First Watch Reviews

This is a chain restaurant but since a lot of decent breakfast places went bust from COVID, this is a good option. The food was exactly what we ordered. It wasn't bland or overly constructed for no reason. The service was quick and the staff was timely and professional. If you're looking for breakfast or brunch, give this place a try. My only issue was how busy this location was for 1pm on a Saturday.

Food was great and super tasty. Kids meal was huge! My kids actually could have shared one meal, so good amount for your dollar. There special was insanely good and the eggs Benedict with salmon was perfectly cooked. Everything came out in good time and we were seated fast despite being busy.

I used to be pretty regular here, but stopped after my favorite server left. I sporadically come in from time to time now because I throughly enjoy the food, but every time I come in I’m met with attitudes from employees, service to leave a lot to be desired and feeling overly rushed.
