Came in for brunch. Service was good, got seated and served right away. We ordered the crab and asparagus omelette, Florentine egg Benedict and the Floridian French toast. Everything was good beside the Benedict. The egg was over cooked, the dish was bland and the ciabatta bread just doesn't go with it. read more

While visiting, we needed a place to meet family or breakfast before heading home. I was so disappointed in this place! Our server was great, but it took 45 minutes to get three entrees. And everyone around us also had no food, Miraculously after asking to see a "manager" our food was delivered within minutes. The reason given for the delay was too many to-go orders. What? read more

Amazing food, but I was extremely disappointed to find out they don't serve any alcohol. Ya girl needs a drink to get her Saturday started off right!! read more

Something for everyone. Amazing fresh food. Vegetarian options. Avocado toast. Great friendly servers.

Last day in Montgomery and we wanted to load up before getting back on the road out of town. This used to be The Egg & I and I found good reviews about them. It wasn't too far out of our way so we decided to give it a shot. It was very popular and there was a bit of a wait on a Sunday morning. Lots of options on the menu. I opted for an omelet and pancake. Let me tell you...the food is GREAT. The issue was service. We waited to so long to be met by our server. And a table that came in after us got attended to before us. I was mighty upset. Food took a long time. A couple things were missed and slow to get. *sigh* If they could improve the service, it would be a top notch spot! read more

This is the best place to go when on a diet food is delicious and has the best drinks/smoothies this is a must try

Great little place that serves breakfast all day. When I was trying to decide between the avocado toast and the breakfast sandwich the server immediately said I prefer the avocado toast. I really appreciate that kind of honesty and not just saying everything is great. She definitely steered me in the right direction. The toast was a warm thick slice with chunky avocado on top with two perfect eggs. Make a stop and sit outside. read more

Come here for breakfast but it's 12 o'clock and we're still haven't get food on our table yet. Waited 35 mins outside and another 1 hour 45 mins. if you guys have 2 to 3 hours to wait then this place is recommended read more

Seven of us went to First Watch in Montgomery today. We arrived at 10;50 am, and it was not busy. We were seated after a 15 minute wait. It then took 33 minutes for a server to come over. She took our drink and food order. No silverware Or napkins on the table. Ice Water was ordered with lemon. We were brought 10 oz glasses with no ice no lemon and lukewarm water. We were told the regular size water glasses were being washed, out of ice and lemon. Our food came a few plates at a time. Took 20 minutes longer. We requested forks and knives; we were told they were being washed and it would be a bit. So those of us with food had no way to eat it: it was getting cold, so I asked for mgr. None came. More plates showed up, but still no eating utensils. All food was cold when I went to mgr and complained. One of our group went to her car and got plastic forks. Mgr came over and said, oh we could have got you some. One person never got her food, despite asking 4 times. No napkins were brought and no water refills. I asked for another mgr and the person who I was led to said, you should have told me. I pointed out the mgr I had spoken to. He then told me that this didn't happen there usually. He offered no apology or any assistance. I told him that he'd just lost 8 customers. He shrugged. We won't be back. I emailed corporate office and received NO response. read more

I'm always a fan of First Watch. I can always count on their food being good. I was promptly seated. I also enjoy their healthy options and reasonable prices. The waitress was super helpful in helping me finally decide what to eat. read more

Fantastic food and lovely atmosphere. Great staff, great meal, great price. Try the turkey burger! DELISH! read more

Yum! We love this for breakfast whenever our family visits. Great food...the bacon is amazing. It's child friendly, has a varied menu with just about anything you'd want. Service is friendly and helpful. Go there! read more

Fantastic food! We came here twice during one business trip. The only improvement needed would be their staffing during the Sunday rush. They are definitely overwhelmed and they couldn't bus tables fast enough to get people seated. We also realized since we were waiting outside (not enough room inside) we were passed over for our seat. Just a heads up, stay inside if possible during busy times. Overall, very nice people and wonderful menu. Recommend! read more

The trifecta is heaven and you will love the kale tonic. The many times I have come to this place I have received top of the line service and excellent food. It's a go to spot to celebrate. read more

We always enjoy first watch, the breakfasts here are well prepared with colorful presentation. Benedict any way you want it + great health conscious options. If you have never had million dollar bacon, First Watch has it! Not to mention, but I'll mention, sweet favorites like Chocolate Chip pancakes for the kids!! Keep up the fresh delicious work First Watch! See you next Saturday! read more

Amazing breakfast food and selection. They have an original menu and all of the good tastes very fresh. It certainly stands out from your normal brunch location. read more

My family comes here several times a month. We love the food and the service is always friendly and fast even though they're are usually very busy. Highly recommended! read more

To start with, there were a lot of people waiting in line but the wait is not awful. The girl who supposed to seat us didn't get my husband's name right but we still got our seat in a good timely manner anyway. After we were seated, my husband asked something he read on their website about free coffee(the screenshot as I attached). Turns out it wasn't complimentary but slightly misleading in how they worded it. We still ordered the coffee, eggs Benedict, hash skillet, and Belgian waffle. Even with the busy hour, our food still came pretty fast fortunately. The eggs Benedict has an unexpected tangy taste, and isn't as creamy as other places; bread somewhat dry/hard; really nothing special. The hash skillet, comes with two eggs that you can choose how you like it cooked. I personally like it, mine is with sausage, mushrooms, onions and tomato. The tomato gave a hit of tangy and helped the overall taste as some people aka my husband think it's greasy. It's a filling plate with a small cup of fruits and one slice of multigrain bread. Lastly, Belgian waffle, is good crispy on the outside and soft inside, but not as the thick Belgian waffle we thought it would be. We like it anyway, especially with the strawberry jam. The end of the visit, we got a check and was waiting in a lengthy line to pay. Seemed they were understaffed as the register was empty for some time. Once the person came back, it actually cleared fast. I found out we got a $2 off coupon, I don't know for sure if it came from the long wait or the coffee thing my husband asked about. Anyway, the experience was mediocre, but worth a try! read more

Omg this was the best breakfast, ever very friendly staff. Delicious French toast, would definitely be back.

Great find on Yelp! before heading home from work training. I had the seasonal Truffle Wild Mushroom Frittata and it was delicious!

Pretty good. We moved here right before it changed from the Egg & I, and we never got to try the old restaurant. Ate breakfast here before the church rush on a Sunday morning, as I can imagine the place is probably packed after about 9:30 (we are in the Bible Belt after all). The seasonal specials sounded good, so I tried the Brisket Hash. I really hope they keep it, as it was fantastic. Table coffee and water, but service was still attentive. We'll keep coming unless they give us a reason not to! read more

This place is a great place to get healthy food. I've been here about 3 times in the last 2 weeks and I will be back. The service is great and so is the food. I highly recommend this place for breakfast. I've yet to try their lunch but I'm sure it's good too. read more

First Watch - Eggs Benedicte (Florentine) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Awesome experience!! I visited this restaurant with as a party of 15. They do not do reservations or call ahead seating, but they were able to accommodate us with no problem. The manager, Jason, was very friendly and engaged. Our server was apparently new but did a great job. She was both attentive and efficient. Even other servers helped out where they could. Our food came out quickly and was delicious. My French toast was quite tasty. Everyone left full and happy. read more

The food so far has been great and it also is decorated beautifully. My husband and I have been twice. The portions are quite large and everything is really fresh. If you want a good salad get the warm honey pecan. The French toast is huge and delicious. The coffee is endless and good, but close to $2.50. They don't have much creamer to choose from. One recommendation is not to go on a sunday after 11:30. The wait can be 45 mins and the kitchen takes about a hour to get food out after ordering. My husband and I arrived at 11:35 and we didn't leave till 2:15. read more

One word... AMAZING! The atmosphere and the food alone gives it 5 stars, but the service was mind blowing. I will definitely be back.

Amazing food, a short wait but the service was great. Carrot cake pancake is absolutely my favorite very deilsh but we also had two drinks from the juice bar eggs Benedict and market hash. read more

Overall, this place is amazing. All items are cooked fresh to order. They have an abundance of healthy eating items to choose from. They also have a variety of hearty choices as well. The only thing I would have to complain about would be the particles in the water. But, I would definitely come back! read more

This is my go to spot when going to Montgomery AL. Amazing food and staff. Next I will use the app to get my spot in line. The Lemon Ricotta pancakes are the best!! read more

I wasn't impressed with this location. I regularly go to other First Watches and love the chain. This place did not have cream for coffee and the chia seed superfoods bowl came out thicker than toothpaste. Lastly, the service was pretty lacking too. read more

Food was very delicious, service could be a bit more attentive, had to ask for cream for my coffee and for water refills but would definitely go back! read more

Really liking!!! The vibe, the fresh food and the innovative dishes. Wish they had this chain where I live..

We went for the first time a few weeks ago and it was delicious. The wait wasn't a problem on Sat but when we returned on Sun it was too long to enjoy the food again that weekend. It has a lot of food choices you're not going to find anywhere else in Montgomery for the quality. With that being said, be prepared that a breakfast for two will run you about $30. read more

This place is really good for breakfast/brunch. Frittatas, Eggs Benedicts and Tomato Basil is my favorite.

There's a big part of me that wants to give 1 star bc I am so disappointed. I however am going to try to base my review as if I've never eaten at a First Watch before. I am from Chattanooga Tn and First Watch is in our top 5 places to eat. It is phenomenal...in Chattanooga! We were traveling home from Florida and stayed in Montgomery to cut our trip shorter and when I got up this morning, searched on yelp for close by places for breakfast and was ecstatic there was a First Watch. Without hesitation heard that way. Here's my experience: Upon entering the building, there's no host, only a hosts stand.. we don't care about that until we continued to wait for 5-7 minutes before a server came to seat us. She wasn't rude, but wasn't friendly either. Just blah.. "Two??..." grabs menus, walks us to a table and says she will be with us in a minute. She didn't offer coffee or any beverages. There's 3 occupied tables in the building, it's 9:45 am yet the team doesn't seem set up. We wait quite a while and she comes back and ask if we want coffee, we say yes and she starts to walk away and I say, "we'd like to go ahead and order please." She seemed annoyed, but turned back to us and said in a drawn out "oooohkay.." I ordered the avocado toast with a slice of gruyere cheese, side of bacon. Her entire demeanor while taking our order was a demeanor of annoyance, like we were bothering her. She treated me like my order was complicated. Have you not ever heard of upsale??? The higher your ticket price is (especially when a dang piece of cheese is 1.49, and bacon is 4.00+!!!!) the higher your tip is! But I guess when you're obviously annoyed serving your guest the ticket and tip amount just isn't a concern, right?? Anyways, she seemed annoyed with the ordering of cheese, asking me where I wanted the cheese and wanted to "explain to me how it comes.." I replied, I know how it comes, I eat it nearly once a week.. I told her I wanted the cheese melted on the eggs, "well how do you want your eggs?? Basted?" I replied, over medium please. I don't eat the bread, I just eat the avocado, eggs, cheese and bacon. When my meal came the cheese was melted on the bread, topped with the avocado. I'm very easy so I didn't say anything and peeled the cold (bc when you add cold avocado to hot cheese it doesn't make it melted cheese anymore‍) cheese off of the bread and placed the slices on my hot eggs hoping it would remelt it some. It didn't. The meal was delicious, even with the not melted cheese... same yummy coffee.. oh let's get to that part... when we sat down and she brought our coffee, there was no other creamer available but hazelnut, and there was no silverware rolled so we didn't have a spoon. We didn't see our server anywhere so I got up and robbed other tables of their creamers and tried to find a spoon, to no avail. I finally saw another server bring out a handful of rolled silverware and placed at the host stand, I got up and went and got silverware. Our server only returned once to ask if we wanted coffee to go (thank you, that was appreciated!) she then returned with to go cups and our check. The food was spot on and delicious. Our service experience was beyond lacking. I feel at 9:45 on a Monday morning with very few quest, it shouldn't be hard to hit customer service! I personally couldn't care less if my food was awful and they completely screwed everything up if my server was nice... finding staff that offers that should be key! read more

Thank you First Watch for bringing a great breakfast/brunch option to cities that don't have many options like Montgomery. I've also been to the one in Pensacola,FL where there are plenty of options but still has a strong menu to compete with. I really like the Floridian French Toast and the eggs and bacon are expertly cooked. The Benedict's are pretty good too. read more
