The Italian Stallion

Went to First Watch in Riverview FL today for brunch. They had a fabulous Polidori Italian sausage sandwich called The Italian Stallion on their seasonal menu. My husband and I tried it and were blown away!! Great tasting sausage sandwiched between focaccia bread with egg and bacon. Totally worth trying, you won't be disappointed Our server Quashaun was very attentive and engaging. Super experience

Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs
Stephanie L.

Love First Watch for breakfast! Fruit was fresh, bacon crispy and the biscuits and gravy were delightful! The staff greeted us with a smile and very attentive! My veteran father asked specifically for one ice cube in his milk and got it liked asked! There was lightly sound music playing throughout breakfast which was pleasant! Will definitely return

Morning Meditation with a boost
Tiffani S.

First watch does not disappoint in any city I visit. Took myself to brunch and enjoyed a morning meditation with a boost drink and a trifecta with waffles, cheese grits and bacon. So good! My traditional go-to and I don't even need a menu. Service was excellent! Quashaun was my server and he was super attentive. The restaurant was super busy and they were getting people in and out smoothly. I think one of the best experiences was the hostess at the front and register with the pigtails and ribbons in her hair. They all had amazing customer service but her friendliness elevated my experience. Great job to this location. 10 out of 10!

Salmon Eggs Benedict
Latasa M.

The restaurant is in a strip which makes parking limited and semi-difficult. There is indoor and outdoor eating areas. I had the Salmon Eggs Benedict (eggs over easy instead of poached) it was EVERYTHING! The only thing I altered was the eggs and when I say I cleared my plate, that's an understatement. It really was delicious. My server was amazing also but I accidentally tossed the recipe with her name on it to give her the proper credit. There is no military discount.

Delicious, the breakfast is my favorite choice. Quick service service and excellent customer service.

It's been awhile since I have been here and I wasn't as impressed as I had been. There weren't many patrons, but our server was never around. She did bring us a pot of decaf, but after filling our mugs, there was only a tiny bit left and she was nowhere to be seen. I ordered the two eggs over easy, toast, bacon and potatoes. My food arrived hot, which I like. The eggs were good, but the potatoes were over salted to the point I couldn't eat them. The toast was so thick, and served cold, that none of the butter was melted. The bacon was decent. Certainly not the best breakfast I have had here.

Chimichurri Steak & Egg Hash

Perfect spot for brunch. I love their drinks they always have new drink options to try.

Biscuit, bacon and scrambled eggs

My sisters brought me here on Thursday morning and my breakfast was so delicious I wanted to bring my wife back. So on Saturday morning we decided to do just that and dine here. My wife did an online reservation because the wait it usually long according to my sisters of ( approx 20-30 ) minutes. We were sat within 10 minutes and because of the reservation we didn't have to wait as long as others. My wife had the healthy turkey omelet with fruit and her beverage was the morning meditation. I had the biscuit, with a side of bacon and eggs so I could make my own biscuit sandwich with a glass of fresh orange juice. I ordered the same thing on Thursday and it was more food than I could eat but today it was a much smaller amount. I spoke to my server about it and the manger "John" fixed it and he also explained why it was a difference. I was very pleased with the service we received and that the manger himself took care of it without any issues with my complaint. Everything was hot upon arrival to our table and it was all very delicious. The meal was not very expensive and it was about average but the food was much better than some of your other chain breakfast restaurants. I will definitely return to this location because of the service and taste and quality of the food. If I could change anything it would be the level of noise but I know that the establishment is not to blame for that....

Will return. This is the second First Watch we've breakfast. Same rustic decor and same good service. Food all look good, except my smoke salmon is bit saggy.

Andy J.

Can I start by saying our Server Joey was amazing. Incredibly friendly, funny and entertaining. He made this experience so enjoyable. Food was great and super good value. We got the French Toast, Brooklyn Sandwich and donuts. We also splurged and got the Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk cocktail. Absolutely fantastic. The negatives that stopped this getting 5 stars are it's very loud and the bathrooms are disgusting. You can reserve your table through their app however the app is not compatible with certain phones. They also have outside seating Water 7/10

Receipt of payment, yet I was accused of not paying.

See all

I have currently been obsessed with Foxtail's holiday drinks specifically the gingerbread banana…read morelatte and also the crème brûlée latte. I place my orders through the app so when I get there, my drink is usually ready. Inside it's definitely a hotspot for people to work as you look around you can see people on laptops or tablets studying and it's usually pretty relaxed inside. Also The staff is very friendly. Yesterday I ordered my daughter a cake pop as well as my latte but unfortunately, they were out of the flavor she chose so when I got there, they greeted me and explained to me what was going on, but already had a cookies and cream cake pop ready in case she wanted it which she did and she enjoyed the chocolate cake with the cookies and cream icing cake pop. :) I will definitely be back.

I stopped by several times during our moving week and even purchased a $50 gift card so I could grab coffee on the go each morning. Unfortunately, it just didn't live up to expectations. The bacon, egg, and cheese croissant was tiny for almost $7, and while it looked decent, it definitely wasn't worth the price. The coffee tasted watered down every time I visited, which was disappointing considering Foxtail's reputation for good quality. To make things worse, the staff wasn't friendly at all. Each visit felt rushed and unwelcoming, and it really took away from the experience. I kept hoping it would get better, but it never did. Between the small portions, bland coffee, and lack of warmth from the staff, this location just didn't deliver. I wanted this to be my go-to coffee spot during a busy week, but it ended up being a daily disappointment instead.

The name of this place tells you everything that you need to know. You're gonna catch a chill vibe…read moreand drink some good caw-fee. It's a pretty big cafe with big tables for a group of friends or large families. It seems to be a place for all age groups as I saw kids, teenagers, young adults, and adults. They had "How to Train your Dragon" the live action playing while I was there which is a bonus in my book. They also had some arcade games, board games, and lots of chess boards. Relaxed seating area and everything is a bit mismatched, but that just adds to the vibe. The bathrooms are STUNNING. I've never been to a cafe with a bathroom that fancy whoa. The service was very friendly, gave us recommendations based on the popular items ppl get. I got the velvet amber half decaf and my partner got the cinnamon toast latte. Both were great. They also serve Kava, Teas, mushroom gummies, and additives you can add to your drink. They also offer CBD consultation. Overall, I will be coming back to battle some of my friends in chess and do my study dates there.

Giant coffee shop (compared to so many other coffee spots) with plenty of seating, games (board games and video games), and lots of choices of beverages. A great place to meet friends or gather a group. I love that they offer different events throughout the week - trivia, movie and family game nights. You can tell they want it to be a real community gathering space. You can also reserve their back room for a private party - ample space!! They offer coffee, tea, speciality coffees (Cinnamon Toast Brunch coffee anyone?), kava to help you with your mood and also sweet treats. Small-ish parking lot in the front, but the baristas said we can park in the adjacent parking lot next door (Publix shopping plaza) without any issue as there's ample parking there. On my first visit, I had a speciality chai latte) and on my 2nd visit I had a regular latte. I'm definitely looking forward to returning soon and trying more delicious coffee drinks and bringing some friends for a game night.

El Cuba Cafe - Cuban Sandwich, Ham Croquettes with homemade hit sauce (2 already eaten before picture) and 2 side of rice.

El Cuba Cafe

(16 reviews)

I didn't know about this place until my Yelp friend Tim wrote an awesome detailed review about it…read more It took me a while to try it, but I finally did last year. He was very right. Naida makes some tasty Cuban sandwiches here for a good price. The star of the sandwich is Naida's roast pork. It's well seasoned and it totally makes this sandwich shine. I usually get it with everything, but I keep forgetting that they'll include onions if you ask for it "all the way." It's good with or without it, but I prefer it without. Just keep that in mind and be specific if you don't want onions on your sandwich. Naida also makes the best café con leche. I sometimes go there just for Cuban toast and that awesome coffee. It gives me energy! They have a small hot bar area of daily offerings with some kind of rice and beans. It may change daily. I haven't ordered a platter, but I will one day. They do have a tasty arroz con salchichas side item. My mom used to make it sometimes with those little canned Vienna sausages. Yeah, it's a comfort thing for me. They also make wonderful breakfast sandwiches and ham croquettes. El Cuba Cafe is hidden inside of a Circle K convenience store on Bell Shoals Road. It's directly across the street from Publix at Bloomingdale Square. I know it has Cuba in the name, but their is a lot of Puerto Rican representation here. That may also be why I'm so fond of it. It's also super convenient, and the service is great. I usually drive in the back way to avoid all the construction nearby. There's no dining area. You just order your meal and take it with you. It's a no frills kind of place. A real hidden gem!

The service is amazing. The staff was attentive and helpful. I wish the food was better. I was in the mood for a salad. The first disappointment was that they only gave 3 choices. I am on a gluten free diet and didn't have a problem with that. I did have a problem with the fact that 2 out of 3 salads had cheese in it and is not for someone who adheres to a dairy free diet. Yes, I could have asked if the cheese could be left out. But these salads had multiple kinds of cheese. I never wanted to be that person who asks to leave out half of the ingredients because of dietary restrictions. I would have had to do that. Maybe the answer is the choice to have a custom salad for people like me. The second disappointment was that the salads had a price without any protein. When you added one of the proteins, the salad became very expensive. This was a huge turnoff. The last disappointment was the ice tea. Although there were 3 choices, two of them had ingredients to which I am allergic. The third choice had caffeine. There was really no choice other than to drink water. I chose the restaurant because it was midway between us and friends. I looked at ratings and the number of stars when I travel out of town. This was not really what I expected.
