    Outside

    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.

    Can't wait to go back! Food is always on point, the service is great, and the vibes are there. Great brunch spot

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We were seated quickly even though it was so busy. Our waitress was so happy and welcoming... a trademark of First Watch. Creative choices as well as standard but delicious meals. Highly recommend this restaurant

    We really like First Watch for their friendly servers and especially their breakfast menu with a twist. The offerings are so interesting and they have a few yummy cocktail selections. Healthier options are available on the menu.

    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.

Our server, I can remember her name but I think she was the only one with the pink hair that day, she was so good. My friend and I both, after she first came to our table, decided she was going to get a little extra too. The place is large, much larger than it looks from the street. There's a covered outdoor patio adjacent to the sidewalk on 15th but it was WAY TOO humid and hot to attempt that. When we left though, I did notice it was full of people. I guess that means everyone feels the same way I do about this place. There were so many good items on the menu we were in a quandary. Our pink haired server came to our rescue! We told her about our dilemma and she jumped right into which were her favorites from our list. She was spot on, we each enjoyed our food. We ordered: Gluten Free pumpkin pan cakes (it's a stack of 4 large pancakes!!!) - my friend said it's the best GF pancakes she's had yet. The spiced pecans, pumpkin cream cheese spread and maple bourbon syrup were SO GOOD! Side of Biscuits & White Gravy - the biscuit was good. Soft in the middle and evenly crisp/toasted on the outside. I might've like a little more flavor to my gravy. Maybe more sausage fat (for real, just trying to keep it real here!) or Tabasco. Country Fried Steak & Eggs - this was a HEARTY sized chicken friend steak. It was definitely made fresh. The batter was a little heavy, not thick per se, but extremely crispy. That probably works to its advantage as it doesn't get soggy too fast due to the gravy. Parking on the street for a Saturday wasn't good bad. We did drive around the block once...maybe 1.5x, but that could have been our fault. We're not from here and aren't used to the norms and standards her. I'm highly recommending this spot. We would've come back again the next morning if we didn't have to leave so early in the morning to get on the !

My husband ordered the roast beef and fries. The first order of the roast beef sandwich hardly had any onions but the worst part was the hair discovered on the fries. Upon the second delivery of the same meal, we discovered a SECOND hair. Listen, we've both been in the service industry so we try to have grace toward servers and kitchens. However, the worst part was that our server indicated they had just switched kitchen staff and yet this occurred on the same dish. Secondly, my husband had the view into kitchen and saw a kitchen staff member look out the window into the restaurant and roll his eyes at our table, ostensibly for returning the meal. First time is a mistake. Second time, completely different hair thickness - felt intentional. Food is your typical brunch and diner fare. If you go, be sure to thoroughly check your food prior to eating.

It was a hand-formed 8oz patty, and the chef was able to make it a perfect medium rare. It was delectably juicy, seasoned just right, and the cheese, peppers, onions and tomatoes topped it off perfectly. My salad had nice big slices of Parmesan cheese on top, and the lettuce was fresh and crisp, the dressing just right. Removing croutons is never a problem, but I appreciated that they happily left them off when they prepared the salad. If you're looking for keto options, you'll find many good choices here!

My biggest complaint was with the coffee and some of the service. I guess I will order an Americano or something next time because the drip coffee was luke warm at best. We were bussing our own table and one of the staff didn't even seem to know what to do with our dishes. Nobody was overly friendly. Maybe they were just prepping for the onslaught of First Friday-ers. Just off night perhaps.
