    Mwah! Chefs kiss! First time visiting and NOT the last time!!! Best breakfast I've had in a long time! The pumpkin spice pancake and lavender drink.. umm what a way to wake up my taste buds!!! My son had the breakfast tacos and of course inhaled th like any teenager does. Only complaint he had was that the maple syrup wasnt sold separately. We lived in New York and are maple syrup snobs sooo he wanted to have some from here as it met his standards... the server gave some Togo samples... thank you for that 1000/ 10.. love this place and will definately return

    Grabbed breakfast at First Watch on a Wednesday morning. It was not busy, but I love that they have a virtual waitlist you can join! We arrived and were seated quickly. Service was kind and fast. I got the frittata and it was good - nothing crazy, but a solid frittata. The salad that came with it was good too. It is close to my house, so I'd definitely go again.

    My friend and I had a late breakfast and decided on First Watch, it's one of our favorite places. When we arrived there were people sitting outside waiting g to be seated-first watch is always busy so download the App and get on the waitlist! We found 3 seats available at the Bar Top so we sat and were greeted promptly. I ordered my favorite-Purple Haze and my friend ordered the Morning Meditation. We had a hard time deciding on breakfast as everything sounded so good. They have a Seasonal Menu which looked yummy too but I ordered The B.E.C. the Server recommended to get the sauce on the side-she said it's a little spicy! I'm glad she told me because it sure was HOT(Spicy)it was really delicious though. First Watch has a bar top, patio and regular dining area.

    Never a bad experience at First Watch. They have an awesome menu that will appeal to even the fussiest eater. Service is fast and the food hot and fresh. I recommend trying some of the seasonal items. They are very creative.

    Always a great choice!! It's always packed and love the online check in. The food is always very flavorful and the syrup is warm!!!

    We had a great brunch here! We enjoyed two seasonal dishes, the lavender French toast and a hash meal. We also had a Pineapple Express drink that was very good. Service was fast and friendly and menu is full of great options as usual. I forgot to check in on their app, so we had to wait about 30 minutes, but it wasn't too bad of a wait. Definitely check in on the app if you have it and register your birthday so you can get a bogo deal like we had!

    We love being able to join the waitlist prior to arrival so we don't have to wait in a crowded sitting area. The restaurant was hustling and bustling but it was kept clean and the wait wasn't terrible at all. The menu options were amazing as always and our food and beverages were as superb as they've always been from our first experience at any first watch location. Looking forward to our next visit.

    Chili Chorizo omelet with breakfast potatoes.

    We had the best breakfast this morning before taking my little one to school. My works omelet was amazing. I love their toast, trust me even the toast is tip top. The staff including our server were so amazing. We didn't want for anything. The coffee was super hot and we had plenty of sugars and assorted creamers. Our water came out in the super cute glass bottle with very nice heavy glass water glasses. The restaurant is beautiful, very tasteful decor. Well lit but not so bright you'll get a headache (just incase you come in with a hangover). The seats are comfortable, the restaurant is very clean and the restrooms are exceptionally clean. Please check them out. Let me know if you enjoy it. We are sure to be back again and again. Great job 1st watch!!

    Overall first watch is a great place to eat. I gave it three stars due to my experience when I first arrived. When I checked in to the host stand and requested I'd like to sit outside, the guy told me that was fine and to sit anywhere out there. I initially sat at a table where the sun was shining directly on my back, so I moved to a table completely in the shade. In the mist of doing that a server from that section walks up to me and says "there is a completely different server in this section and you need to let your server know your moving tables." It caught me off guard when she approached me and said that. Considering no one came to the initial table were I was sitting at. It appeared that she was the only server in the outside section. I made her aware the host told me I could sit anywhere outside and that it seems to be a miscommunication between the employees. Long story short it was her section all together and she was getting off soon. I arrived at 1pm and they closed at 2:30pm. I really wanted to leave but the person I came with wanted to stay, so I took one for the team. When our food was being brought to our table it was delivered sporadically, which caused the food brought out first to get cold waiting for the rest of the order. We chose not to say anything because it was already a burden that we choose to eat outside. One of the Bar servers paid very close attention to detail and saw we were frustrated with how our experience was going and brought us a complementary breakfast drink. Very nice jester :) I ordered the seasonal items from the menu, the brisket hash bowl and watermelon breakfast drink. The smoked salmon Benedict without the eggs and sauce. The person that came with me ordered a morning meditation and the trifecta with a Belgian waffle , breakfast potatoes and a side of million dollar bacon. The food and drinks were 5 stars! I definitely recommend eating here and I'll definitely be back, just at another location.

    Love this place. When I travel I always find this chain. But it does not feel like a chain. Great food. Love the egg sandwich and the fresh just. Wait staff is very friendly. Nice room. Can get a little pound when it is crowded.

    Shishido Pepper Hash!!
    Sam N.

    Always a reliable, can't miss stop for breakfast but today was exceptional! Fabulous, friendly staff .. .. Large, comfortable space and their SHISHIDO PEPPER WATCH was terrific .. .. And, when I asked for an empty to-go cup for all the leftover coffee, my server brought out a full, large cup for me!! THANKS FIRST WATCH!!

    Traditional Breakfast; eggs over easy, 2 port sausage links, slice of toast and breakfast potatoes. Butter & Jelly on the side.  w/milk

A few months ago my sister and I hosted a baby shower for our other sister and after looking around an options we decided to go with McLains. It was a smaller group, and we were doing a brunch theme, and our sister LOVES sweets. That paired with our desire to support local, and our shared love of McLains, this was just the most obvious choice. We ended up ordering a cake and first of all I have to say their cake flavor choices are insane - I think we settled on a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling (YUM), but I don't think you can go wrong here. We also ordered one of their pre-set pastry bundles for pick up and honestly everything was wonderful. I think I placed the order about a week out and it was ready when I came to pick it up. What pushed this experience into five star category for me? Just the friendliness of the staff, the serving tools they send you home with, and how thoughtful everyone was. The food was also really just exactly what we needed and it was so good there were hardly any leftovers, I think the kids cleared us out by lunch! At any rate, if you're on the hunt for a great spot to support for your next brunch event consider McLains - they won't let you down!

The biscuit sandwich was oozing with cheese and sauce so I ended up cutting into it with a fork and knife. The pear compote had an apple pie filling vibe to it, which was almost too sweet for me even though it went well with the salty smoked ham. The nutty bitterness from the fontina added a little bit too much contrast for me. This would be a good choice for people who like sweet and salty things. Overall, each component was tasty, but this particular sandwich wasn't exactly my preferred taste! The oat milk latte was good! Nice and foamy with a good amount of bitterness from the espresso. I was curious about their huge pastry case and would love to try those in the future.
