Lisa was our server this afternoon and she was friendly as could be. This was a last minute call and a good one at that. My lunch date had the eggs and bacon and I went with their Avocado Chicken Salad without beans with some extra dressing. There was plenty of parking and I love how they have menus for kids. It kept him entertained until our food came. We'd def come back. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

I heart First Watch and there's so many reason to! First, their Wheatridge location is really close by and we love sitting at the bar. You should know - not every First Watch has a bar, but this one does! And, if you're a mimosa, bloody mary or even a summer sangria lover, you'll be happy to know their cocktails are waiting :) What I've always loved about First Watch still holds true: fresh ingredients, sourced locally when able, and a hard pass on too many processed offerings. Add the friendly servers, the hardworking kitchen staff in the back and the efficiency of the whole place - you've got a great experience every time. I'm a fan of routine and consistency when I'm not feeling adventurous - or when I have a hankering for something specific. First Watch totally delivers here. We've ordered a pitcher of the blackberry muddled sangria recently and love that it's made fresh. We splurged this past time and couldn't pass up their pumpkin spice donut holes and my guy had their seasonal Maple Bacon Croissant sandwich (I had a bite and vowed to order this on our next trip!). I'm a fan of spice and ordered the Chili Chorizo omelette. No bad orders here - and their plating is so nice. I'm a fan, always have been. If you haven't been, this is your sign. read more

Went here before a flight for breakfast. Got seated pretty quick and got coffee and water. Order the biscuits and gravy with eggs and potatoes. The potatoes were well seasoned and the biscuits pretty fluffy. Would get again. Parking lot was pretty crowded and small but seemed to have enough spots. read more

First Watch - Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

I visited First Watch and ordered the Chipotle Steak & Queso Hash. The food was good and I enjoyed the meal. However, about 15 minutes after my food was delivered, while I still had more than half of my plate left, the server asked if there was anything else I wanted and then immediately brought the check. The timing made me feel rushed and took away from the dining experience. Good food, but the service could have been more attentive to the pace of the guest. read more

First Watch - Chipotle Steak & Queso Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

This was a leisurely Saturday morning breakfast with our college student home for the weekend. We were a bit later in the morning and after welcoming us we were seated right away. The place was bustling with activity but not over crowded. My husband ordered the bacon cheddar corn bread with whipped honey butter for the table. This was quite tasty. I would get that again. I got my coffee as I am the only coffee drinker in the family. I like that they put a pot on the table. My daughter went with the Belgian Waffle. It came with a mixed berry compote a dusting of powdered cinnamon sugar and a scoop of the same honey butter we had with our cornbread. My husband chose the SoCal Breakfast Hash. This included bacon, grilled chicken breast, black beans, pickled sweet peppers and cheddar-jack cheese in a potato hash. It was topped with two eggs that he got sunny side up, avocado slices, pico de gallo, Cotija cheese, scallions and jalapeño crema. There was so much going on in this dish. It also came with two warm tortillas. He enjoyed it and even took a portion home for the next day. I got the BLT Benedict. I love a good benedict and this did not disappoint. There were two poached eggs on top of toasted ciabatta with bacon, sliced tomato, avocado and lemon-dressed arugula and smothered with hollandaise. It was served with lemon-dressed mixed greens. Each bite was delicious. I love having a side salad with a breakfast so the mixed greens were a perfect accompaniment. We all enjoyed our meals. Our server mentioned he was still training, but he did a great job. read more

Im usually not fond of chain restaurants because their quality tends to be on the lower end, but First Watch does a great job of making you feel like you're going to a local joint. Service was pretty good, I just took a bar top seat. I ordered an omelette and it was made to order however the eggs were kinda rubbery, other than that everything else was delicious. The ice latte I got was their seasonal mint chocolate latte with cold foam on top. Superizingly mint and coffee went well together, really loved the addition of the cold foam and chocolate liquor. Definitely worth stopping by with friends! read more

It's a fun breakfast place, open and light. Our waiter was great, super friendly but not in the over caffeinated way. He was great help with the menu. I had a the Bec breakfast sandwich and it was great. read more

Good food and service . Last couple of times we sat outside and it was nice. I've tried the frittatas , Floridian French toast and the burrito or even the million dollar breakfast sandwich ! Oh and the seasonal cinnamon pumpkin donut holes (fall) and the blueberry corn bread ( summer) , really delicious! We go every other month or so. read more

This was my first time at this location and I ordered my usual. Everything was delicious and served hot and looked great. I've been eating at FW for 20 years, first in Florida and more lately in Denver and they are an excellent chain and very well run. The locations are clean, the service is excellent and the food is very good. They have some awesome kind of winning formula and I love that everything is so consistent from location to location. read more

First visit. The FOOD is Really good. My girlfriend and I had a 10am breakfast. Establishment not crazy busy. Took them 15, 18 minutes to "come around" with a menu. The waitress DID her best to make up. Food GOOD. Service NOT Good. I wasn't going to post, being first visit. Today my girlfriend went back today and AGAIN 20 minutes before being acknowledged. Sitting at THE BAR. Two visits questionable service. GOOD FOOD! Food good enough to bring US back. Next visit fingers crossed. read more

Lunch is great here as well as breakfast. Nice and warm atmosphere as well. Service was just right and not overbearing even though we stayed for about 1.5 hours while visiting. read more

Great service and great food. I enjoyed the AM Breakfast Bowl. It was very good! I also got a pancake. Pricey, but delicious.

Great service and food. Fast friendly and delicious. Solid for a chain. Love the pots of tea and coffee at the table

I remember coming here when it used to be Chili's. The owners of First Watch did a great job of redoing this space. The interior space is beautifully decorated with plenty of natural light and a very nice bar area. We stopped by for Saturday brunch, and it was decently crowded. Only had to wait 15 minutes to get seated. Taylor was our waitress and she was great! We tried the Chickichanga, Florida French Toast, and Plain Pancakes. Each dish was flavorful and fresh. Will have to come back to try other dishes and drinks! Highly recommend visiting First Watch for a great dining experience. read more

First Watch - Carne Asada Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

Very nice! Great service from Brynne. Will for sure go back! Food was very good multiple options. Mimosa's looked amazing.

I order the trifecta and it was brought quickly and exactly as I had requested it . The server was pleasant and brought water and coffee first thing. This looks like a newer space so the design of the interior was a rustic modern space. The music was a bit loud making the people around me speak fairly loudly- parking was readily available as well. I highly recommend this First Watch. read more

We enjoyed our brunch at First Watch. The food was quite good and fresh. Our server was kind and the food came quickly. We were also seated immediately despite arriving late morning on a Saturday - it's bigger than it looks! Seating was comfy (plush chairs?!) and nicer than you'd expect One complaint: it's weirdly loud given the vibe. Some sound dampening would work wonders. Overall we'll certainly return and I look forward to trying some other menu items I was eyeing. read more

This a new location and my current favorite. We arrived after the lunch rush and were seated immediately. Wasn't as crowded as it deserves, but it was 1pm. I tried the breakfast tacos and will order again. I usually have the farmhouse skillet but I need to cut down on the carbs. The tacos are perfect with egg, sausage, avocado and pico. My wife prefers the Benedicts. Price is reasonable if you can resist the Bloody Mary, which I cannot. So add a little more there. Service is friendly and fast. If you like going out to breakfast I really recommend this location. read more

I'm happy that First Watch opened in Applewood, replacing the old Chili's. The new restaurant is beautifully decorated and very bright. There are plenty of parking spots outside. We had a lovely server named Brittany, who was knowledgeable about the menu and very nice. I ordered the biscuits and gravy which I love especially because they use turkey sausage. I tried the million dollar bacon for the first time, and they were delicious, crispy, and sweet from the maple syrup. I wish there were more dairy-free items on the menu for my son (like pancakes), but I know most breakfast places have limited options. He was really only able to eat unbuttered toast with jam, meat, potatoes, and fruit. They charge extra for real maple syrup, but it comes in a small, cute sealed jar that you can take home afterwards. The potatoes were a little salty, but everything else was fresh and tasty. I will definitely come back to this location because it's nicer, bigger, and maybe not yet as crowded as the Lakewood one. Looking forward to trying other foods on the menu. read more

I will not be coming to this location ever again. Me and my companions felt very uncomfortable and felt the racism form Rachel. She was very rude. If I'm going to get treated like I'm nothing, why even bother tipping someone for bad service. I always do 20% if you treat me right and not just get me out the door. read more

Great food. Great service. I definitely recommend this restaurant for breakfast and lunch.

Potato's were cold, ordered scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and never got the cheese, bacon undercooked and ordered an extra crispy waffle which was soggy. We were never offered refills on our water. Bad experience all around this trip. read more

Love this First Watch, across the street from our health club,Lifetime Fitness, many other places we shop. Love the decor excellent dishes every time. Waiting for First Watch in Henderson Nevada. read more

First Watch is always good. Service at this location was friendly and efficient. Food is prepared well and just seems "fresher" or "lighter" than the average breakfast place. Their fresh squeezed juices are wonderful. read more

Delicious place ! Very good breakfast. I hope to go again soon . I have 2 eggs and toast read more

First watch as a whole is a great chain. This location consistently make raw pancakes. I have given this location so much. Feedback on request fully cooked pancakes and it goes on deaf ears. The bacon was also cold and taste like rubber. It looks like day old rubber. This is the 8th incident and really hope they figure it out someday. read more

awesome brunch spot for sure. They have bar menu as well. There are several locations in Dallas and Fort Worth.

The food was great per usual. The woman who took our order was lovely and super patient, considering we had 6 people ordering quite a bit! But the girl who brought our food out was not as patient or kind. She loudly repeated our order when no one claimed the plate, because we were trying to clear off the table that had not been cleared of our 3 orders or million dollar bacon. I found it a little rude and honestly unnecessary considering we had 3 empty plates that could have been cleared before our main dishes came out! The way she repeated herself implied that she was annoyed she had to wait for us to make room. read more

Please, if you made cauliflower tacos every day(not just as a special) I wouldn't care, I would eat here all the time!

The food and service were first rate. Trinity was an excellent server. Be sure to order the Morning Meditation smoothie.

Great food, great service but fairly pricey for breakfast. I wanted to give 5 stars but I was fooled into tipping on our entire tables tab instead of the amount of my split check. I walked away unknowingly paying a 60% tip. Many healthy and delicious options. The menu will satisfy any breakfast connoisseur. read more

Great environment, great food and a fantastic look overall. Food was cooked to perfection, employees are well maintained and following food safety. Our server I think her name was Hailey did a wonderful job getting us exactly what we needed and made sure we were happy with our experience. She had a great smile too. Hailey will need a raise in the future to come! Thank you everyone at first watch. read more

I've been to a first watch near belmar and it was great! However the food and service was subpar at this one. Ordered the salmon frittata, if you're looking for salmon in it only expect a spoon full of salmon in the frittata. The waiter was less concerned about giving good service and rather get us in and out the door. read more

I placed an order on the Applewood Village website for delivery to our Wheat Ridge office. I am in Fort Collins coordinating. The Door Dash delivery person failed to deliver the food and unfortunately didn't speak English. I tried to communicate with the driver, and was ghosted. I called the Applewood Village First Watch to have them remake the order and they did so with kindness and professionalism. THANK YOU to the team member who I spoke to on the phone and was efficient in making the reorder happen quickly. I appreciate that customer service so much!!! read more

Ambiance is great, very bright cool location! But food is mid and we've gone back twice which is a bummer because the first watch other places is awesome. The bread was too thick, everything was really bland. It didn't come with what it was supposed to or what we thought it would, which the waitress kindly replaced, but just not as good as other first watchs we've been too. We ordered to go this morning and it's just okay. At other first watches they send you with the homemade jam, they don't do that here they send you with like a plastic premade one. They also didn't seem to toast the toast and put a LOT of butter on it. Farmhouse hash had barely any meat. Drinks are good though! read more

My server, Emma, was so attentive and kind! My food came out so quickly and was delicious! Will be returning!!!

We had a party of 7. The service was great. Food came out together. Good portion sizes. The shrimp and grits special was very good. One had the trifecta and very good. Another had the burrito and didn't care for the chicken in it. The omelets and juices were good. read more

I'm not sure why everyone thinks this is such a great restaurant. When they first opened on W. 64th Avenue, we tried them and never went back. A friend asked me recently to meet her at the one on Youngsfield. The food was less than average, the prices high and the wait staff is not attentive. The Works omelet hardly had any cheese, the sausage was awful and bacon too cooked to chew. The wait staff never took our dirty plates as she laid the bill down for us to pay. read more

The ricotta pancakes are fabulous! Beautiful farmhouse, decor, and very good service.
