Having our first visit last Sunday (Aug20,2023), we having a good time, husband & I just only wait for 15mins. While waiting we already knew what we gonna ordered since we look the menu while waiting. I recommended the French toast with Strawberries! So yummy esp if you have a sweet tooth, and my husband got a ,”Biscuit & turkey sausage with gravy with eggs”, and he likes it too!

If you’re looking for a healthy breakfast place, First Watch is it! One of the few breakfast restaurants I can leave not feeling gross. We’ve visited a few locations now and have been really pleased each time. The food is healthy and high-quality. And the prices and portions are still reasonable.

This place never disappoints! I love the morning meditation drink and the chick maple sausage. This veggie omelette was also amazing. Easily one of my favorite brunch restaurants in STL.

Delicious food. Oscar was our server and was great. Chocolate chip pancake for the kids was huge and they got a kick out of that.

First, the menu is very unique, there are so many items that I want to try. I had the half Monterey sandwich and pecan honey salad. I cannot explain in words the bursts of flavors in every bite.

Fantastic, hardy breakfast food. Great French toast and crispy breakfast potatoes. All the food is good, but you might have a wait. We went for brunch and it took a while to get the food. Once we got it though, it was fantastic! Great place for families. I had my three boys and for once they weren’t the loudest in the restaurant.

Always a long wait. We believe they lost our order yesterday. Not sure we like newer options. Did not like the Mediterranean Omelet – didn’t care for feta and olives. Would have preferred traditional veggie omelet. Don’t want to know how much I paid for the one scrambled egg I got. They’re very overpriced for breakfast items.

Always a great time and meal at First Watch. If anything, we have to go for coffee alone. It doesn’t get any better. It’s so I don’t even want coffee from anywhere else. Plus, we really enjoy the seasonal menus. They’re always creative and delicious. And the service is always great. To my wife and I, the best breakfast spot around. And that must be true because every time we go there, there’s always a wait. Especially on the weekends.

Delicious menu, juices, and the coffee is good too. Breakfast and lunch, no dinner. Literally everything I have ever had from here was delicious. Expect a wait, especially during peak times like Sunday brunch. Check in online or on the app and then confirm when you arrive; pro tip for minimizing your wait! A hard five stars!
