This was my first time here. This place is great for hanging out with friends or just working on a computer and enjoying some good food. The food was great. I love that they offer lunch specials where I can have half of the salad and half of the sandwich. The staff was a little slow, but it wasn’t that bad. If they can speed up a bit it would be great.

“First Watch Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with a friendly staff and amazing food. The menu options were outstanding, and the flavors were truly satisfying. However, one minor downside was that the floor seemed a bit sticky during my visit. It felt as though it hadn’t been properly cleaned after a previous maple syrup accident. Nonetheless, this small inconvenience didn’t overshadow the overall positive experience I had at First Watch. I would still highly recommend it for its exceptional service and delicious dishes

If they could only get the egg right… I always ask for over easy or poached. Never comes back right. The rest of the food is wonderful though.

The service was super fast from being seated to getting the check. The Avocado Toast was loaded with avocados. The Purple Haze juice from the Sweet Summertime Menu was amazing. Always a great spot for breakfast and brunch.

First Watch near Potomac Mills is crazy busy and attempted a few times but was facing between a 2-3 hour wait. Was in the West Alexandria area and was able to get a table. Menu is exotic compared to your local IHOP or Bob Evans, but I wanted a simple classic breakfast (Traditional Breakfast). Their Traditional breakfast is above par with the artisan bread and wonderful preserve. Orange juice is fresh squeezed and the sausage links had a bit of a spice to it. All this goodness comes with a cost, but it’s not extreme compared to what is offered. Here’s what kicked my review to 5-Stars…Oscar our server was fantastic. Oscar knew this was my first time and was very attentive…what a great experience, thank you Oscar!

This place was just ok. Our food was warm but not hot and it was salty. I got the Lonestar hash; again food was warm but not hot, the brisket didn’t have any taste besides salty. Parking is plentiful because it is located in a plaza. I would go for the experience but I wouldn’t be a regular.

First watch is awesome. Parking is easy at this location and like most first watch protests this is always popular on the weekends. Highly recommend putting your name on the list before heading over. Had a breakfast special of brisket hash and the chorizo omelette.
