I am so late to the party! Finally made it here for breakfast since my friend was visiting from out of town and I don't like to cook much when I have visitors. I noticed on their website that you can get on the "wait in line" list so I added hubby's info. Well, when we got there there was no line at all and we were seated right away. A few minutes after we were seated our server Miranda was taking our drink orders. She did a great job with her recommendations and I was not disappointed at all. Looking over the menu, I was undecided. So many good choices to choose from. We decided to get an order of the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and The Traditional with no substitutions. My hubby ordered the Multi-grain pancake with regular bacon. Lemon Ricotta Pancake - this is the first pancake that I could actually taste Lemon! It was fluffy and so yummy and the lemon curd just adds extra flavor to it. The Traditional - Everything was cooked perfect. The favorite was the meaty sausage and potatoes. Multi Grain Pancake - Hubby who is not a healthy eater loved it. He also loved the bacon and said it's very meaty. For my drink I got something from the juice bar. Miranda recommended the Pineapple Express. It was deelish! I don't know why I waited so long to stop in. I think it's because every time we drove past it, the lines were super long and I have no patience. I'll have to make sure to show up before 9am to get a spot with no wait! read more

I always get something different each time I come back. This time I got the avocado toast. I heard of it but I've never had it before. Why have I waited so long?!! Very tasty toast and flavorful avocado. My eggs looked like they sat under a heat lamp while the other entree was plating up. Still a great meal. read more

Saturday @9:15A The wait for a party of 5 was about half an hour. It was pretty busy. Nice thing is that they will text you when you're up next so you could wait in your car. Food is a tad above average, I like that they have healthier and more unique options as well as the traditional breakfast spread. Good place to take a mixed group of eaters for breakfast. read more

Excellent fresh food and service. This was my first time eating at First Watch. Wow, everything was so fresh.

Amazing food, fast and service was great. Our group loved sitting outside enjoying delicious food together, Definitely recommend!

the food isn't like amazing, but it's good for the price and convenience. it was just me stopping to have breakfast on a saturday and the community table they have is an awesome idea. its just a big table where anyone can just sit quickly, have breakfast, and then get in and out and i appreciate that a lot. they have a fall menu too right now so that's a plus. but above all, i appreciated the amazing service. the workers are what made my experience for me and i was walking out having a great day because of it. he didn't tell me his actual name he said he goes by "grandpa" lol but he's a busser and is full of good energy and was so pleasant to be around. i was enjoying my breakfast and having an amazing conversation with him and he really made my day with his kindness. i would go back again! read more

The food is amazing but the wait can be long on the weekends. We love the avocado toast and steel oats.

It was my first time here and i dint like it don't get me wrong the staffs members were super nice and great but the food was another thing ‍..For the price of the food ain't worth it the sauce has no flavor at all just plain simple and the potatoes they give me omg they were so but so salty is like little i was just eating Salt the only thing i like it was the pancakes they weren't bad but i don't think i will come back here. read more

Went for a quick brunch today 9/19/21 This place is crazy busy at least on Sundays. We called ahead 45 minutes ahead of arrival. We still ended up waiting for about 30 minutes I must admit that I hate to wait on other but this place was worth the time waiting. Server was quick and attentive. Food was a little slow but that may be because I was hangry. My party of 3 was all very happy with our lunches. My eggs were a little runny but I normally would ask for them that way. I ate them all. Will definitely be back. Well worth the price. read more

I don't think I have much to say about this place because my photo will speak for itself. I'm pregnant so opening up moldy food was disgusting and it took my appetite away. No thanks! We definitely won't be coming back here again. read more

The food and service were Excellent. I let my omelet cool a little and asked to have it warmed. They offered to make me a new one and when I declined they comped it. Everything was so great, I had to go to the Manager to insist that they not comp the meal. Never been treated better and best of all the food was great. read more

I ordered food for delivery & when I opened the bag (bag was still intact with closed sticker) I was very disappointed to see this... first, I was under the assumption that you should get 3-4 sausages since that's what is normal in the restaurant. Second, my pancake looks & smells burnt. I understand I chose to not eat in restaurant, but that should not mean the food I receive is done so poorly. read more

I will probably need to come back and try something different but overall, I liked this place. The reason for the 3 stars was that my food was way too salty. But I am not sure if it is because of the dish I ordered and the method that it was cooked. I had the Farm house hash. The skillet it was in May have been seasoned a bit much. Overall, I liked the dish but again wish it was less salty. The place is clean. Organized. We'll staffed. The staff was friendly and on it. There was lots of food items I wanted to try and plan to come back and get different things as I love breakfast and this place has lots to choose from. I did grab some of their donuts to go and those too were very good. If you're in the area, give it a try. Could be worth your time for breakfast/brunch/lunch. read more

See below for an actual picture of me cooking the raw potatoes they put in my order. Do better First Watch, there were hardly any customers in the restaurant when I picked up. If I wanted to cook my own breakfast I wouldn't have given you my money. And I mean RAW! read more

Ok, here is the deal! It was my first time here. Coffee was good, service was a little slow. My food came out a little cold. However I'm giving this place a second shot. The server was nice, just seemed in the weeds. Kitchen must have been too. Flavor was good just could have came out a little more warm! read more

First off super happy there's a First watch in Austin! I enjoy their rotating seasonal menus and their non rotating menu lol Today I had the farm house skillet with over medium eggs, and yup still delicious! We also ordered million dollar bacon for my cousin to try and guess what still delicious! Especially for my cousin because she typically doesn't go for the sweet bacon, but this one she said was perfect. I did find out something new and I am so happy I asked our kind and wonderful waitress Karla, "what kind of toast is this?" As she told me she also mentioned that I would not find this in stores, but I was able to purchase a loaf there! Say whatttt?!? So I did because it will be perfect for my sandwiches. I will definitely be back. Great service, great food, and cleanliness was great. read more

Presentation 4/5 Nothing to say about presentation, it just could be better Speed 5/5 The food and drinks came really fast, right after we ordered. Taste 4/5 Most of the bacon was fat. Amount / Variety 5/5 There was not too much or too little of a serving. It seemed like there would've been a lot of people based on how full the parking lot was, but there was lots of tables still open, and ready to be used. This was my first time coming here and I hope I will get to come here again in the future. read more

Came Mon Oct 9 for brunch with my birthday BOGO entree. I really liked my smoked salmon Benedict, baby greens, squash bisque, and Purple Haze juice especially when it is free! Husband enjoyed pumpkin and blueberry pancake short stack with ham and pot of coffee with pumpkin spice creamer. Daughter had ham and gruyere melt with tomato soup and honey crunch iced coffee not too sweet and delicious. Will be back for next family birthday. read more

First off let me say WOW! We have been to many first watch and the food is always amazing but the service and management team is amazing! Todd does a fantastic job with treating guests and staff like family and friends. All the servers and hosts welcomed you with big smiles and good mornings and striking up a conversation. All staff supported each other and made it a point to sweep the restaurant to see if anyone needed anything before they went into the kitchen. Best service I've had at any result! And the ambiance is great so clean and fresh! read more

First Watch Round Rock is great, busy but great. It's especially busy with the after church crowds so just preparing you now. It's worth it though. I always get the AM Superfoods Bowl now because it's so good! The lemon ricotta pancakes are also a good choice. The expensive bacon is not worth it.

TL:DR - they lie about wait times to get people to wait for obscenely long. It's a gross practice that's unfair to patrons and workers. Look, it was Sunday brunch, waits were expected. However, this place was so beyond disorganized it was depressing. We are a hour and a half into a "50 minute wait" and just told "20-30 minutes more." The to-go orders are piling up, the people running that operation are squabbling with each other trying to get those orders out the door. This is a big franchise, get an app or at least stop undershooting the wait time to make people queue up? Also just my 2 cents- the hostess decked head to toe in a certain university's gear while she lies about wait times really dilutes the brand for that university synonymous with virtue ethics. Since so many people have seen the review I will update with: we were seated after 2 hours and 10 minutes of our "50 minute" projected wait time, it took probably an 40 minutes to get our food. The kitchen must have had major staffing issues, not anyone's fault...besides whomever was deciding to continue adding to the seating queue. We were leaving within 10 minutes of closing time and there was still a lobby filled with people waiting. I feel for those people. We won't be back, not just the wait - that place clearly has bad worker conditions to cause that much havoc. read more

Nice brunch place we visited in Austin. The wait time wasn't too bad...maybe about 15 minutes. The place itself is clean and nicely decorated. I've never been to my local First Watch but will definitely visit. I liked the casual brunch atmosphere. Service and food were great. Good portions and reasonable prices. read more

I gave this place a try... Should have known when I asked the question to our waiter " What's is the the cinnamon chips where in there cinnamon chip pancakes?" He did not have a clue about them. He said that they where cinnamon chips... so I asked is it grated cinnamon. He looked puzzled by my statement. So I ask are the waffles good, nice and crispy on the outside " golden brown. He said yes. So I ordered the waffle and and eggs with bacon, plus sausage. Total with out tip 18.00, WOW. He must have changed me and up charge for a cup that was empty to go for my coffee. So in closing my coffee was equivalent to Mc D's. Coffee. I will never go back... it's a over priced Kirby Lane Cafe. Picture read more

No good veggie options but it was ok. We waited for a while but thankfully book people was near by to pass some time.

I went here with a few coworkers after a night shift at the hospital, and we all had a really good time! I wasn't in the mood for something heavy since I was going to bed after this early morning meal, and thankfully this brunch spot had a number lighter options. Eggs Benedict doesn't normally scream "light," but their smoked salmon Benedict with an arugula salad on the side was delicious and didn't fill me with regrets. One of my coworkers bought a cinnamon roll to share with the table, and the bite I had of that was really good -- the kind of thing I absolutely would have ordered myself if I had a normal sleep schedule. I cheated a little and got their cinnamon toast cereal milk cocktail. It was tasty enough, but certainly not congruent with my plan of not loading up on calories before bed. They give you enough to pour yourself two glasses, and I don't think they skimp on the alcohol. If you wanna start your day mildly turnt, the brunch cocktails here are the way. I really only came because I was invited, but I'll almost certainly be back. You might even say I'll give First Watch a second look nyuk nyuk nyuk. It may be a national chain, but with strong selection of healthy breakfast options and generously portioned brunch cocktails, it's a cut above your average diner for sure. read more

What a great experience at this First Watch. Our server was very attentive and efficient making sure everything was taken care of, despite it being the Saturday morning rush. We hardly had to wait for anything. I also appreciated the level of service for handling a table with a small child. She put his order in first, which is always great since they have smaller attention spans and levels of patience. It really made our morning out more of a breeze. To top it off, the food was delicious and fresh, as expected. We will be back! read more
