I was really excited to try this place during my trip and they delivered. I had the brisket hash entree which was really good and super filling. Although the initial dish looked a bit chaotic, all of the components really worked well together. The guac, fried egg, hash, tortilla, peppers and garnish really create an amazing bit. I paired it with there fresh green juice, forgetting the flavor combination. There were so many other options that looked great on the menu, if I’m ever back in town I’ll definitely go back for more.

Out of town for a soccer tournament. We love the first watch in the 757, so we thought we knew what we were getting. We didnt mind the 22 minute wait. What we did mind was the extra 15 minutes it took for our server to ask our drink order. Mind you we saw her several times and not once did she say “hi, welcome. I will be with you as soon as possible. “

It’s good, had the traditional breakfast and pork sausages were terrific! Avocado and crab toast was ok. Staff friendly and efficient. Reasonably priced.

Food is excellent. I go here a lot. The Works omelet with sour cream on the side is so good with seasoned potatoes (picture att), toast jelly and butter. The lemon ricotta pancakes are yummy. The biscuits and gravy is also very good. The kale juice drink is healthy and delicious and my favorite. Cold coffee great too. They have gluten free bread too upon request.

Service was great but the greeting & seating needs to be more organized. Definitely get on the wait list. Food was excellent. Coffee tasty. Would have been nice to have prices for everything on the menu. Overall, definitely recommend!

Very good breakfast spot wirh excellent decor and feel. I’d say the best in the area. Chocolate chip pancakes were enormous and had quality chocolate. Potatoes were ok and the omelet could have been more cheesier but that’s just my preference, I imagine not everyone likes it that way. Toast was delicious and semi decent coffee.. Overall a very pleasant experience. Will be back.

Last time I ate here it was the Egg and I. Love the remodel, love the revamped menu. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Kitchen was a bit slow today, but I don’t recall ANY empty seats until we left. (We were the last table to leave after close) so I won’t judge harshly. The server was great, and followed up with us frequently to make sure our needs were met. We will visit again. Family of 6 with 3 adults and 3 children.

My experience at First Watch was quite enjoyable! The convenience of their app, allowing us to get in line before we even arrived, was a time-saver. On a busy Sunday, our wait was impressively short – less than 10 minutes. Kudos to the efficient management!

We understand that every restaurant can have a bad day, but this was over the top. We waited about 40 minutes for our food. When we got it, it was cold. Cold eggs, cold waffle, cold toast. We explained this to another server since ours couldn’t be found, and he offered to put the order in again. We were offered a free juice in compensation but they are full of sugar and one of us is diabetic. We explained that but weren’t offered anything else instead. The second order came out faster this time…but one order of eggs was cold again, and the other order of over medium eggs had totally runny whites. We didn’t eat them. Our bill was full price – no effort to make up for the problems. Again, every restaurant can have a bad day, but customer service can salvage the situation. It didn’t do so on this occasion.
