The food is great but arriving at 6:45 for breakfast to blaring rock music turned us away. The hostess said she couldn't do anything about the music. If we're going to spend $30.00 on a breakfast, we want a relaxing atmosphere. We went down the street to Brunch Cafe where the food is also good, the music was quieter & the hostess offered to turn it down even further ( not necessary). Customer service means a lot! read more

Arrived this morning early with my wife to enjoy a peaceful breakfast. However, I was greeted with annoying speaker volume and heavy rock music. Asked the hostess if there was a spot in the restaurant that had less speaker volume. Her response was she had no control of the music. We left and went to Brunch Cafe next door where we were given a warm welcome and a quiet seating both. read more

We've been to First Watch for breakfast twice and both times we had a lovely experience. The food is quite good as is the service, and the dishes are unique - they don't only serve the run-of-the-mill eggs, potatoes, toast, and coffee. First Watch is becoming our "go-to" breakfast place and I'm comfortable giving it a high recommendation. read more

Love their unique creations in their menu. The fresh juice is delicious also. My new favorite place!

We've been here twice before. Last week was our second time. We thought it was a bit odd how conservative they are with their ketchup and jelly portion. It was literally a teaspoon in a small container. We let it slide and figured it might be a one time thing where it must've been pre-filled unevenly compared to other ketchup containers. We had to ask for more ketchup and jelly which I thought was weird since that's one of the most liberal condiment at any other breakfast spot. Usually there are bottles on the table anywhere else. Anyway, we came back again today, and once again, very cheap on the ketchup and no jam. My container had about 2 teaspoons full but my husbands literally had a teaspoon full of ketchup. It was absolutely pitiful. We asked our waiter for my ketchup and jelly. While we waited, my husband was using his portion of ketchup very carefully and conservatively so that he didn't run out until they brought out some more. Well, we never got our ketchup and jelly before the check came. It's just annoying how this isn't an accident and it's more of the restaurants normal portion sized ketchup. I know it feels like we're in a recession now but for those prices, at least put the bottle of ketchup on the table or at least fill those containers with a reasonable amount of ketchup for guests to enjoy. We shouldn't have to portion out the portion given to us to make it last. I really wanted to love this place because everyone working there is so cheerful, kind and respectful but the lack of generosity with the portions have disappointed us the last couple times. read more

Very innovative breakfast menu! Most of the food we ordered was 5 star. I also liked that they have a "wait in line" app so that you can be seated quickly. For a busy Sat morning we were seated promptly at 10am, per the apps stated time. I deducted a star because I felt the tables were much too close during a pandemic. I will not be returning unless I can be guaranteed a booth away from the table seating. Service did seem rushed and wait was about 20 min for our food. Pricey at $42 for 2 people with only 1 coffee. We ordered the Million Dollar Bacon which was black pepper spicy and delicious. The Frittata Rustica was excellent and the best I have ever tasted. I did not care for the side of bland leafy lettuce. It needed a few tomatoes or topped with some cheese. It also came with a half buttered ciabatta slice of bread. I would have preferred toast and will request different sides next time. There was no jelly on the table or provided. Also, ordered were the delicious Pumpkin Pancakes Breakfast. It came with chicken sausage. Still prefer pork sausage. The eggs were cooked perfectly. I really liked First Watch and highly recommend for a special breakfast outing. read more

Meh. Just ok. Nothing to write home about. Food was fresh. Menu is odd and trendy. Service fair but if you're not in a rush you have plenty of time to sit and chat. Not worth waiting in line for. read more

Pricey but good food. Glad to have been there. Crossed it off my list. There are other new breakfast places to try next.

Great service and great food. A must try breakfast spot. The blueberry pancakes and morning meditation drink are my favorite. Raquel was great and Our order came out quick. Will definitely be going back! read more

I must say, first watch is not your typical breakfast and lunch diner. The ambiance was cozy rustic farmhouse with a touch of modern, clean and definitely inviting. The service provided by Maricela was exceptional! She answered every question, made sure we had exactly what we needed, and remembered that we wanted to place an order before we left. Now for breakfast. I ordered the farmhouse skillet. I can still taste the veggies, potatoes, bacon and over easy eggs with the perfect serving of goat cheese that blended well with each and every bite. I will definitely be back to try something different from the menu! You won't be disappointed! read more

MARICELA was the bomb.com service was fast we were seated fast, and food was great! The restaurant was also super cute, loved the esthetic and atmosphere we'll be back :) read more

Super yummy food and beverages. Ordered the "Red Medicine" which was like a bit of Christmas in a glass. Our server Haley was super friendly and helpful without being overly solicitoua. read more

Breakfast: Wow! Welcome to one of the new wave of restaurants that are most definitely overtaking the old school haunts of our childhood through the 90's; Denny's, IHOP, Friday's, Chili's, etc.  Not just because it's new and clean, but it's the concept of "fresh, new concoctions/options with a great presentation", but without adding a huge price tag. Everyone's plates around me looked delicious- not just eggs & toast- some new concoction ideas that make you go... "Hhmm... I'll try that!" The place was packed with many waiting outside on this Sunday morning. We chose to sit at the counter where there was open seating. Friendly staff - that was nice for a change, and plenty of them - all hustling too! Overall, it was a great experience and will return to check out a lunch! read more

Came here with a friend who had been before. We requested a booth and got one although it was near the kitchen. This place is all hard surfaces so noisy and in addition we had a family with small children across from us who screamed. Not pleasant but they eventually left. We were there about 10;45 on a Wednesday. I would not recommend going at a busy time unless you like it super noisy. The food was good but I think overpriced. My friend had a salad and I had eggs that came with a waffle and 2 strips of bacon. Again, good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Our server was friendly and helpful. One nice thing they do is breakdown each person's tab on the same bill, including tax, so you know exactly what your portion is. My friend got a muffin to go (she said they're good). Person at the register was inattentive and not hospitable. I doubt I'd go back. We have too many options in the area that are not chains. read more

Our experience at the 5 month old store in Kildeer, IL was fabulous! Great food, drink and service! They will do there! Keep going!

If you are looking for a wonderful fresh breakfast this is the place. Excellent food and service. We will be going back again for sure. SO nice to see so many families enjoying it. read more

We've loved First Watch from previous experiences in other states so when one opened up not far from us we had to go. It was everything we remembered. Menu was great with a range of options including delicious healthier options. We will definitely be back. read more

First, the setting of this restaurant is amazing! A much needed breakfast place in this town that is both inviting as well as amazing food. Everything is so fresh and the setting makes you feel you are somewhere else. The folding windows make you feel as if you are on vacation. Great food and great service!! read more

Check in and wait is absolutely chaotic. The check in people give a completely low ball wait time and you watch everyone who came in behind you get sat. Vague answers on when it is your turn. Our quoted wait time was 30 minutes, At 45 minutes she said 5-10 minutes. At 60 minute wait time she said maybe 15-20 minutes longer. No idea on the food because we left got the text five minutes after we left that we are next in line to get seated. They have a "get in line" app which they have no idea how to organize read more

Had lunch with friends yesterday at First Watch. Food was delicious, service was excellent, portions were huge! Great experience. We'll be back. read more

The moment I stepped foot in the restaurant there was a very welcoming atmosphere created by the staff. My server along with Koya helped make this a memorable experience on their opening day! Food tasted immaculate and service was incredible they were on top of everything from the moment I walked in. Everyone was so helpful and kind, I'm beyond thankful for my enjoyable brunch read more

Our first time dining here and enjoyed the atmosphere and food. We received excellent service and great tasting food. Server, Liz, was attentive and quick and we were very happy to have enjoyed time here. Very pleasant staff and team workers. Highly recommend it to others looking for somewhere to eat. read more

The restaurant is ideal for a great breakfast and lunch. I went here with my friends, and the first thing that I noticed was definitely the lovely interior of the place. The restaurant is so spacious, it is clean and, most importantly of all, the atmosphere is wonderful and it really feels nice being inside the restaurant. The restaurant was a bit busy, but we were immediately attended to by their polite and accommodating staff. There are a lot of good options on their menu. Everything, literally every single dish, appears to be interesting. We took our time deciding what to eat because their menu has so many options that it is hard to choose. Prices are somehow reasonable too. My order was the breakfast burrito, which has a huge serving that really looks delicious. The overall flavor of it was just delicious, and I definitely loved it. The drinks are as good as the food too. All of us at our table really did enjoy every bite of food we got. We had such a great time at this restaurant, and I am certain that it will not be the last. I will also definitely recommend this great restaurant for breakfast and lunch to my family and friends. read more
