Nice spot, first time here. My daughter recommended First Watch for my birthday brunch yesterday. The wait time was decent even with making reservations. The food was delicious, I had the morning meditation juice, Belgian Waffle and the Bacado, all pictured with this review. If I had to give one con about this place for this visit, it would be the restrooms, they weren’t the cleanest, we went in 2 separate bathrooms and my daughter said the same thing that I saw in the bathroom I used.

Enjoyed my first time there. Wasn’t aware that I could get “on the list” prior to my arrival so that resulted in an hour long wait for a table. Our server was great. The food was tasty; however, the carrot cake Pecan multi grain pancake would’ve been better WITHOUT the raisins.

I can recommend this place to people looking for breakfast/brunch. Clean, good food , and decent service. However, I would advise to get a reservation on weekends. It is likely you will have to wait at least 10-15 min after you have made reservation on weekends. I tried pancakes,( chocolate, blueberry) ; they were good. French toast was okay, tomato soup was good. Washrooms were clean.

Some of the most welcoming and open to all service I have ever had, from everyone from the host to the server.

Omg the food is delish! Everything was made fresh. I had the avocado toast with scamble eggs and the million dollar bacon and my husband had the carrot cake pancakes, and turkey omelet. He was disappointed that they didn’t have the shrimp grits we heard so much about , but thise pakes made him forget all about .

Always will enjoy a great Egg Benedict at First Watch. My kids usual always pick fast food so decided to introduce them to this location and I can say they wanted to pick the plates when they were done. You can not go wrong with the items on their menu very delicious always a returning customer to all locations.

First Watch is a good place to catch breakfast, lunch, or brunch. It can be a little packed, and the wait times can be long, but I guess it is good for First Watch.

If you make a reservation, you must wait in the confined waiting area (there is not enough space) because they give you two minutes to claim your table once you get there. If in that two minutes they are servicing another customer in front of you but you are in the store, you will still lose your reservation. Hostess was very reactive, weren’t angry by the Siri , but she automatically was on guard escalating the conversation on her end by her negative demeanor. I was very understanding and they were very busy and I didn’t mind going somewhere else, but the hostess quarrelsome attitude was very off-putting.

Food here was great. The special cinnamon roll was AMAZING and worth the possible diabetes. The ricotta pancakes were enormous and the lemon curd and fresh strawberries took it over the top. Only issue was the wait was almost double what we were told when we put our names on the list and they do not do reservations. The server was nice but seemed to be rushing us out, likely because there were others waiting, because again no reservations. I would absolutely return despite the having to wait. The food was worth it!
