Food was delicious. Served hot and well seasoned. A nice variety on the menu. Should be able to suite a variety of taste. Fresh options. I would return to try more things. I really liked that the online menu has pictures of every menu item. A bit loud for trying to have any conversation. But overall a great experience and first visit. I would return and recommend.

I have eaten here many times using delivery services, but ate inside for the first time in July. I highly recommend either! The food is always fabulous, and this time, I discovered their Purple Haze juice/tea… I am hooked! Absolutely delicious! I went on a Wednesday for lunch, and it was super easy to get a table and fast service. The atmosphere was great as well. It wasn’t loud, so my friend and I were able to have conversation easily. A+

First time visiting First Watch. I ordered the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast. It was very good and tasted better than what I expected. I didn’t remember our waiters name but he was very good and came at the right times to ask us if we needed anything else.

Great food and service. Hailey was incredibly friendly and attentive. She kept us posted on our meal and checked in on us regularly. She was incredibly sweet to our kids which always goes a long way. The food was delicious as always and the purple haze tea is perfection.
