    Purple Haze Lemonde & Pineapple Express
    Jade R.

    I visited First Watch for the first time and redeemed my BOGO birthday entrée. I ordered the Traditional Breakfast which included scrambled egg whites, sourdough toast, turkey sausage links, and roasted potatoes. For my drink, I got the Purple Haze Lemonade, which was really good! The food was a little bland and the potatoes were soft. I ate barely half my food. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice though.

    Food is average, the morning meditation drink is to die for. The service is slow but it's also busy so I get it. The ambiance is country style and lively. Yummy breakfast for after the gym

    We've been to this location of First Watch a couple of times now and have had good experiences. Their menu has a variety of items including pancakes, french toast, egg dishes, lighter options, etc. as well as a kids menu. A lot to pick from for everyone. My favorites here have been the french toast and million dollar bacon. Their veggie scramble is a good option if you're looking for something that has veggies and is a bit lighter (although they do have more hearty ones too with other meat). Service has been pretty consistently good. We tend to go earlier in the morning when it's not as busy. Overall, a good breakfast option in Queen Creek!

    Quality food, great ambiance, and excellent service! I enjoyed the chick chickichanga very much!

    This place is very popular! We arrived on a Friday at 10 AM and there was a short wait to get in. We love that Decker and all of the Weight staff is super friendly! The coffee is OK, it's a little dark for our taste. It's nice they give you a full carafe if you want a refill. We ordered the pancake platter with eggs and bacon. The pancakes are a wheat pancake, which I liked, but my husband didn't love. The eggs were cooked nicely and you get four pieces of tasty bacon! I ordered the frittata omelette with the salad and artisan toast and a side of two turkey sausage. My meal was very nice. The turkey sausage was pretty good, but since Don had so much bacon, I ended up taking it home. We look forward to returning and trying other items on the menu.

    Came in with my sisters, some of our kids, and Grams!! We had a little birthday brunch. Service was a bit slow, but good. We each got different things- my turkey Club was ok. I asked for the sourdough to be toasted, and that definitely was a great addition. The sandwich was lacking in flavor. It needs something acidic like honey mustard, pickled something, or the greens to be dressed in a tangy vinaigrette. Daughter salad was good. They overheard we had birthdays, and our server brought us out muffins with a candle. We will be back, and ill try something new!!

    Tri-Fecta was delicious.  No one makes my eggs the way I like them but I decided to give it a shot and they were PERFECT!

    Food was AMAZING. 10/10 Service was absolutely incredible 10/10 The ambiance was such a cool, relaxed vibe. 10/10 Highly recommend.

    I started mixing my eggs and potatoes before I took the picture, but it was absolutely stunning.

    I'm decided to treat myself to breakfast.I don't have any opportunities to do this.And really enjoyed myself. I was by myself, but they sat me at a booth as my preference, which was really kind. The waitress was very attentive and making sure that I was comfortable and had everything I needed, though.She was very busy in her section with large parties. I had the biscuits in Turkey. Sausage gravy and eggs would roasted potatoes, meal and as for a side of gravy and that bowl, there was the side of gravy, which was way too much, but absolutely delicious. The BlackBerry iced tea, this refillable was so refreshing and delicious. I ended up having 2 glasses and the whole meal cost about 25 bucks. This mail was delicious. I didn't have to put any seasoning on anything. Potatoes, season perfectly eggs, my eggs had cheese on them seasoned perfectly, the biscuits in gravy with the sausage, perfect combination for me.That's a great sign of good cooking.When you don't have to salt or pepper to anything, you're literally just start eating and that's what I did. I will definitely be going back when I'm able to treat myself again.

    We love this place so much yesterday we came back for breakfast today. Sierra and Vaughn were our servers yesterday and Matt was our server today. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. The ambience is open and the decor is welcoming. We had the Chickichanga. It was a delicious omelette filled with chorizo, chicken and avocado. It was topped with sour cream and a pico de gallo hollandaise sauce. So far it is our favorite and one of the items that brought us back in today. We also enjoyed the million dollar potatoes and million dollar bacon. The million dollar potatoes are country potatoes, diced up with an Alfredo sauce with million dollar bacon on top. The million dollar bacon was bacon coated with maple syrup and sprinkled with black pepper. Today we ordered an extra which was the lemon blueberry cornbread. It was cornbread that was loaded with blueberries and topped with a lemon butter. Great service and great food thank you so much for the wonderful experience

    Pumpkin pancake with sausage

    We love a good family friendly breakfast/brunch spot! The atmosphere is always vibin and the food is consistent! We ordered from the fall menu today and everything was fabulous! Pumpkin donuts with vanilla cream sauce for dipping & the pumpkin pancake was made with love & to perfection! My favorite treat is the mint iced coffee mocha & we couldn't have been happier with the service. Our wait time was 10 mins less than projected as well! See you next time!

    Third time was not a charm. My third sitting here. Sat at the bar, it was just me. The server was wonderful, pleasant and attentive. I ordered the steel cut oats, described as served with with a blueberry muffin; milk; brown sugar, berries, bananas, and pecans. It arrived, no berries, a thick hard clump of room temp, oats, very little milk. The muffin was cold with a sweaty top, indicating it was refrigerated or frozen and had not been warmed. I was handed my check and told to go to the cashier. No problem. I did. I waited almost 10 minutes as the hostess continued to wander around, checking in new guests, and handing out to go orders. Oblivious to those waiting to check out. The entryway was now full, she started to assist yet another walk in, so I politely stepped over and said I'd like to pay, at which point she said, okay give me a second. I didn't respond with, I've given you nearly 10 minutes. Proceeded to pay. The server should get five stars! The overall experience raised from 1 star to 2 based on the server alone. This was my third and final attempt at First Watch.

    Blueberry Lemon Cornbread

    We came in hungry and left questioning why we ever eat anywhere else. From the moment we sat down, our server, Von, set the tone patient enough to handle our indecisiveness (which deserves an award on its own), and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Not once did we feel rushed, and every question was met with thoughtful, helpful answers. What really stood out, though, were the suggestions. This wasn't your typical "everything's good" kind of guidance our server clearly knew the menu inside and out and steered us toward dishes we might not have picked ourselves... and wow, they did not miss. Every recommendation was a hit. The food arrived quickly (honestly, faster than we expected), and everything was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly light while still being completely satisfying. It's that perfect balance of healthy and delicious that makes you feel like you're winning at life. Between the top notch service and the incredible food, this place easily earned a spot on our "we'll definitely be back" list. But let's be honest we might be coming back just as much for that server as we are for the food.

    This was a sandwich and Italian wedding soup.
    Holly M.

    Had breakfast/lynch here today to try out this new location. Our server was very helpful and gave us great service. I had a 1/2 sandwiches and cup of Italian wedding soup. I liked the roast beef and havarti sandwich. However the soup just wasn't popping for me. It had these little tiny pasta balls instead of noodles so those were a texture thing for me I couldn't get past. The 2 tiny meatballs that were in it tasted like they were freezer burned? I don't know the soup just wasn't working. Luckily my daughter was hungry and ate it so we didn't waste food. I should have stuck with a solid breakfast option. Love the inside decor of this location. It's got a cute country vibe!

    I'm a huge fan of Better Buzz!…read more They have the best matcha lattes I've found anywhere. I always substitute almond milk and get it 75% sweet and it's absolutely perfect! One thing that I've noticed about Better Buzz is that they rarely make a mistake - their consistency is important... and appreciated! This Gilbert location has tons of available comfortable seats, which is great when you're looking for a place to sit and get some work done! I always order ahead, so I don't have too many interactions with the baristas... but of those I have had, they're friendly and helpful! *****FIVE STARS*****

    Update 6/9. I want to add to this fairly, because credit where it's due, the response was fast at…read morefirst. My review went up on 5/21 and by the very next day, 5/22, a regional manager named Jayson responded publicly as the business owner, and left his email. I emailed him that same day, and after I followed up on 5/27 he wrote back, copied the store manager, and asked me to send my phone number and a good time so we could talk it through directly. I did exactly that, same day. That was 5/27. It is now 6/9 and I have not heard a word back. No email, no call, no text. The original incident was 5/10, so we are at 30 days now. This wasn't a stray hair - that's relatively benign and sometimes happens in food prep, not great but harmless. This was a different category of foreign body in food: fragments that looked like they came off equipment, which means whatever produced them is presumably still in use, still capable of doing it again to the next person. This is what made the unresponsiveness frustrating. It's not about my daughter's one açaí bowl, it's about whether the thing that caused it ever got looked at. A simple "we looked at it, can't determine yet what happened, but we'll update you" would have been fine, but I got boilerplate "you deserve better" corporate slop. I didn't want my ego stroked, I wanted them to look into something serious. They are great at moving fast in public: their Yelp! reply was up within a day, right under my review, where everyone can see it. But the private follow-up, the part nobody else is watching, has now gone three weeks radio silent, after they were the ones who asked for my number, but never used it. Fast when it's visible, and crickets when it's not, tells you where the attention really goes. If you're reading this and trying to decide, take a little time with the reviews here, the detailed ones and the thin ones, the recent and the older, and decide for yourselves if there is a pattern or not. I'm done with them, they lost my trust. For the record, their açaí bowls when they don't contain bits of industrial machinery are pretty good, but we'll go to Swami's when we are in Oceanside and will try to find something else in the valley.

Had a great afternoon with friends this time around.

Like my previous visit, the only challenge here is the food line, which can get very long. We got lucky and arrived just before the queue exploded. Overall, still a fantastic spot to gather with friends, enjoy the outdoor vibe, and soak up a beautiful Arizona afternoon -- just try to time your visit before the big rush. Saluti.
