The restaurant is like an ice box, food is quite expensive, and the food leaves much to be desired. We ate in the Pompano Beach location, and found the same issues. So sorry! read more

The "million dollar bacon", is well, worth a million dollars! It was our breakfast appetizer. Not many people order an app for breakfast, trust me though, this is worth it. Breakfast itself, my daughter for the lemon risotto pancakes which were delicious. I waited for crispier potatoes and well done sausage but it just took to long so I ate my eggs. Would definitely go again and order correctly. read more

Honestly, really frustrating experience from start to finish. We even called ahead twice--once early to try to reserve and were told to call back closer to the time... which we did--so we expected things to be somewhat organized. They weren't. First, they wouldn't seat our group together inside, which already made things awkward. Then the tables they did give us were ridiculously small--clearly not meant for a group with kids. They told us to move outside, so we did, trying to make the best of it. One umbrella was already open, and we opened another ourselves. Then staff came over, grabbed both umbrellas, and said they "didn't work" and needed to take them back--while being completely over the kids as they were closing them. It felt chaotic and inconsiderate. What made it worse? They had no problem leaving another family sitting comfortably with an umbrella. So clearly, it wasn't actually an issue. Overall, disorganized, poor communication, and not very accommodating--especially when you're dining with kids. Definitely not the experience we expected after calling ahead, and not somewhere I'd go back to or recommend. read more

This was my first time at this location. There was plenty of parking during breakfast time. This restaurant is much bigger inside than you think it will be. Of course this location keeps up with the cute farmhouse vibe. My mom and I got a table in the back and immediately got coffee poured for us. The service was quick and friendly. The coffee was very good and I appreciate the flavored coffee creamer that are provided in a bowl on the table. I ordered the breakfast that included a pancake which I upgraded to a chocolate chip pancake, sausage, and eggs. Everything was sooooo good. The chocolate chip pancake didn't even need syrup I could eat it on its own. My mom ordered the strawberry cheesecake bites and she really enjoyed them. For the quality of food, price point, and service, you can't beat it. read more

Plenty of seating. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Food was tasty & fresh. The pancake was huge & yummy, really enjoyable. The potatoes were decent & the benedict was pretty good. The bread was better than the average English muffin. Could've had a bit more smoked salmon. I'll return. read more

I have yet to stop at a first watch I didn't like. They have an interesting menu, healthy choices and fresh food. Staff has always been great, the building has always been clean, service has always been fast and food has always been delicious. If you see one of these anywhere - stop and dine! read more

The breakfast and the service from Julia and a Jordan was fantastic. The French toast was the best and the hot coffee topped it all off. Thank you ! We will be back. read more

Experience: it was a Thursday morning around 10:45. We were in this part of town after an appointment and it wasn't quite lunch time, so we figured we'd look for brunch. Looked on YELP and found this spot. Facility: This is in a strip mall on the end with some outdoor seating when we entered the building. Inside they have booths and traditional tables and chairs. It was pretty crowded as we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table to sit, which wasn't too bad. Service: 4/5 the waitress was nice but new and it showed. But she did her best... just seemed overwhelmed. However, she got our orders correct so she did her job. Food: Their menu is fantastic! Both of us had a tough time decided. I had FOMO every time a plate passed me by. Everything looked delicious. But here's what we ordered: They brought our water in a cute old fashioned milk jug... nice touch. Trifecta - 5/5 we got the waffle, scrabbled eggs and bacon. Waffle was very good. I think they could have had a second egg (maybe they normally do, but with the egg shortage they are only giving 1 egg out now). The SoCal Hash 5/5 - This was so good... it has Mexican spiced chicken, potatoes, beans, cheese with pico, avocado, and an egg on top ... of course I got mine over easy ... yum!! They serve it with 2 tortillas to make some yummy breakfast tacos... I added some chalula on top to perfect it! Overall: we WILL be back because there were too many things left on this menu to try. read more

When someone walks into a restaurant, and there's a long people and there are at least 8 clean tables tables open and no one is being seated - that's a management problem. When tables are dirty and not being cleaned to open them for new customers - that's a management problem. When there are at least 8 tables open and 10 customer groups, and the hostess says it's at least a 45 minute wait - that's a management problem. I won't ever eat here again! read more

I visit this restaurant often and have always enjoyed the experience, which is why this visit was disappointing. Our waitress seemed very dismissive while taking my order and never once smiled or appeared happy to be serving us. Friendly, welcoming customer service can make a big difference in the overall dining experience. Additionally, a single pancake from our order had to be remade. While I understand kitchens can get busy, it didn't arrive to my table until after I had already finished the rest of our meal, making it completely unnecessary at that point. On a positive note, the manager handled the situation professionally and removed the pancake from the bill, which is appreciated. Of course I will absolutely return because I've had many good experiences here, and hoping this was just an off day. Cheers to many happy, positive days. read more

Overall a good experience. Came in at around 1PM for a casual brunch. Was seated & served relatively quickly, & the host put us in a child friendly location. Food was great, pumpkin spice pancakes were large and fluffy, and everything was overall very filling. Certainly returning. read more

Atmosphere was calm, even with a full restaurant. The kitchen was more noisy than the customers. Restaurant was clean and service was great. The food was not as great. I got the biscuit and turkey gravy. It was more like lemon cake than a biscuit. The lemon overpowered even the gravy, and potatoes were so salty I couldn't eat them. The coffee was great, but it was so strong and bitter that I had to put 8 creamers in it to make it drinkable. read more

Really falling off. Items on menu not as good as previous visits. Continously sending back food orders to have corrected. Takes the joy out of eating out. read more

Food was great but service was terrible. Server walked away without getting all of our drink orders, silverware was dirty and when we asked for more silverware the waitress took a long time to get it to us, also my mom ordered a juice and my mom had to remind the waitress about it and it came out when she was halfway through her meal. Ambiance is ok, definitely overcrowded so try to get there early if you're going on the weekend. read more

I'm giving a four star review for our experience at this First Watch franchise. We arrived after 12pm on a Saturday and there was plenty of seating available. As we had our dog, we decided to sit outside. All the tables were taken or dirty so we waited for one to be cleaned. Not all the tables ended up being cleaned at once and so birds came in and ate of the dirty tables. Fortunately they didn't bother our seating area. Our food came out promptly and our server was quick and polite. The bathroom was a good size but was out of paper towels. Overall, we had a good experience as the food was good. read more

The bad service here is no joke. Do not wait more than 5 minutes for a table at this mid establishment. Came here with my mom and dog - so we sat outside. No one came to offer us water in the 100 degree heat. Had to leave after 20 minutes of no service. read more

Excellent food, fast & friendly service, and a wonderfully lit and maintained restaurant - the First Watch in the Avenue Viera shopping center became one of our favorite places to eat during our short trip to the area. The fresh pressed juice cocktails were delicious, and a great vitamin-dense starter. The coffee was very rich, and their unsweet iced tea was refreshing. When our meals came out, we wolfed them down because they were just wonderfully delicious. I got their turkey burger, and it ended up being one of my favorite turkey burgers from any location (juicy well-seasoned patty, fresh crisp veggies, and lightly seasoned avocado spread). My wife's breakfast was also prepared perfectly, and I feel like their Million Dollar Potatoes were aptly named - so good! We've since found other First Watch locations that are near where we live, and have enjoyed visiting them. The First Watch in the Avenue Viera center was an excellent representation of the chain, making a great first impression on us, as well as making regular customers out of us. read more

First Watch is a great place to grab a casual breakfast or lunch. The menu has a wide variety of pancakes, egg dishes, sandwiches, and salads served all day. A great option for people who want a late breakfast. I ordered the Floridian French toast and it was great! It was served with jam and topped with fresh fruits including kiwi, strawberry, banana, and blueberries. Regular coffee is delicious as well. I recommend trying the flavored iced coffees too. read more

Great service and food, and the coffee was awesome ! Omelette customized to order and pancakes were wonderful.

First watch is an upscale brunch spot which does not disappoint. The food is decently priced and yummy as well. I didn't love my dish, but I did like it. I had the Parmesan prosciutto toast, the prosciutto was excellent, it melted in your mouth, but the bread got a little soggy. The arugula on the toast was tasty; adding avocado to the toast would've been a nice touch. I also had the blue power juice, it was yummy, but it would've been nice to have tasted the other fruits inside. The apple was very overpowering. Our server Dijon was very attentive , nice, and helped us with all our needs. read more

We got the feast for four and a huge disappointment. First off, it is $150 and it should be called feast for Two. We got 2 small crab leg things and not only not much crab, they were small. They were about the size of my pinkie. Also, some spices and flavor would have been nice. It is served in a bowl with liquid which were were told is garlic butter. We have a restaurant in Michigan that has a very similar item and it $95 and has 3 options of spices, medium, spicy and hot. So since it had no spices or enough to add to the flavor, the potatoes were even bland. Very frustrating experience overall. A good note, the server was excellent so not her fault on the very small portion for $150 and lack of flavor. read more

I had a very nice experience at First Watch. We had a little one, so sat outside. Service was prompt. The food was very good and arrived quickly. Our server, Amanda, took extra care of us. She was great. Plenty of options on the menu. read more

Went to a later lunch with my MIL today around 1pm and decided to go to first watch as I have always found this chain to be fairly consistent. Boy was I wrong on that visiting the Viera location for the first time. We were set at dirty table. Did not realize how dirty until we actually set down. After atleast 5 minutes I had to go and ask about where our waiter was. She finally came and we placed our entire order but with an attitude. The food was hot and fresh. She ordered the Ham & Guyere whole sandwich and I ordered the 1/2 ham & gueyre sandwich with a cup of tomato basil soup. The half of sandwich I received had significantly less ham and cheese than the sandwich my MIL received. Just FYI in case you think of doing the special. Our waitress barely checked on us. Had to go and get extra napkins on my own. Had to go and ask for a bag to put our to go boxes into on my own. Our server just did not want to be there or to serve us and made for a very unpleasant experience although the food on its own was good. It will be a long time before I come to this location of ever again. I have not seen service this bad in a long time and the restaurant was maybe 25% full because their internet was down and accepting cash payment only. read more

This spot is always such a delight! I met my dad here, and the moment I walked in, the server guided me straight to his table without me even needing to ask. The menu is full of tempting options, which made it hard to choose, but I went with the Honey Caramel Crunch coffee from their holiday menu. It was absolutely delicious and perfect for my sweet tooth! I also tried the Sunrise Granola Bowl. While it wasn't my favorite (mostly yogurt with a little fruit and not much granola), it did come with a blueberry muffin that totally made up for it. The muffin was so tasty, and the sugar on top added the perfect crunch! Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the meal, which made the experience even better. I can't wait to come back and try more of their options! read more

The BOMB! A cozy, upscale, healthy-forward breakfast/brunch/lunch spot! I had the frittata with spring greens and rustic bread and my husband had the chorizo omelette which came with homestyle potatoes and some whole-grain bread and fresh strawberry jam. I had a kale juice and my husband had the purple haze drink, which was beautiful. Coffee was fresh and our favorite part was Joyce, our waitress! She was spectacular in every way and made our dining experience extra special. read more

After a few visits, I can truly say that I love first watch. The food is so fresh and the service is great.

Tried first watch again. It's not terrible but I just don't think we will be back. Pricey food and chintzy. The fruit on the plate constisted of a bad grape and a tiny wedge of canned pineapple. Why bother. We got the chickichanga and it was filled with onions. Overpriced poor quality food. read more

Came in for lunch on a work trip and had a great experience! Despite being busy, we got seated and served quickly. Their seasonal menu is excellent this year! I got the sunny Seoul hash and it was amazing! It included potatoes, cheese, peppers, meat, over easy eggs, kimchi, sesame, and gochujang aioli. It was absolutely delicious! I'm sad it's only seasonal! I also enjoyed their new iced mocha mint coffee. It was so festive and sweet. Overall, great location and the seasonal menu rocks! read more

This was a terrible experience. How does a breakfast place run out of potatoes at noon? They did and I had to order something else. It was inconvenient. It was disappointing. The restaurant offered no way to make things right. Ended up paying $10 bucks for mediocre pancakes. Extremely annoying. Don't go here. The restaurant is overly crowded but seemed okay. Food is disappointing. read more

Veteran's Day....everyone was off....slammed...walked in and we were surprised they said only a 10-minute wait....we waited....and after less than 10 we were seated. Did I mention it was slammed? Ordered our food when they took our drink order. Twenty minutes later the hot food came out. I had the Bacado omlette. Pretty good...only one piece of toast???? The wife had the traditional breakfast.....two pieces of toast???? They make plenty of food for you so you should not leave hungry. The server swung by a few times....never did get the extra grape jelly though.....did I mention it was slammed. Overall we were very pleased since we thought when we saw all the people waiting it was going to be a long wait. PROTIP: Heard a two top walk up and say.....we checked in online and it said just check in with the hostess. They were seated immediately. Now WE know. read more

Suzanne is by far the best server! Her attention to details and friendly personality are the reason I keep coming back to First Watch.

Just came here on a Friday around noon, walked in asked if we could sit outside. They said yep someone will be out to help you. Sat outside for 15 minutes, no one even acknowledged us. Server was helping the other 2 tables and totally IGNORED us. Will not return. read more

Beach day on the 4th and a well-earned breakfast. We chose the closest First Watch because my husband loves the Morning Meditation drink & the million dollar bacon. This particular First Watch, via Google, allows you to join the wait list, 20-30 minutes, perfect time for our arrival from the beach. This First Watch is nestled amongst a community of new businesses and new housing. There is a small outside seating area. With about 4 tables, shaded by umbrellas. Once inside, we checked in and were advised it would be about 5 minutes to be seated. It was busy. Packed with people enjoying the food and company. The layout of this First Watch is mostly like others, maybe a bit smaller. A few minutes later, we're seated and greeted by our server. We ordered, from the summer menu, lone star brisket hash, smoked, hand-pulled brisket and house-pickled sweet peppers in a potato hash, topped with two cage-free eggs any style, Cheddar and Monterey Jack, fresh smashed avocado, housemade pico de gallo, chipotle aioli and scallions. Served with two warm wheat-corn tortillas. Trifecta (eggs, bacon, and French toast), a biscuit, and 2 sides of million dollar bacon. The line star hash was a little disappointing. 1st, the server did not ask me how I wanted my eggs and bought them out scrambled. The brisket was minimal. The wheat tortillas were the best on the plate and made the dish better. Made tacos with them. The trifecta dish was good. French toast not as fluffy but good. The million dollar bacon ALWAYS a wonderful delight. Drinks, Morning Meditation Fresh Juice, made with orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar, and beet. Purple Haze made with lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea, and a hint of lavender. They were good. The meditation drink is popular and the purple haze is a bit too sweet for me, but it was refreshing. The ambiance and food are what we have expected from First Watch. Fresh food. Well-lit farmhouse with great service. read more

Food here is delicious. Around the same price point as other breakfast joints but the food here is healthy and genuinely good. Staff were so nice and kind and my food came out relatively quickly. If you're looking for a breakfast place that will make you feel better after eating, this is it. Even their drinks are top notch. Would definitely recommend their spiked lavender lemonade for anyone who enjoys a drink. read more

I love First Watch! Visited this specific location today for the first time and experience was mostly positive. It was super packed being brunch time on the weekend. Regardless, we only waited about 7 minutes before we had a table! All employees were polite and working their butts off! Food came quickly and was amazing as per usual - highly recommend the Floridian French toast and biscuits & gravy meal. The only issue we had was the coffee mugs on our table when we were seated were clearly dirty - all 4 of them! This sketched us out so we did not order any drinks other than water. We told the waitress and she didn't seem to really care / think it was odd. Make sure to sign up for their email list for a BOGO entree birthday coupon! read more
