We visited on a busy Saturday during a holiday weekend (Memorial Day) and had a fantastic experience. The wait to be seated was less than initially estimated. We ordered the bacon and egg and the chocolate chip pancake for the kids. They really enjoyed it! I ordered the BLT eggs Benedict with seasoned potatoes - it was sooo good. My husband ordered the ham and gruyere melt with the soup of the day (Italian wedding soup). He said it was amazing. I tasted the soup and also thought it was an amazing soup. The only drawback we had was that we checked the menu on their website before going and had already picked out what we wanted. They were in the seasonal menu that had just ended but was still up on the website as available. Not a big enough deal to lower the rating, but still disappointing. However, we'll definitely be back the next time we visit the area.Also, our waiter (I believe her name was Abigail) was terrific. She was so patient with us as we looked through the menu while handling two small children. She's absolutely an asset to this wonderful restaurant.Added a picture of the kids' menu because I couldn't find one online that listed prices.

Food was absolutely AMAZING, and the service is unbeatable. If I lived around here I would come here everyday! My absolute favorite part was the set of herbal teas you can order, and that you’re able to make it on your own!! I ordered blueberry pancakes, eggs with cheese, and the herbal tea set. My body has never been so happy and so full. <3 I would recommend this place for anyone trying to look for a good and fulfilling breakfast!

The best avocado toast I have eaten. The eggs are really good too. Can’t wait to go back tomorrow morning ☺️

Breakfast here is always a treat. I really enjoyed my first chickichanga and couldn’t resist ordering another. Indeed, it’s still a treat. Too bad you can’t get a Bloody Mary or mimosa, but it’s still a great place. Definitely worth trying!

Food was good as well as service. We had the smoked salmon frittata with house potatoes, lemon ricotta pancake, waffle with fried eggs and bacon. Everything was good. It was crowed but food came out in a timely manner. Definitely one of the best breakfast spots in PCB

Wow this place is cool super enjoyed the atmosphere and the two women who helped me sure do seem to love their jobs here at first watch! The reason I give this place three stars is because I heard someone I assumed was the manager telling a young man how bad of a job he was doing working the front of house and I feel that was extremely unprofessional and needs changed! I love to eat and spend my money with people who enjoy being at work! I love seeing people be happy not sad and in my opinion there is no reason to get upset with someone for doing their job at First Watch and definitely hope I never have to hear it again! See yall again soon!

We were excited to go to First Watch for our first time . I think it was at there busiest time when we arrived at 10 minutes to 1pm, hostess took my phone number and said about ten minutes was our wait and she will text us, we took a walk down the strip mall..About 1:06 PM we walked back into First Watch fortunately we did because others before us were seated...The hostess seen us and then told us I will seat you next, then she texts us immediately that our seat was ready....if we didnt pop back in we would be overlooked...So already not feeling that good about our first time at First Watch. So you might not get seated in order as you would think, also dont go for a walk as you might get overlooked.At 1:10 we were seated, after a few minutes we were approached by our wonderful waitress Abigail ( I hope that's the right spelling, they do not wear nametags)We received our waters and coke, our order was placed at 1:22pm.Fiance ordered the Works omelet with potatoes and toast..I ordered the Traditional Breakfest with eggs over easy, chicken sausage patties, toast and potatoes crispy..I looked at watch at 1:32pmI looked at my watch again at 1:40pmThen I looked at all the other orders other tables were receiving and boy we were anxious to get our food, needless to say at 1:48pm my fiance received her order.?I, on the other hand received no meal yet, Abigail said she would go and see about my meal?. Boy I was ready to eat!!Abigail being apologetic brought my meal, it was 1:55pm, it was as ordered but chicken sausage was blackened and dry...I asked for a substitute of bacon instead Abigail happily obliged...Best Bacon I Ever Had absolutely Delicious!!My fiance was already at the end of finishing her meal when I received my meal.?.The manager Sara came out to apologize for my order delay and said this doesn't happen especially for a 2 top and we agreed, Sara asked us to come back and give them another chance to make it right.We definitely will return we said and told Sara and Abigail we understand and hope we can get our meal at the same time to enjoy the experience at the same time at First Watch.First Watch truly understands the importance of customer satisfaction as they proved without any negative attitude towards us rather understanding and empathy, what a great Manager, Sarah is definitely the right person for this postion!!Abigail is definitely the right person for the Front End Lead!!❤Thank you Abigail and Sarah!! ❤❤If it weren't for you 2 kind people I'm sure our experience would have left a bad taste in our mouth, (pun intended) ?lol. And not a 5 star rating!Kudos to Abigail! Ask for Abigail to be your server! Abigail is 5Star!❤We will return to try your lunch items?

We only waited 15 minutes to be seated, but after ordering 45-50 minutes had passed and we still hadn’t gotten our food. Waitress’s name was Cece. Never got an update on why it was taking so long. Tables that were seated 10+ minutes after us got their food before we finally got up and left. Everyone else’s food looked great, but we won’t be back.

Good food but on pricey side for breakfast. Normal breakfast items. Decor inside was nice and updated. Service was good. Would go back again.
