Had the steak and eggs hash and the quinoa power bowl. Both were good. Steak and eggs were cooked perfectly, but the potatoes in the hash were a bit over salted. Also ordered two banana pancakes, delicious. Warmed syrup was a nice touch. read more

I love the food at first watch. The trifecta is the perfect size meal for someone looking for a light breakfast. Service was quite terrible compared to other first watch locations. Our server helped other people who sat after us before they came to our table to help. The server was quite rude and short with us the whole time. This first watch location is nice and open so you did not feel crowded next to others. I will always go back to first watch because I love their food but was disappointed in the service. read more

This place is so good. We got the million dollar sandwich with a side of million dollar potatoes. So good. It's not spicy, even though it says hot honey. It was mild enough that my husband could eat it. read more

From my 7-year old... We came in we sat down and we met our waitress very fast about 10 minutes after that our waitress took our orders it took about 10 more minutes to get our food the food was great the eggs were good, but if you don't like plain eggs put salt on them The bread and pancakes were delicious. The fruit was very sweet. I recommend you come here for a very filling breakfast. also for kids they have a menu to color on and you can draw your own picture. I think this is a great thing to keep your kid distracted, not saying I want food, because they're hungry. read more

Hostess service at this location is not very nice. We visit other First Watch's, the one on Dobson is always exceptional with everything. Two weeks ago on a Friday morning a friend and I came in and we were seated in the middle on their hard wooden chairs. We noticed the next two younger people following us in were taken to a booth. We were not asked or offered if we wanted a booth, we are older like many are in this area, and the cushioned seating would have been sweet. After noticing right away when we sat down that there was another booth that was available, we asked to switch. Thank goodness the waitress was very nice and let us move, we noticed she looked for the hostess and she was no where around, she moved us herself. From there the waitress and food were great. With starting off being treated so badly by a hostess not sure we will be back to this location. Maybe she did not like us because we are older, she sure did not even smile when we came in. Surely did not feel welcome, not sure if to come back to this location, feeling now its worth driving farther to another First Watch to feel good throughout a good meal! read more

Extremely slow in the door, checked in online 10-15 before getting there. Wait time jumped from 15-20 mins to 30 mins once we got there...no biggey Watched 3 tables skip in front of our table of 2...they literally walked off the street. I was sitting next to the host desk, so I overheard the whole conversations. I asked why we weren't getting seated, and others were jumping in front of our spot...I was told they reserved time online (they didn't)....then I reminded them that I had also. Ok, got seated, moving on. The kitchen staff forgot to put Barbacoa in my Barbacoa breakfast bowl. ‍ The waitress fixed that situation, but this was really out of character. I go to first watch all over the valley, and no less than 30 times in the last year. Disappointed enough to start looking at other breakfast joints in town. Do better FW read more

Second time at a First Watch, first time at this location. Very clean & we were greeted quickly & with a friendly smile. We were greeted quickly by our complacent server. She wasn't unfriendly, but no smile or any real customer service... no offer of specials or opinions of what our meals were to come with. We ordered omelets. Our food came in a timely fashion & looked good, however, neither dish was very flavorful & I felt mine was overcooked - the eggs were quite hard. The dressing on the mixed greens was nice. It was simple & the most flavorful of all of the meal. I don't feel that we'll be going back anytime soon. read more

Food is always good. Service is good. It's usually busy but doesn't take away from the food or service.

Food is always consistent and fresh tasting. Staff is welcoming and consistent. Every time we visit we love to try their seasonal menu and it never disappoints! Bloody Mary's always taste perfect as well and the bacon with the syrup is top notch, read more

We stopped here around brunch time. Great staff (our server was excellent), clean restaurant, and great food. Glad we stopped and would definitely go back! read more

We got there 30 minutes before closing, and didn't realize that, probably would have gone elsewhere if I knew. Food came out cool and skillet was loaded with a crazy amount of onions! I like onions but not this much! Wife's pancake came out cool also, butter would not melt on the pancake or my toast. I have only had omelettes before which were fine, but was disappointed this time. Server was nice. read more

First Watch - I ate the meal, and what is plate was all the onions I picked out...it was stacked higher than it looks! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

My wife and I went to breakfast Monday morning. I ordered the traditional breakfast with bacon and fruit instead of potatoes. What I got was eggs potatoes and that was it. When I asked for the bacon was they brought me a slice of bacon. I never received the fruit. We have gone many times and have never experienced service or lack of like this time. It was very disappointing read more

This place is amazing. The atmosphere is incredible, the food is fresh, and the service is top notch. I highly recommend their wheat toast with jelly, their fresh orange juice, and any of their seasonal items has been a hit. Sometimes I wish the ratio of meat to everything else was higher but I also know that is usually a company policy. We will always be back. read more

If I was able to click zero, I would. They are very rude here and the waiter don't even smile. Just sad and the food was okay but served very little. read more

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

This is a very popular restaurant in the area. Always busy. Love the atmosphere and decor. Food and service are good too.

I ce here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. There was immediate seating. I got a cup of coffee and browsed the menu. It took me some time to decide what to order as this is not a common menu. It is geared to a healthier cuisine so I spent some time reading the details of each menu item. I finally decided on the smoked salmon and roasted vegetable frittata. This is a classic frittata with Wild Alaska Smoked Sockeye salmon, roasted shallots and tomatoes, parmesan cheese, a chive cream drizzel with herbs. Served with a side of cibatta toast and a salad with a lemon vinegrette. It took longer than I expected for the order to come out. When it arrived it was hot off the griddle. It was about 7 inches in diameter and resembled a pizza. The flavors all worked well together. The cibata toast was hard and over toasted. The salad was something I have never eaten at breakfast. It was a fresh bed of mixed greens and was well dressed with the lemon vinegrette. I'm not a fan of the menu here, but it is evident they care about offering a healthy alternative to the usual breakfast menu. read more

Amazing food presentation and so many great options. Best brunch spot I think I've ever been to. Service was excellent and quick. Great vibes calm atmosphere read more

This restaurant is selling the gimmick "Healthy" breakfast. Do not come here if you are hungry as the portions are tiny. read more

First Watch - Breakfast Quinoa protein bowl! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This First Watch location is one of the best places that has come to East Mesa in quite a while! Yummy food with a range of healthy options. It is often busy on weekends, so be aware of a possible wait before hand. Staff is very friendly and decor is tasteful. It is in a shopping plaza so the parking options aren't the best, but if you don't mind a little walk, there are options. One of my favorite meals is the corned beef hash. I also really enjoy the avocado toast. I have tried several dishes on their menu and have never been disappointed! Get some good breakfast at First Watch. read more

Amazing food, the million dollar bacon is worth a trip alone. We've eaten at first watch about five times now. All of them have had very good service and excellent food. read more

We were excited to try this popular spot in Mesa. The food was delicious, but definitely overpriced. The juice bar drinks were refreshing. We waited 30 minutes for avocado toast and a yogurt parfait after having waited 45 minutes for seating. read more

Pick up order that we paid $2.29 extra for avocado to be added to our Benedict order and this is what they gave us. The worlds saddest looking avocado I've ever seen... not 1/8th of an avocado and it was black. read more

First Watch has an outstanding, healthy and eclectic menu for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Mandie greets guests at the door with a welcoming and pleasant welcome recognition and accommodates seating requests as booths, window seating or table seating. I had the wonderful Morning Meditation and was served ice cold water without prompt. Andrew was the attentive, efficient, friendly and professional server and ensured that the order was taken promptly with the food arriving shortly thereafter. The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are so large that they could serve 2 and are fluffy, moist and delicious. The Million Dollar Bacon rises to the distinction of its name, was crispy and flavorful. I highly recommend this delightful American restaurant chain. read more

New location off Power Rd. Fresh food and wonderful selection that will help ya wake up and have a great day. The place is new and very clean. Service was quick and everyone was super friendly. It's not the biggest place out there, but you can still get in and out quickly. Was going to take a picture of my dish, but before I realized, it was long gone. So good. I went in on a Thursday so it wasn't crazy busy. But we must have missed the rush. It was busy soon after we arrived a parking can be tight when busy. Be patient, it's worth it . read more

First time here today! The staff was super friendly. The wait wasn't terrible for Sunday brunch. The only boo boo was my friend had to ask for new silverware twice since hers kept showing up with food caked on it from previous use. Bleh. (Hence 4 stars and not 5.) That aside, everything was tasty and I think the value you get for the food is decent given prices right now. I'll definitely back! Needing to load up on greens, I got the avocado toast with eggs and just added a side of their potatoes and a kale juice tonic. Super filling and delicious. If you get put off by kale like I do, just know the kale tonic's strongest flavor is apple juice, which works really well. One friend got a waffle with butter and compote and an unsweetened iced tea. The other went with a traditional breakfast with eggs "over hard" and potatoes. They both enjoyed their meals as well and we're all ready to come back. Wheelchair/power chair entrance is not too difficult and there is decent room for seating. There is also an outdoor space with table umbrellas. read more

I love this location! From the hostess, to the kitchen, they got it going on! Can we talk about the prices? They seem to have before Covid prices and that's a win any day for me. Half sandwich soup or salad is around $10.00 bucks. You can't go wrong with the Trifecta. I get the pancake and it's always perfect. Can't wait for summer when it's a bit less crowded with no winter visitors. read more

This place was fantastic. It was very busy but they managed to get us in rather quickly. The seasonal menu is an unbelievable idea specially for a breakfast spot. I ordered a seasonal drink & meal and both were amazing. The waitress we had was not very attentive as we had very little experiences with her. I will cut her slack due to the situation dealt & the crowded atmosphere. I recommend this if you are craving a unique or classical breakfast, or i you're looking to get some nice beverages in you on any given Sunday morning. read more

We love the Blackberry Bramble yum!! ( Sangria) Perfect spot to take mom. Always great friendly service!

So delicious such great service I had the breakfast sandwich. Oh my i inhaled it and am dreaming of another one.

Came here with my girlies for a lunch and it was great. Food was excellent and server was super sweet. Love their fresh juice bar. We did have to wait about 10 min when we went in the late morning. Would definitely come back. read more

Pancakes are hard and over cooked, I mentioned it to the food server and he said that the batter was a little thick and that's probably why they suck. The lady next to me ordered the same and her pancakes were over cooked also, all I heard was sorry, not can we make you more and let the cook know they were to done. The kid didn't care read more

We enjoyed a nice breakfast at this cute place with a menu full of fresh and healthy options. I had the frittata Rustica and opted for potatoes which were flavorful and just the right amount of crispness. It also comes with a slice of bread which was delicious. My husband had the French toast which is two thick slices of brioche served with blueberry sauce and warm syrup. We got our own carafes of coffee and water which are greatly appreciated. I also like that they have seasonal menus (although we tried to order the gingerbread donut holes and they were out at 10:00 am on a Thursday.) Our server was friendly and attentive. This is a busy place so plan accordingly. I am looking forward to another visit! read more

It had been a few years since we have been to a First Watch and some friends said they tried this one and liked it, so four of us went to have breakfast. The place is bright and friendly feeling and we were seated immediately. We had coffee all around and the carafes are not that large, so we needed a refill immediately and it came promptly. I had the Shrimp and Grits and enjoyed it, it had been a few years since I had this dish and it was the first time at breakfast. It worked for breakfast. My wife had a Chili Chorizo omelet and also enjoyed it. One of our friends had some other kind of omelet and the other had the turkey dsausage and gravy. Both of them were happy. The server was quick and friendly and we will be back. read more

Came here to grab some breakfast and try a juice, we had never been before but drive by it daily. The restaurant was clean and welcoming however the food was not worth it at all. Small portions despite being higher priced, but the part we couldn't get over was that it tasted as if everything was covered in a heavy shake of salt. The eggs had a texture to them as if they came from a powder or liquid mix, and the juice had an odd flavor. I thought it was just mine but my family had the same reaction once they tried their meals, they all noted it was super salty. I ended up having to toss our food out and was bummed to have wasted the money, unfortunately this isn't the place for us. read more

Terrible basically horrible egg BLT eggs or like rubber. Very little mayonnaise and when they asked for more it was a light mayonnaise don't ever give me light mayonnaise. The cheddar broccoli soup was like glue if you want decent cheddar broccoli soup make it yourself or go to kneaders my turkey sandwich was OK the waitress didn't give me a choice about the bread I guess I should've asked about that we won't be going back read more
