I wish I was able to speak good about this first watch settlement, sadly what I can say is that I am not coming back here, after driving from far away a because they had no wait time to sit down, and then getting there and of course I did get in line through their app, as soon as I get there they sat us down and that was it, after being 30 minutes or more outside without a little bit of attention we decided to leave, we sat outside since we have a puppy, and they never came outside to even bring a little water for anyone, it was more than disappointing going somewhere and not receiving any type of service, I would have preferred for them to tell me they were not available at the time than sit me outside until I got tired of waiting while I was hungry, thanks for nothing. read more

Had a great and delicious breakfast at the Windermere location. You have to ask for Haley when you come in... she's the best server ever! Found out she's actually their corporate trainer so you know she's good. She just does all the extra mile stuff that makes each visit here special. I was happy we were able to get right on Saturday because of course they are packed on the weekends. Their food is extremely fresh and super delicious. Me and my son both had the ultimate omelette. It is stuffed with real whole pieces of bacon and sausage and much more. Their cheese grits are fabulous and loaded with creamy gooey cheese. The coffee is delicious and fresh and they give you a while carafe. Even their strawberry jelly is fresh made. They also make fresh juices in house. I had a side of fruit that was delectable as well. Follow me on instagram sweet_maloy. Restaurant is always very clean and has a happy and positive vibe. There is ample parking and indoor and outdoor seating. Bottom line is we will absolutely definitely return. read more

I absolutely love the new First Watch in Windermere! It's super close to home and Disney, the decor is fresh and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly! My friend invited me to breakfast last week and I've been back a few times already! He loves it and goes almost EVERY morning! It really is a nice, relaxing way to start your morning. The times I've gone, it's been around 8am. The place isn't that crowded yet as it's only been open a few weeks. Enjoy the peace of a nice early breakfast while you can. I've started off each meal with coffee and pumpkin spice creamer. Love the pumpkin spice!!! I've tried an old favorite of mine, the Elevated Egg Sandwich which was just as good if not better than I've had in the past. The other times, I've had the Truffled Wild Mushroom Frittata which is one of their fall seasonal items. The freshness of the ingredients and the seasonings they use in the dish are delicious. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes eggs. The service is especially outstanding. A huge shoutout to Noella and Queen. Queen, you have a shining personality!!! Thank you for your positive attitude and amazing customer service. There's no doubt I'll be a frequent First Watch-goer!!! Plus, Starbucks is opening right next door. Pretty much gonna be my new close-to-home/work hangout. read more

Went to First Watch for breakfast at this new location and it was sublime. The service was impeccable, everyone smiled and greeted you in a way that made you feel like you were an old friend. The decor is very trendy and rustic, imagine if Joanna Gaines designed a restaurant. Got the pumpkin pancake (seasonal) and it was amazing. The eggs were fresh, the potatoes were cooked to perfection and the bacon was impeccably made. Our server Erin was sweet, prompt and accurate (honestly looking for where she keeps her halo), and even when she was tending to other tables there was no shortage of people to clear our plates and check on us. Will definitely come back here! read more

Let me start off with saying this: at every First Watch I've been too, the food is always incredible. Also at every First Watch I've been too, the service is always horrible. I've been to several - Orlando, Nashville and Pittsburgh and it's the exact same story. Most recently went to this location with my husband and and my two siblings who were in visiting. It was a Friday around noon and we were seated quickly. After a few minutes our waitress came over and asked "are y'all ready?" No, "hello, how are you guys, do you need help with the menu, need recommendations", etc. Obviously we needed a few minutes as my siblings wanted to make sure they read through the entire menu. We finished deciding and waited far too long for her to come back and take our order. Whatever. We got our food and it was incredible. My sister and I got the biscuits and gravy that comes with home fries and eggs how you like them, my husband got the lemon ricotta pancakes, and my brother got the chocolate chip pancakes. Everything was fresh and delicious, only complaint with the food, which I guess is a complaint for the cook, is that my sister clearly said she wanted scrambled eggs and instead she got eggs over hard. Our waitress only ever checked up on us once during the whole meal. My brother asked for a refill and she never got it for him, instead a waiter clearing tables saw his glass was empty and quickly refilled it. That waiter did more for us than our waitress did during our whole experience because he asked if we were all good! I couldn't even tell you which waitress it was because she didn't give her name. The whole time it felt like she was trying to rush our brunch and it wasn't even that busy. Will I come back because the food is fantastic? Absolutely. Will I expect the same crappy service at every First Watch? Absolutely, as it seems to be the norm. read more

Our server, the food, always fantastic. One thing I couldn't ignore since its the middle of a pandemic was that none of the food prep workers were wearing masks correctly. We addressed this with the manager but the fact that none of the back kitchen workers complied made us a bit nervous to come back until Covid is gone read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Windermere, Florida

The food is good, but the service is brutal. The service was marginal before the pandemic and now is awful. I don't believe it is the servers fault, I don't think there is enough of them for the Sunday rush, plus I never see the manager. Always a lot of apologies from the staff and no manger insight. If u have time and can wait a while then go because the food is good. But if ur looking not to wait forever, go somewhere else until they add more staff, particularly on a Sunday. read more

First watch always has a good breakfast. Get there early if you don't want to wait! The interior of this one is farm house style, very cute. Service was good and food was tasty. Relative to other breakfast spots in the area the price is comparable. I have never had a bad meal here, would definitely recommend it. If you show up after 9:30 or so on the weekend just be prepared to wait. read more

The food was excellent especially the million dollar bacon. Service was friendly fast and very enjoyable. Well managed business. Enjoyable and lovely. Will come again read more

Don't order for delivery. We live across the street and every time we order through UberEats it estimates 10-20 minutes but the moment you hit submit it immediately changes to 40-60 minutes. They are clearly playing games with there times to get more orders. It's a shame because the food is good. read more

My wife and I have been to this new location five times. Every time we go, they drastically undercook her eggs. She asks for them to be over medium and every time she mentions that they have messed up previously. Today we told the waitress the eggs were undercooked and they brought new eggs and guess what...they were over easy again!!! We loved the other location on Daniels and have been there a lot of times and never had this issue. Today, I asked to speak with the manager. He was super inexperienced and actually told me that they cook their eggs to the "corporate standard". Lol what is that? Eggs are cooked certain ways just like steaks are cooked to a certain temperature. This doesn't deviate from restaurant to restaurant...and as mentioned the other location never had this problem...so maybe they are deviating from their "corporate standard". Lol. Other than undercooking her eggs at each visit, we love the proximity to our home and she's a huge fan of the avocado toast. Just wish they can learn how to cook eggs before we give up and make Kiki's our new breakfast spot of choice. I want to point out that our waitress did write up the order correctly, the issue is with the kitchen. read more

First Watch - "Over medium" eggs...which to these guys mean over easy for some reason. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Windermere, Florida

Service was very slow, there was a lack of detail from our waitress. We had to ask 2 different waitresses for half and half. My food came out 10 minutes after the rest of my family food. The explanation I received was because I asked for gluten free toast. Once I receive my toast, it was cold and untoasted. It took an additional 10 minutes to get my slice of toast which was just as cold as the first time. I would have liked to love first watch, it's the little things make me a returning customer. I'm hoping it will be better for future customers. read more

Awesome breakfast. I am coming back for this bowl again. Soon!!!! I would also want to taste the avocado toast. Looks amazing read more

First Watch - Acai bowl with almond butter toast. Yummmmmmm - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Windermere, Florida

Stopped in for lunch a few days ago with some co-workers (about 8 of us) and had a great experience. We were seated quickly and in a spacious area where we were comfortable and a good distance away from the other patrons. We were given menus and offered coffee immediately and were able to order, eat and pay in record time. Our waitress even went the extra mile and fixed a fresh coffee for me when I requested a to go cup for my coffee. The decor was exceptionally pretty for a breakfast restaurant, clearly allot of thought was put into it. The food was pretty good. I had the mushroom and truffle frittata with arugula but switched out the lemon dressing for a honey mustard one due to an allergy and everything tasted great. We will definitely be back! read more

Very pleasant employees. But the seating attempt to keep people distant from other parties isn't even being attempted. The restaurant is only 1/4 full but each table is being sat next to each other while the rest of the restaurants tables are left empty. Even asked to move to a table away from others (one table space between) then immediately a party of 4 was set right next to us while the other 3/4 of the restaurant was still empty. read more

the food is amazing and there flavors go extremely well together , my children always ask me to go there , the place is very clean , and the waiters are so nice and kind . It's our favorite restaurant !! read more

Usually love First Watch, but I usually visit the Winter Garden location. My first time at this location was less than satisfactory. The waitress was extremely unattentative and disinterested. Our drinks were often empty, and she only really stopped by to take the order, drop the food, then immediately leave the check. Also, as a waitress myself, I typically don't charge someone twice for drinks if they ordered one that was refillable and then switched to another refillable drink. All I ate was a chocolate chip pancake which I ended up leaving over half because other food (like lettuce or something green) had clearly been mixed in with the pancake batter. Sadly just not a good experience and I probably won't return. read more

My husband and I absolutely LOVE coming to this First Watch. We always have great food and great service. I also love the decor. Our server was Katie. If you ever have an opportunity to go to First Watch in Winderemere, ask for Katie. She always has a great smile and will treat you well. l. read more

First Watch - If you ever have a chance, check out the Lemon Blueberry Quinoa Pancakes (I like my condiments on the side). They are delicious - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Windermere, Florida

We came to this restaurant for breakfast and joined the wait list (i highly suggest) before arriving, so we were waiting for about 10 minutes during peak time. At this location in Champions Gate, they were not following social distancing. I mean, this place was packed with not an empty table in sight! Our waitress was very kind though and gave us suggestions on the menu. We didn't wait long for our food either. It was kinda pricey, but it did taste good! read more

Gr8t breakfast!!! Gr8t brunch drinks service was top notch I really enjoyed this place I will certainly visit again

Avoid this spot during busy times. The staff and management have a hard time handling busyness. Sat at table after 40 minutes of waiting. 20 more minutes without service. When served food was not to par of usual service. Been here quite often. I was not the only person complaining that day. Went on New Year's Day. I could say yes it was a special day, yet managed improperly. read more

Always a great breakfast. Love the granola pancakes, but you get a lot of pancake. One filled me up!

This is definitely my go-to breakfast place, I love all the food. The pancakes are huge and the million dollar bacon is amazing! Me and my wife go at least once a week. We're here today and our server Queen is awesome. If you go definitely request her, she definitely will make your morning brighter. read more

I came this place many times, and every time made me unhappy, this time will be the last time, because after I ordered the food and drink, the drink came fast, and the food waited for a long time, I think 15mins, and only 3 tables including me. And the check came with the same time, after that no body came to my table, I wanna Togo my drink, and no body see and help, i was so angry then paid my check and ask for a drink Togo cup in cashier!winter garden village first watch is so good and everybody so nice, I think u need to learn! Bad experience!!!! read more

The food here is delicious. Have tried the Avocado Toast with eggs, and the Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos. Always delicious. One person in our party builds their own breakfast from the sides (potato's, English Muffin and meats etc) and they say it's always yummy. The service here is always great. read more

EDIT..10.13.2019 See my review and their response. Lip service at best. Surprise surprise, no response to my emaill. Obviously a token gesture..... Dont come this morning Very short staffed. Menu are scattered on the table when you get in, you wait 5 mins for the coffee pot and then have to find your own mugs...chaos. Wished we went to Keke's or Dixie Cream read more

Awesome quality food. The place a great. Great friendly staff. 20 min wait on Saturday morning not bad a all.

I've been to many First Watch locations over the years, and was happy to learn that one would be opening around the corner from my house. We visited on a Monday morning and were greeted and seated promptly. The dining area was clean and our server was quick to take our orders. I ordered the avocado toast and was very pleased with it. Word of warning: the iced coffee is already mixed with cream and sugar. read more

Third time was a charm. This time I took my mom with me to see if they have improved. Glad to say they have. We were seated quickly and our server took our drink order. I went with the Red Medicine. This is a fruit juice blend of Pomegranate, cranberry, black tea, honey and cinnamon, delicious! I then ordered the Hacienda Hash. The menu said it is fresh seasoned potato, chorizo and red pepper hash topped with two basted cage-free eggs, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, chipotle ketchup, sour cream, fresh smashed avocado and cilantro. What they did not include is that this is the best item on the menu. Our server made sure to mention that and he was right. The food did take 15 minutes to get to us but it was busy and it was worth it. I loved the mix of flavors and spices. The egg on top was over easy and the yolks broke just right over the hash. The chipotle ketchup was a nice drizzle and had a sweet heat. The red medicine was a nice bend of juice and tea and was not too sweet. Great job! read more

The food was overall amazing but the size portion was alittle. Great customer service !! They do make you feel rush to order and rush to pay while they give you your receipt when your eating. read more

The food here is incredible but the service is awful. We have been here at least 5 times, and I can honestly say that they never have enough wait staff. The restaurant is always busy and the waitresses are constantly running to multiple tables trying to stay afloat. We've always have to ask for refills on our drinks, wait forever for our check, and even though the food is amazing, they've gotten my order wrong on 2 different occasions. I recommend this pace for the food, but advise you to have patience. read more

Love this place! Has a neighborhood vibe. Food is ALWAYS on point. The Banana crunch pancake ROCKS. The staff is super friendly, remembers our name, and asks "the usual?" Ok, we come here a lot. The manager, Jenny always stops buy to chat with us. Super sweet girl. We've visited almost all of the First Watches in Orlando and this one is the best hands down. Did I mention they put vodka in their drinks!!?? read more

Friendly service, we were seated quickly and our server was great. Got their kale tonic, which I love. I also got the lemon ricotta pancakes and while they're good, you don't really get the ricotta which I was bummed about. Overall good experience and want to try their other food! read more

Rave... Rave Just stopped at the new first watch in our neighborhood... we had it on our calendar that is how excited we are. We are first watch fanatics!! Gina Merianos welcomed us so amazingly. The place is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. Our food was absolutely perfect even after making a few changes to my plate , they got it all perfect. read more

Great food and even better service. Couldn't have had a nicer, more attentive server than Meghan. I'll be back!

This place is so cute and has a great vibe. I went there for breakfast on a Friday at 9am. It was pretty empty but quickly filled up. I loved the atmosphere and the menu options. Service was a little slow and the food didn't all come at once (we were a party of 6) but other than that, I really enjoyed it and can't wait to return. read more

I am a regular at First watch and love it but my experience today was upsetting and it's because I love this place that I am giving it 3 stars and not the 1 from my experience today. I called to place a pick up order and was placed on hold for such a long time that I hung up and called back 4 times before Ashlin picked up the phone, I explained my frustration and she was so indifferent it was alarming! No apology, just like "whatever" wow! It has left a very bad taste in my mouth. She needs some serious one on one training in customer service and how to handle customers that have had a less than satisfactory experience. read more

Great breakfast or lunch go to. Food is consistently good. Service can be hit or miss. Remember to bring your check to the front podium to pay or you could sit a while before your server mentions that they don't take it for you. Great waiting place while you have your car serviced at Action Gator Tire right next door. Try the avocado toast it's a favorite of mine. Juices are good. Decent cup of socially responsible coffee. Ask for fresh half and half they have it in the back. read more
