Great food, fresh ingredients, friendly staff. My over medium eggs were cooked to perfection. My only complaints are that it's in a strip mall (all the ambiance of a parking lot) and the $6 blended juice was 85% ice cubes. read more

First things first, do your research. I didn't realize this location didn't sell alcohol, so I was super bummed when I tried to order a cocktail I saw on the website, and I couldn't get it. :( Everything was great though. Our server, Camille, was awesome. She was very informative about the menu and answered whatever questions we had with ease. I ordered the Crab & Avocado Toast, and it was as amazing as it sounds. I believe it's a seasonal item, so get it while you can. I got my eggs scrambled, since I'm not much of a runny egg lover. Throw some hot sauce on the eggs and the avocado toast, and drift away to heaven. It was delicious. My wife ordered the Chickichanga and she said that was also amazing too! The next time I visit St. Louis, I'll be sure to stop by one of these locations. read more

First Watch - Carrot Cake Pancake Million Dollar Bacon French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Ann, Missouri

Visiting from out of town and didn't have a lot of options in this area for lunch. I came here as they seemed to have some healthy options like salad, sandwiches, and juice. Came here at lunch on a Monday and was seated quickly and had a very nice waitress. I order the passion mango drink which was sweet and tangy. I ordered the Monterey BLT with the Cobb salad and it was pretty tasty and with fresh ingredients. Service was fast and nice. Inside it's like got that rustic breakfast vibe. I attempted to come here again for lunch on Tuesday and I was seated by the hostess and she said "Tanya" would be with me shortly. The place had made 5 tables there spread out. It was not busy at all. I sat waiting for 15 minutes and no one came to offer me water or acknowledge me or take my order. I saw waitresses in the back chatting and not helping anyone. Then a waitress came out and started training another waitress and still wouldn't look at me or take my order. I have never done this before but I got up and just left. The hostess didn't seem too bothered and I honestly doubt they noticed I left. Two stars for such horrible service, which is a shame since the food was decent. read more

It has been quite a way since I was able to give an establishment a 5/5. I will say over all the food was a 3 to 4 however what made this experience a 5 was the waitress. She was excellent. Attentive but not an overly bugaboo. The wait time to get a table , place an order and the arrival of the food on Saturday late morning was about as the best it can get. Salmon eggs benedict: 4/5. Hot fresh and oh so good , especially when the yolk from the egg was unleashed and mixed in the freshness of the fish. Skillet Potatoes 4/5: The portion on the plate I received was just warm. I informed the waitress and she brought out even more potatoes but this time they were hot. They were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Plain pancake: 3/5: Pancake was as big as the plate. It was ok; probably not an item I would not try again. I'm just funny about my pancakes . It wasn't as fluffy and perfectly bouncy as I require it to be in order to get a 4 or higher on 5 point scale. The atmosphere was lively, bright, and bustling and I can't wait to go back. read more

The food is pretty good! I have eaten @ First Watch several times. I have tried a few of the menu items. I am I sucker for breakfast items. Breakfast is the best meal of the day hands down. The service is always always nice. Everyone that has served me have been great. I can say I have never had a waitress that I do not like. The ambiance @ each of the many First Watches that I've eaten at is always neat and clean. read more

No shade but a few weeks ago when in town, my goal was to go to Whitebox Eatery. I had no clue that they had closed the previous year. Scrambling trying to find a place to go and having errands to run I recalled this First Watch had opened up in the newly redesigned North West Plaza. I was surprised when I pulled up. There was a line out of the door, and every seat was taken. It didn't take more than five minutes to be seated. Two tables sitting around me had their orders taken, and I sat and sat. I had to wave my server down. He apologized about not getting to me. In my mind, I thought that better be the only hiccup because that was a significant ball drop undoubtedly on Super Bowl Sunday and for the first-time service. I ordered the "Trifecta" but changed a few things around. I went with the granola and banana crunch pancakes. I exchanged the seasoned potatoes instead of the eggs and went with the chicken sausage. I also went with the new Blue Booster drink with no ice. I was surprised at the size of the glass (slightly sample size, not thirst-quenching at all) but it's fresh juice. The server brought out the syrup, and it came out warm - Amen! The food arrived shortly after ordering and was delivered by a sweet smiling woman. My first thought...this pancake is huge !!! The bananas and granola we're actually in the pancake batter not just on top and I really appreciated that. Good seasoning on the potatoes as well as the chicken sausage. On the whole, it was a good experience, and in a pinch, I would undoubtedly return again. read more

Leaving a day early from St. Louis MO, had to get breakfast before heading out. This spot was close to my hotel and I was very hungry so wanted to check it out. Read some of the reviews before heading this way and happy with my choice. I was seated quickly, and got my food pretty quickly. The decor in this building was super cute as well. Only con is when I asked a waitress if she could grab my fruit that my waitress forgot she looked at me very annoyed. I was very polite, so I was taken aback by her attitude. The food tasted great, the fruit was fresh, and overall I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Need a bite before heading to the airport?! Stop at this First Watch and have a delicious healthy meal before you get on that plane!! The place is very cozy, I love their ambiance! I like their menu so much that it takes me a while to decide, so I love their "2 for YOU" where you pick 2 choices which are super generous! Sorry pictures don't show the food, I didn't want to miss my flight and I forgot. Next time!! Here's some photos of their cool dining room. read more

Best breakfast spot in stl, come here every morning anytime I'm in town!.....................................

Father's Day brunch. Very busy (45 min wait, online check in) The staff were very polite and upbeat. Hostess at front desk was super friendly and was doing a great job dealing with a few customers who didn't understand why they had to wait so long to be seated. Only complaint was I received the wrong pancake (I know first work problem right?) ordered a blueberry and received chocolate. Chocolate ended up being very good tho. read more

Top notch service and food! The friendly hostess made me feel welcome when I walked in and immediately took me to a table. Our server was excellent! She checked in on us and made sure we all were satisfied with our meals and drinks. I enjoyed their biscuits and gravy! Excellent turkey gravy with eggs, and potatoes. So tasty! read more

First time eating here! The food was amazing! I had Eggs Benedict! Totally recommend this place for good quality food!

Amazing food quality & taste. Service is always great as well. Wide variety of menu selections.

This place is always good. Love their million dollar bacon and fresh drinks. The wait times are always pretty slow but sometime waiting through their website works. Overall great place. Will definitely go back again. read more

This is a interesting place, modern menu and overall not bad foods. I personally did not care for the egg white omelette mostly because it had large uncut pieces of mushrooms. Largely bland with nothing that binds everything together. The Kale Tonic is very refreshing with cucumber, kale, apples and lemon. Definitely a winner. The summer blush isn't a bad drink but with the combo of fruits only makes it very sweet. The pancakes are as large as the plate. This place is worth the stop. Service is decent. The atmosphere is amazing. read more

This particular First Watch had highlights and disappointments. We've been to the Clayton, Kirkwood and Fenton locations and was always greeted with complimentary fruit water and coffee. But St. Ann says they only put out coffee when the wait is 15 minutes or greater . I have my opinions around this policy that our waitress told is was manager driven for this location, again Now, our service was great and so was the food and coffee once seated. We had the breakfast tacos, market hash, Belgian waffle and tried 1 of the banana crunch pancakes. All delisous and fresh. Remove 2 stars for not having signature complimentary coffee for guests waiting 10 minutes. read more

I've had bad experiences at other locations. This one was top notch. Great food and quick service. Hope to visit again.

Yum!!! This place definitely delivers. From its clean decor and tastefully staged tables to the friendly waitstaff and delicious food...this place is a MO must!! We ordered the avocado toast with easy poached eggs and a side of potatoes. The service was prompt and our food came out looking just like the yelp photos that directed us to this decision in the first place. We also ordered kale juice and decaf coffee. The juice was refreshing and the coffee strong...we were even offered to take some coffee to-go! Would definitely recommend the First Watch to anyone looking for fresh food and a friendly atmosphere. There are menu options for everyone...kids, carnivores, sweet cravers, and vegetarians alike! read more

First time back to this location since before the pandemic, since we're not local. Thrilled to find shady outdoor seating because we're still not eating inside. Came twice in two days, food fresh and excellent both times. But we really need to comment on servers Joshua, Colleen, and manager Tony for the EXCELLENT service. Truly top-notch. I don't want to ever live in Missouri again, but meals here are enough to entice me back to town! read more

They continually serve overdone brittle bacon. even went sent back, it comes back after I've finished with breakfast even more brittle, clearly overcooked. The waitstaff is nice, but do not quality check what they're serving. Very disappointing . The onions in their potatoes are cooked right nail they're actually black solid charcoal. Duh, LOOK at what you're serving before you serve it. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite on our road trip. Couldn't ask for a better spot. Waitress's were pleasant, food/drinks were excellent. I opted for the Elevated Egg Sandwich and a Morning Meditation, and my wife had the Healthy Turkey and a Kale Tonic. Both meals were excellent! I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

The pancakes, bacon and eggs taste delicious. I love the Sweet Honey Pecan salad and Roast Beef & Havarti sandwich. The horseradish can be a little overwhelming so I limit that. The Kale Tonic is one of my favorites also. I haven't been there in a little while. It's time for a First Watch run. read more

We were seated after about 5 minutes after we walked in. But then no one ever came to even offer us water. 15 plus minutes! The person who was sat immediately before us got their food and that was when we just had to get up and leave. Terrible. Experience in St.Louis at a restaurant chain that I love. read more

Food was great. Try the juice. Service was mediocre. We got seated and took 20 mins until someone came over to give drinks or even said hey. This was after watching 3 waiters walk pass us. read more
