I had this breakfast place in Miami and wanted to try it again. It was amazing! One of the best french toasts I've ever had. The staff is great and very kind. Ambience is also great. read more

It's usually odd that I feel this good about a place that has pretty bad sausage gravy. It's my out-to-eat breakfast staple, with our without biscuits.. However, everything else was so delightful we did go back for a second visit in the same week. We might even have to go back soon as we whiffed and forgot to upgrade to the million dollar potatoes. If that sausage gravy gets improved, as in pork, butter, to heavy cream , then this place might be unstoppable. read more

Malory was our server, her appearance was cheerful with bacon and egg hair clips, and pancake earrings. I love the trifecta so this effort was definitely noticed and appreciated! Her friendly service and relatability was spot on. This ain't our regular location but we will definitely be back. One thing I disliked greatly was this location seems to have a strange rule that the hosts MUST HOLD THE DOOR OPEN as guest leave and while I think the gesture may seem nice I find it patronizing and demeaning to staff. The cold weather had the poor hostesss freezing and causing a cold draft I. 30 degree weather this morning repeatedly holding the door open for door dashers who took their time leaving. The cold draft was miserable and made breakfast unpleasant every time my back would tense with the cold door being held. I won't ever consider what this must be like in the HOT SWAMP SUMMER. Please whomever made this policy for this location stop it! For this I took a star read more

I have been to other First Watches in Naples and Orlando and was extremely pleased with my food ( quality and quantity) but not this time. Though the quality was good the quantity was not. My egg white omelette supposed to be 3 eggs was very thin doubt it was 3 whites. Service was good place was clean. Ample parking and handicap accessible. CIAO FOR NOW read more

You can never go wrong with First Watch! Their seasonal menu is always changing and never disappoints. I love their selection of juices but my favorite is the turkey sausage gravy and their breakfast potatoes. It can be busy but I never wait long. read more

Came here with lunch with my friends, I ordered something off of the seasonal menu, and then also the blackberry bramble sangria. The sangria was not good, in that it did not taste as if there was any champagne or sugar in the concoction. The weight staff was super nice service was very fast. The ambience is just your typical Sunday brunch dinner with family and friends. We didn't have to wait at all, we showed up around 10 or 11 AM on a Sunday morning. read more

Just 2 of us stopped in for breakfast around 10:30am. He chose the Club Sandwich, I the Smoked Sockeye Eggs Benedict. Quick & Delicious !! Lotsa customers, very nice inside and well played out. Met the manager, Chris, a fine example of leadership and dedication to customers concerns. 5 STARS !!!! read more

Always great service. Alayna was our server. She caught that my order was somewhat wrong. I asked for over easy eggs and the kitchen gave me scrambled. It looked so pretty, I hadn't even noticed. She quickly fixed it for me. This place always gets busy because of the great food they serve. It's so worth it. One of my favorite breakfast spots!! read more

I've been going to First Watch for years, and it never disappoints. The service is always fast and attentive, and the food is consistently so, so yummy. The Farmhouse Skillet Hash has to be my favorite thing on the menu, especially when the potatoes come out extra crispy. Highly recommend for a reliable and delicious breakfast or brunch spot! read more

Did someone say breakfast for the birthday girl? Yes, that's me . . . I took a little time out from preparing for Hurricane Milton to have a little breakfast with my sister's friends. The food and service are always great, and today's visit was no different. We were seated right away, and the waiter was very accommodating and engaged in conversations throughout breakfast. I ordered my usual trifecta for breakfast, but I chose French toast instead of toast or a pancake because it was my birthday. Yay! to another year around the sun!! read more

Started off with the bottomless hot coffee, the spiked lavender tea and spiked pomegranate tea I got scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, artisan wheat bread and potato's, which were a little underdone but still good.

Nice environment. Very friendly. The food is top notch! The chef's can cook! The service is wonderful. Reasonably priced!

The hostess was so friendly and she gave me two compliments but this review is not biased at all, even though I blushed a little. We were seated promptly. Our server was amazing and he was all smiles. I ordered the trifecta (Waffles, sausage, scrambled eggs) and my aunt ordered the hash with ovocados and bacon). First of all my blackberry lemonade was magnificent, chefs kiss and the other highlight of my meal was the blueberry sauce for my waffle (oh my) it was very sweet and sumptuous. My aunt used some to put on her toast instead of asking for jam and she enjoyed it. I'll be back soon first watch. read more

I always have a great experience at this First Watch. It's clean and the service is fast. It's fast enough to get in and out for lunch when you only have an hour. I tend to order the healthier options, I had the turkey omelette this time, but i do love their Floridian French toast. Great service. Highly recommend. There's plenty of parking in the shopping center. read more

Our waitress was the sweetest! So attentive and positive. As usual the food is always fresh and yummy. I hadn't tried this location yet, but I enjoyed the ambiance including the little plaza that it is located in. I ordered the steel cut oatmeal. Everything tasted perfect. Loved the bananas, strawberries, pecans, brown sugar and milk on the side. Their hot grilled blueberry muffin was a special treat. read more

Food 5/5: I ordered one of their specials, which is a Carna Sada, with potatoes and eggs and pickled onions and Shishido peppers. This dish was amazing! The beef was seasoned perfectly and cooked well, the pickled onions gave a great contrast to the heaviness of the dish. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The potatoes were crispy. And the sheet peppers were nice and crisp, and added a nice spice component to the dish. Highly recommend trying the special if they still have it. Service 3/5: hostess were rude. There was no one there, but they were still giving me a little bit of a hard time. The server was ok. She didn't really check up on me. She just dropped off the food and never came back. Atmosphere 5/5: it is a slightly nicer breakfast place. Everything seems clean. You can definitely dress casually. Today was not crowded, but can get really crowded. read more

Went classic with the traditional breakfast and upgraded to their new millionaire potatoes. Potatoes were delicious. The cream sauce that was used was so flavorful and yummy! Bacon came out nice and crispy while the poached eggs were a tad under done. The server was so fun and personable that he made the experience even that much better. read more

First watch is consistently good. Stopped into the one on Fowler in Tampa. It wasn't busy surprisingly, and our party of 7 was seated immediately. The restaurant was clean and lively. Our waitress was super accommodating and none of our substitutions were an issue. I definitely enjoyed the side of blueberry compote on my biscuit. The checks got mixed up a bit but we never mentioned it. On to the next! read more

Food is great and service is great. Price is slightly higher than other places. But definitely worth going back.

So just entering we were greeted. The ladies were extremely nice and welcoming. It was nice and relaxing with cool vibes and nice music. The food was amazing and the family and I were super full. Definitely recommend. Prepare to get full. read more

Aggressively average food and service. Didn't get water until after they came to get our order. Potatoes were uneven: some undercooked and crunchy, many burnt end pieces. I got the biscuit with turkey gravy: the best part were the eggs, which were slightly undercooked (requested over medium), but still good. Biscuit and gravy just tasted salty. Wouldn't come back unless I really have to :( read more

I got the Frittata Rustica for the first time and it is great!! It comes with a side of mixed greens, yum . This was perfect for me since I'm changing the way i eat as part of my healthy changes. The hostess was kind and friendly so was the guy that rang my check. I got my order to go since I'd just done a 4 mile walk. Good thing too it was buzzing today but the setting is always nice regardless. read more

Came here for breakfast I my friend. The place wasn't busy at all so we were able to be seated as soon as we entered. Greeted by a friendly server and orders taken. Food was out in no time and was fresh and delicious as always. Losing a star due to the silverware having hair wrapped around it. As soon as I opened the napkin that it's that wrapped in you could see the brown hair! Grossed out. Asked the waitress for new silverware to which she delivered. This is one of our fav spots to meet as its convenient to our homes and the staff is always friendly and place clean and food good. read more

Very friendly welcoming. The coffee carafe was a nice option but the coffee tasted bitter and the creamer was the tiny flavored creamer cups that are inefficient. I asked for a banana muffin and got blueberry and a cup of fruit that was mostly overripe fruit that I couldn't eat for almost $5. read more

I try to give busy restaurants the benefit of the doubt, but I've been to busy First Watch's many times and never had an issue. We were told 30 minute wait at 10:30am, but it ended up being close to 15-20. Happy girls. I brought a picky 13 year old with me -- she just wanted the Purple Haze juice, a side of potatoes, a side of Million Dollar Bacon, and a side of ham. I'm the more difficult one -- I ordered the power quinoa bowl, minus the cheese, sub the sausage for bacon. It took almost an hour for our food to come to us, and both came out wrong. Hers came as a skillet, the potatoes on bottom with chopped up bacon and ham on top. The bacon was not the Million Dollar Bacon, and all her food was mixed together (not the vibe). Mine came without bacon at all, so our server brought her bacon and me a side of chopped up bacon pieces to add into it. The food was fine. The waiting sucked. I love First Watch, but I've personally had better experiences at other locations. read more

Most of the time the food here is ok. Today I ordered eggs benedict. The poached eggs were not done. The whites were very runny making the eggs uneatable. Also they were almost cold. If you're not going to make poached eggs properly then don't offer them on the menu. read more

I had visited First Watch with a group of five Ambiance and Service Ambiance: First Watch has a cozy and welcoming vibe. Think modern farmhouse with comfy seating, perfect for a group hangout. Service: Even with five people, the service was likely friendly and attentive. You might have waited a bit if it was busy, but the staff there usually makes sure everyone is taken care of. The Elliot Burrito The Elliot Burrito is one of their special items. Flavor: This burrito is packed with deliciousness. It's got fresh veggies, eggs, and chorizo wrapped in a warm tortilla. It's a tasty mix of savory and a little bit of spice. Portion Size: was a lot more bigger than I was expecting. Very good portion for one person to eat or for people who don't eat to match a good option to share Cheesy Grits Flavor: The Cheesy Grits are pretty much what you can expect. Nothing to amazing but tasty nonetheless Portion Size: Just right for a side dish. Overall Experience There's something on the menu for everyone, from classic breakfast stuff to more unique brunch options. All in all, First Watch is a great spot for a group meal. It's got a nice atmosphere, friendly service, and tasty food that everyone can enjoy. read more

Worst restaurant experience ive had in a long time. Sat at our table for 25 minutes without even getting water. Tho it wasn't the waiters fault. Manager took our order and it still took 10 more minutes to get our drinks and it wasn't even busy. She also accused someone at my table of lying about being a first watch employee while trying to get their discount. Then proceeded to incriminate herself by saying her daughter used to use her employee ID number to get discounted food. We're normally very understanding but it was so uncomfortable. This manager needs dealt with or trained better. read more

First rate First Watch! To start, they accommodated our disabled party members. TiShawn was doing double duty serving and bussing yet made our meal an absolute delight.

OMG! Amazing! I going to First Watch and this location did not disappoint. We had graduation at USF today and even though the place was packed, seating was quick. The app for 'call ahead' feature was super helpful. There was a party of 13 ahead of us and we still didn't wait very long for food. Our server was great and came to the table appropriately. The food was fabulous as always! Thank you for making my granddaughters graduation meal a memory! read more

First watch is always a great go to for breakfast or brunch for me! Today I stopped in and decided to order something different by getting the chickichanga instead of my usual farmhouse hash. Listen this meal was delicious! The potatoes are always so good and cooked perfectly with a nice crisp on the outside and hot and soft on the inside. To compliment my meal I ordered the morning meditation fresh juice mix which is AMAZING! I ordered the churros to go but I didn't particularly care for those and that's a new menu item so I'm okay with that miss. The restaurant was very clean and service was on point. Of course I'll be back for my favorite meal of the day! read more

It's a very good place to eat. The service is super. If you like breakfast or brunch this is a nice restaurant to go to. If in the area I will definitely be back. The server was very super kind thoughtful helped out with an adjustment to save a bit of money by bundling the order into a meal. I can't eat eggs directly because they cause gets amount of gas build up causing me great pain. Our server was amazing helping out with a special need. Thank you!!! read more

I love First Watch. The fresh ingredients, the creative meals, and the great service makes First Watch a go to for brunch. I enjoy ordering the kale tonics and trying any new brunch item. I hope that this location bring back the crab cake egg's Benedict! I would recommend this location. I recently had the elevated egg sandwich with the vodka kale tonic! This was amazing. The egg was perfectly cooked and the arugula, avocado, and bacon all on a brioche bun tasted so perfect together. I love kale tonic, so to add the vodka to it was just a game changer for me. Will definitely be returning. This is my go to when I'm looking for a light and inexpensive brunch. There is a wait on the weekends, but they text you when you are next to be seated. I appreciate that they text you, so that you don't have to wait and listen for your name. read more
