    Blueberry Lemon Cornbread
    Mike M.

    First watch, never fails to let us down, no matter the location. Always consistent service consistent food and we always leave happy and full! Some of the best coffee you can have at a restaurant. A huge variety of delicious treats for breakfast/lunch you won't be disappointed.

    Menu September 2025

    They emailed me a BOGO coupon so obviously we had to go! We were quickly seated and given menus, the new fall menu items looked really tasty. My partner ordered the Honey Chipotle Chicken Mash from the fall menu and I ordered the Chickichanga. The chipotle chicken mash was tasty, I didn't care for the lemon sauce on top of my dish. I love lemon unfortunately I felt like the sauce took over. My favorite breakfast, well no but it's solid and they have a large menu making it easy for everyone to find something they like. Service was good as well!

    Carne Asada breakfast tacos (seasonal)
    Katie B.

    Went on a Thursday morning and they had availability. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of seats inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of parking in their own parking lot. Staff was friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed the carne asada breakfast tacos from their seasonal menu.

    Trifecta with waffle.
    Joe B.

    As a rewards member getting a buy one get one free entree for your birthday is a bonus. Service is always pleasant and courteous. My wife and I both opted for the Trifecta with eggs over medium, pancake(waffle for me), and roasted potatoes rather than a choice of meat. This was the first time I had a waffle there. It was surprisingly light and fluffy. Perhaps a little more of the jam would have been better. Overall, it was a good experience.

    Please see attached. We had an awful experience with our steak and eggs orders for my son and I. Don't order.

    This is a great place for a simple delicious meal with family, friends or just by yourself. I recommend a Morning Meditation drink with your meal.

    Good and always consistent! You'll always get a slightly elevated breakfast experience here, and the food is always of quality, fresh, and very well presented. The staff here are very friendly, quick, and caring. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is very modern, and pretty averaged sized in scale to other brunch restaurants![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The Traditional Breakfast no meat
    Marlene M.

    Always my fave. Good service great food. Have not gone to any that has fallen short. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is on point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Early morning gather with a few friends or just a solo trip still the best

    First Watch is a well executed and enjoyable breakfast and lunch spot! Everyone at First Watch seems happy to be working there, which is always a good sign. They have a huge selection of items on the menu. The orders come out quickly and are prepared consistently. My favorite dishes are the omelettes. The omelettes are served with a small salad and toast. This option makes me happy to have a more healthy meal and fewer calories. The meals are very reasonably priced for a restaurant with table service. My goal is to try every omelette on the menu! There is plenty of free parking surrounding the restaurant. The entrance is very obviously located near the street with the host station just inside the entrance. They can get busy so I do recommend downloading there mobile app to get a place in line before you arrive. Be sure to sign up online so you can get discount offers. A few times during the year they offer discount gift cards as well.

    See, the thing with First Watch is that I know because I can see the containers in their kitchen, that most of their staples come out of a can or a box. I mean the juice is not freshly squeezed, the veggies might be prepackaged, and so on. But the deal is that I don't have the time nor the inclination to crack my own eggs and have to clean the kitchen and dishes afterward, so I get an even exchange here, I pay for time and convenience. The food is just an amenity. We appreciate the good service.

    Daughter chose French Toast which was generous portion and delicious
    Herman P.

    Took the family and my 3 kids to First watch for Sunday "Brunch." We use to live in St Louis and always loved going for the delicious food, great service and always busy which is a good sign. My kids had pancakes and French toast. My wife and I ate the healthy options; egg white omelette and skillet item. Large portions and was hot when served. We were under no rush and enjoyed our time since my daughter was visiting us from St Louis. We've also tried the First on Breckenridge Lane and that one is more busy due to its highly traffic area.

    Ask the Community - First Watch

    Have they opened an outdoor seating area at the Highlands location?

    I don't want to tell you something wrong but they had tables set up in the parking lot. I was there a couple of weeks ago and I paid absolutely no attention to whether or not it was still there.

    How long is your average visit? From arrival to departure?

    It really depends on when you arrive. If there's a long wait before you're seated and they're busy, you could be there 2 - 2.5 hours. If there's no wait, you could be in and out in an hour or less.

    Does this place have outside seating?

    No!

    Hands down the best deli sandwich shop in Louisville. The bread is so freaking fresh and tasty. The…read morepastrami was amazing and had a great smoke flavor. The meat was slightly on the fatty side for me but nonetheless still amazing. The coleslaw was out of this world. House made chips are fantastic. Chocolate chip cookie tasted so good it makes you wanna slap yo momma. The service was outstanding and they were extremely helpful for first time customers. The establishment looked very clean and they do have some outdoor seating. The end.

    I decided to give Good Belly Sandwich Shop a try after seeing a TikTok review that made the…read moresandwiches look absolutely massive and incredible. Based on that video, my expectations were pretty high. My wife and I made the trip out there, and I ordered the Reuben while she ordered the Turkey Reuben. The restaurant itself was clean and nice enough, although nothing particularly memorable. Their homemade chips were definitely the highlight of the meal--they were fresh, crispy, and probably the best part of our visit. Unfortunately, everything else fell short of what we were expecting. The Reuben lacked the bold, savory flavor that makes a great Reuben memorable. I was hoping for something that reminded me of the oversized, flavor-packed deli sandwiches you'd find in New York City, but this just wasn't it. In fact, I honestly think the Reuben at Jason's Deli has more flavor and is a better sandwich overall. Service also left something to be desired. While ordering drinks, we asked what they had available since they weren't listed on the main menu. Instead of simply pointing us in the right direction, the employee gestured toward a small drink menu sitting on the counter and made us feel like we should have already known it was there. As first-time customers, that wasn't a great first impression. Another thing that made the experience uncomfortable was an employee who continually walked around the dining room, clearing tables while closely watching people who were still eating. I understand keeping the restaurant clean, but it felt like we were being rushed, and several times it seemed like he was hovering over diners rather than just checking on the dining area. To top it off, I ended up with heartburn shortly after leaving, which didn't help my overall impression of the meal. I really wanted to love this place because the online videos made it look like a hidden gem with giant, authentic deli sandwiches. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to the hype. While the homemade chips were excellent, the sandwich, service, and overall atmosphere just didn't justify making another trip. Sadly, this is one place I don't plan on visiting again.

I ordered the shrimp and grits, and without exaggeration, they were the best I've ever had. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the balance of textures throughout the dish was incredible. Every bite had the perfect amount of crunch, flavor, and toppings. Nothing felt overwhelming or out of place. It was one of those meals where you find yourself slowing down just to enjoy every bite. Even the water deserves a mention. It was clean, crisp, and refreshing. If it came straight from the tap, I would have never known. It's a small detail, but it speaks to the overall dining experience when even something as simple as water stands out. The service was great, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. It's easy to see why this restaurant has built such a strong reputation. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 comes down to accessibility. As a person with a disability, parking can make or break a dining experience. Unfortunately, there was no handicap parking available, and there were no nearby parking spots open when I arrived. I ultimately had to park in a hotel lot about a block away, which cost $25 for just two hours. Not only was the cost frustrating, but the additional distance was challenging given my mobility needs. The food was phenomenal and absolutely worth trying, but I do hope accessibility becomes part of the conversation for future guests. For those without mobility concerns, this may not be an issue, but for disabled patrons, it's something important to consider before visiting.
