    Egg white sandwich
    Alexa A.

    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.

    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.

    First time here, and we had a great experience. Both dishes were delicious and looked so pretty. Service was also on point, will be back to try more dishes.

    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.

    Avocado Toast with eggs over medium.

    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!

    Choirizo omelet and pumpkin pancakes!

    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.

    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

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

There is a bar area that opens at 4:00 and they offer happy hour appetizers and drinks. If you are lucky, Rachel will wait on you as she is the bomb! There is a dining room area and then there is the wine barrel room. We love the wine barrel room as it encompassed all things related to the wine country. The servers are all great, but Brandon is the bomb in the dining room. The menu is robust and everything is made from scratch. Our family's favorites are cheese bread and lamb chops to start. The favored entrees are the filet meal, the ahi tuna meal, the smash burger and for me being vegetarian, I do the curry dish with no protein. Dessert is the donut bread pudding. It's a lively atmosphere but classy. Reservations are suggested for prime hours. You will love this place.

The atmosphere was really nice, not over the top extravagant but you'll want to dress to impress. The food for happy hour was excellent. We shared sliders, meatballs which were really good, the salmon sliders were tasty too and finally the dip was good as well. The happy hour has discount on their EOS wines which were ok. We'll definitely be back.

The eggs, creamy, light, the prefect consistency. The sausage fantastic and the pancakes...elite. Fluffy, light, flavorful, delicious. We all shared in the sentiment of how great the food was and were really amazed at the excellent price point as well.

Parking was a bit hard with so many people especially around beach area. The wait was around 20-30 mins and we were seated on the patio, the place was packed and super busy, so it's a bit loud to try to have conversation. The staff were great and the menu had a great vegan section too. It was a bit cold on the patio, so we started with some hot lattes which was decent. Also got pancakes & bacons, vegan mexicali wrap and size of haus fried (potatoes cubes). Portion size was huge, we could only finish half the food. Everything was delicious & if you get the vegan mexicali wrap, 100% would recommend trying with the hot sauce with it. Food and staff were great, but I am not sure if it was worth 20-30 mins wait and the hassle of parking. Would definitely go back but will not be a regular place for us!
