    Avocado Toast - Delicious
    Nessa R.

    The people in Oxford, MS are truly some of the best people. So, it wasn't surprising that the customer service was perfect during our breakfast visit. Food was fantastic and served hot, quick, and made to order! Ambiance is casual! Definitely recommend!

    Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast
    Ryan R.

    This was my second time at First Watch. Both times have been wonderful. The servers are warm and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is inviting but a bit loud. The food is amazing! I enjoyed the winter special strawberry tres leches French toast with a side of bacon. Others in my party had the Works omelette and biscuit n gravy. The coffee was good but a bit strong (and I like strong coffee usually). I love the donut holes and the million dollar bacon apps. Will definitely be back. I didn't realize how many locations there are around the country. Mucho! I even got the app for my phone.

    Seasoned Potatoes

    Such a cute place! The staff were nice and attentive, as well. My Bacado Omelette was alright. The egg portion of the omelette was very good, but it could've used a salsa instead of pico de gallo. I subbed the Greens for the Seasoned Potatoes, and I didn't care for them. A lot of them had more burned pieces and had a bitter aftertaste. Picking through, the potatoes that's weren't burned were pretty good. My husband got the BLT Egg's Benedict. He enjoyed it but thought the hollandaise could have been more flavorful. He also ate my wheat bread with the preserves and liked that, too. The Tres Leches French Toast was good! No complaints there. Overall, it was pretty good. I would definitely try some more stuff if we go back.

    Waitlist system can not be trusted

    Their waitlist system is horrible and can not be trusted. Why get on the wait list at 8:15, be given an 60 minute wait time, check in at 9am and wait another 55 minutes and final get a table at 10am. What a joy this place is. This happens every time I go there. After waiting long enough I asked where I was in line and was told I was the next table of 5. I saw 3 more tables of 5 sit down. I asked again and was told I was third in line. This place is not worth this hassle and incompetence. Their waitlist system is broken or their management team is incompetent.

    First Watch is a great place for Breakfast! Casual, clean and friendly service! The food is consistently good! My favorite is still the Million Dollar Bacon! If you like bacon, it's to die for! The French toast is pretty special too! But I've never had anything there that I didn't like!

    What's not to love. First watch is always a hit. The food was great and the fresh juice is always on point. Came here with my friends it wasn't too busy which is nice this place fills up quickly. Definitely a family oriented spot and can get pretty loud.

I loved the food, don't get me wrong but this definitely isn't a place I would go everyday for lunch unless I could afford it. And as a college student, I know I can't. As for the matcha matcha latte, it was a 3/10 for me. There were clumps of unmixed matcha powder at the bottom. My friend got the same latte and she had the same experience. So I would skip on this, not worth the 7 dollars in my opinion. Overall, I'm going back for the food when I can afford it!! It looks exactly like how it is pictured on Instagram and it's organic. Again, the food not the drink. The outside area was perfect for pictures and I truly felt like I was somewhere other than Mississippi. I loved it and plus the service was super fast. They brought the food out in a timely manner and I appreciated that.

Before we could enter the restaurant, however, we had to wade through all the smokers littering the entrance. Cough! We sat down at a table we chose along the perimeter across from the band. I wish I knew the name of the band, but it was a 3 piece band with a female singer, her son on the guitar, and another guy playing drums. They were good. She sang a song she wrote called the Delta. Great lyrics! My husband and I both ordered the French toast with a hash brown on the side. It took forever and honestly, I was getting a little concerned about all the people who kept coming in and out from outside and into what seemed the kitchen area. Our food arrived and it had great presentation and generous portions. Real French bread used! It was very good! After our meal, the female band leader as well as the owner of the restaurant came over to chat. Very friendly and nice conversation with all. Sadly, when we arrived home from our long drive, let's just say, the food did not sit well in our stomach. It was the only meal we had before arriving home. Another restaurant meal I have to pray was prepared with love.
