Over a very good place to have brunch! The food is always great and served at the right temperature and portions are perfect! The only downside is the price for a drinks! I have a very hard time understanding that almost all of theirs drinks are $3.99! I can understand this price on one or two of there drinks but the regular drinks? I do not mind paying for good food at all but the every day drink should be reasonable! They would have gotten 5 stars if it were not the drink prices! read more

First watch is legit. Food and service are solid. Healthy options. I've never had a bad thing here.

I like that their food is fresh and healthier than all the places in this vicinity. We've been there twice and the service has been great. On the weekends and holidays, get there early, as it gets crowded and there will be a wait. read more

Had the tacos and they were amazing. Very clean and service was amazing. It has a great vibe that makes you feel like you're going home for breakfast. The healthier options are a great change of pace from the typical restaurant breakfast. read more

Waitress were Amazing! The wait was extremely to long. I waited two hours to be seated then another hour to receive my meal. As a party of two this is below any customer service I've ever experienced. I ordered the Egg sandwich and the brioche bun was entirely too big for the single egg that is served on it. The sandwich was more so full of avocado. The home potatoes served as the side were over cooked and charred (burnt). I am overall disappointed in this establishment. read more

See all

I have eaten at many of the 1st watch franchises throughout the Tampa Bay area. This is a must to visit the food is unique and delicious

Great place for breakfast! The decor adds a special touch. Healthy food choices. We have always been able to have wonderful servers who make the meal that much more enjoyable. read more

Consistently good service and great food. Goes way beyond bacon and eggs style menu. I'm going to keep going back. Finally a great breakfast spot in 301 and Big Bend area. read more

Everything was yummy! We got here when it opened on a Sunday morning so there was no wait. Service was excellent as I would expect from First Watch. One of the few places in Riverview/Brandon area that reminds me of being back in LA. Soooooo excited that they're so close to home now! read more

This is hands down the best place my family has ever eaten. My daughter is an extremely picky eater and she loves it! We have been here 1 week and have eaten there twice. She asks us everyday to go back to "her restaurant". Extremely friendly staff and management. Wish we could give it 6 stars! read more

The food at first watch is always great. Our server Connor was awesome with a great smile.

First Watch is my favorite breakfast place. Fresh, perfectly cooked food and great service. The veggie Benedict is marvelous and low(er) calorie. Fresh iced tea, hot coffee ...and bacon, of course. read more

Cute place. Orange juice is freshly squeezed. The staff is super friendly. The food was great.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the food here. it's hard to mess up scramble eggs ... but I was wrong. I've never seen so much "white" in scrambled eggs before. On a positive note ... probably the best grits I've ever had and I love the decor. My husband had the breakfast potatoes and they had no seasoning ... salt and pepper didn't even help. For breakfast on the expensive side ... $32.00 for two with tip. The servers are friendly, perhaps still learning ... we had to ask for refills on our drinks. read more

Had breakfast with my siblings and we all loved our food. I really recommend the elevated egg sandwich.

I really enjoyed this restaurant . I found it by accident and my daughter and I really liked the food and atmosphere. I was very impressed with the online waitlist, we placed our names while driving and it notified us the wait time. I highly recommend enjoying this restaurant. read more

After almost an hour wait for breakfast, the food came out like warm at best. I think it was sitting under the warmer too long. However, staff is friendly and food normally very good. This visit was very disappointing. read more

Had a great late breakfast! Ordered the works omelette and the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. The pot of coffee was fresh and hot. We were seated immediately since we arrived after the breakfast rush. Cute industrial/farmhouse decor inside with seating available outside. They are currently still under construction in the strip mall so limited parking is available. read more

The service was great, food was great and I love the new decor! Very spacious! Our new favorite

Love, love, love this place!!! The food is fresh and amazing! Best breakfast/lunch place in the area by far! Parking is a hassle though.

First time here today. We wanted to see what all the hype was about. Greeter was pleasant and welcoming. The waitress gave us only glass cups for the children. No kids cups? Had to ask for more water and napkins. Prices were somewhat on the higher end and food was ok. I was expecting an awesome breakfast with tastes that everyone else has talked about, it was just a common breakfast place. The interior is nice however, very comparable to Cracker Barrel. FYI no military discount either but cashier was nice about it. read more

Food is AMAZING! It is always busy in this place, which makes the wait times a little long during rush hours, but totally worth the wait. Great kids menu also! Service could be a little better, but no complaints. read more

Love coming here for breakfast. Their omelette are the bomb! To avoid waiting in line get on the waitlist. Waiting time is very precise.

Pleasantly surprised! First time going here so I didn't know what to expect. Their blackberry lemonade was good, I wish I would have gotten the morning meditation juice or the watermelon wake up though, which I didn't see until I already ordered whatever fruity lemonade they had (ended up being blackberry). I got the A.M. superfoods bowl, described on their menu as "coconut milk chia seed pudding with fresh bananas, berries, blackberry preserves and housemade granola. Served with whole grain artisan toast topped with almond butter and Maldon sea salt." This was delicious. The only chia seed pudding I've ever had has been crunchy, but the chia seeds were so soft and smooth, not crunchy at all. The flavor was amazing, it wasn't coconutty, more like cream cheesy. The berries added the perfect amount of sweetness. I liked the almond butter toast as well. I had a side of leafy greens so I only had a couple bites of the toast. My mom got the eggs benedict florentine, I had a bite of them and they were great as well. They had a lemony taste. Service was great, our waitress was very attentive and well-paced. Overall, very pleasantly surprised and will be coming back! read more

The food here was really good and the service was even better. We love the freshness of our breakfast. The eggs were good (the one egg looked so small), sausage was fresh (for the price the meals should all come with at least 2) and the pancakes were fluffy. The potatoes were good, however some were a little burned. The new Clem atmosphere was refreshing. Come early on Friday, Saturday or Sunday or you won't end up with a seat!! read more

Fast and friendly. Some of the staff is still learning, so patience is a a great attribute to have. Food has been phenomenal and has not been disappointing. Price is reasonable, portions are reasonable as well. read more

the lemon ricotta pancakes are amazing !! so fluffy and light.. will certainly be ordering them again...

Beware! Riverview location does not care about customers! Last month, I visited the Riverview location on a Tuesday morning. They sat us a community table by ourselves. No one came to see us. I noticed 4 other groups get sat at other tables. Immediately someone greeted them and took their orders. The hostess noticed we still had no drinks so she went into the kitchen area and told them to come help us. At this point, I realized we had sat there for over 15 mins. The hostess came by and said some will be with you. At that time another customer came inside and asked if a waiter would be helping them. The hostess seemed flustered with the waitstaff. I was surprised she did not at least get our drink order. There were two hostess in the front and neither were doing a thing. I had enough so I walked back to the kitchen and told everyone in the area that I sat there for over 15 mins and none of you came over to help our table yet several of you are standing there doing nothing. We walked out and went to Denny's and had great service. Can't wait for KiKis to open down the street. This location will suffer do to lack of customer service and no longer being the new breakfast spot. By the way, I wrote a letter explaining my experience to corporate. No Response! They don't care. read more
