I recently visited the First Watch in Kendall (12516 SW 88th St, Miami) and it was easily one of the best brunch experiences I've had in a while. The restaurant is bright, spacious, and welcoming, with great indoor seating plus outdoor options--perfect for a sunny Florida morning. The food was fresh, flavorful, and made-to-order, just as advertised. I went with the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and a side of Million Dollar Bacon--absolutely delicious and generous portions that left me happy but not stuffed. The coffee was strong and hot, and their fresh juices are a must-try. But what really made the visit special was our server, Vanessa. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. She checked in just the right amount, remembered our preferences, and even suggested a great modification to make my dish even better. Her positive energy and genuine care made the whole meal feel extra special--she's a true standout! If you're in the Kendall area looking for a reliable, high-quality breakfast or brunch spot, First Watch is it. We'll definitely be back soon, and I'll be requesting Vanessa again if possible. Highly recommend--5 stars all the way! Thanks, Vanessa and the Kendall team--you made our morning awesome! read more

The food here was great and very filling. The dishes are huge enough to share with another person. The steak and eggs were tasty but it had a bit too much of feta cheese for my liking. It threw off the taste a bit. The strawberry shortcake French toast was delicious!! Not too sweet and not to tarty just right. Our server was great he was very attentive. The restaurant has plenty of seating. The only thing I don't like is that we can't order drinks until 1 pm on Sundays read more

Really delicious brunch spot. Came here after running a 5k to recharge. The Kale Tonic was nice and refreshing, the biscuits and gravy were moist and tender. The Strawberry Tres Leche French Toast was the star of the brunch though! Really amazing flavors! Come hungry because portions are generous! read more

The food here is killer and so fresh. I always enjoy my visits here for time to time. **Just an FYI for all the brunchies out there, this specific location DOES NOT sell any alcoholic beverages before 1PM on SUNDAYS** Keep that in mind if you're looking to try any of their cocktails or seasonal sangrias. Our server was attentive and very thoughtful and the restaurant isn't too noisy being how busy it is. I love this place and for the price, the amount of food you get is pretty hefty. I always have to take some home. Did I mention I love this place? read more

First Watch is my kinda breakfast joint! Perfectly cooked, delicious, bacon! Omg, these are to die for! And the pancakes were huge and fluffy. I didn't even get to finish them, cause they were that massive. The coffee was excellent w a hot pot left on your table. The place on a Saturday afternoon was packed w people enjoying their meal. Recommend you add your name to the waitlist while driving over cause it's not a long wait by the time you get there. I liked it a lot and cannot wait to return. A+ read more

Visited First Watch for Sunday brunch and used my birthday coupon - such a nice perk! Arrived around 9:15 am and there was already a 20-minute wait for inside seating, so we opted to sit outside. A note of caution: while the fresh air is nice, the outdoor seating area has quite a few birds around and unfortunately some of the chairs had bird droppings, so inside is definitely the better option if you can wait. We ordered the BLT Eggs Benedict and really enjoyed it - perfectly poached eggs, fresh tomato, and greens. For drinks, we tried the Blazing Dragon juice and the Kale Tonic. The Blazing Dragon leaned on the sweeter side, while the Kale Tonic was more on the bitter side - definitely more of an acquired taste. Service was attentive and friendly by Jessica especially considering how busy it was at peak breakfast time. Food arrived fresh, and the staff kept things moving smoothly despite the weekend crowd. Prices are on the higher side. Overall, a solid breakfast/brunch spot with creative menu options and unique juices. Great for families or groups, just be prepared for a wait on weekends and aim for inside seating. The birthday coupon was a fun extra touch and made the visit even better. read more

As a diner it is very nice and a step up from some of the older ones in the area which haven't been updated in decades. Typical diner style food. The seasonal specials feature nice dishes. The million dollar bacon was great. The iced latte was overly sweet--pure sugar. Service is good but it gets way too packed and way too loud. There aren't a lot of good brunch spots in west Kendall so everyone flocks here. The downside is that there are no gluten free options other than eggs and bacon. It's disappointing. read more

First watch food is really good. The menu is healthy. I recently went to the one in Doral. The service was horrible. Very disappointed. Maybe the service made the food taste horrible too. I love first watch but I will have to rate them low from management down. read more

Took me a while to visit this location, first one close to me!!! Went with a group of 7, we were seated promptly, all the orders were correct and nicely cooked. Nice, chill ambience and the food was all fresh and tasty. My favorites this visit were the club sandwich and the farmhouse skillet. I like any of their skillets honestly, and their avocado toast. I also enjoy their donuts with Nutella, pancakes and Belgian waffles. Anyways, I'll definitely be back for more. Yum. read more

First Watch never disappoints. This is my first time coming to the kendall location . I must say it's pretty big inside. It has indoor and outdoor seating which is great . We arrived on a busy Saturday morning around 10:30 am . Which I would say is peak time . We waited around 10- 15 minutes until our table was ready. My only issue was , once you receive a text message that you table is ready you have 2 minutes to check in with the hostess. If not you lose your spot. I feel like that time should be possibly 5 minutes. Once we sat down we were attended too right away . Our food came out quickly and it was hot which i appreciated . I got the trifecta which came with a pancake , sausage and eggs. My friends got the French toast and the blueberry lemon cornbread which was all good. I also ordered the purple haze juice which was delicious. I will definitely be back again to try other items on the menu . Until next time . read more

This was our first time at First Watch and we really enjoyed it! We shared the Blueberry Cornbread and it was so delicious, we really loved it! I tried their breakfast tacos which came with chicken, chorizo, eggs, and salsa; it was a generous portion and very tasty! We also tried their seasonal dishes: Elote Burrito which was very good and they loved the corn salsa, and the Strawberry Tres Leches french toast, which was also very delicious and sweet! We will definitely return to try more items from their menu! The service was very helpful and the food came out pretty quickly for how busy it was! read more

I just had breakfast I ordered eggs Benedict with salmon . Sooo disappointed the bread was hard asa rock, the salmon was scarce and had a bunch of red tomatoes . Never again read more

Stopped by Friday around noon. The hostess wasn't welcoming but we were seated quickly. We ordered the summer corn bread with blueberries and lemon butter and two breakfast plates. The corn bread had good flavor but it was very dry. I asked for soft scrambled eggs, they came out really well done. The breakfast potatoes weren't cooked all the way through. The breakfast plates come with one piece of toast, not two. The best part of the meal were the blueberry pancakes. Sooo good! The syrup was also warm which was a nice touch. They also leave a coffee carafe at your table so you can refill yourself as needed. That's a plus. The hostess that sat us also rang us up when we went to pay. She was super unfriendly and probably shouldn't be in that role. She seemed bothered and annoyed. This was my 2nd visit to First Watch although two different locations. I'm not really sure why they're so popular but maybe I'm just not ordering the right things. I may give it one more try at some point but not anytime soon. Not bad, but not great. read more

Good food and great options to choose from! Everything we ate here was delicious. The service was good and even though it was packed, we still got our food within a good amount of time. The ambiance is very nice, family-friendly, and it's a great place for brunch. We got there around 10:30 am and still had to wait an hour to be seated. Try and get there early. read more

First Watch - Breakfast Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Miami, Florida

I've been to First Watch in Orlando and I didn't think much of it. But when we walked into this new location I was blown away! It was 9am on a Monday morning so luckily there was no wait to sit. It's a casual little breakfast spot. We were sat quickly and turns out the host was also our server. John was absolutely incredible! He offered us coffee as soon as we sat down. He gave us recommendations and answered all of our questions. The food came out quickly and was so tasty! We shared an elote burrito and the tres leche French toast. I also had the Purple Haze which was really good! Overall, I would come back. I hear this place gets packed on the weekends and now I see why! You can join the waitlist online fyi! I would recommend checking them out on a weekday read more

Huge portion, very shareable! read more

Always the fan favorite. Love the food, the staff and the atmosphere. I would recommend this place to anyone no matter the time or day.

First time coming to the First Watch on 88th. Super friendly staff and great service. We went on a Saturday and put ourselves on the online queue, checked in, and only waited about 10 minutes for a table. We ordered the cornbread as an appetizer but sadly our food came our first so I went ahead and canceled the cornbread. Was looking forward to trying it:( The B.E.C was delicious just felt like it needed more sauce. Million dollar potatoes are always a must! My boyfriend really enjoyed his skillet hash, it came with tortillas and he went ahead and made himself some breakfast tacos. Clean environment and pretty restaurant. read more

My first experience was a location in P pines and I so loved it. So when I heard one was opening close to home it was exciting. The food always tastes fresh and has a healthier aspect I find then most breakfast spots. The menu consists of all things tasty from big ass pancakes, to sandwiches, huge salads, hot coffee and refreshing drinks. On this morning I went with the half sandwich and soup. The gruyere cheese and turkey sandwich (it's usually ham and gruyere but I don't eat pork) and I added a tomato slice was my go to. My friends had the egg breakfast with one had a pancakes the other French toast. The portions are huge and filling. We sat outside to enjoy our breakfast and not a sound was made as we all indulged. Truly a great place for good food. read more

Finally got to visit this location and I'm impressed! Parking is convenient, staff is very friendly. There's a lot of natural light coming in because of the glass. I went on a Monday morning and there was no wait, service was spectacular & the food came out fast & correct. The vibes were quiet which was enjoyable. I can't wait to come back! read more

This is such a nice, clean breakfast spot! The food selection is like that of a more upscale brunch spot with the relaxed feel of a Denny's or IHOP (except way more clean and better decorated). The staff is extremely kind and our waitress was exceptional, giving us excellent selection options. I ordered the mint mocha iced coffee that was so refreshing for a coffee and we started with the million dollar bacon. It was delicious but not the best million dollar bacon I've ever had. The food was served extremely fast and everything looked great. The seasoned potatoes were delicious and perfectly crispy - not soggy at all. My sandwich had a nice helping of smashed avocado and arugula. Portions were big and very filling. Overall a great breakfast spot when you want a step up from Denny's but a step down from a wild brunch spot with music and mimosas flowing. read more

This review has been a few months coming. No one could have been more excited when First Watch opened across from the Falls in the "Pinecrest" area. The first few visits were wonderful experiences. Service & food were great and everyone was kind. The last 5 visits (I know I gave it wayyy too many chances) have been horrible. I guess because they've been so popular, so quickly, they've allowed the service and food to fall short ( very short) and they've taken their patrons for granted. On Monday, we were there for a late breakfast (11am). There were maybe 5 tables that were taken so the majority of the restaurant was empty. We waited 22 mins for server to finally come to our table. This was after I went to the host to let him know no one had come to our table. The waitress was kind and took our order, but was never to be seen again. In addition to the delayed service, the food took another 25 mins and they were avocado toasts, nothing complicated. I think the lack of care and awful service will be their downfall. With new restaurants opening up in the area, we have plenty of other choices! I know I won't be back any time soon. I've given them the benefit of the doubt one too many times! read more

The place is really clean and well organized. Indoor and outdoor seating. It was full but not loud- I could hear everyone just fine. Jon was our server.. perfect service. Refills were on point. Coffee was hot. Unobtrusive in his presence. Hospitable/personable without being fake. Kudos to whoever found him.. I would have snatched him up in a second back In my restaurant manager days- head waiter for sure.. he was everywhere. Our table was a table for two set against a wall that appears to have been an afterthought. Everyone that came in walked by our table and stopped to see what we were eating. Not sure it's worth having that table where it is.. diminished our overall experience. The chicken chimi was good- the avocado was perfect- cool and sweet- but the chicken was that I'm temperature. Wish it was hot. But it was still a solid choice. The traditional breakfast was good. Bacon cooked perfectly. The bread was delish. The eggs missed the mark- ordered over medium but they were over cooked. No run to them at all, sadly. The potatoes were lukewarm. The coffee was VERY good. The Parmesan prosciutto toast was really good. I ended up eating mine without the eggs. And that was really good. (Was good with the eggs too) The table stamp noting the sustainably sourced wood was cool. read more

First Watch's popular breakfast and brunch offerings are now in Kendall! Whoo hoo!! There's both indoor and outdoor seating with light and airy decor. We ordered the Trifecta (waffle or pancakes, eggs any style and bacon), and the Floridian French toast covered with banana, kiwi, berries and powered cinnamon sugar. The food was good, offering a solid, breakfast experience with all the classic options you'd expect.  What really elevated the experience was our server, Chris, who was fantastic! Friendly and attentive, he made us feel welcomed. If you're in the area and looking for a pleasant breakfast or brunch spot with great service, First Watch is worth checking out! Plan to arrive early to avoid a long wait. You can also join the waitlist online a little before arriving to save some time, which we did and we were shown pretty quickly to a table. read more

This location is perfect if you're in the Kendall area and want to grab breakfast on the turnpike by the exit. However, the experience was far from ideal. The seating area was absolutely terrible. We requested a change from the staff to the management team, but it was a nightmare. The coffee and food went cold in seconds because the space is so small and the air is blowing ridiculously hard. It felt like we were in 50-degree weather while it was about 100 degrees outside! They kept the windows and the terrace/patio area open, which was not a smart decision. The humidity and heat combined made it unbearable. I can't even begin to tell you if the food had any taste because it was all cold. Our server was very nice and handled the situation well, but the table across from us also reached out to the management team. They were unprofessional and, to be honest, rude. This was especially difficult for our daughter, who kept asking to leave and expressing how cold she felt. I will definitely not be returning to this establishment. read more

I joined some friends for brunch the other day at the new Kendall First Watch location. I had been to locations in Melbourne and Orlando I the past and enjoyed them. I had added our name to the wait ahead of time using the app (secret hack!) so we ended up waiting about 30 minutes when we got there instead of the 2 hours one of the girls in our group had been quoted when she first arrived. First Watch is a classic but modern breakfast diner. It's open and bright inside. The food is great. I had the mint mocha iced coffee which was good but def be prepared that it's more like dessert than a typical breakfast coffee. This time I had the biscuits with turkey gravy and it was delicious. (I've had pancakes in the past too which I also recommend). Everyone that was there thought their food was delicious too! read more

Coming from New England to see family. Service was terrible. Ordered a power bowl they brought a power wrap. But what makes this place unbearable is the LOUD LOUD LOUD LOUD unbearable music. Do the freaking owners realize that people come here to gather, eat, have a conversation and enjoy???? People are not interested in having brunch at a club or clubbing. When I asked the manager, she said, "sorry, we tried but it comes on automatically with a timer." What he hell? Everyone left irritable and in a bad mood. Horrible experience. Take your $$$ elsewhere. read more

So glad we finally got a First Watch in Kendall!!! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It has a country/beachside style with an open kitchen concept. Feels like you are close the beach or in the Everglades. Wait times are a bit long but it's very new. The first weekend the wait times were about 2 hours. This weekend the wait was about 45 mins. Worth the wait though... The coffee here was the best. I barely had to add any sugar to mine. Definitely recommend as well of an order of million dollar bacon which is caramelized. I ordered the BLT eggs Benedict with a side of million dollar potatoes. The hollandaise sauce had a lemony kick and the potatoes were covered in bacon and gravy. My husband got the chocolate chip pancakes with eggs and sausage. The pancakes were so fluffy and so chocolatey. Yum! My mom got the French toast with fruit and my dad got the waffle with eggs and turkey sausage. They both came a berry compote that was by far the best thing on the table. Will be getting the waffles next time!! For a healthy alternative to breakfast.. First watch can't be beat. Portion sizes are huge for the pricing as well. You definitely get a bang for your buck!! read more

Love this place! Everything I've eaten here so far has been great. The service is always great as well and nice place.

This location is disappointing! The waffles are always soggy not crispy from being undercooked. Over medium eggs are served over hard. They will not warm the blue berry topping for the waffles like other locations. The food is served cold when they are empty and when they are busy. The coffee is awful very low quality. I've given this location numerous tries and each time it has gotten worse. Even with bringing my own coffee. Anywhere else is better than here. They have the worst cooks! And the servers take long with an attitude. For example they forgot the blueberries and butter for the waffle and waited on other customers for 20 minutes before getting the missing items. They just don't give a flying u know what. Save your money don't come here. read more
