurant, I was shocked. The farm-to-table promise is one that not many chains can execute, but First Watch does so time and time again. Each time I visit a First Watch, I try something new, and I've yet to be disappointed. read more

First Watch - The Elevated Egg Sandwich, sub roasted turkey for bacon | First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We usually order at home on the weekends so we can lounge about and simply not get dressed! We decided to drive around and look for a "less crowded" place. Everyone is probably in the same boat we are, anxious to run-a-way from home first chance, if only for a few hours! We were seated after just a few minutes-we chose outdoor seating. The coffee was hot, fresh and so good! I forget sometimes, how a simple cup of joe, without all the fancy stuff, tastes! Ordered the Trifecta-waffle (good), eggs over medium (they weren't but edible) with chicken sausage-a first but good! Lastly, got the watermelon drink, def recommend read more

Food was delicious, however, it was extremely busy and service was not a good reflection of the other times I've visited.

Jerks! Of course they only do this when you pick up your order! This is what they literally had the audacity to give me as a "side of fruit"! I will Never waste my time going to this place again! Way too expensive for them to screw over paying customers like this! read more

First Watch - My "side of fruit". Really nice! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Everhing is tasty and the service is great . It's sineonwhatt quiet fir a breakfast. Nice

First time here and won't be the last. Sat for breakfast with a business companion. The choices were great and a large healthy menu option. I tried the quinoa mushroom sausage protein bowl and of course some coffee. The food was excellent. Very tasty, well plated and perfect temperature. Coffee was good too and they left a small pot on the table as well as a carafe of water. That helped so we could serve ourselves as needed. Staff was friendly and there when needed. It wasn't very crowded and the restaurant was well lit and very clean. I'll definitely return. read more

Definitely one of the best breakfast/brunch places in Indy. It's been pretty crowded anytime I've arrived during the weekend. Parma Hash Two eggs* any style atop a hash of fresh, seasoned potatoes, Italian sausage, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions and tomatoes with melted Parmesan, mozzarella and fresh herbs. Chickichanga® Whipped eggs with spicy all-natural white-meat chicken, chorizo sausage, green chilies, Cheddar and Monterey Jack, onions and avocado rolled in a flour tortilla.

Great experience at first watch. Our food came out quick and it was so fresh and delicious. Our waitress was awesome and kind. We used Yelp to get on the waitlist and that was awesome. Would definitely go again. It was little bit more on the pricier side than a standard brunch but not too bad. I will say the hostess is the reason I'm not giving it five stars. She was unwelcoming and frankly rude. read more

Get the bacon. I know it's $5 for 4 strips of bacon but DO IT! I promise you won't regret it. Thick, delicious bacon with fantastic seasoning and dripping in maple syrup...ok, now I want more bacon! One of my favorite brunch spots. Great healthy options but also has a healthy spin on the traditional stuff. The last time I went I had a quinoa bowl which I was hesitant to try but the waitress takes me into. It was delicious and I didn't feel terrible after I ate it. My boyfriend got the southwest tacos (not 100% sure of the name) and he loved them. They have some really unique combinations of stuff. Good coffee, friendly staff and convenient location...doesn't get much better than that! Only thing I would add is bottomless mimosas! read more

Definitely one of our go to places! Fresh, good food, great mix of foods on the menu, and good service. They are only open for breakfast and lunch, but serve both kinds foods the entire time. Had the Superfoods bowl for breakfast. I got a salad to go for lunch. As busy as they stay, their team does an amazing job. read more

Really great breakfast place. I have meet friends and work associates here for dozens of meetings and have a healthy and fresh morning meal. The food looks like something from a magazine. And the quality and flavors are right there with it. So far I can't even find much to give form of constructive criticism. They do right. read more

We were excited to try this cafe on our lunch break. We sat for 5 minutes waiting for first contact with a waiter. He came with coffee eventually but neither wanted coffee. Waiter took order for food and drinks. Waited 10 more minutes and had to leave as we hadn't even gotten our drinks yet. May be a great place to eat if you got the day to commit to it. read more

First Watch Café I ordered the veggie burger with greens on the side. It was made vegan, and the waitress made sure that the ingredients were vegan. I didn't eat the side mustard because it had mayo in it, so opted for ketchup instead. The service was good, but I did feel rushed from it and food was prepared super duper fast! Also for a Café that is supposed to have healthy options, I am disappointed with the few about of vegan options! The veggie burger I had was just ok. Something about the flavor was missing and the bread seemed very dry, so I took it off. I would have liked some more fresh veggies on the burger as well and the side salad seemed very bland and would have been better with some chopped veggies on top, even just a little bit of carrots on top. Everything on the menu is priced fairly reasonably and with a large menu, if you bring a group of people, there is surely going to be something on the menu to eat, even for vegans. read more

Great food, I love the avocado toast. My daughter's friend got the French toasts. She loves it. Definitely will go back.

I wasn't sure what to expect other than a variety of breakfast and brunch foods. What I found was pretty good food, some even really tasty, in a casual diner setting. There was plenty of parking out front of this strip mall restaurant. The outside and walls looked nicely decorated/styled though the floor was left as concrete (I'm not a fan of concrete floors in dining facilities that are stained from the previous owners. Just looks dingy.) We were quickly seated, had our orders taken and delivered and were given a self pour water bottle (no ice) for our beverages. The water was chilled. My wife ordered a Chicken Salad Melt that came with a choice of salad or soup. She went with the Tomato Bisque. She thought the sandwich was pretty good noting that the thick cut multi-grain toast was the tastiest part. The toppings were good with nice portion size too. She did say the soup was lackluster, tasting like the canned stuff we get at the grocery. I ordered the special Heirloom Tomato & Burrata toast. It had the same delicious toast as a base and was topped with marinated heirloom tomatoes, a hefty dollop of burrata cheese and lightly seasoned. Very good! I liked that I was given a steak knife which made quick work of the slicing. The plate also had two sunny side up eggs which paired well with the main item. I also tried the Millionaire's Bacon and though it did have a lot of tasty ingredients, the overall effect was disappointing. There were four strips of hardwood smoked bacon laid out on the serving plate. They seemed thick cut and appeared crisp (Yeah!) They were coated with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne, and maple syrup. The first bite was tremendous! Lots of depth to the flavor and the trailing heat was good. However, the more I ate, the more I noticed the bacon seemed to be a bit chewy and soggy possibly due to the moisture in the other ingredients. The heat definitely continued to build and eventually, for me, overwhelmed the bacon flavor. Although I applaud the idea of mixing the flavors, I don't want to lose the bacon as the main taste. Although you can either pay your waitress (which I did) or pay the cashier, I recommend paying up front since our server had just seated two more tables and was attending them when we were ready. No big deal, but after collecting my card for payment, she handed the card to the cashier who then came back to the table for the signature. So, to save yourself time and their staff effort, just pay up front. Review #331 read more

Everything was everything you want for breakfast. Service was great the menu is outstanding and the flavors and freshness was on point

I had family I was visiting from out of town and I heard that this place had options for almost anyone from non-alcoholic to gluten free etc. I went on their website and put our name in. I was told it would be ready by 12:30. When we arrive, the staff said they could not find the name asked me if it was another name. I didn't talk to another lady and she was really rude and sarcastic and try to essentially say that there's another location that's close by and that's why my name wasn't showing up. After driving almost an hour, this is really disappointing and not to mention that the lady was being very condescending to the point where we ended up leaving. I was really sad because I've heard so much from how great this place was but from our experience, we couldn't even get past the door. I will be sure to let their GM Mr. Lee know. read more

First Watch - Quinoa and over easy eggs...I forgot to ask for egg whites today - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Went today and was seated immediately because I joined the wait list in advance! Not many other brunch options allow you that choice or to make reservations so I've been choosing First Watch most often for brunch in this area lately. I always love the million dollar bacon, lemon ricotta pancakes and avocado toast. For a pretty busy place, the ambiance is pretty relaxed and I never feel like the staff are rushing around or stressed. No fuss, a little trendy, great food and realizable service! read more

I wanted to try everything on the menu but opted for the yogurt bowl. They seemed family friendly based on the groups waiting. The one downside was we waited a long time for a table which seemed abnormal for a breakfast restaurant. Will definitely go back! read more

The inside is beautiful. They have big comfortable tables and booths. Didn't have to wait long once seated. The menu items are different, but they definitely sound good. I ordered the tri-fecta which comes with two eggs and a waffle. It also comes with your choice of meat. The food was delicious. I also ordered a side of biscuits and gravy just to try out their biscuits and gravy and I was not disappointed. It has a different taste but it is actually pretty delicious. It was a little bit expensive but not too bad. I would definitely come back. read more

I was dreaming about this food every day after an event that I got to try some yummy food so much I came again. Got the eggs Benedict and lemon ricotta pancakes. ((Something New and something I needed lol)) I was unimpressed with the service overall. It was very busy so maybe it was a one off but I was there for over an hour just by myself eating which was a bit longer I would expect for a breakfast place. Then I had a coupon for a free item and he was rushing when cashing me out and never applied it then just of guessed the refund I should have had. The pancakes were very dry not nearly as good as the first time. I would try again but disappointed this visit read more

Pretty good breakfast/brunch spot! Definitely a place to stop by when you're in Castleton. The atmosphere and the people were really nice. Got the million dollar bacon everyone raved about and was not disappointed. The chickichanga however wasn't my favorite. The flavors just kind of blended together. The menu has a good variety though and I would definitely look into trying it again! **They do not have mimosas** read more

I tend to prefer local breakfast spots and diners, and tend to be fussy over visiting chains. With that said, we had some errands to run, breakfast on our minds, this was on the way and didn't seem too busy for a Sunday morning. Very glad we gave this place a chance! I had the Traditional Breakfast with Eggs Over Medium and a nice Slice of Ham. The husband had the Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast, also Eggs Over Medium with a Chicken Sausage Patty. The baby had Grits with Carrot Ginger Chia Juice. We also got a side of the Millionaire's Bacon dripping with Maple Syrup and a dash of cayenne. The baby even swiped a piece and tried to nurse it! Everything was just as tasty as could be! The service was also spot on! Each of the servers showed an interest in making sure everyone was enjoying their meal. Plus they told me how cute our boy is :) read more

Super busy. Wait time was about 30 minutes longer than stated at start. People are friendly but slow but that was likely due to how busy they were. Dont come hungry or you will be hangry by the time they take your order. When the food came it was not what was ordered. It was just tolerable. The atmosphere was good. Nice looking place. read more

Went to the Keystone at the Crissinf location to celebrate a birthday. Added our name to the list while on our way to the location. This made wait time very minimal! Food and service was great! read more

Do not eat here waited 45 mins and never got food. Asked to talk to management and was told there to busy. Will never come here again.

Food is great, service is excellent. The sweet options were really good, savory options were good and creative.

Alexis was awesome!! Her customer service is something to brag about. The restaurant was short staffed but she made us feel very welcome and not rushed at all. We had requested a non buttered toast and the chef had accidentally buttered ours so Alexis placed the order for another one right away. Her thoughtfulness was very much appreciated. We will come back to this restaurant because of the high standards of customer service. Well done! read more

I put our name in online and was seated very quickly. It was very busy but we received our food fast and it was good. Would recommend.

Love me some BRUNCH. Two friends and I went here at 10:30am on a Saturday, and was told it would be about a 15-20 min wait, but it was worth it! They even brought out coffee for people who were waiting-so hospitable! Everything on the menu sounded so delicious, it took us a good 10 minutes to decide what to order. We all ended up getting the Trifecta, which gives you a pancake or waffle, with two eggs and choice of a meat. The waitress told me I could substitute the lemon ricotta pancake for a small up charge, which was the other item I had my eyes on...so that's what I did and WOWZA!!! The pancake was heavenly! So soft, so fluffy...and topped with a lemon creamy custard and fresh strawberries, good Lord... The coffee is really good too, which makes a big difference to me. My friend also took note of the warm syrup which she appreciated and the cozy, farmhouse style and decor. Overall I was really impressed, looking forward to going back! read more

Had a chance to stop last week during the Yelp elite event. Was very impressed! Got to sample a variety of menu items including the pancakes, avocado toast, and fantastic bacon. The kale tonic was also surprisingly refreshing. I don't often have the opportunity to enjoy a dine-in breakfast so this was a real treat. Menu also has lunch items which I would definitely like to try. Everything was delicious and outside the "normal" of what you would expect at a breakfast restaurant. Service was quick and attentive. I will definitely be back to this restaurant. read more

This places was delicious. Everything was great from the atmosphere, to our waiter, to the amazing food. I got the Million Dollar Breakfast sandwich and it was soo good I forgot to take a picture.

Always good. I have eaten at First Watch in Ohio, Florida, and Indiana. Never disappointed. Today I had the Monterey Club - without bacon. Turkey, avocado, spring greens an cheese Monterey Jack. Side of green mix with a lemon vinaigrette. Very tasty. Total under $15. So good price. Friendly staff From experience I know breakfast on weekends particularly are crowed with a wait. As wit all good breakfast places. read more

We have visited First Watch restaurants on some of our past Florida travels, but this is the first time going to one here in Indiana. We visited this particular location on Saturday (8/13/16) and it was a good experience. Arriving at noon we found the restaurant to be pretty busy with several people seated and a couple families waiting to be seated. I approached the hostess station and she said they would have seating in just a few minutes. She then asked me for my phone number so they could send a text to let us know when we would be seated. I gave her my cell # and there is an App that you can download on your phone that shows how many people are ahead of you....so cool! We were sitting at a booth in under 5 minutes. We ordered our coffee and made our decisions on the food. The food came out pretty quickly and it was very good. I had the Farmstand Breakfast Tacos, (you get 3 of these) which I enjoyed and they came with a side of black beans, which were very tasty. My husband had the Lemon Ricotta pancakes, which I tasted and thought they were very good (love the lemon curd). We shared a drink from the juice bar, called Day Glow, which is carrot, orange juice, lemon, and organic ginger. We both thought the drink was refreshing and something different than a traditional glass of OJ. Service was good and we had a pot of hot coffee to refill our own cups. During our visit, we noticed how busy the busser was during our visit. He was continually keeping the tables cleaned off and ready for the next customer. Nice menu selections, excellent food, and good service are the stand out features here! Will definitely be back for another visit. Review #33 08/18/16 read more

I eat a lot of breakfast food and am always looking for a good, unique eatery to add to the weekly repertoire. After trying breakfast here, I feel that 3 stars is being generous.... but left willing to give it a second try. My husband ordered the carrot cake pancakes with eggs and sausage. The pancake was fine, but not something I would get again. I would definitely try a different type. They charge extra for "real" maple syrup. Who does that??? And we asked for real butter not the fake stuff (dietary restrictions) but they only had the whipped spread. So fake butter, fake syrup, no cream, instead fake creamer packets, but the restaurant claims to be all about health. For a place that is supposed to be all about healthy eating, this seems pretty incongruent. For me, it was a Key West Crepegg - A thin crepe layered with eggs, turkey, avocado, bacon, tomatoes and Monterey Jack. Topped with sour cream and served with an English muffin and a side of housemade salsa. The egg was cooked into the crepe more like a hard crunchy omelet. And the housemade salsa was Pace Picante. Very little turkey, avocado, bacon and no cheese was in there. Maybe the kitchen is still working the kinks out. The service was good, the outside seating is great, and I would go back to try something else. But this experience was just meh. read more

First watch is one of my favorite breakfast spots. They have a very versatile menu and you really can't go wrong with anything you choose! I most recently tried the works omelet and the ingredients tasted very fresh. I appreciated how my takeout order was still hot & well prepared even though I wasn't dining in. The customer service was also great so I will be paying this place another visit. Highly recommend trying their seasonal items and their juices, they will not disappoint. read more

Rick and I planned to visit a new breakfast spot and this one ended up being the place. Housed in the former location of my beloved Sunrise Cafe, I had high hopes but low expectations. I must say, First Watch came shining through and we'll definitely be back! I first encountered First Watch when I lived in Kansas City, Missouri. They were always packed. This location was not, and I'm not really sure why. We were seated promptly and cheerfully, our orders were taken quickly, and we were served within a reasonable amount of time. Nice atmosphere - good selection of music that is not overpowering. For my breakfast I ordered the limited time Bacado omelette made with egg whites. It consists of egg whites stuffed with avocado slices, cheese and crumbled bacon. This omelette is served with seasoned potatoes, an English muffin and a side of salsa. It was exactly what I expected and satisfied my craving for avocado! If you are counting on food bursting with flavor (i.e. - highly spiced) this is not the place to visit. Rick commented that the sausage in his gravy was milder than he preferred. It didn't taste BAD...we just both like a little more heat and neither one of our entrees delivered in that category. The coffee is really good and there was a nice selection of creamers available should you choose to go that route. Overall, a very satisfying breakfast. read more
