Wonderful experience to start the day. Tiana was kind, personal and attentive.

Everything about our experience was amazing. The staff was friendly and the food was incredible. Our server, Jess, was exceptional. Amanda, the GM, even took the time to come check and see how our food was. We will definitely be coming back soon! This place is our favorite. Our 1 year old even loves it and they are very accommodating for him as well.

First time customer and it was absolutely delicious! Staff was super friendly and accommodating to our larger than life family, will definitely be coming back!?

The food and drinks are awesome especially the purple haze drink. Annie our server was just awesome. Love it

First Watch was a great little farm table experience. The staff was friendly, the environment was lighter with a modern farmhouse twist. Their menu consisted of breakfast and lunch, with many different options for each of them. I ordered their Chickichanga, which was essentially a Latin breakfast burrito with a lemon hollandaise sauce on top. It was perfectly filling, and the side potatoes were expertly fried. I also recommend getting their iced coffee with your hot breakfast. I know that they tend to be busy on the weekends, but I happened to stop by mid morning on a week day and our party was seated immediately. If you’re looking for brunch, make sure you swing by!

Who ever rates breakfast 5 star? If you had the carrot cake pancake and the carnitas breakfast burrito (turned tacos because they had no burrito wraps) you would. This is food that melts your mind. I've never had a better breakfast in Paris, Hanoi, Dubai, New York, Taipei, Sydney, Vienna, Manchester, Athens, Lisbon, Budapest, Frankfurt, Saigon, Oslo, Cape Town or Bangkok. And I've had great breakfasts in all those places and many more.This place is world class, the service is splendid, and everything about it is a stunning surprise here in the middle of fly-over country, USA. I EVEN added it to my personal list of recommended places, which I never do with breakfast. Ever.Come be surprised first thing in the morning. It goes well with coffee.

Good food, good service. Thank you, Christine!

Can't say enough about First Watch. Excellent food, excellent service, great aesthetics.We started out with decaf coffee, there was plenty of creamer supplied on the table and two sugar options, raw and a substitute. They left the carafe for us at the table. I ordered the Superspeed Protein Pancakes, probably the best pancakes I've ever had in all my 51 years. The flavor was a great balance of nutty and fruity, it came with a delicious fruit compote on the side. I still added syrup because I don't like my cakes dry. My husband had The Works Omelette with house potatoes for his side. He mentioned the toast, that it was crispy on the outside but pillow soft inside, and the whipped butter was the perfect glaze. They brought water with our meal and left the cutest jar with extra if we needed it.Each staff member we came into contact with was genuinely friendly, all smiles. They checked on us only once, which I liked because I can't stand it when staff asks how we're doing every five minutes. My logic says that if you've done your job right the first time, there's no need to constantly ask how someone's doing.As you can see from the photos, First Watch is simply decorated. While I enjoy looking at things restaurants put on the walls, I think the absence requires customers to focus on each other and their food experience.Well done First Watch! Well worth the drive from Branson.

Food was awesome service ok would definitely go back again and try there sandwich there coffee was awesome too would definitely be back
