The best brunch in Ahwatukee! The food is always amazing and fresh, and I love the rotating menu. The indoor-outdoor space has a great open vibe, and the staff is incredibly courteous. I usually treat myself by sitting at the bar after the gym on weekends , and Vanessa is an awesome bartender. It's become a regular bright spot in my week. Highly recommend! read more

First Watch - Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We ate at the bar. Food delicious, drinks great. Are server Vanessa was kind and helpful. The place clean and roomy. We'll be back.

I have not tried this location before and haven't eaten at a first watch in a while. My daughter and I decided to check it out . When we entered the restaurant, we were sat right away. Our server came to the table and greeted us. She was very nice and took our drink order. She came back to the table in minutes with our drinks and gave us some input on the menu. She strongly suggested, ordering off the seasonal menu since it's ending in a couple days. We ordered off their seasonal menu. For a starter we ordered the bacon cornbread and the BEC sandwich and the turkey sausage biscuit and gravy. Our cornbread came quickly, and the food came shortly after. The cornbread was tasty, and I really enjoyed the sweet butter on top of it. We actually asked for additional butter. I'm so happy we did. Everything we ordered was amazing. Our eggs were done perfectly.. soft scrambled. I would definitely recommend FW and plan on returning. read more

First time going to First Watch and excellent ambience. You walk in and the dining area is wide and open with natural lighting. They do have a bar area indoor and outdoors. The food delicious!!! A total of 5 of us that went and were able to pick something different from the menu as shown on the pictures below. Everything was delish with no complaints whatsoever. We will definitely be going back to try other things in the menu. read more

Popped in after a school event for a brunch with friends. The service was quick & friendly. They were able to accommodate a large group of us with no issue. The food came out & everything looked fresh & no issues with incorrect items - a few of us have specific asks in terms of dietary restrictions. Might just be my new go-to for a coffee meeting or quick lunch with friends. read more

I came in for breakfast on a Sunday morning with a friend and we were quickly seated. I ordered the market hash and got my eggs poached. I didn't love how the eggs came out and the dish itself was a little lacking in flavor. Our waitress was nice but she gave us the check super early on which I find to be poor service. This first watch location is very spacious inside. read more

Wow wow wow!!! First Watch never disappoints, and this experience is by far the the best I've ever had with them! From getting seated to leaving was a 45-minute no-rush experience. It was pretty much flawless! The food quality, the atmosphere, and the service were all spot on. I love breakfast places anyway, but this visit made me love breakfast even more! I'll 100% come back!! read more

I've been to another First Watch location on several occasions, but have heard this one is a bit unique with its placement near the Ahwatukee Foothills. I wanted to check it out for myself as I know the views are very breathtaking in this area. We were greeted quickly and immediately had our table, even though it was fairly packed. Service was done with a smile and everyone was friendly. All pluses in my book! The only drawback was it was on the noisy side, making conversation slightly challenging at times, but still very enjoyable. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes with strawberries. The pancakes were slightly on the dry side and needed a few more minutes soaking in syrup to really hit the right spot. The strawberries and lemon custard definitely helped though, kinda shook things up a bit and added a juicy yet creamy consistency to each bite and great flavor. I enjoyed it! On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd definitely hit it again! Seems like there's a number of spots in Ahwatukee I have yet to experience that I need to explore! read more

This located recently opened in my neck of the woods and I had been wanting to try it! Naturally, going during the holidays it was likely busier than usual as the place was packed upon entering. Despite that, we were able to be seated immediately. It WAS in the middle of the restaurant and slightly uncomfortable- but something I can easily speak up about if it happens again. Service was excellent; everyone was friendly and efficient. I ordered the avocado toast which was plentiful and tasty. The toast itself was a bit dry/chewy but the topping was great! All in all, it was a nice breakfast place and I'd likely return and hopefully we can try more things in the future! read more

We had a great experience! We waited no longer than 5 minutes on a Sunday morning. Everyone who attended to us was very friendly and helpful. I made a comment to who I believe was the manager, that I had not known about this location, we had a nice conversation about their 1 year anniversary being around the corner! I'm glad to have first watch a little closer to home. The food was delicious!! I religiously get the chickenchanga and it has not let me down once. read more

First Watch - Do not buy this drink it does not look like the picture. It does not taste good it is gross. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I met my parents here for an anniversary brunch yesterday and it was a great time! I've been to First Watch before, but not to this location. My mom and I got there about 10-15 minutes before my dad did (there was a miscommunication) but the staff were all really nice and understanding that we were waiting for him. While we were waiting, my mom and I got drinks - she got their Purple Haze and I tried the Pineapple Express. The Purple Haze is my go-to when I come to First Watch, so I already knew it would be delicious. Hence, I tried something different. My drink was fruity and sweet and absolutely divine. I'm very happy with my choice to try it out. I opted to indulge in their biscuit and gravy breakfast, which came with eggs and a side of potatoes. I am such a fan of biscuits and gravy, and that's how I usually judge a restaurant I've never been to before - how good their biscuits are. I was pretty impressed! It was turkey sausage, and was quite flavorful. The biscuit could have been a tad less dry, but it was nothing to lose a star over or complain about, really. The potatoes were delicious, as always, and seasoned to perfection. The eggs were surprisingly good too. I'm really picky about the texture of the eggs I eat and usually restaurants do not fit that need, but First Watch definitely came through. The eggs were fluffy and delicious. My mom ordered their elevated egg sandwich (sans mayo) and my dad got their steel cut oatmeal, with blueberries. I've personally had their elevated egg sandwich and it's honestly my usual order, so I definitely agree with my mom that it's a solid breakfast. While I've never indulged in their oatmeal, my dad was impressed with it - he even got his choice of milk, which was pretty cool. Our server was training a newbie, and they both did a great job. Attentive, prompt, and very nice to interact with. They explained that we could pay by scanning a QR code or up at the front. We opted to scan the code - quick and painless! If you've read any other review of mine, you'll know that I'm hard of hearing and often struggle in public places because of music and background noise. While the music playing could be heard (even by me, so it may have been louder than I thought lol) it wasn't crazy loud and my parents and I didn't have to yell across the table to hear each other. That was nice, too. If you're looking for a solid breakfast/brunch/lunch spot, I recommend checking out this First Watch. They're open from 7am until 2:30pm, so whether you're an early bird like me or a sleeper-iner, there's a way to make it work. read more

What a fun experience, starting from the good humor of the host. The pineapple express and kale refresher drinks were fantastic! Lots of fresh nutrients and ingredients. The upgraded sides were spot on, adding alllll the bacon. The price was perfect and nice big plates, we both had leftovers. They even have a generous military discount. Must try! read more

8/3/24 is my third visit since they have opened this location. This review is strictly on visit two and three. This location is very average compared to other locations I visit on a regular basis. I fully understand this location has not been opened for 90 days yet. My Mom lives close by so I will be back again. My regular sandwich is the same as other locations. The soup.... Not sure if it's a warm up ready to go soup in a bag or from concentrate type. The vegetable soup today was off. Very little broth to it as I've had at other locations, but the taste was off as well. I hope that the store manager is able to get this crew and location up and running at a more efficient pace! read more

First Watch - Ham & Gruyère Melt w/vegetable soup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

New place where sweet tomatoes used to be. It's so nice and spacious inside! Very elevated from the first watch I've been to! I was debating between the BLTE and the roast Beef with havarti. I ended up choosing the roast beef havarti. I thought it was okay. I was actually surprised because the cheese is cooked onto the outside of the bread. So when you're eating the sandwich with your hands, your hands become covered in oily cheesy grease. I actually thought to myself, did they put the bread upside down when making the sandwich accidentally? Before I asked, I checked online and sure enough, the cheese is on the outside of the sandwich. Because of this I wouldn't get it again. I did enjoy the ambiance and the service. The people are so nice. I plan to go back, to try something else next time. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast. We brought a family group of 14 and the service was excellent. Our waitress was highly organized and efficient. We ordered a large variety of items, including 4 kids meals and everyone got what they ordered and were happy with their meals. My brother especially liked the chicken sausage and husband enjoyed his omelet. read more

Mother's Day party of 5. The waitlist on their website works great! We were seated right away. They have done a great job revamping this old Sweet Tomatoes, it looks great on the inside. We all had something different and it seems the French toast was the top pick. I would stay away from the Salmon Benedict. I got one hard boiled egg, one undercooked egg on top of a un-toasted bun and my salmon didn't taste or smell fresh. I cut them some slack since it's only their 1st 2 weeks open and a busy holiday morning. read more

Great soft opening today! The staff was very busy. Servers buzzing around and team lead trainers putting it all together. I had the smoked salmon frittata made as an omelette with egg whites. No extra charge for the egg whites. Nice. It was delicious. Packed with great flavor. The fruit was a little tough so I didn't finish it. The bread and jam were awesome as well. The iced tea was fresh brewed and very good. So many times iced tea is watered down. We were given a complimentary drink. A type of lemonade with beet juice on top. Very addicting. I will come back to try the kale drink. It sounded fantastic. The decor was great. Very classy, clean lines yet comfortable. Very nice and welcoming. This will be a great Ahwatukee breakfast spot. Can't wait to come back. read more

Came here about a month ago and wrote a review on my experience. What I ordered was not what I got. Their manager reached out to me personally and rectified the situation. Came here today for a quick lunch and sat at the bar. The server was amazing. Very friendly, attentive, and remembered us from last time. I ordered one of the seasonal plates. It's was the Brussel sprout hash. OMG AMAZING !! tons of flavor, and chili sesoning they out on top was out of this world. Would definitely recommend. My friend got the rostbeef sandwich and really enjoyed it. If you come here you have to get one of their juices. I got the morning meditation. It's so refreshing, especially on a hot az day. The restaurant is supper modern decor, very clean and fast service. This would have to be my favorite location for first Watch. read more

First Watch - So good I forgot to take a pic before I started eating. One of my favorite meals I have gotten here. - A disposable takeout container contains a partially eaten meal featuring fresh arugula greens on one side, and cooked ingredients such as eggs, sauce, and diced vegetables or meat. A black plastic fork is placed inside the container, and some food remnants are visible. The container is on a light-colored surface with some crumpled tissues nearby. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The setting appears to be in a restaurant or cafe environment. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I came here on a Saturday morning at 8am and got sat immediately. Very clean and comfy seating. I tried their new shishito hash, it was good but they really skimped on the meat, it was mostly potato which was disappointing. read more

We had breakfast at First Watch - Ahwatukee yesterday and it was great! Our hostess and server greeted our party of 3 with smiles. Our orders were perfect and very tasty. My hubby loved his pumpkin pancakes, my friend was tempted to bring a second chia pudding home with her. I had the smoked salmon omelet with fresh fruit substitute as side. I would happily order that again. I wish they offered freshly made lattes but that's about it. Highly recommended. read more

Omg! Whaaatt!!!! Very nice ambiance with windows all around giving brightness to the interior. This place was so good! I had the Trifecta which had choice of eggs, protein, waffle or choice from the pancake menu. I chose scrambled eggs, bacon (4 slices) and the ricotta lemon pancake which was out of this world! Definitely coming back! Oh and service was top notch! read more

Well, tried one more time and...hooray! Bkfst was yummy! 1. Katherine was our server and she was EXCELLENT! Took the time to make sure I got what I wanted and how I wanted it! 2. Eggs over medium well i.e. whites completely cooked and yolk soft! 3. Bacon crisp and NOT greasy! AND it was my birthday BOGO so that made it perfect! read more

Our family of 3 enjoyed our meal! We started off with 2 non-alcoholic juices. Both were complex and not too sweet. I liked the Morning Mediation best. The table shared the Mission dollar Bacon which was a seasonal item for a Starter. It had some nice heat but it was subtle. For mains, the best was the Shosito Brisket Hash off the seasonal menu. Our kiddo had the egg sandwich but subbed chicken sausage patty for the Bacon. He really liked it. I got a breakfast quinoa powerbowl with Italian sausage, kale, mushrooms and roasted tomatoes. It was a little bland. It felt like mostly quinoa. Maybe if there was double the amount of veggies or a pesto or sauce I might enjoy it more. The marketing photo looked like it had 2x the amount of veggies. That's the only one I wouldn't order again. We shared a delicious carrot cake Multigrain pancake. We would definitely return. Also the wait seemed intimidating and we were quoted 45 minutes but it was 20 minutes max. This was a Sunday about noon. read more

I don't feel like reaching out to the manager so they can "cater" to my experience to improve my opinion is the best way to improve my experience, so I did not reach out. We ordered a pick up order this morning and it was supposed to be finished at 9:21. It was not. They do not have effective systems in place for how they run things here. They put a completely different name on our order because spelling is hard. And I bet you are thinking, why not just use the ticket from the order to label the bag... Me too! So instead of looking to see if that was our ordered they made us wait another 20 minutes for our order. This place is not worth going to. We are done. So many other breakfast places in Tukee that are family owned. They will get my business. read more

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

So far this location has been a hit or miss. When it's good it's great, but when it's not it's real bad. Service- Again, when it's good it's great. Hosts and servers are super friendly. When it wasn't so good the host was still great. But my server on a particular day was awful. She didn't share her name when first coming to take my drink order. Moves at a snails pace, didn't check on me once during my meal (I had to stop her to ask for things), she didn't make eye contact, smile, nothing. Just overall terrible. This particular female may have been young/new to the game. So if management takes notice she definitely needs more training. Food- I've had some great meals here. The French toast is so good, as are the waffles. I also love the option for turkey sausage (not a fan of regular sausage). Pancakes aren't bad but you really have to like the multigrain taste. Bacon is either not good quality or the cooks fudge it up a bit. I believe one visit it was good, but lately it's been diner bacon quality and over cooked. It's a bummer their "sourdough" toast was basically white bread/real low quality sourdough. read more

Heard great things about this place and had to come try it out. I went in on a Tuesday morning and unfortunately there was no host available, service was decent and the inside of the restaurant is massive and had plenty of seating area. There was also a nice bar area if you're looking for some drinks as well. The food was great the cinnamon pancake plate was awesome and the omelette was done very well. The golden cinnamon roll was alright, nothing crazy, I wouldn't recommend it. Other than that I highly recommend coming if you're looking for a great breakfast spot. read more
