Our first time at First Watch, we had a terrific server named Kala. She was very pleasant and attentive. Our breakfast was delicious and certainly we will be returning read more

I went here today, because I offered a friend who I have not seen in a while a birthday lunch, and she wanted to eat here. Not going to chain restaurants that much because of their high sodium and sugar levels, I was wary about coming here. I looked at their website online to carefully plan out my calories, and sodium & sugar levels. I ordered a banana granola pancake without syrup & butter, and with coffee. The pancake was so excellent, and the coffee at this chain restaurant was very good. The waitress bought out a coffee pot and left in on the table (standard thing here?), so I could refill it on my own. I appreciated it, because it makes it easier for me to get a coffee refill. The waitress was phenomenal. We ate outside, and it was clean. I would go back again. Great food and an excellent friend made my day! read more

The food at this restaurant is incredible! Always try a special before the menu. Great flavor combinations, great staff and very cute and clean restaurant! We live it here! The breakfast tacos are amazing! And the oatmeal. Never had such good oatmeal! You can't go wrong here. It's a must try. 5 stars!!!! read more

Very bad experience this past Sunday. - 10 full minutes before wait staff came to table. - Order Ham and Gruyère melt without tomato. - Came tomato only, over grilled bread. - Reorder used SAME over grilled bread this time came game only no gruyère. Gave up and ate for a disappointing experience. read more

Seated quickly on a Friday morning around 10:45. Restaurant was about 3/4 full. Ordered the Carnitas Quesadilla and Skillet Hash and both were very good with generous portions. Clean and pleasant environment. Great service from our server Jocelin!! read more

Meh. That is really all you need to hear from this review. They serve breakfast. The room is kind of sparsely decorated. Kind of bare and cold. Other locations in Florida are really good and we go all the time. But this one--meh. The coffee is kind of watery and bitter. Bacon--2 meager slices. Eggs--small and bland from some factory farm. Pancake--yeah, I guess. The service was friendly but not overly attentive. Overall, not terrible, not memorable--just.... meh. read more

The million dollar potatoes are some of the best damn things I've ever tasted. I get them with extra cheese sauce. read more

Came with a group. It wasn't crowded but had to wait in line behind people paying bills just to be seated. This took a long time. Server was okay. Cup of coffee is 3.99 and it arrived cool in the pot. How is that possible? Took a while for the meals to arrive, and when they finally arrived they were barely warm. Where were they being kept and for how long? Very disappointing. Then had to wait in line again to pay the bill, again a long time. It's pricey yet terrible. Could be great, but it fails at every single point of the process. Don't recommend, won't return. read more

First time going to this location for morning breakfast. The waiter was great. The food was brought out fast, temperature of the food was hot, and tasted good. The ambiance was nice, got booth seating. Could have gotten seating outside but my guest and I decided to dine inside. read more

Had yet another amazing brunch with our nephews at the First Watch at Buckley Mill Rd. The blueberry cornbread, shrimp n grits, burrito n salad were all good. Soecial mention of our favorite waiter, Dylan. He is always so professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all our questions regarding ingredients ( one of our nephews has multiple allergies) so well that we all could enjoy our meals without any worries. We like our sunday brunches especially when Dylan is our waiter! Good food, friendly service in a casual atmosphere. read more

This is a review for online ordering services only. I was in the mood for pancakes and upon noticing the Newark location had an hr wait, I remembered this new location and luckily the wait for pick up was only 22 mins. Placing an order online was seamless: I picked the trifecta which gives you an option of waffle/pancake, eggs any style and choice of breakfast meat. I selected the lemon ricotta pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs. The restaurant is pretty tiny, even the bar area cannot hold many patrons. The outdoor dining however looks like it can accommodate much more which will be nice in spring/summer. I was a little late picking up my order but they have a designated area for online orders/DoorDash/etc so I was able to grab and go and it was ready when I arrived. Overall I enjoyed the meal: the bacon is amazing ! Very good quality. The eggs were fluffy and tasty and the pancakes are huge, although I wanted them to be lighter..since I had to reheat them I will give this a pass. My total was $13 and change... there was a $2 up-charge for lemon ricotta and not sure if it was worth it for some strawberries and lemon curd. Next time I'll eat in and opt for their standard flapjacks. read more

Got in line at 10:50 and was given a 30 minute wait - sat down at 11:25. It took 15 minutes for a server to greet us, and it is now 12:18 and the food has not arrived. This restaurant is SEVERELY understaffed. The restroom is in dire need of attention - with toilet paper and paper towels littering the floor. Moreover, I literally watched a server use the bathroom, then stand by the sink and use her phone, and then return to work without washing her hands. In short, we will not return. I have wasted 1.5 hours on a mediocre brunch that I'll never recover. read more

Great place, casual ambiance, the waitress I had gave great service, and the food was pretty good. Our server was Alicia and she was very kind and funny. I ordered an omelette with potatoes and the omelette was fantastic, though I'm personally not a fan of some spice that's in the potatoes. The coffee here is fantastic though. I also got the ginger cinnamon donut hole things which were delicious. Would definitely recommend! read more

This first watch by Wegman's has a very large patio so it's great to sit there and eat brunch in summer. We've really been trying very hard to like this place, but each time we went, we got disappointed. Their food was like meh, quite subpar compared to other first watch restaurants. Their service was slow. The waitress remembered our orders wrong, etc. I do not recommend. read more

The absolute worst service we ever encountered. The restaurant was only maybe half filled- we waited maybe 5 minutes to get waited on- they took another 5 minutes to get us 2 glasses of ice team and water. Gave the waitress our order. About 30 minutes later - she said our order was coming out. Asked if we would like some more ice tea - which never came 5 more minute - I'm guessing she was a manager - asked us if everything was ok - we told her we had been waiting to get get for over a half hour she left - 5 minutes later - waitress came out - told us again the food was on its way - still no drinks- 5 more minutes passed - we got up and left and went to Wegmans to eat. Will never ever go to FW again. There were 3 of us nothing complicated was ordered. 1 person wanted a bowl of soup, one ordered a sandwich and soup. And I ordered one of their specials. O read more

Why is the service here consistently awful? The staff walks around looking busy but can I even get a cup of coffee? Apparently not.

It's the TGI Fridays of brunch. Wait was long, service was good. Menu was a little bloated, like every dish has a little too much going on. read more

Always amazing. It's busy but I've had many different options and it's tasty. Sometimes small mistakes but it's about the quality and flavor. Million dollar bacon is the best and they always have features on the menu. read more

Been here several times. Food has always been decent but customer service leaves room for improvement. Staff can be dismissive of questions. I've also noticed the staff NEVER answer phones. When I have called I wait on hold until I'm hung up on. This location frequently does not offer online ordering or take out. read more

WHATS GOOD: Outdoor dining space is covered overhead and they installed heaters, So if you'd like to eat outside good spot. Staff: friendly and helpful Menu: Has diverse choices WHAT CAN USE SOME IMPROVEMENTS: - Pancakes tasted like bacon/ham. It was hard to enjoy the light flavors of blueberry pancakes when a bit overwhelmed by meat. flavor. I would think people are vegetarian or vegan or people that don't eat pork for religious reasons would freak out. Seems like an easy fix. -Tea - It was really nice that they gave you a craft of hot water however the water taste like coffee. - Restaurant could use some more healthier options on their menu. read more

I had the best waffle of my life at this place a few weeks back. Waitress was great; outdoor seating was unseasonably chilly but we chose to sit there, so that's on us. I think I'd want to try it a second time before doling out the five-star treatment...it was a bit of a shame there wasn't real maple syrup on the waffle from heaven. It's on the short list to go again, though. read more

I've been here twice, the first time we came here I was with my family and it took 5 minutes for us to be seated. However, the waitress we had was very slow, it's like playing find Waldo. She would walk away and you wouldn't see her for another 5-10 minutes. However, the food is good and that's probably the only good thing about this place. We went again today, and again the service was terrible. All of our food came out at once, the appetizers and our meals. However, when we were at the register paying for our bill the staff weren't too polite and seemed careless. read more

I love eating here , but every time I order the million dollar bacon it's burnt . I ate my food inside today and my waitress was kind enough to grab another cooked bacon . My potatoes for my son were very dry , but great as always . read more

Excellent service, good food, reasonably priced. It was quiet where we were seated. Will likely return.

Nice place, decent food, EXPENSIVE! I have a few breakfast favorites, 3 eggs scrambled with cheese, bacon, wheat toast, home fries.. pretty normal breakfast. Newport Restaurant $12, Goobers $13, First Watch $21! Really?! Newport Restaurant food is better and nearly half the price! read more

Our 1st visit to the new Greenville, DE location. Was not impressed. Yes, the place is clean...it's new. The staff all seemed young with minimal training. The staff who waited on us were very nice & polite, but not very attentive to the only 10-15 total customers. After being seated, we were passed a few times by waitresses, finally one asked if we'd been waited on...No, not yet. We ordered the Soup & 1/2 sandwich. We both ordered Wedding soup with 1/2 turkey club sandwich. We were served vegetable soup loaded w/corn, that neither of us can eat, & not the Wedding soup we ordered. Our sandwiches were made with what I would call "processed deli meat" turkey that was not appealing at all. We've been to another First Watch near Quakertown, PA, & it was much better, better wait staff, service & better quality of food. We will try another visit for breakfast, & I'll make final judgment whether to return at that time, but, I probably won't go out of my way to make that happen. read more

I hope your hungry, for nothing. First time in my life I've been on a waitlist and they decide to stop seating, and close 45 minutes early because they were busy. Told the people that were on the waitlist too bad. The wait for a table was 15 minutes. That's not bad. Some restaurants have a 45 minute wait for a table every Friday and Saturday night. Hope they enjoyed getting out of work almost an hour early while the hungry guests had to drive somewhere else and start the process over. Well done. Could of stopped seating but still sat the guests that had been waiting. read more

We had a positive first experience here on a weekend morning. I believe it was the first weekend after they opened. we've been to the location in Newark and were excited to see this one was open. We put our name in ahead of driving over, but drove pretty much immediately over there and got a table right away. All of the food was great and our server was nice. I enjoy that they'll drop a pot of coffee off at the table and bring flavored creamers out automatically. This is a good new option, our area really needed it. read more

1. Service -poor 2. Food NOT Fresh Brown and black Spotted Avocado-freezer burned "fresh berries in heavy syrup " nothing natural or locally sourced about it. This place was totally fraudulent! I will NOT be back but that is okay they had enough customers that drink the DR cool-aid. read more

Have been to this new location twice. The interior is modern and clean. The first visit the restaurant was staffed with corporate support for the launch. It was very well staffed and running smoothly. The second visit was understaffed (no hostess) and our waitress was trying to seat, check out customers and serve! We were told the manager was in the back of the house! Why? Why? The food is quite good. We have had the steel cut oatmeal, the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, and the French toast. All were delicious! We will be back:) read more

Lovely facility!! I love the waffles and pancakes and food is served great! We got a table right away and the service was amazing. The place is decorated nicely and the vibes are good. read more

We visited the First Watch location at Barley Mill on tuesday, March 21st. We greeted the hostess ( Dana) but her response was "how many? She walked us to our table , dropped the menus and turned ro walk away . We thought maybe a bad day. We watched her seat an elderly couple . She walked to the table again dropped the menus and turned to walk away before they had even got there. They had to stop her to ask where they were seated. She responded " the table where the menus are". Our server Cody aplogized to us . Thanks to him our experience was turned around. This was our first time there. read more

It was fine. Not enough choice for a person with food allergies or sensitivities. Got the meal slightly modified, but wasn't such a good value then. read more

Food: Well prepared for a brand new location of First Watch. Minor kinks will surely be worked out once kitchen finds its rhythm. Service: Young and eager to please staff. Support staff (bussers) need coaching in finding the passion to be part of a team. Ambience: will visit a few more times to determine consistency of the ambience. Minor notes: - I continued to get text messages because hostess did not check us in. Could be annoying. - cold sides - check being dropped while still eating - had to wait in line to pay check. Hostess had to seat others and cash us out by front door read more

The ambiance and cleanliness of the new location is great! Its right up the road from us so perfect spot for a quick breakfast or lunch! There were a few hiccups in the service. There were 3 of us and the server took over 15 min to greet us and only served in twos. Only got 2 water glasses, 2 coffee mugs and constantly had to ask for the basics. We finally put our food order in and once again, there was no unison in the service. 2 of us got our food and my boyfriend waited 10 or so extra minutes for his food. We asked for a 3rd water glass multiple times only to have to track down another server. We actually had to track down everyone but our server as he was not attentive at all to such basic service needs. Overall, our server seemed very scattered and wanted nothing to do with us. read more
