Great breakfast and brunch place with good prices, especially compared to so many others. The food is always delicious and service is good. Early on Saturday (before 8) there’s not usually a wait, but much later and you might have one. There is a variety of sweet and savory breakfast options so everyone can be happy!

I ordered 2 eggs over easy along with the usual sides. The server brought me a plate with 1 egg marginally cooked but not flipped and the second egg was completely raw. The yoke had seen no heat and the whites were clear and giggly. I sent it back and got a second plate that looked exactly the same. The server seemed surprised that I was not happy with it. I asked if she would eat this. When she said no, I asked why she served it to me expecting me to eat it. I got a third plate exactly the same as the previous 2. So I ate one egg from plate 2 and one from plate 3 and left the 2 raw eggs behind. I have never gone back.

I like going to First watch because it is good food, generally. This time my visit started with a great looking meal, and I was excited to eat it, I actually started eating and it tasted fairly similar but the surprise came when I tried to take a taste of the bread and it was moldy. I wonder how in Dry colorado one piece of bread gets moldy, how long was that piece of bread sitting in their pantry? Also, how could they put butter and toast a piece of bread that has an obvious moldy spot. The only reason why I am giving two stars is because as soon as I said something they were attentive and tried to fix their issue. But I decided to write a review just to make other people aware that it could happen to them as well. I had to spend some time in the bathroom because of this instance and I was not happy about it. Not even having it out of my check was worth the experience. Please have more awareness on your food control. This must have happened because food is kept longer than expiration date or because it was not kept under the recommended environment conditions. You guys can do better!

The food is always awesome. Service is always on point. The fresh juices are so amazing!! Anything you get will taste delicious. Please know that you and one other person will end up spending about 40-50$ without tip. The juices alone are $7 a piece.

Food is great. My only complaint is that they should inform their guests before handing them them the menu, of items that are not in stock. My first two choices they were out of and I had to find something else to eat. A little disappointing to get excited about a selection to be told they are out of that item or 2.

Update in 2021: This restaurant is still one of my go-to brunch places. The kale tonic and BLT Benedict are my favorites. The server was a little bit inattentive this time but they were busy on a Monday at lunch!

We eat here often and are usually happy. Today it was lousy. The food was super disappointing. The guy that was running the door was not friendly, didn’t smile at anyone and didn’t ask how things were. When they don’t ask, they don’t care.

This restaurant chain adds a unique twist to the typical breakfast options. The food was tasty, the restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly. And even better the service was fast. I think we found our favorite breakfast location. I recommend giving them a try!

The food and vibe of this place are both really good. I had the elevated egg sandwich and my eldest daughter had biscuits and gravy. Our waitress recommended the kale tonic and it was really delicious.
