Quick attentive service, everything was cooked well. Great coffee.
Loved it here. The food and service are great but be careful here if you have allergies. I ordered a dish for my sister who has a bad dairy allergy. I specified this and asked if the potatoes had butter. The waiter said he'd check and then said no. So I ordered them for her. She had a few bites and started reacting. If anyone from first watch sees this, please be more careful about this. She's okay, but some one else may not be the next time.
Food is not that good really is tasted bland and my potatoes that where supposed to be fried tasted more like they where baked or microwaved then half arsed fried.
Would not recommend this place to anyone who likes traditional southern food.
I have ordered eggs benedict three times and they haven't ever been cooked right. The service is awesome though and the other food is OK.
Our server Christine was the best server we’ve ever had!! She was absolutely lovely. We had the spiked watermelon drinks and elote breakfast burrito 10/10!!! The cashier, Quintin was so kind and funny and suggested the best food!!
Food is good but choices are very limited for vegans, which is disappointing. I’ve had the chia superfood bowl and avocado toast (no eggs, sub potatoes). Updated from previous review on 2025-03-26
They always have great food and service. I've been here countless times and only had an issue once with my meal, which they were quick to correct. They brought an extra serving of my side dish so I could still eat while I waited for the new plate.
Dietary restrictions: Great about accommodating food allergies as best they can.
Kid-friendliness: Their kids menu is very good

First watch is a great breakfasts/brunch place. The food is great and the place is always very busy. It does get pretty loud in here though, with forks hitting plates, the kitchen being right next to the seats and visible to everyone also makes it loud. There are some pretty cool window seats where the window goes over your head like a greenhouse. I would recommend going here, but not for dinner.

The worst breakfast I’ve had out. The toast was toasted one side. My over easy eggs came out over hard. The potatoes were raw. And you guys lied about your jam. You don’t make it. I will never come back here.

Thank you for recognizing my Alpha Gal Allergy and making sure my food was safe.
