Great Hacienda Hash seasonal special today. Service was slower than usual, finally got a refill of my soda. This is a regular brunch spot for me. Dining Companion always gets the TriAthlete and I try all the other items. Lemon Ricotta pancakes are great, was really surprised at how good the breakfast sandwich was (it sounded small but was filling), they have chickichangas (a Mexican crepe like thing) lunches they have 1/2 and 1/2 combos. It wasn't busy today, no wait, and the food came out fast. Don't know why the service was bad - it was just lacking. After thinking more about this overnight, I adjusted the rating downward to a 3. They have NEVER made me a runny poached egg, and today's hash had two solid yolks in the basted eggs. My dining partner couldn't eat the fruit (hard, not ripe), and the eggs were cold. He likes the toast and the jam. Not enough for a great rating. The greens always need more acidity - usually just a light oil taste. Good sandwiches though. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with the food we had here for breakfast. It was so good! I have visited the other location on Thomas and it was definitely forgettable and service was not great. We came to this location and there was a 20 minute wait on a Sunday morning but you look around the restaurant and there were at least 4 or 5 empty tables. They were definitely understaffed, which also impacts the service. When we finally got seated, it took 10 or so minutes to get water. Since the waiter took 10 minutes, it gave us the time to look at the menu so when he dropped the water off, we told him we were ready to order. I ordered the avocado toast (recommended by Gabi M.) with overhard eggs. Hubby ordered a blueberry and carrot cake multigrain pancake. The avocado toast was everything I expected it to be - delicious!!! Good job, First Watch, for keeping it on your menu. The pancakes weren't bad either. I actually liked the carrot cake better than the blueberry one, but Hubby liked the blueberry one better. Our server wasn't really around for the rest of the dining experience after food was dropped off. He did drop our check and told us to pay up front, but that was it. Our bill was rather inexpensive so I was delighted about that. Overall, service and efficiency needs to improve but the food and value are pretty good. read more

I will admit, I have the same thing every time I go to First Watch: the TriFecta. It's not because nothing else sounds good...it's because the TriFecta is that good. I always tell myself "try something different for once", but I always end up with a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, and a multigrain pancake (had the blueberry today). Simple yet so satisfying. Their seasonal menu always looks delicious, I've personally never had any issues with quality of the food or any servers. The prices are average, but it also isn't fair to compare cost and quality to other joints nearby since they're all different. I can't attest to the wait on the weekends, but when I stop in before work during the week, there is absolutely no wait at all. The only thing that I would care to mention is that the iced coffee only comes pre sweetened and with creamer. Can't get it black. It's good, but definitely something to note. Love this place, definitely need to get out of my box and try something different next time. read more

Yelp you did it again! This place was so good! Atmosphere was so organic and chill. I had the heathy turkey egg white omelette with grits. A perfect slice of whole wheat artisan bread. Amazing! Husband had breakfast tacos, he said they were bomb! Service was great! read more

My husband went to the location in Arkansas and he was thrilled to see it in phoenix. Sunday morning for breakfast and we sat immediately. The server was very friendly and helpful with recommendations and suggestions. We got one of their juices/smoothies. My husband ordered a breakfast scramble and I got the eggs Benedict. The food was fast, fresh and prepared to our specifications. The atmosphere is relaxed and cheerful. It's a great local spot that you wouldn't guess is a national chain. The portion sizes are substantial for it being a healthy breakfast option. We will be back now that we know it is so close to home! read more

I frequent here about once a week because the food is perfect every time. I can tell their ingredients are clean as well because I'm pretty sensitive and I don't have any issues when I eat here. It is well managed, the wait staff is excellent every time. They have a clean, covered patio for days on nice weather. Literally no complaints. read more

Went in around 9am for Sunday breakfast- was seated promptly, but took 15 mins before the manager realized we we hadn't been helped. She was great, though I don't understand how the server ignored a table for that long. He actually only came to our table twice- once to drop syrup, without introducing himself or saying anything to us, and once to drop the check. We had to stop him to ask for more water. While the service was lacking from our direct server, the food vastly improved the score.. easily a 5 star breakfast. They deliver incredible flavors in every dish we ordered- chickachanga, banana crunch pancakes and the breakfast sandwich. Literally all home runs. read more

Weird. That's all I got to say about this particular restaurant. It feels like it's a healthy wanna be Californian restaurant but falls short. Food was not bad, but not great either. Service was very slow. Don't think I'll be back. Too commercialized for me. read more

Phoenix, Arizona. Refreshing, updated flavor to hit yuppie parts of Phoenix. Service: No complaints on my end. The staff was helpful, and patient as we navigated the menu. They made sure we always had warm coffee and ice cold water. Food: Brekkie Joint. That's all I had. Tri-Athlete Omlette - Veggie ommie with green chiles and other unimportant veggies. Eggs and spicy chiles. Perfect for a cold morning. Fruit Bowl - Unsure if the fruit mix is always the same. The pinas complimented my green chile ommie perfectly. Multi-Grain Bread - If this was baked in-house then kudos to First Watch. The bread was delish and didn't taste all the quacky salty perservatives. Multi-Grain Blueberry Pancakes - Decent, thin panned flapjacks. Bit on the dry side indicating they used real grains =) The blueberries sweetened the flapjacks enough for my palette so that syrup was not needed. Breakfast Meats - I didn't have any but the thicker sliced bacon smelled good. My buddy says the bacon and sausage patty was great. Couple complimentary congratulatory notes~!!!! Jam (homemade?) - If this is homemade then you peeps are awesome. The jam was really good with its thickness and not so saturated with sugar as processed jelly is based off of. Coffee - When higher quality coffee is used then every brekkie just taste that much better. Location: SE Corner Plaza off of Camelback & 33rd. It's next to the golf store. Parking lot is puny with small lanes. Kinda weird considering how people in Phoenix appear to like big trucks/SUVs. Decor/Interior: Clean. Modern. Light-weight furniture with great spacing. Colors are on the blander-side but the deco theme is sufficient with what the joint is doing. Overall: A healthier eatery that has kick butt service and bomb coffee always equates to a pleasant experience. Nothing more could be wanted when starting the day off =) Thank you Arizonians. read more

Just had the worst experience at First Watch. I'm sitting down now at Over easy after my girlfriend and I waited for 30 minutes after ordering our simple breakfast and seeing people get their orders served to them and being seated after us. The very nice couple next to us said the same thing happen to them. Our server clearly forgot to put in our order. He said, he spoke with the kitchen and ours was next. He said, we are trying our best. I said, you guys are doing great with getting people their food, you just forgot about us. Very sad, because this WAS our favorite breakfast spot and clearly they didn't care about our experience. No manager tried to take care of us after we complained to a couple of their staff. This was our first stop after coming from our friends wedding in Flagstaff. All that way for a horrible service and zero remorse!!! read more

First time at this location. It's nice to finally have a breakfast place in this location. The food was great. Their healthy options are pretty standout compared to similar restaurants. Staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Visiting First Watch truly exceeded my expectations from the warm and fuzzy welcome from the GM Tammy to the the safety precautions for covid. To know that everything is wiped down in between guest put me at ease. If your a soup lover do try the soup! The drinks are to die for and the thought and creativity put into them is astounding! We also had the turkey burger, in which was packed with flavor. Would definitely recommend eating here! read more

The scrambled eggs were good, but what I really went there for a scrambled egg taco. The tortilla is made with a mix of wheat and corn. There are too many people who only eat gluten free these days whether for allergies or preference to be mixing healthy corn with wheat. That and the extreme prices are the reason this restaurant is virtually empty at lunchtime. read more

My first time at First Watch here at 32nd St and Camelback. Wow, what have I been missing? Started off with a welcome greeting and a smile from the young lady at the hostess stand. Our server was awesome! His name is Erick. He helped us with some great recommendations and was super nice and genuine. Now to breakfast. I'm a pretty simple guy, so I went with the tried and true Trifecta. Eggs, bacon, and a banana granola large pancake. All of it was delish. Couldn't finish it so taking some home to snack on later in the day. Will definitely come back and recommend. Cheers read more

If you're looking for a solid breakfast or brunch menu, First Watch is the place!!! I visit 3 different locations (Camelback, Thunderbird, Promenade) and the food is consistently delicious at each one. My go-to is the avocado toast - it's on a thick bread and has EVOO and lemon squeezed on top... drool. They have great pancakes, oatmeal, and I've heard good things about all of their "eggs-clusive" items as well. Don't miss the Kale Tonic green juice! For lunch I almost always get the veggie sandwich which I highly recommend. Overall service is pretty fast, I like how they can turn people in and out quickly. Even if there is a wait it doesn't feel like forever. This place is definitely popular for a reason! :) read more

The food was good, the service (waitress) not so much my mother has been a waitress for 15 years and never in my life have I seen a waitress give us our food and right away give us the check. I notice she delayed our request of a bit more water and a to go cup. She was helping everyone else...felt a bit rude...racists...but I don't want to think that way because maybe that's not the reason. However...she was a bit rude...but over all I prefer the food over the waitress. read more

Such a cute little restaurant tucked into the corner of the intersection of Camelback and 32nd street! The interior has a very relaxing feel and there is an outside dining area as well. I got the iced chai cider on the seasonal menu which was light and crisp. The avocado toast was made with a generous amount of smashed avocados that was nicely seasoned, and on the side there were two perfect over easy eggs. Although it was only one slice of toast it was very filling! Large menu so will be back to try other items! read more

Very unsatisfactory.. There is no pride taken in the preparation of food here. The food was very bland and was either undercooked or burnt. The waitress was acting peculiar as if she was high or something. I'm very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

First Watch is an AZ staple. Unfortunately, I don't understand what the hype is about. I had the steak and egg hash and thought the flank steak was under seasoned. It was served with parmesan crusted, days-old tasting ciabatta. The million dollar bacon had a little bit too much brown sugar and was way too sweet for my taste. The restaurant itself is very cute on the inside, and our server was prompt and wonderful. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our food and will not be back. read more

I think it hurts me to write this review. I REALLY wanted to like this place so I went in to give it a second chance...but I regret it completely. My boyfriend and I ordered a few things just to see if what we had ordered last time happened to be a "bad day". First of all when I walked in I noticed a bad smell that threw me off but I ignored it. We ordered a whole wheat banana pancake, "chorizo" omelette and a "Italian sausages omelette. I was so disappointed in both. My omelette tasted like a pizza, it felt like my sausage was those unfrozen kind that goes on top of pizza. The chorizo omelette did not taste like chorizo at all... I ordered a side of salad with "lemon vinaigrette" & unfortunately it didn't taste like it had any dressing on it. I think what saddened me even more was that we waited almost 40 min for our food. We were trying to be understanding until...we saw that 3 other tables that were sat AFTER us, not only received their food but were almost done eating...while we were still waiting for our food. I will say though that the pancakes were good! SERVICE, was amazing. Our server was a sweet heart and even brought us samples of their tonics/juices! That's why I really wanted to like this place, because our server was a great guy. Giving the 2 stars only because we had an amazing server! Overall I can say that I don't see myself ever coming back here but if you're the type to want to pay about $34 for a breakfast that was, let's just say not the best, then go for it. read more

First time in and we were extremely impressed! I live in the area and have driven by but for one reason or another haven't stopped. Very glad we decided to today. I've been on the hunt for for perfect eggs Benedict and that's what i got! Although they offer 4 varieties- a smoked salmon beni, a BLT Beni, the 3rd i don't remember... i opted for just the traditional. It comes on a ciabatta but i also opted to go full traditional and get it on an English muffin. It was perfect! Just the right amount of everything. My friend got the Elevated Sandwich and said his was fantastic as well. Everything was tasted fresh even right down to our OJ. The prices were more than reasonable as well. We definitely will be coming back! read more

Always great food. Nice place and very clean. Service has always been good. Turkey club is one of my favorites.

Stoped In today before my interview. I have to say that First Watch succeeded my experience and expectations. I went in for a water and to relax for a min but what I ended up with was a delicious "Biscuits and Gravy side order" which in my opinion looked like a full order. But I won't say anything. The food was great 5/5 for the food. I was helped and served by a lovely young woman, her name was Kameron. Miss Kameron was helpful in every way, her patience with my table was generous and timely. I feel like she's done this before. If you go in ask for Miss Kameron, you won't regret this spot. A great location, a little nook in the corner. Definitely will come again. read more

We got to try First Watch tonight as part of a special event, #FirstBiteatFirstWatch, with the No Kid Left Hungry campaign. They let us try items off their new fall menu, and we got to give donations in lieu of the check. It was so cool and a very fun experience! :) The fall menu was really yummy. It started with a Carrot Ginger Chai that I really liked. I didn't think I would because I'm not huge on ginger or carrot juices, but it was really sweet and had cinnamon flavors, too. I thought it was a very unique and interesting start for the breakfast items. Next we got to share an order of the Farmer's Biscuit Sandwich, Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal and Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast. The Pumpkin Pancake was definitely my favorite - I'll be coming back for that in the fall for sure! It came with warm maple syrup, chicken sausage and eggs. The pancake had a really tasty flavor that had just the right amount of pumpkin. The Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal wasn't for me, but I don't care for oatmeal in general lol. It's cool how they put cranberries and pepitas on top! It came with an orange-cranberry muffin that was good, though. The Farmer's Biscuit Sandwich was really tasty as well! I liked the arugula on it, and I really loved that they used mayo. On the side were breakfast potatoes and those were amazing :) I'm really happy I got to try the sneak-peak of this menu as part of such a unique event and good cause, but I think I will for sure come back again to try more of their menu items! read more

My first visit to a first watch turned out to be one of the worst breakfast experiences I've ever had. My wife and i are from Tucson and stayed the previous night in Scottsdale for an event. On our way out of town, i decided to try first watch for the first time. We arrived around 915am on the morning of August 27th. The restaurant was about half full, not too busy. We were greeted and sat promptly. Our server had another table who was seated right next to us. She took the table's order next to us, then proceeded to take ours. My wife ordered an omelet and i ordered a skillet with an extra egg on top. About 10 minutes later, the table next to us got their food. I'm not sure of the exact time, but we probably waited another 10 to 15 minutes for our food, despite the fact we ordered at the same time as the table next to us. Finally our food came, with no other visit from our server before then. Not even to assure us the food would be coming soon, despite the wait. The wife's omelet was fine, but my eggs on my skillet were extremely overcooked. I ordered them over medium, and they came out over hard. None of the yolks were runny at all. I pushed my plate aside, waiting for our server to return so i could tell her what was wrong. Almost 10 minutes passed before she came back and I could tell her that my eggs were overcooked. She apologized, and took my plate to be remade. 10, maybe 15 more minutes passed and still my second plate hadn't arrived. By now, my wife had finished her plate, and i hadn't even eaten. Once again, no return visit from the server with assurance or apology. The second plate comes, and the server walks away. My fork was taken with the first plate, and i was not given a new one. Sitting for a few minutes, my wife finally got up and walked over to another vacant table to grab me a new set of silverware. I cut into the new eggs and they were extremely undercooked this time. The whites were almost completely runny. By this time, we had been at the restaurant for almost an hour and i still had not eaten. To make things worse, our server never refilled our water, which remained empty for about 20 minutes. I told the server about the new eggs being undercooked and she took the plate away. We were already behind schedule to get back to Tucson, so i opted to take the check and cut my losses. The server delivered the check and said that my meal was comped. Frustrated at our whole experience, we walked to the front to pay. When asked how our meal was, we explained what happened. We were told that when my first plate got sent back, the server had to ask what over medium cooked eggs were. I'm sorry, but If you work in a predominantly breakfast restaurant, you should what it means when someone orders eggs over medium. The cashier at the front told us our entire meal would be taken care of because of what happened. My biggest problem with what happened, was the lack of communication and manager presence. The whole time we were there, i never once saw anyone who i thought was a manager. During our whole "meal," i think our server visited our table 3 or 4 times. Never once did a manager come over and talk to us. As someone who has managed many restaurants and worked in the industry for 20 years, communication can go a long way when something goes wrong. If they were to have just talked to me, it would have made things way better. I get that mistakes happen, but when responsibility isn't taken, it makes me, the paying customer, feel like i don't matter. read more

I love first watch's toast! I know that is the weirdest thing to love but it's thick and lightly toasted with butter smeared on top! They give you strawberry jam to go with it and it's just delightful! The avocado toast is also a really good serving size! They put a lot of avocado on top and has a fresh lemon taste! read more

There was a rush of people coming into to dine at First Watch, but we were still seated pretty quick. Once at our table, we were greeted by a smiling face within 5 minutes; our server, Tasha, was terrific. Very kind and personable. Every interaction with Tasha was friendly and pleasant. She made my daughters, and I feel like we were the only table she was taking care of amongst the busy rush. The food was out relatively quick, and it was delicious. Thank you, Tasha, for an excellent dining experience. read more

With my husband and son out of town, my daughter and I met a friend on Saturday for a girls' lunch... We decided to meet at this First Watch due to it's convenient location + the fact that at least one of us may be in gym clothes (ahem, that was me), and didn't want to deal with too much of a busy scene or a place that was all about seeing and being seen. Upon entering, it was clear that there wouldn't be a much of a scene, as there were plenty of open tables. That part was a relief, but we were a bit concerned to find several parties waiting and barely being acknowledged when half the restaurant was empty. When we were finally acknowledged, the host / hostess were not the friendliest, approximating a 15-20 minute wait and forgetting to mention that we could have chosen to sit immediately at their "community table." We learned about that a few minutes later when another party walked in and sat right down. Luckily, we didn't have to wait that long and we were seated at a comfy booth about 5-10 minutes later. Service wasn't the best, as we had to wait awhile for our water / coffee / juice, but once we ordered, it all turned out fine. One thing to know if you go here... Avocado Toast. That is definitely the way to go. It may be on a temporary summer menu, but my advice to FW is to keep that puppy on the menu forever. If I come back, that is what I'll come back for! I was also pleasantly surprised with the kids menu... my daughter had the eggs and bacon which comes with toast, fruit and a drink. This location doesn't feel a ton like a chain, which I like. The inside has a warm vibe, fun decor, clean bathrooms, etc... they also have a shaded patio, which a couple of brave patrons were sitting at despite the high temps in the 100s this weekend. If they can get a strong manager in place and/or improve the service a bit, I'd consider adding this to my regular breakfast rotation for sure... especially if that avocado toast sticks around on the menu! read more

I came here for Sunday brunch with two of my friends this afternoon and we had such a wonderful experience. The line we encountered when we first walked in seemed a little daunting, but the hostess assured us that the wait would be less than 20 minutes. We wandered outside to wait for our table and we stumbled upon a small seating area outside in the shade. There was a fountain and flowers--it was the prefect place to wait. As soon as we were called back in, our bubbly, personable waitress greeted us and took our drink orders. I would highly recommend the iced tea, as it wasn't sweet but it had a bold taste. Next, week ordered our food. It came out within minutes, and it was oh so delicious! All three of us ordered the Elote Mexican Street Corn Hash off of the summer special menu (without chorizo). It was delicious! The corn was roasted to perfection and the creamy Cotija cheese was a great complement. The potatoes and and scallions in the base layer of the dish provided a savory aspect, while also making the dish significantly more filling. To summarize, if you're looking for a decently-priced, delicious brunch with impeccable service in Phoenix, then this is the place for you! read more

So came the other day and the food was great! Came alone today and ordered biscuits and gravy (wonderful) 2 eggs over easy. Potatoes, sausage and sour dough toast! Potatoes were still too hard to cut with a fork or smash, the toast taste like someone left the bread bag open and it dried out because it was not truly toasted, the sausages we lukewarm in the middle but not cooked enough with a slight pint in the middle and if that wasn't bad one of my 2 eggs was over cooked to medium then when asked for an additional egg over easy again it took at least 5 mins and you guessed it over cooked again! In the picture there are 2 areas of yellow egg over cooked one pile is from the first egg and the second pile was from the 2nd egg! So many choices out there I should have picked the Hash Kitchen! read more
