Excellent food & service. Everything is fresh! First Watch gets very busy so go online & check in to do "call-ahead" seating. It's not a reservation but it will get you a table sooner than later. read more

First time at this location. Food was great. Waitress was friendly and informative. Cannot complain about anything here.

Great service and great food! Desiree is the best! I got the Parmesan Prosciutto toast, and it was perfect!

Great food! Place gets packed so make sure you get here before the rush. Omeletes and pancakes are some of the best i've had.

Great place to eat at, but don't order to go! I've never received my complete order whenever I ordered takeout. I recently paid $200 for breakfast through Uber Eats. It was missing grits, the AM Power Bowl, and two sunny side eggs on my biscuit gravy breakfast! How do you forget a piece of the breakfast that belongs with the breakfast. Never ordering from here again! Terrible! Learn how to pack an order! So irritated by stupidity! Three strikes and you're out! Oh and when you call there, they didn't answer their phone at all. read more

I really wanted to give five stars, but when half the bacon comes out stiff as a dried wood board, you get four stars. The place is nice. The food great. I got the pumpkin pancake breakfast. It came with two eggs, and a sausage patty. I added a side of bacon. Two strips of bacon were cooked fresh the other two had been sitting under a hot lamp. I also got a kale tonic. Kale tonic was fresh and great. The pumpkin pancake was good, the sausage patty was excellent. The wife got the smoked salmon egg Benedict. She said it was excellent, I tried it and agreed. Overall I would recommend and come back. I just wouldn't order any bacon! read more

Cute place! Nice & clean. Staff was friendly. Stuff is a little on the pricey side for such little portions. I came with my husband but I definitely wouldn't bring my kids because of the cost. Other than that it was good. read more

First Watch always hits. I often come here with my classmates after we've had a lecture or in between class. The staff are super welcoming and thoughtful. I got the power bowl this time. Trying to hit those macros, new year new me, all that good stuff. I was very happy with the food, as always. Great place for brunch! read more

This place is a good restaurant for brunch. Good solid breakfast and tasty too. The broccoli cheddar soup was ok I would give it a two stars needs more work and flavor. The Biscuits and Turkey gravy was fresh and tasty and filling. My favorite was the million dollar bacon baked with brown sugar and maple syrup. I could eat a dozen of these. The tomato basil soup was also ok give it a 3.5 stars. The avacado toast was food and very flavorful on a thicker toast. The egg that it came with should have been two eggs but it looked like only one eggs and it looked dismal. They need more work on the eggs. My sin really liked the chickenchanga. Will definitely be back to try more items and order more bacon! read more

Desiree was incredibly attentive and perfectly personable! We couldn't have asked for a better server. She recommended the lemon blackberry French toast and it did not disappoint! She also recommended the million dollar bacon, another home run rec! We were so pleased with our experience here and with Desiree, we will definitely be back! read more

I've eaten here 5 times and have tried a different dish each time. Service is usually excellent, prices comparative. The difference is the quality of the food Healthy choices abound On my visit today , there was a small hiccup in service. I ordered a meal that included an egg . The meal arrived without the egg. My waitress never noticed it. The kitchen could not make my egg of choice because it would take too long, as it was close to closing. I also asked for more milk for my second cup of coffee, it never arrived. I will return to eat there and hope my next visit will be better read more

The food here is absolutely amazing and the service matches it!! Definitely recommend the strawberry tres leches french toast! Desiree made our last visit fun and memorable!! read more

From the moment I walked in, to the moment I left, the first watch in Sewell made me feel welcomed! The seasonal menu was fantastic. You gotta try that steak and potato burrito! We were there for a little over two hours, and never felt rushed to leave. The staff was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I've been to other locations of this chain and I've never been blown away. Today made me a certified fan. Miss Desiree is also a joy. and you should definitely trust her with recommendations.! read more

Everything was extremely salty. I like a lot of salt, I didn't have to reach for the salt shaker at all and still found everything too salty. I order the Smoked Salmon and Roasted Vegetable Frittata. Didn't care much for the salmon, maybe it was the type of salmon... I don't know. Potatoes were undercooked and salty. The ciabatta bread with butter was sooo salty... why would they salt this? I might give this place another try, maybe it was an off day, but it won't be soon. read more

Every location so far has been amazing! Delicious food. Quick service. Great experience. One of our favorites!

Just not good. But it used to be. For the prices honestly I would love to have more than a slice of BLACK avocado and I would love fresh greens. It wasn't always like this but I'd has been the last 4 times. Just done with them.. should've probably gave up on them when I found a hair in my omelette a couple months ago. read more

Fantastic food, great prices, and every person was so friendly. Highly recommend the power wrap. Delicious and very tasty. This location in sewell is very clean, ample parking, and fantastic outdoor dinning. read more

I love first watch - I go all the time in the DMV area so of course I stopped here to have breakfast. They were busy as usual on a Saturday afternoon, and I was seated within 15 mins with using the app. My issue was the food took almost 40 mins for 1/2 salad 1/2 sandwich, granola bowl, and the trifecta. Just was a little unexceptional and not the service they usually always provide. read more

Food was phenomenal and the service excellent. I had the crab/Avocado toast with pickled onions...delicious! Family loved their waffle and French toast as well. Great rustic/industrial ambiance inside. We will be back. read more

Excellent food...fair prices. They were able to accommodate our very large party of 40+ people with almost no notice. The servers did an amazing job and everyone was happy with their food. I'm a French toast snob and really enjoyed my breakfast. They did not disappoint. read more

went for a small work event , in the early morning and Desiree was our server. Food was amazing! Everything came out super quick and she was extremely positive. I love it here- the vibes are so cozy! Will be back read more

Excellent place for a healthy breakfast or brunch! Definitely the right choice for health conscious customers looking us. Ambiance and interior design is awesome, other than it gets pack at times, so be an early bird if you want to get accommodated easily. read more

Al pastor hash is delish. Food is made fresh so be prepared to wait. Coffee is so strong I usually only need 1 cup, 2 @ most. Typical wait time on a weekend brunch is 45 minutes to an hour. read more

Took our four generations of women to this spot for brunch this morning. Couldn't have been happier with the service-Desiree and the manager in training were phenomenal. They (and all the staff) were so sweet to my daughter. Desiree made a suggestion for my crabcake Benedict that was absolutely perfect for me to test the waters without going too off the wall. Beautiful, naturally lit, clean. Delicious food. We loved everything we had. read more

Good food, shitty management. Don't recommend conventions that allow their employees to sleep together.

All the food here is so delicious & fresh! I love their seasonal menus, and they always have new juice concoctions to try. I only wish they were open a little later, because they generally close around 2:30pm, and who doesn't love a good evening plate of cozy breakfast food? :) read more

Not our first time here and for sure we will be back. Desiree was our server today and she was warm, welcoming and helped with some "specials of the day" suggestions. I did the usual Trifecta with the waffle - you cannot go wrong. Desiree was prompt and courteous and always had a smile. Thank you Desiree for making our visit enjoyable. read more

Not sure how the food is but the check in process is terrible. I checked in online prior to getting there which said 15/20 min. I got there 15 minutes later and checked in at the front desk which they told me it will be another 15 minutes. Fine. I stood and waited 40 minutes. With 25 other people standing in the very small area by the door. I don't care how good the food is, not worth it. Meanwhile there were at least 4 tables cleaned and ready, no one seated as I walked out. Terribly managed. read more

I loved the unique menu. I appreciated all the pork alternatives featured on the menu. The menu has so many interesting options I could go back daily! I took 1 star off : 1/2 point for slower service and 1/2 point off because the quinoa bowls was not tasty enough to eat at all. I love that they had an online reservation /waitlist. Clean open dining area with ample space indoor and out. Awesome brunch spot. read more

We love Desiree!!!!!!! The food is phenomenal! The best waffles! & can we please keep the Chicken Pesto Hash Bowl!! That bowl was AMAZING! read more

I never ever write reviews but because i'm so angry i can't help but feel I have to share this story. I went this morning and the lady at the front told me ten mins wait time, i understood especially being it was a busy saturday morning. Ten minutes go by, she came and told us they were trying to find a table where my 18 month old can sit in the high chair where it won't be in the way, I understood. So now about twenty minutes go by, i've seen so many people get called back, my gut told me something was off. I told my husband to check how much longer being that I am in my third trimester and i'm HANGRY at this point. I also can tell my daughter is getting hungry. This is already a lot longer than we were told. He checks and by the facial expressions I could tell either someone forgot us or that someone else made a mistake and accidentally skipped us. I left crying hysterically because at this point i'm STARVING. I just didn't understand how you could skip or forget a pregnant woman with an 18 month old toddler. Because of this I won't be going back. I think I am a pretty decent person, I'm very respectful and I tip well because I am a server myself, so this just was not right. I understand maybe there was a six top table open and were a family of 3 but I also saw them call back parties of 2/3. There was no explanation other than they messed up. read more

This place was the real deal when it first opened. You couldn't even get a seat! When I FINALLY was able to snag a table I will say I was mildly underwhelmed. The service was great and the food was... just ok. I had a "farm fresh plate" and while there was a ton of flavor.. it wasn't anything special compared to what I can get at a local diner. My greatest dissappiontment was ordering the "fresh" orange juice for it to simply taste like Tropicana. Overly sweet, zero pulp... my heart was devastated. read more

I've been 2 x within the last month. On 12/23 for lunch and today for breakfast- each with a party of 4. I will most likely not be back. On 12/23, it took a long time for the food to arrive and the order was not correct. The server did apologize and fixed the order including offering me a discount. Also during this visit, the manager/server(?) yelled loudly at the staff in the kitchen which could be heard in most of the dining area. Today, my husband's egg Benedict platter was served cold. My mom said her gf French toast was good and I enjoyed my chocolate chip pancake. The million dollar bacon was ok but didn't live up to the title for me. Also, I do recommend that anyone serving or preparing food should have their hair up. Please put this into practice. read more
