About First Watch

First Watch, a restaurant with a great atmosphere and appetizing food, has received mixed reviews. The restaurant, located in Chesapeake, seems to have a pleasant environment and visually appealing dishes. The service has been consistently described as excellent and welcoming. Regular customers enjoy the traditional breakfast and lemon ricotta pancakes, finding the portions generous and delicious. The menu at First Watch has been praised for its creativity, such as the addition of grains in pancakes and beet juice mimosas. A customer's order of eggs Benedict with a side salad was generally appreciated, but they noted inconsistencies in the cooking of the eggs and the taste of the hollandaise sauce. Despite these issues, the customer expressed interest in trying other options from the menu.

Customers love their Avocado Toast, their Carrot Cake Pancakes, the burger is delicious and bacon to swoon over. Waiting wasn't too long and the price was worth the portion and quality of the food. However, the noise level is quite high. Every time customers come here, the service is awesome! The manager himself asked what they needed and just made sure they were well served. The staff is hardworking, polite, knowledgeable. Food is fresh and serving is a good portion. The place itself is clean, bright, and inviting. The menu is varied and every dish tried is delicious. This has become one of their favorite breakfast chains. Very consistent with food and service. The breakfast has great options and all tried are excellent. Breakfast tacos are a favorite. Overall, First Watch offers a unique menu and good service, but potential issues with wait times and inconsistencies in food preparation may affect the dining experience.

We tried going to first watch in Chesapeake for the first time today for Mother’s Day. I won’t say that I do or don’t recommend it because I didn’t get the chance to eat there. Atmosphere seems great and food looks yummy. However, we were told a 30 minute wait. 55 minutes go by and I asked my husband to see where we were in line and they responded “number 8”.

The service was very good. My eggs Benedict was disappointing. Instead of an English muffin, they used a thick rectangle of white bread. It was so hard I gave up trying to eat it. Food was cold.
