    My husband had a medical appointment nearby so I suggested we grab something to eat here before his appointment. I had eaten at this chain at other locations and always had a good experience. However, today's experience was not so great. Upon arrival, we had to wait about five minutes before anyone came by to seat us. Once seated, our waitress came over to take our drink orders. After looking over the menu, my husband ordered the Cobb salad and I got the works omelette. These two items are two of my standards and have always been good. However, my husband received no dressing with his salad. By the time our server returned with the check, I mentioned this to her. She said that dressing usually comes on the salad. I have had that salad a dozen times at other locations and it has never come on the salad. Needless to say, it was a disappointing experience today.

    Always a great experience here. It's a wonderful atmosphere. We love that they leave the coffee pitcher and water pitcher at the table for us to do refills ourselves. The food is always fantastic, it's fresh and high quality. I had the watermelon juice which is seasonal and it was amazing, fresh pressed in house. I also had the carrot cake pancake which was fantastic. The portions are large and everything is so fresh and delicious.

    Egg white omelette with fresh fruit and toast-strawberry jam was terrific!

    Location Just off Third street North Jax Beach Parking Large open lot Atmosphere Clean, friendly, upscale breakfast/lunch spot Service Outstanding Menu Seasonal offerings. I want to try the bacon jalapeño corn bread. So many choices of coffees, specials, entrees. Summary Clean, friendly/immediate service, awesome menu!! This is our Jax Beach go to breakfast spot.

    Tomato soup! Delicious !!

    The food was excellent, and the ambiance made the whole experience even better. It was the perfect spot for a delicious, healthy brunch after church everything felt fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Truly a relaxing and enjoyable meal from start to finish.

    This place is just... ok. If you're looking for cheap-ish, semi-healthy looking brunch with good ambiance, I would definitely recommend coming here. The service is good and you can pay on your phone so you don't have to wait for the waitress to come by to get your card.

    Half turkey and soup combo.

    Fast casual dining with affordable prices. Everything was great about our experience. Billy was attentive, food came out quickly and was really good. The place is very clean as well. If I lived in Florida I can definitely see this place as a staple.

    Always great service and food at First Watch and Jacksonville's was no exception! I had the avocado toast with eggs over medium which is very satisfying.

    Ham and Gruyere Omelet Delicious! Everything here is great.

    Great food, great service. Came here at 8am on a Sunday and they had PLENTY of seating available. Only downfall of this location is that there's no alcohol. They had this Hacienda Hash during the month of August and it was delicious. Wishing they would keep that on the menu. Those flavors were fire. I got an omelette. It was omlettey. Haha. The bread that was with it was great and I love their little side salads you can opt for with the entrees. All First Watches are great. Just wishing I could have had a mimosa here!

    We made an impromptu stop at First Watch. After checking the app and putting our name in we had about a 15 minute wait, which for a weekend wasn't bad. After waiting we received a text message that said our table was ready. When we went to the host stand we were being taken to an inside table, so we requested outside and the hostess said it would be another 15 minutes. No harm, since we would have waited. After about 15 minutes we were brought to our table. Unfortunately they were all out of kids menus and crayons. Luckily I had 8001 items in my purse to keep my little one busy and a phone doesn't hurt either lol. I checked out the menu, then looked over the specials insert. After looking over the specials I opted for the short rib omelette with Parmesan cream sauce. Our server came to our table, was masked. His name was Airius and was just lovely. He was attentive, interacted with the kids, and kept checking to see if we needed anything. I also ordered a cold brew and ordered a kids chocolate chip pancake and sausage for my kiddo. My mom and sister ordered the same thing I did. I have to say less than 10 minutes later our meal came out. This is the first time in a while I've been to First Watch that we've had this quick of a turnaround. My cold brew was robust and icy cold. My omelette was perfectly cooked, the short ribs were tender and the cream sauce was flavorful. My kiddo ate his entire meal, and even a piece of niece's bacon. Pros: -new menu items -cheerful and attentive server -short turnaround time on food orders -now serving mimosas, and some vodka cocktails Con: -prices seemed to have increased Tips: try the new special, it was delish

    Choirizo omelet and pumpkin pancakes!
    Stephen S.

    Food was okay, not sure if it was worth the price vs a regular diner. Staff was very pleasant / friendly, and the restaurant was extremely clean.

    The Carnitas Burrito 'bowl' style without picked onion. Delicious!

    Sooooo cutie patootie…read more I'll be adding this to my rotation before heading to Jax beach. A quick scone, coffee, and bagel on the beach is elite. The environment is causal and laid back beach theme. I love the little chairs outside the restaurant. It's a mom and pop shop with everything home made. A wonderful local gem.

Last week of April 2026, my wife Judy and I were in Jacksonville/Atlantic Beach for a conference. While I was in session, she returned to our rental condo and got locked out due to a malfunctioning electronic door lock. She couldn't reach me (ringer off), so she walked down the street to Breezy. Owner Nancy Breezy immediately welcomed her with open arms. She lent Judy her personal phone so she could contact the condo owners to get the door fixed. Once that was handled, Nancy introduced Judy to the regulars, making her feel completely at home. Judy ordered a delicious latte and some gluten-free baked goods -- both were outstanding. On a deeper note, Judy has been through an incredibly tough couple of years with painful losses that had shaken her faith in human kindness. Nancy single-handedly restored that faith. Breezy feels like a quaint, neighborly oasis of love, fueled by Nancy's genuine goodness. Everything served here seems infused with what we now call "Vitamin L" -- pure love and warmth. Nancy didn't just help with a locked door -- she rescued my wife's spirit that day. If you're in Jacksonville Beach, make time for Breezy. You'll leave with great coffee, amazing treats, and an even bigger smile. Thank you, Nancy -- you are a gem!

The first thing we saw was a line out the door, which felt like a good sign--and there was still a line when we left. My girlfriend and I had never tried fish and chips, so we ordered the fried haddock basket with fries and hush puppies. The haddock had a light breading and was incredibly flaky--it practically melted in my mouth. We also tried the blackened shrimp basket, and the shrimp was perfectly seasoned without being overcooked. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to you.

The restaurant is situated so magnificently right on the water that it almost feels as though you are floating directly on the river. Upon arriving, one is greeted by a rather striking shark specimen suspended right at the entrance which gave us quite a playful laugh at first glance Stepping inside, the interior is wonderfully clean, vibrant, and well-appointed, featuring lovely artwork and charming private dining nooks. Though it was briskly busy for Sunday service, the ambiance remained thoroughly pleasant and impeccably maintained. We were seated toward the back of the establishment, offering an utterly magnificent, unobstructed view of the river. To begin, I selected a crisp Corona Extra with a fresh slice of lemon, while my assistant opted for a fine beer. For our luncheon, we ordered a platter of raw oysters, which were extraordinarily fresh, perfectly chilled, and thoroughly divine for a late-afternoon meal. To top off a splendid day, we indulged in a warm cinnamon roll for dessert a delightfully decadent sweet finish. Watching the breathtaking sunset cast its glow over the water made for a truly magical afternoon. Impeccable views, fresh cuisine, and a wonderful atmosphere I shall most certainly be returning!
