    Absolutely filthy takeout container
    Justine G.

    Legit appalled that someone thought it was OK to pack our takeout order using these disgusting moldy takeout containers. Serious health hazard and just goes to show how the back of the house doesn't care. This container should have been thrown in the trash, not used to pack my son's scrambled eggs. The food is good but will not be ordering takeout from First Watch again because they clearly don't care. Breakfast Company would never.

    Lemon ricotta Specialty Pancakes Brunch

    The breakfast was really good. The pancakes were enormous and fluffy and so lemony. My husband got a side of grits but I like mine a little dry and these were very wet so not my favorite. The triathlete omelets was good but I prefer the items mixed into the eggs and not just folded. The potatoes were outstanding and toast it came with was also seedy and delicious. Loved that they put a pot of coffee on the table to serve yourself.

    We have walked by this place so many times and I finally decided to have breakfast. I sat at the outside bar and enjoyed the sunshine and people watching. I tried the homemade Bloody Mary which was delicious. I also had the chickichanga which was huge and so good! The service was fantastic and I loved the cashier when I checked out! I'm so glad I finally stopped! I would recommend and will be back!

    We did come back as we said before. This is a convenient location to our hotel downtown. It is clean with easy street parking. The ambiance is casual. Service was good. We did a takeout and went back to our hotel to eat. I don't know how this could've happened, but they didn't give us our eating utensils! There are none in our room, so my daughter had to go downstairs to ask for them. Inconvenient, to say the least. The other problem was that I asked for sunny side up, but they gave me overcooked , easy-over. I only ate a few bites of it. It's disappointing because I like to spread the yolks over my potatoes. The regular bacon was cooked perfectly. The English muffin was not toasted enough. Couldn't eat it. The coffee was good, though. Maybe we'll be back next year.

    Food is great!!! Service is a little slow lots of food options and the servers are very nice they also have a kids menu with good options and the prices are good

    Barbacoa breakfast tacos

    We've been here a few times and it's always great. They recently updated their menu and it's really good. I had the Barbacoa breakfast tacos. The eggs were generous and the tortilla shell was crunchy. The barbacoa was great. Next time I'm there, I'll try the chilaquiles. Good idea to make biscuits and gravy with eggs on the side a standard menu item. Also, the service is great.

    Ordered first watch, they gave me avocado toast that looked like it had been sitting on the shelf for days. All other items were cold. They don't pickup the phone to rectify either.

    Breakfast Tacos with Chorizo

    Took a quick trip to Sarasota and we decided on breakfast at First watch. We tried: Smoked Salmon Benedict Farm Stans Breakfast Tacos The Traditional Kale Tonic Fresh Juice Really nice location with fresh food. I can always count on First watch to provide a lovely atmosphere and breakfast that isn't heavy. The Kale Tonic is a must if you're scared to try green juices. I would return!

The dinner menu features four salads, each priced between $17 and $19, with optional add-ons: fish for $11, avocado for $4, or grilled chicken for $6. Entrées range from a vegan beetroot risotto to a wagyu burger, priced between $19 and $28. I ordered the Baja burrito--filled with avocado, red cabbage, carrot, cashew cheese, and wrapped in a massaged collard green burrito. It was tasty, but it's definitely a dish best appreciated by vegans who truly enjoy collard greens. My husband chose the goat cheese salad, a mix of organic greens, goat cheese mousse, pickled shallots, candied pecans, preserved grapes, house-made crackers, mustard pearls, and maple vinaigrette, also $18. The goat cheese was extremely creamy and paired beautifully with the light, airy toasted pieces served alongside. It made for the perfect light entrée. For dessert, he had the pumpkin chia pudding--creamy, lightly spiced, and satisfying without being heavy--so we ended the night feeling perfectly content, not overly full. There was a gentleman playing the saxophone just outside the door, a bit hard to carry on a conversation at times but very adorable when he played happy birthday for a little boy who clapped for joy. Very heartwarming moment. Go and enjoy a very healthy dinner.
