My first time at this place, and I had a good experience! The service was excellent, and my server was super nice. The food was okay, but in my opinion, the biscuits were a little too heavy on carbs. I would recommend adding another protein to this plate. The Chickichanga was my favorite it was DELICIOUS!!! And the potatoes on both plates were on point The atmosphere was really nice too, a great spot to talk, hang out, and share with othe. read more

We love First Watch for a slightly nicer brunch! Very Chip and Joanna Gaines vibes in the best way. It's a little more upscale than your typical diner brunch with classic favorites but also an elevated menu with a delicious eggs Benedict and avocado toast. I love their giant muffins as a tasty add on!! They also do awesome juices with vitamin boosts, the one thing missing here is that they do not have an espresso bar so no lattes, which is a bummer for us. They have an online waitlist that I recommend joining because they get busy on the weekends! read more

Went to First Watch Naperville for brunch with a friend visiting from out of town. The food was tasty, portions were just right, and service was friendly. The place has a nice, casual vibe and is great for catching up over the labor day weekend. the wait time was not at all longer. Overall, a good spot I'd come back to! read more

Service is great and food is fresh! The atmosphere is farm decor and spacious. The dining area is comfortable.

Saturday morning @ 7 am. Pretty empty. Seated immediately. Ordered coffee, a powerwrap, and steel cut oatmeal. Coffee was served in a carafe, and left on table. Love when a restaurant does this. Coffee was excellent. Variety of creamers on table. Food came quickly, and was served hot. Beautiful presentation. Wrap and oatmeal were both great. Service was very good. We will return. read more

It's a beautiful farm theme brunch place. It's located in the Amazon fresh market. I love their menu. Healthy style brunch. I had their banana crunch pancake and their bacon egg BLT. I felt it was more of an egg sandwich. It was really good time with my mom. I would recommend this brunch place if you're looking for an American healthy brunch place. read more

First Watch - Their BLT with egg sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Great food, great service but the parking situation is an absolute nightmare. Finding parking in downtown Naperville is easier. All the restaurants at Block 59 are not even open yet and the parking lot is a nightmare. Probably will not return simply because of the parking lot. read more

I am disappointed with this First Watch!! First of all I ordered an Elevated Egg Sandwich w potatoes-- that were ice cold and old as well not fresh as advertised and million dollar bacon. It came with OLD BACON probably from earlier in the morning and reheated . Looked disgusting! This was on my sandwich. The Sandwich should come with Mayo and there was none. They got the gluten free bread right, and the sliced avocados as well as the arugula with no dressing to accommodate my allergies. Then there was the side of million dollar bacon that should have been on my sandwich. The waiter Jose was cleaning the dining room and did not wash his hands before returning to the kitchen and getting my food. He did offer to take my meal back but I didn't have time for that. I took off the old bacon and replaced it with the million dollar one, asked for mayo which I added myself. Ate a couple potatoes but left them on the plate. The First Watch restaurant restaurants I have been to have excellent service and excellent food. This is waaaayyy below acceptable. Please speak to your waiter and kitchen staff from Friday March27, 2026 around 2 pm. Ditra H. read more

A party of four went to the location at 12:30pm for brunch. While the location does not take reservations, you can check yourself in on their website to be on a guestlist if needed. When we arrived we sat pretty fast. The crowed kept growing once we sat. We were greeted with our server asking if we would like coffee of any other drink. They offer alcoholic beverages as well. Nice perk of coffee, they will leave you a whole kettle at the table. The food came out pretty fast and we never felt rushed. I ordered the Chickichanga. It was cooked well. The potatoes as a side were delicious and the fruit stole the show. So fresh and sweet. read more

I go here all the time with my family and they're incredibly efficient. We didn't make a reservation and was seated in 15 minutes despite how busy they were. If I had to describe this place in one word it would be efficient. The food comes out quickly and we were able to pay with a QR code from our seating while we were finishing up our drinks. If the holiday menu is still around, I highly recommend the Red Medicine drink. My dish, the Chickichanga is what I always get. My sister, who got the waffles said they have the same aftertaste as Eggo Waffles in a bad way. I loved how open the place was and it didn't get too loud. It felt clean and aesthetically and genuinely despite the rush they have. read more

Nice selection and fair prices for a breakfast place. Super clean and the staff is friendly. Had the healthy turkey egg white omelet, solid portion. Tomatoes were a little "wintery" but that's this time of year. Coffee is excellent and you get a nice carafe to get juiced up. read more

First Watch - Healthy Turkey - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

I've been to various First Watches and have never been let down. First time at this location and I wanted something I hadn't had before. The Elevated Egg Sandwich was a great choice. Bacon, an over-easy cage-free egg, Gruyere cheese, fresh smashed avocado, mayo and lemon-dressed arugula on a brioche bun. The service was prompt but I didn't see my server, Chaun, again after I ordered, until he dropped off the check. They do leave a pot of coffee on your table, but a check to see if everything was good and remove the dirty dishes would be nice, especially when not very busy on a Thursday morning. This location can be tricky getting into and shared parking lots are packed. Inside decor is sharp and there's some counter seating too. read more

Ordered combo - salad and sandwich. Roast beef sandwich grilled -- extremely greasy. Cobb salad? Looked nothing like picture on their website -- mixed greens (should be romaine), avocado bits (supposed to be slices) hard-boiled eggs bits (should be slices) bacon bits (should be larger pieces) tomato bits (should be at least larger diced) chicken (came with a diced up deli-sandwich slice of turkey and minimal bleu cheese crumbles. My friend ordered a bowl of soup and asked for some bread. She got half of an end slice of focaccia (?) -- gave us a good laugh-- and cost $2.50. What a joke. Never again. read more

We tried this location since we were in the area and was not disappointed. The inside of this location is actually really nice. Service was wonderful. The food was very good. Still love the candy bacon. I think this location makes it the best so far. the chicken avocado salad was delicious. The biscuits and gravy were good, but the gravy was a bit too peppery. I would completely come back to this location. read more

Really really bad and rude service. Would not go back, extremely disrespectful. They're not nice and the food is okay, but not good enough to justify the service read more

Busy doesn't always mean great. Food was delicious however the service was not up to par. Maybe it was because they sat me right next to what seemed like the kitchen door. I really did like the food, especially the bacon, but "COME ON" ..... who doesn't just love crispy, extra thick, pork love? read more

We were sat pretty quickly with a short wait due to being busy from the holiday. I got an omelette and changed for egg whites, I enjoyed my meal! Only detracting a star because the server's attitude felt robotic and not authentic, my water wasn't refilled and we weren't engaged other than a breeze-by check in. Good location, nice sized portions with easy parking, would recommend! read more

I took my Godson to First Watch for breakfast this morning. The restaurant is large with tables and booths and also a bar area. They don't take reservations, but you can check in online. Our server greeted us but never introduced herself. As a past server, I think that's important. A coffee pot and water carafe are put at the table, which is nice that you don't have to ask for refills. I chose this restaurant because it is on the Weight Watchers app so I thought I would find a lot of healthy low point options that fit into my plan. Most everything I wanted was more points than I was willing to spend. I get 23 points for the whole day so there were only a couple 8 point options and one 3 point option. The avocado toast on the "healthier side" menu is 12 points, the superfoods bowl is 18, steel cut oats is 8, power wrap is 12. Not very healthy even though it's on the healthy part of the menu as WW points equate to fat, carbs, sugar and calories. I ended up ordering the turkey egg white omelette from the "healthier side" since it was the only breakfast less than 8 points. I had a slice of sourdough bread and fresh fruit on the side instead of potatoes. I was disappointed with the omelette as they used just turkey lunchmeat. Ugh. The sourdough toast I requested as a substitution for the multigrain toast came out as light as if it was pulled out of the bag and placed on the plate. Once I picked it up, though, I could tell it was very lightly toasted. I was not a fan of the omelette for the lunchmeat ingredient or for the very lightly toasted sourdough. My Godson had the best looking Belgian waffle, though. He said it was very good. I probably won't go back to First Watch because of the lack of healthy options that would fit into my plan, but the food looks amazing, especially the egg sandwich and waffles. It's a popular restaurant so I would not not recommend it to you. It's just not for me being on Weight Watchers and eating healthier. read more

We came in for the Kale Tonic and we ended up trying a lot of the drinks! The sangria and pomegranate sunrise(reminded me of a margarita) were great. We sat at the bar and got great service. The decor was nice and they had boards up with different options of things to try there. I definitely want to try the bloody mary next time. read more

I've seen locations of First Watch popping up around the area, but this is the first one I have had the occasion to visit. Early on a Monday morning, there were still a handful of diners coming in! Our waitress balanced things well, giving us time to peruse the menu but not vanishing. Two in the party got the pancakes, and they are HUGE, literally the biggest pancakes I have ever seen. Another friend got the chia seed power bowl, and I ordered the strawberry tres leches french toast, which wasn't nearly as sweet as you might expect but was quite delicious! I cleaned my plate. Don't forget their juice blends: two of us got the Morning Meditation, a blend of orange, ginger, turmeric, lemon and beet: warming, earthy and bright. Be aware that the seasonal juice may be a blend. When we asked about it the waitress said it was watermelon, so my friend's son ordered it...but then when we got the seasonal menu she noticed that it also contained pineapple juice, and he's allergic to that. (Gladly he hadn't drank any yet.) Overall, there are lots of appealing breakfast and brunch options here! read more

A deservedly busy place. Mid morning Saturday completely rammed. We got the beeper and was given an accurate estimate as to when we'd be seated. Nice room! We ordered coffee, teas, frittata omelette, waffles, eggs and hash. All came out in a timely manner. Nice server. Really happy to see the tables spaced well apart for those of us who like a buffer in this time of airborne illness. Much appreciated and it kept the sound level low. No shouted conversations for us! Looking forward to returning. read more

Someone else in my party wanted to go here and with my bad experiences here I did not want to go if you look at my review from before the exact same thing happened with the burnt eggs with the chives, they were arguing that chives are not onions and not in the onion family, which I have an allergy to DUH WRONG They brought them back and they were liquidated. They took my whole plate away so by time I got my food. Everybody else was half done. The waitress was rolling her eyes and I'm just done at this location. It's horrible here! And now I'm looking at all the violations that they had and I'm disgusted I even ate there no cleanup of diarrhea or vomiting events are you serious in their back kitchen? Yum! The waitress can't do anything, but the minute you scooted out of there they run over to see what kind of tip you left them, though I left one on willingly, but people don't deserve 20% when they act this way towards the customer read more

Came here around 9am with a party of 11 for a birthday. Not sure why they have the online waitlist because you have to show up in person to hold your place in line. Still, it was only a 15 min wait. We got seated at a long table and offered coffee and waters right away. The place got more packed around 11 and the service was quick. The price was also good for the big party, but they didn't really do anything for the birthday Belgium waffle - crunchy and fluffy but also a little chewy when it cooled down Breakfast Sanwich - bread was very fluffy and insides were flavorful Farmhouse - this was my favorite. Loved the crunchy salty meat with creamy cheese Lemon Ricotta - pancakes were soft but topping was a little too sweet. Wanted something more tart Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict - light and flavorful with the onions and salad Tacos - juicy and flavorful. Tomato bean mix was good and aalty read more

Pretty standard breakfast place with good quality food. My avocado toast was quite plain, I added a bit of salt and pepper to it but I can definitely make better at home. Also note that it comes with an egg and I ordered a side of bacon for extra. The Floria French toast was really nice, the fruit was fresh and delicious. The service was nice and normal wait time for food. Be advised it gets busy on the weekend and I would reccomend joining the waiting list. Overall nothing to write home about but it was good! read more

A loud, modern place in a great location. There was a tricky corn bread thing with lemon butter available for openers, and it was damned good, perfect with the fine coffee. If Smoked Salmon is on the menu, I'm SO there-and bada-boom, there was a "Smoked Salmon Frittata" en carte which was delicious. The plating was a bit precious, however. A long thin strip of crispy focaccia with wisps of whipped butter was the bread/starch alongside the Frittata on the trendy square plate. There also was a nice portion of spring greens with just the right amount of tangy vinaigrette. A distinctive and non-traditional look for a breakfast plate. I thought at first there wouldn't be enough to sate my appetite, but that wasn't accurate-the mix of things was just enough, and all the elements complimented each other nicely. Wife had Scrambled, Crispy Bacon and Pancake. Pancake as in singular, one large one. The eggs were well done, and could have been creamier. We're not fans of flat-top scrambles. They usually indicate pre-scrambled eggiwegs (sometimes with a modicum of pancake batter added) ladled onto a flat top and folded for service. I dont think these eggs had that additive. We prefer shell eggs done in a skillet. Next time we'll ask if that is available. We ordered a side of breakfast Potatoes which were VERY good-these were NOT the "Million Dollar" special potatoes offered as a side or upgrade, but the regular potatoes. A fine choice and recommended. The bacon was good quality and well-done as ordered. That pancake was more formidable than it looked, and was tasty. Really good unsweetened iced tea rounded out the service. There's a bar for solo diners, and a good range of healthy juice-type thingies. Cheerful, competent service too. read more

First Watch is everything you could want from a new, upper-scale breakfast place. The menu has a little bit of everything, the first being avocado toast of course, and the specials are a nice treat. We went with a Morning Meditation (mixed juice drink) and an A.M. Superfoods Bowl. Both were absolutely excellent and a wonderful, clean start to my day. The juice was just delicious, plain and simple (though I suggest asking them to go easy on the ice), and the bowl was tasty, along with the accompanying bread with peanut butter and salt. There was only one snafu during our visit, our waiter forgot to make/give us the Morning Meditation! Upon pointing it out, when the bill came, he apologized, took it off our tap, AND gave it to us to-go. Now THAT is what I call service! We're all human, mistakes happen, but he corrected it perfectly. All-in, this, along with the friendly service, was a very enjoyable little meal. I left feeling content, full (not stuffed), and not too light in the wallet. Stop in, when you have a chance, and treat yourself. You'll leave full of food and good times. read more

For a chain, it is fresh and reliable. The service is fast. The avocado toast was way too citrusy but the bacon was delicious.
