    We stopped by the wildwood location on our way to the villages to visit our grandparents. Service was good, the food was decent, we have had better at other locations back home in Ohio. We ordered the Million Dollar Bacon, Traditional Breakfast, Cinnamon Chip Pancake Breakfast, Belgian Waffle & Bacado Omelette. Plenty of parking available in the parking lot.

    Fabulous experience today with good tasting food and excellent service. The place is cute with a farm like atmosphere. Love love the Belgium Waffle and more.

    Excellent experience! Fast service. Nice presentation. Tasty brekkie: pancake, eggs and pork sausage. Hot coffee served in thermos pitcher, always piping hot when I wanted some. Easy check out experience with QR code on receipt.

    French Toast- a bit overdone

    First off, I'm a first watch fan I've eaten at many of their locations I different states. They are pretty consistent. For this one, we opted to door dash it, so I cannot speak to the restaurant itself. The food was good. We ordered twice during our trip. Just a couple complaints, 1) they do not provide enough condiments for the food. We had a group of 4 and had to scrape between us to make everything work. We even called ahead and were assured they'd provide additional condiments, but they did not. 2) The French toast was a bit overdone, but still edible. Everything else was good.

    My new favorite breakfast chain! We were sat as soon as we walked in--no wait on a Saturday morning. Our server was super friendly and quick, the menu selection was great, and food was delicious. Highly recommend the eggs Benedict.

    I love First Watch. The food is consistently good no matter which location you visit. The seasonal menus always give you new options to look forward to! They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Our service at this location was great as usual and so was the food! The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere is relaxed. Sign up for emails and specials. You receive occasional discounts and a free birthday entree!b

    We've been here several times and have done take out a few times. I recommend both. The good: 1) Food is delicious - I really enjoy how they make their omelets (not super fluffy - with added crap like pancake batter); they have gluten free toast and don't charge extra for it! 2) They have a lot of healthy options - it's not all gravy smothered - want egg whites? want fresh fruit, want lots of veggies in your omelet - no problem 3) Lots of options - you can order breakfast items during their entire operating hours 4) Nice rustic/modern décor The bad: 1) Not much really - The first time we were there, they didn't tell us you take the check up to the register to pay, so we were waiting a long time before we figured that out 2) It can get really crowded, especially during snow bird season (that's when I recommend take out) 3) It costs more to eat breakfast here than say a diner, but the food is more elevated Our favorites so far: The works omelet; Farmhouse hash and the Bacado Omelet. Tips: 1) You can order whatever you want - my husband just wanted 2 eggs over easy one day and bacon and that was no problem; 2) Once you get the check, you pay up front 3) You can order Gluten Free toast for free

    We had an excellent breakfast complete with sangria and a pineapple express. Server was fantastic and the restaurant is an adorable farmhouse theme. We'll definitely be back.

    This slightly out of the way spot in downtown Wildwood is 101% worth the trip from whereEVER you…read moreare in the southeast! We took a sunny drive over to celebrate a major birthday for my darling spouse.....and were FLOORED by the experience and the food...."THE FOOD"! Oh my Goodness!!! More on this shortly..... This Virginia girl (A Florida girl since the 1980's) fell in love with the eclectic decor and table settings that looked like my Momma and Grandma's heirlooms. Vintage prints and paintings. Red vintage bloomers with lace on the hook on the back of the door of the "Ladies' Retiring Room and Necessary" [my terms, to be fair...] Photographs of young belles and their children who arrived later. A decent interval later!!! NOW, the food. Hot, homemade cornbread to the table, and a peach ice tea that is like no other I have enjoyed ANYWHERE in the south. Hubby chose the Texan Chicken Fried steak, with smashed potatoes and greens, and I picked my favorite southern dish (one that I cannot make at home without ruining ~SHRIMP & GRITS!) and it was beyond description. Shrimp almost the size of quail, with perfect spices and texture. Creamy grits with cheese and a few bell peppers for a variety. I never DREAMED of using salt or pepper.....it would have been an affront the the dish itself, My husband's smile told me he loved HIS chosen dish down....that, and all but licking his plate! We have the decadent looking slices of cake her to share later with coffee, but there was no chance we would skip trying them.....but also no chance we could eat them immediately after lunch without exploding! Service was prompt without hovering, and we will be returning either for MY birthday or if we have friends come to visit. HIGHLY AND TOTALLY RECOMMEND FOR A SPECIAL MEAL. The quality makes the prices perfectly acceptable!!

    A perfect place to meet you lady friends for breakfast or lunch. The setting inside is adorable…read more The wait staff is very cordial and the food oh so yummy. Great menu to select from.

    After a few dinners here, hands down my favorite place in The Villages. Often times when visiting…read moreThe Villages I have to temper my expectations as to food quality and flavor. But when I first visited Harry and the Natives about 6 months ago I realized this place was different. Now, I can honestly say it's a place 'I look forward to' vs. a lot of The Villages food options which are 'places i settle for'. Pricing is fair for the quality you get. The drinks are Tiki inspired and delicious (I highly recommend the Village Dodo) and you can tell they pride themselves of freshness and quality. They have some of the best crab cakes I've ever had, a bit pricey but they are almost 100% crab (almost not binder/filler) and if you know the price of crab these days you'd understand the pricing. For me, a Village Dodo drink, Filet Mignon medium rare 'surf and turf' style with a crab cake, and creamed spinach side served outside with the tiki torches blaring is near perfection in a meal.
