This is the worst first watch I have ever been to in my life. They serve anything to you if you request a pick up order, so check everything before you leave! I was just there today and ordered a chickichanga that we literally burnt! I approach the hostess, who also agreed with me that it was overcooked.

Service was great. Food was pretty good, except for the fruit toppings that were on the lemon ricotta pancakes. Take a look at the picture and tell me that you’d eat those strawberries. You know that the kitchen couldn’t miss the condition of those when they were being added to finish the plate. Unfortunately this is the first bad experience I’ve had at any First Watch location and it was pretty bad.

Fresh, good quality, decent sizes for each dish. Sufficient room for non-reserving guests. Room for improvement: Italian coffee is missing. Great place to start into the day.

***update*** received prompt communication from management about the concern. They assured me they would improve training. They sent a $20 gift card to my home. While appreciated, no gift card or at least enough $ for my wife and I to come would have been better. Will give the gift card to someone who goes there by their self. No update to original 2 star review.

At first this place was good. And it still is at OTHER locations. This specific location seems like it has workers who don’t care working here. The last time I got my food, my waffles was not done correctly on one side. It was so crispy that I couldn’t even eat it. Then they gave me a bag with an open syrup that had spilled in the bag. Luckily I checked my stuff before I left. I made them give me a new bag and placed the mess on a table. Now I wish I checked my food too but I had to go back to work. The time before that these folks took too long to take my order. But with the last time I can say I was able to talk to the manager and he said he was going to send a $20 card, to use at any first watch, for me. I really deserved a full refund but I’ll take what I can get. I don’t see myself ever coming back to this location ‍♀️ And will never recommend this location to anyone else. I can say the only delightful person I met here was Precious. Miss seeing her. They need to train folks to be more like her

Came here while on vacation and boy were we not disappointed. The Million dollar Bacon was phenomenal, a must get. The meals were perfectly portioned to fill you up but not stuff you. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of food. Great stop!

Breakfast this morning was delicious! The coffee is strong, but I enjoyed it. I ordered the Works omelet, and it was very good; eggs perfectly cooked and stuffed with the fixings. The side of bacon I got was perfectly crispy, though rather salty. Still very good and I will definitely order it again.

I always love coming here the service is always fast and friendly. if you go around noon it’s usually super busy but that’s understandable because it’s such a high demand restaurant. the last time i went there my waitress said food orders were taking 45 minutes but mine came out within 15 minutes and it was still delicious!
