Walked into no wait. I was seated in a booth. Atmosphere was casual and calm. it was almost closing time. The omelette came out quickly, the waitress was kind. Everything was on point. Especially since I just a First Watch in Germantown, TN. Good to see the chain uploads the brand. I paid on my phone . read more

This place was amazing, I order one of their omelets and it had to be one of the best I've eaten in a while. The service was on the point and the ambiance of restaurant was cozy and had good views of the nearby buildings. Overall I would come back for a nice and delicious meal. read more

First Watch - Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Food and service here is always decent. Food is GREAT! I enjoy taking my kids here. Very family friendly.

Good breakfast place. True 4/5 stars. Food: - Belgian Waffle: Very blonde, chewy. Center of the waffle cinches when you try to cut it in half. I'm of the opinion that a Belgian waffle should be a deeper brown with a slight crunch, leaving crumbs when you're finished. The maple syrup is quality. - Watermelon Juice: Delicious - not too sweet, but bright and flavorful. - Tres Leches French Toast: Very filling, large portion size. Crumbled gingerbread on top was very nice. Crunchy french toast, not too crunchy. - Avocado toast: Thick layer of avocado, nicely toasted whole grain bread. Over medium egg was well prepared. Good value for the price. Service: Decently quick. Attentive wait staff. Ambiance: Cute farmhouse style decor. We were seated adjacent to the washrooms, so each time the men's room door opened we saw people walking in and out. Music at an appropriate volume, well lit. read more

Tried brunch here a few times and i'll say it gets very busy here over the weekend which may cause service to be a bit slow. Overall, I enjoyed their egg sandwich but the drinks were too sweet or watered down (kale tonic) for my preference. I think their pancakes are very sweet as well. However, location is nice and I like their bar seating by the window. read more

I came here by myself Saturday around 9am for a quick breakfast before heading out of the area. I did join the online queue but given the time I went, they were able to seat me very quickly. The place was around 70% full. Not too loud, tables well spaced apart. The staff here are so very nice! My server knew I was going to be heading out quickly and was so mindful in bringing me the check soon after my food came out. Food wise, I got coffee and they bring you the whole pot which is great! Each table has cream, sugar, and a few condiments. I wanted to try so many things but I opted for the salmon frittata with a side of potatoes. I thought the potatoes were a bit salty for my taste but the frittata was so good! Overall I super recommend this location! read more

The food is usually good but this location can't seem to serve warm food. They seem to be understaffed for as busy as it is.

I'll admit that my partner and I just didn't care to try this spot for a good two years despite living a single block away...how wrong I was! I totally get the hype around First Watch now. For such a busy spot, the service is quite efficient (shout out to our server Taylor who was nice and provided excellent service). For a Friday lunch, it was quite crowded, although we were seated almost immediately. The menu has a few seasonal items but they've got all of the classics with their touch on it, as well as options for each dish (e.g. there are three different types of eggs benedict). I appreciated that they had a well-established juice bar, and ordered the kale juice, which was packed with sweet and tart flavor (I actually even enjoyed it once it diluted a bit). I opted for their smoked salmon eggs benedict and it hit the spot for me; there was the perfect amount of hollandaise sauce and salmon (that is to say, I don't like it too decadent or fishy and this was balanced enough for me). The hint of lemon was the unsung hero. It paired nicely with the simple side salad that also used a lemon vinaigrette. I also ordered a side of their million dollar bacon, and while I wish it were a little crispier, it was still very solid. My partner was less of a fan of his classic eggs benny, but his dish did seem more loaded with the ingredients, so it was perhaps too overwhelming for him. Overall, I'd definitely come back for an easy, efficient brunch with all of the classics and then some. read more

I am here right now. Truly the saddest looking lunch for $13 I have ever had. No diced potato, fruit or slice tomato. Just empty and sad looking. Tasted really bad too. Patties were clearly microwaved from a package. Very rude, sarcastic service as well. Ambiance is nice. They did lower my bill after I said something about, so kudos to that. read more

We only have been once since moving here. But the salads were delicious!! The service was outstanding!! Have to go back

I love a good mimosa and pancakes and I did not leave disappointed! I got the chocolate chip pancakes with a side of potatoes and it was very good! I only have 4 starts because 1. I feel like it's a bit pricey a for what it is and 2. We waited at least 15 minutes before our server came to get our order. I LOVE how they have the pay from your phone option, it's so convenient and nice to be able to use Apple Pay! Also just a heads up with parking, if you don't want to pay be prepared for a bit of a walk. I parked down the road in the neighborhood section but they do have paid parking near the restaurant. I'd come back! read more

Meh, service wasn't the best but the food was great! I didn't realize that a first watch was in CWE, but it was a welcome surprise. Although the service was friendly, the service was sloooooow..... I waited to be greeted at the hostess station to be seated. I waited to be greeted after finally being seated. Then I continued to wait to order my meal and to get my check at the end of the meal. They weren't busy, but possibly short-staffed. The food was good. I'd suggest skipping their specialty mint iced mocha. I've had much better, but they get an A for effort. The lemon ricotta pancake was good, but they were a bit heavy-handed with the lemon custard topping. In spite of all of this, I'd still return, as this is in a great location. read more

Food was amazing and the staff were super friendly. This location is small so be prepared to wait.

Took a walk down to the CWE location for my Birthday lunch with co-workers!!! This place is always busy but got sat right away! There is something for everyone and who doesn't mind Breakfast for Lunch???? I got the Breakfast Tacos which I highly recommend!! So Yummy. The Cheesy Grits were very bland!!! It needed seasoning!!! The co-workers got the Quinoa Bowl and the Sandwich and soup!!! Our server was attentive and helpful. read more

The breakfast tacos are truly amazing! We went here after a couples weekend trip and wanted something unique, local, and one of a kind in entrees and you can find it here. I can't believe it took me this long to discover breakfast tacos, but it's to die for! Highly recommend! (We also sat near the kitchen and heard so much support and praise and fun banter from the entire staff that I can't help but appreciate the environment the staff brings to the place too) see you soon! read more

Came here while on vacation. Walked in on 9am on a Sunday morning, was busy but seated right away. Very extensive menu, even included several healthy options. In particular, the chicken sausage patty, pumpkin pancakes, and homemade preserves were great. Only small negative for me, the coffee was on the lighter side, and they don't have espresso drinks. But otherwise this place was awesome. read more

Must try! One of favorite new places. Great menu options and great taste in everything we tried! Besides wonderful service...

Always a great experience at First Watch! They've got great food and it's consistently yummy. I really enjoyed my breakfast burger and potatoes, the million dollar bacon is my guilty pleasure!! That with a side of avocado toast and egg is the perfect way to start your day! They serve the mimosa with a glass of OJ and mini bottle of champagne so you can decide how much champagne or OJ you want! It's nice Usually they're packed but we got lucky and were able to walk right in! I'd highly recommend joining the waitlist to make sure you're seated quickly read more

I like their Central West End location. Not as busy as some other ones. Same menu, friendly service. Nice window views.

This was without a doubt the best breakfast restaurant i have ever been to, hands down. The coffee and food quality was excellent. Our server was friendly and well trained. The restaurant dining area was better nicely appointed. read more

This became our favorite breakfast place during our visit to St. Louis. We were quickly seated both times we visited, and the wait staff was so friendly! We loved the vibes here, and the menu offers a variety of good food so that you can find something for just about any mood, from a healthy power breakfast to something indulgent. I also loved their kids menu. My son had such a fun time coloring on the menu and the giant chocolate chip pancake was the highlight of the trip for him. Personally, I really enjoyed the lemon ricotta pancakes. The million dollar bacon is also INCREDIBLE. A bit messy to eat, but so worth it. They leave a bottle of water at the table for your party to serve themselves as needed, as well as a carafe of coffee so you don't have to wait for refills. Parking is fairly easy to find. On the weekend, it was really easy to grab a spot within walking distance (and yay for not needing to pay!). Even when we went on a weekday, there was something convenient nearby. The only thing to look out for is that the bathrooms are very much on the small side, so be prepared for that. But as a dining experience, this was unbeatable. read more

I ordered a delicious Turkey avocado burger Sunday that was delicious! Take out service was good and the busy place had a good look and feel to it. Was visiting StL and finally tried something other than the addictively delicious Ricotta pancakes I always had before at a First Watch in VA just outside of DC. Now I have another delicious reason to stop by! read more

Stopped by this restaurant for brunch with my family and I enjoyed it a lot! The food is so fresh and filling. It doesn't feel greasy afterwards. Our waitress was super friendly and accommodating. The interior was very clean and modern. We got some traditional dishes they had including eggs, bacon, huge pancake, and a waffle. Each plate was finished by the end! I will definitely come back! read more

I actually never heard of First Watch until my friend recommended it to me. I love brunch food, so I was excited to try it. There is street parking all around the restaurant. There's a way to reserve a table online, which we did, so we were seated quite quickly. The vibe is very casual and homey. The server was very kind and gave us extra time to look over the massive newspaper-looking menu. I chose the chili chorizo omelet with potatoes ($13), but they had other options such as eggs benedict, sandwiches, pancakes, and many different kinds of drinks. The food came quickly. The eggs were fluffy and seasoned well. It was not browned (aka overcooked), and I love that they put the salsa on the side. The filling was kind of uneven (avocado all on one side), but that is a minor point. The potatoes are a little bit salty but there was still very good. The berry jam with the buttered toast.... was so addicting. I wish I could have more of it! I wonder if they sell the jam in jars. The service was very friendly and fast. Our waiter came in to check on us a couple of times but was not overbearing. They did not rush us out of the restaurant even though we stayed until closing (2:30 PM). If you like brunch foods, I would definitely recommend this place! read more

My grandson orded a pancake. He said the syrup didn't taste right. I tasted it and thought it was pretty odd. We ordered a container or real maple syrup. He didn't like it either. I had shrimp and grits. It seemed to lack flavor. Hot sauce seems to help some. Overall, I was disappointed that we spend so much for breakfast that we didn't really like. read more

Visiting from out of town. Our server, Taylor, was warm, welcoming, and had a lovely personality. Food was SO GOOD - AM Superfoods Breakfast and a Pumpkin Pancake with eggs and potatoes.

I had a lovely breakfast at first watch! Our server was very friendly and got us started with coffee right when we sat down. The restaurant was spacious and they were able to open up a large window to let fresh air in since the weather was nice. The decor was simple and cohesive. Our table was very clean! I ordered the turkey sausage gravy & biscuits which came with eggs and seasoned potatoes. My meal was delicious! Everything was well-seasoned and tasty. I ordered overhard eggs which were cooked perfectly! I went with friends to catch up and our waitress did not rush us out the door when we were done eating. We eventually took our tickets to the front counter to pay. We had a lovely experience at First Watch! read more

I would not recommend this place for breakfast. Their grits should've been called soup, it was so watery. The bacon looked like they fried it for ten seconds on each side. My wife ordered whole wheat pancakes that weren't cooked all the way. Never again read more

Breakfast was amazing waitress was awesome on time hot in order it was a perfect breakfast

Got a spot to wait in line online which was nice. Parking was easy but it was also a Sunday so it was free. Food was fast and hot. This chilaquiles dish was on point.

This restaurant is everything you want out of a local breakfast place. Great service (thanks Angela) clean and comfortable booths. The food is delish. I had the Bacado omelette (basically Avo, bacon & cheese) served with a delicious lightly dressed salad. I might recommend a Smokey salsa rather than pick de Gallo but it's all good. My Husband had the Chickidichanga (more like a wet burrito) was so yummy. Smothered in a lemony hollandaise & sour cream served with crispy home fried potatoes. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE DOUGHNUTS. Disposable little fluffs of goodness. So good we took the remaining home. read more

First of all, the customer service was excellent and you can tell they truly care. They were very accommodating of my dietary restrictions. The food was excellent as well.
