Had a delicious breakfast this morning here at first watch had something was actually somewhat good for me. I'll take green pancake, but I threw some chocolate chips in there. Couple eggs, couple bacon awesome coffee was served by Rhea glad to see her and Matt are working at a real nice restaurant. Service is awesome and it's a nice clean restaurant. Check it out you'll like it.

Floridian French Toast
Kelsie F.

I have been to this location multiple times now and enjoy it each time. The food here is so fresh you can taste it! My latest favorite is the Floridian French Toast--it's loaded with fresh fruit and the toast is fluffy as all get out! I'm typically there around brunch time--11ish and there is never a wait.

Ordered online pickup and it did not disappoint! Food was ready at pickup time and tasted fresh. First Watch has the best iced coffee!

Belgian Waffle (try it with the blueberry jam)
Shanna F.

Love that First Watch has unique breakfast items. We ordered takeout and everything was still great. We tried the Elote Breakfast Burrito (a seasonal menu item) and it was massive, flavorful, and had a little kick of heat. We also got the traditional breakfast with a Belgian waffle that was super fluffy--be sure to try it with the blueberry jam!

We finally decided to try First Watch. It had opened somewhat recently and we've been meaning to give it a try. Walking into the place I was pleased with the environment. The place was clean, looked very comfortable, and the decor is simple and pleasant. We were seated immediately, which was surprising for 10:00 am on a Saturday. The server came quickly to take our drink order. We ordered coffee, which was bold and delicious. My wife ordered a traditional breakfast, eggs bacon and potatoes. I ordered the Bacado omelette. Both entrees were very tasty and plated beautifully. Needless to say, we were impressed with our first visit. We will definitely be going back.

Loving this huge coffee cup with delicious coffee. It's almost as big as my hand :)

First time visiting this location and all we can say is WOW! 5 stars for a nice size new location with healthier choices and service with a smile. They are absolutely amazing! Customer service is obviously a priority here, it started by a staff member opening the door to welcome us. (Ended this way as well) The location is clean, open and designed with modern fixtures and good size tables. Our food was delicious. Everything came out hot, tasting fresh, and timely. The bacon was cooked the way I asked and the potatoes had a great flavor and are seasoned well in my opinion. Honestly can't wait to try this place again, highly recommend you do too!

Shrimp and grits
Chris W.

Walked into First Watch today and immediately played a thrilling game of "Find Your Own Host"--spoiler alert, I lost. Eventually got the green light to sit at the bar (thanks, mystery staff member), and just as my hope was being restored, I made the tragic decision to say "yes" to the coffee. One sip in and I genuinely questioned if my taste buds had wronged someone in a past life. Thankfully, the shrimp and grits came in like a culinary superhero to save the morning. Hats off to the kitchen crew--y'all are carrying this place. Overall the food was good, service was okay and coffee was horrible. If I could recommend one thing it would be please start ordering your coffee from a new vendor.

Cobb salad
Alana C.

Don't order the Cobb salad to go unless you want to be very unimpressed. Tiny for 16 dollars and literally nothing in it

Day V.

The server was amazing and we absolutely loved it. Food was warm and fresh. The fact the coffee was brewed fresh and tasted hot. I loved the new special of the blueberry lemon cornbread. It was a perfect dish to share with everyone and hit the spot for this summer Sunday brunch. Definitely visit and make a reservation to skip the lines.

I would go back and try something different. The biscuits looked amazing. Service was very friendly and professional. The morning we visited was early and was not very busy. I'm not sure if it would be a loud environment on a busy day.

We love Welcome Diner, and have been here many times. It is definitely not fancy, but it is exactly…read morewhat it should be. It feels very hipster and very retro and it just has so much personality. There is a lot of outdoor seating in what is essentially a front yard. There are tables and string lights and lots of trees and there are even a couple of playground horses. When you walk in there is a hostess desk kind of pieced together with different pieces of furniture and above it is a turning disco ball. Could there be anything better? There are booths all the way around, and there are no tables - - but you can sit at the long counter and watch your food being made. That really is the best place to sit because it is so interesting to watch them. It's amazing to me that they can keep all those balls in the air and still make all this food so delicious. There is a small bar off to one side. Make sure you go to the bathroom. The bathroom is nothing special, just a room full of graffiti and stickers, but if you look up you'll see the ceiling covered with little pinatas and a little donkey in the hallway. The menu is just what you would think for a diner menu. You can order breakfast or some sandwiches, burgers, Mac and cheese, and there is a selection of dinner entrees. Sitting at the counter we saw a plate with a steak being prepared and it looked absolutely fantastic. We were not really very hungry, and just wanted a quick small bite. Have you got that Welcome Burger, and I got the Sasha. Hubby said his Burger was good, although it was quite small. The Sasha has smoked pork and they put the pork on the grill and it becomes a crispy kind of Patty of shredded pork, then they put the crispy shredded pork patty on a noble bun with coleslaw and a fantastic horseradish sauce. My sandwich was a 10 out of 10 for sure! I kind of feel like in Phoenix there are some areas that you can go to or not, but welcome diner is a place that everybody should go to at least once. I really want to go back for breakfast which is kind of shocking because I'm not a breakfast person.

Everything felt comforting and made with care.

We eat at hole in the walls and expensive places. But often we look at each other and choose between Dennys or VI, and are happy! Today, May 16th at VI on Signal Butte - rough start by a waitress who told both of us "I need to know your pie order. NOW." Resturant was not busy. Not at all. It was 4:15 maybe. Slow on a SUNDAY post-winter visitor rush on a late Spring day. Rushed. I pointed to my 3-6pm dinner choice of TURKEY. I showed her. "Just as it comes. She repeated it back to me as she typed in into her handheld computer. Chicken fried steak arrived. And a sausage looking oval patty shape of stuffing. Two long finger prints in it. I wondered if she picked up my loose stuffing as it's normally served here in America, or rather the chef did this to all who request it. I told my husband to look for spit in his food. My hubby? Nicest guy ever. But when he knows I didn't want and could not manage fried beef..but I had fasted 21 hours. I needed sliced fresh high protein meat. Wait another 15 min or eat the mess on my plate? I told her I'd eat it. Truly don't like complaining let alone confrontation with a Russian native with a sharp attitude because of a rough life. My nephew is from there so I GET the trauma. and I though I know I can usually switch my palate. But not for this plate of food. I felt sick looking at it. "Just eat the 'steak' I picked the stuffing apart - could not eat more than a thimble. Gummy gluten salty yuck was inedible. The FINGERPRINTS! 2 Fingertips past knuckles imprinted. I left it and hope someone there stopped to think "Why?" Our Waitress tried to make up by suddendly being nice when she walked behind me with a second piece of pie ...to go home. Thanked me for being agreeable or something. I nodded. I remember this saying if you l oh someone's attention the first three seconds and first three steps you'll spend the next 30 min trying to make them believe you're hiring. It's true. I was too tired this week to be extremely understanding but I'm never rude. I told my hubby let's both let this one go. And I said "But we won't return here." He nodded in agreement. Because I see people come in and sit down I see how tired they are and make quick calls to be able to turn their day around if only for a short time before they return home....to being a caregiver or to grieve a loss. Sad dinner and maybe she had a tough week too. But. But times 3 over.
