We didn't know they closed in 10 minutes when we arrived but the host/waitress was so sweet and didn't make us feel rushed at all. She gave us recommendations, food was great, service was great, everything was great!!

Fun new breakfast place in Layton. Only open for breakfast, brunch and lunch, closes at 2:30pm. Where the old Denny's was by Layton Hills Mall. Big menu with a lot of interesting options. We are going to have to come back to dive deeper into the menu. We tried the Million Dollar Bacon, around $6.50. Four strips of bacon with a sweet drizzle and herbs, nicely cooked really good flavor, not as thick as other million dollar bacon we've had, but still very good. 4/5 Chicachanga, breakfast burrito, really good flavor, with just a little kick. Would totally order again. 5/5 My wife ordered the biscuit and gravy, thought they were really good. 4/5 Both came with their potatoes I upgraded mine to the million dollar potatoes which adds bacon, herbs and a sauce. It was good but probably go with just the regular next time. 4/5 Food came out hot and fast, service was good. You pay using a QR code on your phone. Worked really well. You can add suggested tip or customized, choose credit card or Apple Pay.

Really enjoy this spot. A tad expensive and bougie, but delicious with a nice vibe and good service.

Grabbed brunch for my sister's birthday recently. I've been excited to try First Watch. Our experience was less than great. We were able to get a table quickly, especially for a weekend. This made me feel like we had high hopes for a great dining experience. The menu was large! So many delicious sounding items it was hard to pick a meal. It took 15 minutes just to be acknowledged by the waitress. Our waitress did say that they were short staffed. It took over 30 minutes for us to place our order, which honestly could have been done after waiting for the first 15 minutes before being greeted. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. I was debating between that & the Banana bread summer menu French toast. I heard the table behind us order that & then they received a dish with no bananas because the restaurant ran out of bananas. So I'm glad I didn't order this dish! I ordered the honey crunch iced coffee. Calories are outrageous for this but once I received it, I realized why. SO MUCH CARAMEL! Which is great! It's what you pay for! But the thing you don't get is the actual coffee in my iced coffee. Literally tasted more like a milkshake than an iced coffee. Thankfully my boyfriend ordered coffee. I ended up drinking some of this down & refilling it with the coffee from the table. For my main dish, I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes & they were really good. Portion was large. Two of my friends ordered the scrambled hashes. They said they were okay. My boyfriend ordered the traditional breakfast with added sausage & an added pancake on the side. When our bill came, we were blown away at how much a side pancake cost! $9!!!! This is insane for 1 pancake! The traditional breakfast was $14 & the side pancake alone was almost worth the whole traditional plate! I cannot believe this place is charging so much for one pancake! It wasn't even a fancy pancake, it was a regular nothing special pancake. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

After seven visits, I feel like I've given First Watch a fair shot, and there's a lot to like. The food is a step above your typical breakfast spot, the atmosphere is bright and inviting, and the staff is consistently friendly. It wants to be a great go-to brunch place. But what's holding it back is a pattern of "good enough" execution, some gaps in table awareness, and either front to back with house, communication, or staff education. A few examples: - I've ordered eggs "well done with fully set whites," five times Three times the whites came out runny. - One visit, a large amount of water was spilled on our table when drinks were delivered. It sat there soaking menus and making it awkward to even rest your arms until I finally grabbed paper towels from the restroom and handled it myself. - Another time, a drink was served with liquid running down the side of the glass and then spilled a little more when placed on the table, leaving the table sticky. Same outcome, same self-service cleanup. None of these are huge issues individually, but together, they start to feel like a training and attentiveness gap. On the menu side, some of the bowls (especially quinoa or potato-based ones) feel a little unbalanced--heavy on the base, light on the toppings--so you end up wishing for more substance beyond the filler. Even small details, like the overly aggressive spray nozzles in the restroom sinks, make basic things like washing your hands more frustrating than they should be. Bottom line: First Watch has all the ingredients to be excellent, but right now it's settling for "pretty good." Tighten up execution, table care, and change base to mix-in ratios, and this could easily move into top-tier brunch territory.

A new place to have breakfast or lunch. Went in with an open mind and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was quick to notice you and set you up with a table. They even provided a menu to look over while we waited the few minutes for a table. The place itself is bright and clean. Well, it has to be it just opened a couple of weeks ago. Still, the food was pretty good. Gonna have to return to try other stuff.

We had brunch here yesterday and it was delicious! The restaurant is bright and spacious, can't believe it used to be a Dennys! Our server was amazing and did such a great job. We had some million dollar bacon to share, it was drizzled with maple syrup and was a little spicy too. I had the Floridian French Toast, which is challah bread with a ton of bananas and berries all over it. It was served with a berry jam or coulis, and also warm maple syrup. It was so much food and so good! My husband had the Chickichanga, which is like a breakfast burrito with chicken, chorizo, green chiles, cheese, onion and avocado in a tortilla. It's covered in a spicy hollandaise sauce and drizzled with sour cream. He loved it! I also had a Purple Haze juice, it is basically a lemonade with butterfly pea flower tea and lavender syrup. It is SO yummy!!

The service was OK to great. The rest of the experience not so much. They greeted us with his friendly face. We were met with a server rather quickly. However, some things went wrong, with the food. I asked for my sour cream to be placed on the side, which I never received any sour cream.. I was also never asked what kind of toast I wanted ex wheat, whites. Sourdough. The restaurant itself was cold. It's 33*degrees Outside F I had no way to measure the temperature inside, but a lot of customers were wearing jackets and coats through the entire meal. I asked my wife how her food was and she says pretty mediocre. I felt the same way.. her food was served cold. My omelet was served cold. Neither one of us asked for cold dishes. She orderd egg Benedict. With potatoes I had an omelette. I also love Green Tabasco on my breakfast food, this was unavailable in this restaurant. The question you always wanna ask would you go back there?? Definitely not!!! There are too many other very well done eating establishments that do an amazing brunch !

The food was really good. I think we must have gotten a newer server as she didn't check on us very often, but it was good!

We visited First Watch and everything was honestly AMAZING! I ordered the Chickichanga, the Traditional Breakfast, the Biscuits & Gravy, and the Honey Caramel Crunch iced coffee -- and every single thing was delicious. The Chickichanga was packed with flavor, the breakfast plate was perfectly done, and the biscuits & gravy were comforting and savory without being too heavy. And that iced coffee... SO good! The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the whole ambience of the place is really cute and cozy. It feels welcoming the moment you walk in. Definitely recommending this spot to anyone looking for a great breakfast or brunch! Would 100% come back.

Went to First Watch in Layton for breakfast today. It was very busy but the wait was less than 15 minutes. Parking can be a little challenging but we got a spot pretty quickly. We ordered a blueberry cornbread with lemon butter off the seasonal menu, and it was very good. I'm impressed at how well the combination went together. With that said, the cornbread could have been a little hotter. The main entrees were a steak hash also off the seasonal menu and an original breakfast. I have to say the steak cash was really good. Had a chimichurri on it and another sauce that went very well with a decent amount of meat and more than enough potatoes and other ingredients. The original breakfast was scrambled eggs with some cheese on it, potatoes and bacon. Again everything was very good. They have a line of fresh juices available none of which we tried but they do serve Coke products. All in all, while I'm not really big on chain restaurants, I would definitely go back here multiple times to try different things off the menu.
