First Watch Reviews
Have been here 3 times since they opened, and each time, our eggs are over cooked. We went today to give them a third chance, and they still don't know how to cook eggs properly. Ordered a breakfast sandwich today that was advertised to have an over easy egg. Not even close. You would think a breakfast place would have this figured out.
First Time to Bloomingdale location. Busy but fast service and great breakfast!
Lots of options service was great!
Came all the way from Nashsville, and I did not care for it! That’s why I finished ever single bite!
Great service , Open clean atmosphere and everything farm house designed. The Menu has a nice change
Then most breakfast places. Thank you Jackie, we will be back. The prices are right and taste is so very good!

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.
