I am a huge breakfast fan. This may be because most breakfast items come with bacon and/or sausage, but that is another thing all together. So being the fan of breakfast food I am, I get a little bored with the run-of-the-mill breakfast food. One can only have the same omelette so many times. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised to find different choices at First Watch. They were on a '20 minute' wait when we arrived, which I wasn't sure why, 1/3 of the tables were empty and waiting to be cleaned. They must not have a/enough busers to keep up. But the wait was realistically only 5 minutes. The service was good, they brought us a water pitcher thing to refill our own waters, which was nice (I was thirsty!). I was instantly attracted to the chickichanga. There was everything in this I wanted, something different, (chorizo) sausage, CHEESE, avocado, and a few other things thrown in there. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors, how easily my hanger pains melted away. I thought the portions were perfect, I was definitely full, but not so much I needed a nap. The boyfriend disagreed, but he eats way more than I normally do. We both felt it was a little pricey for breakfast food, but I enjoyed the meal and the service so I wasn't too bothered by it. read more

Wow!! I just tried this spot for the first time but no where near the last. This place is excellent and definitely one of our new favorite breakfast spots. The ambience was nice and gave you the feel of half farm half fancy restaurant. Everything they make is super fresh and they have a juice bar to top it all off. I had the Floridian french toast which was just as gorgeous as it was tasty. My boyfriend got the chickichanga and he fell in love with that chick too. You really should do yourself a favor and try this spot. read more

Pretty awful considering this is a brand new establishment and basic restaurant management etiquette is already being over looked. My mom (who has been a fan of other F.W. locations) and I made a stop here the day before Mother's Day. I'll also note that she has worked in the service industry from diners to fine hotel restaurants her whole life to present, so our complaints aren't out of reason or understanding. First problem: 1 person working the front on a Saturday. The dining room was not busy yet we stood at the front unacknowledged for quite a long period of time. Saying "I'll be with you in just a moment" goes a long way and lets the guest know you're aware they are there and will be seated soon so they're not left wondering what's going on. Second problem: I'll quickly get past the fact that 3-5 different people asked us about placing our order within 5 minutes and get to the 1st major problem: Part of our meal was burnt..I mean, CHARRED. We politely asked for a re-do and the waitress actually argued that it was due to other ingredients and how it was cooked (big LOL). Maybe she should have applied to be a cook and not a waitress. When the replacement came it was obvious that the food was from the same burnt batch. Why lie and pretend it was a fresh plate? Just apologize and say you don't have a fresh batch available. As a result, my mom had to send her ENTIRE plate back and didn't order anything else. As my mom works in the same shoes and knows how it should be handled and to see it not handled correctly, she was over it. Last and BIGGEST problem: Waitress delivered a check with BOTH meals still billed even though we clearly sent one back. HOW does that even happen? After we explained the disaster meal and horrible service to the trainer at the front check out we should have been comp'd the entire bill, as I've been to a finer restaurant with way higher prices who have comp'd an entire bill (not expecting it) for a way smaller accident. We were never asked if we wanted to speak with the manager, the waitress never asked the manager to come see us, and the manager never walked the dining room to check on guests (including us) while there. Had a totally different experience at a place like Village Inn where the servers don't challenge customer's requests and the manager atleast checks on the tables, service, and front. read more

YEESSSS!!! This First Watch is as good as the Tyrone store. It is laid out a little differently, and the high top walk-in table is a medium top here, but that's OK. The food was identical to what I had at Tyrone-the Acapulco Express omlette, with Chorizo, onion, avacado and monterey jack cheese and a dallop of sour cream-was delicious. The oven potatoes and side of turkey sausage were both excellent, as well. The service was friendly and effective. read more

I don't even leave reviews but I will be leaving one today. my wife and I walked in there's a clear table for two, several other empty tables the guy was really rude, and snappy, stated the kitchen is backed up we understand that but all we wanted to do was have somewhere to sit get a cup of coffee we've been going to this business for over a decade it's just really gone downhill really condescending short snappy guy at the front. we left! read more

Wow! What a delicious find! We had three different dishes, and they were all amazing. I had market hash and added avocado. It was creamy, meaty, and the perfect balance meat, egg, and veggies. The crab cake Benedict was delicious, and packed with crab. Finally, the works omelette is meaty and satisfying. The best brunch we have had in a while. Give it a try!!!! read more

Super delicious! Everyone was happy with their meals. We got the avocado toast, lemon ricotta pancake, and the biscuit and gravy skillet.

If you are on your way, hurry. If not, run don't walk and get here! This place is crazy good. I have eaten over 21000 breakfasts and this one is high on the top ten list. It is like the first time I tasted bacon. Hurry. Grand poobah Jack read more

This, like all First Watch restaurants I've been in, is a bright, airy, clean space. My husband, who never comments on decor, just said "I do like how they decorate these places." The menu is descriptive and interesting. You can order healthy, lean meals, or you can load on the carbs and fat. The food has been good and prepared as ordered. I think it's a bit expensive for a breakfast/lunch restaurant, ($7 for oatmeal, although it is oatmeal with lots of stuff in it,) but they say their products are fresh and organic, which is important to all of us, right? The food was served quickly. Eggs were perfect, the syrup was hot. Lots of little things done right. And the whole grain toast was crunchy and delicious. They also have a great website, which includes nutritional information. read more

I love this place. Healthy options and the kale tonic is delish! I also like how they text you when you're waiting to be seated. This way you can walk around and know when your table is ready. read more

First watch is a place I have always heard about, but had not tried till about a month ago AND IT I AMAZING. FROM THE MANAGERS ALL SERVERS TO THERE KALE TONIC, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT HERE! Iam a server so going out I pay attention to more detail then most and when I tell u the time I was in the door till I left I was pleased. Kale tonic is a must have. Millionaires bacon is delicious. Breakfast farm stand tacos; superb. They consist of a real corn tortilla with eggs,chicken,chorizo, pico de gallo, and avocado! They combination on your stomach is not to heavy and all ingredients are fresh and taste right on point. The real good thick fresh whole grain toast is killer! I am never let down when coming here. Not to mention its about my 12th time in a month. That should speak volumes. read more

Delicious food at a good price, gets you in and out in a decent amount of time. The staff always seems happy and fun! It was a great way to start our Father's Day celebration. And our fathers enjoyed the free coffee, thank you very much! read more

Cute breakfast / brunch place. Very spacious cafe, friendly staff. Loved their breakfast burrito and super food bowl.

Awesome food! Can definitely tell its farm fresh to table! The million dollar bacon is amazing. The soup and sandwich was perfect!

One of the best breakfasts we have ever had! The million dollar bacon was by far the best bacon ever. We had the French roast and lemon ricotta pancakes. Both were amazing! read more

This is my favorite place for breakfast I love everything about this place I go here at least 3 times a month! Everything on the menu is good! My favorite dish is eggs Benedict their coffee is delicious! Staff is attentive and kind! Farmhouse style atmosphere! Love it! read more

We were on our way home from vacation and saw many positive reviews on yelp for this breakfast restaurant. We stopped and it was the best breakfast. I ordered the million dollar bacon and yes it was worth a million dollars!! It was bacon with brown sugar and maple syrup and cayenne pepper. It is to die for. We also had the pumpkin pancake since it is the day before Halloween. It was a large pancake with the best flavor of pumpkin without being overwhelming. We also had a tri athlete egg white omelette. It had mushrooms and green chili hatch peppers and homemade pico de gallo. The food is top notch and fresh beyond words. I strongly suggest anyone to try this restaurant. They are only open till 2:30. Breakfast brunch or lunch it's all fabulous. read more

I have breakfasted here 3 times now, and every time I tried something different and the food was always excellent! The menu is a little pricey for breakfast but I have always enjoyed what I ordered very much. This is an upscale restaurant. The servers are friendly and courteous, the meal delivery is a little slow but worth the wait and comes out hot. read more

After hurricane irma hit, I was without without power. I was hot, tired, I needed to charge my phone. When I walked in, I felt so welcomed and was seated at a table with an outlet. The coffee was fantastic, the food was outstanding, and the staff said I could stay as long as I needed to charge and be in the ac. Thank you so much! Will defiantly be back! read more

It's already that time of year...Pumpkin pancakes are here! Along worth some apple chicken sausage and eggs, hot coffee and ice cold water. Ahhh.... read more

I'm so disappointed. My first ever visit to First Watch was this location and I received just the opposite of most reviews. Service I arrived during a "slow" time at 10:30am on a Thursday with half the tables empty. It still took 6 minutes for someone to greet me to tell me it would be a few more minutes and proceeded to check out 2 people who came to the register long after I was there. I then waited another 5 minutes to have my order taken. My beverage (water) came after my meal was served. Only once did the staff check on me and it was a drive by. She said, "is everything delicious?" But before I could respond she was done. I didn't even see her leave my check! She was fast but service and/or any personality was nonexistent. The cashier didn't even wait for me to sign the check before he left the register. I looked for a manager the entire time I was there. I wanted them to know about my experience but they were absent. Might be why service was so poor. Food Quality Food selection was good with a bunch of healthy alternatives. I had the traditional breakfast and eggs had minimal flavor but were cooked perfectly. Potatoes, on the other hand, had numerous raw chunks in it. They tasted as if they were cooked where fish was grilled. The chicken sausage was OK but nothing I would order again. The toast was fine but only one slice with the meal! Food Value A basic breakfast without a bevrage was $10. Way overpriced for the amount, flavor, and level of service. Summary There are so many other options for breakfast with healthy alternatives, a fair price, and great service. I can't understand why this place gets such high marks. I must have simply been an exception. But it was bad enough that I won't return. read more

The kale tonic was great, the elevated egg sandwich had great flavor however it was not a pick up and eat sandwich, more of a fork and knife type of thing. Pretty cool place very very busy expect to wait. read more

I absolutely love this place. My daughter and I are visiting family here and found First Watch on Yelp and were not disappointed. The menu is loaded w whole foods and clean eats. You're able to keep it lite or indulge.i started with the morning meditation from the juice menu which was cold crisp and delightful. Then I had the chikichamga that came highly recommended by other yelpers and it was delish. My daughter had the waffle w fresh berry compote and she ate it all and said she loved it. Their homemade multigrain bread is soft and fresh. If you're looking for clean and delicious well priced meal First Watch is the place to go. read more

Service was fine. We were told that To-Go Orders and Uber Eats were getting placed before us. Pretty crappy. Especially since I'm sitting in the dining area with other customers and not given and kind of priority. Try maybe dedicating some cooks to mobile orders while keeping the other cooks to the dine-in service. 50min wait. Ridiculous read more

The food is very good, and uses lots of vegetables and less fat to be more healthy than your typical lunch or breakfast cafe. Many meals come with a salad on the side instead of the fried potatoes you would normally see. My favorite menu items are the avocado toast with poached egg or the lemon ricotta pancakes. Recently, I tried the Matcha pancakes with berries. Wasn't sure what to expect, but they were delicious. Pancakes at this restaurant are huge. The menu is a mix of regular items you will always see and a shorter seasonal menu that changes frequently. This keeps it interesting. Juices are tasty and change seasonally. We visit as a couple or as a group. They have several tables to seat large groups. The restaurant can be very noisy, especially on weekends when it is pretty crowded. Plan on a wait on weekends. There is a parking lot, but on a weekend, you may have to circle once or twice until a space opens up. read more

Visiting my brother in Largo. Had the Morning Meditation to drink and the Banh Mi breakfast bowl. Everything thing was fantastic. Service was friendly and quick. Definitely will return. Just forgot to take a photo of the beautifully plated dish. read more

The food is very good, but restaurant poorly managed when busy(and staff doesn't seem to care either). The wait over the weekend is at minimum over an hour and the estimates are inaccurate. Service is also not very good when busy - you'll have to ask for basics (coffee, water etc) multiple times and it will take forever since they rarely check in with your table. Really tasty food though. Never had a bad meal here. read more

Love the location, but sometimes can be a hit or miss... great place to try a healthy alternative to breakfast..

My husband I love to come here for breakfast on the weekend. We've never been disappointed with any meal we've had. The iced coffee is delicious. My husband loves the kale tonic...don't be put off by the color :) read more

Well, i'm sorry to say I gave First Watch another try after being disappointed probably a year and a half ago. I had a gift card and I decided to use it for my second experience. After looking over the menu for 15 min which was way too busy and overwhelming, I decided on a biscuit with turkey sausage gravy, 2 eggs over easy and home fries. The whole meal was terrible. The only thing hot was my coffee which was served in my own table decanter and I appreciated that. My biscuit was hard and had approximately 2 tablespoons of gravy on it which didn't even cover the biscuit. The home fries were hard and very dry on the inside. None of the food was hot. My eggs seemed small, but were ok I guess if you like half warm eggs. I did enjoy my hot coffee and I felt it necessary to order a large orange juice to try and swallow down the horrible breakfast. The orange juice was great, cold and tasted fresh. Maybe their lunch items are better, if you have an extra half hour to read the menu, but that was my second time having breakfast there, so no thank you. I paid with my gift card. 20.13 for breakfast and left the balance of almost 5.00 for a tip. I won't go back... Again, No thank you. B. Ford read more

My co worker told me about the avocado toast here... boy was it better then she described! I called in my order ,walked in ,paid and was out the door to work! I love the bread ( Texas toast style)and the basted eggs... $11. I'll be back ... everyone was more then friendly also! read more

Can I get a YUM YUM!!! enjoyed everything about my meal. My husband thought it was over priced. I didn't. I thought it was worth every penny. Great service. Cool atmosphere. I ordered the eggs Benedict with spinach HUGE and yummy. read more

I have traveled and eaten all over this natuonI have never come across any where as collectively diverse as this amazing place.

Great food, awesome atmosphere. Will definitely go back again soon. Don't worry about the wait it's well worth it.

A great place for breakfast. Usually get the ham and cheese omelette. Sorry, ham and gruyere. It comes with salad greens which isn't my taste, but home-fried potatoes are an option. Various other items on the menu are not really my taste, but my wife likes them. It's a little pretentious, but the food is good so I'll survive. I was going to get the multi grain pancakes, but didn't immediately see an option for bacon. it's that kind of place. "Healthier" and more "Organic" I suppose. The coffee is just ok. I would expect choices of coffee and maybe espresso for the price level. We talked about bringing our own. Still the food is good so we go back. read more
