Excellent Service!! I treat people with kindness and care; so I expect the same when I am dining. Been to this location multiple times; professional and kind! Emily and General Manager was amazing on my last visit and it prompted me to write this! Highly recommend!! read more

Food is good. Eggs Benedict: The poached eggs were very good except for the ciabatta bread. It is too hard compared to the traditional English Muffins. Difficult to cut which ruins the aesthetics of the dish. Stick with the English Muffins. Juice is a bad choice of Kale vs Tomato Juice. Since when?. Tomato juice comes out of a Can or a bottle vs. Orange Juice either bottled or frozen! No Tomato juice or V8 alternatives. read more

I guess the adage is true, "the third time is the charm." Celebrated my wife's birthday and the wait time was in the door and seated. The server Alyssa was very charming. Her smile was authentic and bright as the atmosphere is. I was introduced to the Pineapple Express which was good and not to sweet. When you get here you must have their Chimichurri steak and eggs, yum! (No pics with review ) read more

First watch is our breakfast go to spot. We love coming here and wish sometimes we can have "breakfast for dinner". My kids love their large sized chocolate chip pancake with fruits on the side. The place is inviting and staff is always great. They are also quick to fix any error. I love how they change certain food/drinks on the menu for the season. read more

Never been served by an Anastasia before. You should all be so lucky. On a very busy day, we were very welcomed. As always the food was so delicious that it was soon gone. Even though we had to wait, there was plenty of chores we were able to knock off just around the corner. read more

Food has always been good, but service can be slower due to it being busy. Waitress took my food without asking and before I was finished. I was tending to my toddler daughter and when I looked,l back, my food was all gone... Was sad that I didn't get to eat my potatoes and toast. Just wished she would have asked me first. read more

Just had steal and egg chimmichurris and a immunity boosted juice and i could not be happier ! Absolutely amazing and reasonably priced i will be returning soon read more

Great breakfast spot if you are in Lakeland FL. Coffee is Amazing and they have a variety of other breakfast foods.

Awesome service food was on point and it was just an all around nice atmosphere period

Surprisingly good food and reasonable prices. I was not expecting that from a chain restaurant.

Second time having this and it is so delicious! My favorite by far!!! This is going to be a weekly thing for me. read more

Behind me one morning was a person with his cell phone at full,level watching videos and at one point laughed so loud I jumped and yet not one waitstaff member said anything to him. This was not the best experience I've had there. If it should happen again, I will leave. A very annoying breakfast, otherwise the meal was good and our waitress was fantastic. read more

First Watch is always a good choice for breakfast/brunch. We always come here in large groups and they are super accommodating to us. Service is fast and attentive. Staff is very friendly and willing to provide great service. Food here is very good and prices are competitive. I very often get the club sandwich and is very good. The avocado toast is also one of our favorite options from here... lots of avocado, creamy and luscious. Perfectly cooked eggs makes it even better. Kids love this place because of its waffles and pancakes. Great restaurant. read more

Today my daughter and I dined here. We both ordered the delicious Kale green drink, so good! I ordered the spinach Benedict eggs and she ordered an Omelet. She was not happy with her pico it didn't look fresh. Her potato's had too many overcooked potatoes or bacon she wasn't sure and had to pic throughout the serving. That she was disappointed with . The meals are too pricey to not be perfection. My daughter made the comment she loved to see people doing their job as she observed the bus boy cleaning the top to the hot sauce Chalulu they have on the tables. Our server was pleasant and I left her tip on the table Vs on my card. I hope she saw it when she cleared our plates. I love First watch it was not too busy or crowded . The noise level was nice. The decor is real cute and I love their chandeliers. That Farm Fresh vibe is adorable. read more

Nice interior. Great service. A little pricey but worth it for an upgraded twist on breakfast. Nice place to take someone out for a daytime meal with good ambiance and menu. Frittatas are really tasty with the greens and thick toast. read more

Won't ever go back. Service was sooo terrible. When we do a drive by we still talk about how horrible it was.

After a long 12 hours of grueling life saving work at the hospital, my wife wanted to grab breakfast. I should have known how our experience was going to go after waiting 10 mins for a drink order being 1 of 2 tables in the restaurant. The server looked disappointed that we didn't order coffee. I was brought out my 2 pancake order (one of which was wrong) on two separate plates. One with butter and one with powdered sugar. Plating was questionable, food was mid. Born and bread in the hospitality business, I am turned off at the service style and the lack of empathy for my hungry stomach. Servers leave pitchers of water at tables and I was told we can use the QR code on the check to pay and yet they a expect 20% tip. Upon leaving the host did not say goodbye or even acknowledge us. Can't say I will be back. read more

I always enjoy First Watch! This was my first time to this location. The hostess was so incredibly nice. Made checking in very easy and smooth. Only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. Once we were seated, our waiter greeted us. We placed our food order in. I got the Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast- gotta love fall! The pancakes were delicious. The only thing was about three minutes after we got our food, our waiter gave us the check. Not sure why you'd give someone their check so quickly- luckily we didn't want anything else. Aside from that, everyone enjoyed the food and it was delicious, as always! read more

Staff were pretty friendly and attentive. Didnt have to wait long for table or food. The everything omelette was really good and the salad was great with it. The french toast was cooked fine and presented fine but was bland and syrup actually didnt have much flavor too. The fruit compote was really good though and that was used instead. read more

Great food, a little busy. Prices are fair considering inflation. Large portions. I do have 1 complaint. While seated closest to kitchen and servers area, we could here a waitress trash on a customer because she didn't like how she ordered her potatoes. She even bragged to the other waitress about how she "gave the customer a look to make her feel stupid". Not cool. I understand venting, but come on, do that somewhere else like in your off time and not directly behind customers. I had to turn around to see who this was... It was not my waitress, though she was who she was complaining to. She was the waitress to the couple next to us, who she took 5 min after they sat to even greet them, we came in at same time and had our drinks and food orders in when that waitress, walked past them and said, "I'll be with you shortly". read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Lakeland. The ambience is wonderful and I ate with my goddaughter and she loved it. I had the seasonal carnitas hash and Killian had the trifecta plate with chocolate chip pancakes. Elisa was our waitress and she was super wonderful and responsive. The flavors were great and moderately priced. We are here while our vehicle was serviced at the Lakeland Toyota. read more

Yep... ate at First Watch -- again!! Service as usual was very good. They've just introduced their "winter" seasonal menu. Tried the DOUBLE CRUNCH TACOS. Maybe others, like them -- ME -- NOT SO MUCH!! They are SO DRY!! Couldn't even eat them and the pico they provided although adds flavor doesn't add any real moisture!! If they'd provide some REAL SALSA it would make all the difference!! But as the manager who came to our table said -- "corporate" has them served a "specific" way. My advice to anyone who'd like to try -- bring a travel size of salsa with you!! The tacos truly have the potential to be very good! Plenty of shredded carnitas, bacon... I think there was cheese (but never saw it) and there was lots of scrambled eggs. The fresh fruit side was great. No complaints with the restaurant in general just a very dry-disappointing meal. BRING PERSONAL SALSA IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO ORDER THE DOUBLE CRUNCH TACOS!! YOU'LL THANK ME LATER!! read more

Lunch here when visiting with friends was great. BLT with egg sandwich was done perfectly, on delicious whole grain bread. Spring greens with lemon dressing was a nice side. Hawaiian French Toast was a different choice and delicious as well. Service was quick and on point. Casual atmosphere with a cool vibe added to the experience. read more

I arrived at first watch about quarter to 9:00 this morning. It took another 25 minutes for them to ask me what I wanted to drink after seating me right away. There were 10 employees that I counted in the back kitchen. I was very hungry when I got there and by this time I was on the verge of hangry. It took another 20 minutes to get two carrot cake and pecan pancakes without powdered sugar. It was very disappointing I'm glad I had nowhere to be. Maybe a quarter of the seats were filled with customers when I walked in. There was even one customer who left after ordering because it took so long to get his meal. I know these are seasoned employees. Since I've been there many times at many first watches. Apparently there was some delay in the kitchen because the overall feel the place is everybody was waiting for their orders. Come on guys get your act together it was just disappointing. read more

Been to this place twice since I moved here this past summer. Both times I left before I even ordered. Today I was at least seated before I waited 10 mins for no one to even take a drink order. I hate leaving these things because I know there's a local business owner trying to make a living, but if I owned this place, I'd like to know that it's either understaffed or staffed with low effort employee. I won't be trying a third time. read more

Boyfriend learned he likes açaí bowl after all...me? Not much for freezing cold sieved sorbet for breakfast- I'm an Avocados girl. On that note: the avocado toast is wonderful and seems they have seasonal options currently a crabby toast. I loved the vegetarian skillet, skipped eggs, got extra avocado. Waitress was superb and very frendly to everyone there even the screaming kids...I would've throw them out lol read more

We normally love First Watch but this one was lacking. They may be understaffed but when we arrived most of the tables outside were empty but filthy and still covered with previous guests food, drinks and garbage. Inside was the same. We decided to eat outside. It was an hour before closing and service was slow, and staff was cleaning around us - spraying down surfaces and loudly moving tables and chairs around, restocking and sweeping near us while we ate. Food was decent but was not a pleasant experience. Would not return to this location. read more

I've only tried first watch once. My first visit was accompanied by my family of four and we all enjoyed it tbh. I didn't expect first watch to really be this good. So the atmosphere is pretty rustic but not too bad. The menu has a lot of options in my opinion but it's a nice variety if you're really decisive. I'm not so maybe that's why I was a little overwhelmed. I like that the restaurants portion size for all of their meals are just like Keke's Breakfast Cafe. They have also inherited the home ethics of iHop which also leave coffee thermoses on the table for free refills. The only thing I didn't really enjoy is the waitress. She didn't know the difference between maple syrup (which is $0.50 more) and the regular syrup which is included. She said they taste the same so I guess I saved $0.50 ‍ Other than that the bill was pretty decent so not complaining and will go back read more
