Probably the best First Watch location I've visited.Service was very good. Waitress was friendly and food came out quickly. (The latter is rare for First Watch)I got the Market Hash, which was very good, and orange juice. Also bought a bag of granola, which we almost completely finished on our drive back home from our trip. (Because it was so good)
My husband I tried First Watch for the first time on Father's Day Sunday. Not thinking that it was Father's Day and the place would be packed, we got a place in line on the website (highly recommend doing so) and it made the trip seamless. The hostess, waitress, and other staff members were all incredibly friendly even though they had a full house. The food was delicious, the table was clean, and the prices were very reasonable. My husband and I will definitely be returning.
I had the shrimp and grits....amazing!!!We had David as our server...top notch...
The food - So good. Took a friend to lunch... her 1st experience. She could barely speak... nom nom nom. She loved that you could get breakfast for lunch. We shared a fancy juice. So yummy. I had already had each, so she chose. Good choice.The service was subpar. They were busy at first, but then most cleared out. Our table was not clean. Waitress checked on us once (right after bringing food) before bringing the check. When ordering our shared juice, she merely brought 2 straws. I used a clean coffee cup left on the table and used my straw... I needed a drink and ordered after the check. She did remove dishes once we were finished. When I said something at checkout about service, and only leaving 15% tip, nothing was said... as if I never said a word.Still - - the food completely makes up for anything else, and still receives 5* in my book.
A brunch Classic! Great food and a nice open floor. Good acoustics so not as noisy as other First Watch locations.
What a awesome place to have brunch! This First Watch location is quietly tucked in the Brandermill area @6121 Harbourside Centre Lp,Midlothian, VA 23112Before arrival I would advise going online to their website and checking in with the get-in line reservation option. This will save you time upon arrival instead of a long wait. Once seated our waitress came right over to greet us and immediately took our drink orders. Once she came back we were ready to place our food orders. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered any questions we had about the menu items. Once the order was placed it probably took about 20 minutes to get our food which was about normal because they were pretty busy in there. Once the food arrived at the table it was nice and hot and very tasty. Definitely looking forward to returning for another great brunch experience.
We arrived at opening on a Thursday morning. Very little traffic but steady. Fantastic food, great waiter. It is the openess and volume of sound I don't enjoy. But since there were few people, no problem. We will be back!
Great every time! Never a long wait and service is always on point!
This has become a regular spot for us to grab breakfast while visiting family. Everything we ordered so far has been delicious. My wife loves the Chia pudding. Our toddler downed their waffles. Their bacon is heaven. I got a breakfast sandwich a few months ago that was so tasty. The only thing we have had where I wish it had a little more pop of flavor was their biscuits and gravy. Other than that, no complaints. We will be back again!
Best brunch ever. I am a order off side dishes person. Fresh fruit, grits, bacon, salad w lemon and oil dressing, English muffin w preserves. Excellent! Clean, great wait staff.
