Compared to the Fairfax location, this location redeemed my opinion of First Watch. My wife and I decided to do brunch on a whim and came here expecting a line and wait. Surprisingly we beat the mid morning rush and got seated right away. Had an excellent coffee and kale juice combo that tasted refreshing. Ordered the salmon frittata and biscuits and gravy entrees. Both were delicious and service was prompt and friendly. The second visit at the new location redeemed First Watch and we'll be happy to come back for Sunday brunch many times to come!! Cost was comparable to going to IHOP or Bob Evans in my opinion and the quality of food is better. Go check them out and good luck on catching them during non busy hours. ?
I've been to the First Watch in Chantilly several times and the new South Riding location doesn't disappoint. The restaurant is new and they are training their serving staff and working through high demand but unfortunately many people in this area are extraordinary demanding. Each time I've been there the people are very friendly, they are doing their best to seat people quickly, and the food is worth the wait. I recommend using their app to get in line earlier. I've been there for breakfast, lunch, and brunch on a Saturday. Each visit brings me back again and I've even purchased gift cards for the other people in the area. Keep up the great work and expect that this location will get even better!
First Watch is a great breakfast and brunch choice. Their food menu is vast, and they have an excellent juices selection. The ingredients are fresh, the presentation is pleasant, and the sauces are special. When you go there, you must try the bacon from heaven; it is scrumptious.
Always a great time and a good meal at First Watch. And what a perfect location. Not too crowded, but this was a Thursday around noon. Great vibe, great service. Definitely recommended and will definitely be going back for more.
Food was ok, tried something new and enjoyed it. Place it open, bright and clean. Staff was pleasant.
I when this morning with my girlfriend, the place is new I really like it, wooden table the breakfast was good, the waiter was attend. Service was quick.I recommend this place.By the way the grapefruit juice was really good.I hope you keep fresh juices all the time.
Arrived at 9am on a Sunday, waited over an hour for food. We noticed no one seated before were eating during our first hour there. After the first hour, we finally noticed food coming out for those customers.They really need to hire more staff in the kitchen, as this location has way too many wait staff than they need. What matters is having a well staffed kitchen so customers get their food orders promptly.
I like the concept, the fresh ingredients, made me feel better about eating here as opposed to another popular breakfast place down the street. We ordered take out. Online ordering wasn't working, maybe because it was about a half hour before they closed, but that was a mistake. My husband waited about an hour for 2 meals and 2 drinks, we probably won't do that again. I got a turkey sandwich, which I would say is not a specialty of a breakfast place, so it's probably my fault. The picture made it look so good, but it wasn't the turkey I expected, or what the picture showed (I thought it was a different kind that I prefer more). It was ok, but I only ate half. There was a ton of turkey and I liked the mixed greens on it rather than just lettuce. I appreciated being able to get soup or mixed greens as a side, but "mixed greens" is apparently just that. It caught me off guard there were no salad toppings, just greens and dressing. However, the greens tasted delicious. Hard to explain, but they were so flavorful, like JUST picked. My husband got some French toast and his was really good and I don't even like French toast! I'm not a big breakfast person in general, but I'll probably try breakfast next time. We want to dine in and try it that way. I guess my biggest complaint are the juices. They're pretty good, although you don't get the sugar rim on to go juices. The problem is the amount of juice you get. It's sad. I should have measured it before my husband *accidentally* chugged them both. I'm guessing it's about 1/4 cup, if that, of liquid and the rest is ice! My picture is one of the juice cups, showing all ice, and this was about 30 minutes after my husband got our order.
First time there. Business breakfast. Food was excellent. All of us thought so. Waitress was awesome. Prices good. Don't listen to the other reviews, this place was extremely busy and we had no big wait time and staff knew exactly what they were doing.Panera next door is in trouble, this is now our go to place.
I truly do not know what to say, this is one of the worst restaurants I have been in my life. We arrived at 12 they informed us the wait is 45 minutes we waited at 12:50 we were seated at our table, at 1:20 which is 30 minutes after we sat down someone came and finally got us coffee and we ordered the food. We waited for the breakfast for one hour.This is ridiculous the food is good but the lack of customer service, wait made the restaurant look bad and disorganized. Would definitely not come back
