Restaurant was clean and service was good. Ordered eggs Benedict and the eggs were hard boiled like an Easter egg. Very disappointing, as this would have been an otherwise tasty dish. read more

First Watch - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

We visited First Watch for brunch and had an enjoyable time. My husband ordered the Pesto Chicken quinoa bowl and I ordered the Farmhouse Skillet Hash. We had mimosas to top it all off. Both meals were well-proportioned and came out timely. The bacon was exceptional! Overall, it was a good meal for a fair price. read more

I'm here for a military course for a few weeks, and this is our go to brunch spot! The food choices are great, with a lot of healthy options and breakfast and lunch options all day until they close at 2pm. They have a variety of fresh juices and morning cocktails, including mimosas. And the service is always very nice. Definitely recommend! read more

First Watch - Floridian French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Whenever I would drive by this place the line would be out the door with people gathered outside to wait to get seated. I finally visited and saw what the fuss was about. It's best to go early in the morning when they first open to hear the crowd and have the lost relaxed dining experience. I've been here three times now, and each time I had a great experience dining with my family. The food is consistent in taste and quality and the wait staff is attentive even during busier times. I highly recommend this place. read more

Beautiful location and the food was good. It gave me a southern home vibe. Although the ambiance was nice, we waited about 10 minutes before being seen. I asked for no bacon and they put bacon on my food. However our waiter asked me if I wanted a redo without bacon. I declined because I was hungry so I picked the bacon out. My daughter enjoyed her food and had no issues. My salad and sandwich was delicious. The manager was nice. read more

Very nice restaurant and atmosphere. Everything we had was DELICIOUS. Biscuits and gravy, chorizo omelet, Belgian waffle, pancake, scrambled eggs, sandwich and Cobb salad, million dollar bacon. Everything was fresh and appetizing. I like that the staff worked together to deliver food to tables as it was ready. Host was very helpful and they have an online option where you can get in line to minimize your wait. I can't wait to go back. We don't have this restaurant where I live. . read more

First Watch - Brunch with family - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

If they had mimosas for brunch, I would've given them five stars. I love a place with healthy eats that have tons of flavor. The menu has options for everyone. And there are plenty of them. We were seated as soon as we walked in. The staff wore mask and there was plenty of spacing between customers. I don't recall the servers name, but he was super polite and attentive. He brought me a refill of iced tea before I realized it was gone. The food was fresh and flavorful. I was a bit sad when I looked down and my plate was empty lol. Do yourself a favor and try them out. read more

First Watch - French Toast Farmhouse Skillet Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

First Watch, why do you have to be so good?! MM! Location: The restaurant is located in a lot with lots of other shops and restaurants. While we waited for our table, we explored and visited a plant shop next door. It was nice to kill time in. Parking: Plentiful, so don't get discouraged when you see a line of cars. You may have to walk a bit, but it shouldn't be too bad. Food: Sooooo I got the Ricotta Lemon Pancakes. Oh, Lord. I said that every time I took a bite. Don't be fooled when you see it. It's so deceitful how magical that pancake is. I RARELY finish my food when I go out, but I could've eaten the plate afterward! My friend got the Chimichanga. Another Deeeeelish dish! She liked mine as well, but I gave her her rations. (Arm goes over my plate and I eat without looking up). My other friend got a burger of some kind. I believe she enjoyed it, too. Drinks: We all got the Morning Meditation. That drink is so refreshing! It's a must whenever I go. I'll try another one when I go again next month. Would I recommend? I always do! Will I be back? Yup! If it's not this one, it'll be one in another city or state. I even went to one in Nashville and had a great experience there, too. read more

I had a Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl at Zelda Montgomery. The meal appears unpleasant and contains a disproportionate quantity of liquid. I didn't expect them to provide this meal at such a high price. I generally eat this type of food at the Eastchase location where the presentation and taste are far better. I don't think they did it correctly. read more

Great food, great service (thank you Adrian) and great location. Try their Purple Haze drink- very refreshing!! read more

The food was cold even after they "remade" it. Service was bad and slow, then the manager threw out an elderly woman. He literally opened the door and said get out. She was not yelling or using profanity. It was unbelievable. read more

Chain, but a consistent one. No matter where you go this is a solid brunch spot. Yes it'll be busy on a Sunday. Plan accordingly. Also offers a seasonal menu. Reliable brunch spot. read more

I didn't know this was part of a chain until I stepped inside. I immediately lowered my breakfast expectations because, well, it's a chain. However, the decor was nice, everyone working there was incredibly nice, and my eggs with avocado toast was better than I've had in much more expensive places. If other First Watch locations are even half as good as this one, I'm impressed. read more

Terrible customer service. I showed up at 1pm and was told the wait would be 30 minutes. I gave them my # for them to let me know when my table was ready but I NEVER received a text or call. The person who originally took my name & number was very annoyed and behaved like he didn't want to be there. After waiting 45 minutes, I went back inside and waited for a staff member to greet me, but no staff came over to the podium to update me on my wait time. While I stood there waiting I saw 5+ empty tables. I waited for an hour and a half before walking over to a different restaurant. All they had to do when I first came into the restaurant was tell me "hey we're super busy, the wait might be an hour or more. Do you still want to save a spot" OR call me at the half hour mark and give me an update. Absolutely terrible customer service. read more

First Watch - Wait time - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

I had been wanting to try this place for a while in Birmingham but never made it. Today was the day since the brunch places in Montgomery are limited. I went through Yelp to get on the wait list and that helped out tremendously because there was a 45 minute wait. Once we arrived , we only had to wait about ten minutes. They offer complimentary coffee which is nice. Once we were seated, our server greeted us and took our drink order. He also suggested taking our order at the same time since it was busy. He gave us some great suggestions and was very friendly. We ordered the trifecta with bacon which consisted of eggs, one pancake and bacon and we ordered the works omelette with a carrot and pecan waffle. Our food was very good. The eggs were very fluffy, the bacon wasn't over cooked, the pancakes were the best and I forgot the potatoes were amazing. Our over all experience was a good one. This is a place I will definitely return to. I liked that they offer a wide variety of options for everyone. read more

In my time in Montgomery, I came here a few times on the weekends for breakfast and definitely was not dissappointed either time. I got there right before the rush both times as it was Sunday morning and everyone comes here right after church ends. They change their menu every so often but their seasonal at the time was had steak and hash and a breakfast burrito. The steak and has was definitely my favorite. They also have donut holes as an appetizer and their bacon that is good to share if you have a table of people. Their drinks are always great too. If you're in the area for training at Maxwell, come here for breakfast. They also have a military discount. read more

I know this is a chain but nothing feels that way inside. Friendliest staff around with amazing food to match. I had the short rib poutine hash, the million dollar bacon and a cinnamon roll. The bacon and the cinnamon roll are both a must try. The short rib poutine was very good but a little salty or at least the cheese curds were. Harder to finish towards the end but good flavors. read more

First, all I would like to take this time to shine a bright light on my waitress Adrian. She was an absolute pleasure to be in the company of. Adrian was very polite, informative, and had an amazing attitude while I was in the restaurant. The food was incredibly amazing. I enjoyed the recommendation that Adrian gave me, which was the chicichanga. The drink you see in the picture was another recommendation by Adrian, simply delicious. Without a doubt, this was my very first time and certainly will not be the last. The overall environment was inviting, welcoming, and yet cozy. First Watch is definitely going to me my go-to for either breakfast or brunch. Simply put, this place is awesome! Now, in closing, when you go request Ms. Adrian, because she is sure to get and make sure you are taken care of. Thank you, First Watch, for an amazing first experience. read more

We were in Montgomery for a short weekend trip and wanted to find a good breakfast joint and I'm so happy we chose this place. The service was immaculate, every person we encountered was very nice and kind. Our waitress recommended the skillet hash and it was well worth the recommendation! All of the food was well seasoned, cooked to perfection, and came out so fast. Not only was the food and service fantastic, but the restaurant was so cutely decorated. read more

I have been in Montgomery, AL for about 5 weeks and this was by far the BEST food i have tasted. Everything was delicious. It is very busy, BUT- the staff does an amazing job in beIng on top of orders. The wait wasn't as bad as expected and from the time we were seated to the time we left our waiter stayed attentive. I was observing them and they kept busy and moving which was probably why everything was smooth. Great food and service. read more
