I love this spot everything came in a timely manner the staff is very kind and knowledgeable about the food. Love how fresh the food is everything comes locally read more

This is not an UberEats issue. This is a First Watch issue, and apparently only the one on Dobson. Last Sunday, order was incomplete...no drink, no muffin with granola bowl. No problem, UberEats refunded our money. This Sunday 2 orders of yogurt/granola bowls missing granola. Contact UberEats and they (free of charge) send us 2 more yogurt/granola bowls...with NO granola. Clearly First Watch's kitchen staff are incompetent. We called the resturant, manager apologizes, gets our address to send gift cards, and now we are off to the store to buy granola to make our breakfast complete. Makes me wonder how many orders the kitchen staff screws up at the actual resturant. Food is good...but we will NEVER use this location again. 3 strikes and your out! UberEats is great, btw. read more

It was okay. Ordered the ham and grueyer omelet. The eggs were dry and overcooked. Potatoes were good though. Tasted like something I can cook at home. Might try again and get something else. Friendly service. read more

I really like First Watch. I like the avocado toast which seems to have an entire avocado on it, I am not complaining at all! Order a side of bacon and you are good to go. The fresh juices, especially the Morning Meditation which has orange juice, lemon, turmeric and ginger topped with beet juice mixed with agave and it is dang tasty. read more

The only reason why I am giving First Watch a 2 star is because the oj was very fresh and delicious. Let's start my mentioning we had a bad taste in are mouth from the beginning. I order a oj and the waiter ask me twinge on two separate occasions if I want to change my drink to a fresh pressed drink after I order the drink I wanted already. After finally taking my drink order she then asked if it would be separate check. I was sitting at a booth with my mixed ethnicity family on Father's Day and we are being questioned if we need separate check as the waiter looks around the table. We quickly said no and the waiter had a confused look on her face. From that point on my food came out cold and my brothers as well. The potatoes were barley cooked. It was just over not a great or even good experience at first watch. I was taking my parents for the first time as they were visiting. We will never do that again. read more

I went in for lunch with my mother, grandmother around 10:30. They were not extremly busy but there was a rush. But I have to say the customer service is terrible, I have worked in the restaurant business for quite a few years and I must say this is sad how no one seems to have a personality or even a smile. read more

The atmosphere of this First Watch is woodsy, rustic and cozy. I ordered the veggie and goat cheese omelette, with toast and potatoes on the side. It was delicious! Also, I had it made with egg whites instead of whole eggs, and it was at no additional cost. The toast was soft on the inside and had lots of seeds, which I love. I also got the melon juice, which is made with honeydew melon, English cucumber, agave and lemon, and it was the BEST juice I have ever had. Simple, sweet, and incredibly refreshing, especially in this summer heat. It was $3.99, which, for the size, was a good price compared to the prices of other juices at juice bars or even at the store. Will definitely be back! read more

First watch was really good, but super busy! On Yelp it said there was no wait but then when I got there it was a 40 minute wait. It was worth it though. The avocado toast was excellent. read more

As a friend and I were driving by and a little hungry I remembered seeing this spot, so giving it a try seemed only logical. We got in quickly since it was after 10am and there were tables available. Service was fast and our waitress came back regularly until we had finished looking over the menu and making our choice. I had the Biscuit and Gravy and my friend had the Pumpkin Pancake with 2 eggs. I enjoyed the Turkey Gravy ( I would have enjoyed more.). The Eggs were perfect and I loved the Home Fries. My friends pancake was wonderful. It's what I will get next time. They give you lots of syrup which is very important. A young lady near us had the Avocado Toast. It looked fantastic. I'll have that in the future also since I plan on coming here often. I will be honest and tell you that the prices are a little higher than I would have expected for what you get. The pancake was large, but they should give you 2 for what it costs. They do have some unique creations to enjoy, so give them a try. read more

Food is really great but the service and kitchen are slooooow. I've been twice and both times we waited at least 20 minutes for our food. If you are going to have a huge restaurant you need a well staffed kitchen and enough waitstaff! Check it out but just make sure you don't have any immediate plans after. read more

I looooooove this place! Their chickachanga is to die for! The water tastes a bit off sometimes, but they make up for it with their menu items! Always coming back read more

So thankful for First Watch because I can go out for breakfast and not feel like I'm giving myself health problems. My favorites: hot coffee, kale tonic, and the avocado toast with basted eggs. I order it every time! My wife loves the quinoa bowls, but thinks the portion is a little too much. Go try it! read more

By far my favorite breakfast place in Arizona. Love their new renovated looked. They put a spin on your typical traditional breakfast. They have weekly specials that are to die for. Example: during the holidays they had cinnamon bun waffles. I can't get enough of this place. read more

Your taste buds will praise you!!! First Watch has definitely set the bar up way high!! You will not be disappointed. read more

Went to breakfast on Sunday. Got there when they opened. Water glasses and coffee mugs on our preset table were dirty; they had dried on food particle on them! When we brought this to our server's attention, she did not seem surprised and brought us new glasses several minutes later. When our food arrived, the second order of the day, our food was cold. How is the second order of the day cold?! Service was mediocre, with two servers caring for 5 tables. After hearing so much about how awesome this place is, maybe my expectations were too high. The only reason I'm giving it two stars is that although the food was cold, it was flavorful. However, I don't think I'll be going back. read more

The food is always delicious. Carly, our server, compelled me to write a review because of how incredibly nice she was. My parents speak broken English and I can easily tell when a server is bothered by this. Carly never gave off a sense of being annoyed. Thank you Carly and First Watch. read more

Service was a bit slow but the food was amazing. We were quickly seated but took a while for the server to greet us. I had the salmon Benedict with the potatoes. The menu is very healthy so first option is salad but I passed for the carbs...it was worth it. The only thing that could make this place better is if they had mimosas. read more

Breakfast was great! I had eggs Benedict BLT style. And it was great. My husband and nice had the breakfast taco's. And the liked it very much. Our waitress was very very friendly. We where sitting outside. There was an older man cleaning the tables and I think he had a bad morning. His face was not very friendly. read more

First time coming to this restaurant this morning. Great atmosphere, great employees, clean, well organized and great food. One plate could possibly feed up to two ppl. So if you aren't a big eater then splitting a dish would be perfect. The breakfast was great, the beverages were too. I had my birthday breakfast there today and I'm glad I did. Thank you for doing what you do " First Watch" I will be back again and I will spread the word on my experience. read more

I don't know how the food is, but I know for a fact the service is absolutely horrible. My girlfriend, and I came by today (04/01/2019), nobody was there to seat anyone, nor to help previous customers pay. Originally there was one man ahead of me, then a couple showed up after us. No acknowledgement of anyone walking in to let us know we'll be helped. While we waited for a few minutes, a group of roughly 5-6 people came up to pay before leaving. We waited for a total of about 5 minutes, and decided to leave, and go to T.C. Eggington's instead. First Watch has nonexistent service. read more

If you are a healthy eater in the clean either they offer a great variety of juices and healthy eating foods on the menu highly recommend this place the staff is always friendly and quickly to serve you read more

So I normally don't review because there are very few places worth it and a bad place isn't worth my time. AVOCADO TOAST IS INSANELY GOOD. Nothing is wrong with it... from the runny egg that isn't disgusting runny, bread and fresh avocado....yasss read more

This is the worst service ordered over the phone they said 15 mins, I arrive there they tell me Oh they messed up on the first order but it will be out quickly 25 minutes later I ask if my food is ready needless to say its just sitting then they still forgot the drink I ordered first and last time. Made me miss my kids track race as well, can't get that back never again don't know if it was just bad service or racism, but no apology or even tried to discount anything. read more

The food is delicious!! I went after a long hike and it was nice and refreshing, just what I needed!

I love their food and healthy options but absolutely hate their coffee! Which is weird because I'm a coffee lover who's totally not picky, but their cold brew was quite awful, but it may just be my preference! The service is always pretty quick and friendly. The place is close to campus so be prepared for crowded brunch rushes! We often go here for a nice healthy breakfast. I would recommend it for small parties or a nice cafe style bite to eat. read more

This place used to be the Good Egg but now it's First Watch. I really like the woodsy interior , the restaurant was clean and overall had a great atmosphere! Parking was nice since we got to park right in front & it wasn't as busy for a Saturday. I ordered the BLT Eggs Benedict which came out on a long ciabatta bread. Usually Egg Benedict comes out on two English muffins or bagels so it was the first time I've seen it served on a ciabatta bread. The bread was light and crispy, not to hard. The hollandaise was light and not as salty. The only thing I didn't care for was that it came with a side salad. The salad just did not go with my breakfast and I would have rather got a side of fresh fruit instead. You can tell by the menu that this place is geared towards healthier food options . My fiancé got the BBQ brisket hash and that was delicious! It had good flavor and the potatoes, eggs and brisket with the BBQ sauce on top all worked really well together. Overall food was great, price was not to expensive, our server was attentive. The only thing I would suggest is maybe not bringing out our bill right after we get our food. I felt kinda rushed to eat my food . read more

The line was too long at another breakfast eatery so we decided to try this place. The decor was nice and no wait. The server I had was lackluster and on automatic. My husband ordered a pot of decaf coffee and it was lukewarm amd lacking in flavor. He judges a place by their coffee so this was a strike against them. My food, the Bacado, was nice eith lots of bacon. I liked the option of having some greens instead of potatos. My husbands biscuits and gravy was cold like his coffee. Strike 2. Lukewarm service and food means we will not return. read more

I loved The Good Egg but it was definitely in need of a face lift so I was excited to see the transition to First Watch. I went there today and it seems like they're still working out the bugs. Food was good, no issues there. But it was incredibly hot in the restaurant! With out seeing a thermostat I'm guessing it was 80+. In Arizona. In the summer. Second they announce everywhere they have wifi, so I took my laptop to get some work done. I own a business close by and often will work at Starbucks or Paradise Bakery to get out of the office. While First Watch does have wifi, it's definitely not a "come and hang" vibe. My server brought my bill with my meal and immediately asked if I wanted a to go cup for my coffee. With the pushy atmosphere and ridiculous temperature I left as soon as possible and walked over to Starbucks to finish my work. Bummed as I was excited for a new spot. read more

Thank you Yelp! for the suggestion! Im so excited to have found this little gem! Super fresh food, exceptional service, and even perfect coffee! We tried the breakfast tacos, which my husband highly recommends. I chose the traditional breakfast-eggs were perfect and their breakfast potatoes were to die for! We will definitely be back! read more

Returned and noticed marked improvement. Very happy. Our server James was most helpful and attentive. Right on the money. Food was good. Service prompt and courteous. Thank you James . Hopefully we can track tou down the next time we visit. Great employee guys. He is a keeper. read more

Today was not my first visit to First Watch and this isn't my first review. Kenzie was our server today and she is amazing. Typically when you take children into restaurants they are passed over. Not today. Kenzie treated my kids with the same respect and attention she treated me with. All 3 kids made comments about how kind and great she was. I was overwhelmed by her service today and just wanted give her a big THANK YOU!!!!! So Kenzie from us to you..... we think you are pretty great!!!! read more

I was torn whether to do 3 or 4 stars. The restaurant is very nice. The service was excellent. My eggs and potatoes were just OK. The omelet was more flat than fluffy, the potatoes could have been cooked longer and my granddaughters bacon was just this side of burned. The waffles were nice and the kids were given fresh fruit with their meals. All the employees were very nice and the waitress was attentive. The restaurant doesn't smell greasy which has turned me off at other breakfast places. Maybe they need to spend a little more and get better chefs. read more

Great breakfast spot. Quality food and affordable prices. They use real maple syrup. Coffee is above par. PJ was our waitress and she was outstanding. She made our meal even better with her impressive service. She went above and beyond. Highly recommend this chain and this location! read more

Food Is good if you ever get service, management should all be fired, rude waitress she says several called in today, waited 25 min to sit because, No one waits on people, another 20 min to get coffee and water. There is a reason people call in at the same time, this starts at the top. Besides where is a manager, need to make themselves present they should be working, waiting on tables, bussing doing something. Must be one of the ones that called in. It was not much better 2 weeks ago when we came. Don't think we will pick this place again for our Sunday breakfast. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Always a great option for breakfast with several really good healthy choices. I eat here often!

Went to breakfast with a few members of the Wednesday breakfast club. A bit overpriced compared to other places we rotate through. Food was varied but generally just okay. Had the tri fecta...waffle, two eggs, one sausage plus coffee and tax....$14.38. Atmosphere was okay but was getting loud just before we left. Don't think it will be on the rotation. read more

We thought we would try this for the first time. Liked the decor. The restaurant was not busy being a day after a holiday. Ordered our food and for it not being busy, the food took a long time to come out. When our food finally arrived, my eggs were lukewarm, the potatoes were in my opinion, undercooked, my wife's eggs and bacon were also cold. About the only good thing was the coffee but then again, the coffee was not hot the way coffee should be. Don't think we will be back. read more

The service was fine, because it was a busy Sunday morning. The food tasted fresh and it had great flavor. I had the egg sandwich and the fruit on the side was great. Fruit salad is usually honeydew/cantaloupe, but this one had strawberries, blackberries, and pineapple. I will definitely go back!! read more

Good menu but service was beyond slow, dirty tables weren't being cleaned and there was a 30 min wait. Servers strolled around like they were taking a walk through the park. Food took 30+ min to come out, pancake came out cold and with diced veggies from another dish on it. Won't ever go back read more

25 min wait on a Sunday is expected but an additional 25 min wait to get a waitress to bring water or coffee is just ridiculous. One waitress came to the same table next to us twice while ignoring thne other three that were seated before them. When I asked what the delay was all about I was told 5 people called in sick. "Only 3 people were running the place". Poor management of staff and bad attitude of the ones that are there? I am paying for ar service, I am paying for food. I realize issues come up, but this is unacceptable. The food is good if you actually get it, but not worth the attitude and the wait. Go to the Bisbee Cafe down the street, better food nicer staff. read more
