If you're female, by yourself and get seated behind the cashier, do NOT expect to be served. This was such a disappointing experience! I happened to be in the area this morning and was looking forward to a great breakfast here since I've always liked the food. The truffled frittata on the seasonal menu looked amazing. After quite some time, I finally made my decision, then realized no one had acknowledged my presence, much less been by to fill my water. The guy that seated me was rather sullen, too. So now I'm hangry and writing this review, and planning to share by word of mouth, too. read more

I love everything about this place, from the decor and vibe, my super cute server and the creative menu. I ordered the millionaire bacon (it was good, but nothing to write home about), the cheese grits and the lemon ricotta pancakes. I loved that the pancakes wasn't overly sweet. The pop of lemon from the Lemon curd on top was LIFE. read more

I moved to the Dallas area recently and if I could order this everyday I would I love love it! the bestttt

Placed a Togo order, was on wait for the longest time. Not only did I ask for potato's instead of beans which they so clearly messed up on. But also charge me extra for grilled onions when I asked for it , yet didn't come with any. AND NO SILVERWARE like it's so hard to remember. Do not recommend this location read more

This is my favorite brunch place, by far. I am doing my best to try all of the menu! Please keep up the good customer service and great food. read more

I keep coming back every couple of months to see if this place gets better, and it always disappoints. Ever since this location was bought out by first watch and converted, it only continues to decline. Customer service is not encouraged by management. The pork sausage seems cheap, as it was full of the hard pieces that show up in cheap sausage. The sourdough bread is hard and came out barely buttered, the eggs were undercooked and the food came out cold. They don't offer oatmeal by the cup. So if you like it as a side, you have to buy the whole extra meal. This place is successful because there aren't enough breakfast places in Richardson. Lack of options over quality of food. read more

Great breakfast and good service. Definitely will come back I had family from out of state we all loved the service food and atmosphere. Great menu a selections read more

When we pulled up and the parking lot had lots of spaces, we just thought we beat the weekend rush there use to be at this location and we were excited. But after entering we realized why. Getting service was a challenge or even to get coffee. After 15 minutes we asked the hostess for her assistance in getting service. After a few minutes a guy came by and said he would be right with us. After a couple more minutes he was. So 20 minutes for coffee. We got our drinks and placed the order. Watched others who can in after us get drinks and food before us. Once it came the eggs were not basted as requested and were cold. The potatoes were burnt in places and still hard in others. The rest of meal was ok. Ran out of coffee in the in the carafe after 1 cup each So why was it not full when received. Yes replacement eggs received hot and correct. The part that really upset me is to see the staff sitting in back booths by kitchen chatting instead of taking care of customers. 5 staff were witnessed in 3 booths. Others were observed leaning on kitchen equipment instead of checking on customers Need to get their act together-avoid read more

My boss introduced me to this place about a year ago and felt in love with it. After that. AI decided to take my family to this place, I was absolutely sure they would love it, I was not wrong, we have been coming many times. Food is great, my favorites are the pancake with trifecta that comes w eggs and bacon and the veggie burger for whenever I am craving something different. Floridian french toast is super yummy also. Customer service is great as well. I always get different waiters and they always nice, no complaints, it usually gets busy in the morning and they will have you wait 10-15min for a table but its so worth the wait. My favorite breakfast place read more

Got the elevated egg sandwich that was very yummy! It came with pretty good potatoes. I would just let them know how you'd like your eggs because they came well done. Honestly this restaurant is my favorite breakfast place. Everyone there is very helpful and sweet, food is great, ambience is perfect! read more

I write this review as I'm sitting on their patio so I won't forget. I ordered The Works omelette sub sour cream for hollandaise, breakfast potatoes, with toast and preserves. Let me keep it short (not really lol) why it's overrated. 1. Cold food, noon on Friday and it's not packed. I would have at least liked to see my cheese stretch one time. My butter wasn't melted on the toast, because, cold. 2. Omelette execution- the pieces were so big inside, meat and veggies. The long strings of onion weren't done enough. I think all those chunky meats made it feel greasy in my mouth. 3. WHO PUTS LEMON IN HOLLANDAISE?! Seriously, it looked just like lemon curd. The waitress confirmed. That's not what hollandaise is about. Do you want lemon sauce on your eggs? Huh? Answer me! Just go to the Egg & I, I wish I had read more

Loved the million dollar bacon and pumpkin pancakes. Cozy brunch spot with friendly staff. There is usually a slight wait to be seated on weekends during brunch hours, but the food and service are worth the wait. read more

This place used to be very good but last Sunday we are very disappointed we order the egg Benedict the egg come out well done. Eggs Benedict without Poached Eggs ,they cook another other for us but this time I don't see the egg white look like the egg still raw .I think they may had a new chef or the chef not in good mood :( read more

This is just basic tasting food. Why do so many people go here? We waited 45 min and then once we were seated and ordered, we waited another 30 for our food. After we tasted it, my wife and I both said we wouldn't even come here if there was no wait. I am just shocked by how many people come here to eat. read more

I have been to First Watch three times since it opened. First visit was uneventful - I ordered normal breakfast fare bacon, eggs, and pancake - the food was just ok. The second visit, I had the lemon ricotta pancakes and they were awesome....until I found a hair in them. We told the server and then a female manager came over to apologize. More pancakes were brought out, however, I just couldn't bring myself to eat them. When we paid our ticket, the pancakes were included-which irritated me at the time, but we paid for them anyway. This was about six months ago. We woke up this morning and decided to go back to give First Watch another try. I ordered the AM breakfast bowl. I take one bite of the quinoa, then flip a slice of banana over.....and well, dang: a short thick black hair. *sigh* the server brought another bowl, but I just couldn't eat it. I did eat the almond butter toast which was just ok. I could have had more flavorful almond butter at home. This wasn't that great. Each piece had three little flakes of "special salt" which didn't do much to help the flavor-perhaps there was not enough of it to make a difference. This time, we did not have to pay for my breakfast, however, management was no where to be seen. The server was apologetic, and I do appreciate it. The person at the register taking payment was more blasé - a lackluster "sorry" I really wanted First Watch to be good. The menu looks great and before our food arrived this morning, I was commenting on how we should try out their lunch. After the second hair though, we won't be back. read more

I'm a bfast foodie so on my way out, I drove by the sign & figured it would be a nice new place to try! Allen was a little eager but you can't help but smile & giggle at his positive energy! Also, I think they have the best homefries I've ever had.. read more

I am done. I really love the food at this restaurant, but every time I go there, the service is HORRIBLE! They take forever to seat you, leave you sitting forever until you get up searching for your server, then you have to get up again and ask for your check so you can get out of there and NEVER come back. Definitely go to the other location on West Campbell! read more

Had a family Brunch which everyone enjoyed their meal. My son's Skillet was Perfect, so was the French Toast and Chicken Changa. I had the smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict which I would NOT recommend. It was $2 more and it was mostly tomato, bread w/hollandaise sauce. Where was the Salmon? Just two small slivers that didn't even come close to covering the bread. Well, back to Cyndis deli for my Salmon read more

First Watch - Salmon Eggs Benedict w/hardly any Salmon. Mostly Tomato - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This would be a 5 star review if it was just based on the quality and flavor of the food. We have been coming to this first watch and will go to first watches when we travel because of the consistency and quality of the coffee and food. So it hurts to leave this review. The service at this location is consistently poor and keeps getting worse. Today was the straw that broke the camel's back, we arrived at 8 and needed to be done with breakfast by 850. We waited 10 min to be greeted at our table and ordered right away. As we approached 30 min wait time for our food, we decided to leave as we would not have the adequate time to enjoy out food and the pay the check. I felt really terrible for walking out, but didnt have much choice. read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant! It was modern and comforting. Your server brings a glass jug of water as well as coffee if anyone at the table would like any. I had the Farmhouse skillet hash while my friend ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. Both dishes were amazing, as great as the service. The Farmhouse skillet hash included potatoes, sautéed onions, tomatoes, bacon, avocado, and topped with eggs - your choice on how it is cooked. You get a side of toast already topped with butter with strawberry jam and a side of fruits which included grapes, a piece of pineapple, cantaloupe, and a slice of strawberry. The pancakes were fluffy with a dollop of lemon ricotta and strawberries. They do offer "healthier" breakfast items which includes avocado toasts and turkey dishes. read more

Oh, how the winds of change have blown into this place. We starting coming here when it was "The Egg an I". The menu was new and progressive to us... and we liked it -- Scrambled egg dishes with Havarti Cheese, Fontina Cheese, Asparagus, Artichokes, Sun dried tomatoes, Hazelnut coffee and fresh fruit. The breakfast was some of the best I've had in the DFW area. Yesterday, my wife and I stopped in for our weekend breakfast. We knew the menu had changed when the name of the restaurant changed but we were totally devastated to know how much it had changed. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. When it arrived, I was beautifully presented on a plate that was too small, on a muffin was was 2/3 the size of a normal muffin and my side dish....MIXED GREENS!! Holy crapola, who in the world pairs MIXED GREENS with Eggs Benedict? My dish costs $12.00...which means for about $2.00 worth of food, I was completely over charged and left hungry. Oh, and the beautiful Hazelnut coffee....GONE. All they have now is just plain ol' coffee or decaff. What a horrible disappointment. I'm sure I will NEVER be back. read more

Very good quality of food, fresh and healthy. I love the Kale juice very much, it just tasted so refreshing. Prices are reasonable. I will definitely come back and recommend to my friends. read more

First Watch - Everything seems good - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This is now our go-to breakfast joint when we don't want to leave the suburbian embrace of Richardson. The menu is pretty extensive with both breakfast and lunch options. I always steer towards the breakfast side of the equation and they thankfully have healthy options as well as imaginative menu items that you wouldn't expect at a run of the mill breakfast joint. My wife is most likely addicted to the avocado toast here. Besides the wonderful and thorough menu, the prices are very fair and the staff are super friendly. Not fake friendly that you might get at Buffalo Wild Wings. These servers are genuinely friendly and happy to answer any question you may have about the menu or where ingredients are sourced from. if you want a good breakfast and don't want to break your wallet or belt, First Watch is a pretty good option in good ol Richardson. read more

I honestly think this might be my favorite restaurant. Anytime I decide to eat out for lunch during the week this is my go to. Their pesto chicken quinoa bowl is to die for so if you're looking for a chill little spot to grab a bite give this place a shot. I guarantee you won't regret it. read more

The food at First Watch is great. Service at this location is not as friendly as the service at their other location off Preston Rd. in Dallas. They also need to update their check in system because multiple people were told 30-40 minutes (including us) and many of us waited for almost an hour. It could have been bad timing, and it wasn't a deal breaker for us. I can see how some might get frustrated waiting. read more

I had the trifecta and split the lemon ricotta pancakes with my friend. I think what I liked about everything is that it tasted real. It was like when your mom would wake you up for breakfast on the weekend. It all tasted fresh. Very much like elevated homemade food. I will be a repeat customer for sure! read more

We read the reviews before going and thought we would still give it a try. I shouldn't have been surprised when we waited for 30 minutes on a Sunday morning. I ordered a Bacado Omelette and was shocked when I took my first bite. It was ICE BOX COLD! I told the waitress and she offered to get another one. I told her I didn't have the extra time to wait. I didn't eat it and I still had to pay for it. I hope anyone else that chooses to go has better luck. read more

This is the perfect go-to brunch place! Atmosphere is calming & the food is to die for. Only reason I had an issue with this restaurant is the wait & lack of service. Took me at least an hour wait to be seated (which i do not mind at all when it's visibly busy, but it was not) and the server we had barely checked up on us, took a while to order, and we were dying of thirst as we tried to waive her down for more refills on. Love the food and all but the service/wait was not worth it for me :/ read more

Food was okay. Could have been way better. We came on a busy Saturday morning and I get it, they're slammed. So our server took a while to greet us. By then we were ready to order food as well. When he brought our drinks he gave us our coffee, my "cold brew", and a water pitcher. No glasses for the water. The cold brew was as if they had taken regular brewed coffee and put ice in it and also had a big lipstick print on one side. Which took more than 20 minutes (when another server delivered our food) to tell someone and get glasses for water. (This is an edit: forgot to mention they brought me a completely different drink when I asked for a new glass.) Food was like I said, okay. The potatoes weren't cooked all the way, as if the kitchen was so busy they couldn't cook them fast enough. And my sandwich had half of ingredients on just one side. Our server was so quick to ask us if we were okay that he actually answered his own question i.e. "are you guys doing okay? Good good good". I couldn't get a word in. I do want to say our server had an amazing attitude and I'm not frustrated with him at all. He was working with what he had and was maybe a bit stressed. When we went to pay at the front, they asked us how it was. I said it was not very good. And they just stared at me and proceeded with the payment. Really weird. There are a few other things I could mention but it just seems like nagging at this point. It was just okay and I'm upset no one really cared to check on us. read more

I absolutely love coming here with my family and/or girlfriend because of the service and food. My favorite dishes have been the trifecta and the summer crab omelet. The morning meditation is fantastic as well since they add turmeric into the drink. Today I had the summer blush - which is the new drink on the menu that contains watermelon, Fuji apple, and more. It was absolutely INCREDIBLE! read more

My favorite breakfast place, i either go to this location or the Plano location. They have the main menu and a seasonal menu. I always try to order something new and never disappointed. The coffee is super delicious and If you want a cool beverage the kale tonic is a great. I've been there on the weekdays and weekends. The best time to go is during the weekday for no wait time. On the weekends you are looking for a 15-30 minuet waitlist. You get your money worth and size portions are great. read more
