We always visit this location. Service, food and atmosphere is always top notch. Those potatoes are like lil pieces of heaven. Accidentally ended up at the location on sunshine, and left terribly disappointed. The National location has set the bar so high that I would rather skip a meal than end up on sunshine again. National: Kiss your cooks! They are amazing! I appreciate the love you put into your meals. Absolutely delicious. Servers at both locations are awesome too. read more

The food here is great! As was the service and ambiance. The waitress was great and very polite

If youre looking for a gem in Springfield, especially for breakfast, check this place out. Their turkey biscuits and gravy are my favorite. My boyfriend is loving the breakfast tacos. And their seasonal menu is amazing. The food is hot. The staff are friendly and attentive. Their coffee in good. Their juices are refreshing. And for two people, you can easily keep it under 40$ if you're just looking for some good food that can fill you up. The location can be a headache to get into, but once you're inside, you forget about all the traffic you had to fight to find some parking. [During peak hours.] read more

Amazing food & service!! Definitely a go-to breakfast place. I ordered a protein bowl and it filled me up perfectly. They also have some of the best restaurant coffee I've had in a while!! read more

This restaurant is great!! The service was fast and friendly. I have so many food allergies that it is really difficult to eat out, but this place had so many opinions for oils, gluten-free bread, etc. that I was able to eat a real meal. The food was made from fresh ingredients and was very good. Kudos to the owner/owners. read more

This was the worst first watch experience I've ever had, I've been to a few now and in general this was the worst breakfast I've had. Paid $40 for cold eggs, a cold waffle and cold microwave bacon and our server never refilled our drink or checked on us until he brought our bill 30 minutes in. Lowest tip I've left in a while and if I was a bad person it would be 0 read more

Great recipes and fun breakfasts and Brunches. The recipes are excellent and if in the mood for a Bloody Mary or Bellini they have that too!!! read more

The food was overpriced and quality was not there. Service was poor. If I am paying that much for food I should not be standing in a line like McDonalds. The order was wrong when we got to our table I tried to get someone to come help and they said no you have to take your order back up to the counter. I would not recommend this place and I will not return. read more

Hands down one of my favorite breakfast places. Really good customer service. You can tell the entire staff is well trained because they all were on point. Very good food and nice variety. read more

Great staff. Nice environment the cinnamon toast drink was amazing!! Must try million dollar bacon. Must stop location ! read more

We checked in online and still had to wait. Plus 45 minutes after we ordered... still no food. read more

The food is fine and the menu is trendy/ progressive, but as a single diner I get isolated to the far corners or near the toilets. This isn't a Covid response as First Watch was discriminating against singletons long before social distancing was a mantra. It's a little pricey but still a nice breakfast. But bring a companion so that you aren't forgotten by the wait staff. read more

First watch has wonderful and a great atmosphere. I have enjoyed a few very yummy breakfasts here and hope to go back soon.

The food was under cooked I ordered bacon and eggs and the eggs did not taste good also bad costermer service I do not recommended this place if you are going to eat there if I were you I would eat at burger king read more

This is my favorite breakfast place! There's nothing in their menu that I haven't liked Annie was great! read more

Bayli ROCKS XD!! such good service and food she needs a raise :) my favorite breakfast spot

We are new to Missouri been here less than a year from California we love to eat out but rather picky about what we consume Fresh Ingredients are important to us but want it to taste good as well This place checks all the boxes we absolutely loved it the food was excellent and delicious and we will definitely be back very soon read more

The ambience is beautiful in the restaurant. Michael, our server, was friendly and prompt. I ordered the Chickichanga and it was delicious! Highly recommend. read more

In short, I would say First Watch is "franchise meets local". After living in a larger metropolitan area and coming to visit Springfield, I was pleasantly surprised that First Watch exceeded my expectations. The restaurant has a well-designed atmosphere with a menu that reflects very reasonable prices. I would suggest the Tri-Fecta which allows you a meat choice, egg choice, and pancake choice. The lemon-ricotta pancakes are a must try, but I snuck a bite of the blueberry pancakes and without a doubt they were just as tasty. The coffee here is excellent too! And they leave the pot and flavored creamers out on the table, just like it should be everywhere. read more

There are several breakfast places in town and this has earned its spot near the top. Every time we drive by it's packed, and for good reason, they serve some tasty food. I got the eggs Benedict with a side of biscuits and chicken gravy. The Eggs Benedict was delicious. The base was a nice, dense break lightly toasted. Next were the fresh tomato and spinach, topped with a perfectly cooked egg and a wonderful hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise wasn't too rich and was well balanced. As to the biscuits and gravy. As a boy from the Midwest this is a staple, that simply wasn't up to par. I only ate part of one biscuit before calling it quits. The chicken gravy was soupy and a little bland. Biscuits and gravy is weighted pretty heavily in my breakfast standards. However, our server noticed the abandoned biscuits and asked if we liked them? We gave him an honest answer stating it was very different and not what we expected in the traditional dish. He apologized for not explaining the unique style and immediately removed it from the bill. Great food and even better service will have us back another day! read more

We frequent many First Watch locations across the US, but this one here in our home town is our favorite. The service is excellent, especially our favorite waitress, Annie. She always remembers our dietary restrictions and preferences and makes sure that our order is prepared with care. We love the options of chicken or turkey sausage, as our family does not eat pork. The turkey sausage biscuits and gravy are so tasty and hard to find. Thank you, First Watch! read more

Absolutely love this place. It's usually pretty busy so the wait is pretty consistently 30 minutes for both seating and food arriving at the table. The staff is always very kind and attentive and the food is delicious. I come here quite regularly and have tried almost everything and never been disappointed! read more

Delicious, hip place with a fantastic menu to choose from. Coffee is delicious as well. We love this location!

This is a great way to start your day make your tummy happy! The selection and quality of food is top shelf awesomeness. Try downloading the app if you plan in going on a Fri-Sun, you can check if there is a wait or get in line. Staff is already and friendly. read more

i come here every Saturday for brunch and always have great service, no matter how busy they are. Madison does fantastic and we ask for her every time we are in. 10/10 best breakfast spot we've been to read more

This location is my favorite in town for First Watch. Food is always up to standard and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The Shrimp and Grits are my fave right now, this will change with the next menu but I love their creations along with their regular menu items. Never eaten anything here I didn't enjoy thoroughly. Anne is a great waitress and made sure we had everything we needed, as we wanted. Thank you for coming in and working so we may come in and patronage your facility. read more

If you hired a team of psychics to extract my idea of the perfect breakfast directly from my brain and turn it into a restaurant, First Watch would be the end result. There are tons of healthy options, the ingredients are as fresh as they come and the carafe of coffee they place on your table as soon as you arrive is fantastic. After sampling a variety of their more traditional breakfasts as well as some of the more esoteric options (do not fear the quinoa power bowl - it's delightful), I can attest that they truly do offer something for everyone. Given these facts, you'd expect the prices to be astronomical, but the cost averages $10 a plate, and what you get in return rivals the best breakfasts Springfield has to offer. One warning: if you're arriving first thing in the morning, prepare to wait in line. This seems to be a function of the restaurant's newcomer status moreso than any failings of the staff, so I didn't remove a star for it, but there's no denying it's a factor. My recommendation is to adopt a Ricky Bobby mentality (if you ain't first, you're last) and get there before they open. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Just tried First Watch (3rd day they've been open) on the corner of National and Battlefield (former Shoneys) and it was great! My mom and I are both vegetarians. I ordered the pumpkin pancake breakfast and our waitress was very nice and substituted the potatoes for sausage at no extra cost. The pancake was huge and tasted like real pumpkin My mom ordered the veggie burger (which they make themselves) and butternut squash soup (not made with chicken broth). She enjoy both of them. The decor is cute and trendy. Lots of wood and farmhouse chic style. Service was quick considering how many tables were occupied read more

I love the food served here because it's fresh, prepared well, tastes great and worth the price. The service has been trained well and professionally delivers. Breakfast is my favorite and they do it well! read more

This place is wonderful!! Between the food, the service, and the atmosphere, I have to eat at one if close! Today, Annie took great care of me while I sat and worked! And of course, the food was divine! Do yourself a favor and have the best breakfast/lunch in Springfield! read more

I really like their breakfast over there! It is very delisious especially the bacon! Their special bacon was so special that you definitely have to try it. Besides, if you are a hot chocolate lover, be sure to grab their hot chocolate. It is one of the best hot chocolate. read more

Tried this place out and it was awesome. The morning meditation and kale tonic were amazing juices. Very refreshing. So many good food choices. The veggie patty is vegan bit they couldn't confirm if the bun was. The biscuit was super fluffy. The turkey gravy was good. Not too thick. Use the app if you go during the busy times and you can save your spot in line. read more

Great food and service! I enjoyed the roast beef sandwich. My mom got the turkey club and loved it!

Great service and a good atmosphere. Logan was an excellent server. Great Relaxed Energy. Will definitely come back.

Good food at a decent price. First watch always has something to offer that you'll enjoy. The coffee is good, their seasonal choices are yummy and the staff is always helpful. While this particular location isn't my favorite, it was still a good meal that my family and I were able to walk away from with smiles on our faces. The pumpkin donut holes were a hit with my son, and I have to say they were quite tasty. Whenever we travel, we look for this restaurant because we know our appetites will be satisfied and our wallets won't be empty. read more

Always a great experience when I come in!! The biscuits and gravy are a favorite since I can't enjoy normally with sausage! With the Cholula on the table means I never have to bother anyone for hot sauce! Christine was a great waitress and always love being able to come in and see the faces of the other waiters we've had in the past as it really speaks to the way they are treated and type of environment they cultivate! Dewan has always been a great face!! read more

Food was good but price was not acceptable Service was excellent as there seemed to be more servers that customers I would eat here again but know prices were high for breakfast meal read more

Food was great, service is quick! Annie was very efficient and had good recommendations for brunch, definitely recommend!

Always Great food and great service from Camille. We stop here a lot and it is all good.

Everything was exactly as we'd hoped. Came in for my girlfriends birthday. Food was delicious and Ally was wonderful!
