Really great food all around here! The Pumpkin Spice Donuts were probably the best donuts I've had in a while I'd go back just for those. The AM Superfood bowl was great and everyone else enjoyed their meal too. Portions are pretty large. The drinks were great too I'd recommend trying one of them and I would want to try the specialty coffees next time. It was a nice setting for brunch and super busy, the service was friendly but spread very thin which was unfortunate. read more

First Watch updates its chef-driven seasonal menu five times a year, focusing on fresh, thematic ingredients for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. The current early-2026 menu features the return of the B.E.C. (Bacon, Egg & Cheddar) sandwich, the new Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash, and seasonal sweets like Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast. I usually always order the BLT Eggs Benedict; it's probably my favorite breakfast item they serve. However, the picture on the seasonal menu looked so good I had to give it a try: tender steak, potatoes, peppers, and onions, topped with feta, eggs, and a vibrant, garlicky green chimichurri sauce. I've got to say, I now have a new favorite dish, and I think they should consider adding it to the menu permanently. read more

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

Not sure if it's this location in particular or just the overall quality of the franchise going down but this was the worst experience I've had at First Watch. I rested the Bacado omelette. Super bland. Only the bacon had any flavor. The potatoes were revolting. They were tossed in oil that was too hot thus resulting in some pieces being burnt to a crisp and others being undercooked. The entirety of the potatoes tasted like burnt oil and I couldn't eat them. I being this to the attention of the server and the solution was simply to bring me back a larger order of the same freaking burnt potatoes. I complain once more and then I'm told to get another side. Apparently whipping up another order of potatoes is too difficult or complicated for the kitchen. I hear them in the kitchen Laughing it off like I'm the problem. Listen when your potatoes are one of your staple items you better make sure they are on point. Service was unimpressive. Very little to no effort was made to remedy the situation. Manager did not even bother to stop by the table to even say anything. Mind you I was literally the first customer in the door and the place is completely empty. If this is the effort you put on your very first customer you might as well not open and stay shut. I am beyond disappointed and will not be returning to this location. I encourage upper management to take a close look at how this location is being operated because this location will cost you customers. read more

First Watch - Bacado omelette with a side of breakfast potatoes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Apologies so hungry attacked the food without a picture this time. I love this location cute and great service. I am already a fan of First Watch but their new seasonal steak hash with chimichurri sauce is divine. I ordered my beloved ham and buyer's cheese omelet. They took it off the menu but it can still be ordered. My husband ordered the steak hash. I wasn't in the mood for that much flavor variety (mistake). We were both only eating half our breakfast - but I finish the other half of his so delicious hash since it wouldn't reheat as easily as the omelette. Planning to return frequently since it is only here for a few months. My friend loved the farmhouse hash and plans to find the CA Riverside location. read more

Wow! This restaurant was busy when I visited. Worth the 20 min wait? I'd say so. The food was delicious. Service was fast and efficient. The interior is nice and relaxed. I think the million dollar bacon was one of the best ones I've ever had. Limited parking spots in the plaza on busy times. read more

There are so many great breakfast restaurants around Phoenix, though when it comes to First Watch, I have learned it is a chain of breakfast restaurants that is consistent, offers great food, and has some wonderful deals here and there. While I typically frequent other First Watch locations, my wife and I stopped here yesterday morning on the way to do some errands in the area. This was our first time visiting this location. It had a large indoor seating area as well as outdoor seating. The waiting area inside was rather small with overflow to outside. The staff were nice and welcoming. First Watch serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch. They have a Jump Start menu with unique dishes along with a juice bar, iced coffee, breakfast cocktails, healthier side dishes, EGG-sclusives, omelettes & frittatas, from the griddle items, power bowls, salads, sandwiches, a kids' menu, and small plates and sides. My wife and I chose to each get one of the two classic favorites on the menu. My wife ordered the Traditional, which includes two cage-free eggs any style with your choice of bacon, smoked ham, chicken sausage patties, turkey or pork sausage links, and it is served with whole grain artisan toast, all-natural house preserves and fresh, seasoned potatoes. I chose to order the Tri-Fecta, which includes two fresh cage-free eggs any style with either a light and airy Belgian waffle or a multigrain pancake plus your choice of bacon, chicken sausage patty, turkey or pork sausage link. We both ordered our meals with fruit instead of meat. The pancake was large and warm (easily melting the butter on top). The potatoes were tasty, and the fruit, toast, and eggs complemented the meal for both of us. As there was a 15-20 minute wait today, we used the app and checked in online in advance. This allowed us to jump to early in the line. The service was good and food arrived rather quickly with everything correct on our orders. Special tip...go to https://firstwatch.com and at the bottom right of the page where it says "Love Brunch? Join the club," enter your e-mail address and eventually your birthday to start getting Buy One Get One Free promotions during the year at random times including around your birthday. Nothing better than a free brunch! read more

Soooooo disappointed. Quality of ingredients has definitely gone way downhill. Coffee was horrible. Sourdough toast was white wonder bread. Bacon was very thin strips-the kind you get at Denny's. Pancake wasn't fluffy. These are things you expect at an IHOP or Denny's. Served apologized but it's not her fault. She blamed inflation. First Watch CEO had a $11.5 million dollar compensation package this year. It's not inflation. It's companies serving low quality ingredients at crazy prices. The same breakfast is half the cost at Denny's. If you want quality ingredients at decent prices try Butterflied's or Butter's. read more

Stopped here for breakfast and so glad we did! Ordered the banana brittle French toast and it was worth every calorie. Loaded with blueberries and bananas with a caramelized drizzle. Also ordered the morning meditation beverage. Very refreshing. Food came out hot and fast. 2nd breakfast item was the power wrap. Good but stick with the French toast!! Our server Angelique was very sweet and helpful (ask for her! ) we will be back read more

I love FW. So I stopped into this Arcadia location to quickly grab a to-go bite to eat. Upon entry I noticed the set-up here is a little different. Very cozy, nice lighting - staff was quick at servicing me. I did recognize some staff were a little more preoccupied in sharing a little gossip - but figured; that's what they do here - so I pretended to not hear. I ordered my food with the tall gentleman and received my to-go order (drink and meal) within 8 minutes. In the meantime I washed my hands in their bathroom and noticed there were 4 single-use bathrooms labeled M (Men), W (Women), M/W, M/W which I assume was men/women. I happen to peek into the M (Men's) because I'm always curious to see if the restaurants I visit ever think about Single Fathers or Father Daughter time and to my disappointment- there was no baby changing station in the M (Men's) Restroom. There was one in the W (Women's) Restroom - but in most cases in society- that's to be expected. Back to my order. I purchased a Quinoa Pesto Bowl and upon receiving it - I quickly noticed it was lacking in portion size. I've visited a couple other First Watch locations and this portion size seemed a lot smaller than other locations - I'm not sure if it was a fluke or may e portion size was smaller in this area because folks are on specific portion control diets? Lol. Welp, this was my first visit to this location and while the flavors as a whole were spot on (once mixed - the temp of the food was at best a little warm (I prefer a hot plate; but I figured since it was placed in a to-go container, that was the culprit of cool food). Hopefully next time, both portions and temp will be on point. The question is: Would I recommend this particular First Watch? My answer; Yes. The facilities were clean & while a few of the staff could transform their gossiping into positivity; I believe this place would make a great place to enjoy a delicious meal. read more

FirstWatch: Worth the Hype--Even All the Way from Guam! This was my first time visiting FirstWatch, and I can confidently say it lived up to all the hype! I had heard great things about it all the way from Guam, so I was excited to finally try it--and it did not disappoint. The breakfast was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. From the eggs to the pancakes, everything tasted homemade and high-quality. The menu has great variety, and there's something for everyone. What really stood out was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel genuinely welcome. For a first-time visit, it felt like I was already a regular. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for the portions and quality you get. It's rare to find a place that checks all the boxes: great food, great service, and great value. FirstWatch made a fantastic first impression. I'll definitely be back! read more

Excellent food. Good prices. Great ambience. Not too loud like some other places. We tried another place down the road and they required valet parking and it was so loud you couldn't even talk. First Watch ftw! read more

It was okay. I enjoyed my fresh juice and Quinoa bowl. My Mother asked for a biscuit and it came out burnt and hard twice. The waitress came off condescending when we asked about it. She was "nicety" that nice nasty. The booths need to be cleaned. They were stained from wear and tear. Other than that we had a pleasant breakfast. read more

We visited First Watch today with a party of seven and were seated right away at the community table, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the service was slow. It took quite a while for our server to even take care of us. Throughout the meal, the server (Sol) came across as rude, even rolling her eyes at us multiple times, and we often had to flag her down. We were left without water refills and waiting for boxes. The food quality was uneven. Most of the breakfast potatoes were burnt, and the biscuits and gravy weren't very good. At the end, I mentioned our concerns to the manager, but the response felt kinda dismissive. We came in expecting a nice brunch, but left feeling disappointed. It might help future customers if service and food consistency improve. read more

I cannot speak higher about our experience at First Watch- everything was perfect. The project sunrise coffee is some of my favorite ever, it's perfectly balanced and just strong enough. Our server Kate was amazing, she was so kind and bubbly, gave us amazing recommendations and really took time to make sure we had a great experience. We modified multiple items (cheesy eggs and grits, gluten free french toast, and extra crispy million dollar potatoes) and every single item came out perfectly. The food always tastes very fresh and flavorful so huge props to the kitchen staff. I would recommend first watch to anyone in the area and can't wait to return again soon! Thank you for such an amazing experience! read more

My overall experience here was not good. Our server Albert was almost to the point of rude. He acted like it was a bother to take care of us.

I came here as a group of 5 around 12pm. The wait wasn't that bad, about 20 mins. The service was so quick and very very polite. My whole table LOVED every dish they ordered. I had the best smoked salmon hollandaise entree. I also ordered a blueberry muffin, the waitress asked me if I wanted it grilled, she recommended it so I ordered it that way. I've never had a grilled muffin but that was amazing and buttery. I also tried my friend's pecan pancake.. also perfect! 10/10 breakfast brunch place:) read more

Girl who answered phones this snoring left me on the phone and never came back so I couldn't tell them the two things I wanted in my door dash order , why do they put lemons in all iced teas !?? Not everyone likes that ! Hot chocolate always tastes like water. They discontinued the cinnamon donuts I loved. And the door dash app. Doesn't give you the option to wrote notes !!! So u have to call every time to tell them no lemons in tea , bacon crisp. I Think I'm about done ordering here and spending lots of my money here. :( read more

I came here for brunch with a friend and I was excited for the seasonal menu dish with the pulled pork, corn flour tortillas, eggs, and potatoes. I knew the staff was under pressure and our server said they were short staffed. I didn't want to mention anything about the undercooked potatoes to them out of respect. I did ask about the tortillas because what I received was white flour tortillas. Our server was very nice and said they ran out of the corn flour tortillas and asked if I wanted multigrain toast and a substitute I said sure. She understood what a surprise and disappointment having basic flour tortillas is with a green hatch chili dish like this. Corn tortillas are always preferred in my book. The dish overall was smaller than pictured and it was bland as well. I will doctor up my leftovers when I reheat them. Other than those items, our server was so nice and she provided top notch service. read more

Yes! Yes! Yesssss! First watch coming through with the deliciousness! We decided to enjoy a family brunch at this location and try out a few items on their new fall menu. It did not disappoint. I tried the new cranberry crush juice, topped with a cinnamon stick... ooooo I am telling you... the flavors pair so wonderfully together. Very refreshing yet warm with those seasonal vibes. Of course we ordered the million dollar bacon, 2 orders actually:) I had the elevated egg sandwich, my boyfriend the chickichanga and my daughter had the eggs and bacon kids meal. Everything was superb! Their breakfast potatoes have to be some of the most delicious I've had. Our waitress was fantastic, which helped soften the blow of the 20 min wait time, even after being on the waitlist and 45 min wait for our food. Do plan to check in ahead of time and be prepared for a wait but, I promise it's all worth it. Perfect opportunity to slow down, enjoy a nice conversation with your loved ones and enjoy a million dollar bacon appetizer to keep you from getting hangry. read more

This location is our fav to grab some good eats. They have a nice patio area and a large dining room with lots of space between tables. The food selection is great and they usually have some sort of special menu as well. The fresh juices are awesome and I always grab one. We had the breakfast items and all of it was super fresh and tasty. The service was 100% excellent and polite. I like timing my visits here outside of the "norm but it always seems to have a nice sized crowd in the place. read more

The service and ambiance were GREAT!!! My omelette was as pretty good, but I added some salt and pepper to add to the taste.

My foodie friend, and I rolled in on a sleepy Monday morning. It was about 11 am. We were greeted immediately, and seated just as fast. Alison, my foodie friend, never disappoints on her venue choices. First Watch was awesome. Our server, Rachel (?), was friendly, and attentive. I ordered coffee, but my friend ordered Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk. After a few sips, I knew this was the drinks of gods. YOWZA. Our app was Gingerbread Spice Donuts (two dipping choices) delish. Our food order was: Smoked Salmon Benedict, a side of bacon, 1 pancake, and more. The ambiance started off quiet but as time approached the early lunch crowd, it started to be noisy. The barriers between each booth is only shoulder high so it doesn't do anything to dissipate the conversations. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to this location, AND chain restaurant. read more

We decided to try First Watch for lunch as we've only been here for their famous breakfast. I had the Cobb salad and hubs had the chicken salad. He really liked the fact that it was served on a toasted piece of bread- as well as the chicken salad itself was yummy. My Cobb salad (minus the egg) was HUGE- the waitress let me know that in the future, I can order a half salad - so take note of that. The salad was very good, I could only get thru half of it. It was served with a 'toast' that has butter and some spices on it and was really good! Service was excellent , we had iced teas to the table even before our first round was gone. We ended up getting butternut squash bisque to go as I didn't see it on the board before we ordered. We had it with our dinner and it was fantastic- creamy comfort food. read more
