Food was fresh and extremely good considering the price. Service was solid, will definitely visit again.

In search of a non-Panera lunch, we gave this place a try on a whim. From the looks of the plates all around me, First Watch does more business as a breakfast place, which might partially explain why our lunch orders were so-so. Or, in my case, came out wrong--a sandwich that was supposed to be turkey came out ham. (Our service, though, was otherwise good.) The real reason we won't be returning: boredom. The interior of the restaurant is sterile and plain, and for $10 a person before tip, the lunch food is only a smidge up from food made more easily at home. And with the Market District cafe right across the street...you get the idea. read more

Two words.. millionaire bacon!! Bacon lovers unite!! It was so good, bacony (spell check be damned), spicy and sweet. It was heavenly. Oh I also got a power wrap that was good too. Even better when I put the bacon on it!! read more

I've heard a lot of great things about this place from numerous different people so I was very excited I finally got to try it. I really liked the amount of options they had and also the fact that the options all looked very good. Most of the options were very healthy which was nice. Everything was reasonably priced and the portions were nice sized. While there was definitely nothing wrong with my experience, the food, or the service I just wasn't in awe. It felt a lot like a upgraded eat n park establishment. While I love that occasionally, there are so many amazing options in this food city so in comparison to everything else it just fell short of my expectations. I will definitely return again and give some other entrees a try. read more

The food is always good and fresh, the service is usually really attentive (I've had a few so- so experiences which prevents the 5 star rating) and the vibe is always lively, weekend brunch. read more

I called to place an order for pick up. They have a veggie sandwich that's excellent...my problem is that I can't eat cheese and the bridgeville location allowed me to substitute avocado for cheese. This one has RULES.. and the rule to make that BIG switch costs $1.50 + a new customer. read more

amazing!!!!!! one of theeee best breakfast spots i have been to hands down!!! everything was amazing atmosphere amazing food amazing staff amazing i love it here! read more

For breakfast, the lemon regatta pancakes are unbelievable!!! Give yourself time on the weekends, it's usually a 20 or 30 minute wait but still worth it. If you didn't have to wait, it wouldn't be worth waiting for!!! If you don't like to wait, I would recommend using your Yelp app and getting on the wait list before you arrive. read more

Exactly what I was looking for in terms of a fresh different take on breakfast. So glad we checked it out. Confirms that there are some great food establishments out there. I will be returning soon! read more

The thing that impressed me the most was how un-greasy the breakfast was. Especially the potatoes. It was very refreshing to eat breakfast out and for once to not leave feeling disgusted for starting my day off that way. Despite the general lack of grease, the food still tasted very good and the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed. They can get kind of crowded on Sunday morning, but it's still not as hectic as other restaurants in the area. Especially the undeserving-ly over-crowded and noisy Cadillac Ranch down the road (I hate you, Cadilla Ranch). read more

Slow inattentive service. Poor quality food. This place is Eat N Park sans the folksy charm.

The best brunch ever! Will continue to drive all the way from the city to enjoy this place. Great food, juices, and atmosphere!

For a place that emphasizes quinoa, kale and freshly juiced veggie drinks, it is shocking how few choices there are for vegans. I saw two options -- one was some sort of wrap (although I would have needed to ask the waitress to hold the cheese) and the other was the veggie burger. I ended up choosing the veggie burger, but I would have preferred a nice, oil-free tofu scramble. I've started making oil-free tofu scramble at home -- it is quite simple to prepare. Why not offer tofu as protein to sub in for most of the egg dishes? It'd be so simple, and I guarantee you'll end up selling alot more than you think. The vegan population is exploding!! Let me know when you start offering a tofu scramble, and I'll immediately upgrade my review. read more

If you live near Robinson, or even if you dont. This place is a must try! Their breakfast food is amazing, and you dont feel terrible after you clean your place! I personally love the omelets and pancakes! Being a vegetarian, it is hard to find a breakfast place that serves more than just a typical veggie omelet- and there are SO many choices for me on this menu. Get there early, they get busy! read more

Good for my kids who don't eat vegan but not I. This is from their company one year ago and still nothing. No non dairy milk options if ridiculous. So is not having a meat alternative. First Watch really needs to get with the times. 4/30/14 Your suggestions to add more options for vegetarians and dairy-free diners have been duly noted. I will pass this information on to our culinary team. We recognize the opportunity to provide more vegetarian and vegan options for our guests. . read more

No matter what part of the country, First Watch is a consistently great place to grab brunch. Apparently Pittsburghers haven't caught on yet, because Sunday morning did not have a huge wait like most locations. If you are looking for a greasy spoon, then go elsewhere. This place has a clean, healthier, fresher outlook on brunch. Sorry, no alcohol. read more

First watch is a great choice for breakfast and lunch!! I had a traditional meal this time dippy eggs, toast and potatoes and the portion are small which is good but they have so Many healthy options it's honestly great! Also you can sit outside as my friend and I did this morning and it was such a great lunch!! Our server was strange and perhaps he was nervous or maybe new but other than that fast service and great food! Highly recommend for someone that loves eatting on the healthier side or just wants a good meal. read more

This is my favorite place to grab a healthy option for breakfast. The service is always good and I never had a dish that wasn't delicious. read more

First Watch - Ancient Grain Protein Bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

See all

A fantastic Sunday morning brunch unlike many places in the Pittsburgh area. I've been to Pamela's and other brunch locations, but most seem unappetizing after eating at First Watch. Something I really liked was First Watch's use of NoWait, the app that let's you get in line before you get there. I wasn't aware of the feature when we went, so we killed 20 - 25 minutes in Barnes and Nobles while we waited. The NoWait feature could've been better advertised, like on their window for easier visibility. The service was fantastic, our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food selection was incredible, it was healthy and didn't make you sigh like you typically do when healthy options are on the menu. The avocado toast, while $4 per half slice, is a must! I've never tasted something so wonderful on toast before. I got the turkey burger, which was extremely flavorful with it's sauces. My partner got the veggie burger with a fruit bowl which he said was excellent. Their soups all contained dairy, something I was hoping to avoid. It would have been nice to have at least one side soup option that didn't have any dairy as I had to resort to getting "greens", which was a pile of dry spinach. Overall it was a great experience. For the two of us it was around $33, which is typical for a nice Sunday brunch. Although it was just the two of us, it seemed like a great location to have a group of friends and bring your kids. We can't wait to go back! read more

Nice calm atmosphere and very nice staff. The fresh fruit crepes are some of the best I've tasted and the cup of Joe will get you hopin!

The service here is really great. I usually come to First Watch when family is in town visiting. My latest visit was right before y aunt and uncle had to catch a flight home. We let the waitress know that we were short on time and she got our order in and our food out quickly, even though the restaurant was packed. We were overall very happy with the service. read more

Love the breakfasts here. The staff is very friendly and even helped me when I had lost a piece of jewelry!

Never disappointed with this place. The food is always great. The service has always been wonderful, however since they are so busy it seems to take a long time to have tables cleared. It's worth the wait. read more

Yum, yum, and yum! The only problem is what to order. I typically order the same one of two things at restaurants but can't find a "go to" dish at First Watch due to everything being fresh and flavorful. I enjoy how I never feel rushed to visit a friend during off hours and that they put the water pitcher and coffee carafe on the table, so there is plenty. My only wish is they would open earlier. read more

No wait, very clean, courteous staff. I started off with a Day Glow juice. Very good! Had the market veggie omelette. I love the fresh vegetables that are ruff cut so you know what you are eating and large enough to to taste and enjoy each flavor. Pan cooked omelette not flat see through sheet of egg. Which I like a fluffy whole eggs. Very accommodating to my allergy needs. I love the healthy whole food theme. We need more of this type of cooking!! Thank you for keep things real and not processed. read more

They have very good food but service is very slow and the water is tap water. There are not very munch choices for lunch but there are more for breakfast. Over all this is good restaurant for Saturday and Sunday mornings. It is also good if you have to go to work very late in the morning but it is not a good choice for a lunch break. read more

Cold brew coffee is delicious, Morning meditation is awesome. Fruit, yogurt and granola bowl was delicious. The ambiance is amazing.

We met with former colleagues for breakfast. Service was not very attentive and slow. Food was ok.

I love coming here. I appreciate finding a place that offers healthy breakfast options. Not to mention the variety they offer on their regular menu as well as their specials. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're looking for an alternative to the pancakes and greasy diner food (no disrespect). read more

I love this place! I went there on Sunday. Given, it was not busy, but the service was fast. The food was fast. I guess the other reviewers were there at a busier time. The food was great! I had a green juice and fruit/granola/yogurt bowl and my boyfriend had a roast beef sandwich. He said it was one of the best roast beef sandwiches he's ever had. I am vegetarian and he is a meat eater, so it satisfies both of us. read more

I really love how fresh their food is! When I went, I had avocado and eggs and a fresh fruit cup. My only complaint is that they have the cup for coffee on the table (which made me think it was included with my meal and it actually isn't.) It's also pretty expensive for just one person to eat - for just me, it was $17 before tip! I couldn't believe it! read more

I had the pumpkin pancake breakfast and it was pretty good. I wasn't a fan of the chicken sausage, but maybe that just isn't my thing. The eggs were a little bland, but they were at least light and fluffy. The coffee was great! It was strong and flavorful. The service was amazing. Our waitress was very attentive and quick. read more

This place was something I was pretty excited about trying given their seemingly healthy menu. However, three tables were served before us, our waitress was never anywhere to be found, and we stuck at a table next to a woman who was smacking her lips while on her phone the entire time. Food was good though. read more

Decent spot with reasonable prices for a quick breakfast, brunch or lunch. I tried the Power Wrap for lunch. It was fresh and filling. Egg whites, turkey, spinach, mushrooms and Swiss cheese in a tortilla wrap. Loved the fresh fruit on the side and fresh brewed coffee refills. read more

I know plenty of people love this place but I will lay out the truth so it's out there. The food is fresh, I'll give it that, fresh toast, fruit, eggs not cooked in butter or lard, squeezed juice, but does that matter at all if the wait to get in is at minimum a half hour (at best), the wait staff is slow and barely awake and the lobby is so packed that if you sit in one of their chairs and there are only a dozen people there that someone is practically stepping on you? I had a meal here in hopes of it being good, place is always packed, and I review a lot of restaurants and live by "packed is good" but this is "packed is okay" and the rating is lower because of the experience. read more

The food is always good here, and the staff is always friendly. Very clean and looks very new. If you're going on a weekend make your reservations! read more

I really like this place. The food is good, although a little expensive. It isn't your usual breakfast place, as it does offer healthier versions of the usual fare. I like the atmosphere too. It is bright inside, and the noise isn't overwhelming. It is a convenient place to meet friends for a bite to eat and you won't leave there feeling stuffed with greasy food. The service has been good every time I have been there and it is usually pretty busy, but not packed. I would recommend it. read more

I just waited for 45 min on a table and people just walked in after they cleaned the community table and the host offered 3 groups of people immediately to sit there. You could have offered to the people who have waited the entire time. Poor hostess. read more

I enjoy coming here for breakfast. The food is wonderful and fresh. I've had the avocado toast, Bacado and the sunrise granola bowl. I can't say which is my favorite...they're all delicious. The waitstaff is very attentive and friendly. I really like being able to use the yelp app to get in line...it saves soooo much time. read more

The food is bland, boring and overpriced. Looks better than it tastes. The open floor seating concept is unappealing
