First watch still remains pretty consistent with their quality of food. I've not had a meal here I haven't liked. Gave their shrimp and grits a go around today. The shrimp ratio was on pair as were the sautéed vegetables. I was appreciative of the minimal amount of butter as I've had shrimp and grits where my shrimp are swimming in butter and really that's all you can taste. They forgot my ciabatta bread but nothing a quick reminder couldn't remedy. They give you a water and coffee carafes to refill your drinks at leisure. I'd say they need to deep clean their industrial dishwasher and it's leaving residue on all their water glasses which was a bit off putting. Overall service was great, you can pay from your phone via QR which allows splitting of the ticket as well.

Food was delicious! Cafe is nicely decorated, Staff were great, and best of all affordable.

This was our first time here and totally loved it. My wife loved the avocado toast and I had the tri-fecta and loved the service and quality of the food. they also left a carafe of coffee on the table so we did not have to ask our server for refills. we will definitely come back as well as recommend this place to our friends.

First visit and it was awesome! Really good service, quick and attentive. Food was great ... best biscuits/gravy we've had in the area so far, warm syrup for a very yummy pancake, and tasty eggs and sausage! Pay via QR code by phone was a nice and allowed us to pay and leave when we were ready! Highly recommend First Watch!! We will be back

It was my first time here and I decided to go based off of reviews and I was shocked at being disappointed with everything I ordered! The beef in “Roasted Beef and Havarti sandwich “ had a weird taste to it that you usually get by reheating sliced meat or cold cuts. French toast were extremely dry and chewy. The chocolate chip pancakes were also really dry and even looked aesthetically bad with its shape and colour.

We love First Watch. Fresh and delicious food and tasty coffee. We go there about once or week. Wonderful baked muffins too. Staff is friendly and don't hover except just enough.

First Watch is a really great place for a healthy breakfast! Based on other's reviews, we came here and really enjoyed a nice breakfast, even though it was super busy! Their menu offers many options for meals that are all health-conscious ingredients and recipes. A great choice for any diner looking for a great breakfast!The restaurant was pretty full on arrival, however they were able to seat us rather quickly. The dining area is very clean, modern and a little bit hipster. It's not too loud and it's a great place whether you're a small party or you need to bring a large family with kids. The noise is not too loud and there's plenty of seating.After reviewing the menu (with many great options) we decided on the following breakfast s: the traditional breakfast, the Belgian waffles and the pancake breakfast. *All of the waffles and pancakes are made with a healthy grain flour but no big chunks of oats or anything like that to remind you that you're eating healthy. The traditional breakfast is the most popular offering your standard eggs, bacon, seasoned potatoes and toast. The eggs were fresh tasting and not too dry or too wet. The bacon was delicious, thick and seasoned well as well as the potatoes. The toast served with that breakfast is a hearty grain and really delicious!The pancakes were quite large and fluffy and made just right. The eggs were Sunny Side Up along with the delicious bacon. *A big bonus was that the pancakes are up is served warm, so you won't be chilling out your pancakes anytime soon. The waffles were a cinnamon waffle which tasted a lot like a churro and those were deliciously fluffy and crispy as a classic waffle should be. The coffee was fresh brewed and not bitter.The staff here was wonderful, very attentive and very personable. We really enjoyed our waitress who had a friendly attitude, even though they were super busy. The tables were kept clean/not sticky, and the silverware was spotless. I love the dining area decor with the painted panel doors suspended from the ceiling that gave it a modern but farmhouse style look of decor.I definitely give First Watch two BIG thumbs up and five big stars!Everything is just perfect here, from the quality, ample portions of food, the great staff service and the overall ambiance of the restaurant. This is a really enjoyable place to get a good breakfast with a big smile!

The food is amazing with new local specials each month, this is a favorite breakfast spot with the kids and the million $$ bacon! The service is great, it's normally pretty packed during breakfast but they manage it well and don't keep you waiting long.

Wonderful food. Coffee was flowing and the berry preserves is out of this world delicious.
Very nice eatery with very courteous waitstaff. I've been here for breakfast a number of times, and it can be difficult to get seated. But the food is worth the challenge.

Today was my first visit to First Watch and I had high hopes based on the many good reviews. Maybe the cook was just having an off day today but I was very disappointed in the food.My daughter and I both ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict with potatoes. The potatoes were either slightly undercooked (biting into a half raw potato is not pleasant) or they were burned. I gave up trying to pick out the nicely cooked pieces.As for the Eggs Benedict, it had a lemon flavor to it, which may have been okay had it tasted like fresh lemon zest, but it was more like someone had crumbled some Iced Lemon Loaf cake from Starbucks into the hollandaise sauce. I tried to make it work but could barely eat even 1/4th of it. The poached egg was also overcooked as the yolk was pretty much at the hard boiled stage.I'm giving this restaurant 2 stars rather than one because the atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff was engaging and kind. Though I will say our waitress did not appear to notice the barely eaten food. We are going to give them one more try at a later date and order something else. I will update my review if we have a better experience.

Eggs Benedict classic was out standing. Just didn't get the half plate of salad with it.
