The food and coffee were good. The server and other employees I spoke to were all nice and helpful. They seem to get food out quickly. I think I was here for about 40 minutes in all.

Been 3 times in the last week. Perfect way to start your day and the staff have always been 10/10. Download the app to skip waits to be seated for sure.

Haven’t been to this location in a few years now. They’ve remodeled the restaurant and I love the updated look. It is a busy location. It was about a 30-45 minute wait. They take your number and text you when your table is ready. They menu hasn’t changed much over the years which is nice. They have a seasonal menu that keeps the menu fresh and current. Our server was on top of things and was friendly, but also super busy. Food great as always. LOVE the pancakes!

What we love most about first watch is a quality control. At every single First Watch in which I have eaten nationwide, the food, service, and atmosphere have been consistently exceptional. Bravo! Keep up the good work (and your 1/2 soup 1/2 sandwich combo!)

Dismal customer service. I came in alone. I was directed to the “communal table.” I was told “it would be faster, or I can seat you if you want.” I could almost hear the eye roll the male server was barely restraining. After 2-3 minutes I started a timer. They seated a couple behind me when the timer was at 6 min. They had their server there taking their order within 45 seconds. As my timer hit 12 minutes I turned around and told them how long I’d been there. At this point, I’m assuming someone overheard and two servers ran up. I told them I was only there at this point to see how long it was going to take. Total time with no one even asking if I had been helped? 15 minutes. There were at least a dozen open tables, not counting the one I was at, and nada. Someone literally came up to the table and avoided eye contact with me and started adjusting things at the other end. Would not recommend.

Even one of the better restaurants for breakfast/lunch can fall short of expectations at times. This location is clean and well kept but sometimes the table can feel sticky. Ordered the same item multiple times and it looked slightly different almost every time. Usually this kind of inconsistency is indicative of a revolving door among kitchen staff. The service is good and generally the food looks and tastes fresh.

Got the trifecta with bacon and 2 scrambled eggs and water with lemon.

The wait was ridiculous. The personnel was visually watching to seat people but overlooked us sitting against the window, so we sat for over 45 minutes. Tons of people checked in after us and was seated. Only reason we got a table is because I complained. The atmosphere is extremely loud! Tons of people with a blaring radio. No decor items around to absorb any of the sound. Everything is hard surface so the sound just bounces off of everything. We will not be back to this particular location.

Impeccable service from the moment you walk in until you leave out the door. Super busy spot but wait times are always short and they keep it moving, which means there’s a cohesive flow between servers, cooks, hosts, and bussers. Order is always spot on.

I usually love first watch. Their homemade bread is delicious. But the eggs were not great. In fact I didn’t eat them. I hate to be a downer because first watch is like one of my favorite places to eat.
