First Watch is a charming brunch spot with a good selection of tasty food and accommodating service. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes, including the chile chorizo omelet, farm stand breakfast tacos, cheesy grits, and a highly praised Belgian Waffle. The waffle is noted for being perfectly crispy with a hint of cinnamon flavor, making it a must-try for waffle lovers. While the omelet could be improved with black beans, the tacos continue to receive high praise, especially for their flavorful tortillas. The grits, although delicious, are quite rich.
Seating is available outside, providing a pleasant tropical breakfast atmosphere despite nearby traffic. Staff members are described as super nice, attentive, and quick. Leanne and Megan are standout servers, known for their welcoming attitudes and care for customers. One reviewer appreciated Leanne's friendly greeting upon arrival and her check-ins during the meal.
The manager has also been highlighted for exceptional kindness, having once given a reviewer their order for free due to a processing error and offering a complimentary meal on Father's Day. First Watch provides a positive brunch experience with delicious food and commendable service, making it feel like a second home for many guests.
