Overpriced, shady eggs counts and baby screaming - My husband and I went to this restaurant a couple of times. the first time my husband had a sandwich and the menu state 2 eggs but when it came only 1 egg was served. The last time, I ordered 3 simple scramble eggs with bacon. I've been on a keto diet for sometime now and I'm very familiar on the size of 3 scramble eggs. When it arrived, it was the size of ONLY one egg. When I asked the server he did not flinch an eye and said: yes it's 3 eggs.. BS... Also during our whole time at the restaurant a baby was screaming his eyes out and nobody did anything to even ask the parent to bring the baby outside to calm him..Not a very pleasant experience to say the least.. Will surely not be back there read more

Love First Watch!!! So grateful there is one in Lutz!! My family has breakfast here at least once a week! The food is consistent and delicious! read more

Standing here Father's Day and counted 36 open seats but they have 50 people waiting inside and outside for a table. They can't manage the place. 4 ladies standing up front taking names and wiping down menus instead of working. Servers are not appearing they are in a rush for anything. Looks fully staffed. Why are they telling people an hour and a half wait when they all walk in and see all those empty seats? Then we literally got a haircut next door and checked in before that. They said there were two people ahead of us when we went there and then suddenly four and still more people standing outside than there were eating inside. Left. Many people walking in and hearing hour and a half and seeing all those empty tables. read more

The wait in line app is completely pointless if they don't put you on the list until you get there anyways. The wait was ridiculous on Fathers Day and also waited for food which came out for a group of 5 at different times. Will not return. Thanks for the horrible Fathers Day breakfast! read more

This is the second time I've been there have you exact same thing $1 million bacon in the cinnamon chip pancakes are amazingly delicious service was amazing I really hope these pancakes become a part of the menu probably the best pancakes I've ever had read more

First Watch asked me to email them so management can reach out to me. It's been 2 weeks and no response. They don't care and just wanted to show face on here. read more

Never had something bad at first watch. Never had a bad experience the food is great and the kale tonic is my favorite

Not worth it at all!!! We waited over 25 minutes... didn't get food for another 40 minutes. The manager was rude and only made excuses for why everything took so long. Don't go to this location if you have children or care about how much time you have to spend to get a simple meal. There are plenty of other places near by that are much better. So disappointed read more

On the phone there was no wait then 5 minutes later when we got there it was a 30 minute wait. I confirm the number and address with the guy at the hostess spot and he said he wasn't sure if that was their number or address and that he thinks it was a different one. Call the number again and literally the lady next to him picks up.... why BS me? read more

My friend and I have tried to give this location a chance at least three times. Today, we were seated rather quickly and placed our orders as soon as the waitress arrived. Thank god we did, because we waited an hour and a half for our food to be served. Not only did the kitchen prepare at least fifteen Doordash/online orders before even considering those in the actual restaurant, but nearly everyone who was seated after us was served before us. This location is clearly short staffed, since the same two waitresses were managing the entire restaurant. The wait was ridiculous considering the food we received. My friend's eggs had cheese that appeared as though they had been marinating under a heat lamp for an hour and our food wasn't worth the $17 we each had to cough up. Not to mention, everyone around us was complaining and asking for their food to be comped. I will not be returning here, the food made me ill after I got home. Go to a different location for a better experience. read more

Just an ok experience. There was a small wait upon our arrival. After being seated, it took quite some time for a server to arrive to take our drink order. After a good 20 minutes of not returning, a hostess saw we still hadn't been served anything to drink and she came and took our drink order as well. Finally, our server returned. By the time we could finally order, tables that had sat after us, had received their food and were already paying to leave. It will be some time before we "try" it again. There are way too many other options then to go somewhere with bad service read more

So good! Every time! Food is fresh, healthy, seasonal... two thumbs up! A great place to meet up with your friends, eat & catch up.

This is the second time I've been here. We both had the avocado toast with eggs and coffee. It was delicious. Service was excellent. Environment is pleasant urban barn setting. Clean bathrooms. Both times, there was no waiting but, it was a weekday around 10 am. Great place to go for healthy, well plated food. read more

I had eggs Benedict with avocado lox and tomato. It was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Love it 5 stars. It's a good place but it's worth the 20 minute wait. read more

Speedy service, great food. Kale tonic was awesome. Wait is long since the place is new. You can "check in" on yelp before you get there to avoid waiting long when you arrive. I'll do that next time. Great addition to the area! read more

Ive never had food so good I absolutely loved it ik 100000 percent coming back, the French toast was amazing and the farm house skillet was delicious, the avocado gave a perfect flavor. read more

I took my three grandchildren to this restaurant earlier this week. They all ordered the fruit crepes One of the crepes had only bananas in it and the other two had mostly bananas and perhaps one strawberry that was sliced into four or five thin pieces. My friend ordered the kale salad, and the entire top of her salad was filled with sliced carrots with very little other items in the bowl. If this is the idea of a quality restaurant serving quality food, I'm done with it. First watch, you should know better. Maybe that is why only 10 or 12 people were there at lunchtime. read more

Went here on a Sunday around 11am. My boyfriend and I got on the waitlist via yelp 20 minutes before arriving. Once there we only had another 5 minute wait time to be seated. I eat vegan and got the chia seed pudding bowl and subbed avocado for the almond butter on the toast. I appreciated that there was Silk non-dairy creamer at the table. He got the steak and eggs and French toast. Our food was about 30-40 min to arrive after ordering which my boyfriend thought was a bit considering what we ordered wasn't super complicated. Service was good and the food was tasty. read more

First time here, and I won't be back. Our waiter took our drink and food order, brought the drinks, and didn't return until the food came out- which he cooked! We saw him cooking in the kitchen, which ok- weird but fine. What wasn't fine is we needed refills the entire time we were waiting on our food. When my French toast came out, it had a few green onions on top. Annoyed, I took them off, but then I discovered the green onions were in the dang butter and scattered throughout my toast. read more

We have eaten at this location once before & didn't like the indifferent service we got, so we haven't been back in over a year. Today being a holiday, all of our regular lunch places were packed, and this location was not busy at all, so we decided to try them again, but we learned why they were not busy. Our conclusion this time was the same as the first. The food was good, but not worth the extra cost. The service was not good. Had to wait about 10 minutes after we arrived, finally another customer went to the hostess & pointed out that we had not been served. We gave the waitress our drink & food orders all at once, to save her a trip. While there, we overheard her tell another group, "I don't know, I don't usually work here." Also to others, "Sure you are welcome to move if you don't like it here." Very indifferent & uninterested. She checked back twice immediately after our food arrived, then we didn't see her again until she brought our check. No drink refills, no courtesy, & she didn't even speak to a group nearby that brought a dog to their table. Maybe that's a thing around here. There are too many decent places to eat nearby to come back a third time. read more

Driving around looking for a place to eat breakfast. Decided to give First Watch a try. We were welcomed at the door which is always a good sign. I was sold when I saw avocado toast on the menu. Big portion and yummy, indeed. Tom has a traditional breakfast, 2 eggs, whole grain toast and breakfast potatoes. We were also offered a cup to go! Great service, great food. Nicely done, thank you. read more

I would say my favorite breakfast place right now. Great food and for the price you will not be able to complain about the serving size. Service has always been quick and attentive. Food is able to be within macros for those that are watching their Wright or in training. read more

This place is so cute! We split a few items off their specials - the bacon appetizer and barbacoa breakfast tacos. Everything was delicious!!! Our daughter had half a waffle, fruit and sausage. As a mom of three littles, a good kid menu is crucial and this place delivers. We had to rush a little, and I'm already planning my next trip when I can take some more time to enjoy it. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, bathrooms are nice and clean and staff was helpful. read more

My new favorite place for breakfast! I love how fresh the food taste and the different recipes available. Customer service has always been good, which I appreciate. The jelly that comes with the multi grain roast is amazing. I recommend checking in online as it's not just my fave breakfast place. read more

I can honestly say that the Management and staff at Firstwatch take their customers complaints very seriously. My family once had a bad experience here due to staffing issues, however; we had lunch here today and the experience was wonderful. Jason the Manager at the Lutz location was very kind and obliging and was attentive to our recent complaint. The waitresses and chefs there honestly work very hard to deliver top notch food and service, and what impressed my husband and I more was the fact that they were so apologetic and couldn't do enough to make our experience today a more positive one. Thank you guys for turning a negative experience into a positive one. Everyone deserves a second chance, especially you guys! read more

Absolutely delicious! Great atmosphere and food was amazing. I had the Truffled Mushroom Hash and it's on the list of one of my favorite breakfasts. read more

Good food, but double the price of Waffle House. Breakfast is $12 including tip, where as Walffle Hous

I always enjoy coming here with family and friends. I'm especially fond of the chickichanga! The coffee is average at best and occasionally the homestyle potatoes are undercooked for my liking, but overall the food, service and ambience is good. For relatively quick, casual dining with plenty of healthy menu options, this is a a great option! read more

Expensive! Family of 3=$50 w/tip We didn't order anything crazy. 2adult meals,1 kids meal Average meal there is $9.00 plus. Keep in mind I'm not trying to be cheap but $50 is a lot considering its just breakfast. Left hungry and unsatisfied. read more

Tried the new location in lutz. Definitely growing pains. New waitstaff delivering wrong drink order, dirty glasses, and lukewarm food leaves me disappointed. I ordered the blt eggs Benedict. Flavor was spot on but was cool. I also ordered potatoes that were barely done. I think the egg dish waited on the potatoes hence the temp problem read more

I don't plan on returning. Service was painfully slow, taking over 40 minutes for the order to come from the kitchen. Then the food fell off the plate when I touched it. Round two 15 minutes later was over cooked. You pay a premium price here but the results are anything but. When you check out you are not asked how your visit was. I don't see this location lasting very long. read more

Food took forever. Really need to work on kitchen issues. Won't be back for a long time.

I just want to start out saying that I love first watch I have been going to your location in carrollwood for 20years not to mention that I have been dinning out for 48 year's well I have been to this location 2times in this last week that they have been neither one of those visits were pleasent while the first visit was Sunday and our server was great and everything was good but my wife had noticed that she was upset been crying wife asked her if she was ok and if we could help or do anything for her she said she was ok just stress of new store opening so we left it at that no big deal but this morning as we were walking in through the patio we over head a blonde girl basically threatening the hostess girl from Sunday that if she didn't pick up her pace she will be fired in my 48 year's on this Earth and the 25 year's I have been in business I have never humiliated an employee like this very very in professional not a good look first watch so we asked our server what is that blonde girls problem and we just got head shake and an eyeroll if that's the management there we won't be returning to this first watch again and I'm sure we aren't the only people that noticed that the whole restaurant staff seams to be walking around on pins and needles even my kids could feel the tension in there I guess this is the world we are living in now were 20 year old kids that our put in charge that don't even know how to talk to people I mean whatever happened to management coming over and talking to the customers and asking how everything is going I guess that doesn't matter anymore I guess you hide in the back with bad look on your face as you threaten employees 2 weeks before Christmas if they don't move like she likes that you will be FIRED I'm still shocked about what I seen and over heard it saddens me to know that kids like this is our future , intilted, disrespectful antisocial behavior this is what computers cellphones technology has done to our youth read more

Food is decent. Took a long time to get food. Told the person who delivered food we needed syrup for pancakes, which is common sense. She never came back but our waitress came by 5 minutes letting and got some for us. Server was great except she charged us for coffee that we didn't have. I was in a rush after waiting for the check so long and didn't catch it till I got home. They got me this time but they won't catch me again, I won't be back. Keke's is cheaper, better ( the cheesesteak omelet is phenomenal as well as the chocolate chip pancakes and anything I have had ) the food comes out fast and you don't wait for the check and get over charged for stuff you didn't get. Also, and this is HUGE to me, the consistency at Keke's is second to none. I've eaten there over a dozen times and every single time it was the same! Consistently cranking out the quality of food in the time they do is truly incredible. My wife wanted to try something new, we did and the food was good but not for the price or service. Keke you literally get what you pay for. 3 stars Because the food was good, not great. read more

I have been to First Watch 4 times now. The first 2 times were great but the last 2 were not god at all. We meet a friend there because I told them how great the place was but then we waited quite a while before we got our food that even the manager came by and said sorry for the wait. We said it was ok since we were with friends and talking. Then the food came out, I asked for scramble eggs and they were not cooked well, very running. I asked if they could please bring me another plate of scrambled eggs which they did. Then when I was getting ready to eat it there was a hair in my eggs. They did comp my dish but not even the manager came to say sorry. We had already been there so ling I just wanted to leave. The last time we went we had to wait a while before we got our food then the sausage was not cooked properly. It sucks because I really enjoyed it the First time, the place is beautiful but after those 2 experiences I don't think we will be going. read more
