    I have been to First Watch several times, but this was my first time at this location and it was truly enjoyable. A catch up between girlfriends was fun with a tasty breakfast. Waitress was helpful without being overbearing. Checking in on us. Lowkey, easy going vibes here. Nice and clean atmosphere. The power breakfast bowl was so tasty. Didn't need additional seasoning. Flavored just right. Of course I added a little hot sauce because...why not. Affordable, entire bill with tip was less than $20.

    Tried out the Strawberry tres leche French toast! Yum! We went on a Sunday, and it was pretty busy but our waiter was very attentive and polite. First watch is our alternative brunch spot when we don't feel like crossing the bridge for Cracker Barrel lol. Just about anything on the menu is a delicious option!

    Eggs Benedict with potatoes-not mine

    11/23/25. I must say I'm amazed lately how many people go out to eat! Here a Sunday morning 9:30-10:00 am and the place was packed! We were saying goodbye to family and decided to meet for breakfast (not sure why all those other people were there...lol). Service was good, food was good, prices on the high end but you left feeling like you ate. The maple syrup was hot for our waffles/pancakes, eggs done right..I understand why people come....

    First Watch is a place where you can get Boutique-style cooking from a Chain restaurant. I particularly like this place because they have cleaner eat option. They're not afraid to mix their menu with new & infused flavors. They have fresh squeezed juices and tonics. Also, ordering coffee comes with your own karafe. Walking into the restaurant it's tables and booths. I've only gone during the week so it's not crowd. All the rave this time is Lavendar French Toast. The subtle taste of lavender sweetened by mousse was a delight & the Kale Tonic is my favorite IT's just refreshing. Also, at the Mandarin location, there are tables near outlets. I was able to do some work from home (WFH) while I was there. The wait staff were super accommodating.

    Very busy location with lots of seating inside and outside. Our server was very kind and professional. The hostess up front was so nice and he made sure that we were comfortable and properly seated within a timely manner. The dishes were made to order and the drinks and juices weee amazing. I really enjoyed the large portions of food with very reasonable prices.

    February 28, 2025 We enjoyed our visit. Our food looked good and tasted good. The customer service was pretty good especially considering they were quite busy that day. Coffee - $3.99 Chile chorizo omelette - $13.29 The works omelette - $13.79 Total sales tax - $2.33 Tip - $10

    This was disappointing. How do you serve an old, brown avocado spread.

    This was disappointing. How do you serve an old, brown avocado spread. And when I ask to change it for a fresh, they brought me another one the same way. The chef incharge should know better

    After a bit of shopping at Plaza, we decided to stop by First Watch for a quick bite. It's part of a chain with mostly a breakfast menu. We ordered oatmeal for my daughter, and I got an omelet, both of which were fresh and delicious. The highlight was the lemon bluberry pancake we had for dessert--so fresh and flavorful! We enjoyed our meal at First Watch, and it was a delightful stop. Free parking nearby. Clean, nice, but crowded as well as at other locations. There is plenty of free parking nearby.

    BLT eggs benedict
    Rachael O.

    Went here on a Sunday at 11am and got a table within 15 mins! Service was quick and our waitress was really friendly. The BLT Benedict was one of the best things I've gotten here so far! There was a lemon-y vinaigrette on top which really made the dish so unique and delicious, highly would recommend! There were tons of gluten free options for someone in our group. Outside & inside seating, we sat outside because it felt nice out. It's a little loud inside but outside was nice!

They have a spacious eating area as well as a spacious outdoor eating area. The outdoor eating are is covered very nicely and it provides adequate shade from the sun and it's off to the side making it a private dining experience. The food is so fresh and delicious. IMO, the deli cold cuts tastes like meat from a delicatessen. They make the chicken and potato salad in-house and it tastes that way. They have so many delicious options that I couldn't make up mind. I wanted soup and a sandwich but I didn't want to eat that much. The man behind the counter cheerful said, " get half a sandwich and soup special!" I had no idea they had that deal! The pictures do the meal no justice.. It really was a yummy lunch.

The location is in a strip mall and when you walk in there is a location for you to pick up your food. I got the Potato salad side as it was voted most popular. The next time I ordered for some reason it put my food over in the door dash type of pick up so if you do not see your food ask for it. The next time I got a chicken salad sandwich I ordered it on their marbled rye. Amazing sandwich. Best chicken salad I have ever had (other than my own) I never tried anything else so I can not review that, but the Chicken salad and potato salad are delicious.

I added the sauces to add flavor and heat. All in all, it was too much in one sitting so I took it home. I would recommend additional seasoning for the seafood & a lemon to squeeze over it and wake up the flavor.

It's a typical sports bar type of a vibe and I believe they do drink specials while games are on and if a certain team scores, etc. The people are always friendly and nice. We sit at the bar area and we're usually greeted right away. One of our favorite things on the menu was the blackened mahi wrap they removed that on their new menu, but we went in there and we were able to get it ordered because they still have whitefish it might've been grouper, but I didn't care. I find that there is inconsistencies with the kitchen. Sometimes we would get the wrap and it would be perfect other times there was hardly any fish and it was mostly lettuce and others it was lacking the other things such as the salsa and the cheese, etc. They have a great taco happy hour. Everything is 4 to 6 dollars from 4 to 6 PM , and this is again sometimes they're amazing and sometimes they're just so so. Overall, for the pricing and the atmosphere and the location, especially for us is a good go to for us. I just wish they were more consistent with the kitchen. All of their well drinks on happy hour is five dollars so that's a good deal right there. Also, they have side orders of things like onion rings and french fries if you don't wanna do a whole basket of it, which is super helpful if you wanna grab a few tacos and just want a little bit of onion rings

My friend ordered us the Pork Belly Kimchi Fries, I got us an order of the Cheese Curds, and for my entree I got an order of the Asian Sticky Wings. I probably would have never ordered the kimchi fries on my own. Sometimes kimchi can be fickle and really hit or miss. It was definitely a hit here. More on the sweet and tangy side but worked really well. Fries seasoned perfectly, and the pork belly cubed and cooked to perfection. Out of all of the times I've been to Wicked Barley, these fries have to be one of the best items I've had from there. Cheese curds were pretty basic. Tasted great, but nothing to write home about. If you like Cheese curds, you'll enjoy theirs. I originally had my eye on the jerk chicken wings and I was warned by the waitress and my friend that they are REALLY hot. Jerk chicken is generally one of those thats right on the borderline of too hot for me. To give you an idea, if you're familiar with Butthutt BBQ's jerk chicken, theirs is as far as I can go for spice level. So I switched it up to be safe, and I am glad I did. Sweet and sticky, these had really great flavor inside and out. Would definitely get these again in the future. Brought a couple home to the hubby and he seemed to enjoy them too, and he normally doesn't like, what he refers to as, "sweet meat". I had three different beers in my favorite tasting style, sour. I had the PB&J sour, the mango sour, and the orange cream sour. The orange cream was my favorite of the 3. We enjoyed the sounds of the band Splittone in the background and enjoyed the whole vibe of our meal. I'm hoping to visit again on a future weekend and possibly bringing one of my pups along with me since they are dog friendly.
