★ 1I usually don't rate any restaurant lower then a 3 stars but First Watch completely earned a 1 star on this visit.
This visit reminded me exactly why I stopped coming. The crew seemed far more interested in gossiping in the kitchen than working. They even had time to take a selfie.
It took 10 minutes just to be acknowledged, another 5 for coffee, and 10 more before anyone took our order. Our server looked either buried or stuck with a table nobody else wanted.
The energy was flat, the service indifferent, and the whole place ran like Waffle House without the charm. Definitely not the “fresh start” First Watch likes advertise. Not sure who was the manager on shift but that person had lost control.
BTW. The eggs were overcooked and the grits were dry. That is why there was butter in them.
You have other options. -

★ 5Fabulous breakfast spot with great service.
Fresh food. I had the “Elevated Stack” breakfast sandwich (egg on a brioche bun, with avocado and arugula) - it was light, fluffy, fresh, savory and delightful. It comes with a side of potatoes but I chose fruit instead.
Also got a pancake - it’s ginormous. -

★ 5I had an incredible experience at First Watch today! From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere was welcoming, but what truly made the meal stand out was the service.
Our server, Val, was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, friendly, and had such a positive energy that really brightened our morning. She made sure our coffee was always topped off and checked in at just the right times without being intrusive. It’s rare to find someone who handles a busy brunch rush with such grace and a genuine smile.
The food was fresh and delicious as always, but Val’s exceptional service is what will keep us coming back to this location. If you’re heading in, definitely ask for her! -
