I tried chickichanga and my husband had veggie sandwich with butternut squash soup today and we both loved our dishes. Their coffee is not so good but we'll definitely visit again fo their breakfast option to try other dishes. I recommend this place for a nice flavoured food. read more

When it was Egg & I the food was always hot, we'd come multiple times a week, LOVE breakfast. Now the real stuff: First Watch, has potential but food is constantly lack luster. Plus being a Richardson resident and working here it's nice to habe a local breakfast joint. Luke warm food or not even warm enough for butter to melt on a pancake. Service is slow, yet I can't discount the smiles from the staff. Ordered "To Go" called it in since I have meetings to attend, plus it's across the street from my office, yet still waited for a long time once I arrived. Because I decided a slightly warm pancake was not sufficient I had to wait for a fresh one which meant, little more time, making the original order cold, but duhh. By the time I got across the street my Skillet Hash had formed up like cement, making it difficult to eat with pleasure. By the way, bring back the old way Egg & I did potatoes, they were amazing. In the end I miss the former, food was always hot whether To Go or eating in, making me at least feel it came directly from a grill. Suggestions, move a little swifter front & back staff, deliver hot and done, watch the front area for new patrons closer, continue with the smiles as it does seem natural and friendly making it appreciated. read more

This place has poor service and is way too expensive. Save your money and time. You'll have better service at McDonald's, and I hate McDonald's so that says a lot. read more

Thought this place was something totally different from what it was. Food wasn't bad wasn't good either neutral zone area lol. Silverware was not clean additionally had to send my wife's food back before they got it right. Little on the expensive side 40 bucks for 2 people for some breakfast Hmmmm. read more

Although First Watch is an acceptable establishment for breakfast, the food is sorely lacking in salt and makes me wish it's former occupant ( The Egg & I ). Their pancakes are HUGE. Think "flying saucer" meets carrot cake. They are a little on the dry side but thankful they are not too sweet so the dryness can be remedied with a little syrup. Good for a "healthier" breakfast but not my first choice for indulging. They do have, however, have wonderful breakfast taters! If you're feeling an aesthetically pleasing environment first thing in the morning and some not-so-bad for you breakfast this is your joint. If you want to INDULGE and drown in waves of butter then head to Breadwinners (Dallas) or Main Street Bakery ( Plano and Richardson). read more

Seriously so good! My dad and have our weekly brunches here, so I've tried just about everything on the menu. The waitstaff is always super nice and timely when coming for refills, putting in orders, etc. I can say that the wait is a tad bit off putting, but if you use their app or yelp to get in line online then you can spend that wait time chillin at home until it's your turn for breakfast! Highly recommend the Chickichanga and the shareable Mixed Berry toast if you're looking for a little something sweet read more

Each time I come I expect it to be better, each time I'm disappointed. The food is good. It's the dang service that's so aggravating. For instance, today we registered online, arrived and checked in. Our wait was to be 10 mins which somehow turned into 25. Then we waited an additional 10 mins at the hostess stand for someone to bus the table. Next we waited 8 mins for a server, and only got him because we stopped another waiter asking him to find someone to take our order. After all this, out pancake and eggs arrived cold. Go figure. read more

Great new spot for brunch! The Barbacoa eggs benedict with fresh greens and light lemon vinaigrette, The Skillet Hash i ordered 2 sunny side eggs over potatoes, 1/2 Half Waffle with a side of Fruit & A chocolate chip pancake! It was all yummalicious!! read more

First time dining at First Watch. Had the Morning Meditation drink, Yummy! The Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl was fantastic. I'll be back for sure!, read more

This is the old Egg & I (which I did not like). Came in on a Monday afternoon, a little crowded but got a table right away. The decor and ambience was casual and easy going. I got service right away (major plus). I had the steel cut oats that came with fresh fruit, pecans, bananas, a side of milk, brown sugar and a fresh muffin of the day. I also ordered the avocado toast that was stacked high with fresh avocado and two eggs. I had the Kale Tonic which was so tasty I finished it pretty fast. The waitress asked if I wanted a second, I was scared I'd get too full, she kindly brought me a sample of the Root Down which was perfect also. Too much food for me but I was dying to try this place! I was very pleased with the food, service and my experience here. Happy to have a place with quality food and service in my neighborhood!! read more

Not very good at all, kinda sad that this huge chain bought out Egg & I. The menu is more or less the same, minus a few things that they used to have. The food quality is definitely down, as are portion sizes, which is odd considering prices are about the same if not higher than they were. Food is now usually served with a pile of greens (no dressing or anything), which is very odd to serve with an omelette. The food quality is questionable. The menu says the word "fresh" dozens of times, but I'm 99℅ sure that isn't true. The omelettes for example taste like bottled eggs filled with precooked and reheated ingredients. Apparently the national company doesn't treat the employees very well, about half the employees from Egg & I left when the store transitioned. The new restaurant has really weird policies too, instead of coming by to get your drink order and then coming back for food order, they make you sit for 5-10 minutes and then get both from you intentionally. We asked the server and she confirmed this is policy to do this, she didnt like it either. They also don't come by to check if your food is good/as ordered. read more

This place is the best to have brunch with friends and family! Love the great amount of options they have to order from. The only thing is the wait! I don't like that but definitely worth visiting this cute little place for Sunday brunch! read more

When you walk in it has a rustic farm feel. I liked the decor. Their menu is amazing. Almost everything you would want for breakfast and brunch. I ordered the french toast. It was fluffy and delicious! I'll definitely be back soon. I would have given this place 5 stars but our server was not attentive. He did not seem to care about his job. read more

First Watch - French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Really cute place for a quick lunch! Good healthy options. Took my coworkers to lunch here and they all loved it.

This place is great. I got the Summer Blush drink. Watermelon based drink that was very refreshing. I also got the 2 For You: Market Veggie Sandwich & Chicken and Avocado Chopped Salad. I absolutely LOVED the Veggie sandwich. The bread was so delicious and the veggies were cooked perfectly. It will definitely be craving food for me in the future. Highly recommend this place. read more

So yeah this place bumped out the old Egg and I. I had not been back over here because honestly I was not a fan of Egg and I. This place has a much cleaner decor and is very simple in design. I love it. I ordered Lemon Blueberry Quinoa pancakes and a side of pork sausage. My husband ordered Trifecta eggs, bacon and a waffle. Both of our coffees were good and fresh. Downside they use International Delight half and half. It would be nice to have almond milk, coconut, or soy creamers or just one as an option for a place that offers healthier fare. I love the juice options and healthy creations on the menu. Our food was a 5 out of 5 seasoned perfectly and was very good. Service. Service was very good. She did not over serve us and was friendly and efficient. Her name was Kenesha Parking. They have a pretty large parking lot but I assume on weekend with Taco Ocho it could get really full. read more

It's been a while since I have joined Yelp, dang glad i did. One of the benefits of joining is seeing new or places you would of never known about. A while ago, I seen first watch being shown as a destination on Yelp. So finally I was in the area performing multiple tasks with wife. I suggested to her that it was time to try out First Watch. Sure glad I did. Started off with their nice blend of coffee. Very smooth and rich taste. I had it black. Then moved on to the Millionare bacon. It is thick sliced, grade A bacon with maple syrup cooked into it. It is a must. Then I ordered an omelette called the works. Eggs were fresh and tasty. Mushrooms called Crimini were fabulous, cooked in a buttery sauce with lightly garlic infusion added. They also used a generous portion of jack cheese. It was awesome. Service was with a smile and attentive. Definately going back and soon. read more

Just called to see if there was a wait at this location. Phone rang for a long time with no answer. When someone finally picked up they immediately hung up the phone on me. We will never be going to this location very unprofessional! read more

Came here for brunch for the first time, and was definitely impressed. The menu is great with an array of choices. I had their breakfast tacos, and they are some of the best breakfast tacos I've had in a long time. We showed up around 1030ish and the wait was only 20 mins. I liked the concept of texting when the table was ready so you could wander around a little. Our server was knowledgeable in what to have and gave some recommendations, which was a plus. Overall, great experience and will be returning. read more

Decent breakfast but the cook doesn't know how to make poached eggs and when I said something to our waitress she really didn't care much. No offer to remake them or anything. Wouldn't rush back. read more

This place's service is worse every time we come here. They are ALWAYS understaffed, no hostess to greet people, after standing for about 10 minutes by the entrance finally a waiter sat us down on a dirty table. Nobody ever cleaned the table, and we had to request clean glasses for water. It's not the waiters' fault as they are running around like crazy. This is BAD management!!! Sad, as this place has really good food with fresh ingredients. Management needs to do a better job and hire more staff. read more

Writing this review from the restaurant. Normally great food, prompt service, etc. We were seated right away but have gotten awful service. Waited forever to be waited on and then had to wait forever for the food. Wait staff seemed distant and disorganized. Way out of character for this establishment! read more

I got the avocado toast and it was very good! It was very well salted. The avocados were mashed well with the whole wheat toast. I also had a coffee to pair it with. Downside is that the silverware looks spotty. read more

Yummy food. Patient service. Accommodating to our needs for a lower table or booth to sit at with my grandfather. I get a little overwhelmed chosing a breakfast combo to get all of the flavors I love, but you can't go wrong with whatever you choose here. It's all been good. read more

Healthy and good!! The service was perfect and fast, and all the servers and manager were laughing with each other and hanging out near closing time while they cleaned up and it just gave a really happy vibe. I had the morning meditation juice, salmon frittata and cheese grits. Only thing I would have changed would be to add a side of dressing for the salad. Can't wait to try everything else. read more

Has a group of 11 for brunch. Wait staff was super friendly and worked diligently so our wait would be too long on a Saturday. Food was amazing. Everyone loved what they had. Most dishes just looked like works of art. read more

Good service, but the food was cold and expensive for what you get. I ordered the biscuits and gravy that came with potatoes and eggs. The gravy was lukewarm and the portions were smaller than an average plate. $10.45 for the biscuits and gravy plate and $2.79 for coffee. Good service, but food and cost were unsatisfying! read more

Worst place ever.... will not be coming back again. Waited 20 minutes just to have to ask for a server, then waited 20 more minutes for them to come back with drinks and to take orders. Manager at the front is annoying and doesn't know what he's doing. Shut this place down. There's already two. read more

The waitress we were supposed to be working with decided she was going to completely ignore our party, it wasn't until I asked for a waiter that we got our drinks. She then proceeded to say she wasn't taking care of our party and told someone else to take over. I love first watch but I know you can hire better waiters and waitresses especially in a time when there's plenty of people looking for a job. read more

S*L*O*W ... tasty for cold food. Arrive before 8am on weekends. UPDATE: Full disclosure: I've worked as a waitress. Their waitstaff is trying their very best..... On the 4 or 5 times we've eaten there my VEGAN spouse enjoyed the power chia bowl and skillet potatoes. HOWEVER: There are no heat lamps in the kitchen so everytime I eat there my bacon and eggs are COLD. The buttery spread on the whole grain toast not even sorta melty. There was field manager on the floor one morning we visited and I told with him about this issue. He said: "We tell our waitstaff to get the plates to the table fast". I asked: "What's more efficient and cost effective? A food warmer or hiring a food runner?" That stumped him. Why pay a premium for a basic breakfast you can order up HOT at a Waffle House, IHOP or no-frills neighborhood diner? As for my VEGAN spouses dietary needs, next time maybe we'll find a weekend breakfast buffet that'll cost about the same and sacrifice the cool country decor and chia pudding. read more

We found this place on our way home, yelp didn't let us down. Great healthy choices for breakfast, more gourmet than home cooking. Whole grains galore, plus lots of healthy egg options. Day Glow juice (carrot, orange, lemon & organic ginger) Kale tonic both juices were delicious and they give out sample for you to try first! Very friendly staff. I had the Elevated Egg sandwich, what makes it elevated you ask? Well it was on a brioche bun, smashed avocado, bacon, gruyere cheese, and I had scrambled egg on mine...sooooo good! My husband had the Chickachunga, an egg burrito, with chorizo, chicken, chiles, monterey jack and cheddar cheese topped with a vera cruz sauce, he said he was delicious! Hoping the chain makes it south to Burleson!! read more

First Watch - Yummy egg sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Great First Watch nothing like the Lakewood location. Service fantastic staff and management is wonderful. I drive an additional 5 plus miles to this location Vs the Lakewood operation. read more

The food is really delicious. However, every time I have come here it has come out either incorrectly or cold. In my opinion, this is unacceptable for breakfast service. Breakfast food (eggs, potatoes, toast, or bacon) should be served hot. This has not been the case for myself or any of the friends or family that have frequented First Watch Richardson. read more

Service was slow, food was cold and waitress took 10 minutes just to get my tea. They brought our pancakes out first, then our other food out in pieces. Probably why my food was cold.. The First Watch on Parker and Custer has much better service. read more

A great menu, good food, an average service and a pathetic way of responding to the average service. Average service = forgot we were sitting outside and we waited for half an hour to place the order. Pathetic response = we let the folks at the front desk know that we have been waiting on our waiter and ready to place our order, and the response is "okay, so?" Please find new folks for the front desk. read more

Rude receptionist. Did not know how to speak to customers. Made a baby wait out in the wind. You guys weren't that busy that you couldn't accommodate us faster. Also same receptionist was throwing down high chairs next to us. Food wasn't that bad but poor customer service left a bad taste in my mouth. Will not be back here. read more

This was my 2nd time at First Watch. I must comment on the awesome decor of the restaurant. It has a very modern look with the wood floor and outdoorsy decorations. Service was awesome. I came on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy yet. I was seated quickly and perused the menu. Price wise, I think this restaurant is priced fairly. A bit on the high side but I do appreciate the portions especially the pancake. The pancake itself is probably enough for two people to split. Enjoyed this restaurant and will visit again in the future! read more

Always a great brunch place. Food is fresh and delicious. Also the atmosphere is pretty neat. I love how their food isn't the typical brunch/breakfast food, unique food options! read more

Me and my husband have been coming here and haven't had a bad experience until today. We came 30 minutes before closing but that shouldn't be an excuse for bad service. Our waitress Gabrielle didn't bother to offer refills and didn't come to our table to check if everything was ok. The food was bad quality and it was made incorrectly, so when I brought it to gabrielles attention she said it might be because "the kitchen was about to close". The kitchen shouldn't close before their business hours nor should they cut corners in order for them to get our early. read more
