With Shreveport being our 3rd location dining at First Watch ( Also Houston & Charleston West Virginia ) i can say what you will find at all locations is 1) Really good food 2) Great service 3) Fair prices 4) Modern decor 5) Long wait times to be seated 6) Loud atmosphere All in all we love every First Watch location & we will definitely return but be prepared for long wait times & a quite loud atmosphere. read more

We had a wonderful brunch at First Watch while spending time with family from out of town. The food was excellent across the board--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything we ordered tasted great and definitely lived up to the hype. While the service was a bit slow at times, our server was very attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of, which really helped balance things out. Overall, it was an enjoyable, relaxed brunch experience with good food and good company. We'd happily return and recommend it, especially for a casual family gathering. read more

Pretty & sleek aesthetic restaurant that offers outdoor seating. Waitress and hostess were very sweet, and our food was phenomenal. It was our first time here and I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. Way better than any other local breakfast spot (except "up for brunch"). Definitely worth the price and we enjoyed our experience all around. read more

First Watch - Chilies Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

It's a healthier breakfast with reasonable prices. The place is usually crowded. The yogurt fruit bowl and oatmeal that I ate on 2 separate occasions were fresh and filling. They also both came with a muffin. Coffee and water were both really good. Service is cool but they seem to get a little tense about servicing single diners and have a tendency to rush people out that come in by themselves. On what would have been my third time visiting, I walked in by myself and the hostess was telling everybody else that it would be a thirty minute wait. Instead of telling me individually that it would be a thirty minute wait or even greeting me with a "hello how many?" She just kinda weirdly looked through and around me until I walked up to her, locked her gaze and asked "so it'll be a thirty minute wait huh?" She said yes and then I left. read more

Brunch here was great! We went on a Friday around noon, wasn't too busy and was seated immediately! Our service was excellent, waiter really attentive. We had a booth by the window with a really nice view of outdoors. I had the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes! These things were massive and probably could have had one! They had a really savory taste! I also ordered soft scrambled eggs and they were cooked perfectly. Orange juice was very tasty! My husband had the turkey burger. He had already started eating before I could get a pic. Hence he loved it lol! I would recommend this spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch! read more

seasonal french toast and pineapple juice drink were GREAT! not sure if the eggs benedict here is supposed to be cooked firm like this or if this is abnormal at this location, but i wasn't a fan. potatoes tasted kinda weird too. service was good. i still ate mostly everything else around the eggs and said i didn't need the whole plate removed from my bill, but it got taken care of anyway. i'll be back for that juice ! read more

This widespread brunch chain graces the hipster part of Shreveport (it's across from Whole Foods) with a slightly healthier menu than what you'd find elsewhere. I put myself on the online wait list, and while this was unneeded, if we'd gotten there a little later it might have been worthwhile as the place did fill. I was a bit disappointed that the menu made it hard to get a salad without meat in it or an avocado toast without eggs, but I found something I wanted; a chia pudding with a side of almond butter toast. Both items delivered on flavor, with a sweet chia pudding having plenty of fruit and the toast adding a contrary flavor note. My tea made for a good start to the day. Realistically, I'd probably give it a star less if it were in an area with more competition, but I was glad to have found something worth eating in Shreveport. read more

Great in every way, food ,service and Vibe. Our server Justin was very prompt with our food (still hot and steamy). Best breakfast/brunch spot in Shreveport hands down.

The food, service, and atmosphere were all fine. I have no complaints. I also didn't experience anything exceptional enough to comment on. I had the avocado toast and my dining companion had grits and the muffin of the day. All were mid. read more

Avocado toast is to die for. It's my favorite!!! Service is iffy. Sometimes it's amazing and sometimes we don't even have a waiter. It's kind of whoever is free to bring drinks or food. read more

***SKIMP-FLATION ALERT*** I've ordered the traditional breakfast -- scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and potatoes -- many times at many First Watch locations, and they do a nice job. However, this time around, the scrambled eggs were...weird. They had clearly just come out of the pan, as they were piping hot, but there was a trickle of liquid (raw egg, I assumed) dribbling off of them, and the texture was just...very strange. Not at all what I expect from scrambled eggs. When I mentioned this to our (polite, attentive, and personable) server, he informed me that these were "cage free eggs," aka eggs that arrived in liquid form. Aka...NOT. REAL. EGGS. What I needed to do, he told me, and immediately offered to do, was to request "cracked eggs," which apparently is what First Watch now calls actual eggs that, you know, arrive in the kitchen in an actual shell rather than a carton. My scrambled "cracked eggs" were delivered promptly, again piping hot, and this time at least tasted how eggs should taste, since they were in fact now ACTUAL EGGS. However, they had made zero effort to scramble them, resulting in an odd mix of cooked yolk and white. Frankly, although everything else was just fine -- atmosphere, service, other food, etc. -- I was APPALLED that FIRST WATCH, of all restaurants, has decided to save a few bucks by cutting corners like this. This is not Denny's (which no longer appears to be serving anything remotely resembling real food), and even Waffle House uses real eggs that you can watch them crack in the kitchen right in front of you. This is FIRST WATCH, which advertises itself as all things fresh, organic, artisanal, quality, yada yada, and course CHARGES ACCORDINGLY. Frankly, this experience has completely ruined any desire of mine to return to any First Watch, since now apparently I need to be on the lookout for cheap substitutions. I can make better eggs at home for less effort, and my coffee is better too. So long, First Watch. read more

Food was amazing , also our server Kendal was great we had the side of million dollar potatoes and I highly recommend them,it was filling, had variety, and was delicious read more

They're so nice. And they are all working so hard. Would always recommend eating here. Keep in mind coming in on a Sunday there may be a bit of a wait. Be patient, they are working hard to keep up. Bless them with a good tip to keep the moral alive. read more

Always great food and service! Biscuits and gravy are good. Coffee is hot. Get there early because this is a popular place.

This is a nice modern and clean location. The service was very good. The dishes offer a more modern version of classic breakfast. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. Good coffee as well. We were seated immediately and our order was completed in a timely manner. All and all a great place for a good breakfast. read more

I walked into this spot on a whim looking for a brunch place at 1230 that wasn't closed to closing. We were greeted immediately and told there was a 30min wait which was fine for us. Once we sat down after already scrolling the menu I went for the breakfast tacos and seasoned potatoes. I took a chance on the Kale tonic since I'm not really into green drinks and was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious and refreshing. My sister had the purple haze which tasted like it smelled, lavender. Not something I would try again. We ordered a side of monster bacon but there seemed to be an issue with it and it never came out. My daughter ended up getting her hot cocoa free for the inconvenience. Overall the food was great, service was ok. It honestly seemed like all the servers had attitude but it was the end of the day for the restaurant so we just chalked it up to a long day for them. read more

My family was visiting from Georgia. The most important person's order at the table was wrong. She ordered NO CHEESE on her ferttata because she is lactose intolerant. The waiter, Drew, was very attentive, and he wrote NO CHEESE for the order. Apparently, someone in the kitchen can't read, and was very slow (adding insult to injury, as we waited over 30 minutes for all of our food to arrive. I ordered the advacado crab toast, and it was perfect. Not sure what my other guest had but they enjoyed the maple bacon and pancakes and some other type of eggs. The weather was great for outdoor seating and tables seemed to be further apart, which was great. read more

First Watch - Us waiting on breakfast before a funeral. Very nice location. And we loved the outside seating. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

Tasty, nice ambiance, and great service. I enjoyed the pancakes, cornbread, and omelets.

Stopped by for brunch as this location which is conveniently located is near our hotel. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The service was great and the food was good too. I've been to the same franchise in a different state but this place was way better. read more

First Watch is so awesome, food was amazing and we are coming back tomorrow ! The waitress was fast and the food came out in less than 15 minutes :-) the place was super cute and quaint, lovely place to go for breakfast and lunch! So I had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict (absolutely would get it again) the eggs were soft boiled and the egg yolk was perfectly poached and gooey when I broke it! My husband had the Florentine eggs Benedict with an additional smoked ham; he loved it! We had a choice of potatoes and salad so what we did was ask for half and half! The portions were huge, I ended up not being able to finish the roasted potatoes. Anyway, long story short: COME HERE! Hahahaha read more

Our server was great. The establishment needs trained on service/medical alert animals (yes we have all the required paperwork and Doctor's paperwork) wife's food came out cold, could not eat it, unfortunately sometimes you just don't want a new plate done up and sometimes you do, she did not. Wait time to get the food explains perhaps why food was cold. Kitchen manager should tighten their ship up. Price was high for what you get. I would say a two star due to server and atmosphere is not bad, but those done really feed the fat kids like me...Waffle House was probably a better call, but now I know. read more

INCREDIBLE. BEST BREAKFAST EVER. LIFE CHANGING. Felt like first time ever eating breakfast. Do yourself a favor and get the breakfast sandwich and the STRAWBERRY TRES LECHES FRENCH TOAST. The honey caramel coffee is also to die for. read more

Service is not bad. Food is generally good. I've been here many times. I got the Trifecta today. The pancakes are huge. They had a cinnamon pancake special which was delicious. Eggs are regular eggs nothing to write home about and you can get them made how you want. Tried the pork sausage link. It was a average single link of sausage. The chicken sausage patty is ok- has a good spice to it. Coffee is great. That's what I am excited about when I go here. They give you a pitcher of coffee and you make it yourself. Potato's are good. The potato hash is pretty good as well. What was terrible were the grits. I'm a grits fanatic and they were the blandest grits I've ever tasted in my life. Even smothered in cheese, they were horrible. 0/5 stars for these grits. Overall, definitely give this place a try. Just steer clear of the grits. read more

Great customer service. I would go back and eat again. I recommend this restaurant to others.

First visit and very impressed! Decor and mixed seating is inviting. Wood and metal give it a rustic yet industrial vibe. Clean and very busy! Have to say every staff person was on it, moving from tasks to keep things going. Our server I think was the manager as she was doing a few different things but very much on top of it all and so friendly. I opted for the blackberry iced tea - fabulous! The menu has some interesting healthy options for those who want that. A few lunch items too although we opted for breakfast where there are an abundance of choices. I got the smoked ham and gouda omelet and added avocado. It was fabulous! The potatoes are fried with onion and just amazing. Artisan grain bread is served as toast with peach jam. Truly one of the tastiest breakfasts Ive had in a long time. My husband had the Works omelet with cheese grits and loved his too. My mother in law had a very large pancake with blueberry topping and grits, so large she had to bring half home. We will definitely be back! read more

This place is so hit or miss. Yes, they were busy, but you have 3 people seating tables. You need a runner to bring the food and get items requested. If we get our food with waffles, I expect the butter I request to be delivered long before I'm through eating and the waffle gets cold. If you bring coffee, a cup would be nice. This is the 3rd time that service was really lacking. We won't be back again unless our guy waits on us. read more

Lots of tasty options that all come out fresh. A bit pricy but you're paying for the quality

My favorite go to brunch place in Shreveport. Crowded but worth the wait.. fresh juices are always great

This place used to be so good. However, I have been TWICE in the last year. Once sometime in February (with my husband) and then again in October (with my mom) and BOTH times we waited so long we had to ask if we had been forgotten and then continued to wait, where eventually we got up and LEFT! No one came to our table, no one apologized for the wait, no one tried to correct the issue or seemed to care that we left. I understand being busy (which they were not and we sat right away) I also understand being understaffed (also not the case due to server/customer ratio.. again, they weren't busy). So I can honestly say we were ignored or the service is just that poor. I'm ready for another restaurant to take over this location. What a waste. read more

This place is a great place for brunch!!. I have been here a few times and every plate I have ordered has been delicious, even from their healthy menu. One of my favorite dishes is the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and my favorite drink is the Purple Haze. It is a popular place so it can get pretty busy, even then, the longest we have waited for a table has been about 30 min. It is a great place for large groups, and I have even seen people sitting outside with their dogs. Definitely a place to check out with family or friends. read more

Would of given five stars if we didn't have to return an eggs Benedict dish because eggs were cooked hard! Our waiter, Chris, was doing the best he could, under the circumstances. Unfortunately, my taco meal was almost completely eaten before my husband was able to get his correctly cooked eggs Benedict. But we will most certainly return to give this restaurant another try in the future! read more

Errrmeeeegerd! My coworker works here part time and brings up breakfast from here often. It's really good when he brings it but man it's major good when dining in person as well.

Man o man. Fresh, quality food at affordable prices. I have visited First Watch about 4 times here in Shreveport, I do not know why I haven't eaten there more. I have not had a bad experience. Friendly and professional wait staff (in a Pandemic if you can believe it), great atmosphere and really good food. Found out this is the only First Watch location in all of Louisiana, which is insane. This restaurant is only open for breakfast, brunch and lunch. I have had all three. Closes at 2:00pm during the week. (Maybe this is why the wait staff is so friendly) ;) Matt from Bossier City read more

Was a great breakfast. Come hungry but don't be pressed for time. Wait time was a little long but the flavor spoke for the time. I am moving back to the area and will be making this a regular spot. read more
