This place has such a lively atmosphere! We were greeted right at the door, and they even held it open for me and my party, which was a nice touch. The wait was super short no more than about five minutes. The food was good, and I tried their new seasonal drink and sandwich, which I really enjoyed. One of our orders did come out wrong, which is always a little inconvenient since we had to send it back and wait for a new plate. However, our hostess was incredibly nice with a great personality and answered all of our questions without hesitation, which definitely made up for it. I also love that I can literally walk there from my apartment that's a huge plus for me. The prices weren't bad at all either. I'll definitely be back! read more

We had brunch recently at First Watch on Sonterra Blvd. Starting with coffee for hubby and myself and hot chocolate for Dad. Hubby had the Breakfast Taco, Dad had the Classic Breakfast with 2 sunny side up, bacon, and potatoes, and I had the Ham and Gruyere Omelette. Everything was well made but we had too much food. Definitely took home leftovers. Great service! Recommend this location. read more

Brent waited on me as soon as I sat. He was very friendly which made me feel very comfortable. The food came out quickly and was delish. It was a tad too loud, so I put my earphones in. All good. read more

Always a great experience when visiting this location. Customer service is always 12/10, food comes out quickly, and it always tastes amazing. Portions are pretty big for breakfast so I definitely suggest coming in with an appetite. I love how consistent this location is. I also like that you can pay at the front with a cashier or at your table by scanning the QR code on your receipt -- makes for a quick exit as the front of the restaurant can get busy with checkout, pick up orders, and those waiting to be seated. Always suggested to join the waitlist before arriving because most times there's a wait. One of my favorite brunch spots in the city -- be sure to stop by! read more

My wife and I took our 2 adult kids out to breakfast yesterday and found First Watch restaurant while looking for Egg and I (which is closed btw). Son and I had pancakes which were huge! Good thing I only got one. Couldn't even finish it. Mine was a little dry and needed lots of butter and syrup. He had blueberry pancakes which he said were good. Wife had a waffle which she described as good also. The best part of the meal was the "million dollar bacon" which I believe was on the appetizer menu. Very tasty and well worth the $8. We had 2 of them. Waitress was very attentive and quick and check out was a breeze, being done online. The place was clean and looked to be recently remodeled ( though the floor in the men's bathroom was a little slippery). We will go again and probably just split a pancake and have more of that bacon! read more

Honestly my omelet was ok, what I loved is my friend order the chocolate chip pancakes and they were AMAZING and fluffy and not to sweet just perfection, if I come back it would be for that! read more

I go to this place once in a while and the food is always good. This time, I didn't even get to the food. I sat down and was ignored as waiters came and went and chatted amongst themselves. 15 minutes, nothing, not even an "I'll be right there". Didn't even get a coffee. Service was non existent and the place was not even a third full. read more

My bf and myself love trying out different breakfast spots around north SA. We came across this place since it's down the street from us! I love looking at cleanliness, service, and if quality foods match the price. First things first, walking in, it looks very tidy, very well lit areas, tables are ready with mugs for some coffee. The waiter/waitresses we have had thus far have been prompt, very nice, and helpful. The menu: can be a bit overwhelming in a good way because there is a variety of food with so many different ingredients that they use! You can indulge or have yourself a nice healthy breakfast option. (Carrot cake pancake is a great treat-huge size for just one!) The food: the few things I've tried have been really good with all the different types of flavors it goes into it, I can really appreciate whoever came up with the meal. They usually have a seasonal menu as well, and that's what I love to try. This morning we tried the B.E.C.-bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on sourdough, and the so cal hash, both were really good! Fave from the two was the hash! The flavors were amazing! Side note: they have alcohol there as well in case you like to start the weekend early. read more

The power of a review will show here.. so we have stopped at plenty of first watch restaurants, from AZ to Florida, and even in San Antonio, unfortunately this location disappointed us... so my sons have an intolerance to seed oils, and we have all as a family adhered to it being a seed oil allergy, we have kindly asked everywhere we've gone, if possible could our eggs be cooked in Real butter.. and at every location it has not been a problem, but here... not the case.. It was stated that they have it, but will not use it to cook.. so after sitting and ordering, we had to get up and leave, as they would not budge.. Sad.. as we had a long flight in the morning, my kids were super hungry, and the employees stood at the little back area, talking amongst themselves in a way that made us feel like an inconvenience! Considered First Watch, have butter, I know it cost more to use real food, but if you're interested in real ingredients, families like us, would appreciate it. read more

We came for lunch for the first time! The two for $10 something was a great deal. I got a loaded half sandwich and a great side salad. It's a great combo of course they have other choices on the pick two. Give it a try! read more

The food and service were amazing, per usual and there was no wait. The Tri-fecta Breakdasr was enough food for us to share with a little bit of everything (eggs, pancakes, and bacon) and the Morning Mediation was a refreshing beverage. Jacob was personable, attentive, and super quick. This was a great way to kick off our 4th of July. read more

Looking to assuage a little hunger after a few hours of Saturday morning tennis, the wife and I stopped in for some brunch. We were seated immediately in an auxiliary dining room. After considering many delicious candidates, the Market Smash won out. The wife selected the elevated egg sandwich. We barely started our conversation when the food was delivered. I half expected the waiter to say we knew you were coming and had your order waiting on you. It was less than five minutes. The Market had goat cheese on it with spinach, mushrooms, onions, and potatoes. It was perfectly cooked and very delicious. The wife made a happy plate of her breakfast sandwich. She also ordered the OJ. After tasting it she offered me a sip. It was fresh squeezed and fantastic. Overall, a fine meal and good service. Bin appetit Yelpers! read more

Service was slow even though the restaurant was about 1/3 full. Food was ok but not great. I ordered an extra side dish and it was served late. Don't know if that was a particular issue with the location but not in synch with other First Watch locations I have visited before. read more

I have eaten at this location of First Watch a countless number of times and ~generally~ have had a good experience! Today, I decided to place a to-go order and have to say it was one of the better experiences! I ordered the Healthy Turkey Omelet w/o feta, an Inspired Italian Omelet and a Belgian Waffle. The Healthy Turkey Egg-white omelet was so incredibly fluffy and the onions were cooked perfectly! I thoroughly enjoyed this! Oddly enough, I have ordered "no feta" with this omelet every time I've been to First Watch and today was the first time this location actually got that correct- an exciting thing for me! As for the Inspired Italian omelet... it was great as well but not mine (just snagged a taste). The waffle was good but not great! It was a bit too soft and seemed soggy although it didn't have butter or syrup on it yet. Wouldn't order that again- may try the pancakes next time. I will keep going back as I love that the nutrition information is readily available, food tastes good and a larger group can all find something they want. read more

3 words: Million Dollar Bacon! You gotta try it in something, with something, or on the side. It's delicious! Bloody Mary was pretty tasty and I love the presentation with the little bottle on the side! The chickenchanga was delicious and the spicy level was low. The fried potatoes are deliciously crispy on the sides and soft in the middle. The Traditional plate was on-point. Over easy eggs were perfect. I added us to the waitlist when we left the house, so we only had about a 5-minute wait when we arrived. Our server was attentive, but we did have to track her down to ask for a few things. She was clearly busting her booty, but didn't do a good job of glancing our way to see if we needed anything. The kitchen service was gruelingly slow. I'd say we waited about 30 minutes for our food, which is a long time when it's just a couple there for breakfast. Not much to catch up on conversation wise. It's a good thing the food was so good - worth the wait! read more

Camden was our server and he was awesome. The biscuits and gravy just might be the best in town and while this is a chain restaurant you get that small town feel every time you be here and also if you get a chance, be sure to try out their buttery grits They're very soft and delicious. They have great coffee too!!! read more

Since I've been in San Antonio, this location in Sonterra never misses. I thought I had reviewed them before but apparently I hadn't. Unfortunately, they missed today. Blame it on the eclipse. Blame it being busy. Blame it on poor quality control. I just know this pick up was a sad disappointment. Normally, the food is amazing and portions appropriate. This is not my first time having the Million Dollar Harvest Hash. I think it's pretty amazing. But this hot mess in sustainable packaging was sad. First, this looks like almost half the portion they normally provide. Trust me, the picture is what I received before I took one bite. The kale was barely there, most of the ingredients were barely there. The bacon was overcooked. It just wasn't giving what it gave the last two times I ate it. I'm giving them 4 stars in the strength of past experience. But if I had to rate it in this one alone I'd only give them 2 stars. So disappointing. read more

Good food and nice ambiance! Always fresh ingredients and good portions. Well-trained staff.

We have come here multiple times and the potatoes are always not fully cooked. This time we ordered take out and literally all of the potatoes in all the meals were almost completely raw on the inside. This is ridiculous because a restaurant should know how to cook food fully. read more

What a fabulous place to have breakfast ! I met four of my friends here, which was very clean. We each ordered our individual plates, but we wanted to try the pumpkin pancakes so we ordered two and split them between the five of us. We also had to try the million dollar bacon, four come to an order. We split these and they were very delicious, I totally recommend to try. We will be bring back to order the pancakes with our kids! The service was impeccable, and they were able to accommodate by splitting our check five ways with no problem. The bathrooms were very clean also. read more

Bottom Line Up Front: Above Average Restaurant for San Antonio. The quality of the food is proportionate to the price, which is where I believe this particular establishment should fall in line. The presentation of the food and the customer service is above the standard you find in this town. The major downside is an App to get on the waitlist. The accuracy of the wait time experienced versus what is estimated does not come close to meeting the mark. My retort to not taking phone request is those in that generational gap of technology proficiency. My recommendation is to have an App, take phone calls and website check-ins for getting on a wait list. By generating a multi-platform capability, you can capture all technology skill levels to entice all paying customers. Time is a resource we never get more of, so why spend it as a customer waiting on a table? The food: I ordered the bacado omelette. The toast was pre-buttered, which, for my liking, there was too much butter and I'd rather control how much or how little I slather on my bread. The potatoes were undercooked on some of the potatoes; so, I would recommend them cooking longer to a more crispy state. The omelette was solid but not overly impressive as the edges, as seen in the photo, were overcooked. All in all, I would recommend, at least, giving this place a shot! read more
