    Quesabirria Hash

    First time at this location came in to grab a bite before Gasparilla great view ambience and customer service were positive and warm. Whether you're coming in for coffee drinks, breakfast lunch or healthy there's something for everyone.

    Great service. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great location for downtown visitors. Reasonable price.

    The door - oh boy

    Let me tell y'all something!!!!!! Soooooooo good! It was simple, cute, friendly, fast, and accurate -- everything you want in a spot. Food? Perfect. I literally wanted to come back the very next day. I ordered the breakfast enchiladas, fruit, and coffee. Big brownie points because their fruit salad didn't just have melon (I'm allergic). The food was so good I totally forgot to take pictures -- I just dug right in! I also had the Watermelon Sunrise. Not my favorite flavor, but hey... it got drank.

    First Watch is usually a fairly reliable chain and I love how large and accommodating their menu is! I came here for brunch with some friends on a Sunday morning. We put our names down and walked around the area to get coffee while we waited. This location is pretty big and spacious but it was busy!! Once we were seated, we ordered our food. I got the Farmhouse hash. The food was delicious and it was a good portion and very light! Unfortunately, our waitress seemed to disappear once we received our food. One of our party had to get up to find someone to check us out once we finished because our waitress seemingly ended her shift or just forgot about our table and never checked on us! Weird ending to an otherwise good brunch.

    Finally got to eat at a First Watch. Went with a couple of friends who have one near them. Sounds like the decor here is very different, though both are quaint. I loved the industrial mixer whisks they use for some of the pendant lights. Food was delicious. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. Had been debating those, banana granola crunch pancakes, or carrot cake pancakes. These were delicious - they had a little bit of a crispy edge (my favorite) and were soft and fluffy inside. I loved that they served them with a warmed syrup. The million dollar bacon was amazing. Just the right balance of sweet and heat. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. Our plates were all clean at the end of the meal. Service was excellent.

    I came during lunch during the work week with a large group and they were able to accommodate all of us. Our server was amazing, super attentive and funny. For lunch I had the half and half with a salad and soup. I love being able to try both and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of food for the price. I loved the honey pecan salad!

    Power wrap, sans turkey  and swapped fruit for grits. Delicious!

    Excellent coffee and breakfast! Friendly staff, nice bathrooms, good vibe. Coffee was so good I bought a bag of it. Went solo and was not awkward :-)

    Chorizo Tacos!!!

    We like First Watch a lot but this experience was not great. My son and I went during lunch time but it was closer to 1pm. It did look like the kitchen was behind orders because while the dining room had customers, it was not super packed. There were some people waiting to be seated and some people had carry out orders but again, it wasn't super packed. So as you can tell due to this tone of this review, the service was not great. We decided to sit at the community table and we waited, waited and got served. Then we waited, waited and waited to get our food - probably a good 15-20 minutes for kids eggs and chorizo breakfast tacos (which are always good - nice balance of chorizo and eggs) and the coffee was good!!!!!! Thank goodness we got a coloring menu so my son can be occupied. Parking is limited but it's available. We'll just chalk it up to an off day.

    Half Monterey Club / Half Cobb Salad
    Clay T.

    This place has a healthy food vibe. The service was very good. But what really caught my attention was how fresh all of our food was. I got the half Monterey Club / Half Cobb Salad. It was delicious.

    The Italian Stallion

    Tried the Italian Stallion breakfast sandwich which was outstanding! Great protein and so tasty with Polidori sausage. Literally the only sausage I will eat! Great way to start my day! #polidorisausage #firstwatch

    Stopped by around 9:15 on Wednesday for a quick breakfast before work. Very clean and lots of tables open. Our waitress was nice. She didn't anticipate our needs but did fulfill any requests we made such as extra napkins and refills. The Purple Haze was so tasty. My power wrap was good despite the egg whites looking a bit burnt. It didn't weigh me down and gave me the boost I needed to hit the road.

    Turkey gravy &' biscuits. 2 sides.

    This is such a gem in tampa Florida. First watch is just overall a great vibeeee!!! Service this Sunday was a little busier joined the waitlist and never got off it ended up enjoying a seat at their community table. Service was so peaceful my server deserves all the praise she was patient, kind & honest. I decided to try the "cereal milk" it is made with my favorite drank (; it was delicious after two smooth cinnamon rich drinks I didn't need another. Service was fast and food came out about 18 minutes after ordering. Great ambiance and presentation. Luv it here.

The restaurant was very clean and had such a cozy, welcoming vibe, making it the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a great breakfast. I ordered the Lumberjack, and everything came out great. The eggs were cooked perfectly and placed on top of the mashed potatoes--not cooked together--but honestly, it still worked really well and tasted amazing. One thing I really liked is that you can sub the biscuit for French toast or pancakes. I chose the French toast, but the Lumberjack is so much food that it was honestly hard to even get to it . Everything was delicious, and I'd give this place a 10 out of 10--I'll definitely be back. Shoutout to our waitress Sienna, who was absolutely amazing. She was super friendly, recommended a bunch of great options, and made deciding easy. She checked on us often and even brought out a new syrup they make for us to try, which was so good. This place will definitely be seeing more of me!

Patty's are also frozen from a box and a traditional smash burger is paper thin- not 1/2 thick. And it was not fresh- definitely a frozen patty. Fries were not crispy. $50.00 bill for boxed freezer burn food. Save your money - go somewhere else!

A full service bar and restaurant on one side and a lounge type atmosphere on the other side with a live DJ. They play a variety of rnb and hip hop from old school to modern day. I really had a nice time. The reason only 4 stars was due to the host not being actively present at the reception area when you walk in. He was too busy on the lounge side dropping it like it was hot and helping the bottle girls "hold" the sign. We stood at the host stand upon entry for a while until someone went to get him from the other side. The food was just "ok". For the price of the food I expected more. I had the lemon pepper honey wings and the chicken and French toast. The wings were not cooked through and served in a bowl which made it very difficult to eat. It came with 2 cornbread muffins that were dense and very dry. The French toast was great. I opted for the one with peaches and icing. It was great. It was served with chicken tenders. Again, in a bowl, which made it very difficult to cut, as I had to dig in the bowl. They were ok, a little on the dry side, the breading was falling off but they were edible. The drinks were flowing and the vibe was good. No complaints there. Would I go back??? Yes, I'll probably try something different on the menu. I feel like if the service was a bit better, more attention to detail on the food and the plating of food was different it would have earned 5 stars. But I had an overall nice time.

    Overall, I'm very happy that this place is at Armature Works…read more I like to try to eat healthy when I'm out and about and also eat high protein, I found my options at Armature Works is kind of limited based on these two criteria. I'm glad Graze exists, because I feel like they have quite a few options that meet what I'm looking for. This time I got a kale Caesar with blackened Ahi tuna on it. The Ahi tuna was absolutely delicious. I found the kale Caesar had a bit too much sauce, it tasted extra cheesy to me, so I think this Caesar sauce which is homemade has quite a bit of cheese in it for those of you who may not be big cheese fans. What would have made this five stars is if it had less sauce, so next time I might ask for the dressing on the side so I can control putting it on myself. I appreciate that they text you when your order is ready so you can walk around, I was able to go back to my table and sit with the family until my order was ready. Some of the stalls do not open until 11 AM, but Graze opens before that, probably because they have breakfast options. If you're looking for a healthy place at Armature Works, I would highly recommend here.
