Fresh squeezed orange juice and the works omelette, best breakfast in town! The farmer scramble was amazing too. Really liked the toast and jam. Service was fast and friendly, can't wait to visit in the future. read more

Came here after flying in from vacation and had a wonderful experience. Our server was completely attentive and kept our drinks filled which is big for me. The special chorizo burrito was fantastic. This was one of the best experiences at a First Watch ever. Will come here before going to my local one again. read more

So this was my first time visiting this place and I have to say I was not disappointed. Yes the wait is a little long but so worth it! I had the Chikachanda (not sure if spelled right) OMG delish and my friend had the Avacado toast also delish. I wish I could remember our severs name but she was awesome!! read more

The food is always delicious. The service is spotty and takes a while to get food from kitchen. Its still the best place for breakfast in Smyrna! read more

Excellent food, very amicable service from all weight staff and it is always so clean and lovely there! I've even brought my adult grandchildren and they enjoyed it very much and loved food. If I could afford to eat three meals a day there I would! Everything was exemplary in my book! read more

I absolutely love this place. Food is always good! They have great options to choose from. read more

I work third shift so I get off work & come here a few times a week. Today I ordered the exact same thing as always. The honey pecan salad with no avacado (add ranch). I get my food and it's liquid at the bottom of my bowl. I send it back because... yeah...what is that. The waitress comes back and says it's chicken stock they put on the salad for people who don't want dressing. I definitely asked for ranch (as you can see I put it on the salad before I notice the liquid.) I order the exact same thing every visit and now all of a sudden they add broth.. wtf... also my glass was dirty and they have no straws. read more

Nice food good service busy but quick will definitely go back again. Servers helpful and courteous

Food is really good here, would definitely recommend. Service isn't the best, but not a deal breaker.

They NEVER answer their phone. My niece left her cell phone there and we called for over 40 minutes and they never picked up. That's lousy customer service. Just pick up your phone First Watch. It's not that hard. read more

The food is great. Excellent breakfast! Great spot to go if you get in early! Hard to beat for a good meal.

One of my favorites. First Watch is a tad expensive, but for the occasional breakfast it is great. The coffee is good. The specialty morning drinks are delicious and well-balanced. Perhaps my great fault is the change of menu. It is certainly always good, but my favorite was the Pork Belly. It was a short-term special and then it disappeared. Too bad, read more

I love first watch!! The food is delicious and the staff is incredible! Every time I have come to first watch I have always had a pleasant experience. The restaurant has plenty of seating and is super cute! My favorite thing of theirs is the coffee, it's just so good!! read more

Such great food and service every time! And a really nice atmosphere! Love going here for brunch.

Hello I want to share about my wonderful experience with Lindsey as my waitress. She went over and beyond for me! She is SUCH a hard worker and SO kind. She helped me save some money too by helping me order something that would better meet my needs. She also ANTICIPATED my needs before I even asked for anything. Please let the manager know that she is AMAZING and to PLEASE recognize her! She far exceeded my expectations. read more

First Watch has awesome food and awesome customer service! I just wish they were also open for dinner.

My favorite breakfast before or after church spot!! So many choices, and always fresh and nicely prepared. read more

My food arrived cold and my husband's food arrived about 10 mins after mine. It was just ok. I was excited to eat here because of all I'd heard, but we didn't enjoy it. read more

I had a bad experience at this location. A First Watch owner contacted me after my review. They were very polite. I will give them a second chance as we all deserve. read more

First Watch - This was the only salmon I had in my salmon frittata. I asked for additional salmon. I was told it was pre-mixed. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Smyrna, Tennessee

If you are the last person on the planet who is like Hmm what is First Watch, TREAT YOURSELF- the Smyrna First watch servers are SO NICE and willing to share their favorite things, but we've had EVERYTHING ON THE MENU, you cannot go wrong but get the Million Dollar Bacon as an app, you'll be happy! read more

The food was just okay. It seemed like everything on the menu mentioned eggs as part of the meal. I got a club sandwich and it was just bread, Turkey, a bit of avocado. It was a club like I've never had. It also tasted like there were egg whites mixed in on the sandwich with some sauce/mixture. I think this place is supposed to be healthy food but when my daughter looked up the calories of her meal they were really high. I would never go there or order from this place again. read more

This is the only place I go to for breakfast. So yummy and healthy options too! Definitely give it a try!

We love the quality of first watch and most the time the food is prepared just right. Only the last few times we have been in there they seemed to be careless and not very catering. My husband wanted over medium well eggs and not only brought them out with the whites runny once but twice. They said thats their version on them. But whats funny is that i asked for the same thing and my eggs was perfect. So im not sure what they was trying to pull over on us but it wasn't nice, especially when the manager even cane out herself and told us the same thing, that we can either eat or don't basically. read more

Let me just say that in small town Usa (we live here) it can be hard to find restaurant staff who take food allergies seriously- i was treated so respectfully and my food carefully handled by the server named Arath- he was educated and made substitutions on my behalf, food was excellent, service was second to none, really really grateful to be able to enjoy breakfast with my husband and not get sick. Thank you again for such wonderful service. read more

I just found this First Watch and it is fantastic. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel right at home. The food a great and the service is first rate.

Food is always superb. Good environment. The staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Let me start by saying that we live in our motorcoach and travel all the time. We LOVE First Watch and were really excited to find one here. I ordered the avocado toast with scrambled eggs and the millionaire's bacon. My husband ordered the pumpkin pancake breakfast with his eggs over easy. My avocado toast arrived first, followed by the bacon five minutes later and my husband's meal five minutes after that. Really not cool. Now, about the food. My scrambled eggs were grossly overcooked and dry. The avocados on the toast were grayish brown The bacon was very raw and not at all carmelized. When I mentioned this to the server, she did offer to have the eggs recooked and to take back the bacon to be further cooked. We declined this offer. My husband's over easy eggs came out hard fried with no yolk running at all. The server never bothered to return to ask how his meal was so he had no opportunity to complain. The next time we saw the server was when she presented us with the $27 bill. When we mentioned the situation to the manager at the checkout, she did not charge us for the meal. read more

The AM super fruit bowl was delicious. Husband had wonderful blueberry pancakes with Hot syrup. Waitress was great and service was quick.

We have dined at First Watch (both in Smyrna and Murfreesboro) on various occasions over the past few years, and each time has been very good. However, the last visit was not as good was we have come to expect. The service was a little slow, and a couple of the food items (waffle on one plate, toast on another) was not very warm, as if it had been sitting out for a while. Everything else was good. read more

I heard through a local group that a brand new breakfast place had opened today and decided to check it out. When I got there, I realized it was a soft open by invitation only and the grand opening wasn't until Monday. The folks at First Watch were kind enough to accommodate us anyway! We had a short wait, but complimentary coffee in the lobby helped the time pass super quickly for us. Once we sat down we were greeted quickly by a friendly server and told all about the specials. She took our drink orders and came back quickly. My son chose the kid's chocolate chip pancake and I chose the smoked salmon and roasted vegetable frittata. Our food took no time at all and was delivered to us with impeccable presentation. The chocolate chip pancake was enormous, and my son was just thrilled with it. The food tasted as good as it looked- fresh and cooked to perfection. My frittata had a unique flavor with the smoked salmon, roasted tomatoes and onions and cream cheese and chive sauce. I love smoked salmon and this dish did not disappoint! I tasted my son's chocolate chip pancake also, and it very well may be the best pancake I've ever had! First Watch made a great "first" impression, and we will be back with frequency. Welcome to Smyrna! read more

My first First Watch was in Cincinnati a couple of years ago with a group of close to a dozen diners. We had to wait a long time to get seated, and to me, the service that time was extremely slow, though everyone was happy with the food (when it finally arrived). On this visit, the two of us were seated immediately. The wait staff was prompt and friendly. I ordered The Works omelet and was absolutely pleased with my order, including the salad of greens to go with it (definitely not a fan of such a side dish for an omelet, until now!). My sister ordered the Belgian waffle and ate all that she could (and I helped her finish the rest; mighty fine in my opinion). The bill a bit high for me to eat here very often. A solo man came in right behind us... and he was served before we were. After he left, another solo man was seated in the same place... and he was served before we left. Our young waitress apparently likes single young men! :) The waitress and I did have a running joke about how much is too little hot sauce. That was good a for a couple of laughs. read more

Visited one of my friends and she was told this place was a great place for breakfast/brunch. One of the best and healthiest breakfast places I've been to and loved! I got the farmhouse skillet hash which was delicious. My husband got the French toast and split a waffle with my friend who also got the veggie skillet hash. It came with a small thing of fruit and a thick slice of whole grain bread with butter. the blueberry sauce was delicious.... As well as the strawberry sauce. I covered my toast in both. They were good portions and was a place I'd love to have in Memphis and St. Louis. Will look for this place again if I ever come across it. Had seating available outside which we sat at to wait for our table since nobody was sitting outside and it was a nice day. A waitress came out and served us there and was very attentive! read more

The food is great. The staff on the other hand can be very bipolar. In my previous experience I dealt with several terrible experiences. Wait time is expected to 25-40 mins if not reserved. The wait time interval between the server taking my order on drinks and food was nearly 20 minutes. They also continue to parade through the establishment entertaining conversation with those they expected greater tips from. It was a 1hr 40 mins r before I was really served anything. The server in question made several smug faces and under the breath comments. Whilst quickly leaving the table. Around 4 different staff members had to pick up the slack for our original server. In this entire experience neither of our drinks were refreshed although sitting slight edged near the end of the table. As expressed earlier I was unable to ask for refreshments due to the servers ignorance. I had also planned to have my breakfast packaged to go as I had other things to attend. The server in question brought a to go box before the food and left on the table. A statement inferring; "due it yourself". I leave 20-35$ tips on meals as low as 5$. The server question received nothing. read more

I LOVE this place for a quick breakfast or lunch. For some reason, I'm addicted to their iced coffee. I pretty much always get their market skillet and their salads. The menu changes around holidays sometimes to accommodate for the occasion, which makes it fun. The wait can be long sometimes, but definitely helps to get online on your phone and reserve your space in line through the "nowait guest" app (mostly for weekends). Their lunch sandwich/lunch combos are great deals and i haven't been upset with any of their dressings. The bread is also really nice and thick... almost like they make it themselves. Ask kid friendly! read more

Good food but a bit on the pricey side. But the place was very crowded and although good for business, took a little bit to get a table
