I love this chain. I usually go to the one on Preston but this one has better service. They seated me without my party being completely there which was amazing. The boyfriend ordered the morning meditation and it was so refreshing I ended up taking it from him. I love that this place offers lactose free Cramers! You don't know how many bonus points that adds for me. The million dollar bacon is to die for! So sweet and delicious. The tables at spacious. We had a 4 month baby in our party and we had plenty of room for food and toys. The waiting area is a tad bit small but they have a great online check-in system so you don't have to be there long. This place and location is hands down my favorite breakfast place! read more

First Watch - My two favorite people - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Tried First Watch today for the first and last time. The service was not that good. I sat for more than 10min before anyone even acknowledged me and finally the person who sat me at the table asked if anyone had helped me. I told him no and he had to go get the person responsible for that section. I appreciate him doing that. The food was subpar at best. IMO not worth the time. I only gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because the greeter/cashier was very apologetic for my experience. read more

Brunch is the meal that brings our family together when we visit. We have been to the Houston location and loved it and wanted to share this wonderful naturalistic type ambiance and food. I ordered elevated sandwich . Which was amazing , brioche bread was a perfect pair . I didn't really care for the zesty lemon sauce , which was a bit too lemon-eee for me. Sandwich wasn't enough for me so I ordered the AM superfood bowl with coconut milk with chia seed , granola, strawberries, blueberry, some type of fruit jam. The Super Bowl tasted amazing but my one big big complaint is full advertisement the picture shows way more coconut milk and chia seeds and my bowl had very minimal. When I asked the server he told me they just scoop it and that's the serving size. Well that's very displeasing and DECEPTIVE!!!! For the price of $7.99 is a ripoff will not recommend it. But I will say again this is a tasty treat . My daughter loves the pancakes with powder sugar on the side. They have this cinnamon powder sugar that goes very well with it. My daughters a plain jane and hated syrups of any sort. Overall I would definitely recommend this for brunch. You get that ambiance that things are freshly ‍ cook. read more

First watch is absolutely delicious. I had a Bacon skillet it had onions cheese bacon pieces sausage it was so good. I also got Avacado toast for the table to share and it was sublime. I will definitely be going back I had my eye on the crab omellete which I think is seasonal so I have to go back and try it before it's off the menu. My friend had this when i got my skillet and she raved about it so I have to try it! Service was ok but the guy that checked us out more than made up for the mediocre service we received from our waitress. This place gets very packed and very quickly so go early and have a great breakfast. read more

where to begin? I don't give many 2 or 3 star reviews but I wasn't impressed. I drove past First Watch a couple days ago and the parking lot looked full so I thought to myself, let's check it out since I love breakfast and like trying new places. This First Watch is located in Richardson on Campbell in the old Egg and I space (The Egg and I that wasn't very good in this guy's opinion) and it's on the opposite end of a small strip mall from Taco Ocho. Upon entering, it appears the restaurant has been re-configured and the layout is fresh, clean and looks nice. I was seated quickly and my server was courteous, attentive and very nice. The menu has some nice options and it looks like a fairly healthy place to eat. I decided to get coffee and they try to push their fresh juices on everyone - I wasn't in the mood and was a little disappointed as the guy in the booth next to mine was offered samples of all the juices, yet no sample offers were made to me. After debating between a skillet breakfast, the tri-fecta (which comes with a multi-grain pancake or Belgian waffle), I opted for the Chickichanga which is described as "whipped eggs with spicy all-natural white-meat chicken, chorizo sausage, green chilies, cheddar and monterey jack, onions, and avocado rolled in a flour tortilla. Topped with Vera Cruz sauce and sour cream. Served with fresh fruit and fresh, seasoned potatoes. Sounds good, right? It wasn't bad but here is my take: 1) the "whipped eggs" are not inside the chickichanga - the whipped eggs are on top of the flour tortilla like a small covering (battering if you would) and honestly, there couldn't have been more than one or two eggs, if that on my changa. 2) the Vera Cruz sauce seemed more like a creamy hollandaise sauce 3) it was pretty messy, but I guess that should be expected with all of the ingredients 4) there was white meat chicken in the changa, but not much and didn't seem spicy at all, and I didn't even realize there was chorizo until I looked up the menu online just now. 5) the breakfast potatoes seem like the frozen store bought kind - could have been better 6) the fruit was fresh - all two grapes, a quarter of a strawberry, two pieces of honeydew, and a piece of pineapple all-in-all, the Chickichanga was filling and I ate all of it but I was pretty disappointed, so much so that I thought about getting a breakfast taco from Taco Ocho or heading down to Torchy's Taco down Campbell where you damn near get an omelette in your breakfast taco. For a $15 breakfast, I expected more but that's why we try new places, to live and learn what you like and to find places that you'll go back to, I probably won't be back anytime soon. Nothing against the services - it was very good but the food, at least the breakfast potatoes and chickichanga could use a little work. Here are some pros to balance my fairly harsh review: 1) Ample parking in the lot and around the building 2) good, fast, friendly service 3) healthy menu and fresh fruit (and juices) 4) some people are offered juice samples 5) clean, aesthetically pleasing restaurant 6) this location in Richardson has only been open for 5 months, so there's a good chance it will be open for a while 7) The Egg and I location was filled - that was place run down and even more disappointing read more

Delicious! Our first visit was today. How did we not know about First Watch? We drive by it all the time. Favorite daughter had iced coffee and said it was a hit. We shared 2 chocolate Chip multigrain pancakes and an elevated egg sandwich - egg fried hard and no mayo Next time we will get 1 pancake They are not kidding - these are humongous lol The potato's were divine but the sandwich heavenly The bun is light and the cheese egg and arugula mix is perfection I appreciate that they serve hot tea - because some of us drink hot tea and not coffee - so other restaurants need to get on board and not act like I'm an alien for ordering it We are planning our return already and told several friends about our find Yum! read more

Delicious food! The avocado toast was superb - mashed avocado on top of their multigrain bread. It's not just any bread but it was dense and easy to cut with a knife. The green juice they make with kale is easily drinkable and just enough sweet. Hands down I'd return for breakfast once again. read more

Food was great and the service was outstanding. Shoutout to Jessica serving us too! She was very nice!!

Before I start, I want it understood that our waitress Kinnesha was awesome! This location Used to Be The Egg & I. I ordered the usual traditional breakfast with an extra egg sausage and bacon and biscuits with gravy. Comparison is impossible since they have smaller portions, the eggs are probably grade A small to medium rather than large, the bacon and sausage are barely flavorful, the biscuits are dry. The biscuits and gravy are an absolute sin Southern food fair, it is some kind of chicken pot pie filler gravy with a hint of salt. The potatoes are flavorless dry and not even salt and pepper could save them! The bacon is somewhat dry but I believe that is from the convection oven. The sausage links work and I have some turkey as well or semi-dry again probably convection oven which does tend to dry food out when overcooked. My girlfriend has eggs benedict and she says it was good, the Grits taste pretty much like they did when this was The Egg & I, so that is at least one Saving Grace. If you are on a doctor ordered diet, where you have to drink or eat flavorless cardboard food items, this is the place for you! By the way, I sent back the biscuits with the chicken pot pie filler gravy! That does not belong in the state of Texas, let alone the south! If you like and flavorless items; were you simply just hate someone, definitely eat at First Watch, we will not be back! read more

Great food and atmosphere. Very unique pairings & farm to table food. If I found myself in Flower Mound again, I would go back.

This is one of my husbands favorite places, mine not so much. He loved it for their freshness and quality of food. While I agree their food is good, we haven't received the greatest service. Seems like each time the servers we get insist on memorizing our order, usually doesn't bother me, BUT each time at least one of our orders comes out wrong. Our orders aren't complicated, but usually a simple dietary adjustment or our egg preference. They're usually incredibly busy, so getting our servers attention to remedy the issue in a timely matter hasn't worked out for us, and typically we feel bad sending something back in the middle of a mad rush, so we usually just grin and bear it. read more

Atmosphere and waitresses were very welcoming. Those morning drinks are delicious aren't full of sugar. The watermelon was a table favorite. Food was tasty, but the salmon Frittata felt more like an omelette. Love that they have a lot of healthy options to choose from. read more

Just meh. Service is pretty poor here. Food is just okay. Last seating people has a tablet to know what seats are available but it doesn't seem that the staff utilize the system as she walked around to see what tables were available before seating us. Waitress took five minutes to get to us and seemed like a deer in the headlights. Seemed to be struggling. After requesting clean glasses after seeing the dirty ones we were given, she never came by except to give us the check (another waitress brought our food out). Food portions were smaller than what yo would expect but decent enough. My wife asked for a little bit of cheese blended into her eggs. Instead, she got a handful of cheese thrown on top and melted into the eggs under the hot lamp. Tasted nothing but cheese! I had the Chikichanga. It was decent. Definitely could use more heat and MORE CHICKEN since that is in the name of the dish. I counted three pieces. The season potatoes are a lie. There is no seasoning. Nor are they cooked long enough Overall, a poor experience. Avoid this place. There are plenty of other restaurants that do service and food much better read more

I've been here before and I came once again. This was once Egg and I, but now it's become a farmy-hipsterish place. I would definitely recommend trying the breakfast specials that they have. The waffle I had included strawberries, granola, and warm syrup. I also got this morning drink (I forget what it's called, but it had a hint of ginger and strawberry juice.. anyways it was incredible). I think this place is open only for breakfast and brunch, so I highly recommend you check the times before you go! Other than that, enjoy! read more

I heard so much about this place but never got a chance to go until today. We came as a big group, and it was packed Sunday morning, but fortunately we didn't wait too long. I had egg Benedict Florentine, and I was disappointed by that and the service was below par. read more

Came here for brunch today with a friend. It was pretty packed at 10:30am on a Saturday, but the wait was only 20 minutes. A cool thing about this place was that we could sample the juices they had before ordering one. We sampled all three flavors and I ended up going with the Kale Tonic. It was really good and I highly recommend it! I ordered the Healthy Turkey for my meal. It's an egg white omelette with two toasts. The omelette was pretty bland but I really liked the whole grain bread they used. My friend ordered a 3 pancake stack and enjoyed his meal. Next time I'll probably order something less healthy so I can get some good flavor in my meal. Heads up that you have to get up and pay at the counter after your meal! read more

First time visit. Maybe last time.. Menu has some great options and reasonable prices. Service and food was a problem. The floors were greasy and slippery Ray, the waiter,, needs to work on his people skills. He doesn't seem like a morning person. Barely greeted us and never checked on us. We had to get his attention to ask for things. The other staff members seemed more friendly. Get Ray some additional training. Our food looked great but was luke warm and cold. We like it hot. I liked having my own coffee pot and water jug. We may come again another day, but we'll wait see. The place is clean and bright. read more

I've really enjoyed other First Watches, and that's why I was surprised by this poor quality. The produce was very obviously not fresh. I was sitting near the kitchen so I saw them make my juice with Ocean Spray. When I got my food the avocado was old and sprouting. My friend got beans and they were still cold and clearly from a can. My other friend ordered a waffle and she really enjoyed it! Seems like they had good food, it was wasn't their fresh items. Was really disappointed, but if you love First Watch there are some great locations in the DFW area! read more

I've been here three times because I always come for their vegetarian meals. My favorite thing to get is the combo, which you get to pick two of the three listed food items: 1/2 sandwich, salad, soup. Typically, I have their market veggie sandwich and their tomato basil soup. I like their market veggie sandwich because the best part is the bread - seeded, fluffy inside, toasted with butter outside. The sautéed veggies complement the bread nicely, but it's even better when dipped into the hot soup! So good!! I like my tomato basil slightly chunky and a bit tart when it's creamy. They make it just right! My boyfriend introduced me to this place when I was craving brunch. Usually, he gets an omelette there, but he wanted to try their roast beef and havarti sandwich with soup of the day: italian wedding soup. He really liked it! I love how their food is reasonably priced and the establishment is similar to a homestyle western diner. Alike a diner, if you're tipping in cash, you leave it on the table; however, you have to take your bill to the front to pay for the meal. Our servers we've had when we visited twice were very nice and professional - always walking around to make sure their tables are good and satisfied. The only reason why I docked off a star was because during one of my visits with a friend I wanted to share the experience with, our server seemed to be in a rush and didn't care much about our time. We came around noon, so it wasn't clear why he wasn't so happy to help us. Maybe he was worn out from the lunch rush? I get my typical sandwich and soup, my friend gets one of their omelettes. It took us a while to get our food although everyone was leaving the lunch rush. Our foods came in hot. I'm happy to finish my food, but watching my friend just finish his toast and not his omelette was a sign he really didn't like the food. I noticed how bland his omelette was despite how it was represented in the menu description. Even with extra salsa and tabasco sauce couldn't help it. Be careful when ordering their omelettes, especially if you're a picky eater! They're a good size, but the one we had was not tasty. read more

Went there today for brunch for the first time and it was okay but not great. We checked in early in app and still waited 40 min it was very busy. Our server seemed agitated not at us but was at the end of a busy shift. I tried the Eggs Benedict classic and I was hoping to like it but it was underwhelming. The hollandaise tasted very lemony and the potatoes were undercooked. The ham on the Eggs Benedict was a deli ham like straight out of a package. My son got the Tri-Fecta and he said it was good but he could have eaten two of them. My wife had the BLT Benedict and it was okay but didn't have enough flavor and it needed salt. read more

Excellent food, excellent service! What else could you need? Great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The eggs Benedict was tasty. Side of potatoes cooked perfectly soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside but I got to say one of my favorite items on the menu is the million dollar bacon! Nice fatty, savory goodness with a little drizzle of syrup. Definite must try! read more

I have come here a couple times always good food. A nice spin to a healthier breakfast. I was disappointed when I came here for lunch and no one greeted or seated us. There was someone busy with cashing out, seemed like they got hit with a lot at once. The people in front of us as well as us ended up seating our selves. It also took a while for someone to come around, but I wouldnt have been surprised if no one came around at all. In the future I would recommend this establishment have the host stand covered as that is your first impression of a restaurant. Even have waiters that passed by to help or say someone will be with us would've been nice but we got no such thing. read more

Visited on a weekend morning after a conference nearby and during a visit to a friend. I was excited to visit upon reading the good reviews.... But did not get the hype AT ALL. The food is overrated, expensive and bland. Had the avocado toast (the first time my reaction to an avocado was "eh"), coworker had the waffles. Meh... Batter was dense and overly chewy, clearly a bad recipe. Nothing to write home about. Decor was pretty and clean; it's open and airy design felt like a nice brunch place. Service was excellent especially considering they were understaffed... Just a sign of the poor management and ownership. I felt I wasted a breakfast meal on my short stay; bad management and mediocre food made this location one of my few 1-star locations. read more

We love this restaurant but this experience was ridiculous. We beat the rush so you can't blame them being too busy. Everything we ordered took forever - coffee included. My food came out cold and I thought they would make the redo a priority - nope! Took forever and I ended up needing to take half to go. We couldn't find our waiter to get the check and to go containers. Had to chase down the people at the front - still had to wait. read more

I was suddenly craving breakfast and brunch food and found out that the Egg & I was replaced with this restaurant. I was excited to give this place a try because I saw that they serve skillet dishes! I ordered the Farmhouse hash skillet with two poached eggs and I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit disappointed when I saw my waiter bring out our hash skillets in a small bowl. Surprisingly, the meal was fulfilling, the potatoes were well seasoned and the whole grain toast paired beautifully with the homemade strawberry jam (yum!!). My only complaint is that the food wasn't hot and they could use more meat in the skillet. read more

We've always looked forward to coming to First Watch. So much so that we drive from east Garland to Richardson early in the morning for breakfast. EBut, this morning's experience has caused us to lose the excitement. They were very accommodating, finding me a convenient table to park myself in my wheelchair. But it took 1/2 hour for the food to arrive and, when it did, my eggs were cold and my ham was cold, dry, and tough. I very much enjoyed the Belgian waffle, though. My husband's pancake, the usually delicious multigrain pancake we generally crave, was cold too. We've decided that it's no longer worth the drive. read more

First Watch is great because they use organic products. While it is a bit pricey, it has never disappointed me. I always order the avocado toast which can be hit or miss, depending where you get it. At First Watch it's always fresh. If you go during the weekend, que prepared to wait about 20 minutes to be seated. read more
