This was our first time here: First off, service is amazing. Eli was our server and I was impressed by his fun and welcoming nature. He gets 5 stars for sure! The menu has a perfect assortment of options. Food was fresh and came out in a very reasonable amount of time. We enjoyed the pumpkin pancakes, chickichanga, and the works omelette. Both had coffee and bill was $33. Decor was modern country, very cute and not cluttered like many restaurants with similar motif. We didn't know the place was here, glad we got the mailer with coupon! read more

3.5 stars The food here is not "boring". I think the first reviewer was a little harsh. This is a decent breakfast, brunch, & lunch place. The omelets are tasty. I thought I remember them being bigger than the omelet from my last visit. Hmm oh well. They get your order right when you customize & add/subtract ingredients. After having the potatoes at Scramble I fear First Watch's will never compare though. The Floridian French Toast is really good! You get 2 or 3 pieces of sourdough bread with wheat germ, sliced banana, sliced kiwi, & berries. YUM! It's tasty & it at least feels healthy because of the fruit lol Last time I was here I got the mango iced tea. Pretty good. I liked it. read more

We found this place while we were in town for Spring Training. Not only was the food some of the best breakfast combos we've ever had, the service was second to none! Jontae was our server and she was full of smiles and sunshine! If I lived here I would come every week! read more

First Watch - Cucumber Mint Refresher - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was visiting Phoenix and saw that this place had some really good reviews, so I thought we'd give it a try. We got here around 10:30 on a Saturday morning and the wait was about 30 minutes. We were seated faster than I expected just based on the number of people waiting outside. I got to chatting with some people next to me who are regulars and spoke very highly of the place, which is always a good sign! The food here was REALLY good. The portions were very generous; they weren't kidding about the size of the pancakes. I also liked that their menu had some healthier options- it was all heavy stuff covered in gravy. I got a blueberry pancake and yogurt/granola. I definitely could not finish everything. The pancakes were fluffy and absolutely amazing. Also, everything that came to our table was super fresh. Next time I'm back in Phoenix, I will probably make another stop here, but maybe I'll see if they take reservations. Definitely worth it - and the prices were really reasonable too. read more

Recently, my friend & I come to eat breakfast here at least once a week. We absolutely love it here because of the insanely great service and the insanely great food served. The service is always so friendly and welcoming. Mind you, that this location does get busy, when you walk in you are greeted and welcomed like family. Each server I have ever gotten has been so helpful and impressive. They are great at friendly conversation while handling multiple tables at a time. Not once, has my beverage ever been empty. The food that comes out of their kitchen never fails to satisfy anyone. If you need a home cooked meal, then come here because that's exactly what they'll give you. Aside from the food being tasty and savory, it will not make you feel sluggish and slow. Unlike most places, First Watch actually cares about what they serve you, only giving out fresh, organic foods. Once you finish, the food actually energizes you and does not weigh you down. It's amazing! I love everyone at First Watch and if I could I would give y'all 6 stars. Keep up the great work, and thanks for making the environment so enjoyable :] read more

Everyone is always nice! The staff is always in a good mood and makes you feel welcomed! We enjoy our our Sunday brunches here!

Came here for my first time to treat my mom to a nice(health..ierr) type breakfast becuase of her dietary restrictions. I work 3 jobs and rarely have any free time to do anything nice so when I finally get to, I GREATLY appreciate good customer service. Not only was the food great but the customer service was excellent. Everyone was very helpful but wanted to give an extra shout out to Eli who was our server and went above and beyond to make sure my mom and I were taken care of. And YES (by the way..) the FOOD WAS delicious. AMAZING french toast and their skillets are delicious. read more

First Watch - First time here. My mom and I had an amzing time enjoying some amazing food and amazing service. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First Watch on Black Canyon Hwy in Phoenix has amazing service and very good food! They're worth the drive. You won't be disappointed. Coincidentally, I went there b/c it was right next door to the Courtyard Marriott. I have been back several times and continue to receive excellent customer service and delicious food. My favorite breakfast is their Tri-Athlete omelette; which I hesitatingly tried b/c it was a healthy choice but fell in love with it! Wonderfully roasted vegetables in an egg-white only omelette topped with salsa...muahhh, magnifico!! For lunch I had their Pecan Dijon chicken salad...wow, another amazing dish full of flavors...good to the last drop! And lastly, their customer service...always SPOT ON! Once we had only 15 minutes. Informed the always-welcoming staff and VOILA, an excellent breakfast in exactly 15 minutes. I'll be back soon! Thank you First Watch on Black Canyon Hwy!! You're awesome :) read more

We came here on a Monday morning around 9-9:30. There was no wait. Our sever Jared was the best. My meal was just enough. I had the pumpkin pancake. The syrup was served in a glass bottle that had been warmed. Loved that touch. I am told the crepes were light and wonderful. My sweetie loved his potato dish. I'm a huge fan of breakfast. This place served both breakfast and lunch dishes. If ever in Phoenix again I will be back. read more

My girlfriend and I consider the one at 32nd and Camelback " our go to place." Half way between our houses. Great service, delicious food, nice atmosphere. No one rushes us during the week. read more

I first tried first watch in Scottsdale and the service there was amazing. However this location is 5 minutes away from my house and is beyond amazing. The service is spectacular and the taste of the food is one I can only get here. All servers make me feel comfortable and joke around while being professional. The environment is quiet and relaxing. I highly recommend everything on this menu especially any of the hash skillets as well as the Belgian waffle. I'm glad I have a great place that never fails right by my home. I can't wait to continue to have lunch & brunch here. read more

We really enjoyed the First Watch restaurant . This is our third time eating breakfast at this establishment. Last week I had a breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun with chopped greens, avocado, bacon, gruyere cheese and an egg. I enjoyed every bite. My husband had the avocado and cheese omelette and no complaints out of him. We also ordered two iced teas, and our meals and tip were close to a $30 breakfast, which is why I scored First Watch a score of four out of five. I had three requests for my sandwich: that that egg be medium pouched, the bacon crispy and the bun grilled and everything I asked for was not overlooked. I'd certainly give it a try. The staff is very friendly and you will note by the crowd how popular this restaurant is. read more

The menu is spectacular! Their juices are very yummy and refreshing. My friends and I all had very good meals - the market skillet! For sure adding this place to my list of Phoenix eats! read more

This is a terrific place for brunch. The food uses local produce and organic ingredients to make breakfast and lunches that are all kinds of delicious. The staff seated us promptly and we got coffee - damned fine coffee - right away. Although the traditional breakfasts looked good as did the omelets but the French toast caught our eye. The hubby had the traditional French toast and I opted for the Floridian French toast that came on brioche and piled high with berries, kiwi and bananas. It was fabulous with the pure organic maple syrup. A fantastic treat and a brunch to start a lazy Sunday. Well worth it. Great food, staff and use of local ingredients. I also love that this is a local restaurant and not a chain. It is worth any wait. read more

First Watch - Floridian french toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Oh it was just awful. I used to have great memories of fresh and tasty food from years ago. This time was not like that. Went on Christmas Eve day around 10:00 am. Cold food! Everything was bland and not quality. Portions tiny and overpriced. Never going to any of the chains again. read more

So good I love the Monterey club. Super busy in the morning though. The line usually goes out the door so if you don't mind. 30-40 minute wait then this is the spot. The wait is definitely worth it though. Food comes out fresh and delicious every time. Only problem is the water is definitely from the tap and ALWAYS has floated in it. The chocolate milk is bomb though. A pretty good environment for the kids as well. read more

Food and service are great but Regional Manager Jennifer will NOT turn the LOUD MUSIC down. If you are planning a meeting don't schedule it at this restaurant!!!! read more

This place was adorably decorated and had a menu full of healthy but delicious options! The market skillet hash was one of the best skillets I've ever had and had a very tasty combo of veggies. The Floridian French Toast and egg benedict were also good, but the market skillet hash is a unique and flavorful dish. The juices are also fun to try although they didn't taste much different from anything you would get at a local juice bar. read more

Fantastic breakfast! Huge menu, something for everyone. Service was excellent, and nice decor. Highly recommend.

My family and I were visiting Phoenix, so I was looking for a good breakfast place to eat at. I saw that the First Watch had great reviews on Yelp. I go there on. Sunday morning around 9:30am, and we were seated right away. I ordered the Bacado (bacon and avacado omelette), my four year old son ordered the kid's meal pancakes, and my husband ordered the fruit and yogurt parfait. All of us loved our meals. My husband said the granola was delicious because it was homemade, so we purchased a bag of granola from them. Excellent customer service too! I love going to a restaurant with good customer service! Thank you First Watch for the great experience! read more

First Watch - About to dig in to this nice breakfast at First Watch! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This the worst place order food for delivery and was missing a whole entrée. I will never give this place my money ever again. Called the restaurant and want me to come a pick up the food and then told me to contact door dash to refund my money when it was not DoorDash's fault and they should have refunded my money. DONT ORDER FROM THEM HORRIBLE. read more

Who would have ever thought of bacon and cheddar pancakes! Had to try them and I was not disappointed. Salty and sweet - dessert and breakfast all in one. The service was a little lacking so that reduced my review. Hubby prefers Matt's BB but wasn't disappointed. read more

PHOENIX, AZ: Just finished a pleasant brunch at First Watch. The cute little cafe serves fresh breakfast/lunch fare and has some nice options. I had the eggs Benedict with ham, tomato and added avocado. It was a 3-4 star experience. The toast was a little burnt and the ham was a little overpowering. Otherwise it was good. I also tried the sourdough French toast and it was Excellent-5 stars. Delicious berry sauce, cinnamon accents, and fresh butter. It was wonderful and highly recommended. read more

Great breakfast with great coffee and service food arrives hot and prompt even when there at capacity.

Great place!! Thank you fellow YELPERS for the recommendation. Server brings a glass milk bottle of water to the table. Flavored creams are a nice touch. Great benedicts!! I had the Florentine, and my husband had the salmon benedict. Rustic , yet modern setting.. Really good. read more

Bacado. Yes, you read that correctly.... The "Bacado". It is a glorious concoction consisting of an avocado and bacon omelette with cheese on top and served with an English muffin and country fried potatoes. Decent black coffee and good service. Delicious. read more

The turkey burger is great. Service was terrific...everyone's plate looked delicious.

There is no better breakfast to be served in Phoenix. The menu has most of the old standbys as well as novel breakfast items. Service is fine, the portions are fresh, and the servings quite generous. The atmosphere is American Diner, but unless you're trying to impress a business associate this should not be an issue - you can always go over to the Biltmore, spend twice as much, and eat the same food in smaller quantities. I-17 on/off is easy, parking is more than adequate, and the neighborhood is all office buildings and motels. Bottom line: First Watch is a safe choice for breakfast/brunch. read more

The food here was delicious and nutritious. I was pleasantly surprised to find this place just across the parking lot from our hotel. read more

We come to AZ to visit our kids and aways come for breakfast, it's our favorite place!! Thank you and can't wait to come back!!

A great healthy breakfast close to the highway and hotels. I like breakfast, that's duly noted in many of my reviews. This one hit the spot. Think 'Perkins' or 'Bob Evans' and better than 'Denny's' read more

I've been to another First Watch location that I really was not a fan of. This location changed my mind. Met my parents here for a late lunch. We just missed the lunch crowd and we seated right away. My mother likes privacy so she asked if we could sit far back in the restaurant; they were very kind and seated us in the back. Being on a new diet, I wanted to see if I can do some protein style breakfast/lunch that wasn't too bad. I couldn't believe all the choices I had to order from. I got a chorizo/avocado omelette that was just outstanding. Both my parents love their food and to top it off, we had a great server! read more

While visiting Phoenix, my companion chose to try First Watch since it was a stone's throw from our hotel. We were not disappointed. The specialty juice drinks are delicious (we sampled all 3) and the menu is rife with delectable descriptions of the food that hardly do the food justice. From tomato basil soup and half sandwiches to pancakes and stone-cut oatmeal we were taken with First Watch and due to the phenomenal service I expect it to be our "First" choice every time we visit! read more

Soooo good! The food was fresh and tasty. My scrambled eggs were some of the best I've ever had. Pancakes were good and the iced tea too. My son had the egg sandwich and loved it as well. We will be back! read more

We had an outstanding meal today, and the service was really great (thank you Travis for your suggestions and for taking such good care of us!!). I had the Chickichanga - a breakfast burrito with chorizo, spiced chicken, avocado, onion, cheese, with verde sauce and sour cream. Delicious! It came with a small cup of fresh fruit and some fried potatoes, also yummy. My husband had the BLTE (a BLT with a fried egg) which was huge and delicious. Crispy bacon, fresh bread and greens, and homemade chicken noodle soup. My son had the Trifecta - with French toast instead of waffle even though it's not on the menu. He says thumbs up! My mom also had the Trifecta and says the bacon was perfect, the French toast was great, and the scrambled eggs were also quite good. We recommend this place and will be back soon! read more

Super good and healthy food! Honestly kind of expensive for such little portions. Big fan of the featured menu items every month I believe. Love that I can check in on yelp before getting there to cut down my wait time a bit! read more

Excellent food and service every time I go! Probably one of my favorite brunch spots in town!
