We have been enjoying First Watch for 2 decades now. It is a step above the rest. My son and I recently had an important topic we needed to discuss. So we chose our favorite place to do so! We started with the vibrant passion fruit juice, delectable coffee, hand squeezed OJ, and some million dollar bacon! Do This! He then ordered his regular chocolate chip pancakes with fruit and sausage links. I decided on the barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl and I'm so glad I did! WOW! The service was okay ... however we are profiled everywhere we go ..... The ambiance is always top notch and welcoming! Grateful for this amazing place read more

I've been here 4 or 5 times now - normally over the top level of service! Today there were several dirty dishes and the honey butter biscuits seemed to be old. I'm going to keep coming back because I absolutely love this place! read more

I think this is my new favorite restaurant! I recently ate at First Watch and it was absolutely incredible. I wish I could give more than five stars. I ordered the traditional breakfast with eggs, bacon, and potatoes, multigrain toast and homemade strawberry jam--everything was fresh and delicious. The toast was so good and the eggs were cooked perfectly. In my group someone had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict... LOVED it, another had waffles with sausage and eggs. Every dish was a hit. The service was exceptional--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We all will definitely be coming back! read more

We ordered 8 different things and everything was super flavorful! Definitely a good spot with unique items, delicious alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, and is on my would recommend list! Only reason for 4 stars is the staff all seemed miserable and weren't super attentive or kind. read more

First Watch - MILLION DOLLAR BACON - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

First Watch is a great place for breakfast and brunch. This location at Shops at St. James Tulsa is conveniently located right next to where I live and opens daily from 7AM-2:30PM. I particularly love the white decor inside and the outside patio. Restaurant looked pristine. The food was good. I had the Elevated Egg Sandwich which I enjoyed. I particularly loved the avocado, over-easy egg, and brioche buns in this sandwich. The seasoned potatoes were alright, and I ate about half of them. I loved that each table gets a coffee pot at your own disposal. Service was excellent. My server was friendly and attentive. read more

I always enjoy the food here. It is a little overpriced, but I appreciate that it's fresh and healthy and good. I like that they have unique items and my colleagues and I enjoyed our meal. The service was decent those of us who needed to leave early were able to order early and the food came out in a good amount of time. The waitress was a little slow to refill drinks, but it was good. They need to put blinds on their window because the sun was shining in her eyes for the first little while. read more

First Watch has been a long time favorite but this is my 1st time at this location. I love the variety of items and the healthier choices. My daughter ordered the traditional breakfast with scrambled eggs, potatoes, toast, & bacon. It was a ton of food for a great price. I ordered the quinoa power bowl & had a coffee. They have a variety of coffee and other drink options (there is something for everyone). Service was fast and our waiter was excellent. The restaurant was clean. Also, I loved the decor. read more

First Watch - Banana praline French toast with lemon cream. A mazing ! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

We recently visited First Watch for breakfast, and from start to finish, it was a genuinely satisfying experience. If you're looking for a spot that combines delicious food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere, First Watch checks all the boxes--and then some. Let's start with the food, because honestly, that's what impressed us the most. I ordered the Chickichanga, and wow, it was very good. It's one of those dishes that surprises you--in a good way. The outside was perfectly crisp, golden, and just the right amount of flaky, while the inside was packed with flavor: seasoned chicken, eggs, green chilies, cheese, and turkey sausage. It was rich, but not too heavy, and came sour cream on top. Highly recommend if you're craving something savory, filling, and just a little different from your typical breakfast fare. The seasoned breakfast potatoes that came on the side were just as memorable. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and well-seasoned--these weren't just filler potatoes. They added a nice texture to the meal and were so good I found myself picking at them long after I was full. A little salty for my taste, but never the less, my bf said they were not salty. My beautiful bf had the Biscuits and Turkey Sausage Gravy, and it was another winner. The biscuits were fluffy and warm, and the turkey sausage gravy was thick, flavorful, and comforting without being overly salty or greasy. It had just the right amount of seasoning, and the portion size was generous. It's the kind of meal that hits the spot on a weekend morning when you want something hearty and soul-warming. And then there was Paige, our server--absolutely awesome. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. She made us feel welcome right away and was on top of everything: checking in without hovering, keeping the coffee cups full, and giving great recommendations with a smile. You can tell she enjoys her job, and it really made a difference in our experience. The total for two of us came to about $36, which we thought was very reasonable for the quality of the food, the generous portions, and the great service. Especially in today's dining climate, that kind of value is getting harder to find. We left feeling full, happy, and like we got more than our money's worth. A 27% tip was in place. Final thoughts: First Watch is a solid breakfast spot with standout dishes, fresh ingredients, and an inviting atmosphere. Whether you're trying something unique like the Chickichanga or sticking to comfort classics like biscuits and gravy, you're going to walk away satisfied. Add in amazing service from someone like Paige, and it's the kind of place you'll want to return to--and soon. 5 out of 5 stars. We'll definitely be back. read more

First Watch - Bacon cheddar cornbread - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

First Watch is one of my family's favorite places to eat and/or take out food. Choose anything on the menu, and you will not be disappointed. No kidding! Everything is so fresh and delicious, made with attention to detail and care. They have gotten to know our family there, and they know us by name. The friendly staff knows what we like, and they always go above and beyond to ensure that we get the 'extras' that we ask for, because they care, and because they pay attention. Lindsey answers the phone a lot when I call, and she makes sure the orders are right, as we as Justin the manager and Yoyo, who I believe is an assistant manager now. Yoyo watches over the kitchen staff to make sure they cook everything correctly every time (in case they have new people) so that their food is consistent, every time. And, it is! We love First Watch!!! It's delicious!!! read more

This is one of Tulsa best breakfast/brunch spots. I don't always love what I order, but the place is always packed, so I think folks really love it. I wish there was a location in mid town. read more

I was so glad to find out that First Watch had not left the Tulsa area for good--I used to love going to the location by ORU with my family, and was really sad to see it was closed when I moved back to town. This new location is even better--it is nice and airy and modern, with plenty of room to navigate the dining room, even with assistive devices like a rollator or wheelchair, whereas the other location could be a little cramped. It is also full of sunlight and decorated in a fresh but welcoming way. I was greeted immediately by a friendly server who gave me a few minutes to look at the menu while she got my coffee and water. I found that the menu looked just as delicious as always. It was really hard to choose one meal. I knew it would be a safe choice to have one of their classic breakfast meals like the Tri-Fecta with two eggs, pancake/waffle and breakfast meat. They have incredible omelets too. But in the end I ended up being enticed by the seasonal menu and the "Carne Asada Hash" special -- with "thinly sliced carne asada, crumbled chorizo and diced red bell peppers in a potato hash topped with two cage-free eggs. Cheddar and Monterey Jack, pico de gallo, avocado, radish, cilantro and jalapeño crema. Served with two warm wheat-corn tortillas." I asked for basted eggs (they are SO good on top of a hash.) The eggs were cooked perfectly with a nice creamy yolk and they oozed over the hash which was full of tender pieces of carne asada. The chorizo portion of the dish wasn't very prominent but that was fine by me because it can be easy for the strong flavored meat to take over a dish. The flavor was balanced overall and very satisfying for my lunch. The server continued to monitor my table and I appreciated her kind attention throughout the meal. I'm already looking forward to another trip back to First Watch--I promised to take my aunt along with me next time. read more

Cons: the online waitlist is very annoying. When I signed in online, they said it was a 15 to 25 minute wait. As we got there, they texted that our table was available and head inside. But when we got inside, they told us the wait was an additional 30 minutes. Which is fine. I loved hanging out with the people I was with. What is the point of the online waitlist? Our waitress was very busy and she kept saying how busy she was. My sandwich came with a salad. And I could not taste the salad dressing. It was supposed to be a lemon dressing? All my friends were making fun of me because I asked for more dressing. But I really couldn't taste anything on there. In the end I had to switch to a honey mustard dressing. And then they made fun of me for that. Pros: my friend mom loved her egg sandwich. And she is a picky eater. She's very hard to please. I got the BLT and it was delicious. It was a bit messy because I got eggs over easy. I got the kale juice. It was good. read more

A very nice new restaurant. Bright, comfortable, attractive colorful décor. A big painting of a bison stands guard behind the counter. The service is fast, attentive, excellent. Alexandra was our server. A very nice young lady who provided superb service. The first thing I noticed was the coffee. It was unusually good for café/restaurant coffee. Mellow flavors. Most importantly it had flavor, real coffee flavor. At most of these cafes, the coffee is so diluted that the filter used in brewing the coffee provides most of the flavor. A pot comes to the table with your cup. Serve yourself. Two First Watch's Traditional Breakfasts: 2 Eggs, bacon, seasoned potatoes, a slice of whole grain toast and a tasty fruit preserve for the toast. Most café seasoned potatoes are unacceptable. I prefer crispy hash browns. A surprise. These were very good. Crispy with onion and a little seasoning of some type. Check the pictures. These worked. Bacon, a generous amount. The whole grain toast with a smear of butter, was delicious by its self, and as a mop for the eggs. The fruit preserve on the other half of the toast brought the meal to a perfect ending. read more

I went there a few months ago for my birthday breakfast just me and another friend. The food was great, but the service from Caleb was absolutely terrible. I got there before my friend, but it wasn't busy yet so I got a booth. Caleb brought me a dirty glass for water. When my friend got there, he was super attentive to my friend. He brought out my friend's food first. And I had to wait another 5 to 10 minutes for him to bring stuff out for me. My food was served cold. This isn't the first time I've had service like this from him that particular server. I have not been back to this location and most likely never will. read more

Amazing food and so many choices. Staff are friendly and attentive. Nice to see tables are not stacked on each other and clean.

Always a great choice. Food is always great and service is always good. Typically get in fairly quickly other than weekends mid morning.

Food was good, service was excellent, restaurant was full but not noisy. We were on a tight schedule for a Tuesday morning and they met our requirement for a sit down breakfast without a long wait (a plus in our books). We are t coffee drinkers but the aroma wafting through the restaurant is enticing. read more

Oh heck yeah! Turkey sausage and gravy biscuits means I can eat them! Ever since I had to stop eating pork and red meat, I've missed biscuits and gravy! Now I can have them whenever I want!

We came back to First Watch this morning and enjoyed it even more! I got the special, which was the Parmesan prosciutto toast and wow, it was fantastic' toasted sourdough with Parmesan, lemon tossed arugula, prosciutto, and scrambled eggs and comes with a bowl of fruit - so good! I need them to add this to the permanent menu cause I would absolutely order it every time. We used the online wait list which seems to be working better now as well! Our waitress Morgan was super sweet and attentive! While it was extremely busy, we had a great time one again (: read more

For an upscale breakfast eatery, the sausage was like tasteless rubber, the pancakes were flavorless, the eggs were I don't know, just eggs. Not particularly fresh. I could tell everyone was feeling special at this trendy place, but for me, I would have preferred a little hole in the wall where my sleeves stick to the table but the food is great. read more

Went in on the snow day and had a wonderful experience. I have asked every donut shop if they can make cake donut holes and they have ALL said no. I sit down and to my surprise on the table was this beautiful advertisement for cake donut holes I was so excited! They were everything I ever imagined and more. The food was great, hot and fresh. All of the servers that came by the table were so kind and happy. Everything was clean and had an open environment. Can't wait to go back. read more

I had some type of steak and potatoes hash that I found to be quite good. Al though quite busy, wife felt that fried eggs came out colder than expected and was disappointed that they did not have sausage patty's other than the chicken ones that was offered in place of the links provided. The primary reason I rated as a 3 was the noise level as a result of customers having a conversation which the high ceilings did not help with. Maybe be a great place to eat food but lousy place to have a conversation unless a good lip reader which I am not. Feel that I did BS my way thru conversations by shaking my head up and down but now afraid of what I might have agreed to. The old locations at 61st & Lewis and 68th and Memorial were better for one on one or group communication but was not new construction as the current Tulsa location. read more

It was probably a good place, I went there a year or 2 ago with a friend of mine, basically because the name First Watch, I thought it had something to do with first responders. No big deal just a wrong assumption by me.as for the food, it was ok, just not to my liking, that's on me, I lick the diners that has like home cooking, this place was basically a little too fancy for me. read more

Breakfast was awesome as usual. We had the plain pancakes and cheesy grits. Service was great as always. The atmosphere is wonderful.

Wonderful, we had to wait 1.5 hours but it didn't disappoint. I loved this chain before Covid hit. I am glad one opened in Tulsa again.

Excellent food and even better service. We love to frequent first watch for brunch. The seasonal specials are delicious! 10/10
