Went here for breakfast this morning. The reviews are legit, this place is pretty dang good! I thought the decor was light and inviting, nicely done! I decided to try their Chickichanga. Very happy with that choice! The flavors work so well together, especially the chorizo and Verde sauce. Coffee was good too! Would definitely go back if in the area. read more

What a great cute place. Food was delicious the waitress was super nice. We all enjoyed all we ate. Very homemade especially those potatoes and bread! Definitely will be by again when We can. read more

I meet up with two friends monthly at First Watch and have had great experiences there. Their new special Elote Corn Hash is one of the best things they've had! We've all gotten it the past few times we've been in. Overall, it's a great place to eat and spend time visiting. They don't mind if you stay for a long time! read more

We had to come here because the service and the food was terrible at the hotel we were staying out. We were staying at the Sheraton by the way... anyway they had excellent options and are attentive to any allergies or intolerances. They leave the coffee pot right on your table so you don't have to www it for refills. We went here twice in a row as we only gave the gem show two days. We will probably come back here next year when we come back for the gem show. Great food and great service ... such nice and friendly waitresses it's like night and day after experiencing such bad service at our hotel... read more

Good breakfast selections and portions just right. Prices just reasonable. Service was great and the staff were very friendly. The restaurant was very clean and tables were conveniently spaced out. read more

The elote corn hash was a culinary experience I will NOT forget. I think it's only a summer offered menu item, but I think First Watch needs to put this on their permanent menu. I switched the chorizo with turkey sausage and it was still great. First Watch is an excellent breakfast/brunch spot in Tucson. Their wait time for a table is very minimal compared to places like Prep & Pastry or Baja Cafe, which puts it higher on my list of places to choose from when it comes to my first meal of the day. read more

Went here for breakfast early this morning with some of my girlfriends and we were NOT disappointed. One word Delicious! We did run into an issue but I believe his name was Jacob, he came to our table and fixed the problem fast. Which made us very pleased, so thank you again Jacob. But I highly recommend this place. They provide amazing service and great quality food! OH & You HAVE to try their juices!!! TRUST ME!! read more

Waitress never brought water that I asked for. Never came over and asked me how is everything? I asked for a to go box, easily took 15 min to arrive, along with the bill. Geez. Never filled my coffee even tho there was a pot in the table. She should have come over and filled my cup from the carafe. My server was no where to be seen, she vanished. The food. Urgh. I ordered over medium eggs, they were over easy. Over medium means the white is cooked and the yolk is still runny. My eggs were over easy, at best. The white was runny and not cooked. Gross for me. The potatos were ok. The "homemade biscuit with homemade gravy was obviously purchased from a supplier and NOT cooked in house. Even tho that is what the menu said. Worst of all is that the food is served on cold plates! WTH? Cold plates make the eggs cold before it gets to the table! I'll never be back! Lots of hype that does not hold up with the meal. Over priced for what my meal. I took my to go box home to feed to my dog Won't be back!! read more

Very good breakfast place. The menu is both exciting and extensive. Really enjoyed our visit.

I had a Farmers Biscuit Sandwich $9.99 with a Morning Meditation $3.99 & a side of potatoes. This was delicious! The arugula inside of the biscuit sandwich was seasoned so well with lemon and the sausage and egg combination was great. The biscuit itself was so soft & the drink was very refreshing. The beer taste was strong but the agave nectar sweetened it out. The customer service was great and so was the atmosphere, I would recommend this place! 6 people were able to eat for about $90 bucks. read more

Great great just great service, Server Rihanna and the Manager Alan had such a great customer service. This is why we love first watch. Thank you Alan and Rihanna read more

I've never had food delivered so fast, but it looked amazing coming to the table. Okay, taking a bite...please hold :-) WOW it's good! Potatoes were simple yet scrumptious; seasoned with salt and pepper and light grilled onions for flavor. The egg, bacon, cheese with lemon coated arugula sandwich was delicious. I had to decline the fresh avocado (allergies), but I'm sure that would take it up a notch too. Well I must finish eating. Give this place a try! read more

First Watch - SEASON's EATINGs!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Not good. Undrinkable coffee. Water with slightly off taste. Bizarre multi juice concoction for $4 which waitress up sold my daughter. Bacon good taste but dry. Potatoes dry. Eggs ok. Steer clear and go to non-chain Bobo's which is straight up and terrific. Oh breakfast for two cost $32 at First Watch. And oh yeah multigrain toast was trying so hard to be special it was dry and blah. Addendum: the cash register person asked how the meal was and I said well we will not be back. She asked why so I explained and she comped us the meal--classy ( I didn't ask her to). So up to 3 stars from 2. read more

One of my FAVORITE place to eat, the wait staff is amazing... Our waitress, Reanna R. went over and beyond with exceptional service. The managers, Alain G. and Joe F. are always friendly checking on every guest to make sure your dining experience is the best! read more

Always great food no matter where I find this restaurant. Love the Avocado toast, but add the yummy bacon, you won't be disappointed

This place was absolutely fantastic! First, the service was absolutely incredible! Our serve, Diana, was nice, speedy, and just made this an overall great experience. When we were curious what the drinks tasted like, she QUICKLY got us all (we were in a group of 4) samples of the freshly squeezed juice! That was just an example of her excellent service! Secondly the food was phenomenal! I had the smoked salmon eggs benedict and it was one of the best eggs benedict i've ever had! My friends had a variety of different other things like the lemon ricotta pancakes, chicken avocado chopped salad, and much more and they all loved their food as much as me! Everything was perfect! I cant wait to come back and don't forget to try the freshly squeezed juices! read more

Probably the best breakfast spot for omlettes and other fine comfort food as it is, but where they really shine is in their fresh pressed juices! If you're a fine of kale and carrots and spinach (don't worry about how they taste, they're all really good for you!) then you can get all of your micronutirents and minerals in one simple set up here, and they taste delightful too! read more

First Watch is a great breakfast place Father's Day menu today is about half the size of the normal menu so when they're making it they're making it right. read more

The food here is decent. We had the special, the shrimp and grits and the "million dollar" bacon. The grits weren't cooked properly and the whole dish wasn't seasoned. You can tell they expected the heat to just carry the dish instead of properly seasoning. The "million dollar" bacon is just bacon with syrup on top that somehow drowned out the taste of the bacon altogether. I didn't even know that was possible. This would be good hangover food if you need filling and bland. read more

While chain restaurant, this place has great food and service. 5 stars as long as you get lucky enough to walk in without a wait.

First lunch is one of my favorite healthy restaurants. I don't think there is anything on the menu that I've tried and I didn't love.

Ten minute wait, not even greeted with coffee, the restaurant not even half full, waitress chit chatting with customers who had already been served! This experience was uncharacteristic from the good service I enjoyed here before! Discovered hardened egg yolk on my coffee spoon! Service manager needs to employees and review training, especially checking the flatware for unwashed or incompletely washed items! Otherwise, they would have received a positive score and review! Do much better in future, First Watch on E Grant! Today, you DISAPPOINTED MISERABLY! read more

Stopped here for breakfast with my wife, Very satisfied! My wife being a picky eater and not liking too many breakfast items she found food she liked fast. The special juices are amazing! The service was super fast and very nice, polite, and professional. The food was great and the area is very clean. Especially good now with all the COVID stuff. Would definitely recommend, am definitely coming back. read more

Food is fresh and delicious, eat here all the time and the whole menu is good. I like the omelettes and pancakes.

We just happened upon this restaurant and are glad we tried it. The food quality is better than the Good Egg as is the decor. Rachel was our server and did a great job. She also explained why the name is First Watch. Thanks Rachel! The prices are high for the amount of food although the quality is good. read more

First Watch - OMG is the Melon Cooler delicious!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Out of all of the locations I have been to, this one by far is the cleanest and better waitstaff. For any of you that haven't tried First Watch, you need to get to a location and give it a whirl. Promise you won't be disappointed! read more

As many know ... I don't give away stars too easily, but I visited this particular First Watch three times weeks apart and each time all was exceptional. My fav so far is the Super food Chia pudding with fruit and more. I have had their "egg sandwich plus". Both were so so good. To go further the wait staff each time went out of their way to make sure we were enjoying the meal and beverages were topped off. From the time we were greeted at the door until we left all was super-- We will return read more

My bf and I just found our new favorite breakfast spot. The wait was very short to get a table, but we went on a Tuesday morning. We did try to come one Sunday morning and it was just too full so we left. When we told the cashier he recommended using the app to check in next time on busy days. We will definitely do that! Our waiter was nice and I thought we would have to wait much longer for our meal, which we didn't. We got there at 8:55 am and got our food around 9:20 am, so that's including us thinking about what to order. I got the classic breakfast, which I thought seemed pricy, but once I tried it the $9 meal was so worth it. The eggs are cage free and cooked perfectly as ordered, the potatoes were masterfully seasoned and not overly browned. I had a bite of my bfs Belgian waffle and it was so good. The atmosphere was very nice and the decor was rustic with a touch of modern flair. We will have to come back and sit on the patio, which looks very inviting. read more

First Watch is my favorite go-to restaurant for blueberry pancakes. Stopped by yesterday to order take-out & a very friendly hostess named Leslie welcomed me. Ordered the classic which is two eggs, bacon, whole wheat toast & potatoes plus the pancakes. I had my two dogs with me in the car, so Leslie was kind enough to walk my to-go order all the way out to my car. Amazing employees like Leslie plus First Watch's consistent great food guarantee I will be a frequent customer. read more

Love their salads. Innovative and refreshing. Service is great also. Speedway Kolb is great

My boyfriend and I frequent this location often- I'd say at least 2-3x a month if not more. The customer service and quality of food have always been great but just recently we experienced a level of customer service that I felt deserves a review. A few weeks ago we came in to have breakfast on the weekend. There was an issue with my boyfriend's meal - I won't go into details but it was a pretty significant issue. We didn't want to make a big deal of it because we've never had any issues previously but we did make our waitress aware of it. The manager immediately comped both our meals, asked if we wanted them to remake both our dishes etc. They were very attentive and apologetic which was much appreciated. We opted to leave for the day and didn't think anything of it past that. We returned this weekend and halfway through our meal the manager approached us AGAIN, apologizing for the issue we experienced and comped our breakfast for the second time. We were not expecting this at all and were blown away that they even remembered who we were (despite being regulars) but that they would offer to comp our meal a second time. The issue we experienced was not a deterrent to us returning, and the added customer service and care was above and beyond what was expected. Thank you First Watch for caring about your customers as much as you do! We will definitely continue to visit you. read more

Just craving breakfast (when am I not, though?) and this place happened to be there! As my first culinary experience in Tucson, it wasn't bad. Atmosphere: Very nice, clean and modern. It feels like it belongs in Austin where the Hipsters go (not an insult, just a statement) to get their brunch and power juice fix. It has a good vibe with its wide windows, wooden tables and floors. Service: Great! We were greeted in a timely manner from a server with a kind demeanor. He was patient in describing some menu items, as I took forever to decide, and when I made my substitutions. You pay at the counter on the way out, and our cashier was super peppy, as well. Good job, gentlemen Chickichanga: Not too bad for a souped up burrito. The Vera Cruz sauce was a good choice to put on top of this, and I like how thin the tortilla is. I substituted Gruyere cheese in place of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cause... well, it's Gruyere! One of my favs. I, also, added arugula to it because I love me some fresh, peppery rabbit food from the Gods. The potatoes that came with it were flavored well, but they were definitely overcooked. At least the fruit was fresh! The Elevated Egg Sandwich: Well, the flavor is there, but I thought this would be better cause how can you go wrong with eggs, Gruyere, avocado and arugula? I'll tell you... by not using enough! The Brioche bread overtakes the sandwich and swallows the ingredients. They should change the bread to something like French Bread or Ciabatta. Drinks: There is no alcohol here, so no mimosas or Bloody Mary's We tried the Kale Tonic and Morning Meditation instead. They're both really good! You need to like beets to like the latter cause, you can definitely taste them! The former was very refreshing, but just a tad bitter which is to be expected due to the kale so not bad! I would love to go back here and try something else. They have all the right ingredients and creativity to be good! read more

Onion in pancake. Never again. What else could I have found in this pancake? I didn't want to find out so I stopped eating it. Told the waitress but she didn't seem to think it was an issue. As a person with a few allergies, I am a little afraid of what goes on in that kitchen. read more

My first visit was wonderful. I had the Bacado and it was good. This visit was good also. I had the Carrot Cake pancake. It was pretty good. However, don't think you'll be getting a pancake that actually taste like carrot cake. Rather, it'll taste like pancakes with carrots. Nevertheless, it was tasteful. The coffee is great and so is their service. A great place to visit! read more

Service is awesome! I love First Watch to start with. The coffee, millionaire bacon, and eggs Benedict are my favorite. Oh yeah the juices are also the best! Location on Grant and Swan ask for Rebecca.. she was exceptional! read more
