May 2023 – came here with my two daughters (under 8) and we didn’t wait at all before we went outside. The porch was nice and I didn’t notice the traffic. It was a wait for the food because of the backup in the kitchen. The waiter told us before we ordered and that was great he told us. I ordered the Western omelette and it was ok. Potatoes were good but I did not like the wheat bread. One child ordered a chocolate chip pancake with one sausage. She said the sausage was spicy for her but loved the pancake. She wanted another one. My other daughter who is 5 ate the rest of the sausage and she said it was spicy. However, she said in ketchup it was good. She ordered the egg and bacon. Both loved the fruit (shared by 5 yr old) and my 5 yr old loved the food. However, both were still hungry. Overall, the food was good, the staff was wonderful and it was very clean. I would come here again and try something else.

Definitely join online waitlist on the weekends, much easier and faster! I love the atmosphere of this place. You can have a mimosa or a coffee, depending on if you’re feeling feisty. So many breakfast options between omelettes, fritattas, french toast… but i chose the egg sandwich with seasoned potatoes. Next time, I will get the breakfast tacos!

You know we had to hit up the first watch for that season pancake special. This place is always amazing no matter the location you go to. The cinnamon was not overpowered and was a nice subtle flavor. Eggs scrambled to perfection.

I’m a big fan of First Watch. I ordered a take out order on my lunch break today and ended up eating it in my car in the parking lot due to a time constraint. Unfortunately when I got to my salad (Kale Superfood Salad) I found a dead fly on a piece of chicken.

Always my best place for breakfast or brunch. When I visit new place and didn’t find breakfast places then next will be first watch. My regular visiting place in Maryland. Same taste same warm welcome smile. All breakfast tasted good same like all places.

Love their blueberry (HUGE) pancakes and sausage (huge too!) links! (I always order ‘3 pancakes with a to-go box’ immediately for the next morning. Otherwise, the staff looks at me like I’m insane! ) ❤️

Bit cramped when its busy. Bathrooms are kinda small for the capacity of the restauant, but the food is amazing. Nice farm to table quality ingredients. Worth the drive and the price.

The food was great but they seriously lack on quantity. It’s almost as if they do it to sell more sides. I get the prices of food have gone up so I would expect a raised the price on meals, not removing the amount of food for the same price. At least warn people that the amount of bacon included in the meal is one tiny piece you could barely smell before it was gone…
