First Watch - Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I've always had consistently good experiences at First Watch, both in Arizona and Florida, which is why this visit stood out for the wrong reasons. After being seated, we waited about 10 minutes before our server, Diana, came to take our drink order. After placing it, there was another extended wait before we saw her again. While she was assisting another table, I asked about our drinks, and she mentioned she would be right with us, but it was still quite a while before they arrived. Once we received our drinks and placed our food order, service became very limited. When our food was delivered, both my stepson and I had empty drinks, and there was no acknowledgment or offer for refills. I had to ask, which shouldn't typically be necessary. We also requested pico, which took additional time to receive. Throughout the rest of the meal, there were no check-ins to see how the food was or if we needed anything. The next interaction we had was when the check was dropped off. I understand that restaurants can get busy and delays happen, but attentive service, especially something as simple as checking in and keeping drinks refilled, goes a long way. Guests do notice these details, and they directly impact the overall experience, as well as the tips servers receive. I'm sharing this because I know this restaurant is capable of much better, based on past visits. I hope this was just an off day and not the standard moving forward. read more

Love this first watch location, all of the staff is super sweet. I got the chipotle steak and queso hash and it was by far one of the best items they've ever added to their menu. When my friend and I had went it was busy inside and the only seating was outdoors but if you're worried about the heat you can't feel it at all on the patio because of the fans! :) read more

This chain is definitely a favorite of mine best the food is always delicious and fresh. I've visited two separate places in Tucson and will definitely come when I want breakfast. Great variety and something for everyone. read more

We love First Watch, every one that we have been to is great, this place is no exception. Our server had a new trainee but service was still quick! I had the Pesto quinoa chicken bowl. It was a delicious mix of quinoa, kale, tomatoes, chicken, pesto sauce and feta. Nice! A blackberry tea to wash it down went very well too. Yup, it gets a big recommend! read more

Excellent Breakfast place!! We loved the menu! Service was extraordinary!! Highly recommend first watch and apparently they are in multiple locations, my son fount them on the east coast or or in the south and sent me. read more

Salmon frittata was excellent. Met friends who enjoyed but noisy. Good service. I will be back to try other items on menu.

Yesterday was our first time at First Watch. Everything was wonderful. Food and wait staff were on point!

First time at this location, but a fan of First Watch over all. Standard cute ambiance inside, plenty of parking outside , also patio available. We were lucky to get seated before Saturday rush so no wait. Fast and friendly service as usual but we didn't feel rushed. My friend and I both ordered off the seasonal specials menu and were not disappointed. I absolutely loved my elote breakfast burrito ! And I tried a bite or two of my friends Strawberry tres leches French toast which was also really good. I find the seasonal/ temporary menu items to usually be a good bet! read more

Came here for breakfast with a friend. It was yummy. I ordered the trifecta - it came with eggs , bacons and a Belgian waffle. Totally worth the prices! They were out of one drink I wanted to try that was on a limited edition menu.. menus all over the place advertising it but it's no longer a thing.. probably the only bad thing I'll say. Service was nice! It did take us a while, towards the end after the server brought us the receipt to ask for a box. We needed up having to ask the host since she never came back. Cute ambiance. Good for family, friends, dates, meetings etc! read more

It was a great place to eat with family and friends . The food was excellent and the service was absolutely amazing and friendly environment

Food was good but waited 15 minutes for the drawer to open and it sucked. I was now late for work. I paid cash.....do not do that again. Loved the food though! But just received a "sorry" and here's for your next visit. Me: ok at least I got a BOGO or a free meal...nope! The manager gave me a five dollars off coupon. Great thanks that makes up for the 15 minutes that you made me late. Back to the food, though I really loved the food and it was very flavorful and I really appreciated the helpful waitress. I recommend this place as long as you're paying without using cash. read more

The best breakfast place! I love the crispy potato's with eggs meal. So filling, made nice & crisp and definitely my go to for a delicious filling meal, ca be a little bit on the pricey side but so worth it. read more

What's with this establishment ? Every server has a scowl in their faces. Service takes forever. Sitting for 15 minutes before an unhappy waitress came to take our order. I asked for water , and it took us telling 2 other servers that we need water. And had to wait for the bill too. We had to go to the kitchen area to flag our waitress down. Same experience we had a month ago. Come on management get with the program. Food was good. Too bad I wouldn't come back. Oh and one server dropped a piece of strawberry on the floor, 3 servers walked by it and didn't bother to pick it up. Can you imagine if a customer steps and slip. Huh. read more

This place is clean and cute. The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu selection and presentation is also good. We will definitely be back soon read more

*This review is for a visit on 10/09/22* It's a Sunday so everywhere is expected to be packed for breakfast and/or brunch. I called in advance and asked about their wait time and they said 45 minutes which was completely fine with us since other places we tried were over an hour. I joined the online waitlist before we got there so that we would be 15 min in our wait time by the time we arrived. The only problem I had with this experience is that the wait time was definitely at least 1 hour 15 minutes instead of the 45 minutes that was told to us prior to us going. By the time we got seated, it was 12:00 and then it took another 15 minutes for the server to come around to get our orders. We were extremely patient and understanding given that it was a Sunday and this place was packed. By the time we got our food, we were super happy to finally eat and everything was delicious. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes which were unreal and so fluffy. I couldn't finish all of it but it was very good. The only other complaint is that the water glasses were a bit dirty so we did not drink water. We stuck to the coffee which was meh also. However, I would go back for the food alone. read more

First Watch - Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My go to breakfast spot! I always get the Tri-Fecta and it's always so good.There's something in this specific waffle that's so delicious. It's very soft on the inside and the perfect amount of crispy on the outside and it tastes very lightly of a churro. Plus, the jam they give you goes great with it. The Iced coffee is also good. I've never had any problems with the service. They're always so fantastic and friendly! And the food arrives fairly quickly considering how busy they usually are. The ambiance is very relaxed and the area is pretty spacious. I've gone with a group as big as 11 and a group as small as just 2 (and in between) and the service is always great. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This is the kind of place that Ladies Love to Brunch at. Food with consciousness and positive intent. IF you get here early enough, it is an absolute gem...BUT, anything after 9:00 am is going to be a wait, especially on the weekends. Cleanliness/Ambiance-It is always clean here, and it's appreciated. The ambiance is a little forced with LED pendants and blond-ish wood trim, high ceilings echo and amplify, so it can get loud. 3 stars Service-At THIS location, I have always been disappointed with service....hipster, self involved children, late on the refills and asking if there is anything else needed..and I HATE that you have to go to the kiosk in the front of the place to close out the bill. 2 stars Food-is stellar. Superb. Outstanding breakfast. I always get the Elevated Breakfast Sandwich and sub ham for the bacon offered. 4 stars read more

The food is fantastic. The service is great. They bring you your own coffee pot to your table. Everything is presented very nicely.

Awesome breakfasts!! Worth going out of your way to go there. The variety and quality are quite impressive. Loved everything. The only thing that would take this past 5 stars (I know that's not a thing) would be a larger barista coffee offering. But, their coffee, itself, and their coffee drink specials are good! read more

I am super happy about this breakfast place on Irvington! They have a pretty good breakfast menu! There is also seating outside if it's too packed inside! I always tend to pick the outdoor seating in the morning since it's super nice weather and pretty fast service! I highly recommend their coffee and million dollar bacon. Super yummy! There waffles and Benedicts are so delicious and always my go-to. read more

First Watch - Eggs Benedict BLT - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Dare you to get in this Irvington location on a weekend!! This place is jam packed, all the time! Why? Because the management here, the packed staff and the overall menu are a smash-hit. The second reason this place hits is it's the first, large scale Family breakfast style restaurant in the west side of the valley that isn't a Denny's. Unfortunately, Cracker Barrel seems to misunderstand these metrics here in Tucson and doesn't seem to build beyond the ONE restaurant... No worries, First Watch is here to pick up the slack and the profit! First Watch is a fantastic, fresh, welcoming, decor appealing restaurant. The bar has hooks underneath the counter to hang your purse or hat on and cast iron bars are you feet rests. The large ceiling environment is urban/rural with perfect touches of colors and accents with country style touches and barn doors. Where both of my daughters are a bit picky of other breakfast style restaurant chains, they love to eat here. Their menu is filled with clashing styles of foods which is a pleasant change of style including their adult beverage drinks to ward off the hangovers. Seriously. Love this place's touch with this style, its refreshing and different! Come, sit, eat, laugh, drink, start your day off right... Recommend: You'd be a fool not too. read more

First Watch - Absolutely PACKED on the weekends! Come early! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Very consistent even for a chain. Great food and always great service. Had the works omelette and of course the million dollar bacon!

First of all I want to say that my son and I went to dine in for my birthday a few weeks ago and everything was delicious. 5 stars for sure. Today we ordered through UberEats. Some of the potatoes were underdone and the biscuit was missing from the traditional. The food was in 2 bags and one of them was unsealed and it looked like the food had been shaken up by falling off the car seat or something. Interestingly it was the same one that the biscuit was missing from. Anyway, this experience was a bit disappointing but we will dine in again. read more

Listen the food is amazing but if you are a large party they will seat larger parties over yours even when you have been waiting 40 mins. This has happened before if you got at a party if 2 or 4 they can handle Update : they did make up for the wait , the food and service was incredible read more

Excellent food! The chicken pecan salad is the best I've ever tasted. There is a wait, but it is truly worth it! Oh! Fair prices too! read more

Breakfast It's a modern "farm to table" philosophy type restaurant and it was my favorite breakfast in Arizona. It's a small chain in both the Phoenix area and Tucson area and I like what they're trying to do. I think they have expanded even into California I'm not sure. This restaurant is conveniently located off a main highway. It's inside a shopping center area. Enough parking so that should be an issue but the lot can fill up. It's also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. This restaurant has high ceilings and open space. They have lots of wonderful breakfast, lunch or brunch fair. They try to emphasize healthy food. They do juicing and have some healthy type juices. And they have some special twists on classical breakfast from eggs to pancakes to waffles and of course bacon. They also have breakfast burritos, salads and sandwiches. They're really trying to appeal to a modern young customer with fresh items and things like avocado toast, super food bowls, steel cut oatmeal, breakfast for athletes, and traditional stuff like, four types of Eggs Benedict, four kinds of hash, six different types of omelets, All of them have some interesting twists. They also have pancakes and waffles which also have some interesting aspects too. They have a variety of healthy salads and sandwiches as well. They don't say exactly where their goods come from that'd be one minor criticism I would have of them to actually list where farms they get their goods from especially their meat, It will take there restaurants up to a different level. Even if was a list of local farms, and organic suppliers. I enjoyed their lemon ricotta pancake in their bacon You get your choice of either a Belgian waffle or a multi grain pancake. It's really a humongous pancake I don't know how anybody could eat 2 of them. I wanted to try something different I'm sure other things are good good. The lemon Ricotta with fresh strawberries over the pancake was wonderful. I had a little of the Maple syrup as well. It There are plenty of other dishes that I could imagine trying to working my way through. The food was well prepared hot and delicious. I always like to mention the bathrooms, they were clean and well stocked. The staff member who waited on us was wonderful she did a great job. Like I said my only criticism is being open about their food sources. It could be a selling point that further differentiates their restaurant.. All in all it was a fun place, with great food and good staff and I would recommend it. read more

First time my wife and I went out for breakfast at one of our favorite restaurants and it was disappointing. My sausage links came out cold and the presentation was rather poor. We won't be going back and save money. read more

I did online checkin which didn't help very much as we still had to wait a very long time, but first watch is a popular place and it was packed, so I do understand. Hopefully they get faster as time goes as this is a newer location. Once we were seated, service was good. Our food was fresh and yummy and didn't disappoint. I love the vibe and ambiance of all the First Watch locations and glad to have one on the south side of Tucson now. read more

For being such a busy location, their wait times are not bad. It's always good energy, busy and the waiters are on point. I live by this location so it's a go to. You cannot go wrong with their house waffle and berries and a yummy iced coffee!! read more

I dined at this location for the 1st time yesterday and the 2nd time today - both meals were tasty and the service was professional & friendly. Yesterday I had a lunch special of broccoli/cheddar soup & a 1/2 sandwich of roast beef and harvarti cheese. Today I had the best French toast that I've ever had. Menu items are pricy, but you get what you pay for. They even gave me a discount for being a vet! read more

The main reason I'm writing this review is to give a huge shout out to Kristian! She is hands down the sweetest, kindest waitress I have ever had at any restaurant. She was quick, flattery, and most of all, attentive. I would love to go back to this specific location but it's so far away from me. I live about 45mins away from it. I was on that side of town early AM and wanted breakfast so I stopped in...best decision ever! The food was really good too...only complaint I have is that the potatoes were 'raw'...they were well seasoned but that first bite of a stiff potato was not pleasing in anyway. I boxed them up to take home and will heat them up in my air fryer. Again Kristian, you were the star of the show! - Sincerely the lady with the cat pajama pants read more

Let me start by saying- we love First Watch. We've been coming to this location for a long time. But today was the worst ever. My husband ordered traditional breakfast, I ordered a turkey club. When the server brought out his plate, the eggs were VERY undercooked...the white was runny! Not a problem, until the server proceeded to ARGUE WITH US about what "over medium" eggs are. We went back and forth and I pointed out that the whites were still liquid- she insisted that it was cooked correctly, not wanting to take it back. He insisted on new eggs and she was rude to us for the remainder of the meal. Absolutely absurd!! Definitely won't be back - the server just ruined it for us. read more

I held off from visiting First Watch for awhile as I just don't eat breakfast foods too much. Finally a coworker ordered it into work and it was amazing. Now I bring my husband, mom and whoever else wants to go. I opt for The Traditional and the Floridian French Toast. The fruit on the French toast is always fresh. It's such a nice treat and really enjoyable. The traditional has great bacon as its thick and flavored well. The potato, egg and bread also fits well. I encourage you to visit First Watch and try some different breakfast foods, they're very tasty and fresh. read more
