Pretty great overall. The food and customer service is great, and very convenient location!

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!!! See the steam off my yummy coffee! read more

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

First Watch - I asked twice for my meat to be Well-Done - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Charles, Missouri

I have loved First Watch for a long time but this store stood out among the rest. Our server Cassandra took such great care of us, she was competent and personable and we had an amazing time. This was my first time using the electronic checkout system. I have to say I miss handwriting my tip. I wanted to go above and beyond to say thank you to our server by giving her a $10 tip but I accidentally gave her a $1 tip. I must have missed a zero then opted out of getting a paper receipt, so I didn't catch it until my transaction came through my bank account! I called in to the manager and while I wasn't able to change my transaction they assured me they would reward her and the best thing I could do was pay it forward in a glowing review! So if you're in the area, ask for Cassandra, she'll give you amazing service, and don't forget to double check your receipt! read more

Hungry for morning java and a bite to eat in St. Charles? Look no further than First Watch in the Streets of St. Charles. Breakfast here is a bit more trendy and tastier than a local greasy spoon breakfast joint. Their signature bacon with brown sugar, black pepper and cayenne pepper drizzled with maple syrup is outstanding. Pair this with Avocado Toast, which is fresh Avacado with lemon on whole wheat toast. This is amazingly good. The Frittata Rustica is a healthy omelette with kale, mushrooms and light cheese. Get the lemon ricotta pancakes to harness your carbs craving. This consisted of fresh whipped ricotta cheese added to a multigrain batter which resulted in a very light fluffy pancake. This was very refreshing and almost dessert like. Overall a super place to start your day. read more

Had a business breakfast planned with my employee on Thursday morning. Not incredibly busy because we were seated right away. It was over 30 minutes before anyone even acknowledged our table. The server said he thought we were just sitting there with our computers and he didn't need to help us, or something like that. We finally grabbed his attention when he tried to get the order for the table next to ours that were just seated. He took our order which included your million dollar bacon. I actually suggested having our meeting here just to get the million dollar bacon. It was sooo disappointing. It literally was regular bacon with cold syrup poured over it.... Not what I got at my last visit at your restaurant in KC. Then when our food was delivered my employee ordered eggs Benidict and the food runner lost the egg on the floor, partially on my foot, and did not seem to even notice until we pointed it out. She sat down his meat, sans the egg for him to eat and then brought out another pouched egg about 10 mins later. I ordered the bacon and a side of biscuits and gravy which were stone cold. I fully expected a visit from a manager to ask how our meal was but that didn't happen. We did mention the debacle to the hostess who we we're paying and she apologized and gave us a gift card to get $20 if you spend $20 but brought over no manager either. I guess I should've mentioned I was a Karen and I like that sort of care, but it was a little late at that point. Our server, who continued to not impress us the rest of his time came up to try to help collect our money while we waited for the concession the hostess was bringing. I said we were just waiting and asked if he was new to this restaurant and he did no.... He had been there for two years. I just thought wow.... Good stuff! I don't think either of us will be cashing in the concession she gave us. read more

It was a really busy Sunday morning but the service was great! The food all arrived as expected and our waiter checked on us several times.

Went the Mid Rivers location with my Dad who recently past, and he couldn't say enough of how great First Watch did breakfast. We tried the new one in the Streets of St Charles area on Beale St., and it is a great presentation. Quality accommodations and perfect food choices. Had slight mixup with my wife's gluten free toast but First Watch fixed it immediately and I think the entire management team came by and checked on her. They were nice enough to comp her meal, and you can tell they take customer needs seriously. Great breakfast today. I'd salute our waitress, but they don't do tags and operate on team concept. Great job, First Watch! read more

Party of two. Waited for a text message that never came. We sat in the car because it was full in the waiting area. We saw other team members that came in after us get seated and still no text. Came inside and someone who just walked in was being told they could seat them so I told hostess uh we've been waiting for a text and other members from our team who came after were already seated ahead of us. She says let me see if we have a table. Finally seated but now still waiting just to get water. Took forever for the meal. Terrible service & a mediocre meal! We are from out of state so we don't know the area. But would never come to this location again. read more

First time visiting on a Saturday morning and was packed. Used the waitlist on the yelp app which helped make use of our wait til our table was ready. Menu has several traditional selections and well as an extensive healthy menu. Portions were great and can't beat prices. Service definitely made the experience one that we'll definitely be back. read more

Went to get a drink called Purple Haze. Door was locked it was 3:40pm. Manager came to the door and asked what she could get me. I told her and she let me in. Unknowingly to me the restaurant was closed. She promptly made me the drink and rang me up. I felt so bad because I had no idea they were closed. The Manager was amazing and gave great customer service. Best drink I have had btw. First time ever at this restaurant. Became a customer for life after this experience. Keep up the great work! read more

I'm always looking for a nice clean place to eat that has great food, this place was beyond my expectations.. So I found this place on yep and the reviews was amazing... My wife and I check it out for breakfast and the food was unlike any place we've been to. It was excellent!!!! Everything was made fresh, I mean everything... Everyone was extremely nice and professional, I'll server Michael was awesome!!! I will definitely return and I highly recommend everyone check this place out. read more

Horrible customer service! Their automated cue system is a travesty. Walk up in person and am told 20 to 30 min. Fine accept the wait. After waiting 50 min am told online customers who show up bump you or cut in front of you. I wouldn't eat here if it was free. Never coming back. Zero stars read more

We ate at First Watch on Beale St on 9/30/23 and we had the French toast with sausage and chile chorizo omelet. Both excellent! I got the caramel iced coffee, and our sever Annie made it look better than the marketing pictures!! She was an amazing server and we enjoyed her so much! Will be back next time we visit the area! read more

We are in town and decided to try this place out from the Yelp reviews. We got the millon dollar bacon it was delicious! I would eat an entire plate by myself. We got the avocado toast and biscuits and gravy. The avocado toast was light and really creamy. The coffee was very good and the water came in cute little canisters. Overall, very good. The only downfall to this place is the line. It is very busy. We got on the waitlist on Yelp and still ended up waiting 20 minutes on top of the 30 minutes the Yelp app told us to arrive. read more

We are driving through St. Louis (all the way from Arizona!) and had an amazing experience with Annie as our server. It's not only apparent she loves what she does, but she is so warm and welcoming and just overall we had a great experience with her! She was very detailed with our order and also recommended something new that I hadn't had on the menu, which I loved. Thanks again, Annie! -Friends from Arizona read more

I like dining at First Watch cafes because there are some good healthy alternatives. They serve unique flavorful breakfast items, but they also make a great turkey burger. The food can be a little on the high fat side (if you're a macro counter!), but you can generally make substitutions to accommodate any diet. The lemon vinaigrette that they use on the side salad is heavenly. Light and not too sour. Also, their coffee is fantastic. This location was easy to access from the highway. They had plenty of open seats and we were served promptly. I'm a fan! read more

I love this restaurant. I have been to two locations. The waitress Paige was so friendly and helpful at the St. Charles location. We came with a large party and she took care of each and everyone with enthusiasm, attention to detail and oozing with friendliness. Thank you Paige for taking care of me and my family. read more

Good food, great service, pick up takes about 20-30 minutes longer than they estimate. Always get a juice- so good!

Food is always great. Love their menu. It changes with the seasons and the men's selections are healthy

We had Paige as our server on Saturday and wow was she great. So funny and on top of everything, one of the best servers I've had in a very long time! Make sure to ask to sit in her section and get the million dollar bacon. The food is always great but I wanted to highlight the outstanding service! read more

I like the variety of choices. We've gone several times. Nice that you can join the line before arriving.

Came in on a Friday afternoon just before lunch and our large party of 8 was seated immediately. The selection was everything your brunch loving heart could want. Out food came out incredibly fast and it was all hot and delicious. Everyone in our group agreed! read more

I cannot wait to come back next week! Everything tasted just as good as it looked. I ordered the Floridian French Toast, turkey sausage and cheese eggs. It was boooooooooooomb! The French toast was covered with fresh banana, kiwi and strawberries. The service was good but not spectacular enough for me to remember. I had a good time with my friend and her food was good too. Of course I had some. read more

This place is always consistently good across the brand for me. The turkey egg white omelette and the avocado toast are great items! The OJ is always fresh. The service is always friendly and quick. This location has a nice patio if it's not too windy. Definitely recommend if you're looking for quick and casual but quality. read more

This is definitely the worst First Watch. Terrible waiting area, closely placed tables and terrible food and service. Just go to the Cracker Barrel or Ginghams down the street for breakfast and avoid this place. read more

First watch is one of my favorite places to eat breakfast..anytime I want a healthier breakfast without sacrificing taste I come here.

First Watch generally has great food. However, their wait times are always off. This is the third time that I've checked in on waitlist and told it was a 15-20 minute wait. But here it is an hour later and we are still waiting. If you're in a hurry, this probably isn't the place for you. Just be honest about wait times, that's all. read more

Awesome service and food is always delicious! Love this place. I would highly recommend it

I love First Watch!! Their menu has so many delicious items on it! I also like to see what their specials are for the day or the week when I drop in for lunch or breakfast!! read more

Our first visit to First Watch restaurant. We used the wait list on the yelp app & while still at the casino. We headed there & our wait time was maybe only 5 mins if that! I ordered the farmhouse hash With my eggs ordered over easy & it was excellent. Hubby ordered the Belgium waffle, eggs & sausage. He said it was good. It was a very busy Sunday morning around 10:30am when we got there. Our food did take a little bit, but that's to be expected with as packed as they were. There was still a lg amount of people waiting when we left. read more

First Watch - Farmhouse hash with eggs over easy, toast & fresh fruit. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Charles, Missouri

Waited 1 hour and 20 minutes before food arrived. First red flag was it took 20 minutes for coffee to come out. I will never return. Manage wouldn't speak to us. When our food came out, half of our food was missing and it took them 3 tries to get it all out to us. Worst experience ever. read more

Looking for a good bfast/brunch/lunch spot in the new St. Charles area? Look no further. First Watch is a great place to enjoy hearty (and many healthy) meals before 3:00p. Their breakfast options are plentiful and full of flavor. I recently ordered the Belgium waffle with 2 eggs scrambled and turkey sausage. Everything was excellent. The waffle was fluffy, hot, and tasted delicious. Eggs were cooked perfectly and turkey sausage (links) were also very good. I left feeling full but not gross. I've also tried the chicken salad on a previous visit and it was also excellent. Served open faced on a slice of freshly toasted grain bread the chicken salad was fresh, filled with apples (crunch) and other delights. I would recommend for lunch goers. Millionaires bacon is really tasty but sweet as candy. It's almost a candy-coated bacon with a little bit of spicy heat added. I was the only one at my table who enjoyed that dish. And $5 for 4 slices of bacon is a little silly. Interior is sort of industrial farm feel? I don't know, who cares. Both times I've visited, the place was pretty busy but our parties were seated quickly. Service is a little slow, but not enough to ruin the experience. When you're in the area and have a hankering for fresh breakfast or lunch I'd tell ya to check out First Watch. read more
