Elevated Egg Sandwich
Marjorie H.

Good food. Great service. And a nice outdoor patio to enjoy lunch on a beautiful Florida winter afternoon. The choices are great, depending on what you are looking for. And for my kids, waffles are always a hit.

Customized Maple Bacon Croissant Sandwich (with sausage, egg & cheese) with a tomato soup side
Brooke G.

Needed a break from moving and fast food and this is where we ended up. We were there on a Tuesday around 1:30 and it was quite busy. We walked in and were going to be seated right away but then someone jumped us in line. She had a baby so we didn't say anything but it was quite aloud and aggressive and the interaction kind of rubbed both of us the rong way. The staff looked like they wanted us to settle it and when we just stood there a little shocked they moved to seat them. Then once they returned from seating them, didn't say say anything to us when they returned, just kept their eyes down and didn't really look at us while we were seated. It was a weird energy right off the bat. We were also seated at a side table that had a beam sort of blocking half the table but I am deaf in one ear so it was the only not configuration that worked so that my husband was sitting on the side of my good ear. Food was all good and correct. They allowed me to customize a croissant sandwich which I appreciated. Ordered a side of tomato soup. It was thinner and more garden-y than a lot of tomato soups. Quite good just different. I didn't order one but I saw a pancake and they are reminiscent of Virginia pancakes. Large and hearty. I would order that if we return. My only other takeaway was that staff was really friendly and nice but very slow. A weekday lunch took two and half hours and they were not full.

First time in at this location. It was extremely busy when we came in. Wasn't thinking until later that duh, it's Father's Day weekend! The wait was about 25 minutes which wasnt too bad. Not enough waiting area room, seats or otherwise when they are really busy. I never noticed the artwork on the walls at other locations that highlight the city but clearly saw the Winter Garden mural today. I'll have to pay closer attention next time I'm at another First Watch. Our waitress was Elizabeth. She was super friendly, prompt and efficient. My son ordered the traditional breakfast and subbed out the ciabatta bread for an English muffin. He said the potatoes were so good that he didn't put his customary ketchup on them which surprised me. His eggs were ordered over hard and they were, although the yolk was broken. He liked them that way though. I ordered the smoked salmon and roasted vegetable frittata. It was really tasty with the creamy chive sauce on top. I ordered a little extra on the side as I love my sauces. I kept the standard side of organic mixed greens which were fresh and flavorful with the lemon vinaigrette. Fair warning, it is a bit fishy because it is salmon so if you don't like a fishy taste, I would avoid it. I loved it though. I subbed out the ciabatta bread for gluten free toast. It didn't have any butter but our waitress, Elizabeth, promptly brought it out when I asked for it. I wanted a cup of coffee and didn't know until the end that it is $9.99 for coffee whether you have 1 cup or more. They will bring a full pitcher of coffee for the table if anyone orders coffee apparently. Thank you First Watch for my BOGO birthday meal.

The Tri-Fecta with a banana almond crunch pancake

It was my first time to first watch and it won't be my last! I really enjoyed their summer specials! It makes me happy that they had special drinks there weren't alcoholic. I got the purple haze, which was like a butterfly pea tea lemonade with lavender. All the food my friends enjoyed was delightful and made for a filling and satisfying breakfast :)

First Watch is my go to breakfast/brunch spot! The food is so fresh, flavorful, and tasty. There are so many options you can eat light, healthy, traditional, or hearty. I love the fresh drinks/beverage options. My favorite go to items include the farm stand breakfast tacos, frittata rustica, and elevated egg sandwich. And oh yeah, the purple haze is my absolute favorite drink! I could drink it anytime, breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. It's so flavorful and so tasty, I order it every single time I go to First Watch. If you have never tasted the purple haze you are definitely missing out. One thing that I appreciate about dining at First Watch is that I can enjoy a great meal without feeling guilty that I just devoured a ton of calories. Whatever you are craving, they got you covered. The restaurant is always inviting with a variety of sitting options the include indoors, outdoors, and bar seating. I love the open feel of the restaurant. The staff are friendly and accommodating.

Carne Asada Hash, Kale Tonic

First watch at Winter Garden Village is always great! Jen is our favorite!! Always greets us with a smile and we go so often, she remembers our orders lol parking is insane :( sometimes very hard to find, so consider that before arriving. Especially later in the morning and on the weekends.

Caramel crunch coffee
Anthony H.

We went by for brunch around noon on Sunday, and we had a great time! We have been to multiple First Watch locations in Central Florida, and I feel like this one was the most busy, but the service was on point and very quick. I also liked the seating inside. My wife had a skillet, and I decided to try the pumpkin pancake, with eggs and chicken sausage. All of the food items were great, especially the pumpkin pancake! I also tried a sip of the caramel crunch coffee and liked it as well. Just a tad too sweet for me, but the presentation was awesome. Can't wait to come back to First Watch!

Sausage biscuits and grave with eggs

The regular breakfast items like pancakes, eggs, and bacon are solid. They taste great and are definitely the highlight for me. That said, a lot of the other dishes I've tried have been way too salty. The potatoes especially stand out for being over-seasoned. It's a bit of a letdown when the flavors get buried under too much salt. No longer a place for me to dine at. I won't be missed cause America love their SALT.

Chicken Bake
Alex G.

This is the first time I'm seeing "Chicken Bake", I can safely say it will definitely not be my last. As opposed to "Baked Chicken." It was m wonderfully light & fluffy, while still having an amazing flavor profile. I LOVE that there's a place that sells a plethora of different kinds of DELICIOUS, "Grab & Go" foods. I officially know what I'm GOING to get it again & again.

Parmesan Prosciutto Toast
Emily A.

Tried their new seasonal item, Parmesan Prosciutto toast and it was worth every bite. Such a great flavor profile and so fresh. Highly recommend this delicious item. Hope they keep it for the regular menu! Thanks Daniel for the recommendation!!

Seasonal morning brunch Hawaiian French toast!
Maria T.

Every time I go to first watch is truly a pleasure... the staff is super nice, the food is fresh and tasty, yes they are busy, but they make the time there so memorable! I enjoy the atmosphere since it reminds me of a Sunday morning brunch with my family! I like that their menu is very diverse and they offer food in the lighter end (light in calories) as well as in the little heavier end. Literally they have ANYTHING you might be thinking about. Perfect for breakfast, brunch with friends, or just a nice lunch with mom! The only thing is to go early... it gets pretty busy, but since they have indoor and outdoor seating, there might be more flexible availability. Recommend! Try their seasonal dishes and beverages!

Trifecta

Jen is the best hands down !!! She sweet, attentive makes you feel like your home !! She's the reason why we keep coming back thanks Jen you're awesome !

I have a friend who's gluten free; are they flexible with that?

No, Crooked can sells Beer. It's a brewery with on tap beer. They are attached to the Market Place that have other venders that may have gluten free options.

Visited 4 rivers smoke house from out of town, as I heard it's a great bbq spot…read more Ordered the BBQ platter with 1/4 rack ribs, beef brisket, corn bread, Mac & cheese and a side of COOP chicken tenders. Honestly did not disappoint! The bbq was very flavourful. Ribs fell right off the bone. Meaty, and enjoyed the sauces to compliment the meat on the tables. Corn bread was good, moist and generous portion. Mac & cheese was yummy as well! The chicken tenders on the side were breaded lightly and seasoned great. Atmosphere- casual, plenty of seating space. Good for small groups as well as big ones. Service- friendly, patient and was able to answer any questions. Food came out in a timely manner. Overall, great experience. Would recommend and come back!!

I ordered the 1x2 combo with pulled chicken, baked beans, and coleslaw. The pulled chicken was incredibly moist and packed with flavor. I added some of their house-made barbecue sauces on top, and that honestly pushed it over the edge of excellence. The coleslaw tasted super fresh and crisp, and the baked beans? Hands down the best I've ever had. Sweet, savory, and perfectly cooked. My husband ordered the brisket and a sweet tea, and he loved everything as well. The brisket was tender and flavorful, and the sweet tea was just right -- not too sweet, not too bland. Yes, it can be a bit on the pricey side, but barbecue usually is -- and the quality absolutely matches the price. When we're in a pinch and craving good BBQ, this will definitely be our new go-to spot. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious, comforting barbecue done right!

Summary: 5 Stars for fresh, healthy food and plenty of options, service, and a bright clean seating…read morearea, indoors and out. I discovered this one-of-a-kind fast casual restaurant through Yelp on a recent visit to the Historic Winter Garden area. Because of the healthier food options and great reviews, my wife and I decided to give it a try since it was just a short distance away from the historic downtown. One other plus we discovered early (because of the sign just inside the doorway): No seed oils are used in their salad dressings, only 100% extra virgin olive oil. My wife chose "Build a Bowl" and added chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted broccoli, and (the very tasty) herb & parmesan mushrooms. I ordered "Build Your Own Salad", and chose the local Italian sausage as my protein, with some crisp greens and sautéed onions, and fresh lemon garlic vinaigrette on the side. We thoroughly enjoyed the flavors and healthy options. We definitely would like to return. This restaurant currently is the first and only one. MISC. The concept was created by the former Miller Ale House President/COO and his family to provide a healthier option for fast casual food. He and some of his family happened to be sitting at some tables when we arrived. Also, although we didn't order these: Sandwiches and Burgers, including Impossible, are available; Soups are made from scratch; Kids Menu; Organic non-alcoholic beverages; Coke/Sprite; and Beer & Wine.

The food was really good, it was delicious and a good value for the price. The staff was nice. The inside of the restaurant was clean. We almost walked out because the first area of food we saw behind the glass looked kind of messy with some food laying around the countertop outside its container, as if they were too busy to use the concept of "clean as you go." Which I understand if they were really busy, however they dis have a couple of people standing behind the counter chatting. That would be the recommendation to management that In would make. Cleanliness in a restaurant is so important for the customer experience.

My server suggested the smoked old fashioned (17 dollars) to cure my blues. It sure did with the light smoked flavor, yet strong enough to let my happy and relaxed. Since I am trying to avoid beef, I took the dependable sockeye salmon burger with salad (16 dollars). The salmon had the great flavor and was plentiful. It tasted fresh and healthy. The tomato, lettuce, and onion were fresh as well and the mustard complimented the burger nicely. My salad was wonderful and the vinaigrette was such a nice addition. I couldn't leave without dessert, and the ole reliable creme brulee (10 dollars) had a creamy custard with a great shell. It was so enjoyable. The service was great, and while the atmosphere was a bit quieter, I still didn't feel lonely at all. I wish I was able to go to the fountain area afterwards, but the rain and storm had be back to the free garage immediately. The Hangry Bison is still my favorite place for burgers. If only there was a bison to hop on in the restaurant, it would have been much friendlier than the bull last week. It's still a great and underrated burger restaurant in downtown Winter Garden.
