Sunday Brunchin at First watch. I've been here before but I don't remember what I had last time probably a hash skillet. But this time around I had the crab Benedict substituted poached eggs for over medium egg. I didn't enjoy the hollandaise sauce on it but the crab cake and eggs was amazing. They were really busy this past Sunday it was the first 90+ degrees weekend to start off the summer. The Pineapple Express juice was great w/ the immune booster shot added. Needed that for the weekend hangover recovery. I like First Watch it's a cute affordable family/friend establishment where you can grab a healthy bite to eat. My sister had the shrimp and grits. She said it was okay nothing to brag about but yummy nonetheless. If you're looking for affordable family oriented place to grab a bite to eat try here.

In recent months, service and food delivery is slow. I imagine they’re understaffed as this wasn’t an issue in the past. That’s the only reason for taking off a star. The food is always excellent. I love the healthy choices and how fresh everything is. The salad, eggs, meats, etc. everything is always fresh and good. They change some dishes with the season. I like to try the new seasonal items.Put your name on the list in the app before leaving the house and save yourself wait time. There’s also a table that they call a counter that you can sit at any open seat. It seats about 8. Great option for a party of one or two.I highly suggest this place. Come on a day where you’re not pressed for time and enjoy!

I have yet to find a poor First Watch. Here the food was good as was the service. The hostess definitely was kinda lost and disorganized. Otherwise a good visit.

This place seems to be consistently short-staffed or they just can’t handle in-house and delivery/online orders. I used a delivery app and the driver said it took 6 minutes before the first customer was acknowledged. The pickup time was 7:17 and the driver was early. Driver couldn’t leave with my food until 7:31. It’s rude and if that’s how they operate then the odds of me ever doing business their again are slim to none.

Delicious..only problem..too much butter in the grits...I wanted plain white grits, I got cheese and overdose. But they corrected it with a smile. I love this place for healthy breakfast options.

I didn’t think I would like Avocado Toast but it really good ! I have to give the place 5 for today mainly : everything else was satisfactory.

We've been patronizing this location since it opened. We will not be going back. Due to health issues, we are no longer able to eat in the restaurant, so we have to opt for takeout. It's a roll of the dice being able to place an order, however. We typically get caught in a time consuming loop. After going through the motions of placing the order online, we discover the order won't go through. If we call the restaurant, a recording tells us we can only place an order online. If we talk to an employee (should they answer) we are told to go online. Here's the thing, once a staff member fussed up and told me they turn off the online ordering functionality if they get busy so they don't have to take orders. But they don't tell you that. Even the managers will lie to you and tell you they are experiencing "technical difficulties." This is what the manager today tried to tell me, until I told him a staff member told me the real reason we couldn't get through. It was then the manager admitted this, and fussed up to turning it off. If that's First Watch policy, that's fine I guess. But they should simply tell us this so that we don't waste our time trying to place orders. Unfortunately, we won't be wasting any more time with First Watch due to their appalling mismanagement.

YUM!We had driven past this place for a couple of years now and I’d always wondered what it was but never looked it up. This morning we had some spare time so we looked for a nearby breakfast place and came upon First Watch and WOW! Better late than never right?There was only a 15 minute wait but the vibes inside and atmosphere were great! The table spacing is wonderful, the staff are calm, polite, and friendly, and the food… SO GOOD! I don’t recall waiting long for anything, we were just enjoying the atmosphere, sipping good coffee, and relaxing.Our food was so fresh and delicious. We tried the specialty drinks, all fresh. The fruits and breads, all fresh. One of my favorite items was the breakfast potatoes! So delicious, cooked just right, and they left just enough of the crispy pieces that make it flavorful and give a truly homemade touch. We will 100% be back and will recommend First Watch to everyone!

My experience was good. Weekday mid-morning, the staff was friendly and didnt have me wait much. The coffee was good, the wait staff was attentive without being pushy. I had the Parma Hash (potatoes, poached eggs, Italian sausage, mushrooms, onion & tomato). Very tasty breakfast option, better than the typical bland choices.

We've had brunch here twice and the food and drinks are fabulous! The portions are very generous, everything is fresh and delicious, and the menu has a huge variety. It's actually pretty hard to choose from all the creative options.It was very busy both times but the waitstaff is responsive and very helpful. Paying a split check has been a bit of a mess and the checkout line has been long, so I hope they improve that process. It's definitely worth a slight hassle, we've just learned to allow some extra time for our visit.
