First watch is one of my favorite(chain) breakfast places. This location just opened a week ago. The food was really good. We didn’t have to wait very long on a busy Saturday morning. Food was excellent . My only complaint was the waitress wasn’t super attentive but she was friendly. Happy to see them open a location closer to me.

Very nice brunch spot! Came in on a busy Sunday around 12 and got seated pretty quickly for how crazy busy it was. Got their honey caramel crunch iced coffee and that’s so much better than the Starbucks across the street! Boyfriend loved the food as did I, only downside was my eggs in my salmon Benedict were very overcooked but would definitely come back for redemption!

Great place for breakfast or brunch. Lots of options with seasonal choices and full of flavor. It’s a very open floor plan and as it’s just recently opened, is very clean. The service and food was exactly like the other locations I’ve been to.

The place is still fairly new, so it may get better, but there were some decent quality issues on our visit. Huge, rough cut chunks of onion and very little meat in the omelet. All three people in our party were sick within an hour of the end of the meal.

Finally made it to the new First Watch in our neighborhood. Even with the after church Sunday lunch crowd, we were able to do waitlist and get a booth rather quickly. Just like the other city FWs, the food and service were very good. A small issue with something in our water canter but was resolved quickly. It does get a little loud in the restaurant when full, could use some acoustic changes but wasn’t much different than any other restaurant. My family and friends had their favorites and will be happy to return another time soon.

First week open and the service was great! Loved the waffle, eggs and bacon! Use the online queue to get a jump on the waitlist!

It’s so so so loud inside. Like a school cafeteria times 10.
