I'm delighted to know that First Watch is even better now than it was when it first opened over a year ago. Many restaurants place great emphasis and effort on the grand opening to garner good reviews and then drop their quality of service and food over time. This wasn't the case at First Watch. My wife and I visited First Watch a year ago on the day after Thanksgiving and were delighted by the quality of food and service, specifically the thoughtfulness and attention to detail from the staff so much so that we had to return one year later. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our hostess who lead us to our table where our family was already seated. Our server promptly arrived to offer beverages, take our orders, and answer questions. As we waited, the manager greeted us at our table and asked if there was anything we needed while our orders were being prepared. The restaurant was well lit with natural lighting and spacious as we remembered it a year ago. The menus were clear and offered a good selection of entrees, sides and daily specials. I ordered the Farmhouse Hasher with eggs over easy. My wife ordered one of the specials -- the double crunch breakfast tacos. Both were brought to us promptly. My wife loved the tacos and said she hadn't had such great tacos like that in quite a while. The farmhouse hasher was as I remembered it - the potatoes were cooked and seasoned perfectly; the bacon nice and crispy; and eggs over easy delicious. This will be our annual day-after-Thanksgiving morning tradition from now on! read more

Service was great! Ambiance was fine, but we went during a busy time and it was hard to hear our conversations. We had a large group and everyone enjoyed their food. Didn't capture photos since we had so many people in our party. Food the table ordered: avocado toast, maple bacon croissant sandwich, belgian waffle, fruit cup and oatmeal. The best was the maple bacon croissant sandwich. Give this a try! The coffee was pretty bitter. Would go back if in area. NOTE: no real maple syrup is served. Maybe you can request it? But that was a disappointment to one person in our party. read more

Everything about this place was terrific. Great food, great service, etc. After eating I used the men's room and witnessed a male employee use the stall (you know what I mean) and leave without washing his hands. . . ugh. I would love to go back, but I have the Seinfeld episode in my mind when he goes to dinner at his girlfriend's father's pizza place, Poppy's. read more

Does not follow simple ordering instructions. It should not be that difficult to get food with no bread.

I love First Watch. The food is always great, I love their juice bar, and the staff is super friendly. Also always busy so make sure to go in off hours if you don't want to wait! read more

First Watch - Sunrise juice! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

I had a wonderful experience at First Watch this morning. Meeting up with my coworker, her daughter, and my infant could have been a challenge, but from the moment we stepped in, we felt welcomed and attended to. The staff promptly seated us in a comfortable booth that even fit my infant's car seat. They kindly stored my stroller at the register, allowing us to enjoy our meal without any hassles. The service was great - our waitress suggested some specialty drinks/juices and between the 3 of us we each got one. I lovedddd my morning meditation juice very bright and earthy and not to mention beautiful! The food arrived quickly; I went for the Trifecta over easy eggs and multigrain pancake. My coworker ordered a Belgian waffle with bacon, while her daughter's Cobb Salad looked fresh and delicious. The restaurant had a chill ambiance and there was plenty of parking outside. The staff's attention was consistent, checking on us multiple times and chatting with us. (I guess everyone loves a newborn.) I'm genuinely appreciative of the First Watch team at this location. Their exceptional service and considerate approach made our get-together very enjoyable. I'm definitely planning on returning. A big thank you to everyone at First Watch for crafting such a welcoming setting and providing outstanding service. I can't wait to come back with the husband!

We went around 8 am on a Sunday morning. Staff were welcoming and service was fast. I understand it may get busier later. We had regular coffee but there were lots of beverage options like mimosas and bloody Mary's. Menu is varied with traditional and more unique offerings. I had lemon ricotta pancakes which were delicious! We shared the honey glazed bacon and it was amazing. Location is convenient for us. We'll be back there soon. read more

Delicious! There are so many healthy options. They are allergy aware and provide fantastic, professional service. This section of the 202 corridor desperately needed an updated and relevant breakfast/brunch option. Customized my order at my request, and the dish came out with a little 'food allergy' toothpick, to be sure correct allergen (citrus) was omitted. Thank you!!! read more

Oh I have mixed feelings. This First Watch is so conveniently located in the same plaza as Wegmans. The restaurant is spacious and has a big patio area. However, our most recent dining experience was not the greatest. We waited for forty minutes for our food after we had ordered. They messed up our order, and there was a hair in our hash. read more

The food is enjoyable enough that I went back to eat there again not three days later. The waitresses are working hard and friendly. Food come out hot and delicious. Have not been disappointed by them yet. Crew is top notch. And the food A+. Totally recommend. read more

Yesterday friends and I went out to breakfast at First Watch on Concord Pike, Wilmington, DE. We are all elderly. Two of us are severely hearing impaired, and one wears a hearing aid. We tried to have a serious discussion about some personal issues. The music was so loud it was impossible for us to hear each other and continue with our discussion. I asked the server if the volume of the music could PLEASE be turned down, as we could not hear each other! He said "No, that was not possible. When I said please, it is really uncomfortably loud and was making it impossible for us to have a conversation, he said "no" again. He explained that is the policy of the restaurant to keep the volume at the same level, at all times. I asked if that was the policy even when customers specifically request the volume please be turned down. He said there are no exceptions, that the volume is never changed under any circumstances! I told him we will definitely not be back. I'm sure he could care less. read more

I had the best lunch yesterday at First Watch, a newly opened restaurant on Concord Pike where Pier One used to be. It is clean, fresh, and fun. The food choices and menu are fresh and modern with interesting choices and combinations of salads, soups, and sandwiches without the price gouging that we witness lately. As for service, it was also perfect. My iced tea came with extra lemon and plenty of ice, which most wait staff ignores. But De'Andra listened and my drink was prepared the way I love it. I had a 1/2 ham sandwich on specialty bread, and a cup of delicious tomato basil soup presented in a lovely way. Savory and splendid. There was also a cool bar for people who want a mimosa or a bloody Mary with brunch. Ted Delong came over and shared some background about First Watch. This is a friendly place to go, great food, good people who seem to love their work. read more

The food is decent but the customer service was terrible. I came in there was no greeter at the checkout/ checkin desk. There was someone before me that was waiting and someone waiting to pay for her check. Several servers walked by us a few times and didn't acknowledge us or say "did someone help you'?" or "let me get someone to help you." I waited for about 6 min before going to get help. I had to go to the back, right outside of the kitchen, and asked "is anyone going to come out to seat people and let people pay for their food?" Then after they finally acknowledged me, it took 7 more minutes after being told your table for 1 is being cleaned off. After waiting for about more 7 minutes, I just walked out. The location needs a better processes with ensuring someone is also upfront to greet people and for cleaning off tables more expeditiously. read more

Amazing food that is dependable. Love their omelettes and salads. Service is always on par and the taste is delicious..

Just meh for us. We got take-out from here. Came in at 2:15 and sat for 15 minutes while they prepared our egg sandwiches with potatoes. Watched as they turned away incoming customers after the 2:30 closing time -- what a strange business model for a restaurant! Were still some folks eating at the tables inside so I guess they don't kick you out. Our food was greasy and not so tasty. Nice decor and cheerful staff but not sure we will try them again. Expensive. read more

The wait service was ok but could have been more prompt and accommodating The food that was served with eggs that were cold and the potatoes weren't thoroughly cooked but the multigrain toast with the jam was excellent! I found the space a little too compact and wouldn't be a pick to accommodate a large group read more
