First Watch

In town, you have many chain style breakfast options. Cracker Barrel, Bob Evans and IHOP to name a few. I really enjoy my experience at First Watch. From their omelets to pancakes, they truly have a unique rich flavor. The coffee and sides are always fresh. The good family atmosphere and reasonable prices makes this a great place to enjoy a meal with family and friends.

I’ve always had good experiences at FirstWatch but this experience was «pretty good»
We were seated in a reasonable amount of time for how busy they were. But it took over 10 minutes to be greeted once at our table and that ten minutes was artificially stopped because we waved someone down. All told from door to food it was 38 minutes.
The attention to detail in the ordering was lacking a bit too and added to the feeling that we had surprised them a bit by stopping in. Small things, like that I asked for a glass of milk with my meal and got it immediately. I know that seems petty, but just like a fresh pair of brand new socks, there is something nice about a cold glass of milk that a 10 minutes at room temperature glass of milk can’t match. And we had to ask for refills on my wife’s hot.
I had the fresh fruit Crepes and I think they were good. Everything was fresh and looked nice. I may end up looking like a fool here, but I had never had cold Crepes prior to today. At first I thought maybe my meal had gotten cold but it was very cold with no hint of heat anywhere. There is a good chance that this is how they are served by design and this is my announcement to the world that I’ve never been to France.
First Watch came highly recommend and the staff was very pleasant, so I’m going to call this 3 star a «possible fluke» and give them another shot soon.
And again, no demerit for the cold Crepes. That one is on me

Great first experience. Great food, absolutely delicious coffee… Food taste real! Not sure of our servers name but she did great. Did I mention how great the coffee was!

First Watch is a solid choice; however, this location lacks in the service. I’ve been to a couple of First Watches and I’d have to say that the food is consistent among them. I met my cousin over here about 10am on a Sunday. It was crowded but we didn’t wait long for a table. The coffee came as soon as we sat down, but no water until after the food had arrived. The waitress looked overwhelmed and we saw her maybe twice during the entire visit. I ordered the Tri-​Athlete omelette, which is an egg white omelette with mushrooms, spinach, and green chiles. It is served with fruit and an english muffin. It was very good. I especially love that they add green chiles in this omelette. Again, it was consistent with what I’ve had at the other locations. First Watch isn’t a bad choice for breakfast but there are definitely other places I’d try before coming back to this location.

This place is outstanding! I went for lunch and ordered the chicken avocado salad. Salad was well presented and very good. I went there in a bit of a rush and unfortunately food took a bit longer than usual to make it to the table. I never complained but the waitress noticed that it took 20 min to get my meal and she said since it took so long there would be no charge.
This is the most outstanding customer service I have received at any restaurant at any price in recent memory. Having a waiter/​waitress be proactive when an establishment doesn’t exactly hit the mark and act prior to receiving a complaint is refreshing. Service like this can take a business from good to great. Awesome experience!

Love first watch! But it’s so hard finding a time to go when it’s not busy! Guess it’s just that good ;)

This place is what every Waffle House HOPES to be one day. It is the adult version wanna-​be restaurant that ONLY SERVES Breakfast and Lunch.
Okay, okay… so it might not be the BEST restaurant in history, but I can guarantee you this: You will come back to this place time and time again. It is almost as if they put heavy narcotics in their food and when you leave, you just think about when your next fix is going to be.
You try to overcompensate by trying «another great breakfast place» the next day and just tell yourself «Hey, at least this place is a little cheaper»…but it does’t work… and it never will.
Get here before the Zombie Apocalypse so you know what the sweet sweet breakfast of the gods tastes like before being forced to eat cat food.

The Killer Cajun is my go-​to here. Fresh food with a hint of healthiness. One of my favorite breakfast joints. Everyone I bring here for the first time, loves it.

We went back to give First Watch another try after customer service contacted me since reading my last review on Unilocal.I give them amazing credit for caring about what their customers have to say and how they feel and they went way beyond what I would have expected to invite us back for a full meal on them. I wish I could give them a half star step up because I was so impressed with their attitude… however I am sad to report that the food while better than the last time was still nothing to write home about again. It has changed my mind from not going to I would consider it when in the area, but I cannot justify giving it a 4 star rating.
Today I had the chikichanga, which was actually flavorful and I really enjoyed the fact that it was rolled in a corn tortilla instead of a boring white flour one. My side of potatoes however came out with many burned pieces throughout it. The server quickly replaced them with better ones, but it continues to make me question quality control. I also encountered a large piece of onion skin inside my chickichanga, which I eventually had to just spit out. Overall these are minor issues and did not ruin the meal by any means. My husband had the cheddar and bacon pancakes. He ordered 2 of them and they were so filling he could not eat all of them. They were hearty and had decent flavor.
Our server, Gale, was amazing today. She took wonderful care of us and made suggestions when I was torn between 3 dishes. She quickly resolved any issues and even offered us to go drinks. We did not tell her about our free meal so as not to skew the service or food… so this was all of her own doing. After talking to her for a few minutes we found she was very knowledgeable and has worked their for 10 years. It’s nice to see employees that actually enjoy and value where they work so that gives the restaurant even more kudos in my book.

Honestly, I have never had a company reach out and apologize in so many ways. First Watch is one of my husband and I’s favorite places to eat. We are active and like to eat healthy. First Watch gives us an option to go on little morning or afternoon dates and stick to our healthy eating habits. We will continue to support them every time we can! Thanks for caring about us!

1^st Watch is great for breakfast /​brunch. Real food made from scratch every time and great service.

The food was delicious. I had the Beefeater with Tomato Basil soup. However, my dining companion has an allergy to gluten and this restaurant was listed on a gluten free website. The gluten free choices were not at all impressive. Whole grain quinoa? The options for gluten free were to order without an English muffin, and some normally gluten free items were listed as containing gluten. Balsamic vinagarette with gluten, really??? The gluten free menu was a list of menu items that contain gluten.

LOVE the baconado omelette and they have great coffee! Only downfall is that it is a little pricey and they kind of rush you out the door but I would definitely come again!

Exited to try this place because their menu looked really good online. I went with some friends but unfortunately I don’t think we made very good choices for brunch. The food selections are very healthy, but not very filling. I got the fruit crepes, which was a cold dish. I might come back in the future to try more breakfast items, but I’m not a fan of that dish.

I’ve never been disappointed in the food here.
I love/​will eat pretty much anything from their menu. The ambiance is fun. You’re surround by delicious smelling food and other avid brunchers.
It can get a bit busy on the weekends, but the food is worth the wait to me.

My favorite breakfast spot in my area. Always have excellent service and really good food. The portions are awesome and they have plenty of menu options. Highly recommended by me. Stop in and enjoy the awesome servers and great food.

Blueberry pancake was excellent
Bacon was crispy
Eggs were a little dry
Service was top notch thanks Jawon

On the road and looking for a filling and healthy breakfast (read not typical chain) and found First Watch on Unilocal.I wasn’t sure what to expect with the wide range of reviews.
There was a short wait since it was a Saturday morning, but well worth it. It was apparent that First Watch is frequented by runners and triathletes, as there were several tables occupied with people that had just finished events that morning. And, with good reason, the menu was filled with healthy options.
Though busy, the staff was prompt and attentive. The food was delivered quickly and exactly as ordered. We had the Killer Cajun and Tri-​Athlete omelets and a couple of «The Traditional». Everything was very good. I would make this a regular breakfast stop when passing through.

My girlfriend and I are staying in the «lovely» strip of hotels and malls in the area for a good friend’s wedding. We adventured out this morning to escape the continental breakfast of our hotel and ended up at First Watch.
I had high hopes based on previous Unilocal reviews, but our overall experience could be summed up as «urban sprawl average.»
Neither of our dishes were noteworthy (chicken breakfast burrito, chicken pesto sandwich.) Service started out great, but dropped the longer we were there.
It was better than the hotel breakfast, but not a special place I would go back to.

What a wonderful experience, from the time we walked in the door until we cashed out.
The Menu:
It’s not the typical eggs, bacon, home fries, and biscuits found at other breakfast places. The menu items are creatively named, and unconventional. There are fun ingredients like quinoa, avocado, house-​roasted Crimini mushrooms, etc.
Coffee:
I’m skeptical when it comes to restaurant coffee, especially at $ 2.29 per person (a tall Starbucks is $ 1.95 with free refills since I’m a gold member), but this coffee was delicious and I drank 4 cups!
Our Food:
Eggs Benedict — Turkey and Avocado
Two poached eggs atop a toasted English muffin piled high with turkey and avocado covered with hollandaise. Served with fresh, seasoned potatoes.
Bacon and Onion Hash
Two eggs any style atop a hash of fresh seasoned potatoes, bacon and house-​roasted onions with melted Cheddar and Monterey Jack.
Both meals were delicious as we shared some with each other. The food was very fresh, perfect temperature and had the right amount of seasonings, just needed a dash of salt to make it complete.
Our waitress:
She was very attentive to our needs, and we never had to beg for anything. The employees played server/​hostess/​cashier excellently, so there was never a wait for whatever we needed.
A definite must for the perfect date, or maybe my boss could take the team there someday for a working breakfast! ;)
