This was the first time I was ever at one of these. The hash was fantastic and my wife loved the strawberry French toast! It was very busy so make sure you look for their check in online. Something I found out about. Even without that we only waited 30 minutes on a Sunday at noon. The only thing is that our waitress didn’t seem like she really cared all that much. I had to ask for drink refills and she rolled her eyes at us and again when we asked for a couple of boxes. Look, if you don’t want to deal with the public, being in the food industry may not be for you . Even with that, I would return without hesitation as should you .

I have been to First watch a few times before. I get something different everytime. I got the farm house hash. I really liked the freshness of the avocado and the food was spot on. I will have to visit again when I am in town the next time.

I ordered Avocado Toast hard to go wrong with that and my son had pancakes. It took over 30+ minutes to receive our food. The place wasn’t busy at all for once. The avocado was slimy and old. It tasted sour and rotted. Inedible. The potatoes were black, inedible. They were nice enough to take it off the bill. Will not return.

I came here with a friend and our food was delicious. The potatoes, pancakes, and toast with jam are really good. I don’t think there’s anything here that I wouldn’t recommend! The service was also really amazing. They were a little bit busy, but that didn’t prevent them from providing awesome service and getting our food out quickly.

Solid brunch spot with decent service. Its usually pretty busy here on any day of the week because First Watch is reliable and menu has something for everyone. I always order the skillet hash which has a good portion of potatoes, bacon, and veggies. The coffee isn’t amazing though. Nevertheless, still my go-to for brunch.

It was a Sunday morning, so we joined the waitlist and anticipated there would be a bit of a wait still. We check in, and the hostess says it’ll be about 10-15 minutes, great. After 50 minutes with no text, we canceled to go somewhere else. Now we’ve wasted half our morning, and we’re hangry. I understand that there’s gonna be a wait, but please just be honest about how long it’ll be!! I just want to be able to make an informed decision. This has happened to us a few times at first watch, so I think we’ll be giving up unless it’s early early.
