First Watch is a restaurant that serves both breakfast and lunch and I have pretty much only have been here for breakfast. I like how First Watch and other similar restaurants give a more upscale version than the typical greasy spoon restaurants that once were the norm if you wanted to head towards a restaurant for breakfast. The service here was professional and the food was good. I would definitely recommend this particular location of First Watch. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

First Watch is my go to chain breakfast restaurant., always delicious - no matter what location. On a quick trip to Orlando my family and I visited the Grand National First Watch location. They were busy but still had availability. The food came out quick and the server was knowledgeable, easy going, and continuously refilled our drinks. My only qualm - while they didn't rush us to leave - our "good" service didn't quite continue. As the restaurant was close to closing the servers were more excited to leave than check on our table but, overall it evened out. Overall food/drinks at this location is 10/10. read more

First Watch - Smoked Salmon & Roasted Vegetable Frittata - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

On this beautiful Easter Sunday, we chose to have breakfast at First Watch, hoping for a warm and enjoyable experience. For the most part, everything was going well until we witnessed something that truly took away from the moment. A family was seated next to us just as we were finishing our meal. Not long after maybe 5 to 10 minutes the manager, Michael, returned and asked them to get up because the table had been promised to someone else. It was confusing and honestly hard to understand how that situation could happen. The mother remained calm and respectfully tried to explain and ask if they could stay, but it seemed her concerns weren't really being heard. Despite her efforts, she agreed to leave. What made it especially difficult to watch was the reaction of her young son clearly hungry and upset, crying as they were asked to go back and wait after already being seated. It was heartbreaking. No family, especially on a holiday like Easter, should have to go through that. Being seated and then asked to leave like that felt unfair and avoidable. Moments like these matter. Unfortunately this one left a lasting impression for the wrong reasons. It was disappointing to witness and it's hard to recommend a place after seeing a situation handled that way. read more

We enjoyed our breakfast the day before at First Watch so much that we went back. Decided to try this location which was close to our appointment. Love this location! They opened the door for us before we could even walk to it. The staff are personable and friendly. We appreciated good service. First Watch released their new summer menu and it looks so good! I had their new million dollar breakfast sandwich and a morning meditation juice with their boost. So good! I may have to go back for round 3! read more

The lemon blueberry cornbread was so good. It's a seasonal item, so get it while you can. Our food came out fast and the waitress was attentive. We were here at lunch on a Wednesday. The dining room was maybe half full and it was so loud with people talking. There wasn't even music that people were talking over. Honestly, I would have preferred to take our food to go. read more

We had breakfast here during our short vacation and i would come back here any time. The place was pretty busy on Sunday. Its hard for me to find breakfast places i would say i like, as i eat healthy, but this was one of those restaurants where i would happily return for a brunch. They have different kind of fresh squezed juices. We started with a bacon appetizer, it was amazing! I had avocado-egg toast which was so delicious.. We also ordered pancakes with fruit, big portion, fresh and tasty. We really enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere, our serves was very kind as well. read more

Pretty good standard American breakfast food. We didn't have anything that blew our minds but it was all very substantial and good portions, our son loved the strawberry French toast.

I liked the modern farm house ambience at First Watch. The food also exceeded my expectation. I had Tri-fecta with million dollar bacon and it was delicious. I am not a waffle person but this waffle was special - fluffy in the middle and slight crusty on the side and it somehow had a hint of savory taste. I also enjoyed the kale juice. Would love to come back if I happen to be in town again read more

Stopped in for a late brunch close to 2p. No wait. We started with the bacon. I ordered the pumpkin pancake breakfast and my son did the breakfast tacos. They ran out of chicken sausage by then so I did bacon with my pancakes. Good came out quickly. I enjoyed my pancake and the tacos were good. Service was ok. First watch is one of our last minute breakfast preferences. read more

First time visiting this First Watch location in Orlando. I've been to several others near home, but this was my first time here, and the experience was just as great as always. I ordered one of my usual dishes, and as expected, the flavor and quality did not disappoint. This time, we decided to try something from the seasonal menu: the Steak and Eggs Hash, which was delicious. We also revisited some of our all-time favorites, like the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (a perfect choice if you pair them with bacon and eggs) and the Chickichanga, which is consistently amazing. I also tried the Red Medicine juice from the holiday menu for the first time, and it was incredible! First Watch continues to be a reliable choice for brunch and breakfast. read more

Been to this location many times. Began visiting their new one by Kirkman Rd (Grand National) and had a terrible experience with service. Mr. Rucker made it right for my family. I came back to the location that never disappoints, Dr. Phillips (Sand Lake) The service is always great, nice area, welcoming staff. The restrooms are a bit rough. There is profanity vandalism in the men's restroom, and it was out of paper towels. Despite being super busy they always keep a smile and positive attitude. Our food was great as always. read more

Put in a to-go order for the morning of Mothers Day, I know and expect them to be extremely busy.

Get on the wait list and offer to sit outside, that will help with the wait. We sat outside but then had to wait 20 minutes (two requests) for a waiter. Our food kept going to other tables. They are super busy and I am sure some days that works out better than others. Food was good, but cold, definitely had been sitting somewhere other than our table for a bit! read more

It was good. Went on a Friday morning and it was busy waited about 25min at 10am. Service was fine, we ordered right away and were told the kitchen was backed up and it would be a bit. Took about 25min for our food but everything was hot and good. I had the waffle, my sons had the BLTA which was really good on the multigrain bread daughter had a simple egg and bacon that was also good.

First Watch - Yummy food. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

First Watch is probably one of my favorite breakfast places in the area! It has that atmosphere of farm to table with a menu to match! This restaurant has something for everyone whether you're more of a skillet filled with goodness fan, or you're looking for a classic omelette. The thing I love most about this place is their seasonal menus that give you a chance to switch things up! As far as typical things to order I like to get the Elevated Egg Sandwich or the Farmhouse Hash in my photo I have their seasonal Cinnamon Toast Crunch spiked coffee. CHEFS KISS! I can't wait to go back and try out their new items! read more

Always a winner! You can put your name on wait list before you leave home which is super convient. Very broad menu.

First Watch has a bright, spacious feel that makes it a comfortable place to start the day. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to--at one point I even laughed with an employee who kept accidentally dropping utensils while clearing tables. It added a bit of lightheartedness to the visit. This place definitely leans toward health-conscious eaters, with menu items that feel fresh and wholesome. I ordered the Tri-Fecta and decided to mix things up with both blueberry pancakes and banana and oats (or granola) pancakes. The blueberry pancakes were easily the highlight--soft, flavorful, and full of fresh berries. The banana and oats pancakes, though, weren't quite my thing. The oats had a firmer texture than I'd prefer, and I think a softer bite would've paired better with the banana. The only small letdown was that the patio, which looked like it would've been a nice option, was closed for construction. Still, the indoor seating was pleasant and comfortable. Overall, it's a spot I'd recommend for a relaxed breakfast, especially if you're into fresh, healthy-leaning options. For me, it was a 4 out of 5 stars--good food, great service, and a bright start to the day. read more

Annual family trip to Disney , if you've been, you know you're walking ALOT ! I had my bookmarks of places I wanted to try and this was top on the list of breakfast/brunch . Stopped in and put our name on the list for a table .. 45 min wait, which was perfect because I was going down the street to purchase a painting . The text came in 15 min earlier for our table , so we ran back . Seated immediately, outdoors .. very cute outdoor area .. We order mimosas which comes with a glass of orange juice and a small bottle of Prosecco . We had the lemon ricotta pancakes , ham and Gruyère sandwich with the sweet honey pecan salad , waffles and eggs . The food was incredible , huge portions . Service was okay , we even had a cute little baby squirrel visit us and eat some eggs lol Well worth it, would definitely return read more

I don't write many food reviews unless there is something special to write about and First Watch on Sandlake delivered something special. Was here on business a couple of weeks ago and had my wife with me. We decided to get off property for a good breakfast Sunday morning. The restaurant is a little small and we waited about 15 minutes before being seated. The menu was really intriguing and being a meat and potatoes guy I went with the million dollar bacon along with million dollar potatoes. Ended up having a pancake and the cheesy cornbread and washing it down with a Coke Zero. This is literally one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. Not only was the food hot and amazing, but our waitress was awesome. She checked on us 3 separate times and had a new drink on the table as my current Coke Zero was at the 25% mark and she did that 5 additional times. My wife had an omelet and fresh squeezed OJ and she enjoyed it, but even commented that my breakfast was really good especially the bacon and potatoes, so good! I will continue to visit this restaurant when I am in town! read more
