..... got exactly what I wanted. Had expectations for a particular dish - drove down to Richardson (typically I would go to First watch - Plano. It's nearer to my house. I usually eat there once a week, but had an argumentative waiter there yesterday).... So, Good job Richardson. Thank you for achieving the culinary desires, ability to read and fulfill this customer request for lunch today. read more

Fast and friendly service. Went for early brunch on Sunday. Half our party was kids but we were quickly accommodated. Lots of options for little kids, even if they are picky eaters. Syrup was very warm. Coffee was on the weaker side. But orange juice and purple haze was fresh and delicious. Loved the crab cakes Benedict and the zesty salad that comes with it. Potatoes were also very good. read more

Food is very good, service is very spotty. Do not go if you are on a timeline. I have waited up to 7 minutes during non peak times for someone to take my order. Two weeks ago at the 7 minute mark Wife said we are out of her and went to Judy`s at Campbell & Jupiter (it was quick a really good food). read more

We had a great lunch today. Their butternut squash bisque was amazing. We both enjoyed our quinoa bowl, and we liked the kale juice and morning meditation juice. We joked that we wish they had a juice "flight" so we could try all three flavors. The food was fresh and very tasty. We both wished their was more kale in the bowl- it seemed a bit sparse. The service was good, and the restrooms were clean with paper towels, which I appreciate. I would love to see them offer gluten free pancakes or waffles, especially their special flavors, such as pumpkin. But I understand that it is tough to tackle. What we enjoyed today tasted great. read more

First Watch was awesome. I've been wanting to come here for a while, but the weekends are hella busy. I recommend on the weekdays for brunch or breakfast. Coffee was freshly brewed, and they keep the maple syrup warm and ready for your waffles. Thought that was great Everything was good; avocado toast, cornbread bowl, the Belgian waffle, and the million dollar bacon made us feel like a million dollars. It's coated with brown sugar, cayenne, and maple syrup. The flavors all tied together A good breakfast/ brunch spot in Richardson read more

Had a bug frozen into one of my ice cubes in my cocktail. The bug was half moving trying to get out of the ice cube. Now how disgusting is that when you are drinking the cocktail and notice that?! When brought to the waitresses attention, she just asked to have the drink back and gave me a different one. Didn't apologize or comp the drink as they should have for a freaking bug inside the drink. Absolutely disappointed in the customer service to rectify such a bad experience. Will never come back to a place with such horrible customer service. read more

Came on a busy Sunday, the place was packed, we waited 20 minutes to be seated. I had First Watch several times in the Colorado location, loved it and so glad we have several of it in Texas location. The kale tonic- marvelous, tasted like an upgraded apple juice. My favorite go-to drink, very refreshing. Pancakes bacon and egg- cooked perfectly and the bacon has the perfect crunch. Their coffee is a must try as well if you want some caffeine in your system. Overall the experience was great! read more

I'm not one to leave negative reviews lightly, but I feel it's important to warn others--this First Watch location has gone downhill fast. We were compensated for previous mistakes, yet they *still* failed to get our order to us in a timely manner! Orders are consistently late, they don't provide all the items you order, and the service has become unacceptably poor. The staff seems uninterested in providing even basic friendliness, let alone the welcoming atmosphere First Watch used to be known for. It's incredibly frustrating to see such a decline in quality and service, and it's disappointing that this location can't seem to get it together. Save your time and money--this place is not what it used to be! New management needed asap or just throw the whole establishment away literally read more

Although there can be a wait, you can join the waitlist! We have been here many times and everyone is happy and friendly. So nice to enjoy your food when the employees are pleasant. Cory has been our waiter a few times and we will be asking for her! She is helpful and informative and yes, friendly. Food is diverse and you really cannot go wrong. The juices are great too! Try a few items and I am sure you will find a few you love. read more

Dear First Watch, Your cold coffee taste like how nail polish remover smells. Your bacon tastes like how horse manure smells. I thought I was at the stables. Do better. Sincerely, Disappointed read more

Went there 7/14/24 so it's hot outside. It was also hot inside! I asked my fabulous waitress if the a/c was broken and she replied the manager put the thermostat under lock and key set at 78! Yes, 78! Too hot to enjoy food or company. The upside is the menu makes a good fan. read more

food is objectively good. that's about it. plates are rather simple and overpriced for what they are. "sides" of fruit come in a little condiment container. the staff is incapable of keeping track of more than 3 plates. any time we order more than 3 plates, the orders are all wrong. like they take the collective ingredients of the food we ordered, and make their own random plates with them. turning wraps into omelettes and switching the main meats of a plate. just don't see what's so hard about making a few plates at once. and my eggs has something blue in them. don't even wanna know read more

just not ready to be even considered as a regular dining spot. We had a Inattentive food service and the one dinner we had just absolutely took too long for the type of restaurant it is. just a bad experience all around and not willing to spend the money to give them another chance if you like them you like them if you don't, you don't nothing personal just business. read more

Great food, great service, in a nice environment. A recipe for a very enjoyable meal!

First Watch has a delicious breakfast, but did you know they also serve a tasty lunch too! For lunch we usually get the pick 2. The roast beef sandwich with salad with honey Dijon dressing. Deliciousness! read more

First Watch is very close to my work, so I decided to try them out for breakfast. My first visit was terrifying because I ordered Togo, my order wasn't complete since I did not check the bags! I had two bags full of two orders! When my co worker open it up, it was only one and half orders that was in the big bogus bag. I was frustrated but did care to call them. So I decided to try them again for a second chance to eat in the restaurant, which was a total outcome. The server was on point with their service, food was good, potions was too big but I liked it. I would preferred or suggest eating in the shop rather than ordering out. The owner/ manager was very involved with the running of the restaurant. I ordered the morning meditation which was very tasty, not too sweet or to watery. The pancakes were big & deliciously. The restaurant was clean and very brunch like atmosphere. I will definitely come back for another bite since Bf is my favorite meal of the day. I didn't drink the coffee but my friend said it was good. Price is okay, a little pricey when you compare it with a typical brunch places!. Will try there lunch soon, am not a lunch person. Overall, nice brunch place to eat and relax for your morning joe! Will keep you posted till next time! Xoxo read more

We frequent both Richardson and Canyon Creek often. We walked up to the Richardson location today at 2:15 and we were met in the parking lot to be told they were closed. The doors and sites say 2:30. So we went to the a canyon creek location. We waited in the lobby for a while and then someone came up and told us the kitchen is closed. Again, doors say 2:30. We come to bother these locations a lot and with large groups of people. This will stop. I am going onto social media and yelp to also let everyone know this. Hours should read 2:00 not 2:30 if your kitchen's closed at 2:15. We no longer will bring our families here nor hold our business meetings here. Update: the management contacted me via phone call and email very quickly. They spoke to me and asked questions and apologized. Also, they sent a hand written apology asking if we'd give them a second chance and sent some gift certificates. I must say for as upset as I was, I didn't think that anything to this magnitude of them hoping to rectify things would've happened. We will be giving them a second chance. Very refreshing to receive this sort of customer service. read more

Healthy, Quality, new things to try I wish every city I travel to had one of these. Try the different drinks they have. The blueberry, yogurt and eyes were awesome read more

Decent casual brunch spot with nice interior and good food. This is my go-to typical brunch spot in the Richardson area. The prices are very reasonable and the food is filling, depending on what you get. Based on pictures, they renovated it since they have opened and I feel like it adds a nice touch to the whole dining experience. There is enough light inside the restaurant so it gives off a refreshing morning brunch feel. There is usually a wait when it comes to typical brunch times on weekends, but they have an app where you can get in line. My friend used that and I thought it was super cool and innovative of them! They have seasonal menus if you ever get tired of their normal menu. I really want their shrimp and grits to come back cause that's something on the seasonal menu that I missed and would like to try. You can also view their menu and calories on their website. I've only had the elevated egg sandwich and trifecta, which includes the Belgian waffle, two fried eggs, and two turkey sausages. Elevated egg sandwich: I had it a while back but I remember it being very good. I love eggs and avocados so if you put those two things together, it's heaven for me. The bread had a slight sweetness to it. The whole meal is very filling. Also, one great thing about here is that I was able to swap out my potatoes for a salad without extra charge! I love it when restaurants can accommodate my needs...without an extra price tag. Trifecta: Oh man, the waffle was crispy and light, so it wasn't too heavy to take it. And the syrup that came with it was warm! It was a very delightful surprise. I actually ended up dipping the waffle with the raspberry jam along with the whipped butter, and that was very tasty as well. Nothing too spectacular about the turkey sausage. But eggs are always good in my books haha You can request how you like your eggs. All in all, I'm not obsessed with this place like my friend who comes here almost every weekend but it's definitely a place I would recommend to friends if they want affordable and enjoyable brunch. Oh, and there is plenty of parking. The thing that I was not really used to is that you get waiter service here but you have to bring your check up to the front to pay. I assume they're doing this to speed up the checking out process but it was a little odd to me. read more

It's pretty disappointing when you sit down to eat your takeout and your "over medium" egg order will not even pass for over easy. They were severely undercooked with runny yolks and whites. Anyone in the kitchen should be able to determine that. This is definitely not a knowledge issue. It is a not caring issue. read more

Brought a group of friends (6) of us after a long 45 minute + wait outside in the heat. We where all excited since none of us had been here before. We all climbed into a booth. Beverages served and waiting for our brunch even though the day started with breakfast. Over 30 minutes and 2 of the 6 food came out cold to touch but just happy to see food. Over the next 15 minutes the next 4 plates came to the table. It was very difficult for these southern ladies to wait until all served before picking up your fork, as your food sat in front of you getting cold. We insisted and since mine was the last to arrive I felt some what responsible for their prolonged hunger. Wait staff were busy no eye contact no apologies for the food coming out slow. Now let's review the food. 6 different dishes. I had egg sandwich came with some potatoes, due to the cold food left the side on the plate, egg sandwich was yummy with avocado and bacon on a soft bun. The health wrap with fruit I heard was good. Tacos, omelette, frittata, along with avocado toast was all good never heard great or delicious out of one of them. Leftovers where left this group usually takes everything home. So my rating is two stars as the young man on cashier was nice, wait staff slow and uninviting or welcoming to the group. Food good cold but okay. Not worth the wait when so many other choices. read more

First Watch - Smoked salmon Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Great food, casual ambience. Our go to after any 5 or 10'K! Can get loud and kid friendly!

Downgrading my review. While it was a 5-star because they used to hit on all cylinders, and they still do on food, I have had to forgive them on crappy service on my last several visits. I have come here 4 times in the last couple months and all four times the service has sucked. Today, I am calling out the crap.... The front of the house needs some attention. Today, there are not even that many tables seated, the waitstaff is just busy congregating and visiting. Sad to see such a great establishment miss on such an important and basic piece of the restaurant business, but this one has some management issues that become clearer and clearer everytime I come. If you are inclined to eat here, may I suggest you go to one of their other locations...At least until they get it right at this one. read more

I'd recently heard about First Watch & instead of visiting my Sunday morning regular, we decided to visit. The dining room is bright and open and the hostesses & wait staff were cheery. I ended up ordering the Farmhouse Hash bowl; tender seasoned potatoes with bacon cheese & onions, covered in 2 eggs your way and I chose scrambled. It came with multigrain toast & fresh fruit. I also ordered a banana granola crunch pancake to go with it. The warm syrup was a perfect touch! It was a lot of food & all of it was really good! One pancake is more than enough as it is as big as the plate. Safe to say I'll be back to visit. read more

First Watch - Chickichanga - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

First Watch is by far my favorite brunch place in DFW. I love this location in particular and have brought friends and family here. The service is great, even when it's busy. The longest I've waited for a table is about 30 minutes (the wait times can get crazy unfortunately, but I would recommend checking in online to save you time), but they have a coffee station for you to drink at while you wait, so that's nice. Servers are all great, always greeted with a smile. However, if you come during a rush, expect the food to take a while. The food is great! I've had all the benedict variations, the elevated egg sandwich, frittata, tri-fecta, the pumpkin pancake plate....can you tell I like to come here? Lol. The seasoned potatoes are a must with any of the meals you get, they're fantastic Overall, great and transparent restaurant. The prices are reasonable ($12 and under) and the calorie counts are listed, so you can decide if you're going to be mindful or if you're going to pig out :-) enjoy! read more

Nice atmosphere when sitting outside. Tables with umbrellas. Cute little place inside. Food was pretty good. Would have loved more hollandaise sauce on my eggs Benedict . Most places are skimpy as is. When you ask for "the greens" that come with the plate... that's exactly what you get. Mixed lettuce with a very small touch of salad dressing. Not impressed there... should have gotten the potatoes, but hey! Healthy?! Lol. Took my bf here for his birthday brunch. Service was pretty slow. Overall, not a bad experience. I would dine here again in the future. read more

I had been in a few months ago while visiting family in Texas... I got food poisoning! I was in the hospital for 2 days

This place never disappointments me. I went to another location on my first visit and surprisingly the service was pleasant and exactly the same. Food is tasty than ever. Thumbs up to my server she was honestly patient with my as my other company showed up 40mins late ( figuringbout where the location was). Piece of advise to the newbies, reservation through yelp's assistance was a big help. I had the Chorizo Omellette this time and my friend had the Eggs Benedict, food was flawless as ever. read more

First Watch - Coffee and Kale juice side by side for brunch! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Overall, just your typical breakfast spot, there wasn't anything that really separated first watch from any other breakfast spot. The food was average. It was by no means bad. The blueberry pancakes were good, but a little lacking in flavor without the syrup. I did not care for the sausage links, there wasn't much flavor, que the cholula (hot sauce) ha. I also was not a fan of the tangerine dream drink as it was very tart, but my wife absolutely loved it. The service was good we were greated with a smile and waitress was prompt and made us feel comfortable eating here. Overall, I give it a 7.1 out of 10. Just your standard run of the mill breakfast joint. read more

I would recommend you stop reading this, check in ahead on Yelp and get your tail to First Watch. Honestly, breakfast food should always be an option for any meal in my book and it seems like First Watch agrees. When in town for business my local coworkers brought us here for lunch. I was so impressed with the rustic decor, and friendly service. We had a larger party and they took care of us with ease. Their menu had so many breakfast options which is the route most of the table went with their selections. I got the smoked salmon Benedict which was AHMAZING! Avocado toast was a big hit and their sandwich options also looked delicious. All the food was fresh and exactly what I needed for the perfect refuel. They also offer fresh juice which I went with the carrot crush to rehydrate and keep the productivity going through the rest of the day! read more

First Watch - Farmhouse! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

We enjoyed the food here, but a few things made this a 3 star over 4 stars. The service was friendly but SO SLOW. The waiter took a long time to arrive and bring stuff and the food really took a long time. We also had food coming out at different times which always bothers me. The other issue was that we had dirty glasses at our table, as in they set what were supposed to be clean glasses but they were dirty. I asked for clean glasses and got greasy glasses instead. That just made wonder what goes on in the kitchen. As for the food, we did enjoy it. I asked for the egg on my sandwich to be cooked medium well and they cooked it correctly, something many struggle with. The potatoes on the side were so crispy and oniony and delicious. I also tried the new carrot crush. It had a lot of ice in it so was hardly worth the price, but it was delicious. read more

12/9/21: We drove by on Sunday, 12/5, but the line was out the door. We went back the next day, around 1pm, and it was so much better. This was our first visit here. There were two other tables with patrons. Jenny was our hostess, and she was awesome! She took the time to explain the menu and drinks. She had a coffee, the trifecta and a side of grits. I had a Red Medicine and a Traditional breakfast with ham. The coffee was great. The Red Medicine had good flavor and a light texture. The food arrived pretty fast, and everything tasted good. We're glad that we stopped by, and will definitely be coming back! read more
