I wanted Eggs Benedict! (That's my foofoo brunch of choice.) First Watch came up as one of the highest rated brunch spots. Satisfying enjoyment fulfilled! They're in a shared lot with other stores and restaurants, so nearby parking may be troublesome. Mask requirements had just begun to dwindle and the place was packed with about a 15-minute wait. A single-seater or couple had shorter wait times. With a downloadable menu, my order was ready to be placed upon sitting. As for coffee - a pitcher and 4 cups later, very alert and dehydrated. Caffeine addict problems... They've got fresh ingredients on their menu items - close to being farm to table; which could be the craze on that scale for healthy eating choices. I love their menu! That made it difficult to decide. Considering their busy atmosphere, with people standing as they waited, the service at this Miami location was tip-top. My server was very attentive; even the manager dropped by to ensure of my pleasant experience. (You guys, if they see you taking pictures, they are most likely aware you may post a review of their service.) Even so, I dined there with excellent food and customer service, delicious quality and presentation, including a decent cost for a foofoo meal. Recently, I learned this restaurant is a franchise. If ever, I hope my future experiences at other locations will be just as favorable. read more

I do not know what it is about nearly every single First Watch I've eaten at but the service, across the board, is mediocre at best. I loooooove their eggs Benedict and their avocado toast so much, I try a new location whenever the opportunity presents itself but dang. I'm probably going to stop trying though. Excellent service can really help with Meh food but meh service can only be carried so far by good food. Maybe they need new training classes or something...... Just sayin read more

where my friends had just got to Miami for a vacation and decided to stop at first watch for breakfast/brunch. We were so hungry after our flight and honestly making this. Our first stop was the best decision I never had lemon ricotta before so it was a First and I loved it. I'm no longer in Florida but I definitely will be back at another location to have the same exact thing. I got the trifecta with lemon ricotta pancakes which came with eggs and bacon, I believe. in addition I also had a side of hot chocolate. The food did take a little while to come out but honestly we didn't mind I'll see were just all chatting away anyways, but the food was definitely a 10 out of 10. Our server and service was amazing. We were seated the moment we got there and we all had a great time. read more

First Watch - lemon ricotta pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Miami, Florida

Best place to enjoy some healthy fresh food! They have a variety of breakfast and lunch on the menu. They do close at 2:30 pm so they do not have any dinner options. However the million dollar bacon is a must try! It has a sweet pepper taste to it and it is perfectly cooked. I also recommend the breakfast tacos it comes with avocado, eggs and chicken. Everything here taste so good and fresh, they also have vegan options, definitely worth coming here every time. read more

You can never go wrong with First Watch. They have lots of options for any dietary needs. The servers are always attentive and helpful. The food tastes delicious and I enjoy all the options they have for their morning drinks either coffee or juices. You need to try! read more

I first dined at First Watch in Phoenix and had a great experience. This one was equally good with food that will not disappoint. They have such a varied menu with options for both the meat lovers and vegans in the family. Healthy options such as egg white omelets or even southern style grits with either butter or cheese on top. Be prepared for a wait for breakfast given social distancing. There is a Starbucks in the same shopping center so you can grab a coffee while you wait. Bon appétit! read more

Love this place! I had the Market Hash, my husband had Farm House hash and a side of million dollars bacon. We also had drinks, I enjoyed the purple haze and hubby enjoyed the kale tonic. Both fantastic. We were both pleasantly comatose after our meal. Portions are very large, but so damn tasty! This is my new favorite go-to for diner food. read more

While traveling recently, we were extremely happy to see one of our favorite restaurants, a First Watch. We were shocked that there was no one in line even though we had put our name on the list. Now they had some trouble with their texting but that's a different story. The food was good as usual, waitress was super friendly, well worth the money, anytime I see one of these restaurants I will stop in and eat! -Per Rita read more

You know the food is good when you don't even take photos of it. That and honestly we had just flown back from Chile and we just wanted some good ol' American food. We got in just in time for breakfast and we wanted something nearby and reliable. First Watch it was. I used to frequent this area back in the day and had no idea they had opened a First Watch there. Going in, the restaurant is was packed. We put our names and waited around 15-20 minutes to be sat. We ended up eating at the community table, which was a first for me. It wasn't bad at all. Ordered coffee and orange juice for drinks. Had avocado toast and the chickichanga for our meals. Became vacuums and sucked up our meals. Got the tab and paid up front. Very uneventful all things considered, but it was what we needed after traveling 10+ hours. read more

This place was one of my favs back home and I'm glad to have one so close to us here. Very clean and the food is fresh and very good. I hope that it maintains this status for years to come. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the greeting wasn't anywhere near what it felt like back home, cheerful and happy to see you. Instead it was a reminder that "it's Miami" and sadly most places in Miami don't nail it in the welcoming. Aside from that, I would recommend this place. 4/14/19 I'm updating this review to reflect my experience today. Not only was it a rediculous wait for a table but it was insane the wait we had to get our food. read more

I loved that I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I was immediately served water and asked what I would like to drink. I ordered coffee. It was a nice blend. Not too strong. It was easy on my stomach. They had a variety of creamers and sugars on the table. The waiter gave me and my friend plenty of time to order. He was very patient and answered any questions we had. I ordered the farmhouse hash. It comes with potatoes, tomatoes, onions, avocado, cheese, bacon, and 2 eggs any style. It was GOOOD!!! I chose to have my eggs sunny side up. We were able to talk and sit for a bit and talk even as the restaurant started to fill. The staff didnt give us dirty looks like some restaurants do. We really enjoyed and will be back. read more

Cute spot for breakfast. It's good for groups. I had the salmon eggs Benedict for breakfast which was a bit too soggy. It only was annoying when I asked for feta cheese on the salad and they charged me without telling me. The coffee was a bit below average and I didn't feel it. There are nice fresh juices that my friends liked. read more

Good location close to the airport, but boy was I misled by reviews. Would have been nice if I liked this place as we apparently have 5 First Watches back home, but this place was extremely mediocre. I got the seasonal Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict with a salad. There was essentially no dressing on the salad so I was just eating greens. I'm down with minimal dressings, but no dressing isn't my thing. Everything tasted premade. I got the taste of crappy barbacoa, decent but uninspiring hollandaise, and a sauce called "ranchero sauce" which tasted like someone scooped up adobo sauce onto my dish and decided "this is all you will taste." I also don't like their tactics of offering you coffee. I've always hated places that offer you something up front like they're gratis. read more

First watch is one of my favorite staples doesn't matter where you go the food is always delicious and similar. It was to my surprise to find this location located in the run down side of miami, my waffle came crunchy on the outside but the inside was raw when i reached out to the manager Bison he was very rude and unapologetic. How was it my fault you can't prepare food correctly very disappointed. To the point i was scared to order something else because i felt they would do something to my food. read more

Always been a fan of first watch having here before and tried many dishes. This time I tried something new had the watermelon wake up and that was super refreshing and delicious just the right amount of watermelon juice, pineapple, a dash of lime juice, and mint; highly recommend. I ordered the blueberry muffin tops and they were tasty, my recommendation is order that to share with someone else because it is a lot of food, nice touch with the granola on top would've wanted a bit of whipped cream to kind of blend all the flavors together. My friend ordered the Barbacoa quesadillas those were pretty tasty but she said that the flavor of the Barbacoa over-powered the eggs Benedict. Not pictured here but I ordered the omelette with bacon and Gruyere cheese and avocado on top it was spectacular kind of put together per Nicole's recommendation highly recommend sitting in her section she was very sweet and knowledgeable. Love first watch for its quick turnout of food and came obviously during the week when it's not super busy otherwise make sure you come put your name down take a walk and come back because wait time is usually about an hour on weekends. Almost forgot my sister ordered Belgian waffles and there wasn't a morsel left on her plate, she loved them. Will be back! read more

Looking for a breakfast/lunch place, First Watch might be your answer. Eggs, waffles, sandwiches, soups, pancakes... everything is here...! I guess they would serve breakfast ALL day... great points! Had some eggs and pancakes. Nothing out of the extraordinary but ok. Banana Crunchy Pancakes.... yeah... a bit different but not fluffy pancakes. Friendly service, nice ambiance, hustle bustle, people get in and get out.... good for groups! read more

I had to return the iced coffee as it was extremely too sweet. Ordered the cold brew instead. My husband tried a ginger juice mix, he said it was very good. But honestly the carnitas breakfast burrito makes for a memorable brunch. It was great! I hope they add it to the permanent menu. There is ample parking up front, but they are usually packed so get ready to wait to get a table. read more

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

I really like going to First Watch whenever I get a chance. This location totally missed the mark. Not a long wait on a late Saturday morning, however, the service left much to be desired. First, our waiter was nice, however, he was so slow. Maybe he had too many tables?! We were able to place our order and everything came out 1 at a time, which is so aggravating. We were a party of 4, so that tells you all you need to know. Once we got ALL of our food, it was really good. Also, we were never offered any water or refills on our drinks. So, yeah, highly doubt I will return to this location. read more

The waitress needed to give food service more of a priority. We asked the waitress for a cleaner fork as she brought our food because it was dirty. Instead of bringing a new set right back she decided to take another customers order, letting our food get cold before bringing back a new set of silverware. The food was good, but overpriced for what you get. Overall it was a mediocre experience. read more

Solid restaurant. We waited for about 30 minutes to get in here, but it was worth it. Nothing that needs to be nationally televised, but solid! One thing is they turn over tables fairly quickly and we sat in a booth and it really wasn't all the way clean. There was still food under the table and the seats needed to be wiped down some more. I would definitely have your bus boys double check those items. Greeted within two minutes of sitting down at the table. I was there were two other people and we decided to order all different things so we could try them. Everything was pretty good. We ordered chocolate chip pancakes, the shrimp and grits, and omelette, a breakfast sandwich and the bacon. I don't have one that I highly recommend but each of them are good. read more

Okay, I'm not sure how people haven't heard of this location, but I've never liked first watch as much as I do in Miami. First and foremost the service here is phenomenal. always responsive and attentive. I usually visit three to four times per month since the food is so delicious. Everything is cooked so perfectly and always tastes incredible. I often order whatever is on their monthly special menu, but if you're not interested in anything there, I recommend trying the chickichanga since the sauce just transforms it. The French toast with tropical ingredients is great and the lemon ricotta pancakes are flame. The kaletonic is the best beverage to try, and the morning meditation makes you want another. read more

First Watch - Tangerine dream - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Miami, Florida

I was on vacation and heard a lot of good things about First Watch from my friend. So I found this location and decided to stop in. The good parts; there is a decent sized parking lot, the restaurant is also a good size on the inside which is a little hard to tell when standing outside from certain angles and they have a good sized menu with a lot of different options to choose from. There was a 15 minute wait, that ended being like 5 minutes for one person as long as I sat the table with others. So I choose to sit with 4 other people. I sat down and was quickly greeted with by my server. She took my order and left. Everything was good up until this point. Talked with the other people at the table and had great conversations. However, it took about 45 minutes or so before my food came. I had to remind the server that I didn't get my food yet, especially since everyone at the table had gotten there food while I sat there and we talked and were almost done. It took an additional 5-6 minutes before it came. Now the food was good, I had the Tri-Fecta with sausage and bacon. Everything came correctly and my server was friendly and nice. But the two reasons this wasn't a 5-star experience was the wait time of about 50 minutes before I ate and the bacon was very salty. Other than that everything else was excellent. I went to pay the cashier was nice and friendly as well. Tipped on the card and gave her some cash in my pocket as well because she was good and patient since this was my first time. If they could work on the wait times, the saltiness of certain food items and the breakdown between kitchen and server than this would be a 5-star review for sure. I would go back still, just would need to expect longer wait times when I go. read more

I enjoyed how the tables were not cramped next to each other like other joints now. read more

It's always an incredible experience when I come here. Servers are nice and the food is very honest. You get exactly what you order, perhaps even way more than you expect for a very good price. Their menu while huge and filled with many many choices, is somehow well arranged and designed with great aesthetics that feel comforting to the eyes and adds much character to the whole experience, and the menu item names are creative and fun. They focus on the farm-style and environmentally-conscious side of things and do a great job at making a point of it. From their inspirational blends of fresh wellness juices, to the vitamin wellness shots you can add to them for .99¢ more, one can defiantly recharge the next day after a long night of partying in Miami. Located at the "Aiport Plaza" right on the South side of Miami Intl Airport, it is close to many Airport Hotels, and surrounded by some of "the most Miami" neighborhoods of the are like Blue Lagoon, Doral, Coral Gables, and West Miami. You will never have a bad time here, and there is no breakfast like First Watch around! read more

While I do love First Watch daytime cafe and its healthy-ish breakfast/brunch, this location has changed recently. The food takes much longer to come out.. about 40-45 minutes after ordering and it's not like it was jam packed in here. Not sure what the holdup is. Also, most of the servers look newer and unrecognizable. Also, I finally got to try their Acai Bowl from their Seasonal Menu. It has plenty of fruits, but the Acai was way too sweet. However, I did like the toast with almond butter. read more
