Sandwich
OG R.

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.

Had an amazing experience from the services to the great food. The Drinks were strong and delicious. The service was absolutely fantastic from the hostess to the server and the food was done quickly. It was hot and delicious.

Million Dollar Bacon

The service was on point with everyone being friendly, accommodating, and professional. The food was seasoned amply and well. Besides the mis matched timing of when everything came out besides a BLT Benedict coming super late, it was a great time at this First Watch.

Ordered the Cobb salad to go. What I got vs what is pictured on the menu(website) couldn't be any more different and sad looking! There was also no avocado to be found !!!! So not worth the price! Also got the club sandwich and that was very good.

The Tri-Fecta

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!

Banana brittle French toast a must!

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

Morning Meditation: Turmeric & and whole lotta deliciousness.

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.

Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl
Tauheedah M.

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.

Floridian French Toast Million Dollar Bacon

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!

The outdoor patio is beautiful, with string lights, a brick fireplace, and surrounding trees that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's a fantastic setting for dinner, especially when the weather is nice. We had quite the spread, including the Chicken Nachitos, Green Chile Cornbread, LGO Short Rib Tacos, Ribeye Tacos, and Green Chile Burger. The nachitos were piled high with chicken, melted cheese, guacamole, fresh pico de gallo, and jalapeños. Although they're no longer listed on the current menu, I wanted to include them because they were part of our experience. I actually appreciate how Chelsea's Kitchen changes its menu over time, giving guests something different to look forward to while keeping some familiar favorites. The Green Chile Burger was another standout in presentation, featuring roasted green chiles and melted cheddar, with macaroni and cheese on the side. The short ribs and grilled ribeye came with colorful accompaniments, including guacamole, pico de gallo, and a kale salad. The Green Chile Cornbread was also beautifully presented in a small skillet with a golden crust and butter on the side. We also tried the Brussels Sprout Salad with manchego, almonds, dried fruit, and bacon, which offered a nice contrast to the heartier dishes. The cocktails were thoughtfully presented, and we finished the evening with key lime pie and a refreshing sorbet. Beyond the food, the patio is what makes Chelsea's Kitchen particularly memorable. Between the fireplace, warm lighting, and lively but comfortable atmosphere, it's the kind of place where you can easily spend an entire evening catching up with friends or family. The service here is always amazing and feels like a concierge level service. Overall, Chelsea's Kitchen offers a wonderful combination of Southwestern-inspired dishes, generous portions, and a beautiful outdoor dining experience. I especially appreciate a restaurant that continues evolving its menu rather than keeping everything the same year after year. Definitely a place worth revisiting to see what's new!

An Unforgettable Anniversary Evening at Society Swan: A Five-Course Wine Dinner with Kerr Cellars…read more We had the pleasure of spending a lovely evening at Society Swan, an American Brasserie, celebrating my parents' 46th wedding anniversary with a five-course wine dinner featuring Kerr Cellars. It was a wonderful occasion to bring together family, fine dining, and an appreciation for thoughtfully curated food and wine pairings. The evening featured an impressive menu that balanced seafood, seasonal ingredients, hearty main courses, and an indulgent dessert. Each course was accompanied by a specific wine, creating a structured dining experience that highlighted selections from Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast. The evening began with Maine lobster, served with buttered brioche and Old Bay aioli, paired with a 2025 Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley. This opening course established an elegant start to the dinner, combining a classic seafood preparation with a California white wine. Course One: Roasted Sea Bass The roasted sea bass was served with cracked freekeh, Swiss chard, tomato vierge, and rock shrimp butter. It was paired with a 2022 5 Wells Vineyard Chardonnay from Sonoma Coast. The combination of seafood, grains, vegetables, and a butter-based sauce made this a substantial and thoughtfully composed course. Course Two: Fresh Fig Tartlet The second course featured a fresh fig tartlet with aged goat cheese, arugula, and butter-poached almond, accompanied by a 2023 Silver Eagle Vineyard Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast. The ingredients offered a seasonal direction for the menu, with the Pinot Noir providing a red-wine pairing for this distinctive course. Course Three: Short Rib à la Bourguignonne The main course featured short rib à la Bourguignonne, served with horseradish risotto, crispy Brussels sprouts, and herb bread crumb. It was paired with a 2021 Mast Ranch Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. This was the heartiest course of the evening, bringing together a classic braised beef preparation and a single-vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Dessert: Black Forest Sticky Toffee Pudding Dessert brought the meal to a decadent conclusion with Black Forest Sticky Toffee Pudding, chocolate toffee sauce, whipped mascarpone, and Luxardo cherries. The accompanying wine was a 2022 Stagecoach Vineyard Syrah from Napa Valley. The dessert offered a rich finish to the five-course menu and rounded out the evening's progression of food and wine. The Kerr Cellars Wine Experience One of the defining features of the dinner was its selection of California wines. The menu included Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, representing vineyards and wine-growing regions across Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast. Each wine was listed alongside a specific course, making the pairings an integral part of the evening. The progression from white wines to Pinot Noir, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, gave the dinner a clear structure. For guests who enjoy exploring wine alongside a multi-course menu, this format offers an opportunity to experience a range of varietals throughout a single meal. Celebrating 46 Years of Marriage What made the evening especially meaningful was the reason we were there. Celebrating my parents' 46th wedding anniversary made this more than an ordinary dinner out. It was an opportunity to spend quality time together, mark an extraordinary milestone, and create another special memory as a family. Society Swan provided the setting for the occasion, while the five-course menu and Kerr Cellars wine selections gave the celebration a distinctive fine-dining focus. Final Review Society Swan's five-course wine dinner with Kerr Cellars was a memorable choice for celebrating my parents' 46th wedding anniversary. The menu featured a diverse selection of dishes, from Maine lobster and roasted sea bass to short rib à la Bourguignonne and Black Forest Sticky Toffee Pudding. The accompanying wines showcased several well-known California varietals from Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast. The combination of a multi-course menu, curated wine pairings, and a special family occasion made this a lovely evening to remember. A beautiful way to celebrate 46 years of love, family, and lasting memories. Society Swan and Kerr Cellars provided a fitting backdrop for a meaningful anniversary dinner, and it was a pleasure to share the occasion with my parents. Here's to celebrating love, creating memories, and enjoying many more special evenings together!
