Monica provided truly above and beyond service , which can feel like a rare find in such a busy tourist town. Even with a full house , she remained patient, walked us through our options, and never once made us feel rushed. Honestly, it felt less like being served and more like visiting with friends and family . Breakfast was delicious from start to finish, and even the coffee and cornbread deserve their own little moment of appreciation. There was a bit of a wait before we were seated , so I'd recommend planning accordingly during peak hours, which is admittedly most of their operating day . Despite the crowd, the warmth and hospitality never felt compromised. Even checkout was a pleasant experience , which says a lot about the consistency of the team. Great food, memorable service, and an experience we'd gladly repeat . read more

I got my Saturday brunch here before heading out of Orlando. Portion was huge (Avocado Toast came in two Texas Toasts size.) Salt and lime on top was good touch. I had Butterfly Peas lemonade (EXTREMELY SWEET). My friend had Steak bowl green juice. The waitress kept coming by every 10 minutes. Which disrupts our morning breakfast conversation. I understand that there were many customers in waiting area. But rushing and disrupting every ten minutes was not ok. Bright lighting interior was pleasing to me. But to be honest; the rushing part was the most annoying. We even had coffee too. Try to tolerate the rush and intake caffeine for sanity. Price point was good and even very affordable for the portion. Avocado toast with two too well done eggs (I didn't even touch). We were told eggs will be medium cook with little running. It was hard and fully cooked. Will I go back? If waitress will give us some space and privacy. It's morning and no one is ready for being annoyed. That's it. read more

First Watch - Avocado Toast $14.99 comes with two over cooked eggs. Waitress bothers every 10 minutes because long waiting list. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

For starters, nobody was there when we arrived. On a Wednesday at 830, meaning that there should have been no reason for it to take 15 min for someone to come to our table. Apparently there was a mixup, new servers, something. I think my issue here is that the hostess who sat us saw me staring at her trying to get her attention and did nothing. We ordered biscuits and they never showed up because she put them on the wrong ticket or something. Not sure. Didn't get the request for no butter correct on the pancakes. The list is long. Don't get the iced coffee - it's not good. All in all not a good experience. The rustic frittata was very good. I do love the ambiance. It's new and well done. read more

We were staying in Orlando at a resort about a mile away and decided on Family brunch at First Watch. There were 6 of us, 4 adults and 2 children. We were seated right away at a spacious booth that comfortably sat all 6 of us, including a booster seat. Jaliaya was our amazing server. We all had a variety of food. 4 of us had pancakes, I had blueberry & the kids had chocolate chip pancakes. My daughter tried the new steak & potato skillet, and my cousin had a sandwich & salad lunch duo. Everything was pretty good, prepared well and we got everything in a good amount of time from the time we ordered. The service was good & the food was good. read more

Just a regular first watch. Pretty busy location based on where it sits. A lot of large groups which it's really good for. Nice bar seating area too. Touristy. Service was really really slow and while our server was nice I don't think he really listened to what we were looking for. There was some confusion over the difference between iced coffee and cold brew from his end. read more

So today was the last day of our family vacation and my wife and I wanted to bring our nephew and sister-in-law to experience this place. We have them both the good and the bad review and were paying for a great experience and we received it. As soon as we entered the establishment shortly after they opened, we were greeted by a friendly waitress who informed us she was in training. She did an amazing job, by the way. My wife ordered the Floridian French toast, I the Banana Brittle French toast asking with their yummy Million Dollar Bacon and their Watermelon wake-up juice, my sister-in-law ordered the Lemon Riccota pancakes and my nephew some plain pancakes. We were served some fresh brewed coffee which just hit right. Everything was so yummy and we all shared so everyone could taste it all. Just overall a great experience that left a great memory for our family. read more

The food was good but the service was terrible. Our waiter forgot about us and then was stationed behind the bar so we sat for a while until we made due without the things we were missing. I had to go up to the bar to ask for our check. Overall we won't be going back. I do appreciate the quality of the food and everything was really good but the service was a real turn off read more

The lemon ricotta pancakes are always a perfect brunch treat. I added a side of bacon that was perfectly cooked. We came on a Monday morning and it was very busy-- waited about 10-15 mins for 4 people. Service was friendly and fast. Everything was clean and well-maintained, bathrooms included. I love the unique feel of First Watch and that I can count on it to be delicious no matter where I'm traveling. read more

All in all, this is a good First Watch location. I am a fan of First Watch and this location had the quality, service and general ambiance is have come to expect from a First Watch. Before First Watch and other similar restaurants, the greasy-spoon diner was the norm when wanting breakfast. I definitely appreciate a more elevated place for breakfast. I would definitely recommend here. read more

Always been a fan of this chain. This location can get busy fast! I went in today to pick up a Togo order and it felt like a constant rush of people would walk in. The host was very good at controlling everything between pick up orders, payments, and seating. She was sweet too. I got the BEC and the athlete (added ham). I will say I wish I got a bit more ham in the omelette as it was something I had to pay almost $3 extra for. read more

While in Orlando over the weekend, we ordered breakfast to go at First Watch. They generally have been pretty good in the cities and towns that we have visited. This one was nice and clean with a friendly staff and casual vibe. We had the Traditional breakfast with Eggs, Bacon and house potatoes and the Tres Leches French Toast with syrup and strawberries. Both were good! My daughter had the Honey Crunch Iced coffee. Our server was Alejandro. He was friendly, attentive and helpful with suggestions. Parking was right out front of the restaurant and wheelchair accessible. read more

the drinks are too STRONG or too WEAK and their lavender drink tastes like soap :( The Bloody Mary was decent but tasted like just v8 and black pepper. They didn't have the right liquor license to even fix a weak drink... Service was horrendously slow. We let them know we were in a rush and still waited around 40 minutes for food. Soup came out flaming hot and couldn't be eaten for a while. Eggs Benedict was basic, hollandaise was not great. Too frothy and did not very flavorful. All in all I get that it's a staple, but I really thought the food OR the drinks OR the service OR the ambience would be better. read more

Went there for breakfast and was seated down right away. It was a cold morning and they had hot coffee station outside for people that are waiting to be seated. The inside is nice and open, they decorated the place & have holiday menu which is very festive. Food took awhile to come out (it did get busy) but it was hot and delicious. Overall it's a good breakfast/ brunch spot for a quick bite read more

Big fans of First Watch. When ever we travel we try to find a First Watch to ensure a great breakfast. We visited this location and were just blown away. It's such a beautiful place. I approve of it all, decor, lighting, tables & chairs. Who ever set this place up knows what they're doing. We had the pleasure of getting Timothy as our server. He was just incredible. What a friendly guy. He attended to our every need. He was just super wonderful. What an asset to First Watch. We tried 2 of the specials. The Maple Biscuit and the Chipotle Chicken Hash. WOW WOW WOW. We fought about which one was the better dish. We also enjoyed some mimosas they prepare in front of you, nice touch. Coffee is amazing. We love First Watch. I HOPE THEY STAY AS THEY ARE AND NEVER CHANGE BECAUSE ITS PURE PERFECTION. Thanks Timothy! read more

This was such a wonderful brunch experience! I personally love First Watch and their concept. Service was wonderful, I wish I remembered my server's name she was great. We were sat towards the back, nice and quiet. I ordered their in season cinnamon toast cereal milk cocktail and it was delicioussss. Their coffee was delicious as well. I ordered their eggs Benedict with smoke salmon & potatoes (this is my favorite dish here), my mom ordered their in season so cal hash bowl (not pictured) my son ordered the kids bacon and egg (scrambled) and the kids French toast which I got to try and it was delicious! I like that you can pay online, avoiding having to wait for the server to come back or you can go up to the host stand to pay. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was very friendly. 10/10 recommend read more

Found this place on a whim, but overall was pretty good. The only lackluster part was the server. Came by to take our order and stopped by to give us our check. If it was busy I would give it a pass, but it was not very busy when we stopped in. The cheesy Grits were top notch, collectively our favorite part of the dish. The Chickichanga had tons of flavor and just a little spice. My wife enjoyed the frittata, but we both agreed there was maybe a little too much onion in both of our dishes. Glad we picked this place, there were also quite a few things that we saw pass by that looked tasty as well. read more

Food was good, service very slow sat at the bar. Didn't receive my bacon until I was about to leave. Lavender spiked lemonade was delicious.

My Family and I went to the Orlando location of First Watch Diner and had the most amazing experience. Our waitress, Sam, was absolutely incredible! She was accommodating to gluten-free allergies for my sister, provided prompt service, and answered all of our questions about the menu. The Million Dollar bacon was amazing, had a great hot honey and brown sugar taste. Additionally, their banana foster french toast is a must try! Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

I want to apologize that this review really is of First watch in general. I am Gluten free-allergy not preference, So when my family suggested first watch I knew I could eat there. Now, unfortunately we had stopped patronizing first watch near our home (in another state) due to inconsistent food production. But I knew they could modify my order. So I said yes. I ordered a pick 2. And the over head statement is, the order came out correctly with modifications. But here's the however, my sandwich did not look like my companion who had no modifications. My sandwich was looked sloppy and sad. In fact it was doused in mayo to the extent it was spilling out the sides. So, I asked for a replacement. My waiter looked at me and said, some people like it that way. If the kitchen believes that a sandwich should have so much mayo it should spill out of the sides, serve it in a ramekin on the side. But that was messy and all around unappealing. My replacement came out, boxed (as requested) because at this point my table is done eating. And my veggie sandwich consisted of three 1/2 cremini mushrooms. Gee, thanks. So I sent back the food and now the kitchen is either mad or rushing. Shucks. So I, with the dietary restriction get to smile and say thank you so as to not be rude or disruptive to my family whom I'm visiting. My husband never got his ice coffee and we had to ask for an extra plate. As a whole, the experience at this location is par for being in a tourist community near the holidays. But the experience for anyone who needs a modification on your order. Just find somewhere else. First watch team members really seem to be bothered. The second star is for our waiter who really did try. read more

This is such a nice restaurant and the people that work here are all very nice and helpful. I had the Farmhouse hash that had bacon, potatoes, cheese, sun dried tomatoes, onions with two eggs on top. It was very tasty and served with toast. Tricia had the Florida French toast topped with fruit with a side of fruit compote. She enjoyed it very much. read more

Service in the front of the house was AWESOME. But there were some mistakes from back of house. We had a party of 12, on a Saturday morning. We came around 10, got a table and seated quickly. Our waitress was very nice, tended to our table often. Issue was with the food when it came out. 4 of us ordered the same thing, Shishito Hash. Mines was perfect, had everything. 2 others did not get their Shishito, it was brought out afterwards on a separate plate. 3 of the orders were missing the corn in the hash, one of the reasons that they ordered it because they loved corn. We told our waitress and she quickly brought out corn on the side. Manager came out and right sized our bill, but that was unfortunate, it was a dish they had a big ad for on the sidewalk. Other than that, good tasted great! They even brought out warm syrup, who doesn't love warm syrup? read more

Had breakfast with my family here. Although this was not my first time to a First Watch, this was by far the best experience I've had at any restaurant in a long time. As we approached the front door, one of the employees opened the door. We were sat immediately and our server, Sara, was outstanding! The food options were plentiful and everything was delicious. Loved the fresh juices as well. There's something for everyone here. read more

Wednesday we ate at First Watch! FANTASTIC FOOD! Everything we had was delicious, and we highly recommend the Million Dollar Bacon! We made the big mistake of going and trying a different restaurant this morning, for breakfast, and it was a total disappointment. So tomorrow, Friday, we will be back at First Watch for breakfast before we head out to the airport. Delicious food. Everything was fantastic. Even the service was very good. Fairly priced for the amount of food you get too. Highly recommend! read more

First Watch is always a great place to eat, breakfast or lunch. I wish they were open for dinner. The food is always good and the service is friendly. Prices aren't bad either.

We decided to walk to the first watch which was about 2 miles from where we were staying while visiting Orlando, Florida. I was able to get on the waitlist via the website. Upon arriving we were able to be seated within ten minutes on a busy Saturday morning. The restaurant was tastefully decorated and had something on the menu for everyone. We ordered the million dollar potatoes which was a version of the breakfast potatoes which were topped with bacon and a delicious white cheese sauce. We also opted for a chorizo omelette and the traditional breakfast. I can't remember the exact name, but it was two eggs served with your choice of meat, a side and their whole grain toast. Our food came out piping hot and exactly as ordered. We saw so many plates that passed our table that we may be back tomorrow. It was the perfect start of my day. Oh and I forgot, service was top notch as well. read more

Fave FW! This newer location has a large dinning area, bar seating, AND outside seating! Fast, accurate, and friendly service! First Watch always has "healthier" food options, yummy seasonal menus, and a great selection of drinks! This time, I tried their seasonal Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast (delish!) as my sweet treat, and also got chicken & chorizo breakfast tacos (very well seasoned! And not oily) and I substituted the side of beans for potatoes! My husband got the brisket hash and he really enjoyed it! He switched out the tortillas for a side of toast. Morning Meditation drink was very fresh and refreshing. Family friendly, homey ambiance, farmhouse style decor. Chairs and booths for seating, high chairs available. High top seating at bar. Taylor Buddemeier was our super attentive server. Would love to return to her area next time. TIP: Get "in line" while you're on your way there by visiting their website and choosing the correct location! read more

Having been to quite a few First Watch locations in Arizona, I was happy to come upon one in Florida! We stopped for an early breakfast on a Friday and were only one of a couple of groups there, so it was pretty peaceful and enjoyable! With it being fall, I was excited to try their pumpkin pancake and it did not disappoint! The chicken sausage wasn't my favorite, but the eggs were cooked well which isn't always the case! The servers were all super sweet and welcoming, too, which was awesome. We will definitely be back! read more
