This was my first visit to First Watch as I was visiting the area. I was very impressed with the short wait for a Saturday morning, the quick service from the wait staff and the even shorter time it took for our food to come. I ordered the breakfast tacos and I ate every bit (which is rare for me). The black beans were well seasoned as was the pico. I was very satisfied when I left and full. It was the perfect serving size to keep me full through my ride back to Chicago. If I ever come across another First Watch in my travels, I will most definitely dine again. And I will share my experience with others so that they can enjoy what I did. read more

Always great! Fantastic food. Great service. One of my favorite restaurants. Whenever we find a First Watch it's a must go.

First Watch is on point again! Freshly cooked waffle and pesto quinoa power bowl...yes mister. Solid way to start your day. I also had a Kale tonic which is a good energy booster as well. read more

Great food! Always fresh and usually not a very long wait. Weekends are understandably a bit slower getting seated but that's normal anywhere you go. The Waffles are probably the best waffle I've ever had! Service is always great! Anne Y. Is an amazing server and has been there for a long time! She really takes time to bond with each and every guest and insures the best service. Highly suggest, the only reason they don't get 5 stars is only due to some of the bad service in the past there. Otherwise just ask for Anne! read more

We had a less than great experience at St Charles location Sunday. My husband ordered Trifecta ,Waffle Bacon and eggs and he was very pleased. I ordered Classic eggs Benidict, with myeggs poached medium. They were served very soft and runny, still cold. I sent them back and explained in my world medium means cooked solid whites with a soft yolk.I am allergic to raw egg white so it's important. The waitress told me medium there is always served loose and runny. I explained again just how I wanted them cooked. Husband was just about finished with his meal when my recooked dish was served exactly as runny as the first ,a soft poached egg with raw egg white. I ended up getting toast and coffee and a major disappointment .Won't go back. Breakfast for 2 with tip now approaching 40 dollars with drinks . I expect a delicious meal served with my other diners. Like I said My husband enjoyed and I was hungry and disappointed all day read more

We love first watch! I always get the traditional with sunny side eggs, pork sausage which is literally the best sausage I've ever had, especially for a chain! Just wish they weren't so pricy! But I guess that's expected in todays economy read more

Our food was immaculate & our server annie was even better! I will definitely be requesting her for my next visit.

Order Breakfast Tacos they were badly placed in container. They gave me breakfast nachos Lol. Also ordered Kale tonic. Well a whole salad in cup. lol The drink was full of kale leaves. Never have had a kale tonic from any other location like it. The ops manager on duty stated he just made it and it takes time for it to marinate and become puree free. lol good one. Fruit bowl was rotten it smelled like it came off the produce truck straight to my bowl. This is terrible seriously. I guess i look like someone that wasn't worth great product and great service who knows. Check your bag before you leave l. This location lacks the ability to maintain consistency. read more

Overall experience was good. I do like the online save your spot in line feature especially for a busy Sunday brunch. All we had to do was show up and check in so the in-person wait was shorter. I ordered the BLT Eggs Benedict and it was a little over cooked so that was disappointing. It made the meal very dry even with the hollandaise sauce. But the presentation was nice. The food didn't take long to come out and our server was great. Too bad my meal wasn't better. My husband got the chickichanga with no onions and it came out with onions so that's unfortunate. Despite our issues, I definitely recommend the purple haze juice though, it's so pretty and refreshing. read more

We are at first watch for three days in a row. Breakfast all three days. All the meals were perfect. The orange juice was so good. The service was fast and very friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to go there for another three days read more

Have you ever had waitstaff that was just phenomenal? That they seemed to know you, know what you like and want? Well, that was my experience with Annie. She was great. The service was superb, the watermelon wakeup beverage she recommended was great, the carnitas quesadilla breakfast was fabulous the day of and for dinner. Annie noticed i was going to need a box and bag before I could ask for one. Her personality was spot on for me. The kitchen was on top of my order lickety-split. The gentleman at the cashier's desk, who is ALWAYS there, is so kind and also has a fabulous personality. Kudos to you!! People make a difference. Hence the reason I'll drive out of my way to visit this location again. read more

I had never heard of this place but a family member recommended it for breakfast. There was a group of us and this place is perfect for that. Tip 1 - use their check in app ahead of time to get your name on the wait list before you arrive, that will save you time. I noticed after the fact that the Yelp mobile app included this ability so take advantage of it. Tip 2 - if you are unfamiliar like I was, check out the menu online beforehand so you have an idea of what you might like to order. There are all kinds of options for how you can do breakfast. From what I understand, this is farm to table venue. While we awaited our turn to be seated, (notification is by text), I noticed they had help yourself brewed coffee out for folks, what a nice move by the venue, thank you, much appreciated. The other move when you get seated is they bring your table it's own coffee pot so no waiting around to get your mug topped off at this place. Our server was friendly and funny, did not catch her name but I did appreciate her style. They got most of the orders correct, there was some confusion on one, they thought it was the sandwich version instead of the breakfast plate version, no worries, they were quick to fix. What worked for me? The million dollar bacon, the cheese grits, and the market veggie sandwich, although the tacos looked good too. I did taste the healthy lemonade drink thing they do and it was good. A solid breakfast option if you have one in your area, it seemed really popular with folks. read more

We were visiting the St. Charles area and my cousin was quite excited to see that First Watch and their farm to table concept had made it to the area. It was a Sunday morning around 10 am and the place was hopping. We had a bout a 20 minute wait. The location is fairly spacious and was packed and noisy. So noisy that the waitress had a hard time hearing us when placing our order. She seemed nice enough, but I thought she was a bit no-nonsense and rushed in the beginning. She did take very good care of our party of five. The was a few kinks in getting our order out correctly, but they were fixed quite quickly and everyone enjoyed their food. I think it's gotten crazy that eating breakfast has gotten as expensive as lunch or dinner. There popular pepper maple bacon costs $5 for three pieces, but it was very tasty. It's nice that this chain is doing so well and I can't wait to see if they make it to the Chicago area. read more

This First Watch location has fallen by the wayside. Poorly managed. The check in process is abysmal. Once you actually get a table, you're either rushed over or forgotten. The food is the only saving grace, but at the cost of everything else. read more

Great food and great staff made for an overall positive experience. The food dishes from the Fall special menu were enjoyed by all who ordered them in our party of 6. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, even on a busy Friday late morning. Went back solo the next afternoon for a late breakfast, omelette was wonderful! read more

Don't skip this one. Excellent service. Excellent food. Tried this gem with my husband and son. It did not disappoint. My kiddo tried the special Cinnamon Toast Crunch cinnamon roll and the maple peppered bacon. He devoured both and has already asked to go back for more of the bacon. My husband and I both stuck to traditional breakfast food and were very happy with it. Our eggs were cooked to perfection exactly as ordered. I love that they leave a carafe of coffee on the table so zero waiting for a top off. We arrived around 9:45am on a Sunday. They had a wait for a private table so we opted for the community table with no wait. By 10:30 the place was absolutely packed with a very long wait so you may want to try to arrive early or expect a wait. Family friendly and very clean. The atmosphere is very inviting, warm and cozy. read more

Busy breakfast crowd today...I was short on time, and their service was quick, efficient, and polite with a smile. Food presentation was terrific and food quality was high. Simple recipe for a happy customer with 20 minutes to grab eggs over easy, ham, toast and fresh fruit. Love the carafe of coffee vs chasing down somebody for a coffee cup refill. Nice touch with a full to-go coffee cup brought to me just before I departed. read more

So now i know where to sneak off to when i want to have an extremely satisfying breakfast. Came in for lunch today, about 1pm. Sat by the window and was promotly greeted with a smiling server who offered me a hot pot of coffee. The menu has an excellent selection of plenty of tasty plates, and the sides are so good i was considering just ordering a la carte. Decided on the BLTE with a side bowl of the Butternut Squash Bisque, and a kale tonic. I am a huge fan of freshly juiced kale n green apples so had to give this version a shot. Right on the money! The bisque could easily be the best tasting bisque I've ever had, and the sandwich was an excellent compliment to the soup. The bread was fresh, and the egg was cooked perfectly. Overall, this may have been one of the best spots I've been to on a lunch break. The server Nate was super sweet and had a ton of helpful advice on what to try as well. The atmosphere is hip, but laid back and since they are a bit set aside from the new theatre and bar strip parking was a synch. Oh! If you end up here on a weekend i suggest downloading their app, it lets you hold a spot in line and gives you a wait time. read more

Great service and Anne and Allison this morning my son and I great breakfast great service. Thank you.!

The only way to get seated is to be super annoying, cut the line, and basically stand on the hostess and take her tablet to seat your own party. read more

If you are looking for a go to breakfast/brunch spot, look no further than First Watch. This place has become one of my favorites rather quickly. The food always tastes incredibly fresh. My go to order is any of the eggs Benedict options, they are all so good! I love the lemon dressing they put on top of the greens that are served with it. I will say the iced coffee leaves much to be desired but if you aren't looking for anything special as far as coffee is concerned, it will be just fine. You will definitely want to check in online before you go because they are always so incredibly busy, it can take a while before you can get a table. I will definitely be coming back on the regular though! read more

Do not ignore the negative reviews. I normally have a very great experience at St . Louis restaurants. This was my first experience at First watch in "Streets of St. Charles" it was very disappointing: I called in while outside- We were told we would wait about a half hour, & would receive a text when a table is ready (placed our name on the list) Noticed several folks come in after, receiving tables prior to us. After 45 minutes, went back inside. We were told folks that came in, went outside and used a "no wait" app, and were able to seat prior to us on the list. There is no information letting you know this is an option. At 50 minutes, We were seated, and placed our order. While waiting another 40 minutes for our order to come, we observed several tables who ---seated & ordered---- after us, receive their meals. We requested to cancel the order. I waited to pay for the drink. My company was very upset, and left. My photo is the time I called, to the time I left. I will not return. It was very unprofessional. read more

I went here for lunch with a friend and the truffle mushroom hash was so delicious. I do wish that it did have a few more types of vegetables in it but the Parmesan cream sauce, the arugula on top, the truffle oil, and the mushrooms was all a great combination and it was delicious and I would definitely eat again they also had a pumpkin donuts which I am not usually a fan of pumpkin and they were not as bad as I thought they were going to be. The ambiance is nice. Very busy and lucky my friend put us on the waitlist. Waiter didn't really bother us but also didn't offer to go boxes, probably because of how busy. They had quite few options for vegetarians and would return back to this location or others. read more

We have eaten at First Watches around the country but this one was by far the busiest. We didn't actually get to eat here but I know their food will not disappoint. This review is to tell you to get on their waitlist ahead of time especially on a weekend. We were 17 groups deep and decided to go elsewhere but we do love this chain. You can get on their waitlist and it will will you an approx time frame. Be sure to check in with the host stand when you arrive though and sign up for text messages. read more

As always, the staff is friendly, and the food is top notch! Cozy atmosphere, and the seasonal menu never disappoints!

We walked in at 2:24 (they close at 2:30) and they kindly sat us down. No attitude for walking in minutes before closing. Ordered the farmer's hash and a lemon ricotta pancake. I ordered my eggs over easy and they were perfect. Potatoes were a little over cooked but I still enjoyed the hash. Pancake was good. Morning meditation drink was very good. Our server was not very friendly...Kaitlyn I think. Everyone else there was very friendly! read more

Wow, love this place. Fresh coffee that is fabulous! Raw sugar and variety of creams for the coffee. I had the Elevated Egg sandwich, the best breakfast sandwich of my life! Fresh brioche, egg (cooked perfectly), bacon crispy and delicious, avocado, greens with light dressing. Serviced with home fried potatoes. I wish I lived here, I'd come all the time so I could try the entire menu! Highly recommend! Pot of yummy coffee, best breakfast of my life all for under $15! WOW Service was amazing, thank you!!!

First Watch should be your first choice for breakfast. I love this place. Although First Watch is a chain, it is not like your typical IHOP or Bob Evans. I'm talking quality food and quality service, without the price tag. I have been multiple times and it has never disappointed. I have gotten a ton of different things off the breakfast menu, but let me tell you about a few of my favorites. The Tri-Athlete Omelet is perfect for you health nuts. It is a three egg white omelet with loads of fresh veggies, severed with a cup of fruit and whole wheat bread. This omelet will not leave you feeling like "ugh I ate so much at brunch and can't move." It is more of a feeling like "I am energized and ready to tackle the day ahead." If you are in the mood for something slightly sweeter I suggest that you try the Rainbow Toast. I am talking berries of every different color on top of sourdough bread covered with cream cheese. Oh baby! The plate is literally beautiful. Overall, I would defiantly recommend First Watch for any occasion, from breakfast with friends to a business brunch meeting. read more
