Service was amazing & quick. Food was amazing as always! Highly recommend the Floridian French Toast!

This was my first time, ever, at a First Watch, but it certainly will not be my last! Everything from the atmosphere, the service, and of course, the food...amazing! Cydnee was a lovely waitress who made this a very enjoyable experience. The healthy, all-natural food, and cage-free options, as well as presentation is top tier! 100% recommend .

Great place for healthy food! Love the variety on menu!

The food was just okay. We have a First Watch close to our hometown and the food did not measure up quite like we expected. The potatoes could be done a little more and the omelet had a lot of "juice" maybe from the veggies/tomatoes.As for the "million dollar bacon", it had a unique flavor but ultimately is just bacon not a wow for me. The staff was nice and service time was adequate. I enjoyed the preserves however, the biscuits & gravy were slightly cold. The appearance of the restaurant is very clean, ample parking and the location is good.One major issue was the host, who had a nasty cough. That was a major turn off for me as a customer to be greeted with that coming in the door. He walked throughout the restaurant coughing without a mask. I'm not sure if it was allergies, cold or something else but it does not create a pleasant dining experience.

Yes, it's a chain. But it doesn't feel like a chain. The food is really flavorful and nutritious and most dishes include lots of fruits/vegetables. Also try their fresh squeezed juices!! Service staff is very funny and attentive. Shout out to Sidney (hope I'm spelling your name right)! Here are photos of the "Market" hash (with mushrooms and zucchini!), french toast, and juices.

The food is always great at first watch. Our server, Rachel, took very good care of us.

loved the food! our server, amber, was so wonderful!!

Amber was awesome to us and the food was perfect!

I was lucky enough to have Rachel as my server. She guided me perfectly around the menu to pick something out for my sensitive tummy today. It was just the right pick! So yummy, so satisfying!

Had a good brunch here the other day, just the nice classic breakfast. No complaints, was very busy but of course Sunday brunch, what else would I expect!
