came in for a late breakfast with my boyfriend. our server, Austin, was super sweet and upbeat with a great work ethic. I suggest the million dollar bacon. it's the best bacon i've had in my life and never disappoints;) read more

Although lots of people love this place, I don't get all the fuss! The employees dropped a bunch of plates, drinks and more while trying to serve / clean up! The food was okay, but was odd tasting and might I add, usually I eat a lot, but their food was way too much for one person! / Recommend to one with a big appetite! read more

The food was very good, waitress seemed distracted I had to give her my order twice abd then she still repeat it correctly and then it didn't come out correctly. I asked for dressing on the side it was loaded as I feared. The turkey burger my husband had sad it was good. read more

Another fantastic meal. Their food is fresh, delicious, and innovative. This is definitely a place to put on our return list.

Stopped here for breakfast on our way to the Verde Canyon Railroad (highly recommended). I had the lemon ricotta pancakes and other pancakes will never measure up now. They were light and tasty with fresh strawberries and to-die-for lemon curd on top. Hubs had the Italian sausage scramble and really enjoyed it. He really liked the coffee because it was nice and strong. read more

The ambiance and food is spectacular. I am also a big fan of the coffee and fresh juices. The only reason for giving four stars instead of five is when I bring my laptop to work here for an hour or two, I am disconnected every 30 minutes from the free Wi-Fi. I would suggest a disconnect interval of two or three hours, not 30 minutes. I would also prefer more gluten-free options such as gluten-free pancakes and milk substitute options such as soy or almond. read more

I guess when you don't tip on a pick up order you burnt blackened potatoes and both orders.

First time here. LAST TIME ILL GO HERE!! I ordered the salmon frittata and potatoes and got mixed greens. The frittata was disgusting. Tasted like old ass salmon. I eat salmon a lot.. like a fuck ton and that was super gross. My roommates food was good, they said. The wait time was ridiculous as it took nearly an hour, ordered in house not on any online app. read more

Decent food. Very nice service. Helpful checks up on customers frequently. Will be back because there are not many restaurants in this area.

Have you tried the million dollar bacon? Delish! I work nearby and we are very goooood customers of First Watch. Sometimes they get our takeout order wrong so we drive back, but they always make good on it. Love this place. read more

Outstanding service by our server Zoe. We arrived with a bit of a wait, but the hostess Evie was so sweet and went out of her way, to accommodate me (with a broken foot) so we didn't mind. Food was great- love the new Elote Hash ! read more

First time there and would go back. Sandwich and soup was very good. Cobb salad was fresh and tasty. Cold brew ice coffee was a nice treat. Staff was friendly. read more

I love stopping by this location on my way into town or when I'm heading back home (I live in the Prescott area), to grab a bite and fuel up. This is by far my favorite First Watch, as the staff is absolutely amazing!!! Everyone is very attentive, personable, and accurate - I've never had an issue with my order or my dining experience here! I also appreciate their care and seriousness around Covid-19 - the restaurant is always clean, masks are required for staff and diners (unless sitting down at a table), and the accommodations for more touch-free items (like the online menu) make me feel safe. Thank you everyone for always making my visit feel so wonderful! read more

Horrible restaurant and service. If you want awful service and a 30+ minute wait even after checking in online then this place is for you. The staff was completely confused and disorganized to the point the restaurant was only about 30% seated with 70% open seats but an insane wait time. DON'T waste your time going here! read more

Last time I was in, easy pick up. Great staff. Place was packed. All around looks like a great family breakfast spot

I love First Watch....BUT they have gotten super relaxed on cleanliness. People are nice. Food is delicious and healthy. But you have to keep it clean people!! I was served a filthy coffee server (could have easily wiped off before serving) silverware had food remnants, coffee mug had spots, even my napkin was dirty. Paper menus should be laminated or replaced regularly. Again, I really do like this place but totally turned off based on lack of attention to cleanliness. read more

This place has so much going for it, good parking, Beautiful clean interior, food is tasty with nice plating, presentation & diverse menu. BUT.... don't ask for cottage cheese!!! First off your waitress will not verbally respond but roll her eyes & walk away leaving you perplexed wondering if you were unaware you have Tourette's. Upon her return "no, we only have enough for the special this week" so apparently they can't spare (a square) any cottage cheese. What?? Just silly! read more

Aweful customer service, over priced menu and now as of this morning dog adverse. We have used their outdoor patio in the past with our puppy, today we were told "it's against the law" and now we are sitting at a lovely place just down the street where they cater to our canine companions. First watch = LAST choice. read more

Wow way downhill from what is normal. Obviously you're more expensive than most breakfast restaurants and I usually don't mind paying that money because I know the quality is good but today was absolutely awful! From the service to the food quality and everything it was not a good experience. Out of four of us at the table only one order came out correct. Not going back again and so sad as this was one of our favorites. read more

Have been coming here for years, and feels like for past 9 ish months the place is declining. I don't remember when the coffee was good for the last time, yet I order it every single time hoping that last time I was just unlucky. The coffee is always bitter, weak and barley warm. And we told it multiple times to the waiters, hostess at the checkout and doesn't seem anyone cares. The food quality also changed and we even asked if they have a new chief or understaffed due to covid. Service got worse as well. Before we were coming at least for food just keeping in mind not to order the coffee, but now the food is mediocre either. read more

This is the first time I have went to a First Watch and was extremely disappointed! Our utensils were dirty, our water had black stuff floating in it, I ordered a hot tea and he didn't bring a mug just the hot water canister. When I asked for a mug he pointed to the one that was already on the table, I said ok, but when I went to fill it up it was used! He didn't bring milk or sugar and I had to take another mug from another table. Our food came out at 3 different times and When our food came out all 4 orders were wrong. One of us didn't send theirs back but the rest did. We asked for refills of our drinks 3 times and never got them. A manager did come over and said I hear your order was wrong my apologies and then walked away without introducing himself and asking if there was anything he could do for us. Unfortunately there is nothing good I can say about our visit. read more

Found hair not once but TWICE. I ordered the chocolate chip pancake. The first hair was in the butter on top of the pancake.. how someone missed that in the kitchen blows my mind. Staff apologized and took the plate back and made me a new one. It was going great until the last bite.. I ended up pulling a hair out of my mouth. I almost threw up right on the table. And no It was not my own hair. It was a black hair about 2-3 inches long. Totally disgusted by this place. read more

This location is always busy but the staff hustles. I always order the BLT benedict because I'm addicted, but I know my husband loves the steak hash. The staff is always helpful and pleasant. read more

Great restaurant with wonderful food choices. Service seems top knotch! Avacado toast is GREAT. read more

Okay. I've been here 3 times (each time I'm in the area) and it is better each time. It is only open for breakfast through lunch so get here before 3:00. Everything is locally grown, fresh and delicious. The portions are more than ample. The offerings are varied and the selection amount is not overwhelming. Let's talk friendliness and quality of service - excellent!! Ambiance is comfortable and attractive country. There coffee is great and don't be afraid to try the Juice Bar choices. Although this is a chain it isn't your standard chain menu, service or quality. Don't pass on visiting here. You won't be sorry. I'll see you there the next time I'm in town! read more

Such poor service. I don't mind the wait to be seated but the attitude of the millennial hostess is poor bordering on rude. She says 10 more minutes but 15 minutes later we continue to look at an open table outside; actually 2 open tables. And more attitude when we ask what is happening with the outside open tables. I would not recommend this First Watch location. Have never waited so long and with such poor interactions. Food was good. If service team was properly trained would offer a better experience. Thanks to Rebecca L for the follow up after my post describing my poor experience at First Watch. The follow up from the customer service team was both appreciated and very professional. We will definitely give First Watch another try and again thank you for acknowledging my experience. read more

This was our second visit to this location. The first time we had terrible service but the good food ( million dollar bacon ! ) brought us back for a second chance. Today turned out to be even worse than our previous visit ! Once seated it took over 10 minutes for our server to come to the table. We had to ask for water 3 times while noticing other tables getting severed water. Once we finally got our coffee, we asked for some creamer twice since the bowl was empty. Our server finally brought the creamer when she dropped off the bill after we had finished our meals. The food was good but it too took a very long time to arrive. The good food was overshadowed by the slow and inattentive service we received. Poor service really ruins an otherwise good meal experience. Come on, First Watch, I know you can do better. Correction- this was at the Happy Valley location. read more

I know this is a late post... My sister and I took my mom here for Mother's Day because she wanted to go somewhere close to her house...I felt that I would have received better service going across the street to Denny's. The waitress forced me to order a dish that I did not want. My mom had ordered French toast and she wanted the fruit on the side. The waitress brought out a waffle with the fruit on the side. When we sent it back, the French toast came out with the fruit on top instead of on the side like we asked. After having so many issues, the manager did not even come to our table to acknowledge or apologize for the issues that came up causing us to send a dish back. By the end of our breakfast, we concluded that we probably would have had a better experience at Denny's. It is safe to say we will never come back to First Watch, I am definitely sad that The Good Egg is no more. read more

Had not been to this location before and had to write about it as it was a wonderful experience! Friendly service, wonderful food and I am a huge fan of the fresh juices. I think it was the morning meditation I had, LOVED it! I had some modifications I wanted to make to my order (I like EXTRA crispy bacon and extra runny runny eggs) and it was made perfectly. I liked seeing the social distancing happening within the restaurant, and even in the middle of these strange times the staff was friendly, courteous, and positive. I had a great time and will definitely be back!! read more

Great service! You can tell the servers and management genuinely care about your food/experience. The farmhouse skillet hash and blueberry pancake were absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back!!! read more

I absolutely loved my meal this morning. I like the variety that they bring. They have food for those trying to eat healthy or those who have a bit of a sweet tooth. I had the Power Wrap and it was absolutely amazing. I would 10/10 recommend this to anyone looking for a good Breakfast/Brunch/Lunch. read more

IF YOU WANT COVID PLEASE COME HERE. THE COOKS DONT WEAR MASKS. my wife and I ate here and when she went to the bathroom she noticed that nobody in the back was wearing a mask!! She was disturbed because she is a nurse and takes the pandemic very seriously. When she saw this it made her sick to her stomach knowing that the people that would make her food would be breathing on it... DURING A PANDEMIC. How hard is it to wear a simple mask? read more

A great place for breakfast. They take real care with their menu and quality of food offered. I really appreciated that my pumpkin pancake was not sweet. That way I could enjoy the warm maple syrup without too much sugar in my breakfast. My husband likes their take on Eggs Benedict and likes the option of salmon instead of just ham. read more

Horrible service. 10 minutes to get even acknowledged at table. See what food is like. Food ok cold and had to beg for water and refill

Love this place. The food is unique and delicious. The greens that you can get in place of breakfast potatoes are perfectly dressed. Have eaten here many times and have enjoyed every meal. It can get a bit loud when the restaurant is full but It is manageable. read more

Order blueberry muffins. 4 total. While they were tasty they are full size they might as well advertise them as mini muffins.

Food is very good .. service could be way better the waitresses didn't even acknowledge me or say hello for 12 minutes until I was getting up to go get someone.. she didn't even apologize for the long wait.. it wasn't busy everyone around me had there food .. read more
