Great service and delicious food! I had the quinoa power bowl- it was super yummy, nutritional and felt like an option on the lighter side. My husband got The Works omelet and we tried their carrot cake pancakes on the side (very nicely prepared). Happy with our choices. Next time, I’ll try one if their juices- looked pretty!

The food, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional! Fresh quality food with a wonderful variety of options for everyone! Great drinks with a variety of teas and healthy options as well as alcoholic choices. I had the 1/2 Superkale Salad and the 1/2 Ham Gruyere Melt. It was great and I had enough to bring half of each home for dinner. Our waitress Emma was outstanding! I definitely will return and I recommend trying this restaurant! We tried the Basil Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl too and it was delicious!

This was my first time at First Watch in Suffolk and it was a great experience. The restaurant was bright and clean. The wait staff and hostesses were very smiley and friendly. I ordered the Morning Motivation juice with a booster. It was bitter like our waitress said but it was still tasty and I needed the morning boost. The crab avocado toast was delicious. It was served on a thick toast with lots of avocados ( ) and the crab tasted fresh. The pickled onions were a perfect acidic addition to all the “fats” on the plate. It was so good. There’s about 10 more things I need to try on this menu so I’ll be back.

My boyfriend and I have only been here once aside from our most recent visit which was to celebrate my birthday and my daughter’s birthday. They have a large selection as far as drinks and food and they have a large variety of ingredients and options on their menu, however, our most recent visit will most likely be our last. I had to remind my server that I ordered something and once we got our food and got maybe halfway through, he brought the check to our table and never returned after that. We felt uncomfortable and rushed because of that. I personally ordered 2 items from the specialty menu – strawberry French toast and some caramel coffee drink. The strawberry French toast was about $13 and I received only two pieces of French toast, nothing more. The French toast was also smothered in whatever topping they put on there and there was maybe one strawberry cut up and thrown on. The coffee drink was filled to brim with ice – that’s how they get you so ask for light ice or ice on the side. It was a $5-$6 drink and I maybe got to enjoy 3 sips. They have an awesome menu, but they have the wrong execution especially small portion sizes. Their prices versus how much food you actually receive doesn’t balance out. It’s not like us to clean our plates, but we all did including my now 1 year old. Hopefully anyone reading this has a much better experience, but two times was enough for us personally.

Everything was beautiful, I gave 4 stars because the eggs were overcooked. This was my first time trying a Benedict ever! It was missing the egg “wow!” factor. I will go and give it another try because it was good. The tacos were fresh and delicious, everything else was great.

Fast service and great food. First Watch definitely shot to the top of my list for breakfast in North Suffolk. The Bacado (bacon avocado) omelet breakfast was filling and delicious.

Everything was great, I took off one star on atmosphere because the high ceiling (which looks great) creates a rather noisy environment due to lack of soft features to absorb sound. Clean rest rooms, great food, good lighting, prompt service, and a pleasant staff are some of the strong points. Definitely would eat here again-might sit at the beautiful marble bar and see if the sound is perfect there

First ever time trying this place and we were impressed. Very awesome atmosphere and the server was on top of everything. We started with the Million Dollar Bacon and it was some of the best we’ve ever had. My wife ordered a Power Wrap while I had Floridian French Toast. All of it was very good and very affordable. Would definitely recommend!
