This particular First Watch is s good representation of thr brand and a great place to grab breakfast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service is friendly and the place has a great ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I remember once upon a time when it seemed that if you wanted to go grab breakfast, the standard was a greasy-spoon type diner. Now with First Watch and other similar restaurants, you have a more upscale vibe to enjoy your breakfast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely recommend here. read more

Service and food at this location are always consistently great. You are always greeted as soon as you walk up by someone holding the door open for you. Such a nice welcoming touch. The fact that you get a carafe of water and coffee just for your table is such a nice touch as well. Took my mom for breakfast she had the salmon eggs Benedict that she said was fantastic. I had the trifecta. I get the apple chicken sausage scramble eggs and pancake. I love their pancakes. My children always ask to come here for breakfast so it's a hit with three generations in our family. read more

First Watch is one of our regular spots and it's always solid. This location is super consistent, right behind Disney property. Food comes out hot, service is quick but not rushed, and everyone is genuinely nice. It doesn't feel like a fast diner, but you're also not waiting forever, which is the best combo. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Space is always clean & great for groups![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Over time I've tried a lot of the menu, but I definitely have my go-tos. The BEC is my favorite whenever it's available (still mad it's seasonal). I usually add the loaded Million Dollar Potatoes as a side, which are unreal. Million Dollar Bacon is addicting! I also rotate between the Strawberry Tres Leches french toast, raspberry ricotta french toast (seasonal), AM superfoods bowl, the chickichanga, and the chile chorizo omelet. On days I'm not in the mood for breakfast food, I always go for the half roast beef sandwich with the daily soup, which is such an underrated option. I always get the kale tonic fresh juice. It's really refreshing and doesn't taste fake or overly sweet. We usually ask for Hannah as our server and she's great every time. She's kind, attentive, and always on top of things. First Watch is just reliable. Good food, good people, and a menu you don't get tired of. read more

Always love visiting First Watch - [[HIGHLIGHT]]the decor of the restaurant is cozy and bright[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the service is always fantastic, and the food is delicious. A perfect spot to get a hearty breakfast / brunch that won't make you feel gross and over full. Their juices are delicious and I highly recommend getting the blueberry lemon cornbread for the table! When I go, I usually get one of their hashes - seasoned potatoes with roasted veggies, fresh eggs and cheese. This was my choice for my birthday breakfast this year and it was such a good way to kick off a new year of life. read more

I enjoy eating at First Watch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The establishments are always clean and the service is always friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I usually order the A.M. Superfoods bowl, however, this time i tried their limited time menu item the B.E.C (bacon egg & cheese). It sure was an interesting spin on the traditional B.E.C sandwich, but i did enjoy it. I think it is a nice addition to their menu. There are peppers on the sandwich which gave it a nice surprise to the traditional sandwich. read more

Came to this location after a very early flight arrival, arrived just after 7am. Was greeted immediately and sat promptly. Coffee is served in your own tables pot so refills are easy; btw the mugs are a good size which is nice. We ordered off the seasonal menu which was a vast selection; we got "The B.E.C." Sandwich which was nice but the bread was a little on the greasy side. Came with a side of spring mix which I didn't eat as salad for breakfast is not my thing, would have like a choice for an alternative. Service was friendly and prices were on the high side as two sandwiches cost us $40 without tip. read more

Been here many times and always happy with the food and the service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very much a breakfast spot so think families and friends having vibrant convo over eggs and coffee kinda spot. Great for groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And if you are not an early riser, try and grab a reservation to reduce your wait. Oh, and they close in the afternoon so plan accordingly. I opted for the biscuits and gravy with a side of the million dollar bacon. This bacon is amazing! It's sweet and savory and thick cut. Bacon lovers dream! The biscuits and gravy were pretty good! Solid Biscuit, gravy was a bit watery but flavorful. And they use turkey sausage. Eggs and potatoes were decent. Solids 8/10 experience. Would absolutely return and recommend. read more

I'm a regular at several First Watch locations, and overall, I love their consistent menu and solid quality across the board. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This particular visit was my first time at this location, and while it looked and felt just like the others (which is a good thing), the service experience left a little to be desired.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty quiet--only about three other families were dining in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Despite that, we ended up standing at the hostess stand for over five minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. It wasn't busy enough for that kind of delay. Our server was professional but very straightforward--none of the warm, welcoming vibe I've come to expect from First Watch staff. That said, our food came out quickly and tasted great, just like I've come to expect from the brand. Prices are about average for breakfast/lunch spots, which is fair given the quality. I'll definitely keep visiting First Watch, but I'd hope for a more attentive and friendly experience at this location next time. read more

First watch for my boo and I is a FL fave. Quick, healthy (or not), unique, it's a regular favorite. We know what we are getting. Great coffee, and I love that they keep a pot at your table (like ihop). The server mistook our order and was apologetic and got our second round quick and it was nice a fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can get busy but it's open and spacious and not too noisy so that is very nice... despite the crowd it doesn't feel like it at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I like their quinoa bowl... healthy and nutritious read more

They are popular and for good reason. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In restaurant, reasonably good service (unless they are really busy, then it kinda goes down the pot), excellent coffee, pretty nice environment, and decent food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But, here's where that part ends and the delivery story paints a very different story. TWICE, I've received an incomplete order. TWICE, I've had to return to complete my own order which negates the tip and convenience of delivery. ONCE, I was promised they would make amends or give me a couple bucks off (that's literally all that was offered). Second time, no call back from the manager. Said they were too busy and were sorry. It gets even worse. I gave my number to the manager from the first incident. She said she noted it for my next visit. We went in for that yummy coffee and pancakes. I asked for her and she literally responded with, "DoorDash orders are not our responsibility. I don't have anything saying we made that mistake." I told you what the pros are because they are pros for sure, but why 1 star v 2 or even 3? Think how arrogant or just plain ignorant a restaurant manager must be to think, "OUR FAULT, NOT OUR PROBLEM." You will enjoy the coffee and pancakes, you WON'T enjoy the potatoes which are coated and buried in salt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You will enjoy the hipster vibe of the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You WON'T enjoy the delivery service. They either don't care or just don't feel treating local customers right is beneficial to them. This location, their management, and delivery is a hard pass for sure. read more

Friday morning, no wait and the place was half empty, I was very surprised lol. Was sat right away, and was met by server right away. Very friendly and quick. I got the biscuits and turkey sausage gravy, 2 eggs and potatoes. Was excellent as always! This place is a must, I use to go every weekend but it had been Swahili and it hasn't missed a step. I'll be back very soon. Highly recommended. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It reminds me of the local diners back home which is another reason I love it. Very comfortable, small and just great[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is the perfect place to get brunch for the weekend or just a healthy lunch on a busy workday. Their food is always super tasty, fresh and very creative. I like going here and ordering either at salad Panini or the specialty of the season because they put extravagant cheese, different greens and seasonal fruits. If you get a cake only get one because they're pretty big. The staff and servers are always extremely nice and they try to accommodate all requests. The atmosphere is very family and friends oriented, is peaceful and relaxed... really with the feel of gathering to enjoy a nice meal! I like to go every time I get a chance read more

Solid. Open. No wait at 9am on a Wednesday! Loved the prompt service, immediate coffee needs met and the order taken when we were ready. Why can't all places be like this? Meals came out quickly, just like we ordered. Why can't this always happen? Server checked on us frequently but not overly hovering- enough that if we needed something we could ask before being impatient! We got the standard breakfasts - fresh cracked scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes for me and grits for hubby. Fruit jam was good. Go back? Certainly! What's not to love about this? Withholding a star for that exceptional memory of something fantastical. read more

I have been on a huge First Watch kick; I can't get enough!! I will often pick up breakfast on my way home from the gym or when I'm just being too lazy to cook in the morning. My go-to favorite is their avocado toast. I've had a lot of different avocado toasts but theirs is just amazing!! Their giant pancakes are also great and my boyfriend's fave. I also love their kale tonic. I am always a little skeptical the first time I try juices because I am picky with them, but theirs is so good and such a great alternative to my morning coffee! The atmosphere here is great. I haven't sat down to eat because it is always packed (for good reason), but the inside is so cute and has a great vibe. Picking up after you order on their website is super easy as well. My food is always right there waiting for me! I have never had a bad experience here and I highly recommend! read more

First Watch is a great option for breakfast lovers! The avocado toast is my go to although I have tried several dishes and all have been great! My fiancé loves the tri-athlete breakfast.

We've been ordering delivery from this location a few times since COVID. We used to eat there in person before that. I have to say, whoever is handling their takeout really needs to review before giving the orders the green light. Almost every single order we've received has had an error. I kept telling my partner there's no way I will order from them again bc I refuse to have my order missing things, just not worth it. However, I caved today because I've been craving chicken salad and I noted that they offer that. I had never had their lunch items before and since their breakfast is always getting messed up and also they don't allow any modifications on UberEATS to the breakfast (big annoyance to me sorry), so I was nervous. However the chicken salad melt was really good. It comes with a choice of side- tomato soup or salad. I did the soup, which was pretty good. If you are into the creamy kind of tomato soup, this isn't it. But it's good. I'm happy to say, no mess ups this time. So I'm thinking in the future I'm going to stick to lunch items at breakfast. read more

The wrap is delicious, flavorful and the potatoes are a little too salty. I love their kale tonic, so refreshing. I didn't give them 5 stars because they forgot my side of pico de gallo. I was really excited to put it on my wrap which makes it even tastier. read more

So my eggs Benedic was why I did. I'm glad I didn't do anything spicy. My bread was extremely burnt. I couldn't drink the water had chlorine in it. Our server was not checking in on us. This was the most embarrassing part, one of the servers, claimed as we sat in the car, that we didn't pay yet I did right before we left online, i saved it didn't close it. We felt so embarrassed, he didn't do anything to make up for it went back inside. Didn't offer comps for saying we didn't pay the bill. I had to SHOW him on my phone I paid, did a tip. I felt so uncomfortable will not be going back. Like that was the worst experience and we have been coming to this location for a bit a year or so if not more. But this incident ruined it for us. My husband was even angry, and he saw me pay it on my cell, and the manager didn't even come out to apologize for that. Never again. read more

Came here with some coworkers for a quite bite before we started. We all tried something off the seasonal menu- the modern Croque Madame for me, the corned beef hash for one other and the pumpkin pancakes for the last. We also all had to sample a bite of each other's.... Wow! These were all so yummy! The hash had a good balance between the corned beef and additional herbs, and the Parmesan sauce was wonderful. The pumpkin pancakes (which were available alone, as my dining companion happily learned after inquiring, as she wasn't as hungry this visit) were loaded with flavor- a very good balance between spices, though very cinnamon forward; the maple syrup definitely added to how delicious this was! My croque madame was requested to have no tomatoes, and they accommodated wonderfully. The challah bread was soft and pillowy, but held up well even when it had absorbed some of the runny egg with every bite (exactly what I love about a croque madame!). I also really enjoyed the purple haze drink I got, which was a refreshing yet comforting drink with lemon and lavender in a good balance without being overly sweet or cloying. The side salad with my sandwich was lightly dressed, and good though admittedly I left most of it. I did add a bit of the greens to bites of my sandwich, which allowed the greens to stay crisp instead of getting limp on the warm sandwich. All in all, a great experience. It seemed that our waitress was stretched a bit thin, but we did go for a 10am breakfast on a weekday so I doubt it was expected to be busy. There were also quite a few larger groups which I understand demand more attention. Excited to go back and try other items on the menu that drew my attention, but I have a hard time turning down a croque Monsieur or madame! read more

This is our favorite First Watch! The food I consistently great and the staff are so friendly!! Ask for Merra when you go! She is the best!! Parking can be a little tricky as the parking lot is shared with an urgent care and several other businesses. Use the app to secure a place in line. There is a beautiful outside covered seating area. There are GF options. What would make them a 5 star, to me, would be if they offered GF pancakes and additional GF items. Also, the parking could be better and that can be frustrating... read more

I have been going to this First Watch for almost 10 years, and have always experienced superb service. I decided to take my son here today for his bday breakfast/brunch, around 1 pm. Since my daughter and I had an early breakfast, we chose to share a plate. I don't know if it was because of us sharing a plate or another 'mis-characterization', but our server HANNAH treated us so poorly. She rushed the entire experience, didn't ask if we wanted more water. Dropped the check and didn't ask if we needed anything else. We had to stop her as she was walking back just to ask for a box. As my son's breakfast bowl was clearly untouched, any server would have seen that and offered. She came back w/ a small bowl which she hastily put on the table and then quickly walked back to the kitchen as if we were a bother. We were all in shock as to why she was acting this way. We then see her in the kitchen talking to the staff, they all look our way and start laughing. My son had to grab another box himself to box the rest of his leftovers. I am appalled and in shock, we were nothing but kind to her. I have never in my life been made to feel so little. I will never come here again. read more

We love this first watch and had great service from our waitress! I definitely would recommend for a sit down brunch. If you're looking for a fast meal this is not the spot. The restaurant is a pretty typical atmosphere shabby chique farmhouse aesthetic it's not a brunch to impress but it is a consistently good and fun place to go on a date or with your family after church on a Sunday! read more

Carne asada hash is definitely worth trying, a lot of flavor that mixes well. Our waiter Yassine brought everything we needed and was quick.

My family and I love first watch and our experience this past Sunday was amazing! Our server was Alix and right from the start I knew we were great hands on a busy Sunday, she promptly greeted us and brought us our drinks and she was very knowledgeable of the menu and readily answered any questions we had. Our food came out very quick and hot! Everything looked and tasted amazing as usual! Alix made our experience very welcoming and she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. She was amazing! We will definitely be back to this location in Windermere and we will be asking for Alix to be our server and I highly suggest you do the same! read more

This is the best First Watch! While they all have the same menu and general vibe, this First Watch has something that the others don't- Leah! She is a fantastic server and has a great personality- she is a shining light in a dark world.

I've worked in hospitality for decades and this girl is incredible- she's got a gift! Thanks for everything, Leah, we really appreciate you! read more

Ate here two days in a row for breakfast. Do you think we liked it or what!? The service was great as always. There was no wait on a Saturday morning. I had the Biscuits & Gravy. They make it with turkey - it takes more wholesome and less fatty. It doesn't have the chunks of meat that you are typically used to. My scrambled eggs were a bit dry, but overall, it was a very good dish! Definitely love this place. read more

I really like the interior decor of this place, with high, modern ceilings, and large walls of glass. It's much nice than the other First Watches I've been to, and also the competitors. I have to confess that I'm a bit old school as far as breakfast, and I actually prefer most of the items at coffee shops to here, but there are some more heathful options that are interesting. The veggie omelet is a good choice, for example. The staff was friendly and service was quick. read more

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a breakfast at First Watch, a delightful spot known for its healthy and delicious offerings. The grits and shrimp dish was a standout choice on the menu, and I can see why it's a favorite among diners. The creamy, comforting grits were perfectly cooked and served as the ideal base for the succulent, perfectly seasoned shrimp. The combination of flavors and textures was absolutely fantastic, and I found myself savoring every bite. I truly hope they bring this dish back soon, as it was a true highlight of my dining experience at First Watch. Service is always good. It's always feels good to eat from First Watch. The ambience is always great. read more

Haven't been for a few weeks. Not sure if management has changed or what, but it was really off yesterday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Weather has been in the forties, but they had the a/c blasting. We had to change seats to try and get out of the draft[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Server just commented, "Well, it is a restaurant". No kidding, but really didn't want to eat in the freezer. Asked what the soup was. Italian wedding, husband's favorite. Orders that and half a sandwich. Eventually, a woman comes over to inform us they are out of the soup. He wouldn't have ordered had he k[[HIGHLIGHT]]nown. Ends up with vegetable. Not a happy camper. Now, the entire time there is a group with three small children. There is silverware thrown all over the floor, they are allowing the baby (maybe 18 months) to slide all over the floor and the two boys to have races from the front of the restaurant to the back. They nearly ran into two of the servers. Management just ignored them[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Lucky that they didn't plow into any of the several elderly people sitting nearby. Probably won't go back to this one. Couple of other locations we can go to. read more
