We really enjoyed this location. When we arrived we sat away. We didn't wait long for our server and the food came out quickly. I got the seasonal BEC and that was really tasty! The only slight hiccup was that since it was sourdough bread I had very conflicting sizes of bread depending on what side I picked it up from. I got the new pineapple drink and it was really refreshing. My husband got the pesto chicken quinoa bowl and enjoyed it. We will be back. read more

Love coming here. I have come by myself, with my son, family brunch, it has something for everyone! Very family friendly. It can get very busy. Pro Tip: go on the website and get on the waiting list on busy days ON YOUR WAY THERE. You get in front of everyone walking through the door. Just checking when you get there. Wait will then be 5-10 min. There is also a community table when you first come in. Anyone can sit there if seats available. Like a bar. Everything on the menu is amazing. Get one of their morning sunrise. It's delicious! Great service and quality food!! Never leave hungry. read more

My husband and I are big fans of First Watch. I think we have been to all of their Jacksonville locations. My go-to meals here are BLTE, Market Veggie, Power Breakfast Quinoa and Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowls. Their seasonal menu of Shrimp and Grits is also another favorite, I wish they would just permanently add them in their regular menu. I would also prefer larger portions in their power bowls as I am still hungry after lol. Although there maybe times that we had to wait, once seated, service is quick. Great spot for brunch, and they even offer BOGO deals on your birthday! Just sign up on their website! read more

We went for brunch at First Watch today and had a great experience from start to finish. Even though they were busy, we only waited a couple of minutes to be seated. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything was delicious. The omelettes were fresh and flavorful, and the pancakes were excellent. Efficient service, great food, and a pleasant atmosphere--exactly what you want for brunch. We'll definitely be back. read more

Food is superior, the coffee goes very well w/breakfast. Team is kind & doesn't miss a lick, you must give this fine institution a try!

The staff was friendly, the place was full but our server was very fast with with getting drinks and the food came out just as fast. I get the Chickichanga every time even when I have the intent to switch it up. It just never disappoints, the flavors pop, the potatoes are delicious, and the morning meditation is refreshing and rejuvenating read more

This review is mainly for the service. Me and a couple of my friends usually go to the first watch on argyle, but I recently started going to this first watch and it did not disappoint! Our server Alyssa was extremely attentive and so kind. Our food came out in great time with everything how we were wanting it to come out. Can't wait to go back, and definitely asking for her again! read more

We love First Watch. It is always our go to for breakfast. Saturday morning we expected to be busy. But we got seated pretty quickly. It was a celebration for my 75th birthday. The fall pancakes were amazing and the chicken and apple sausage were delicious. I also need to congratulate Trinity for making this BD breakfast so special, she was very attentive and very professional. We will ask for her the next time we visit our favorite restaurant!! Congratulations to Trinity and the First Watch team!!! Should be 10 stars!! read more

Indulging in fall flavors with friends at First Watch: Harvest hash, fresh coffee, French toast and a hearty Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl. Protein-packed quinoa, roasted mushrooms, kale, and more, topped with Parmesan and lemon white balsamic dressing. Plus the Harvest Hash a brunch worth savoring! They did not have the Fall Seasonal pumpkin pancakes which we went for. So we got the Banana Granola Almond Crunch multigrain Pancake instead. The potatoes were kind of very salty for my taste. The service was quick and friendly. The place was very busy for a weekend morning breakfast hour had to wait for a while. read more

Lylah was really great. Service with a smile and a very pleasant spirit. The trifecta is good but just enough to put on your stomach. The French toast was so fluffy and delicious. The stop was nice and hot. Eggs were fluffy. Bacon was very crispy. Nice music and enjoyable seating on the patio if it's too cold inside. If you like Shirley temples try a spirit with blackberry syrup. So delicious! read more

The food is good. The company is okay. Would recommend in a pinch. Not the best thing around

We love this plaza because it has SO much in here but this is a favorite breakfast spot! We got the million dollar bacon to start because if you're here - you have to get this!!! It's always seasoned to perfection with the perfect amount of spice. If you haven't tried it, please do! I got the egg sandwich with the runny egg & avocado which was really fresh and tasty. I'm not a huge fan of their breakfast potato's but the grits were so yummy!! We went around 1030am on a Sunday and there was no wait but anything past this time on a Sunday there will be a wait due to the many churches around. read more

Went for breakfast after fasting for 24 hours. It was me and my daughter. Sat down quickly a waiter came by quickly and food came out quickly. Waiter Jared was very good attentive, friendly and got us what we wanted right away. I wasn't in a hurry but liked the fact it was busy and we were well attended. The place is always clean. The men's bathroom was out of order and it said to use the handicap bathroom. Only one stall in each bathroom Now the food the avocado toast was very good. My yogurt tasted like any yogurt granola bowl and was $11.49. My daughter had a Kale Tonic drink plus a trad w/meat and left more than half of the potatoes. She said it was too rich. Why the 4 stars, $63.54 for breakfast was too steep in my opinion. I also don't like to wait the line to pay after our meals. If you have bad timing you will wait a while. In closing good food and service but too pricey to come back. read more

Went here after a night of drinking with some friends and it really hit the hangover spot lol. The energy and food were beyond yummy.

I know this is a chain but this first watch is amazing! I did like the ambiance and the service there was nice and quick. The only complaint I had was that my server looked unpleased during their shift and made my family feel awkward asking for a napkin . read more

Since this cute breakfast/brunch place had opened near me, I have been dying to try it out. Finally got a chance to take my girlfriend here, while the dining area is super spacious and nicely decorated, I didn't get that the cozy ambiance when entered. Since we were social distancing, the waitress sat us pretty far apart from other customers, which is great and considerate. I ordered the eggs Benedict with veggies, while the eggs were cooked nicely, the salad that served with was not fresh and mostly inedible. So I had to throw that out, there was no sauce or dressing so my eggs were bland. I'm unsure if I'd come back, since my food was not great and it was some what pricey for breakfast. It's hard to say if I could give it another chance. We'll see... read more

Good service. Food was good. Wooden chairs are uncomfortable and they need cushions. Had to mix my own drink. All and all i was satisfied but not amazed read more

Food consistently good Service very good Ambiance excellent t Love First Watch. I've been to three different locations and all of them were great. read more

Busy? Yes. Fast orders? Yes. Tasty and delicious variety of food for all ages and appetites? Yes. Amazing lighting, atmosphere and comfortable temp store vs outside the restaurant? Absolutely. First watch always has some of the best combinations of drinks from their juice bar. The Floridian French toast was super tasty and I enjoyed the fruit on it. Over all i was super glad to see one of my favorite chains in both places that claim my heart as my home. read more

The breakfast with eggs potatoes and bacon is amazing! The potatoes with some onion if you like onion is delicious

This location keeps shorting our meals. I recently moved to the area but visit all first watch locations and advised the manager of the issue. Went two more times and I'm done visiting this location. The last visit they rushed us up out of there and gave us a market hash that was not fresh even the waiter said it doesn't look right and had to take it back. Food is trash. You can tell the cook does not like his job! read more

This First Watch location never misses. The service is top notch, the food is always excellent, and the juices and coffee are delicious. Whether you are eating breakfast or lunch, you'll be pleased with your options. If I could eat the chicken avocado chop salad any time of day, I would! It's an amazing menu item that gets overlooked because of the delicious brunch options. I'm so glad to have moved back to this side of Jacksonville, because I've truly missed this First Watch location! read more

You can never really go wrong with First Watch! I mean what it not to love? Breakfast, brunch, or lunch- they have everything from healthy to comfort food. One thing I absolutely love is the check in options you can do to avoid a long wait. Their pressed juices are delicious! My daughter and I had the blueberry booster today. I have a massive sweet tooth but when I am at First Watch I tend to go savory and not had a meal disappoint. I ordered the Baja chicken burrito bowl that taste amazing with the fried egg mixing with the gains and black beans. When we have guest visiting this is one of our go to spots read more

Once my favorite First Watch location for years, but the past few months have been consistently disappointing. Cold burnt bacon, overcooked eggs and such (even on days with no rush of people). I used to be here several times a month and loved it...now I avoid. read more

I thought that the service as well as the cleanliness/ambiance of this restaurant was very good. We were able to get in the quick at about 8:30am on a Saturday too. I was a bit disappointed by the food. I got the BLT Benedict. It was very lemon-y and then the bread it was on was half burnt. I did let the waitress know at the end and showed her and she apologized but that was it. My husband got the breakfast tacos which he said was okay. The eggs were a bit over cooked and then he noticed black spots on his avocado so he stopped eating at that point. With that all said, we probably won't be back here again. read more

Good place to have a good brunch where the wait was not too long and the service was awesome. The eggs Benedict were good but not great. In general Yes I will go again read more

First Watch, one of our favorite Brunch places to go eat at. And this is one of my favorite locations to go to because it's of course close to home, plus the staff here are outstanding. I've never had a bad experience yet. My personal favorite item is the Power Wrap, a regular menu item which I have ordered multitudes of time. It's a light and healthy wrap. Pair that up with some of their house made coffee and I am set to go for the day. Aside from the Power Wrap, I have, however been slowly venturing and trying other items. What makes First Watch special for me are their ever changing menu items, especially their Seasonal Menus. They change it up from time to time. One problem however, some of those Seasonal Menu items are really sooo good and delicious, that it takes forever to get reintroduced. The Shrimps and Grits at First Watch ARE THE BEST I've ever had. It's been awhile back ago since I've had it....and I'm still waiting for its comeback. Hint, hint...please First Watch, bring it back. The other Seasonal Items I have tried has been on point delicious as well. Other than that, keep doing what you're doing First Watch, and I will loyally keep coming back for more and more. read more

I have been to other First Watch restaurants. This one is the best!! Everything from the service, the food, to the ambience. From the minute you walk in you're treated like family. Never have I had an issue here. When I've had questions or if I wanted to change something on the menu there has never been an issue made out of it. This most recent experience was amazing. I can't eat certain things. So I asked what the carbs, sodium and sugar grams were. The young woman just went and asked came back and gave me the answers. She never once expressed any aggravation or frustration. She did it all with a smile on her face and so courteous. That is true customer service. She made a few adjustments to my order and didn't even charge me extra. Amazing for today's times. The manager here is doing a fantastic job with his employees shout out to him. I personally thank you. read more
