The only thing good about it I would say was the hostess when she greeted me as soon as I came through the door but the food was not up to par I ordered French toast a lot of spots in the French toast was still wet so I left over half of it on my plate I asked for over medium well eggs I got over easy extremely runny I was so upset I couldn't finish my chocolate milk, that I ordered and paid $15 still the cashier asked me how it was I told him it was not good and he still charged me I had no compensation I will not return to that restaurant... the same Hostess did notice I was in a time crunch since I am a driver she tried to offer me something different but I had to leave it was too late kudos to the hostess she was extremely nice but I still will not return just because the food was not up to par and the cashier, he didn't even smile and he was no help.... : (.... read more

I took my dad here for breakfast when he came into town for the morning. I actually took him here based solely on the location because it was close to my house. The food is ok, I had the "traditional" breakfast with scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and potatoes. The egg were just ok, didnt really have flavor and were kind of dry, I wonder do they add milk to their eggs? read more

The thing I like the most about this place is their menu. They have fatty stuff for people who like fatty stuff and LOTS of options for people who like healthy stuff. Prices are reasonable, the staff is welcoming extremely accommodating. I've eaten here with a large group, a small group with kids, and just by myself and each time I've received amazing service. Added to my list of favorites :D read more

Solid place to grab a classic breakfast. Nice selection with seasonal choices. Had the Pumpkin Pancakes with some herbal tea.

Good breakfasts options. They have your classics and some tasty healthy alternatives too.

Was impressed as soon as I walked in: the lobby and restaurant are super clean, and there's a warmth about the place (think "Cracker Barrel" but fresher, lighter, and not cluttered). Menu is very impressive, clean eating options, and full allergen info on the website. Had the chicken salad spinach salad (fresh and yummy) and the kale tonic on the spring menu (tastes awesome, close your eyes if you need to!). Service was super fast and prices extremely affordable. I'm from out of town, wish I had one in my backyard! read more

See all

Yummy local food with great service and nice atmosphere! We got the salmon omelet and you pick two salad and half sandwich. Quick also.

I love this place! The food is healthy, fresh, reasonably priced, and DELICIOUS. This place gets busy but they have a large community table for those dinning solo or with a friend. I went on a busy Sunday morning and was in and out in 30 minutes because of the community table. Waitress was friendly and helpful too! Also, the fresh juices are so refreshing and hydrating. My favorite item is the avocado toast, I could eat it everyday. read more

Happy we found First Watch on Yelp. Service above and beyond, and an avocado toast to die for

love this location. good ambiance and customer service. i tried their barbacoa benedict and it was delish. my friend, however, had the smoked salmon benedict and was not impressed as it was quite bland. read more

Kianna is the best server!! Had the sausage and mushroom hash with kale tonic. Very good

I decided to grab a nice breakfast before I said goodbye to Phoenix and hopped on a plane. And First Watch was the best decision I could have made! Their toast was buttered and melting when it got to me. The bread was a thick whole wheat. The strawberry jam that came with it was very very delicious and sweet. My omelette, 'The Works', was really good. It had a lot of adds ins but somehow they all worked really well. The tomatoes tasted very fresh. I'm not sure how much I enjoyed the sour cream on top but honestly that was so trivial compared to how good everything else was. I got the potatoes instead of the side salad and those were flavored really well. You could eat them plain or with ketchup. They also gave me a large jug of cold water that was very refreshing. Also the staff was just fantastic! At least 3 staff members came up to me and made sure I was alright. I could tell that they wanted me to have a great time. Their service was remarkable and they were really going above and beyond! I'm definitely going to look for one of these in Michigan when I get home. read more

Food always solid! New decor looks cool, but seating is uncomfortable. I liked it better pre-remodel.

Food is great. Service has always been slow...even when the restaurant is not busy. Haven't been back in months. however, the last 2 times i have gone, the service has been much quicker so i increase from 3 stars to 4! and downtown location is across the street from golds gym downtown so i may frequent much more. read more

Best breakfast/brunch place since I lived in Palo Alto in the 1980s. Different types of dishes. WHOLE GRAINS,which I love. Great service. Not cheap, but worth it! read more

this place is great -- breakfast is fast and hot and (best of all) wholesome!!! the potatoes are baked, not fried and they are always accommodating if you don't want meat or extra this or that, no problem! and I am always greeted by the happy, smiling faces of the friendly staff! sometimes the service has been slow because they are training new staffers, but if they don't meet their high standards of fast and friendly they're great about letting those people go so the rest of the team isn't taken down. I love this location! keep doing an outstanding job! read more

Our first visit--loved it and we'll be back. The food was prepared exactly as ordered. We love having a coffee pot on the table. Overall, a great breakfast experience. read more

It was good but not particularly impressed. Got the breakfast scramble, definitely something I could have made myself at home. Biggest complaint is their potatoes! Oh my goodness you might as well order a side of fried onions. I was pulling out huge chunks of onion and the intense flavor of onion was impossible to make with ketchup or hot sauce. And apparently they are completely unable to make a side of potatoes without onions because they're pre mixed together. They were atrocious. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning. Seated quicklyfor being a bigger party. Food came out fast and delicious well be returning.

Perfect place for breakfast/brunch. Waffles are delicious and the service is outstanding.

So we sat on the patio, asked for five minutes to look at the menu and the waitress never came back. After 20+ minutes we just left. I'm done with first watch. Seriously garbage service. read more

This is my favorite First Watch Restaurant! I recently took out of town visitors to have brunch there, and they did not disappoint. Food was great, the service at door was very welcoming and best of all my avocado toast was the best of any of the other First Watch restaurant! The five-star rating would of been the complete experience, however, the waitress may have been having a tough day. read more

Fantastic! Had the chickachanga and it was perfect. My bride had eggs with the avacado toast and she loved it. Friendly fast service in a pleasant environment. Oh, and the root juice was awesome too! We'll be back for sure. read more

Food has been inconsistent but worse thing is the response from the restaurant when you leave feedback. I left a review and received a note from the restaurant with an apology for my experience. They offered to send me a certificate for another meal. Never sent it and never responded to me about it. Not okay. Instead of a positive outcome, they created a negative one with the lack of follow through...not okay to treat people that way...especially as often as I used to eat there. read more

Yummy breakfast menu. We had the breakfast sandwich on brioche bun. Delicious. And carrot cake pancake. Lots of other fun choices. Great spot. read more

I ate there for the first time on sat morning and it was soo good we went back on Sunday morning I love their food its so healthful compared to other breakfast spots in the area and the prices are comparable! read more

I like them best for those potatoes, don't go close to closing they'll give burned hard potatoes that were reheated, for breakfast or lunch those potatoes are on point! My favorite location is the one near the US Airways center read more

What a great place to eat, food was great. I had the eggs benedict and had a special request to add spinach to it. They said no problem. Was very good. Portions just right. Very good. read more

Came to First Watch after a bad experience with The good egg. 1000x better. Unlike other places, the food isn't greasy and doesn't give me a stomach ache afterwards. Lots of options and you can order breakfast or lunch any time of the day! Our waitress told us: "If we can do it, we will". She even let us order the Turkey Dill Crepegg even though it's not on the menu any more. I will keep coming here! I recommend it any day. I'm just bummed they close at 2 30 :( read more

Amazing and cheap breakfast. Everything was fresh and delicious. You get your own personal coffee pot for your table. The service was outstanding! Our waitress was so sweet and even offered a to go cup for my coffee. read more

First Watch is a UPGRADE Breakfast, Bunch and lunch everything tastes GOOD fresh and HOT and it's not loud and uncomfortable, waitress are all nice and polite and happy serve you with smile, not like DENNY's on 7th St Camelback or IHop on Central Phoenix . Even BETTER than MATT'S BIG BREAKFAST downtown Phoenix, no hard uncomfortable chairs to sit in while your being rush. Finally find a descent place :-) . read more

Good food, not located on 61 and Thomas, the address is 3rd and Thomas. Key West Crepegg, is really good.

Breakfast yesterday before spring training baseball. Treated my wife's cousins who loved the quinoa salad and biscuits and turkey sausage gravy. read more

Great breakfast spot. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and stopped by for breakfast. The service was excellent. And the food came out quick. We loved it! I had the BLT eggs benedict and they were delicious! read more

This is alcohol free zone but their juices are out of this place, I had kale tonic drink and it was delicious. I had veggie omelette with potatoes, tastes great and light. I will come back again. read more

Great atmosphere and great food. Kids said their chocolate chip pancakes were better than mom's.

We have visited First Watch with my wife last week and we loved all about it. I've been there some time ago, so I was pleasantly surprised with the new look. We tend to be picky when it comes to food but having travelled throughout the states this summer this was the best lunch we've had so far. All the organic ingredients and the taste makes it a top-notch meal! Customer service is very good too, friendly staff, they don't make you leave the table once you've eaten and paid, as opposed to many other places. read more

My girlfriend and I love first watch we went to this morning for breakfast I was going to leave a five star review however the server didn't even know anything about the reviews and how good the restaurant was doing which I thought was not very good so based on customer service I'm going to leave at three sorry first watch read more

First Watch isn't too bad a place for breakfast or lunch. I was there just the other day, and had an enjoyable meal. There was a bit of a wait to get a table, as I went on a Sunday, but it was definitely worth it. The waiters politely directed my party to some free newspapers and told us a table would clear up soon. About fifteen minutes later we were seated and able to begin ordering our meals. I chose to have a small stack of two blueberry pancakes, with some hot chocolate to drink and a side of first watch potatoes. When I ordered this meal, there were a few different things I was looking for: the fluffiness and fruitiness of the pancakes, the sweetness of the hot chocolate, and the firmness and saltiness of the potatoes. Overall my meal was enjoyable, but there were some portions that left me wanting. I'll start with the drink, since that arrived first. The hot chocolate was, as would be expected, hot. It was fairly decent, but it took some caramel coffee creamer on the table to put it above par. Before the creamer it was sweet, but just not quite where it should be. After the added caramel flavoring, however, it was quite delicious. The blueberry pancakes were decent, but not the best. They were only sort of fluffy, which is definitely not how I like them. In addition, the blueberries were hardly noticeable. It was almost as though I had gone and ordered some of the regular pancakes... Not that they were terrible; they just weren't what I was expecting. The potatoes, on the other hand, were excellent! Soft and mushy on the inside, yet crispy on the outside, they were well-seasoned. They were easily enjoyed without adding any sauces or salt or pepper. They may be considered a little dry when eaten this way, but they certainly don't lack in any flavoring. Just to sum things up a bit, my overall experience at First Watch was satisfying. The menu is worth sampling a few times, and the wait staff isn't too bad. I will definitely be going back sometime - maybe not right away, but it's an option. read more

Great service and food! The menu is leans (no pun) toward the healthy side, but there are hearty items like "Bubby's Benny", which is sausage, sausage gravy, biscuits and potatoes. The perfect breakfast for a hangover! Only knock for early risers is that it doesn't open till 7:00am on the weekends. read more
