First Watch- Is kind of a preppy place with attempts on fancy/ different breakfast. Food would be average , as well as service. I go for more traditional breakfast, so this place is really not for me. read more

Absolutely terrible takeout service. Over half of my order was missing. Over twenty attempts to call the restaurant about it, and no one answers the phone. Buyer beware. I'm out a lot of money due to their incompetence. read more

Came here for brunch with my girlfriend today. I've been to first watch in short pump and their food is pretty good. I ordered the million dollar bacon for myself because my girlfriend is a pescatarian and for the main course she ordered the salmon eggs Benedict and I ordered the chickichanga. The bacon came out really quickly and tasted good but the food took a little while to come out, nothing crazy though. When we finally got our food, the waiter told us that one of the cooks dropped my girlfriends eggs Benedict and so our entire meal is on the house. We would have been totally fine if the waiter just apologized for the delay, but they went above and beyond for us and we really appreciated that. The food tasted and looked great! I definitely recommend this place not only for the food, but the exceptional customer service. Bravo to the GM, front of house, and back of house staff. read more

Waited 10 minutes after getting seated and not one server acknowledged we were there. Went to tazza instead.

Good breakfast place. Saturday's and Sunday's are crowded. Best to get there before 10am. We had a 20 minute wait, but were seated in half the time. While you wait, there is complimentary coffee, which was nice. There were booths and as well as regular tables. Our table was near the back. The restaurant was quite loud, so don't expect to have deep conversations. Our server was prompt and friendly, service was fast and the food was good. The menu is pretty large, as they have a good selection of break foods. The coffee was hot and good, but could have been stronger. Overall, a very good breakfast place. read more

We use to come to First Watch frequently pre Covid and never had a bad experience. When they first opened they had a chicken garlic hash that's was my favorite so quite disappointed when they did. Today o had the special with the Mexican street corn. I added Cajan Chicken to my meal. 5 dish. It was so flavorful. I throughly enjoyed the blend of flavors. The crema put it over the top! My daughter had the Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos. She is a self professed Mexican food lover and gave these tacos a 5 of 10. The meat was not seasoned well at all. She was disappointed. My hubby had the traditional breakfast. He was pleased with his meal. Service was very slow. Our Million Dollar Bacon was so small. I was disappointed because they used to be big pieces of bacon and not the regular size bacon. Overall still a fan. I'll be back read more

Food is consistently good, enjoy the juices as well. Service is okay and was better than usual when we went by today. The place is always hopping so the staff stays busy. Overall a decent breakfast/brunch that we come back to time and time again for a brunch menu with variety. read more

Very clean & casual restaurant with indoor & outdoor seating. Ample parking. Many novel choices that are delicious. Unfortunately, our server (Angel) took over 10 minutes to first visit our table and my "Works" omelet was lukewarm, not hot. read more

We got the poached eggs and salmon special, salmon frittata, and rainbow toast. The food was all good. One poached egg was over cooked. The rainbow toast was great but I would have preferred matching fruit compotes underneath the fruit as it was not very sweet or glazed over it. Otherwise we enjoyed the food. We sat at the community table to avoid the 30 minute wait. Food waits were still 40-60 minutes. We were a little confused if the sever came to us or we had to ask for them being at the community table. We finally got water and ordered. Service was okay. We got put in time for our movie only because we were lucky enough to grab a seat at the community table. Tips: The community table is first come, first serve.Go on Yelp or the restaurant app to get ahead on the waitlist. read more

My bestie and I went to First Watch to get some Sunday brunch. There was wait but with the app through Yelp it will alert you when your table is ready. We waited around 17 min before we were seated. We got a table outside under the umbrella. The weather was great. Inoreder the breakfast tacos and the kale drink which consist of kale, Fuji apple, cucumber and lemon if I'm not mistaken. It's great for the kale lovers. It doesn't take like kale, it tastes great and refreshing. My bestie ordered the summer splash. Egg scrambler with fruit and a multigrain pancake Oh yeah, I did later order the Million dollar bacon, it has some maple syrup like drippings on it. I though it was tasty. I would go back to First Watch again. read more

First Watch adds their unique spin to favorite breakfast/brunch dishes and they DO NOT MISS! Every time I've eaten here (3x so far), the food is delicious. The kale tonic is mandatory at this point (ordered with my last two orders). I'm an irregular green juice drinker and this is sweet yet light. The BLTE was perfectly paired with the tomato soup. So yummy. Will reorder in the future. read more

I waited 30-35 min for 2 eggs and 2 biscuits covered in turkey sausage gravy with a side of diced potatoes (I ordered biscuit and turkey sausage gravy)...and it was not worth. The line was way too long for mediocre brunch. The atmosphere was horrible! The place was too packed. My friend was getting pushed around in her chair from the servers walking past her with plates of food. read more

I was very disappointed with my experience in Midlothian, at First Watch. I was given a 45 minute wait for a table of two, which was understandable for a Saturday morning, so I headed back out to the car to wait. I do find it necessary to note, that the weather was mild this morning. While they did have outdoor seating, I was not asked if I wanted to sit outside. No one was sitting outdoors, so I thought it might be closed. After waiting 45 minutes, I walked back to the restaurant noticing one man and his dog now sitting in the outdoor area. I checked in with the hostess only to be told that there were still 7 people ahead of me. I asked if they had a way to notify those waiting on the list that the wait would be extended. She didn't seem to know and stated , "I just work here." I'd think working there would mean you'd be part of the solution to the problem. Instead, her way of trying to make me feel better was to tell me someone else had waited 84 minutes. Another gentleman began to question where his take out food was. It truly appeared that the business wasn't being run well. read more

This is becoming my favorite brunch spot, I love the ambiance and the service is really wonder. The million dollar bacon is the best thing since slice bread. The only thing I would change is the way you pay. You have to stand on a long line to pay and that can take a while. read more

I really like coming here for breakfast. The food is really good and I love that it's fresh. It's usually pretty crowded. Today I had to send my pancakes back because they were burnt. I hope this does not happen again. The lease advise your servers to look and not serve food that is obviously burnt. Changes were made and all is good. All good. read more

Really surprised to see this level of culinary innovation at a chain restaurant! We had plenty of time to soak in the ambience before our server brought an eggs Benedict unlike any I've ever had -- the chill of the hollandaise really spotlighted the lemon, and the hard-boiled eggs were a stunning touch. The noteworthy failure of any member of the staff to ask how I'd enjoyed my meal added a retro, punk rock element to the experience. FIVE STARS. read more

Delicious and affordable with great service! Thanks Stone! I'm not big on eggs, but the mushroom frittata with arugula served with the million dollar bacon was divine! read more

Nope on service, food etc. First watch is a rip off. Hopefully some more breakfast places open up.

We love this place. The staff is very friendly and the portions are substantial. My husbands new favorite is the shrimp and grits. They move the tables quickly so even when it's crowded there isn't a huge wait. It's our go to for weekday breakfast. read more

Loved being able to order a bulk family breakfast! Eggs. Bacon. Toast. Even after driving it back to our location, the food was still warm and really good! I love their healthy options and fresh juice! read more

Our experience was horrible. We didn't get water until 10 mins later. Our waitress was unaccommodating. Our glasses were dirty and had something inside and we told her if we could get new cups. We weren't nasty about it, but simply asked "is it possible if we can get new glasses". She lifts the glasses and says "it's not dirty, they're just fingerprints." Mmmm I'm sure we wouldn't have asked for new cups because of fingerprints... She could've simply said, I apologize for that- I'll make sure to get you new glasses. Or something along those lines. I got the 2 for you or something like that. The sandwich (Monterey Club) wasn't anything special. The bread was supposed to be sour dough, but didn't taste like it, at all. I also got the soup of the day which was some kind of chicken and rice, but it was a creamy type which I'm not a big fan of creamy soup. The guy that brought our food said here's your salad and sandwich, but there was soup so I totally forgot about the 2 for you and asked our waitress where the salad was. She stated "you got the 2 for you" in a condescending way while holding her fingers up with the number two... not too sure how I felt about that. Overall, I'll never come back to this location. I'm not sure if she had a bad day or an off day, but it's still unacceptable. read more

Looking for a decent, non-fastfood/non-chain restaurant breakfast in Midlothian and was delighted to come across First Watch. Great location and the Waitlist option on Yelp is the best tool ever. Avoided any wait when we arrived. Modern farmhouse furnishing and atmosphere. The menu was extensive and specials were quite interesting. We opted for the regular menu options. I had the breakfast tacos. Three yummy chicken, chorizo, egg, avocado and cheese tacos with side of seasoned black beans. Husband had The Works omelet. The portions were perfect for us; we came hungry! Customer service was great. Waitress was very attentive. We will return soon. read more

It was pretty good. It would probably warrant 4 stars if it was priced a little better. Staff was friendly. They do well to accommodate allergies and picky eaters. They have several options and seem to promote to the typical "local, cage free, free range" buzzword type crowd. I'd still rather have Cracker Barrel. Their chia pudding is good, I'd come back for that. read more

My husband and I have been waiting with excited anticipation for the opening of First Watch. We gave it a couple weeks before stopping in for breakfast at 9 AM on a Sunday. It being so new meant there was A LOT of people there. Luckily they have a digital waitlist which texts you when your table it ready (it's tied to Yelp so you can actually add your name on your drive in!). We were quoted a 35-45 minute wait but it was MUCH shorter. We were greeted shortly after being seated by our server Alyssa. She immediately offered coffee which is a smart strategy however we declined opting for fresh juice. I had the "Morning Meditation" while my husband had the "Wakeup Call." I loved my beverage and my husband was jealous as he preferred mine to his own. As for our food choices, the menu is extensive! There is easily something for everyone. I had the Banana Granola Crunch Multigrain Pancake. Only ordered one after seeing how HUGE they are. I was surprised to see craisins as they weren't mentioned in the menu description however I really enjoyed them. We split the Million Dollar Bacon which was cooked perfectly. I left very full and content. My husband had the Bacado omelet. His potatoes were amazing! The toast and jam were a nice compliment to his meal. He really enjoyed his food and was full when finished (something that rarely happens!) The service is still a bit scattered - our server forgot to bring water to the table until I requested it. The host/cashier system is a little wonky due to the large volume of people. However I think with time and experience these little kinks will be worked out. We will definitely be returning to try the other amazing looking options! read more

A few service stumbles, which I expect with any new restaurant, but otherwise the place will do well for itself, I think. Seriously, though, if your modus operandi is to be so attentive you literally open the door for every one of your customers coming in, maybe remove the side I asked you to leave off my plate before handing it over instead of just setting it down and apologizing that you didn't have a chance. Also please do not bring me the tab when I am not even a third of the way done with my omelette. You can say 'no rush' all you want, but I -will- feel like you want me to get out. That said, the coffee is eminently drinkable and comes in a carafe from which I can pour my own refills, which is nice, the creamer is in a bowl on the table so I never run out, and my omelette was pretty darn tasty. Trouble is, I can make pretty darn tasty omelettes at home that cost less and I'm not especially -excited- about things. All the same, the concept is solid and well-suited to the area and it's nice to have more breakfast spots. I will come back and weigh that fourth star against the promise of the ricotta pancakes, I hear they're brilliant, and until then, I will be gentle, because you just opened. read more

This is not IHOP or Denny's so make sure you ready to spend big for breakfast. Everything is good. Service was great. Can be kinda crowded on Sunday afternoons. I forget the name but that purple drink is amazing!!! read more

I really want to shout out the server, Julliann! She was so respectful and polite. She also knew to clear the table of items we were not using (have not had this level of service from anyone in a while anywhere!). She was expedient and ensuring we had everything we needed. Her personality was so warm and inviting. I wish I could clone her and make all waiters this way. As for the food, the presentation is wonderful! It not only taste good, it looks pretty on your plate. The drinks are pretty, too! I enjoyed just looking across the restaurant at all the different color beverages everyone had. Prices - reasonable. Definitely a cool spot if you're in the mood for breakfast food. read more

I've been here a few times, and this place never disappoints. Great Breakfast spot to visit. I had the blueberry Pancakes, and million dollar bacon. They warn you on the menu about the size of the Pancakes, and they're not lying - They're huge. I didn't take heed, and had to take some home. The million dollar bacon was very tasty and flavorful. Our waitress Lori was AWESOME... One of the best waitress you'll run into with her cheery, positive energy. Bonus tip - they're on the no wait app if your going on weekends. read more

Joined a friend the other day for lunch and we both ordered the lunch combo were you pick two from an assortment of soups, salads and sandwiches. For under $8.00 a great deal. I loved my chicken avocado chop salad. The dressing was addicting and the tomato bisque soup was tasty too! My friend really liked the kale salad with veggie sandwich. Service was excellent. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star review is the noise level.... Hint... They stay really busy so check the yelp app to see if there is a wait when you plan to go and get on the waiting list before you arrive! read more

Food is pretty reliable. Service is a bit perfunctory. Some cleanliness issues with flatware experienced from a few visits. It's an expensive place for higher-end diner fare. If you like this chain elsewhere, you'll like it here. It's often also quite busy so expect a wait to be seated. read more
