    Small, and busy location. Parking is limited, parking around back if any available. Expect a wait, be patient. Food; Started out with the Million dollar bacon and it did not disappoint. I decided to go off the season menu, and got the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast, it was really good but it may have had too much toppings that it overpowered the actual French Toast. But still very good and refreshing, not too heavy. Service; our server was fast and friendly.

    Ham and Gruyère Cheese Sandwich

    We had a weekday brunch at First Watch today. The Associates at the front desk warmly greeted us and seated us. The wait staff was quickly to our table to get beverage orders. We placed our orders and were served very quickly. I had a chickichanga and my wife had a Ham and Gruyère cheese on ciabatta bread. Both came with home fried potatoes. We followed that up with pumpkin donut holes and both Carmel and vanilla dipping sauces. First Watch was busy but the noise level was muted enough that we could carry on our conversation. The wait staff was attentive and very courteous checking back to make sure we had everything we needed offering refills without being asked. Everything was delicious.

    Everything omelet.
    Ron C.

    Giving them another try. Burnt potatoes and salty, toast is white asked for new ones. The Omelet was assembled and not cooked. Their lunch is better. The coffee is good. Waiter was nice.

    Roaches

    They got some very friendly roaches. Maybe they just want a little snack. Server said they found roaches on plates of food as well

    I must say that this was one of the best breakfast experiences I have ever had. The food was phenomenal and the staff was amazing as well! Everyone was so pleasant and just overall made the visit enjoyable. Me and my guest throughly enjoyed our food and coffee everything was fresh definitely 10/10. The building was clean, the table was clean. I will be talking about this experience for the rest of the year and all of 2024!

    Steak and Bacon Burrito
    Lauren S.

    I love First Watch, but today's new tries set me to a new level. Our waitress, Rocky, was phenomenal. She was attentive, accurate, and personable, more than most. She made sure we knew what was in the food we ordered and that we ordered exactly what we wanted. The food: The coffee is always hot and fresh. I ordered the Market Hash Skillet. The hash is a little misleading because it doesn't have hash in it. I confirmed before ordering as I'm not a fan of hash. The skillet is a mix of fresh vegetables, goat cheese, potatoes, and eggs. The goat cheese blends the flavors seamlessly. My husband ordered the seasonal steak and bacon burrito. That thing was huge and full of flavor and protein. I snuck a bite and worth the hype. It was a nice mix of the red and white sauce. Can't wait to come back!

    Delicious food!! Everything was super fresh ' prepared really well. Great service today too!

    Breakfast sandwich with chicken sausage
    C B.

    One of the best places for me to get breakfast as they offer several pork free options. Our service was fantastic even though they were slammed. My breakfast sandwich was great I was so happy they let me sub chicken sausage in lieu of the bacon. This is one of the only places I can have biscuits and gravy. I was just a little disappointed in how transparent the gravy was. I had high hopes for it to be amazing.

    Skillet hash

    Quick friendly service. Love how consistent yet, exploratory and exciting the menu can be. Safe yet tasteful spins on healthy dishes. Reasonably priced, fresh and filling! Very farmhouse rusty yet bright and clean esthetic.

    Tacos Al Pastor Hash
    Jacob S.

    Nice breakfast spot when out on business. Breakfast Served all day. They have a nice fresh spin on traditional classics. They normally feature monthly specials, this one in particular was quite good! Overall the food was flavorful and the service was standard. A solid choice for breakfast or brunch!

    Elote Breakfast Burrito and Kale Tonic

    This Elote Breakfast Burrito is the bomb! So colorful and flavorful! Swapped out chorizo for chicken sausage since I don't eat red meat. Deanna was an excellent server.

    Chile Chorizo
    Jill B.

    I think First Watch is a solid breakfast spot. I haven't been wow'ed by any dish but all the food I have got has been good. They have good coffee and usually good service. Go early in the morning because this place usually gets packed.

I ordered from the 614 Restaurant menu, for $20 I got a lot of delicious food! The tater tots were the crispest I ever had, and the pulled pork and cheese on top was a an added bonus. The meal came with two sliders, one I chose a traditional hamburger with pickle, cheese and ketchup and mustard. The other was a huge piece of fried chicken on a buttermilk bun and the chicken was juicy and done perfectly! My side was Mac and cheese and I chose an oatmeal Whoopi cookie. A delicious meal for sure!

I'm not going to completely bash, because for one this place is hip, no question. This place is clean, the restrooms were very clean, and that is something unfortunately some establishments struggle with. The service was great, very friendly and very prompt. What got me is the prices set for these little sliders. Ouch! I'm not going to place the prices on here but c'mon, give us some slack on the price gouging. This is a huge deterrent for me, snd almost makes the food taste a certain way, even knowing it may me a 2 star Michelin chef in the back grill. Again the price is what threw me for a negative loop, was it bad, no. Was this overpriced like most bar n grills, well absolutely it is! Can we go back to the red plastic cup prices that we grew up with back in the day. Sorry, I'm being nostalgic.

This place had very clean carpet flooring, plus restrooms were very clean as well. This place had a family feel to it, almost like home. The service was great, even had a server that had a trainee that was training at our table. This is an example of a place that cares about a good curriculum of hands on training. Very good customer service. Even had the manager come check in on us and took our to go order for us. So service an A+. Food was great, burger that I ordered came just how I like, was a plain burger. No fanciness to it, no steak knife jammed in the middle, no 6" tall mound, just a plain, good ol' fashion backyard burger. Yum! Wings were cooked great, seasoned with a hot nashville rub. Chicken tenders were plump, and hearty for something so simple off the menu. My son enjoyed them. The fish n chips came out with 2 huge filets of battered fish. My wife had to take the rest home. All in all, not a bad spot to stop and enjoy good food. Not loud at all like most bar n grills. Place almost had an 80's family feel to it. I think the carpeted floors played a part in that nostalgic feel for me. I need to bring my folks here next time they are in town. Will definitely be returning soon.

Then we waited for 20 minutes. We didn't even get menus. Two tables were seated after us and were already ordering when we decided to give up and try another place. I don't like assuming people are prejudiced. I want to believe our server just happened to overlook the one table of brown people because they're a teenage girl going through a hard time. So that's what I choose to believe. I just hope the place shapes up, because someone else might not have taken it as well as we did. On the bright side, the staff seemed friendly (when we left, two servers near the entrance told us to have a nice day) and the dishes at the tables around us looked really good. I hope to come back and successfully try that chicken noodle soup someday
