    Farmhouse Hash, Kids Pancake

    I honestly don't know why I have never been here! I will be coming here more often as its super close to my house and the atmosphere and food and service is incredible. Olivia our server is very professional and helpful with questions on the menu. Thank you first watch for starting our Friday off right!!

    Met up with some friends for breakfast last week to kick off the weekend. I've been to a couple First Watch locations but never this one. Had to pop in a support our friend Ryleigh! Rumor has it she's the best egg cooker person in AZ! :) We were greeted quickly and while the place was full, we got our table within 15min. Service was perfect and everyone we interacted with was amazing. There was a great morning vibe and the atmosphere was welcoming. The food was spot on! I got the seasonal Raspberry French Toast with cookie crumbles. Loved it! My friends all loved what they got as well. On a scale of 1 - 10, this is a perfect breakfast/brunch stop if you're in the area. I will definitely hit it up again!

    The coffee was good

    I arrived as they opened so there were just a few other patrons present. My first impression was how bright and uncluttered it was. Cleanliness was apparent as I looked around. I was greeted with a smile and a welcome within a minute or so. My waiter was pleasant and attentive without being bothersome. I ordered 2 eggs over easy, bacon, potatoes, toast and coffee. My food didn't take too long to arrive. The coffee is a little weaker then I like but it was okay . The toast was closer to bread then toast, it could have been a little more toasted . The eggs were cooked as requested and the potatoes except for a few were cooked properly. The bacon was cooked to perfection for my taste, crispy without being burned. In summary the service was excellent, food was good, prices fair and the place was pleasant and clean. I would enjoy eating there again in the future .

    Chickichanga. The strawberry looked very pale like frozen ones..

    We went to First Watch at another location and I thought food was pretty good.. So decided to come here and have brunch. They were pretty busy so had to wait about 20 minutes which was not too bad. Ordered the Holiday menu stay golden cinnamon roll and coffee for starter. Then ordered salmon egg Benedict, steak and egg hash, and chickichanga. Cinnamon roll was way way too sweet for my liking. Without frosting was not bad but man that frosting is lethal.. My steak and egg hash was pure disappointment. The parmesan cream sauce was so blend I didn't even realize it was "parmesan". Over all the dish had no flavor what so ever, I had my egg over medium but it was over cooked. Salmon egg Benedict was not too bad, but the poached egg was cooked perfect. Chickichanga was also not bad but lacked some flavor also. So many different breakfast places to eat this place definitely is a skip for me. I would not be returning. Over all

    2 Eggs, Pork Saisage, Homestyle Potatoes, English Muffin, and a side of Cheese Grits! VERY GOOD
    Matthew M.

    This is a solid place. It's always very clean and the employees are super nice. I ordered the typical breakfast which was two eggs, a side of meat, potatoes, and choice of bread. It was very good. I never order any breakfast without getting a side of grits as well so I decided for the cheesy ones and they were great. This is a little bit different than your typical greasy homestyle breakfast but it's still very good. Give this place a chance!

    If you're a breakfast lover, chances are you've come across a First Watch, a well known staple with lots of convenient locations. I love that I can be in an unfamiliar part of town and still know where to get a good brunch. The food is consistently delicious and the service is reliable. My faves are the farm house hash and lemon ricotta pancakes!

    The Works Omelet
    Michelle M.

    This was my first time having breakfast at First Watch, and I don't usually eat out for breakfast, but this was by far the best breakfast I've had! My friend and I both ordered the Works omelette, and it was excellent. The house-roasted Crimini mushrooms were incredibly flavorful, nicely sized, and cooked perfectly. The bacon inside the omelette was fresh and crispy, and I substituted extra ham in place of sausage, the ham was delicious too!Instead of the lemon-dressed mixed greens, I opted for the seasoned potatoes, and wow...these were phenomenal. Super crispy with a bold garlic and onion flavor, not overloaded with pepper like some places tend to do. Honestly, they were the best seasoned potatoes I've ever had.The meal also came with whole grain artisan toast with butter, which was warm, hearty, and very tasty.Another plus: if you're watching what you eat, First Watch's website has clear, detailed nutritional info for all their menu options. At just over $14, the price felt very reasonable given the quality of the food and today's prices. Highly recommend!

    Iced Coffee
    Lauren M.

    Always a great place for brunch! Iced coffees are always made perfectly sweet if you prefer your coffees to be more on the sugary side! The market veggie sandwich is a great choice if you come in during lunch time.

    Farm Hash
    Krista P.

    I was very pleased with the selection on the menu. There were many options to choose from and they had exactly what I was hoping for that morning. An amazing hash!! The potatoes were crispy and so nicely seasoned. The sunny side up eggs were great and the avocado was fresh and firm. Also, if you like fresh juice the Morning Glory is fantastic! The staff was pleasant and the host walked right up to us to greet us with a smile. The decor is unique and it was a bright venue.

    Breakfast time
    Pee G.

    Food was delicious and the customer service was great. They took a little long to bringing the food but they apologized and gave the right service after that. The ambiance is a little loud but the wait time wasn't too long. Enough parking and you can also eat in the patio

    Breakfast sandwich with potatoes
    Erika B.

    Delicious breakfast! Party of two seated immediately on a busy weekend morning. We both absolutely loved our breakfast of the double crunch breakfast tacos, and breakfast sandwich and my son loved his coffee drink. Service was very quick and friendly. Bathrooms were clean. What More could you ask for? Would definitely come again

    Morning Meditation
    Victoria M.

    It was my first time trying this great restaurant out! I was invited to go to breakfast with a friend, and I didn't know what to expect!! It's in a great location, awesome set up, nice modern vibe, the hostess and all the staff were amazing!! Everything looked so great and fresh on the menu! They accommodate allergies and make changes with no questions! I went with the Morning meditation fresh juice that has such an amazing different flavor! It was beautiful to look at and I think I'll have to go get one of those at least once a week.. it's my new favorite drink!!! The omelets are amazing, super fresh and flavorful!! Can't go wrong if you want a gray breakfast and great drinks 10/10 for sure!

    If this has eggs, mushrooms pico de gallo, spinach, lots of cheese
    Mary L.

    Playing some relaxing music. The restaurant is clean, not overly crowded and I got seated right away.. having a power wrap, only 25 minutes to put together. And it tastes delicious with a side of fruit. Always great service and yummy food.

    Coffee, cocoa, and a husband. Yum!

    Do they serve mimosas?

    They do not. Although, FW has some pretty exceptional non-alcoholic juice concoctions and tonics.

The chips were soggy when I got my food. I liked the red onions, it added a little kick to the food on top of what the food offers to begin with. 6/10 Eggs over medium- not too runny how I like it. Velvety, the eggs weren't burnt crispy and was delightful. Meat was umami, savory and tender. Different than what I expected, had a little kick of spice. Beans were dry and bland.

But I can judge simply food or filet a trout or chicken and add a homemade beurre blanc sauce. I like simple red wine but relish a Camus anniversary bottle. 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?

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.

Just 2 minutes from the ALB airport, this spot hits exactly how you need it to hit when you're either coming off a flight or heading into one: easy, classic, no-frills comfort. I went with the corned beef hash + pancakes breakfast, and it delivered that old-school diner energy. The hash was hearty and filling, eggs cooked just right, and the pancakes? Soft, golden, and exactly what you expect--nothing fancy, just solid. But let's be clear... the real reason you come here is the pie. Village Inn doesn't play about their pies, and the banana cream pie is the headline act. Light, creamy, not overly sweet, topped with whipped cream and just enough texture to make every bite feel intentional. For under $20 a pie, it feels like one of those rare "still worth it" moments in today's food scene. Yes--it's a chain.
