I enjoyed the atmosphere inside and the hospitality of the staff. Food was good in general but I wish the salmon in the Eff Benedict was a bit less salty. Million Dollar Bacon with syrup was amazing and it was a seasonal item for holidays. Ham and Gruyère melt was ok. read more

I didn't realize that there was a First Watch right near my appointment in Green Hills. I had a lovely breakfast cos it's a First Watch and there's no way anyone can have a bad experience there. I tried a new menu item the Carne Asada which would have been great if it hadn't been so extremely salty that I couldn't eat but 2 bites of it. Whenever I'm at a First Watch, the 2 drinks I absolutely love are the Cereal Toast and the Lavender Pea Flower and I probably shouldn't have had a drink before my appointment but they're not too strong so I didn't feel too guilty. The Waffle was absolutely perfect....I need to return to have another 1/2 waffle soon.... read more

Immediately greeted by Mia our waitress who was THE BEST! Food was brought out fast. Bloody Mary's were great and the breakfasts were amazing . The place was super clean as were the restrooms. Great place. Great food and Mia was awesome! read more

Always busy and standard quick service breakfast food with good service. Clean environment.

Sat for 30 minutes and still no drinks. When we ordered we said we were in a hurry but I guess that meant nothing. We got up and left. We didn't even get water delivered to our table. I guess rich kids don't know how to be waiters. No hustle read more

First of all, the warm attitude of the entire staff was so fresh and appreciated. I had breakfast during the ice storm when power was out for so many people, however the staff was so upbeat and that added so much to my day. My server helped me find what I wanted on the menu as the basic breakfast was hidden in the upper right hand corner of the menu. The food and presentation were both top notch. I asked for De-Caff and I was happily accommodated. I will return, especially if the staff will keep up its lovely attitude. read more

Just moved to the apartments nearby and was looking forward to enjoying my first visit to this FW. 6-8 empty tables, all piled high w dirty dishes and uneaten food. Zero effort visible to clean. Assistant Hostess is confused, what to do?! I suggested she clean a table, imagine that novel idea. Told the main hostess that the place was a pig sty and left. Your mileage may vary. read more

Hubby and I went in for breakfast this morning. Not busy, perfect timing! Food was delightful! Thank you for your amazing customer service and attention to detail Debbie! As veterans, it is always nice when restaurants offer military discounts! We will back! read more

I have been here for over an hour and still do not have my food. I sat for over 10 minutes before I was even approached by a waiter. An hour into this experience, my food was finally brought and the order was wrong. They are taking care of the bill but I'm still waiting for food. No one returned go check and see if the food was OK or refill my drink. read more

I don't have a First Watch in my state so I have learned to find one when I travel. This chia pudding meal is amazing and now I can't stop making chia pudding when I get home. I haven't quite gotten it just like the Fist Watch chia, but it's a delicious and nutritious journey to that perfection. read more

First Watch - AM Superfood bowl! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Doesn't look like much when you're outside of the restaurant but it's super cute once you walk inside. We had about a 20-30 minute wait which wasn't too bad. Our waitress was very friendly and extremely patient. I was brunchin with a coworker I hadn't seen since March 2020. First watch is perfect for a small and/or large party. We had the pumpkin spiced donuts which were soo good! I would highly recommend and I'm not a huge pumpkin fan. I had the chickchanga which was very delicious. It says it's spicy on the menu, as a lover for spicy... it is not so I did added chalulua for spice. My friend ordered the breakfast tacos and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Would totally recommend. read more

I am a big fan of First Watch, they consistently serve solid, elevated, fresh breakfast and lunch food. It's very beautiful and rustic inside. However, during my last visit service was very lackluster. It didn't seem very busy, but I hardly saw my server and felt like I was waiting for long periods of time without seeing her, while other tables were seeing their servers more frequently. I'll still be back, because this is a great restaurant to be at! read more

Super easy to work with for go orders! Can't say I've eaten there in person, but my work is close and I order to-go on the (semi) regular. Customer service on the phone is great. Kind and quick. Food is tasty and always prepared to order and fresh. My personal fave is the chicken avocado chop salad! But the salad with pecans is super awesome as well. My boss raves on the power bowl with pesto. Location is okay, not my fave, but convenient for my work needs for now. Parking lot can be tricky... but if you circle 3 or 4 times, you generally find a spot. read more

BRE YOURE SO AWESOME!!! Exemplary service from our waitress bre. She was so very nice and considerate to our less fortunate friend. First watch, promote her!!! read more

I eat here quite regularly, almost weekly, because I work nearby. I usually sit at the bar. The food is good, but the service has definitely been sliding week after week lately. Earlier this week, I sat for 15 minutes at the bar before anyone came out. Thenwhen I went to pay, same thing standing at the register with no one around. Today, I was at the bar 15 minutes before anyone came out. Took another 15-20 minutes to get my order (a salad) The entire time I was at the bar, I was the only person at the bar, and none of the other dishes that were there when I sat down ever got cleared. It will probably be while before I come back. read more

Had a great breakfast this am with friends. Even with the heat, we were able to sit outside on the covered shady patio. Even had a little breeze. The food was good, but the service was the best. Thanks to Eddie for taking such good care of us. And when we went to pay loved the the humor in this sign on one of two credit card readers. Hope it gets its caffeine. :) read more

First Watch - Great sense of humor. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We were seated when the restaurant wasn't too busy. After a 15-minute wait at the table without any acknowledgement of us, my wife prompted them and 5 minutes later we still were not given any service. So, we got up and left and went around the corner to Peach's Creperie. Food options here looked very decent, but if you are not served it's hard to know if they are good or not! read more

Brooke Wilson, bartender, gave incredible service--so attentive and super helpful with the menu! I was in a crunch and rushing, but she was spot on with her recommendations and service. The restaurant has amazing food in general and is just an awesome place to go! read more

Excellent food, great service and lovely ambiance makes First Watch a good choice for brunch.

I ordered the avocado toast and the seasonal Golden Glow pineapple fresh squeezed juice to-go this morning. It wasn't pretty, but it hit the spot. The juice had a good amount of turmeric. No one was there to greet me and it seemed like they were a bit understaffed. Perhaps if we can get everyone off of unemployment they can find some more help! read more

The food: Quite great, and amazing for its price. The fries and the wings are something to behold. The service: Always fast and the waiters and waitresses have become friends to those who visit often. All in all the main reason I eat here. The Ambiance: From jaunting traditional Irish music, live on Wednesdays, to classic rock, you can always expect a cheery mood in this emalgamation of Irish tradition and American culture read more

I took some family from out of town here on a Wednesday morning and luckily our group of 5 had no wait. However, the service was pretty slow. It took forever to get our drinks and longer than reasonable for our food to finally arrive. Our waiter was a bit socially awkward and not very attentive but the food was good! I got the avocado toast with egg whites. The eggs where super fluffy and the toast was flavorful and filling. We also ordered the "million dollar bacon" special for the table which *spoiler alert* is their normal bacon drizzled with maple syrup. read more

First Watch - They leave you with a whole pot of coffee, such a clutch move. Instantly fell in love with the place. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We usually eat at the Franklin location but we were nearby and stopped in. The service was very slow. Food came out at separate times and was cold by the time the last person received theirs. Will stick to other locations. read more

Friends favorite breakfast place so I had a bit of time and decided to try it. For her, it is five star all the way. I am not sure I am fully on board. I had the avocado toast and the million dollar bacon, because who doesn't want as million dollar meal. The toast was good and I love avocado, but it is pretty much just avocado smashed on bread with a lemon (I have had some with cilantro and propellants with the egg on top. Yum. The eggs were as little overdone for that style. The million dollar bacon is interesting, but I thought it would be a bit more than just sticking over (I do bacon soaked in syrup that is awesome). Coffee is a nice blend, which was a definite plus. And the pancake options sounded great, making me wonder if I would say better than average of I had them (was in a savory mood). Service was good and the place is open and clean, which is a good thing. The price point is a little higher than some ($20 for avocado toast, eggs, bacon and coffee), but not too far out of range (unless you consider wakey house a proper option), but the breakfast was not as "special" as others in this price range. It was good, but didn't knock my socks off. Would I try again? Yes, especially if I was with my friend who loves it. But I can think of other breakfast places in Nashville I would choose first. read more

Ordered Million dollar potatoes got million dollar bacon. Both cost 6 dollars for a side portion which is to much. Needed a water glass instead waitress combatted me on why I needed that. Barely saw waitress. In the end this a really bad experience. read more

Good. I wanted brunch food and hubs wanted lunch. Arrived at 11:00. No wait. Large variety on the menu. Quick service and reasonable prices.

I was looking for a place for brunch and my friend chose this place since we hadn't been there before. My thoughts? Food 5/5: Flavor and quality of the food was exceptional. They have lots healthy options on the menu. I ordered the smoked salmon and roasted vegetable frittata. Also got cup of coffee. A classic frittata with Wild Alaska Smoked Sockeye Salmon, house-roasted shallots and tomatoes topped with Parmesan cheese, a chive cream drizzle and fresh herbs. Served with ciabatta toast. Wow, this meal was delicious and the coffee was bold but not bitter...just the way I like it haha. Service and Setting, 5/5: the place is nice and spacious. The waiter was very friendly. Presentation 2/5: cleanliness was a big downside. My glass had pink lipstick stains on it and my friend's glass had dirty stains as well. We requested new glassware and were given new glasses with stains still (might be water stains?). Ugh frustrating to have to ask for new ones...I'm not a hypochondriac; this should be a standard etiquette. I expect restaurants to have clean, stain-free dish wares. Overall, I would recommend this place for delicious food and great service. Need improvement in cleaning dishes. mention read more

I had terrible service at the bar on Saturday. Dirty dishes were everywhere at the bar and no one attempted to clean up anything. I sat for 8 min before being greeted. I think they may have been trying to get the place closed down for ? It was about 115pm The bartender took my order and absolutely deserted me. I ordered coffee and food but the coffee never came. I had to flag down a server to get some old coffee- it was evidently left over from another table. Yuk The food was disappointing and no one ever came to check on me. She was in the back and never gave me a second thought. The food was overcooked AND yet cold, if I could have found someone I would have asked for ... something? I had to flag down yet another server to get more coffee and my check. Had a few words with the server before I left- she was the worst and she knew it. There seemed to be a ton of employees working but no one seemed to be paying attention- no manager ever came around. do better first watch Green Hills!!! read more

My friend and I visited a friend in Nashville. They took us to this cute breakfast place before we headed back home. We went on a Saturday morning, there was a wait of course but the help yourself coffee station was a huge win for me. We didn't wait too long before being seated. We had the BEST waiter Hughes. He was very kind, checked on us to make sure we didn't need anything, and extremely attentive. I could see he had several other tables at the time too because the restaurant was packed. We got waffles, bacon, and eggs Benedict! Everyone said their food was delicious! Hughes was the best and we really enjoyed eating here! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Good food, but service always seems a little chaotic. Getting a table is slow because there is rarely anyone at the host stand, and the staff in the dining room seems happy to just let you just stand there. If you flag down a server to help you get seated they seem to be a little put out with a "that's not their job" kind of attitude. I have been many times and this has been the case about 90% of the time. Wish there was a better breakfast option in Green Hills. read more

Favorite place to visit no matter what part of the country I'm in. The tri fecta ( pancake eggs and bacon) will never lead me wrong. I also always order the superfood bowls which is chia seed pudding, fresh friction and preserves with granola on top! read more

Not sure why they have such low reviews. I thought my brunch was fine! Not worthy of a 3 star but it also wasn't anything special. It was just a very good meal! I got the Floridian French Toast that had bananas, strawberries, kiwi, and powdered sugar on it and served with some kind of strawberry preserve/jelly/syrup? Again it was good, but nothing special. I also was interested in the Million Dollar Bacon and decided to get an order of that too. In my opinion, it was more like Hundred Dollar Bacon with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne, and maple syrup, but I can't complain: it's bacon, y'know? The important thing is that I left with a full stomach and no regrets, so I can't complain ‍ read more

The music is too loud. This is my only complaint, because the food and service are good. Our men's group meets on the outside patio first thing in the morning once a week. Today we couldn't hear ourselves above the very loud music. We asked if it could be turned down, and we were told that corporate controls the noise level. We are considering taking our group (4 to 10 men once a week) to another venue. Honestly, the dining room is so loud anyway. This is a place for meaningful breakfast meetings. More noise hurts the customer experience. read more
