We've been to the location in Denver and now one in Tucson. Still the same great service and the same great food. We actually ate breakfast at this location twice in the week we were in Tucson and everything was perfect. Our food was piping hot and the waitstaff was great, as usual. Two thumbs way up!! Happy eating my foodies!! read more

Allow me to explain, you see I am one of those people, who make the world a great place... I help people, I am very generous. Google me, seriously. I'm awesome. Sadly I have found the world just isn't like me for the most part. But BOOM! Kale tonic... Chile Chorizo, super attentive and funny charming wait staff. The manager winked at me. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This is the BEST way to wake up and start your day. Ask for the Chile Chorizo with additional black beans and tortilla chips. Trust me. Also they have the best to go coffee cups. read more

I know this is a chain, but WOW! Didn't feel like it at all! Justine, our Server was beyond amazing and made our experience feel like we were in a quaint little artisanal bistro... food was wonderful, as well as the seasonal juice. read more

Update: corporate sent me a gift certificate and when I went back the service was much better. I appreciate that First Watch read the review and took action. I wish more restaurants did that! THE EXPERIENCE: 8:15 on a Saturday morning finds First Watch's first patrons steadily coming in for breakfast. My friend and I were immediately greeted by Riley as we walked in the door. We immediately liked the decor and feel of the restaurant, lots of lighting and contemporary furniture. We waited awkwardly near the door for about 2 minutes with no sign of the hostess. Riley was checking someone out at the register and we asked if we were to seat ourselves. She promptly took us to a table where we sat for over 10 minutes while countless servers passed by us averting their gaze. They also stood near the register chatting and occasionally one would acknowledge someone who came in by asking if they had been helped yet. A designated hostess would nip that in the bud. After several parties around us were seated and also seemingly ignored by the staff, Riley came back to check on us and was very apologetic that no one had even gotten us water. She was very friendly, helpful, and attentive despite the fact that her other tables were on the other side of the restaurant. THE FOOD: My friend ordered the traditional breakfast. She liked it. It's kind of hard to mess up a traditional breakfast. I ordered the elevated egg sandwich. It wasn't bad, but I don't think I would order it again. The egg and sausage were hot, the avocado was cold out of the fridge. Room temp would've made it much, much better. I originally had the potatoes as a side, but they were loaded with onion. One bite felt like I had just eaten cooked onions - nothing else. Riley happily subbed a cup of fresh fruit which more than made up for the side of onions. OVERALL IMPRESSION: This place has a long way to go. Where it hits the mark with atmosphere, presentation, and creative menu offerings - it really hits. Where it misses is customer service (except Riley) and attention to detail - two big things for me when dining out. I might consider coming back once they get more settled, but it won't be soon. I think the experience for me was a one star, but Riley's friendliness and attentiveness boosted my rating. read more

I've come here a few times and the food is always fantastic. I'm writing this review in hopes that someone in authority reads this and makes a few changes to their NoWait App. I tried to use this app for the first time with a party of seven people. The app had a pop up that said "this restaurant does not allow you to get in line with larger parties" No problem the wait is not very long. We arrived a few minutes later and got in line with our party. While waiting for a table, another party of seven comes in and says "we used the app but couldn't put seven people so we just did six, but we really have seven" the manager then informs my party that we will have to wait because someone else checked in with the app. NOT OKAY!!!! When I complained, her response was to tell me that they used the app and shrugged her shoulders. I complained loudly enough to be heard, but if your practices are to allow people to cheat the app, then change the app, otherwise teach your managers not to allow people to cheat the system when honest people try to follow rules. Again, the food is fantastic, but this experience was extremely off putting for me. read more

Decent place for brunch, my favorite meal of the day . The ambience was nice the music subtle while still giving the meal a nice vibe. I had a tough time choosing between the chickenchanga and a power Quinoa bowl and after a soccer game decided for more calories and I love eggs for breakfast/brunch. The coffee was a good and brought immediately and good quality. Anyways, it comes with potatoes and some fruit. The main compensation was nice warm and all the pieces complimented each other well. The cheese, eggs, chicken, and tortilla all melted in your mouth. I plan on going back for the power bowl quinoa. read more

Decor is adorable. We went on a Wednesday morning and the restaurant was pretty empty so there was no wait and we were seated right away. The food presentation was beautiful and the taste matched. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 since we were not fond of the coffee, too bitter for our taste. read more

I just read through many pages of first watch reviews, on indeed. I would like to share a few with you. 1. The majority of the products you use will be pulled from the freezer and (improperly) heated to temp in a steam well. You will not gain any cooking knowledge nor hone your skills here. This tells me the food is not even made it is shipped in frozen. 2. Cardboard boxes are always piled high with food particles found on the floor in the kitchen, followed by trash cans overfull in the kitchen as well. All of this contributes to creating both an unsafe, and unhealthy environment for people to trip, slip, and fall. This tells me that the kitchen is not clean and sanitary. 3. Crammed space, too many waiters/servers hanging around back vaping, filthy kitchen, only one bathroom to be used both by customers and employees, no breaks, limited time to get something to eat, and finally treat people like machines. This tells me they don't have a place for the employees to sit and have a break of any kind. I did not make up one word of what is said here, I copied and pasted from Indeed reviews of first watch. My lunch at first watch was a simple salad, but they could not get that right either. Here is what the first watch menu says is in the chicken avocado chop salad: Arugula, Romaine Lettuce, Chicken, avocado, Black Beans, Corn, Tomatoes, Feta Cheeese, Herb Mix, Tri Color Tortilla Strips, with Citrus Chipotle Dressing and served with Ciabata Toast with whipped butter. I did ask they leave out the arugula. Here is what I received on my salad, lots of romaine lettuce spine, two pieces of avocado, I did not see or taste any corn, black beans, tomatoes or feta cheese, it had two small pieces of chicken in the bowl. The toast had no butter and none was provided in a separate dish. Maybe because I ask them to leave out the arugula, when they hand picked it out of my salad they tossed all the other things, also. This is totally unacceptable. You should take a look at the menu and what you are expected to get, then take a real close look at the actual dish you receive, to see if you are getting what you are being charged. read more

Brought my mom and grandmother for breakfast here for the first time. What I loved most was the service. It's been a very long time that I've gone to a breakfast restaurant and received good service. The food was delicious. I absolutely love their drinks menu. Stop going to Denny's and iHop if you want to be treated well and enjoy a great breakfast. read more

Stevan always gives us such amazing service! Every single time we come in here, he greets us with a smile, he remembers my wife and I, and he always gives us and every customer around him his 100% attention until they are satisfied! We are excited everytime we see him because we know we are going to be taken care of really well! He's one of the best servers we have ever met, and he makes coming to an already great place that much better. If I was running that establishment, giving him a raise would be my top priority because he's a keeper! Also the modern croque madam is amazing and we hope it sticks around for a long time! read more

We LOVE first watch! It's our Sunday after church brunch spot, we always reserve a spot via Yelp and the table is always ready right when we get there! The food is phenomenal! Never over-proportioned and always tastes extremely fresh! read more

Every time we're here, the entire staff is so pleasant. Each time the server gives us great recommendations especially for gluten free options. My favorite is the multi-grain banana crunch pancakes ( I think that's the correct name) and the Quinoa kale power bowl. read more

The Food is Great! The wait staff is great! The price is completely acceptable. Location is great. So, what's the problem? I went for breakfast with 4 other friends, and we all enjoyed the menu selections and the meals and breakfast cocktails we chose were great but 2 things were so 'bad', that none of us will ever go there again, and those were: 1. They ran out of coffee. It's breakfast for god's sake, you don't run out of coffee. No excuse. NO EXCUSE. You call yourself a Breakfast Restaurant - so don't ever run out of coffee. Not ever. Stupidity beyond acceptability. 2. The noise in there is literally so bad that we could not converse, not even sitting next to each other so close we were touching shoulders. The music was so loud we felt like we were in a nightclub, and the customers were all trying to over-talk the music and the result was PURE HELL. Sorry, but that noise was a complete ruination for me and my friends. This is NOT an over Exaggeration. It was PURE HELL. You can go try it, as I said, the food was very good, but the experience was painful. Also, you have to stand in line to pay your bill - even more stupidity. read more

Been here a few times and the location in grant and swan was way better than speedway and kolb I'm not sure why but the food tasted so much better. I love the atmosphere. I'm obsessed with their drinks (the morning meditation and Kale). I had Cobb salad and sandwiches before and it was really good but my favor was the salmon Benedict despite of the saltiness it was great and the rainbow toast... man that was good. I will be coming back. read more

We went on a Sunday at 11:45am. There was a 20 minute wait, which is reasonable. They do have a serve yourself beverage area that you can make yourself a cup of coffee while you wait. We reviewed the menu during the wait, which was good as it has quite a bit of stuff to look through. Customer service was good, except the server seem to be in a rush while taking our orders and didn't ask if we wanted soup or salad with one of the entrees, so we received salad and since a different person brings your food, we didn't want to ask them to fix the order. The food was DELICIOUS! I had the BLT eggs benedict. My youngest had the chocolate pancake, which we all ended up nibbling on as it was huge. My daughter got a club sandwich, my husband a chorizo omelet and we shared the avocado toast. Their special drink was a strawberry smash up, basically a strawberry lemonade, was yummy. Family of 4, bill was $61. It was a good price the food! read more

We are addicted to First Watch and appreciate all that they do for patrons in light of COVID 19.

WOW!!! I thought that the bait and switch lies that all of our politicians and leaders are telling us were reserved for them and their ilk alone. But, I now know it is permeated into local business practices. We arruved at 1040am sunday...yes it is busy as expected with people waiting. I asked how long the wait was..told by the 2 people at check in...15 min. 20 tops. LOVE IT!!!! After 20 min 9f waiting went to host desk to ask...they said..."you were checked in with a 35-40 min wait time and that it would be another 15-20 min wait with 4 parties ahead. WHY LIE...OUTRIGHT...WITH THE POSSIBILITY TO BE CHECKED AND CALLED OUT ON IT...GUESS IT'S THE NEW NORM...'MERICA read more

Great place to have a nice healthy brunch. The food is always great with lots to choose from without the guilt and the staff is friendly. Usually on weekends the wait will be longer but it's definitely worth it. read more

I like this place but when I used them as a catering service they were so slow and kept saying almost ready and then ended up being late to my catering event when they said they would have it ready by a certain time. Everyone was happy with their food so I won't complain. But overall, It was good. read more

I love first watch. Always a fan. I decided to try something "more healthy" this time and it wasn't what I was expecting(personal preference I'm not a fan of diced turkey). I ate my meal because regardless it was eatable. I had conversation at the front casually about it because the lady who was taking my payment asked. I Informed her I would switch the turkey for bacon next time. I didn't get her name but the manager I assumed over heard and took care of me without any hesitation. First watch on broadway has great service, customer service, and great menu options. Love it read more

Wow - just amazing! We visited for the first time and will be back. Million Dollar Bacon is undervalued by at least half! My girl had the Beet Toast and loved the bright, complex flavors. My Quinoa Power Bowl was rich and complex. A great find! read more
