Liked the food. Had a nice time. Will be back. Yelp keeps saying I need to post a longer review but I already said what I came here to say. read more

This is the best breakfast spot I have found in the area, they are great about getting you seated quickly. The food and service has always been great for me, the decor of the place is also very nice and modern. Plus they have two giant outdoor patios so there is always plenty of seating. read more

I think this is a pretty average restaurant. I came in for lunch and was seated promptly. I ordered the turkey club and a cup of clam chowder. The sandwich was good but the clam chowder had no seasoning and no flavor at all. The service was very fast and friendly. Seems like a decent place for lunch, I will just skip the soup next time. read more

Terrible service Very long wait for food Even long line to check out This will be our last visit Saw one table of six get there breakfast about 5 minutes between plates then There is a huge area in middle with chairs and couches I guess they know they don't need more tables Food was ok Not worth the money -received a BOGO They took the child's plate off out of 3 breakfast read more

Had breakfast with friends here and ordered my favorite, eggs Benedict with house potatoes...so good!

Food is Great but Over Priced, and no liquor license so you cannot order mimosa's or bloody Mary's. Only open half the day and on weekends the wait can be ridiculous especially if you have kids who get rambunctious when hungry and waiting. Decent amount of seating inside , has patio space which is nice during food weather. If they had more seating (inside), got their liquor license (for mimosa & bloody Mary's), and extended weekend hours, the brunch on the weekends would drive significantly more traffic and Broaden the demographic, but that's just my opinion read more

Mmmhmmm - get in my belly. This place is so good. The staff and environment is great. I'm always excited to go here for a weekend breakfast. Keep up the great work!! read more

Poor service. Long wait for food to arrive. Not so busy for them to take long. I've eaten before at other locations and this by far is worst location. Food was good but service not best. read more

The look and menu has changed over the years but it is still a good place for breakfast.

The food taste good however the portions could be a little better . The service could improve as well . Overall decent place for breakfast

Been here a few times and it's just okay. Never really good or bad lol but consistent!

Foods always pretty good and the service isn't bad. Don't sit outside on a cold day, the heaters "don't work".

We love this restaurant! Not only is the food wonderful, but the wait staff is top notch. We found this place when we first moved from the East Coast to Arizona. It is just comfy and laid back. We have also been treated like royalty by those who wait on us! It's like going into Cheers (the old tv show)! They know us by name, they hug our necks like we are family, and their service is impeccable! We love all of the wait staff there, but have to say that Angie Lopez is our favorite! She makes us feel so welcome and takes time to talk to us about life, not just take our order. Thanks for being our " Go To" restaurant for two years!! Mellisa and Chuck read more

This is a shame- as a frequenter of the downtown location we were in need of a hearty breakfast after my sons swim meet in Anthem. I suggested this place- 20 minute wait- no big deal. We get seated, wait another 10 before the waitress, who went to a table that was seated 5 minutes AFTER us and took their order! She see us now, and takes our order for drink/food Ok, I think, simple mistake.. We wait, and wait - table next to us gets their food... Ok it should be anytime.... We wait.. And wait- . Now explain to me this, how is it, that a table that is seated after us, order taken at the same time is finished with their meal before we even get our food??? (2adults/1child) Food was just "ok". See attached photos- There is some obvious management/kitchen/waitstaff issues here. Unacceptable. read more

First Watch - Mostly edible. Not exactly "fluffy". I faired better than the wife's Pumpkin pancake- eggs were cold and whites were still snotty. - Cafes Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Consistently poor food and terrible service. Once in a while you may get lucky and have your food cooked as ordered but don't count on it. Service is certainly not consistent either. We call this our once every six months never again place. read more

Have eaten at this location and on Thomas. Serve at both was very good. Unique menu items. Food was very good. A nice place for breakfast.

The staff was fantastic and super nice! The food was just OK but it may have been because we got there about 45 minutes before they closed.. They seemed more worried about closing down and getting the last of the customers out and ensuring our food was great. Again staff really nice read more

Food is great, love the juice selections. Tomato basil soup was super yummy, sandwiches are great size for the price

Second time at this place.. food is good but mot consistent & the umbiounce was nice. The servers are not upto the standard of what should be represented.. went into this place yesterday with a family member, thought I would give it a 3rd chance, plus my family member frequents the locations in Tucson, Az and has always had a great experience. Well right off the bat the server was not so approachable hmmm not surprising.. she sat us in a section that had so many flies!! & we were inside! I ordered the quinoa chicken pesto bowl. When I recieved the bowl I began to eat it and as I was about four bites in, I had crunched down on a peice of something, turns out it was a BIG PEICE OF PLASTIC! Yes thats right Plastic! I told the waitress & she said she would give me a new bowl. When I got the bowl I had no appetite and ruined my meal & time with my faimly member. Waitress never took off the meal on my bill.. Wow! Really! & DIDNT TELL HER MANAGER! When I went upto pay I told the check out person I was NOT going to pay for my meal that had PLASTIC in it. She was so Rude & never apologizeed for the experience let me just say it didnt stop there! NEVER AGAIN! No customer service!!! I will let everyone I know NOT TO EAT THERE! read more

Slow service, and probably the most pretentious breakfast menu I've ever seen. If you like a place that forces "market fresh avocado" and "organic kale" into every menu item, this is the place for you! Double down on the "lemon dressed fresh greens" for your breakfast side... lol read more

This used to be our go to breakfast spot but it has been inconsistent during its transition period to First Watch. I'm updating my review after giving up on this place then giving it another try... The menu is great, atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, and if the service was better I'd give more stars. It seems to be improving but very disorganized, the food is probably worth the snags in getting service, I'll be ordering takeout though! read more

I would have given this a 5 star a week ago when I first came to First Watch. I ordered the Avocado Toast. It was delicious. The food was presentable. The avocados looked like they were cut fresh and stacked high on crunchy toast bread. It was so delicious, and our server then was very nice. Today, I came back with friends and I was raving about the Avocado Toast. I was so disappointed and embarrassed. The avocados were not freshly prepared. There were mushed and they were spread out on the bread instead of stacked. The bread was soggy in the bottom. Super disappointed. We had a different server who took so long to take our orders and it looked like she was not happy. Barely a smile in her face. Too bad because I like the atmosphere. I like what they've done to the place. I don't know if I want to eat here again. read more

We both had wonderful breakfasts on Wednesday, February 1. We didn't have any expectations, it was recommended by one of our Foodie Friends...we always follow up on Tom's recommended places. FIRST WATCH, will see us again. It is a very short drive from Anthem. We were greeted by Alexis with a smile, at 7:22 AM, her service was over and above what I am accustomed to in this area. The interior design is refreshing, open and casual. By the way, we have waited for a replacement for the Good Egg for a few years, I believe FIRST WATCH may be it. read more

My mother and I stopped here on our way to the Grand Canyon. She had never been and she loved it, which says a lot because my mother is really hard to please. Our server Hannah was very sweet and attentive to our table. The restaurant was very clean and they were social distancing the tables which was great to see. Thank you Hannah and thank you First Watch. Couldn't recommend this location more!! read more

This is a terrific place to eat breakfast or lunch. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. The pick two is a great value for lunch. I've never had a bad breakfast there. read more

Pretty sure this used to be the Good Egg. Nice menu with some very healthy choices. Portions were just right and very tasty. Seemed a little expensive at $25 before tip. Not outrageous just a little pricey. Next time I just won't take my wife (Kidding!) She never reads my reviews. :) read more

I have been to this location many times and think today will be my last, coffee is 50/50 on whether it is mediocre or yesterday's reheated pot and food is average at best. Sometimes specials are decent and you can get the odd decent meal but not with enough consistency to want to risk if your are going out for an enjoyable breakfast or brunch. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! We eat out a lot, and this is our go-to breakfast place on weekends. Healthy options that taste great - what's not to love? read more

We've been coming here for a long time, even back when it was the good egg. The service here is just not great and our experience monday was the straw that broke the camels back... We had a party of six and my mother in law ordered the traditional breakfast with scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs is pretty simple right? Probably the most basic way to make eggs. I have ordered breakfast there several times with regular plain good old fashioned scrambled eggs. What they brought out to her was literally fried eggs cut up. They were clearly not scrambled and even had the runny yolk dripping out. When she brought this to the waitresses attention and very kindly just asked for what she ordered (scrambled eggs) the waitress stated "that's how we make scrambled eggs here. A- that's not scrambled. B- that's not true. I've received true scrambled eggs plenty of times here C- I called today and asked them how they make scrambled eggs- sure enough it was not fried eggs cut up. It was SCRAMBLED This RUDE waitress ended up suggesting an omelet (oddly made of *gasp* scrambled eggs!)! And charged my mother in law for an entire other breakfast order instead of fixing their mistake!!! My mother in law was very nice to her and clearly felt almost intimidated by her rudeness and went along with it. We will not be back and I would recommend you don't go either. Their rudeness and lack of accountability doesn't fly especially when there are several other places near by that actually give you want you want or at least fix mistakes instead of doing what was done here. read more

Had breakfast here twice now & enjoyed the food both times! Both times I went it was on a weekday & wasn't crowded. Love that they have healthy options and healthy juices! Also, egg whites are at no extra charge. The atmosphere is nice and they've done a great job with the place! Some things could be improved but they're a new restaurant and have to work the kinks out still! Definitely a new go-to restaurant for us! :) read more

See all

I've fallen in love with First Watch in Tempe and have visited this one here by work infrequently, but this time after waiting to be served, or any acknowledgment of existence after 15 I just left. No more worries about the spotty glasses and utensils they usually keep me away. Too bad I don't have the option of zero stars. read more

Just grabbed some breakfast to go and the service was exceptional. The staff was really accommodating to my food allergies and I thought the food quality was great. Thanks for a nice experience!! read more

I love First Watch, this has been my go to for months now. I refer everyone I know to go here. Kale tonics are good and there healthy choices are incredible. Staff is always awesome! I go once a week sometimes twice. read more

I was contacted by the Regional Manger after our last experience and was asked to give them another try. The difference was night and day! Fast, friendly and efficient service. As, always, great food. This latest experience shows that our last visit was an anomoly. I'm a fan again. Thanks!!! read more

Breakfast breakfast breakfast need I say more? This place has been my go to for years. I always have to find one whatever state I'm in.

Absolute worst first watch I've been too, called in our to go order and had my girlfriend pick it up. They doubled our order and she paid without knowing then when I called to inform them they simply blamed us and showed zero care for a mistake made on their end. If I could give a negative star I would! I will no longer eat at this location. read more

Delicious food options. Lovely patio, pet friendly. Had a wonderful egg, bacon, potato breakfast. Pleased with the fact they have vanilla dairy free coffee creamer as well. Love that I can check in online to help eliminate the wait on a busy weekend morning. read more

We have been to First watch a few times and the food is great. I like the fact that they have a great menu but also some things that you normally don't get a chance to have in a breakfast restaurant. The food is alway fresh and seems to be made of high quality products and veggies. read more

This is one of the best places for a fresh breakfast. The million dollar bacon is to die for.

First watch is our go-to breakfast restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is usually great too! Our waitress, who I can't remember her name...maybe ally? was super up-beat, quick and friendly. This restaurant will not disappoint. After a VERY bad experience at a First Watch in Scottsdale I thought we would never come back. Fortunately we did, and the staff at this location renewed my faith in this chain. I'll add a picture of the "grilled turkey sandwich with Tortilla " the Scottsdale location couldn't make for my 4 year old daughter because they don't modify their menu. This location made her food with the accommodations, a smile and great service. read more
