Excellent food, great service and a nice atmosphere. I had eggs benedict even though I was told that the pancakes are the thing to get. I was happy with what I got. The portions are large and satisfying. The wait for 6 of us was relatively short even though we went at primetime during X-mas week. I'm happy to see more great breakfast / brunch places appearing in Savannah. read more

Best Avocado toast I had in a long time. I had their Kale drink it was refreshing. They are in a prime time location and from what the locals tell me they are lines to get in everyday. We were fortunate to be seated once we got in, read more

I've been to several of these now, across the country even, and they have yet to disappoint... This one was no exception, promptly seated for breakfast we waited a bit for service but once the waitress showed up it was game on. She kept our drink orders filled and checked in us regularly, no complaints there. Food-wise, it's the quality and quantity you expect from this place. All of it served hot and fresh, or cool as expected and presented very nicely. Gotta say, this is one of those 'big-box' places that gets it no matter where or which one you go to... read more

Hubby and I are revisiting our favorite breakfast spot, it was a surprise birthday breakfast! We were greeted and seated immediately, they brought our drinks right away, but boy was it hard to decide what to order! If you've never been to First Watch they change their menu seasonally so we had some new options to choose from. We decided on an order of the Million Dollar bacon--amazing as usual, and a new starter the Holy Donuts. It came with a warm chocolate sauce and a warm blackberry compote for dipping. 10/10 so good and the donuts were served warm too! For our entrees we chose the Blackberry Lemon Cream French Toast, and hubby chose the Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl. Both were out of this world delicious (he let me have a bite of his) The flavors were spot on as usual and the staff was awesome (as usual) thank you First Watch for another awesome experience! read more

First Watch 400 Pooler Parkway, Pooler GA 31322 August 14, 2022 Sunday - 9:30 for breakfast 3 Adults Atmosphere - 5 stars Food - 5 stars Service -5 stars Background - My ex recommend this place for breakfast. Atmosphere - Old country feel in this modern space. We sat at half booth half chair table. Food - My daughter spotted the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, we both actually ordered them. The lemon curd on top was just the right amount of tart. The menu said seasonal berries, but the menu was the daily specials. You could not say strawberries on it? Service - Friendly and fast. Seated quickly and service by our waitress was great. Future - I could see coming here again. I have since learned it is a chain, so I could see going to the location near me. read more

I heard some great things about First Watch and couldn't wait to give it a try! We were greeted by a friendly hostess and sat promptly. Our server was very nice and greeted us with coffee. The menu had a lot of healthy options with some breakfast breakfast staples. I went with the half club and soup. Both were good. My husband had the avocado toast and really enjoyed it. I'd say the winner of the visit the morning meditation drink. Delish! We'll be back. read more

I haven't been to a First Watch since moving back to Atlanta. The experience did not change with time or location. There is a long wait time on the weekends, so make sure to add yourselves to the wait list prior to arriving. Also if you are willing to sit in deal with the hot and humidity of Georgia summers, sitting outside will also get you seated quicker. I had the avocado toast. Nothing to complain about as it was really chunky and they loaded the bread up with avocadoes. The pineapple express was a nice refreshing drink. As most places anywhere, I do think that they are understaffed, so just take that in consideration. read more

Welcoming and polite staff. We got seated very quickly, we requested outdoor seating since it was shaded and not too hot yet. Tables and seats are all clean. The menu has a good variety of brunch style food options. The orange juice is good, if you don't like pulp, you may want to go for a different drink. The purple haze is so good, the lavender flavor really comes through in it, and it's pretty. For food, we ordered the Floridian French Toast, and the Smoked Salmon & Roasted Vegetable Frittata. The Frittata is very good and the eggs are super fluffy and the smoked salmon is so good. If you like a good Lox bagel, you'll enjoy this Frittata. It came with a ciabatta style buttered toast, it was very warm and soft. The salad greens were fresh and the dressing is tart and good. The salad is optional, you're able to swap it out for a different side. The French toast is good, tasted just like a regular French toast. The berry compote that comes with it is excellent. The fresh fruits, banana, strawberry and kiwi really make the French toast better than a regular ole French toast. We will come back for sure. Good experience all around. read more

Yay!!! First Watch is here! I've been a fan of FW for 6+ years and have eaten at several in AL, SC & the Atlanta area. Perfect brunch spot with a great variety of breakfast and lunch entrees. My favorite is the skillet hash with bacon, potatoes, tomatoes, avocado and more. For a healthier meal this week, I chose the Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl. Delicious! The restaurant is open and airy with outdoor dining. Check it out' I bet you will love FW as much as I do! read more

I had to download yelp just to write this review. My family and I stopped in this place on our way through town and so glad we did. I can't express enough how nice the staff was and Mariah took great care of us. The food was excellent, couldn't have asked for a better breakfast. read more

This location just opened in Pooler and am beyond pleased to have found this gem. Finding a good breakfast place is always a challenge and from a chain sometimes the expectations are not great. Thankfully this is not the case with First Watch. Olivia was my server and she was friendly, attentive, helpful, and beyond professional. Her recommendations were spot on for the Kale Tonic drink and the Million dollar bacon. Both were excellent and must haves when you're there. I hade the Chickichanga breakfast and it was flavorful and filling. Portion sizes will not disappoint. Their menu is extensive and has tons of options for everyone including gluten free and vegan options. I am glad they are here and I hope to make this a go too spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch. They have a clean and open restaurant and it is a really good spot that you need to give a try. read more

My husband and I were at the First Watch restaurant in Pooler, Ga, and the food was excellent. The waitresses were charming and attentive. They were on top of our needs and also spoke with professionalism and a smile. They were very neat, clean, and friendly. The restaurant was very clean and tidy. I loved it and I will recommend this restaurant to my friends and family. read more

Always nice to see a new breakfast spot open up that isn't fast food related. Came here when they first opened and then 3 weeks later, both times the service was great and the food was excellent. Didn't have to wait long for my food to arrive either. There's a ton of healthy options at this place but for a picky eater like myself there's also a few good options to choose from. 1st visit got the biscuits and gravy with the million dollar bacon, the gravy was different than others but still good. Really enjoyed the bacon tho. 2nd visit I tried the breakfast tacos and they were very delicious! Looking forward to coming back and trying the pancakes cause they are huge! read more

Really disappointed that after the kitchen messed up our GF preference (due to intolerance) and we weren't told until after half the meal was eaten that NO offer for meal to be covered was offered. Plus we had to ask for our toddlers food after it was forgotten. Lastly after they took our plates to correct the mistake they brought us GF sandwiches and never brought back my greens. Really disappointing. First Watch is always on point. This experience not. I do not want to come back. I didn't want to pay full for what we had or rather didn't have in the first place. read more

New place and I absolutely enjoyed it! I went by myself on a weekday. Inside was quite busy (yay for the business) but I was able to get outside seating on their patio. The service was outstanding!!! My waitress was so sweet and bubbly (I wish I could remember her name so I can mention her!) She was attentive without being overly so. I ordered for myself the million dollar bacon (I could have eaten 5 plates of it) It was soooo delicious! I also ordered the Tacos Al Pasor hash which was fried potatoes and pineapple topped with chorizo, egg, and pickled onion. I will for sure be returning to try other dishes!! read more

This was my first time at a First Watch restaurant, and my last. After waiting 45 mins. to be seated, we were escorted to a dirty table where it looked as though the previous group had a food fight, food was all over the floor, the table looked as though someone had wiped it with a dry cloth and was very sticky. So the seater went and grabbed a broom and tried to sweep up some of the floor beneath the table. Now we are seated and given menus and silverware for two, although we were a group of six. We were also given two white coffee cups which were covered with someone els's lipstick. Still waiting for a waitress or waiter a half hour later, I got the attention of a waitress passing by so I called for her attention and asked her to change the coffee cups and could she please clean the table? She returned with this nasty dingy looking dry rag and was getting ready to wipe the table, I asked her if she had any disinfectant that she could use with her dirty dry rag, she left and returned with a spray bottle sprayed a spot on the table and called that cleaning the table, she then took the and returned with two more dirty cups. At that point I requested to speak with Management, A young man approached and asked can he help us, I explained, " we had been sitting for 1/2 hr and no one had even offered us a glass of water, I also told him about the dirty cups table and floor." He was so helpful, he grabbed the menus and the two sets of silverware and the two dirty cups And left, without saying anything. We were just getting ready to leave and go to Wawa, when suddenly a waiter by the Name of Andy was passing by, and asked were we being help? If not for Andy this review would have been a 0. Because when I looked into the kitchen, NOT one person had on a head covering, and there were all kinds of hair styles, long hair, short hair, bushy hair, the manager himself was standing there playing in his hair. He (the manager) could use a manger course on how to respond when a customer is complaining about dirty dishes, table and floor, poor service or should I say lack there of. At lease apologize or offer a free cup of coffee. This happened on Sunday August 31, 2025 read more

Ordered an Avacado toast To-Go which took over an hour to be prepared. I arrived at the time it said it would be ready (20min), checked in with the hostess about my online order, then proceeded to wait another 40min. The hostess ignored my request for a refund and said "It is the weekend...so we're just busy.." Most First Watch restaurants offer wonderful service, this one in Pooler, GA did not. read more

Food was excellent and atmosphere was right. The host was far from warm. She did not even acknowledge my presence or make any eye contact. She took more of an interest on cleaning the front door's window?? read more

I dined at First Watch, a long with my four years old great granddaughter for breakfast leading into the lunch crowd. The food was delicious! I had the seasonal Strawberry Tres Leches (French Toast with an awesome sauce) and turkey sausage. My GGD received a kid's menu with activities and crayons keeping her occupied. I loved the fact that I received my own pot of coffee for continuous refills. The food was really awesome but what was most important to me was the service... courteous, professional, very friendly and accommodating. My GGD is very rambunctious. Although I wanted a booth instead of regular table seating, none were immediately available, however, the welcoming greeter/seater apologetically offered to clean a just vacant booth. I agreed. Dani was a blessing and enhanced my First Watch experience to a new enjoyable height. Dani, although greeting, seating and handling the cash register never missed a beat in accommodating me while balancing her other responsibilities. I enjoyed myself. My waitress was great also.... waitress Destiny. read more

Food was amazing and super fresh. I'm visiting Georgia for the first time and this was the first place I went to eat and it was 10/10 would go again.

My husband and I went Saturday morning to this restaurant. We were the first to be seated and the last to be waited on. We waited over 40 minutes for our food it never came. Luckily my 2 year old got his food. After we saw that the waitress was attending all the other tables but us we got up and told management what had happened, and all of a sudden our food was ready. But we decided to leave, and we will never go back. read more

Service is trash. They seated us as we walked in, we sat for over 3o mins no drinks no order taken. The tables around us dirty. The servers rude. Don't eat here. Waist of money over priced. The servers hair is messy un brushed crap in her nasty teeth. Really just gross looking. Horrible and they have roaches probably brought in by their project employees read more

My favorite breakfast place in Pooler, GA. Omg, the moment I came inside.. It smelled so good! You already know that you'll have a good meal. Everything comes out fresh and hot from the kitchen. I got myself the corned beef hash with egg on top. It was sodelicious, it has a generous amout of beef, perfectly seasoned and nice flavor. Pancake takes the cake, it was the first time I've had a crispy outside and soft on the inside pancake. It wasnt crispy crispy, it has crust. It was delicious. Sweet, melted chocolate chips and texture is a symphony on my mouth then balances it out with their homemade sausage. I just can't, I'll be BACK! If you are planning to eat here for breakfast, make sure you go in early as a lot of people go here as their usual breakfast place. read more

Love going to 1st Watch! We have a few of these out in Colorado which we frequent for a little breakfast goodness. Saw a new one here in the Pooler area and decided to give them a try, especially since our daughter hasn't been to a 1st Watch... this time though was for a quick lunch goodness. To start off, our server Tyran ,was absolutely awesome, so thank you. You are a blessing to this business. You treated us as if we were regulars to this establishment. The food was perfect! 2 Clubs for the ladies in the group and the Roast Beef w/ havarti cheese for me. I asked Tyran if the chef could heat the sandwich up and she made it happen. Another great meal at First Watch! Anytime I've been to these restaurants, everyone who works here is very warm and kind to the customers. Great job everyone! read more

Great atmosphere and great staff. Food was good and the quality and quantity are on point with the prices.

First time I came to this first watch was in May 2024 bar was dirty and no one to be seen to wait on you it took close to 30 min that a server who was called in to work to take our order we got our food and while we were eating one of the servers had the cleaning products ontop exposed to the food that was waiting to be served and continued to wash and use a hazardous product splashing as she washed infront of me while I was eating. Today I came back to be seated waited and had to call someone to ask to be waited on after 20 min the server comes with the coffee pot ordered million dollar bacon and oatmeal and specifically asked for strawberries and blueberries the order comes out after 30 min the bacon cold oatmeal with strawberries and walnuts the take it back bring the bacon back and the oatmeal took 30 min to come back server immediately brings the check and we noticed we were charged doble asked for a manager which I was told was cooking he comes out does not acknowledge us till I call him back explain myself he didn't seemed bothered none the less apologetic . The tables around us were not bussed it didn't seen that the staff were on top of things and manager didn't seem to care. read more

I decided to give First Watch a try and it looked like a nice place. I ordered a tequila sunrise and they poured some purple beverage that was incorrect. I told them that it's wrong and I ordered a tequila sunrise and they said they can only pour their own menu drinks and are unable to give me something else. I spoke to the manager and she confirmed they won't sell anything that isn't on the menu. I left and went to another broke. Egg cafe where they will serve their customers. First Watch- Your customers want to order what we want and not be pushed into what you think we want. Customers want choice and you don't give that so sorry I won't be back. read more

My family and I came here for brunch and we enjoyed our food and experience! The hostess was kind and she set up our table quickly for us having 8 people. We truly appreciated it! Our waitress was sweet and funny! She was attentive as well. My husband and I got the cranberry mimosa's and we loved them! We were happy when they gave the children in our party an interactive children's menu with coloring, a maze and scrambled words. My husband got the traditional breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon and roasted potatoes! He wanted to add American cheese but they did not have American cheese but the waitress suggested a different type of cheese he could add and he was grateful for the suggestion because he liked it! I got the eggs benedict with the salmon and the waitress informed me the kind of salmon they would be adding and I appreciated her for informing me that! My niece got the kids french toast with bacon and a fruit cup! She ate her entire french toast! She loved it! They have inside and outside seating! The inside is filled with booths and tables. We will definitely be coming here for our family brunch outings! read more

Really nice brunch place right off Pooler parkway! We went there on Sunday morning about 9 and there wasn't a large rush at the time. We were able to enjoy a leisurely Sunday brunch ! It was a really cold day, and the hot coffee and breakfast helped. The place just opened up and everything is bright and shiny inside. They have parking all around the building and also next to it. The crew is great - polite and attentive! I ordered the Chickichanga without the Chorizo and my husband ordered the Avocado Toast and a Banana Pancakes. The Chickichanga tasted fresh and flavorful, the Avocado toast was good as well, but the best dish was the pancake! It was light, crisp in the right places and topped with a generous scoop of butter. Food was quite good but it would've been great if there were some Veggie/Vegan options as some of their breakfast bowls were cooked in Chicken stock although they didn't have any meat. They did have Avocado toast, which was great but would be nice if it had a couple of options as well. Overall a very enjoyable experience and we highly recommend the banana pancakes! read more
