Came here for breakfast with fiance and his friend, and they wanted to come here and get breakfast. We had a nontradional eggs Benedict and biscuit and Garvey and of course we shared cause I'm not a breakfast person, and the other ordered is avocado toast. They were all good and delicious I would come here again for breakfast. Service was good, when you pay your tab, they gave you option no less then 18%, for the tip, which you should give whatever you want and it all depends on your service, after all we don't need to pay them above 18% of the tab because we are not responsible paying for there wages. We are just tipping depends on the service. So it's happening a lot in the resturant that they would want 18% or more on the tip. Which I disagree. Ambience here is like any other first watch place. Overall the food is definitely good and would recommend if you haven't been here. read more

Wow what delicious food we have gone twice in the last 2 days it's that good! Best meals I have had in a long time! Excellent breakfast, spacious, clean, great service, we were sat quickly and the food was well seasoned and cooked to perfection! Best menu variety. Something for everyone! Please open a location in San Diego California. In Chula Vista! We had the banana caramel French toast with almonds, perfect sweetness not overly sweet. So good. Lemon ricotta pancakes in the video are my new favorite not too sweet and the lemon curd is bright and the pan is could feed 2. So moist and delicious. The grits were sooooo good and filled with a yummy garlic flavor we were not expecting and were so pleased with. The potatoes are crisp and well seasoned. Large portion enough to share. Omelets are delicious. I am now a Benedict fan. The hollandaise sauce had a lemon essence which was bright and delicious. Yummy ham on it. You cannot go wrong here. I did see musters on outside in the patio area. Cucumber water while you wait to be seated. Very friendly staff. Best Breakfast! Great portion sizes. We also took food to go and it was well packaged. read more

They have great food and nice waiters. I had a fruit bowl and blueberry muffin, which they messed up and brought a lemon poppyseed. The waiter was so embarrassed and said, I'll be right back with a blueberry! We took the lemon poppyseed home for later, but I get the fact they can't take it back to serve to someone else. I touched it-LOL! I was not upset at all and thought he was very sweet! The place is clean and cute. Chalk board in back adds a nice touch. read more

Today i had a delicious brunch with my friends. the food was amazing and the restaurant wasn't busy at all. But my server was definitely the downfall of our experience. Marie was so rude and rushfull. as we sat down she greeted us immediately expecting us to know what we want to drink before i got a chance to look at the menu. she came back for food orders and that was the last she talked to us. she continued to had us the stuff we needed such as fruit and my tiny box for a full large pancake with her back facing the table and no follow up questions about our satisfaction. Marie do better... please talk to your tables and id like a view of your face not your back next time. read more

Where do I start? Eggs were over easy although we ordered over medium. I asked for hollandaise on the side but they served it with the sauce on top. They nicely brought me a replacement with sauce on the side but the eggs were cold because the salmon on the salmon Benedict was cold. The home fries were so salty they were truly inedible. Wait staff was pleasant and ambience was decent. But we will never go back. read more

Omg! This is one of my favorite breakfast stops! Absolutely love it! Once brought relatives who were in town visiting and they thought it was wonderful! I wish we lived closer to it but when in the area this is my go to spot! read more

I've been to several First Watches over the years and this one in particular is a nice friendly, politely staffed restaurant. We were seated right away on a Saturday morning to a clean table and chairs. The waitress was polite and efficient and with a nice smile. The food was hot and delicious. I personally think the fried potatoes are over salted but it could be a personal choice. Draw your own conclusions. The prices seem expensive however if you compare it to eating at somewhere less than enjoyable establishment. Enjoying breakfast. read more

Sorely disappointed by the kitchen. The meals did not come out together and by the time the last plate arrived the other meals were cold. I should have asked for a significant discount! Don't go there for Sunday brunch! read more

This spot is...OK. Sometimes it's great and sometimes you wait forever - put those two thoughts together and you get...OK. It's all about staff these days in the restaurant business and this place does its best to get it right. Food is mostly tasty. Menu is pretty diverse but again it depends on the day. read more

I had lunch here two days ago by myself. There was a wait for tables, but there was space at the communal table, so I sat there. Service was good in spite of the noon-hour busyness. I ordered a ham and gruyere omelette with potatoes as the side dish ($13.29). It also came with two slices of buttered toast and some jam. I enjoyed everything. My only small complaint is that the omelette was too salty. Restaurants in general tend to oversalt everything. I liked the communal table even if I didn't end up chatting much with my neighbors. (If I had had my own table, I wouldn't have chatted with anyone at all.) read more

The food is delicious! Lots of unique options. And the drinks are amazing! Great for families- my kids loved it.

Headed here for breakfast before hitting the road. Glad to have some healthier options on the menu. My wife and I tried the avocado toast and the tri-athlete. Both were tasty. I also had the morning meditation from the juice bar. And that was delicious The staff was very warm and super nice despite the high traffic at the time. The place had a nice diner vibe. Overall, solid place for breakfast. read more

The service is great and the food is always delicious! I also get a coffee and the cold brew is delish.

Enjoyable and tasty comfort food. For those with a sodium restricted diet it's best to avoid certain foods here, especially the potatoes/hash. Service is friendly and efficient. The restaurant atmosphere is debatable. Warm feeling with a farmhouse decor look but the annoying loud music is extremely uncomfortable, making conversations with anyone nearly impossible. Also the music blasting away turns the restaurant into a bar-like atmosphere. I prefer a quiet and peaceful environment when eating. Therefore I only order takeout. read more

The service was very good. My breakfast hash was the best meal I have ever had there. We got a booth in the front of the restaurant that was nice and quiet. read more

Service was good. Food on the salty side, so It's not to my taste. Always crowded.

Food was good but i encountered a few eggshells on my egg benedicts. I never had this issue before, i mentioned it to the waitress and she said she'd tell the manager but never came back. So service was good, i understand it's busy, but it would of being nice to know if that ever got to their manager and so it doesn't happen to other costumers because it takes away from the experience of enjoying your plate, instead i'm concerned on every bite And picking stuff apart to take this eggshells out. Ambiance was very nice. I loved the spring's season Lavander Lemonade! read more

Stopped in here with a friend today to have lunch. So many great choices that we both decided on the 1/2 sandwich & 1/2 salad combo. I could've had a choice of soup but because I was torn between salad of sandwich I chose this combo. The ham & Gruyère sandwich was delicious with a substantial amount of ham & the Gruyère was melted beautifully on the toasted brioche bread. The 1/2 salad I chose had chicken, avocado, pecans, bacon with a dijonaise dressing. And it too was so dang good I could've licked the plate if I was home. I would definitely come back as the service was excellent and the ambiance was too. That is until the neighboring table left with their service dog & it shook beside our table as they left leaving dog hair lingering about. Don't get me wrong, I don't have issues with service dogs but the owner could've prevented the dog from shaking. read more

We don't frequent this location and this proves why. I ordered a plain waffle with extra butter. Didn't want the powdered sugar or compote. And a side of bacon. Hubby ordered a breakfast that comes with a muffin. Half hour later, no muffin. My waffle came plain, no butter and no bacon. I asked where everything was? The person bringing our meal looked confused! We will most likely go back to our regular location on River. Sorry but Celine needs more training. read more

Family get together was good, restaurant only ok. Service was good but I had asked for extra pico de gallo for my wrap and it never came. I had a side fruit salad which was a few moldy raspberries with some grapes and pineapple chunks. So overall it was an only ok experience. Restaurant was very busy so I guess I'll have to try it again. I would rate the restaurant at 2&1/2 stars but gave it 3 stars read more

Spent a week in Oro Valley and ate breakfast here twice. Both times, we We're beyond pleased by our food. Between the wonderful omelet, the classic breakfast, the biscuit and gravy meal, or french toast special, every meal was tasty, with portions being more than adequate. The service was good and the ambiance is just fun with a classic country vibe. Prices aren't cheap but I don't mind paying for quality food. read more

If you're looking for a healthy breakfast place, I highly recommend this place. They serve good and healthy, delicious breakfast. I was impressed. There was an issue with the timely servicing but they compensated us with a muffin! Our server tried her best, but I think mistake came from the kitchen. My husband had this beverage called Purple Haze, which is really good! My Eggs Benedict with Salmon was good, too. We will definitely go back. read more

Very popular breakfast/lunch place in Oro Valley and a great local breakfast/lunch option. Don't forget to get on the on line wait list, because there's usually a crowd waiting to be seated. Never the less, the wait staff is pretty efficient in moving people in and out. Sometimes, they seem to be a bit overwhelmed, but they'll generally keep their sense of aplomb and keep on pitching. Menu emphasizes local sourcing of their food items, that's a good thing. Food choices run from standard breakfast to brunchy items. They alway modify the menu seasonally to provide a bit of a change. Recent addition of mimosa type drinks is a nice upgrade, although I wish they had more choices in the bubbly used. My usual go-to meal is the Tri-athlete, because it's healthy and tasty. But do not despair, the menu has many tempting savory and sweet choices to satisfy your palate. read more

Been wanting to try this place for quite a while. We went on a Sunday around 9am and thankfully did not have to wait for a table. However, we did wait a long time for the food. I saw a couple tables get seated after us and served way before us. Our waitress checked on us a couple of times then she decided to check on our food order. Apparently there was a mix up in the kitchen and I'm pretty sure our food either never got made or it went out in a DoorDash order. She was really nice and apologized for the delay and offers up a free muffin for the inconvenience. All in all it didn't upset our experience too much. The food was very good and the Purple Haze drink I had was awesome! Oh and if you are a biscuit fan, these were some of the best I've had. Nice place , friendly service and great. food. What else could you ask for? read more

I was early for an event in Tucson and hungry so Yelp led me here. For a weekday morning it was pretty busy but my server Jesus was hustling. He was warm and friendly and offered some good suggestions on what to order. My food came out quickly and it was a nice surprise to see 4 good slices of bacon on my plate as well as all of the other goodies. When I'm back in Tucson I'll certainly add this place to the breakfast stop list. read more

Went to breakfast this morning at First Watch. Got a gift card for my birthday and decided to treat myself. I was very disappointed. I ordered the French toast which was served to me extremely hot. The gentleman that brought out the food never warned me as to how hot it was. I burned the roof of my mouth on the first bite. Not sure if they microwave it prior to serving but please don't. It came with a very small container of compote which was mostly sauce, not alot of fruit. Fresh fruit would have been better. The bread was very soft and not flavorful at all. My husband had an egg entree which he enjoyed. His only complaint was that the eggs didn't have much yolk. I do enjoy their lunch menu and will return for that, never breakfast though. read more

The food is good but the is music way too loud for a restaurant!! Wait staff does a good job!

First time visit to this chain and this location.,Another Yelp reviewer had recommended it in Naples so decided to try it. The specialty juices were fabulous! Definitely try one. The Sunrise Special was beautiful and very tasty - not super sweet. Ordered a BLT Benedict, seasonal Crabcake Benedict and a side of Biscuits and gravy. Eggs were poached beautifully and other ingredients were tasty. Biscuits very flavorful and sausage gravy delish. Gravy was not salty or very thick like other breakfast places. Our server Meredith was very accommodating without being over the top. Patio seating permitted pets and had 2 well behaved pups nearby. Highly recommended!! read more

We are big First Watch fans and it's great to the number of locations in town steadily increase. My husband always gets the French toast while I've tried several different items on the menu. The Athlete omelette and classic breakfast are both great, and I always enjoy the seasonal specials. Today I ordered the carnitas breakfast tostadas from the summer menu, which were delicious. I would definitely get these again. The watermelon wake-up juice (watermelon, pineapple, lime and mint) was perfectly refreshing and just the right amount of sweet. I definitely recommend the online waitlist on weekends. If you show up at the restaurant, you're looking at quite a wait, but the waitlist is usually pretty accurate in terms of wait time. Service can be a bit slow when it's busy, but that's the nature of dining out. This food is worth the wait. read more

I love the million dollar. It is both salty and sweet. The service is awesome because the servers are so nice! Also, they have this amazing community table where we can join together and enjoy each other's company while eating brunch! It was so much fun and warm place! read more

Excellent food, excellent service, and excellent vibes all around. I love you first watch

My husband and I stopped by for brunch on a Friday and it was pretty busy. You can join a waitlist on their website so I recommend that to minimize wait time. We were given an estimated wait time of about 20 minutes, which was pretty accurate. Once seated, service was efficient and we were able to order and get our food quickly. I decided on the lemon ricotta pancakes which was really good, not overly sweet and a touch of citrus. They also have a seasonal menu so you can always try something new when you visit! read more
