    Steve at first watch was very accommodating. We had a party of 14 that quickly turned into 17 and he didn't give us a hard time about adjusting the headcount. He also allowed us to move tables and rearrange due to the e party size increasing. There needs to be more service people like Steve that actually enjoy their jobs and are accommodating to patrons.

    Pesto Chicken quinoa bowl and the traditional
    Andrew H.

    The food is really good. I love their protein bowls, the pesto and chicken and lemon go really well together. However, our iced coffee was super milky and sweet and had a strange milk after taste. But our waiter was super kind and offered another one and even a cup of plain black coffee to mix it up a little bit. The staff are super nice and take good care of you. Good spot!

    BLT benedict with potatoes
    Lucy M.

    Came by this First Watch location with my husband and some friends for Sunday brunch and had some pretty solid food! I ordered the BLT eggs benedict with potatoes, and my husband got the lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of cheesy grits. Others in our party picked the farmhouse hash and the coconut chia seed pudding, and most of us got juices. The large freshly-squeezed orange juice comes with a generous pour even if you ask for no ice, and the BLT eggs benedict had some very solid flavors. Bacon was super crispy, and the dressed arugula was nice and peppery but not too tart. My one quibble with the dish was that the poached eggs had pretty hard yolks and were lukewarm in the center - I wonder if it was just a batch that happened to be overcooked? I would've liked the potatoes crispier too, but that's probably something I can ask the kitchen to do next time. The lemon ricotta pancakes were quite excellent; the pancakes themselves were super light and fluffy, and the lemon curd had a great tang. The portion was also huge. Grits were very nice and super cheesy. Servers were attentive and helpful throughout. One friend is celiac and our server was very helpful in making sure that their gluten free bread was toasted in a dedicated pan separate from anything with gluten. All in all a decent brunch spot!

    Food was great, I ate my whole plate, and our server was really nice. Would recommend!

    Women's Bathroom cleanliness

    We called in to get on the wait list around 11:45 on a Saturday. Said 20-30 min wait. I showed up at around 12pm. Checked in. Went to the bathroom where I found it completely messy and unsanitary. It was disgusting. I attached a pic. That had probably been there awhile. While I was washing my hands I made eye contact w an employee that just walked out the door after being in a stall. Was looking around and hoping she wasn't a server but didn't think a job w unwashed hands in the kitchen would be much better. Never saw her again. We were seated about an hour after I checked in. There were plenty of tables open. I think they were just short staffed and every interaction whether it be w the greeter for seating or our server was rushed. They are way understaffed. The coffee cups were dirty at our table, w either paper or something inside them. took probably 5-10 min to get greeted at the table and we waited a longer time than usual for our food. Once received, my friend asked for salsa for which she was told they only have pico. She decided she'd go w the avocado mash instead but it wasn't brought back til she was over halfway thru her meal. the servers were so busy and frantic we couldn't flag anyone down for about 10-15 min. Once we got our servers attention she did bring it back quickly. We used to come here a lot but the service, sanitation and evidently being short staffed will make this the last time. The food even felt rushed this time. Not as good as usual. Sad, looks like quantity over quality now. Used to be good.

    BLT Benedict and Traditional Breakfast
    Sheury S.

    I love First Watch! It's one of my favorite, most reliable brunch spots in the DFW area where I know I'm assured a great meal each time! My go-to order is their BLT Benedict, which includes bacon, avocado, egg, and arugula on toasted ciabatta bread! Other standouts on the menu include the Belgian waffle, the Traditional Breakfast, and the Chickichanga. Despite being a busy brunch spot, I'm always treated kindly by the service staff, and my food is served promptly. There's rarely a wait, but if there is, the staff keeps the line moving quickly. Luckily the Richardson location also has an ample amount of seating, including an outdoor patio which is wonderful on breezy days. First Watch is a great, cozy brunch spot in Dallas with an excellent menu, and I recommend it to anybody searching for a delicious meal in the area!

    Trifecta w/chocolate chip pancakes.
    Gwen B.

    Brought my granddaughter in for the 1st day of Springbreak breakfast. She order chocolate chip pancakes & a mango, passion palmer..she said it tasted like "vacation"! She LOVED it!! She said the ham was delicious too. I ordered a blueberry pancake, bacon & orange juice. The pancakes are huge. They were pretty good. I did NOT care for the orange juice, it had a chalky aftertaste that made me gag. We had a great waiter, Nathan. Knowledgeable, funny, attentive. I will come back to try the shrimp & grits when the menu changes hrs next week. I don't know if I'd come back here if I wasn't already near here but it was good for a drive by.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon with friends and enjoyed a great lunch. They sat us on the inside/outside patio and opened the door and it felt nice. It was a bit loud in there, partly because of us, but no real complaints. Food was good and everyone enjoyed what they ate. Service was a bit slow, but to be expected on a Sunday afternoon.

    Large restaurant, really big and nice! Have gone a couple times the last couple of weeks and the food is really good. Unfortunately service is extremely slow, I think they are understaffed. Got an omelette (2nd pic with bread) and asked for cheese, mushroom, and spinach only and there were whole mushrooms and spinach, nothing was chopped up. Overall really good food, as long as they're staffed correctly!

    Sealed bag was waiting for me right up front.

    Love the Tri-fecta breakfast with scrambled eggs, regular bacon, and Belgium waffle. I ordered an extra carrot cake pancake and today I tried the pumpkin spiced donuts, cuz you know it is September 1st, so pumpkin season is upon us! Everything was delicious (as usual) and oh my goodness- those pumpkin spiced donut holes were amazing! I'm so glad I tried them and I'm sure I'll be ordering them again while they are still available.

    During COVID its been great that you can put your name on the list in advance. When we got there we were up and only waited 5 minutes for us to get sat at the table. Thank you for that First Watch! Had our niece and nephew so there was 5 of us. Kids had the typical breakfast but they loved it. Wife enjoyed the avocado eggs Benedict which have always been a favorite of hers. Love that you can order a loaf of their bread as well. Kids enjoyed the various juices with the purple haze being the favored one for this trip.

Betty waited on our table. She had such good energy and was super knowledgeable about the menu. I'd like to come back and request her specifically. My husband had the smoked shrimp and grits and I had the smoked fried chicken with lemon mashed potatoes and street corn. Both were excellent! I'm not in this area of Dallas often, but I will make it a point to come back. I forgot to mention my cocktail! I had the Honey Bourbon Limoncello and boy was it good. I'm a lightweight so I couldn't try any of the other cocktails but their cocktails all look delicious!

The only two things I remembered from this place was that the food was salty, my husband also commented that on his food--and he likes salt! Second, with my daughter and her many food allergies, we decided to go with plain chicken wings. They mentioned the seasoning was just salt and pepper. My daughter mentioned it being spicy so I tasted it and yes there was seasoning other than salt and pepper. I was very annoyed because she's allergic to gluten and some seasonings contain gluten. I notified the waiter and assumed we were getting a new order. BIG NOPE! What they did was RINSE the chicken and reheated it. How do I know this? Prior to sending it back, I cut a flat of the chicken wings in half for my daughter. When we got the "new" wings, the cut up flat was still on the plate. I was so shocked. Never seen that in a restaurant. At this point, we were all pretty much done with our meals and a storm was brewing so we just wanted to get out of there. I will not come back.

We ordered via online and realized they relocated. Of course we had to order multiple things to get a feel of their consistency. LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT; We ordered the Pineapple Juice - (8/10) : The juice was good Hisbicus Tea - (4/10) : The tea was made with cane sugar; that defeated the purpose of a healthy and delicious tea. I really wanted it to be made with agave or date syrup. Side of Cabbage- (4/10) : Cabbage was very bland for fried cabbage, its wasn't seasoned at all and it wasn't cooked through enough to my liking. Side of Fried Brussel Sprouts - (7/10) : Brussel Sprouts were decent and actually seasoned. They just weren't mind blowingly good so a 7 was the best I could give it. Vegan Jerk Oxtail with Mushroom Rice - (8/10) : This right here was great however it was giving more vegan meatloaf then it was oxtail. We had to think of it as a meatloaf for us to be fully satisfied with the flavor. Overall though it was good and we enjoyed it. Vegan Lobster Mac and Cheese - (9/10) : This was the STAR of the show. It was delicious, creamy and the lobster pieces actually were giving lobster lowkey. We enjoyed this one the most and would return just to get this. The Ambiance of the restaurant was cool and definitely would be worth sitting in and enjoying the meals. The decor was decent inside and inside the bathroom, however, the bathroom needs to be upgraded. My rating... DEFINITELY would recommend the Lobster Mac and Cheese, we will return to get it again and maybe try another vegan option. I would totally recommend, GO TRY IT OUT! They also have non-vegan options that others rave about!

It was counter service and the guy that took our order was laid back. We paid, he gave us a number and then we chose a place to sit and waited for our food. We ordered several items to share. We started off with a charcuterie board that had meats, cheeses, nuts, fruit, and toasted bread. It was really good. The bread was able to hold the ingredients and was nice and crispy but not overly crispy. The meats were good and the different cheeses were flavorful with different textures. The fruit was fresh and the nuts were a nice crunchy addition. Very yummy start. We also shared the Tejas Nachos with Brisket. The Nachos come with tortilla chips covered in cheese, queso, jalapenos, tomatoes, and crema. They were okay. The Brisket was plentiful. There was a lot of cheese and queso spread out all over the nachos. It was a little too much. The chips got soggier the closer you got to the bottom of the pile. Our last shared item was the ZZ Top BBQ Flatbread. It was okay. It came with an overabundance of cheese. It also came with jalapenos, BBQ sauce, and we ordered it with Chicken. It was okay. The cheese was gooey but overwhelming. The jalapenos added a spicy flavor and the BBQ sauce was tasty. Overall the restaurant has a cool atmosphere with good service.

There was plenty of seating at the restaurant with long tables, sit down tables, and outdoor seating. After choosing our table we waited 15 minutes before our waitresses showed up. They were very busy with the lunch rush so it took awhile between everything. It even took awhile to get our waters. One waitress was in training and learning from the other. The positive was that the waitresses were friendly throughout. After looking at the menu and waiting another 15 minutes we finally placed our order. We got our appetizer after waiting another 15 minutes. Thankfully that held us over until we got our burgers and fries. We started with tostada chips and queso. It was good and we ate it up pretty quickly. We requested another basket of chips to finish off the queso. To eat with our burgers we ordered hand punched fries and sweet potato fries. The hand cut fries were nice and thick and you could taste the salt. I enjoyed eating them with ketchup. The sweet potato fries were also thick and salty and you could taste the flavor of the potato. No need for ketchup with these fries unless you want it. For my burger I ordered the HL Hunt cooked medium which comes with white cheese, bacon, blackberry compote and mustard. The burger was filling, the cheese was melted but it had little flavor, and the bacon was chewy. The compote was my favorite part of the burger as it added a slightly sweet flavor. I requested a medium cooked burger but it didn't taste that way but it was still good despite that. Overall Rodeo Goat has lots of seating and friendly staff but I would go at an off peak time so that you don't have to wait a long time for everything. The food was still good despite the wait.
