Their kitchen need some work,over all breakfast brunch took over an hour and half just to get hash bowl and eggs. read more

Parking This location is in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking. Restaurant The health score is 100. The main reason for this review is the service. We came in on a Saturday with a party of 17. Tierra greeted my party and I with a smile. The party was from age 4 to 70. My 4 year old granddaughter was upset because she could not take her iPad inside the restaurant. Tierra addressed her and gave her some stickers. Totally awesome. She swayed my entire party on the heated patio with a smile. She then turned us over to David. David was totally awesome. He patiently took everyone's order and did not rush anyone. He was very kid friendly. Not sure if the manager reads these but Tierra and David are a wonderful addition to your restaurant and truly enhanced our experience. read more

The worst food I ever ate in my life. I ordered the trio platter, pancake just breaks apart. Ask for eggs with cheese on it. Cheese is not melted talking about. It's a big piece of cheese. What happened to a pan and some ice to melt the cheese and get a refill on a drink how to pay extra nobody rarely checked on me management very rude read more

Shiloh my server was EXCELLENT! I ordered the trifecta which included a Belgian waffle (theirs is the BEST) now the scrambled eggs with cheese were over cooked as was the pork sausage links. So the food gets 3 stars, service 5 stars, so I'll give over all 4 stars! The ambiance was very nice and pretty quiet for it to be 9:00 am. I would definitely go back! read more

The last two times i have gotten a side of biscuits and gravy, the gravy was very watery. Not appetizing.

The food looked great, I ordered the smoked salmon eggs Benedict. After 2 bites I was like wait this should be hot. I've NEVER had a cold eggs Benedict. The service was slow waited 10 min before someone came to my table to order drinks or food. I asked another waiter to ask mines to come over she never did, also asked the hostess and still never came. I sat for additional 10 minutes and just left. Such a beautiful place and nice atmosphere to not have good service. Maybe I'll try again at different location.... Thanks for bad lunch break read more

First Watch is always a brunch favorite! We had a group of 6 of us and we were seated almost immediately. The service was wonderful and efficient. The Market Skillet Hash is a personal favorite and the new seasonal items never disappoint either! read more

Recommend? Yes and no. The food is excellent, service amazing, but the music is crazy high. You folks need to pay attention to your demographic in the morning. Every person here is over 50, and business people are here as well, everyone has to yell at each other....plus the music selected is for Gen Z? Again, no clue on the demographic. Gen Z isn't even awake yet....it is 8:00 really silly move on management. We won't be back. read more

If you like COLD BREAKFAST, and you also like to be LIED to your face by the manager that is OK to serve 1 plate at a time and then wait for the second plate and then wait for the 3rd. Kerry the manager will tell you that is OK, to serve the first ate and 10 minutes later the 2nd plate. So if you like COLD food this is your place or manager. Now if you like a hit breakfast. Do not come here. read more

Show me in a couple of friends came out and tried to go to a restaurant that wasn't open so we ended up passing first watch. I was pleased. You could sit inside and outside, it on a day that's not too hot, this really works in your favor. Sat outside, have some really good breeze and it was pretty clutch that day. Way staff was nice and friendly, I have zero complaints about that. Our waitress took care of us very much so. Howard at the cornbread, tres leches strawberry French toast, and a Pomegranate sunrise. All of it was good! Every bit of it. The cornbread came out super warm with the butter already melting on it, it was amazing. The French toast let me feel like I was going to get diabetes right away but I persisted and finished it lol! I have no complaints about this spot. You have to wait for a certain time to get alcohol, which I didn't know, but when we did get alcohol, she hooked us up. This is definitely a good and chill spot. You may have to time it correctly, because if you go at a certain time, you got to be standing outside waiting. I went on a Sunday, and you can anticipate that that was the after church crew that took over so that was expected. But overall, I would still try to go! read more

Let me start off that I never write reviews. I have gone to this restaurant a decent amount of times, mostly on Sundays so a wait is expected. Today and in the past I have been skipped over a wait when only having two in my party. I have to go to the hostess to request where I am in line, knowing I have been skipped. Today I was told up to 15 mins, 30 mins later with no names being called out loud, no paging system used, I witnessed multiple parties entered that showed up past me and my daughter. We walked out as I was extremely frustrated with their seating system. Unsure if I'll go back. I do like their food. read more

I joined a friend here recently. I haven't actually dined in to a First Watch in years. It was so nice! The hostess was sweet. The menu was much like I remember it. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. My favorite entree is the avocado toast! I swear they sprinkle a lil extra love on top. Overall, great experience and can't wait to visit again! #ashsaidit read more

***FOOD: Food is consistently good. They have rotating monthly specials . We order the same things though. Avocado toast with eggs - excellent especially when they add a little side salad. Wedding Soup Is absolutely divine can never get enough of their wedding soup. Chocolate chip pancake is a kid favorite. Chorizo skillet with potatoes and the corned beef hash skillet is chefs kiss delish. Quality fresh ingredients. ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $ $ $ expensive for breakfast. Ended up paying $80 with tip for breakfast. Needless to say we don't go out for breakfast as often as before. ***DÉCOR: rustic farm primitive chic look, booths high tops and regular tables In the strip mall With LA Fitness, OK dog Toast, Hibachi Express, Poke City, chipotle ***SERVICE: experienced servers, it's a chain of restaurants from Florida ***RECOMMEND: Would Recommend and would definitely go back just not as often because it's expensive for breakfast. read more

First Watch is a popular breakfast/brunch spot in the heart of Johns Creek. The menu is a full two pages offering omelettes, pancakes, waffles, grits, and healthier options like Greek yogurt parfaits and quinoa power bowls. My friend and I came for Sunday brunch and there was a bit of a wait of 20 to 30 minutes and then we were promptly seated thereafter. Our server was sweet and attentive considering the busy crowd. We started with the morning meditation drink, and the lavender drink and both were really tasty. For brunch, I had The Works omelette with a side of fresh fruit and toast, and it was really a delicious, well-balanced meal. All of the ingredients were very fresh and the dish is well-prepared. My friend had the Italian omelette and loved the mix of flavors and spices. It would have been a better experience without the wait but it is a very popular restaurant. read more

Plenty of parking by the restaurant. Staff wore masks but no social distancing inside. Only indoor seating available. Went for lunch on a weekday and was seated right away. Service was a bit slow. Cinnamon toast cereal milk: very milky, hint of coffee flavor, almost no alcohol taste at all. I also did the pick 2. Chicken avocado chop: very refreshing tasting. Wish there was a little more chicken. Soup of the day, which was vegetable soup: just a standard vegetable soup, nicely seasoned, I did appreciate that it was still slightly warm when it was brought out. Overall a nice spot for breakfast and/or brunch. You can go shopping afterwards in the same plaza too! read more

Really love this place, especially before 9am on the weekends. Most of these types of restaurants can be packed on the weekends, but we always seem to get lucky here and step right in. It wasn't quite packed yet, but the people were rolling in as we were eating. The service is exceptional, and we loved our waiter Anthony, who we have had before. He gives Chik Fil A level of service which to me is the standard in fast food and up. I appreciate that when a lot of restaurants are struggling to find good help. I tend to get the Trifecta. You can't go wrong, and it's plenty of food. They let you jazz up the pancake that is included, and I added blueberries to the banana nut crunch pancake. Also got the cheesy grits. To die for! With orange juice (really fresh!) and coffee, I was a happy camper!! read more

It wasn't necessarily this location I have been to several of these restaurants and I am never impressed. The food to me is just okay. Definitely needs more seasoning. My bacon was burnt at this location and the food came out lukewarm. I wouldn't recommend. read more

We joined the list online and checked in upon arrival. It was a decent amount of people already seated and waiting for a table. We were seated after about 10-minutes. Karla was our server and did a great job. She had several tables seated around the same time and she handled them all well. The crew seemed to work well together as a team. My fiancé and I observed them pitching in as/where needed (e.g. bussing tables, checking on guests, and bringing out food) The overall restaurant cleanliness was good for the mkay part. (We observed the busboy use the same towel to clean the tables and seats and there was a bit of trash on the floors near the tables where we were seated. It was never cleaned out entire visit) My reason for the four star rating is due to my potatoes not coming out as crispy and they took them back to the kitchen. (Per health code, that's never acceptable) Because of Karla, we will be back. read more

Love the avocado toast, but somehow they can't handle poached eggs without the runny whites, so I have to get them over medium instead. They did it perfect the first couple times years and years ago, but just haven't been able to cut it since. I still love coming tho, but today ordered their new parm prosciutto toast w scrambled eggs. Note to management: please (I beg you) use real fresh eggs for scrambled eggs. ‍ I never would've thought First Watch would use powdered eggs. Really screws up that healthy option for breakfast vibe. read more

I want to give this place zero stars. My family of 13 (one was a toddler needing a high chair) waited almost a whole hour. They said they were working on clearing the whole back row of tables for us. Next thing we know, they seated a different family of 4 that came after us in one of those tables and wanted my family to squeeze into the remaining tables that only fit 8-9 of us. We overheard someone in the back tell the workers not to even give us that whole row, despite us clearly needing the space. Even when they saw us try to squeeze in unsuccessfully with people in our family still standing, they didn't care. It was a blatant in-your-face insult! read more

I ordered this place on uber eats. We ordered a bunch of food. 3 bags worth. We only ended up getting one. this was not Uber eats fault because then I had to go up to the first watch to get the rest of our food and there was a woman looks like college age and I told them about and and the lady is the one who is handing the bags to the drivers because as I was there she was handing the bags to the drivers. The drivers aren't picking them up themselves. She hands the bag to me but drops it. Didn't even say sorry. Horrible service. read more

This is going to be a bit long.... First, the particular location we went to, is about 5 minutes from our house. We've been here at least half a dozen times since the scamdemic started. There have been excuses ranging from, most of the staff are sick, stayed home, didn't bother to show up, or had covid (otherwise known as the common cold - AMA Dictionary definition). The bathrooms look like they haven't been cleaned in some time. They don't replenish creamers or other normal table supplies between customers. The floor has debris all over. The overall condition of the public area has been, well, unacceptable for a restaurant, in my opinion. Now, on the positive side, the food is always hot and delicious....but because of the overall cleanliness, and constant excuses about staff, we most likely won't be back any time soon. read more

First time to First watch was pretty impressive. There was about a 45 minute wait on a Sunday morning, but they give you free coffee while you wait and the seating in the waiting area is okay. What is really good about this place is the food quality. Everything is super fresh looking and is well seasoned/prepared and you can tell they are trying pretty hard to deliver a premium breakfast experience, which they succeed at. Some of the highlights are the "Million dollar" bacon, which is thick-cut, smoked bacon slathered in brown sugar and maple syrup to create some of the tastiest meat candy you'll ever eat. The plate sized chocolate chip pancakes are a kid favorite and crowd pleaser. I enjoyed my wild mushroom frittata, with arugula and some herbed soft cheese of unknown origin. I wish there was one of these in our neighborhood! read more

The food is very tasty and great. ℹ favorite foodie spot. Also, there's never a wait which is great compared to the other locations.

We waited almost an hour for food. When the food finally came out we were served raw eggs and raw potatoes. I asked the waitress to please bring me some new eggs since they were raw, and she explained that they were "over easy." I said "ma'am this is not over easy, this is raw," only for her to begrudgingly bring me new eggs. I had to ask her twice to bring me new eggs. By the time the eggs arrived we had been at the restaurant for an hour and a half. This is easily the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. read more

Food was really good- we have a vacation home up here and the prices are higher than expected but really good, healthy options.

I LOVE this place. The food is absolutely wonderful: fresh ingredients, creatively inspired, and deliciously prepared. The ambience is also really nice. A classy, upscale restaurant with a homey feel. We come here quite regularly and I've never been disappointed. I always get breakfast because every dish is soo delicious, but others in my party have gotten lunch items and have raved about them as well. Some of the negative reviews mention the wait time...most days they get you right in.....you may wait a few minutes on the weekend, especially at brunch-time on a....but that's to be expected of an establishment this good!! I'm worried about the places with no wait! Do yourself a favor and give them a try!!! (At my own peril, because now they're going to get even busier ;) read more

FILTHY! I have always liked the menu at First Watch, lots of healthy alternatives and variety. So amidst the pandemic my wife and I decided to go back as it had been so long. I was shocked by how unsanitary everything is. The floor was filthy and our wet table was wet with smudged cereal on the top and the seats look like they captured all the debris off the table. The hostess was nice enough to wipe it all down again. But then came the silverware. Food still dried in the fork and knife and has to send that back. Lastly two water glasses arrived that looked used! Full of greasy fingerprints. That was it. If that's the acceptable standards of the seating area we were not going to chance it with the kitchen and how they prepare food. We are all dealing with COVID the best we can, at a minimum this place should have a solid cleaning health and safety procedure to do there part. Clean up your act! We won't be back. read more

Decent place! Didn't hi to the restaurant but rather hot Uber eats: blueberry pancakes with eggs, chicken patty and blueberry muffin. The pancake was huge and yummy! The chicken patty was good too but the eggs were okay. Nothing special. The muffin was also good. Food came fresh...I'm eager to visit the restaurant and give it a go there too! Will definitely order from here but maybe but the eggs. Go check it out!!! read more
