Super bummed to learn they don't use butter. Like, at all. I can't get down with an ice cream scoop size of butter flavored plastic on my waffle. You'd think an all American breakfast joint in the south would absolutely embrace butter! But I guess seed oil is cheaper. Giving them two stars because the service was phenomenal. read more

Food was Awesome but the million dollar Bacon not worth $1.62 each. they didnt say Goodbye to me so that made me sad but service was fine. Ambiance pretty great read more

First Watch - Me And my Shoes and my Food - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

The food here is wonderful...when you receive it all in your order. I work nights so I my morning go to for breakfast on the way home is First Watch. However, the past three times that I have ordered ahead on line for pickup, my order has always been short something. First time, the mixed greens were missing from the entree, up next it was the syrup that goes with the Floridian, and today it was the grits with the frittata. I do not know how much longer I can handle only getting a portion of the great flavors (and moneys worth) before I start going across the street to BBB. read more

We came here to eat breakfast before we went home and we liked it. The restaurant is clean and has nice ambiance. Our waitress was friendly and the Christmas decorations were pretty. I got a chocolate chip pancake, fresh seasoned potatoes, and bacon. The bacon was pretty good. The potatoes were tasty and the pancake was good. I do recommend checking this place out. read more

First Watch - Chocolate chip pancake, fresh seasoned potatoes, and bacon. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

The food here is amazing and so is the service but I hate eating in the restaurant itself! It's so loud and when I asked them if they could turn the music down they said it's controlled by corporate? Well corporate needs to turn it down about 8 notches. It's never been a relaxing experience and it's hard to come as a family because it's overstimulating for the littles. The other restaurants don't seem to have this issue. And it's loud fast moving music. Horrible to eat by and gives me indigestion. So stressed when we leave. read more

I have been wanting to try First Watch for a while and am always impressed by the large crowds they bring in. The parking lot is usually packed! We went on a Wednesday morning, so the crowd was not bad and there was no wait. We were seated immediately at a nice two-person booth. The interior is decorated nicely in a farmhouse rustic-style. Our server was friendly and welcoming. As it was our first time visiting, we needed a little longer to look over the lengthy menu. I decided to order the Elevated Egg Sandwich that comes with an over-easy egg, bacon, and cheese. I did not get the additional toppings. I also ordered a water, and we were brought a pitcher of water (in a milk jug). This is always nice for convince! The wait for the food was not long at all. Upon first bite, I was instantly unimpressed. When i picked up my sandwich, the entire egg poured off the sandwich. The egg whites were completely runny and the yolk looked barely cooked. At first glance, one would think the cook merely cracked an egg on the sandwich and placed a bun on top. I was grossed out. For the remainder of brunch, I picked at the soggy bun and bacon. I'm not sure I will ever go back, but if I do return, I'll stick to the pancakes or waffles. read more

Christine was our server and she was very helpful since it was our first time visiting First Watch. The food was delish and the restaurant was nice looking. Staff were helpful. read more

Last week while visiting, I went with buddies to First Watch two consecutive mornings for breakfast grub. Love. First: the service at the counter/bar was so nice and hospitable. Second: the decor is lovely. Modern and rustic. Third: the menu is filled with exceptional items and specials. All sounded so tasty. Fourth & Fifth: I tried 2 items that were fantastic: Chili Chorizo omelet, and the Egg white Turkey omelet. Sixth: (and it's a reason) I need to come back to try the Brooklyn Breakfast Sandwich and the Barbacoa Chilaquiles Bowl. read more

The food was amazing. Eggs runny, sauce lemony, and the potatoes were crispy. Honestly nothing to improve. read more

First Watch - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

We have visited this restaurant a number of times and almost without fail, and we should learn from this; the eggs are never completely cooked, we usually have a long wait, and the food is never hot. today we visited the restaurant and I have to say that the gal seating us and checking us out was not a happy camper. To put it bluntly, she seemed extremely miserable to be at the restaurant today. read more

Always a great experience eating here. Kitchen and dining area is always clean. Food always tastes fresh and served hot. Great service. Their cinnamon pancakes on their seasonal menu were very tasty. read more

Upon arriving we had a 20 minute wait for 2 which passed in about 10 minutes. The food here has never disappointed, the portions are well sized and the service is great! Our waitress Kristina did a phenomenal job and the million dollar bacon was to die for!! The avocado toast was phenomenal as well but I failed to get a photo of it. Definitely recommend stopping by! read more

So, we waited a bit to let the kinks be worked out of this new location - but they are not there yet. Friendly service and cute-as-a-button decor gets 5 stars, but food was so-so. We love First Watch, but this experience was not the best as far as taste. Potatoes were a mix of barely cooked and older potatoes that were charred . We asked for fresh crispy ones and the server brought more that he said "were picked through the ones in the kitchen but wasn't sure if they were much better." They weren't. My breakfast sandwich did not have a lot of flavor. I hope they get into the groove. We will try again sometime, and I hope management will dial into the details of what makes this reputable chain great. read more

We have eaten here 3x since they opened because every time we've eaten here we have had nothing but a terrible experience. The hostess was so rude and mean. read more

This is my second time visiting Nashville. First Watch is such a great place for breakfast, I had to come again. Their food is very good and the restaurant itself is very nice, it has a large open area for seating and the lighting is fairly bright. The service is always good. Everyone has a smile and they are so polite. I Will definitely visit again when I come to Nashville. I had The Works omelette. Ham, turkey and sausage with veggies. So good! I love a good hearty omelette and this one for sure will leave your tummy happy. I also had a taste of the biscuits and gravy, Those were also very delicious. So when in town and you want a good hearty breakfast, come to Fist Watch, your belly will be satisfied and you will definitely walk out content. read more

We are big fans of First Watch, but today was not a good experience. Being that it's Mother's Day, you'd think you'd be super prepared. Waited an hour for a table and another hour for food. Also, no carbonation for drinks??!! The manager came over for us to express our concerns. You'd think he'd have done something after that like a percentage off, but that didn't happen. We will go back, but today was not a good experience. read more

Great food and friendly staff! Love the breakfast tacos and waffles! Bacon is fantastic too!

Tried this spot again today after my poor experience a while ago. Our host was fine, waitress fine, so great. My problem is the food and food prep. My sandwich (BLTE) which I specifically asked to be served toasted, was not served on toast. I ask that our server remedy that. She took it back. It was returned having been put under a broiler(?) The top piece of bread was fairly toasted, almost burnt in spots, but the bottom piece of bread was still raw.- completely untoasted. This was bad, and worse, the bacon or at least 1/2 of it was quite undercooked. I left these in plain view on my plate. I suggest Walmart for a toaster. It's not that hard to make toast. I do it every day. No photos, it was too sad to photograph. read more

Have eaten here multiple times. The food was okay but most of all the hostess was so mean and rude I wanted to leave. Not sure if it has changed since in the last 4 months. Hope so. read more

I don't often give 5 stars, especially to a chain restaurant. But this spot has it going on. They've perfected the perfect "mom and pop" breakfast/lightening in a bottle . The true test was our kids. They loved the food...as did we. And the server was super kind (and patient) with them/us. The only mild downer was the coffee. Can't wait to return to sample more of the menu and enjoy the service again! Maybe I'll have tea next time ; ) read more

I had taken a break from First Watch- Spring Hill for a while because of the previous poor quality of food taste and presentation. After this hiatus, I decided to give First Watch another try and boy, am I impressed with the quality, taste, and presentation. They turned my view around; money well spent today. read more

It's OK...nothing special and customer service isn't the best. If you happen to go after church on a Sunday and they have about an hour to go, they will be super rushed and not too friendly. The food isn't anything special. read more

I try to get to First Watch everytime I travel . I have eaten at first watch in 4 states and it is always great. They were a little under staffed and every table was taken. However, the service was great and so was my food. I do not like the sea salt that comes on top of the almond butter toast so I asked them to remove it and it was perfect. The bowl had more strawberries and banana than I usually get at home, and was awesome. I will probably eat here tomorrow! read more

First Watch - AM superfoods bowl, side of bacon, coffee, and a diet coke, lol - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

I have been wanting to try First Watch for some time now. Probably won't go back but I did like the menu and was hopeful that the food would be good. Now it was my fault not asking to make sure the egg was cooked. If eggs Benedict is in the menu I will always get it as it's my favorite. This was gross. For me egg whites should never be hard runny. These were, sauce was to Lemony which is t there fault just the way they make the sauce. You can tell a lot by a chef in if they serve brown rubber looking avocado. Unfortunately this establishment does. The quinoa power bowl was like soup with so much pesto sauce on top. This we actually returned and asked for dressing on the side. For me personally I know once I saw the eggs and avocado even if they remade it I wouldn't like it cause the sauce again was to lemony so I paid for my meal and now know if I were to go back special cooking instructions. Last complaint I may be weird but I like a glass of water with my food. I like when water is brought to me with my co read more

Delicious food and great service! Definitely a must try! Will be a favorite place of mine!

On November 13 in the morning .the 3 of us and a baby were sat down . nobody paid attention. tell us after seated. We waited 45 minutes and then I got up and left. we told two employees that nobody waited on us and they acted like they didn't care so we went to another restaurant. read more

Ordered to go, it was east and fast food was hot and very yummy even on the go I recommend this spot I ordered breakfast bowl

Great food great service nice people fast easy nice and cool inside probably the best price I found in the last several months So much better than big bad breakfast read more

I don't even know where to begin‍Hostess could careless about helping people. Had an attitude. I love First Watch and their food but at this point i'm like why bother. Turned their online orders off so you have to go in to order if you want take out and it took almost an hour to get my order. That's insane. I understand it's a Sunday and they are busy but having to wait an hour in a small room with other people is INSANE! Yall need to work on efficiency and getting people their order quickly. Don't tell someone it's gonna take 5-6 more mins and in reality it takes 20 more mins. Figure it out. I am surprised yall are even as busy as you are with 3.5 stars anyway!! MIND BLOWING EXPERIENCE read more

We are huge First Watch fans, have given this location probably close to 7 chances and they just miss the mark each time. (We've had problems with the food, services and just overall experience) I haven't written a review before hoping that it could get worked out, however today I tried mentioning to the manager that our food had taken over 45 mins to come out. Our server during our 45 mins, only came over one time and then never again, never I even to let us know they were running behind. So I was excited to just mention this to the manager, she quickly dismissed us and walked away mid conversation. We were shocked. We spend $75-85 because we're family of four, so it's not like they can act like it's Waffle House and we just have to deal with them being busy. read more

First watch is typically a brunch staple, when all else fails. Unfortunately, this specific location is not always on point. Last time we were here, the staff were actively trying to get people to hurry up and leave. The food itself is fine, but the people skills could use some sprucing up. read more

Waitress was attentive and nice. Food was awesome. Great experience!!! We recommend eating here.

I generally really like First Watch but this location didn't live up to the normal quality. I haven't hardly written reviews in years but this one felt it needed to be written. The mugs on the table when we arrived were dirty with dried on coffee. At one point are waiting for her to come back and take our order, the waitress let us know she forgot about us since it wasn't her usual section. The table next to us had had dirty dishes and looked like someone had just eaten, and it hadn't been bussed by the time we left. My friend asked if the Butternut Squash bisque had dairy or gluten as she's allergic. The waitress said it didn't. After we got the soup we saw it looked like it had sour cream and we asked her to double check. She said she thought it didn't have dairy. We asked her to ask the chef. She came back with a manager who told us he thought it didn't have dairy. But none of them seemed sure. The plate that the soup came on had soup spilled all over it and had greasy fingerprints. The bacon was overcooked, barely warm and not the quality (thick and perfectly cooked) I'm used to seeing from First Watch. The soup was lukewarm. The pressed juice was good though! All in all not a great experience with a restaurant that I usually live eating at (in other locations). read more

chunk of hair in food.... 4 of us out to brunch, and one of our friends found a chunk of hair in his eggs. They did take off his dish from our bill but none of us could eat anymore. They just should have said thanks and everything's on us. we did not order anything crazy expensive. really bad management at that unit. I know of the owner from the lakewood ranch FL location, he would be very upset. He build a great organization, and stuff happens. Please make sure he sees this post. He will remember that we chatted in the elevator at Beaver Creek in CO. read more

We have tried this restaurant REPEATEDLY since we love other First Watch locations and this one is less than a mile from our home. The customer service and general attitude of nearly everyone who works here is ABYSMAL. Today's fiasco, we joined the online waitlist which said 20-30 minutes. Given our experience with this location, we came at the 30 minute mark. I checked in with the hostess who proceeded to tell me it would be ANOTHER 30 minutes as "Our online check in doesn't sync with our in person check in. I don't know why". Seriously? Why even have an online waitlist if you aren't going to utilize it? Just take the time to drive up to the McEwen location as you will STILL get in sooner and your service will be 10x better. It's a shame this restaurant can't seem to get it together. read more

First...check in for seating from your phone before you leave the house!! My son loves breakfast food and he'll soon be leaving for college (v.2 thanks to COVID). He asked me to take him for brunch. We snuck away, just the two of us - always a treat. The menu options were nice and I was thrilled to try shrimp & grits (my favorite item most of the time). It was meh. The grits were lumpy and dry. My son ordered several items (not sure where he puts it - skinny & tall) - million $$ bacon - best thing we had; an expensive juice - super yummy; and the tri-fecta breakfast. It was tri-flata the eggs were ordered over medium (which should be in a breakfast place's wheelhouse) and came out looking poached, slimy and over hard. Needless to say, he did not eat them. The service was also meh, we had to ask a different waitress for something because I had not seen my waitress in an extended period of time. I am hopeful that this will be better next time, and I will try again, but it is not promising. I just don't know where all of the hype comes from. Good luck!! read more

Had to check out the hype, this place is always busy. First let's say the service was great (but I did go when they first opened). If you're wanting a brunch beverage (Bloody Mary) you'll need to go after 10am because the do not serve before. So I tried the "traditional" Eggs Benedict. It was fresh and tasty but the ham is not Canadian ham, rather shaved sandwich ham, think I prefer the thicker Canadian on mine. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked. NOTE: The hollandaise was a little too salty, so do not add additional salt. Coffee was hot and they leave a thermos so you don't have to constantly keep looking for a refill- a big plus. OJ did not taste concentrated, tasted fresh. All-in-all a good first try. read more
