This location is great. Right down the road for most people and a nice "hidden" location. This location feels comfortable. The restaurant itself is rather small. I guess it's just right- so it doesn't feel as much like a chain. The staff is attentive and helpful when needing to make an accommodation. I love their updated menu items and seasonal treats. Definitely ask about those. First watch is always a nice breakfast and lunch spot.. don't overlook this chain. They have great food.

First Watch - Million dollar bacon and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - Cafes Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Poor food quality and customer service. Specifically informed server about restriction and plate came with it in it. Poor attention to detail and poor remedial action. read more

Near the theme parks sit an American, Tex Mex focused restaurant with a great variety of brunch options, a great place for your rest day away from the parks or if you're here for some casual dining! Taste: 4/5 Ambience: 3.5/5 Value for Money: 4/5 Service: 4/5 We had: 1) Burrito special - this was good! 2) Million dollar bacon - if you like candied bacon, this will be a treat with heat (a good must have!) 3) cinnamon donut bites - taste as it sounds 4) Avocado Toast - quite literally taste as it sounds once again, pretty standard 5) AM superfoods bowl - a heavy amount of superfoods and granola There wasn't anything themed or unique of the place, the food felt like good ol' diner food that didn't look like a diner. read more

Today 12/04/2025 was the most disappointing experience I have ever had at a First Watch restaurant.At 2:00pm my son and I decided to stop in and grab a bite to eat really quickly.To start, when we walked in, a gentleman, who I now know was the manager, looks at us and screams back to the tall blonde female waitress"here's two more" the tone seemed very uninviting. The waitress proceeded to seat us.Shortly after another party of two walks in and he yells again "here goes two more" very uninviting tone again.While we are waiting for our waiter the same blonde lady that seated us goes to two guys sitting at the table eating and she says here's your check and he said oh I know we have to pay at the register. She said actually you can go ahead and scan this QR code and pay there.The customers clearly looked at her in frustration and one of the guys said to the other"Ok I get it you all are closing".Our waitress finally came over and asked what drinks we wanted an we told her she immediately said "so do you know what you are going to order"in a very rushed manor.I asked could we have a moment to review the menu while she gets the drinks and she said yes.She comes back carrying the tray with drinks then took one hand off the tray to sit the water on the table and she dropped the tray and spilled orange juice all over my son and I. She says oh I'm sorry about that. she then says let me go and get you one of the rags that we clean the tables with that have cleaner on them so you can clean yourselves up. She starts rolling off paper towels, dropping them on the table and the floor.She then rolls some up and places them on the bench next to me for me to clean my purse off. Then the manager and the blonde tall waitress says let me move you guys over here while my son and I still have orange juice and water dripping from our clothes, hands and shoes.I went to the ladies room to try to use hand soap to clean my clothes but not surprising there was no soap in the dispenser so I had to just use water from the tap.When I came back from the bathroom my son was holding my purse trying to clean it off because juice was covering the outside and had gotten on the inside.There was a waitress with purple hair short kind of stout that says to me"you should go to walmart and buy leather cleaner and clean the stains off; they will come out."This obviously irritated me further, and I said "I'm not going to buy leather cleaner at all because if these stains don't come out you all will be giving me $4,000 dollars". My husband just bought me that purse last month for my birthday.She then says "well I'm a DIY type of girl and have no problem cleaning things myself" I said to my son damn I have a meeting now I need to go home and change this is ridiculous" The purple haired girl says it's not like she did it on purpose accidents happen and I know her and she just wouldn't do that.I said first of all you guys have been rushing since we came in here and she goes no we didn't.I asked her did she see us when we walked in and she said no. I then said"then why are you even concerning yourself with this situation. I told my son "let's go I'm never coming back here again" the purple haired girl said"great" enjoy the rest of your day" and laughed at us..We exited the restaurant and that comment did not set right with me so I went back in and asked the tall blonde for the corporate number.She said ok let me get my manager.I stood there for a while as I watched him go in and out of the kitchen.He finally comes to the register and said"why do you need corporate number?"I said because I want to report my experience I've had here today.He said accidents happen what is there to report being very dismissive. I said let me have the corporate number or your district manager number. He said you can google first watch for customer service and I am not giving you my manager's number. Another person in the restaurant approached me and said ma'am I saw what happened and I am so sorry. Is there anything that I can do to help you?I said no ma'am I will find the information that I need. The manager looks at her and says "so do you need the website too and rattles it off again.The other patron says sir i've worked in the restaurant industry before and if a customer ask for a corporate number you give it to them.She also told him that if he doesn't give me the number she will not leave a tip and he laughed shrugged his shoulder and said"so" as if he really didn't care. By this time I told the lady "don't worry I'm going to be fine" and he looked past the both of us and said to the customers walking in "so how many are in your party?" There were about 8 of them and it was about 2:22 by that time and he was so pleasant to them. I noticed that when it came to myself and my son as well as the other patron who was black, he or his employees had no problem with being disrespectful and dismissive. I urge First Watch to look into this location because after speaking to sever read more

Used to always be a great experience but the last two visits service and food has declined. Both times bacon came out cool like it had been sitting in window awhile. Our waitress said she was busy working the pass so gave us two drinks at once knowing she wouldn't be back. She never checked on us and we didn't drink the refill full of melted ice. Not horrible but definitely a decline overall. read more

I love this First Watch! Not only is the food delicious but Travis is our favorite server. They were out of the Blueberry Lemon Cornbread and we were bummed so after ordering he surprised us with a FREE grilled blueberry muffin and butter. I've never had that kind of care and service, we felt like we were eating at The Bear. I highly recommend coming here, food is always great. I don't think I'll ever have muffins any other way again. Thanks Travis!! :) read more

Had the Kids Blueberry Pancake It was good, but the only complaint is the blueberries was all in the middle of the pancake. The first when i got one like a mouth ago the blueberry was all over and had 2 pork sausage and this time only one. but other than that, ever thing was good. I would have gave 5 stars but that took it to 4 stars read more

Having breakfast at First Watch is consistently delightful. They serve freshly made dishes that are prepared to order. Our top picks are the Traditional and Chile Chorizo Omelette - they are well-crafted, bursting with flavor, and made with market-fresh ingredients. Even the kids would enjoy the multigrain toast. Don't miss out on their large, fluffy pancakes that are incredibly light. The creamy and rich butter is guaranteed to create a dance of flavors in your belly! read more

It's your typical breakfast chain, but I've always had a great meal. It's a chain because it's successful. If you're in an area with a First Watch, you can never go wrong with popping in for breakfast/brunch. The only downside is there's usually at least a 20 minute wait. read more

Easy solid three or four. Our server was eggcellent though I found the scrambled eggs to be overcooked and the bacon undercooked. Such as it were, I didn't complain. I'm a hard sell on casual dining breakfast anyway, it's all ridiculously overpriced; so I always sort of expect something better than what I could do at home myself for a few bucks and am almost always disappointed. Whatever the case, was good enough, we were well attended, and I guess that's what counts. read more

I was on business travel in Florida and was looking for a brunch spot before heading to the airport and decided to stop by here based on their reviews! I'm so glad we did. This was in March so I'm a little late to reviewing and can't remember what I ordered! The building was in a shopping area, lots of parking and the inside had a bar area and a dining area, plenty of tables for big families or just by yourself or with someone else. Great cocktails too! Service was impeccable, our waitress was bossin it, I'm a mom of 4 and she was 7 months pregnant so she was a joy to chat with! read more

ALL THE WAY FROM CALI....Second state I've tried this place and it has not failed me yet... the service is always good, the food is always tasty, and the environment is always pleasant. The best part is that our large group of 8 was able to come and sit right down. Going out for breakfast after a red eye flight can sometimes put us sleep deprived travelers on edge and sometimes even makes us a little hangry... FIRST WATCH definitely made breakfast a pleasant experience. The food was super tasty... the multigrain pancakes were delicious... the waffles equally worth the carb coma. The house potatoes were the best I've had in a long time. The service was great and the location was not too far from where we were staying. Definitely coming back in 2024!!! read more

This particular branch of the national Shane known as First Watch is located in Mills PARk, which is the shopping plaza that has The Fresh Market as its anchor store 0 and is located across the street from the Octopus Car Wash. This early morning breakfast place is not a bad place to grab, well, breakfast. It offers some more healthy options than your typical greasy-spoon type diner, Though be warned that it is a bit more expensive than what you would pay in that greasy spoon types diner. There are a lot of places to grab breakfast in this area oh, but this is not a bad choice for the first meal of the day. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Got to First Watch around 8:30 was seated as soon as we go in and no one took our order. finally after I watched 3 white men get seated no more than 5 mins later they were being served coffee. Finally a waiter approached us as we were getting up to leave to ask us if we have been spoken to but myself and my company/ We were thee only black faces in there. Racist establishment ! read more

I'd been wanting to try First Watch and hadn't gotten the chance because every location seems to be packed whenever I try. I finally got to try it at the specific location and it was almost as great as I'd built it up to be. The service was great, the ambiance was fun, and the food was tasty! So, then, why not 5 stars? Put simply: because they really skimp on the bacon! My husband received two measly pieces. This definitely stood out against other similar breakfast/brunch spots we've been to where they serve more than two pieces and/or the pieces are more substantial. That said, we'll be back because we did enjoy the rest of our meals very much and there are items on the menu we want to try! read more

I dined in on a Saturday very early and had a great breakfast that was socially distanced. I ordered a new drink that was called Purple Haze. This particular juice is supposed to have a touch of lavender but someone went real heavy with that flavor. I would try it again hoping for just a touch as the description mentions. The other item I had was the crab avocado toast. This is a generous portion of avocado, crab and two eggs your way. This was a hearty breakfast served on multi-grain bread with slightly pickled red onions on top. So delicious I wanted to finish this but it was a lot of food. I love trying new menu items and the service was top notch. I also got a salad to go to enjoy later. It was getting busy as I left so very pleased I was able to get in and out without a crowd. read more

Excellent breakfast place and great price! Will highly recommend this restaurant. We ordered a coffee and got a pot full of coffee

amazing food and service will be back soon great selection and ambiance amazing variety hard to choose

Great option for breakfast or brunch! I was driving by and decided to enjoy their delicious and healthy menu. Even with diverse options, I consistently choose the French toast, as it's foolproof. I suggest trying the 'Tri-fecta,' a dish that includes two eggs prepared your way along with a choice of meat. This was the recommendation from the waitress and it couldn't have been better! The Eggs Benedict were also divine. The orders arrived quickly, and the table service was impeccably aligned! 10/10 read more

First Watch is the best breakfast chain ever. There. I said it for you. You're welcome. This First Watch used to be soooo slammed - line out the door down the street slammed. I am so glad to see that the new Winter Park location has alleviated a lot of that stress on this business. We were seated immediately when walking in at 9am on a Saturday morning. The restaurant is fresh, bright, and pretty cosy still. I love that they leave the coffee carafe at the table. I love the seasonal menu items. I just can't say enough good about First Watch. It is somewhat pricey and the portions are smaller than a diner by a lot, but just because it's a fast breakfast joint, doesn't mean it's a diner. I refuse to believe you can compare First Watch to a diner. The servers at this location are always spot on, super friendly, efficient, and know when to leave you alone. I even like that you pay up front because heck it's convenient and fast! read more

Lot of great options for breakfast or lunch, cost effective and pretty clean. They are very flexible with adjustments to your meal, and the service is good, they've got a staff that seem pretty friendly. Whether you're coming here for something unique, comfortable, cheap or quick, it kinda fills all of those gaps for you. Wasn't the best tasting but the overall taste and comfort of the food for the ambiance and options are a definite come-again. read more

Our daughter and I stopped in yesterday for brunch. We were seated immediately and after we finally ordered (they have so many different combinations of varied foods, styles that it is so hard to really make up your mind. Plus, they have the best drinks! We both ended up getting the TRIFECTA! One can never go wrong with the Trifecta and that includes either a Belgian waffle or an extremely pancake (blueberry, chocolate chip, etc.) with eggs however you like, with bacon or sausage. I'm vegetarian so I opted for potatoes. Everything was DELISH!!! We visited the Clermont, FL Location at the corner of Hancock Road and East Hwy 50. Yummmmmm! read more

The purple haze drink is so good too. read more
