Entrance outside parking
Bekah C.

This was my first time visiting First Watch in Taylorsville and I was pleasantly surprised. From the moment we arrived the staff was very warm and prompt to get us seated. The coffee was absolutely delicious and delivered quickly, which I always appreciate. My friend and I split the Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl and the Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast. Our taste buds were absolutely blown away by both. The FW Chilaquiles is one of the best I've ever had. (Try it yourself and let me know if I had first-timers taste buds.) And the seasonal pancake is perfectly pumpkin. (You can add chocolate chips but we really enjoyed it without.) Between the food quality, the great atmosphere, and the top-tier service, I cannot wait to go back again. See you again soon, First Watch.

Love this place. Bailey is an awesome person and their new Banana Nut Muffin is great as well as their pumpkin pancakes. The ole stand bye biscuit and gravy and omelets are always good too!

I was a fan of first watch in Omaha, NE. Happy to have it down the road from me in Utah now. Parking is limited. There will be a line for breakfast & brunch during the weekends. I went with my mother to try it out on a weekday for breakfast. Mine was great. My mother was less enthused. She did not care for the hashbrowns nor that they do not have salsa on hand. Service was also lackluster. Plenty of staff but none that would approach us for refills or to simply make sure our meal was decent. I might try this spot again given that it's relatively new & might need some education with the service crew. Only time will tell.

My friend and I had such a lovely experience here yesterday and I wanted to shout out our server because he was absolutely incredible. I sadly didn't catch his name but he was brunette with a goatee. I was meeting a friend here and was 1. Running significantly late which is my worst nightmare and 2. Running late due to a difficult conversation that left me weepy and unable to hold back my tears. Our server read the room right away, gave my friend and I some space for me to collect myself, and then continued to be the most gracious individual throughout our entire meal. When he came by for our drink order, I ordered a Diet Coke and he brought us each two, which made our days. We each got the avocado toast which came with eggs, and it was lovely. Thank you to our kind server yesterday for being so gracious!

Elevated egg sandwich

Fast and great service, our server greeted us at the table with a pot of coffee and two coffee mugs! The coffee was fresh and hot! Great way to start our first time here! I got the egg sandwich with the upgrade of the million dollar bacon! This meal is definitely super filling, the potatoes were nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection!! The French toast wasn't your ordinary French toast, it had lots of flavor and was nice and fluffy! Definitely coming back and hope we get the same amazing service!

Trifecta
Mikki M.

What a nice addition to the Taylorsville area! The space is clean with beautiful seating and decor. I was able to put my name down for four through their app, so by the time I checked in, we only had to wait 20 minutes. We ordered the strawberry tees leches French toast, the trifecta, barbacoa chilaquiles, the chorizo omelet, and farmhouse hash. Everything looked delicious... but it was all so bland. We had to add hot sauce, and salt and pepper to everything. I'll definitely try it out again when they've been open a bit longer.

It's nice to see First Watch has made its way to the western United States. It always tastes made to order. The ingredients look and taste fresh. Including the juices. The design inside is cute and it was very clean when we visited. The service is where they fell slightly short. Upon entering we were asked to wait on the side benches while she sat the party before us. Then when other employees came to the hostess desk they would help other people before us. We just waited patiently for the other staff member who asked us to wait to come back to seat us. Our waitress was kind, but she didn't check on us much and then I waited around for quite a long time for her to give us our check. I finally flagged her down. She said we are supposed to take our receipt to the front hostess desk and check out with them. Hoi! Other than those few hiccups we enjoyed our meal.

Tri-Athlete

Went back to try more breakfast items - The Eggs Benedict- really good - well put together and good Hollandaise sauce - wasn't crazy about the hard cooked eggs to me a soft poached eggs are preferred for a Benedict! Hubby loved the Tri-Athlete - a great health breakfast filling but not stuffed! It didn't come with the fruit cup as described on the menu but came with mix greens and lemon dressing. A great alternative. The mix greens was good and the lemon dressing great! Service was excellent again coffee was great .

Kids pancake meal- we asked for no chocolate chips
Alisha L.

We were really excited to try First Watch today and even looked over the menu before leaving the house. When we arrived, there was a large crowd waiting outside -- clearly us Taylorsville folks love a good breakfast spot! The host was very kind, and we were quoted a 35-45 minute wait. They do have a small coffee station in the waiting area, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, the experience started to go downhill when our 45-minute wait turned into 1 hour and 10 minutes. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes for our server to greet us. We ordered drinks and food, but our drinks didn't arrive until after our food and upon request. The food came out surprisingly fast, but the bacon and potatoes were cold. One of the kids' meals was supposed to come with fruit but came with potatoes instead. I asked about it right away and was told it would be brought out -- it didn't come until we were packing up to leave with an additional request. Syrup also didn't arrive until our daughter was nearly finished with her pancake. We ordered a traditional breakfast, tres leches French toast, and two kids' meals. The kids' meals were reasonably priced and good portion sizes. My husband enjoyed his traditional breakfast, but the tres leches French toast lacked flavor and didn't resemble tres leches -- it was essentially French toast topped with strawberries and whipped cream. When paying, my husband noticed the tip option disappeared quickly before he could select one. A tip had been added to the receipt that he did not choose. The manager did come over, refunded the charge, and re-ran the transaction, which we appreciated. We left feeling disappointed and wishing we had gone to our usual breakfast spot. We understand this location just opened and is likely working through early hiccups. If you're planning to try it, I'd recommend giving them some time to settle in -- and maybe avoid busy Sunday mornings.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4. The food here is really good. Portions were sized well and the flavors were good -- we had a party of 5 and we all really enjoyed what we got (hash bowls, pancakes, avocado toast). Having been to the Orem location a few times, the menu options at this location were smaller (they said it was because they just opened which makes sense, but still a bummer). The service was ok -- our waitress forgot a lot of things, but was friendly. It's really loud inside when it's busy which can make it hard to hear others at your table. The big turnoff during our visit was a strong sewer smell that we all immediately noticed and kept getting whiff's of the whole time. It made it harder to enjoy the yummy food and experience as we waited for our food.

Food menu is fun and inviting, focusing on the healthier side. Service is fast and friendly. The ambiance has a comfortable feel and the tables are huge.

Biscuits and turkey gravy (stolen sausage, didn't come with this meal)
Tina S.

Went today for the grand opening. It was really delicious! The staff are super friendly and the place is very clean. It was loud because it was packed! But it was nice. They have chosen beautiful decor, very modern farm house with blue as the base color. I love the little chicken wire detail in the booth dividers. Very cute. They serve more organic, farm fresh, and cage free food which is lovely. The southern windows make the place bright and airy. The coffee was amazing, and they left the carafe for us. Being the first week the coffee was free which is just lovely. They provide creamer on the table and organic sugar and other sweetener on the table already. My son had the kids chocolate chip pancake (just over $7) and it was HUGE! He ate the entire thing and it was really yummy I got to try a bit lol my husband got the Biscuits and turkey gravy, comes with eggs and potatoes (he stole the kids sausage which was huge lol) he said it was good. I got the traditional breakfast with scrambled eggs (I had them add cheese) and it comes with lots of crispy bacon a ton of potatoes and a slice of multi grain bread and they provide what seemed to be freshly made strawberry jam. It was very good. We all enjoyed our meal so much and decided we will be back for lunch or to try another breakfast item next time. They provide a large amount of food which is good for the price you pay (about $14 a plate, but worth it).

BARBACOA CHILAQUILES BREAKFAST BOWL
Matt P.

I've been excited to try this new breakfast option in Taylorsville. It's a nice remodel of a Carls Jr with covered outdoor dining and a comfortable dining room. We were greeted by three different servers while we made our way to a table. They were all smiling and seemed happy in their work. The menu had numerous savory and sweet options that I found intriguing. I'm not really a bowl guy but the BARBACOA CHILAQUILES BREAKFAST BOWL caught my eye so I decided to give it a try. Wow, it was incredibly flavorful, and the presentation looked like a picture. The fresh elements melded with beef, beans, cheesy eggs and tortilla chips in a mouthful of deliciousness. I really couldn't think of any way it could be improved upon. My wife enjoyed the classic Benedict and noted she could even taste the lemon juice in the hollandaise sauce, something not present in most Benedict's at a restaurant. First Watch certainly earned its place on our go to breakfast stops in the future.

I had the barbacoa chilaquiles bowl and the mint mocha and it was all great. Good portions and good flavor. The restaurant looks very clean.

Honeydew cucumber mint limeade - wow, so good and refreshing. It's on the sweeter side but oh so…read moregood. Never had anything like it before! A great drink for a hot day. Biscuit Benedict - first time having it on a biscuit instead of an English muffin. It was amazing. I dug right into my dish not relaxing halfway through I forgot to take a picture of it. Highly recommend. It's a perfect amount and very filling. The hashbrown had red quinoa which was unique! Never had that combo before and it works! There's a parking lot for the restaurant in the back, but there's also free street parking around the area.

My love for this limeade began with the stand at the Pioneer Park SLC Farmers Market a few years…read moreago. To remember that they now have a restaurant was exceptional news. First impressions walking in the vibe is nice, love an open concept kitchen, that way you can really see the efficiency and flow of the staff and that brings a bit of liveliness to the atmostphere. I started off with an Limey Palmer, absolutely delish, loved the crunchy sugar that they mix into the drink for optimal sweetness. As an Arnold Palmer gal this hit the spot. Bonus points for giving me to go cup so I could take the rest with me. For food I got the biscuit Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was a pretty lemony, but I really did enjoy it. In fact, I loved it's so much I came back the following weekend for the same thing, absolutely fantastic. The biscuit with all the fixings was absolutely delightful. Had me thinking about it for a week! 10 out of 10 Benedict from here.

Had a really nice brunch experience at Sunday's Best! I ordered the breakfast tacos and the Bad…read moreBeaches Only cocktail, and both were decent. The real highlight for me was definitely the ambience, the whole place has a fun, upbeat vibe that makes it a great spot for brunch with friends. My server, Tanner, was great as well. I'd give it 4 stars overall. There are a few things that could have made the experience a little better, but the atmosphere definitely makes this a place worth checking out if you're in downtown Salt Lake City.

I had high hopes for this place because it's in a beautiful, newly developed part of Salt Lake City…read moreand the restaurant itself is quite attractive. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill almost immediately. When I asked to be seated outside, the hostess seemed visibly irritated. I then noticed that the outdoor tables were only being cleaned as customers arrived. The tables around me were covered in dust and debris, which I found pretty off-putting. If I were the manager, I would make sure every outdoor table is cleaned daily, regardless of whether someone is expected to sit there. The service didn't improve. My waitress took a long time to come over, looked irritated the entire time, and never once checked back to see how my meal was or whether I needed anything. The food was the biggest disappointment. My eggs arrived cold. The breakfast potatoes were cut into wildly different sizes, so some were cooked while others were undercooked or practically raw. The sausage tasted like low-quality, processed meat that had been cooked well in advance and simply reheated. It was one of the least enjoyable breakfasts I've had in a long time. The one bright spot was my cocktail, which was actually very good. Overall, I left extremely disappointed. Between the poor service and disappointing food, I won't be returning.
