Best breakfast I have ever had in Williamsburg VA. They offer a ton of healthier breakfast options than most options and are willing to accommodate requests that aren’t on the menu. This place is the best spot for breakfast around.

Had the gravy and biscuits and it was delicious. Super busy so a little wait but reasonable wait times based on the crowds. Come check it out!

Had one of their classics the “trifecta” two fresh cage-free eggs any style with a Belgian waffle and bacon. Not a lot of restaurants do a great light and fluffy Belgian waffle, here they do!! Thank you Mason M. For being a very attentive waiter. Also you have to try the “Million Dollar Bacon”. hardwood smoked bacon glazed with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle.

Food was great. Not too busy on a Friday morning of course. Unfortunately I think our server was stretched a big too thin. Still did a good job, but missed some things. Still don’t pass this place up if you’re here. The food is amazing. Try the breakfast tacos with chicken chorizo. And if you like spicy foods grab the breakfast potatoes.

When the going is good this is a great experience. However, in the past year or so I’ve noticed my experiences at this First Watch have gone downhill. Often if I get through the long wait times I find the food and service do not make up for the wait time. Give it a shot if you’d like. I personally think there are better places in town to get a more affordable breakfast of higher quality with better service.

Stopped here for brunch, food was excellent and servers were very nice. The service was a little slow but it was a busy Saturday morning so that’s to be expected. Be prepared to wait a little while for food. Overall great experience.

Great place to eat with amazing food quality and very good service. The only reason I didn’t rate five stars is the wait was very long, but it is everywhere right now.

Very good pretty and fast. The food was excellent the service was fast and humble. The portions are huge and the drink is delicious you need to try the farmers market place. The BBQ burrito and lemon pancakes. The PURPLE HAZE is a must they also have vegan options and low carb meals. Healthy for kids.
