This is in my neighborhood but didn't even know it existed, probably because it was mostly hidden from view by I-17 and its fences. So it was good that Rand H. invited me to join him and Mike C. here for weekday brunch. This place has friendly service, a sunny interior with a relaxed atmosphere and comfortable, if slightly cramped, booths and tables. I ordered "The Works" which is an omelet with ham, bacon, sausage, crimini mushrooms, onions and tomatoes with cheddar and monterey jack. topped with sour cream, and chose a mixed green salad as a side. The omelet was good and was a moderate-size portion; it would still qualify as a light lunch. The mixed green salad was nothing special. The coffee was delicious and was refilled in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to bring friends to for a nice leisurely breakfast or lunch. read more

I went during lunch for their annual "Free Omelette Day ", and to support St.Vincent De Paul. I was surprised there wasn't a long line. You get to choose any omelets on the menu. Holly, my waitress was super friendly. I had ordered the Bacado omelet, which filled with bacon, avocado, melted Monterey jack cheese, along with housemade salsa. I thought the English toast was a little oily. I don't know if it was butter or something else. I usually like drinking stronger coffee, but the blend they had was pretty good. It wasn't strong or too light. The food came quickly and hot. Ambiance is not much, but overall a pleasant experience. read more

Over priced under cooked processing over cooked, scrambled eggs, ice, tea, taste like they never washed the glasses.

I like the lunch better than the breakfast at "First Watch", which is a bit ironic I suppose. Perhaps it should be named Second Watch? But on to what I do like... The "Not Guilty Your Honor" veggie wrap is good. It comes with a side of hummus, fruit and potatoes. Big meal! The "Burrito Vera Cruz" breakfast burrito was pretty good. The Vera Cruz sauce is a mixture of salsa and hollandaise. I've never had it before trying it here and it was actually pretty tasty! Mango iced tea is good! And they'll give you some to go if you ask! Somethin about the potatoes just doesn't cut it for me though... And as I mentioned earlier, the breakfast just isn't my favorite. I just don't dig their omelets much. Sign up for their email club to get a buy 1 get 1 free meal coupon. Note: If you're vegan, order the veggie wrap and substitute avocado for the feta cheese. Get a side of salsa too. read more

First Watch - Veggie wrap - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

was pretty good for a quick breakfast, always consistent and quick service. I'll be back!

The feel to this place was like ihop. But the food was definitely not. I got the Trifrecta, everything was on point. I loved the waffles, it was perfect. The maple syrup was light with blueberries not sweet, just how I like it. My sister got the Tri-athlete, she said it was okay. Haha. That was her answer when I asked her how her food was.Lolz. Our waitress was bad. Took 15 minutes to get to our table and our drinks as well. Smh. And why was she vacuuming while we were eating? Idk. My sister and I agree that we will come back to this place. JUST because the food was good :) read more

So delicious!!! If you're looking for a great breakfast spot, First Watch is always a good choice! Their signature (non-alcoholic) drinks are so refreshing and a great treat! Love their summer seasonal menu!! read more

Recently went there for the first time. There was a wait and my only complaint is the waiting area isn't very large. I had the BLTE and it was exceptional. My daughter and I split avocado toast because we had never had it before and we both loved it. It would make a great meal on it's own but it was good to share too. Service was good and the place is really fun and I like the design and atmosphere. You can't go wrong for a good breakfast or brunch meal here. read more

First Watch was like an upscale, healthy Denny's/IHOP for older people. There was a variety of breakfast items ranging from omelets/pancakes to "quinoa bowls" and watermelon cucumber smoothies. My husband had the decadent French Toast Monte Cristo which he really enjoyed and I had a pleasant but bland egg-white Tri-Athlete Omelet stuffed with mushrooms and sauteed onions. I substituted my English Muffin for what turned out to be a stodgy biscuit that wasn't worth the calories. However, the homemade strawberry jam was! Our waiter, Jared, was friendly, high energy and efficient. There was an overwhelming number of senior citizens when we went here. Maybe this restaurant is near a retirement area? Anyways, the First Watch staff were so nice to all the patrons with canes and health issues. As busy as he was, Jared even sat down for a minute to have a friendly chat with an elderly lady regular who had recently had some kind of fall. read more

Love this place, the service is on it. They seat you and already have gotten your drink order started at the same time. The atmosphere is quiet, and doesn't have the roar or move em in move em in out feeling like some places. The food is of great quality, comes out incredibly fast and hot and not greasy, and best of all with service they act as a cohesive team. The wait staff help each other, and also service taking care of payments, its just nice how this place runs like a well oiled machine. Their omeletes are great and the potatoes, are made just like my german grandmother use to make. Yum. read more

First Watch is my favorite breakfast place in Arizona. I make it a point to come here when I am in Phoenix. The food is definitely not a rehash of a typical iHop or Denny's. Two things are outstanding to me. First are the scrambled eggs. Typically I avoid them in restaurants due to how awful they usually are. Not here. They are fantastic. The other thing is the fresh squeezed OJ. Why anyplace in AZ serves frozen concentrate is beyond me. The prices are not cheap. they are not overboard either for what you get. The place also has a more upscale feel than typical chains or mom and pop places. Definitely a place you can take someone out to breakfast too and feel good about. read more

This place was so good! It looks exactly like te pictures, there's no deceitful images to get you in, to then have a crappy meal. I got the Tri Fecta with bacon, scrambled eggs, and a banana granola pancake. I ordered it for pick up and it was very fresh and the customer service was excellent! I can taste the quality of food. I like how everything is more on the healthy side. read more

I love this place! We are regulars at another Phoenix location but today we tried the newest Deer Valley location during its grand opening week. Lovely, warm, inviting décor, same dependably delicious menu and a whole new crew waiting to greet us. I can't say enough wonderful things about this brand. It's a national chain, but each location has an unmistakable neighborhood vibe. read more

This was a nice breakfast place, yummy food and friendly staff. We were seated right away and our food was brought out pretty quick. They have a bunch of different kinds of pancakes like chocolate chip, blueberry etc and the special today was carrot cake! It really tasted like it and it was yummy with the syrup. The menu is extensive so you can find pretty much anything you want. The oatmeal was good and so were the eggs and bacon. Solid place! The coffee was kind of expensive though at $2.95 a cup but other than that no complaints. read more

I know all restaurants are very short staffed right now but First Watch has gone downhill quick. Went there on a Tuesday morning and waited 40 minutes and still didn't have our food. Got up to leave and then they miraculously brought out our food two minutes later. What a shame, this used to be my favorite place. read more

We stan first watch, y'all do everything right. The server we had was wonderful and checked if there were pumpkin seeds in the bread they used because I'm slightly allergic. He was kind and attentive. Don't remember his name and I feel like a traitor, that's my one job. Anyways, on to the food. I went for a lighter breakfast of avocado toast and eggs which was surprisingly filling. The bread was thick, the avocado topping they had was beautifully seasoned, and the eggs were done exactly like I asked. The water could have used water, I'm not gonna lie. But I'm also not going to knock any stars off for it bc I love you first watch. Keep doin you bb. read more

First Watch - Avocado toast aka perfection - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great breakfast place. It's a very busy restaurant but loved their reservation app. Put your name on the list and watch it update, save you some time from sitting and waiting. Food was excellent, I ordered traditional breakfast and my husband had eggs benedict. My only complain, the waitress never came back to check on us after our food was given. read more

So, I wanted something to eat this morning, and the thought of coming made me decide to go out to eat instead. I'm tired of blowing up the kitchen, so I decided to come here instead. This place is located off the service drive of I-17, smushed in between some hotels and next door to the outback steakhouse. When I arrived, the parking lot looked kind of full, and I thought "oh great, there's going to be a wait-what did I get myself into?" Fortunately, I was seated right away. The host was friendly and outgoing, and the waitress gave me a menu and offered me some drinks. I reviewed the menu and decided to order the Cinnamon raisin french toast, and let me tell you, it was delicious! Three pieces of french toast, with some home made jelly jam tasted awesome! The place is cutely decorated, with bench style seating, and there's more then enough places to sit. I was thrilled that I didn't have a wait on a Saturday morning shortly before 10AM, because as you know, breakfast places can be packed at times like this. They also have a lunch menu as well, which seemed really appetizing. Bathrooms were clean, and overall, it was a really good experience. Prices were fair, as my french toast only cost me $7.53 after tax! I see myself coming back in the future, and this place is definitely worth a try if your in the area for breakfast or lunch. I think they close at 3PM, so make sure you get there earlier in the day. read more

Delicious meal, great service, inviting atmosphere. Waited too long to write this, don't remember the menu item I had, but it was delicious. Would definitely return. read more

Everything was DELICIOUS! I have a small appetite, so the smaller portions they give you managed to satisfy me, but if you like to eat, you may want a side or second plate. I ordered avocado on my food and got 3 itty bitty pieces for $2. I'm talking tiny. Their fresh green juice was so delicious. Great coffee. Attentive server. Eggs on my Benedict was cooked through hard which was a bummer. Still really yummy food with a wide variety of menu and many healthier options. Will be back! read more

This place is a great place for breakfast, brunch, and lunch! The menu has a variety of options ranging from classic toast to omelets. The food tastes and looks very fresh made on the day of. The serving size is also very satisfactory. I've been here several times and food stays consistent which is always appreciated in an eatery. Side note, the cups they serve, at the chandler location, is due to the restaurant's use of hard water not soft. They dishes are not dirty!! read more

Hands down, this is one of the best restaurants I go to with family. Service is always good and the food is always delicious.

We found First Watch on yelp this morning looking for a new breakfast spot amd we lucked out. What a great spot. Heather was a very good server and she took care of the kids. My wife had the Turkey avocado benedict and she loved it, along with a Cinnybun type pancake. I had the spinach avocado benedict and it was very tasty and fresh. All the food was tasty and fresh! Oh, I also had to try the lemon ricotta pancakes, even though I could not finish them, they were a nice Italian twist and very refreshing. I think we fpuns a new regular Sunday breakfast spot! Thanks First Watch for being on point! UPDATE: We have been back three times now and enjoyed every time. Thanks guys. read more

Good visit to First Watch. Staff was friendly and kind. I got there a little early. So I enjoyed a coffee while I waited for a friend. Their traditional breakfast is always a classic choice. Your choice of meat and style of eggs. Their bacon is always a good choice and artisan bread is super yummy. Their service is quick and good quality ingredients. read more

Last Sunday at 10:30 my daughter and I decided to go to first watch after church. I dropped my daughter off while I parked. We didn't want to wast time . We also didn't want to spend all day there .... she put our name and said it would be 15 minutes . We waited 45 minutes while people just walking up got seated!!! I was getting irritated . So I asked what was the deal? Why was it taking so long for us to get seated ? She said oh these people checked in on line !!!!!!!! It would of been nice if we would of been told that .By the time we sat down it was about an hour. Feeling very irritated . I wanted to leave. We waited about 22 minutes before we received drinks . It was not a nice calm fun breakfast that we wanted and expected . Not going back! PS: she just should of told us about the on line check in. Up front so we could of left and not wasted our morning ! I can't even remember that food, I was so frustrated!!!! read more

Always has been and will be a top breakfast choice. Love their healthy fresh green juice options and avocado toast for breakfast. Yuuuppp

It's a little bit pricey, but the food is fresh and healthy, totally worth it. This is our go-to breakfast place when we're looking for a good, healthy, yet substantial breakfast. read more

Food is so good and fresh. Always great customer service. Love the fresh juices and the place is always clean

Delicious food but, I wish there was more to the breakfast. you can't get just hasbrowns, pancakes and sausage. You order a pancake and that's all you get. The juices are really good too, long wait times. read more

Three times in three days! The breakfast tacos were amazing.. subbed the black beans for their fantastic potatoes. The service is incredible! The people who work here care about what they are doing. I am just visiting but will be back soon. Putting yourself on the waitlist was really helpful our second day when the wait was about an hour. But they move through the line pretty quickly. read more

Food and service was great here. A fast paced breakfast place with a lot of different options to choose from. Everyone is very friendly also little to no wait time as well. I recommend this establishment for sure!!!! read more

OMG! Not one to give 5 stars to a breakfast place, after all they are pretty much all alike right? We rate them for the quantity of food, not the quality. In Phoenix for a sons college soccer match, First Watch was just steps from our hotel. There were maybe 10 people ahead of us on a Saturday morning, but we were seated after a short wait. The food is prepared with locally grown and raised ingredients. The portions don't make you feel like you need a nap at 10:00am. But wow, soooooo good. Our waiter asked if we wanted his "top 3 favorites", we ordered two of them. I had the "Trifecta" 2 farm raised eggs (yes, there is a difference), amazing side of pork sausage ( you could select bacon or chicken sausage) and a light, fluffy Belgian Waffle made with a vanilla bean mix, served with a side on homemade jam. Holy smokes. My wife went with the blueberry pancakes, again, over the top good. Add a friendly, efficient wait staff and this place is on another planet! read more

Yelp you didn't do me wrong..... this place really is outstanding. We were here on a Thursday morning, and it was packed. The food is super fresh, and well done. The server recommended a freshly pressed juice to my husband, and he took her up on it. It was amazeballs! It had Orange, Ginger, Beet, Tumeric, and Lemon juices. I don't drink a lot of sweet juices, but he pressed a sip on me, and holy moly, it was good. I joked to him that all it needed was a shot of vodka, and you would have a master crafted cocktail. The service was excellent, and we didn't want for anything. I was quite happy with my omelette, although I found it a bit odd that it was served with salad greens, instead of potatoes. My husband had huevos rancheros tostadas. He was all about the clean plate club. From what I gather, this is one of a small chain of breakfast and lunch restaurants in the Phoenix area. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here. read more

Food was fabulous! Our server was so friendly and attentive! Will go here again the next time I'm in Phoenix! Hopefully they will be opening some in Wisconsin soon! read more

I had an egg-ceptional breakfast. Assume I said that deadpan. It was a quality meal with obviously fresh ingredients. I truly appreciated the sense of gastric and spiritual fullness that fell over me on the walk back to my car. 4/5 read more
