Left overs
June 9, 2025

We received delicious food two weeks ago and since we had to be out early today we wanted to get the same. Well the potatoes were burnt and left from yesterday my biscuit and gravy was old and had been reheated a dozen times and the coffee that I especially looked forward to was left from Sunday and reheated too many times and was ruined' $57.00 for this breakfast for two I was really disappointed. It was bad. Old people given anything and supposed to be happy. Well I am not I deserved fresh

Saw "Original eggs BENEDICT" on the menu, one of my favorites. It is original if you don't like real eggs Benedict. Shaved ham on bread with sliced tomato, poached eggs were done right, not sure about the yellow sauce on top. First and last time for me at First Watch. Yuck!

A fly cooked in my pancake. Made me so sick to my stomach. I returned the food back to the facility and the manager gave me a gift card. I called your corporate office and left a message 5/10/2024 for someone to return my call.

Brunch today
July 7, 2023

Our waitperson was ok, very business like. No smile etc. Food-thumbs down. OJ? Strange mixture of bottled juices-yucky. Pancake looked and tasted like cardboard-gross sausage-shoe heel, steel cut oaks. Not cooked, gummy, and absolutely no flavor. Very disappointing! You need a cook asap.

It was an expensive disappointment!
April 13, 2023

Ordered the Farmhouse Hash with scrambled eggs. What I received was some eggs that were cracked on the griddle with the yolks broken...causing bits of cooked yolk and white separated. This affects the taste dramatically. It was a huge turn-off, and I couldn't eat the eggs. The rest of the hash was nothing special at all, some overcooked tomato and undercooked onions, bacon, and brown avocado. The toast wasn't toasted... nothing was seasoned at all, so it was bland enough to be served as at a nursing home. Orange juice was bitter, mostly orange peel flavor.

Customer service emailed me to say someone from their leadership would contact me, but that has never happened. They don't care about their customers!

Horrible presentation
September 7, 2023

When I received what I ordered. Which was the avocado toast. The avocado was brown I expressed my dislike. The waiter was polite. Took the order and brought back more brown avocado toast I was done and tried to look past that quality of which was beyond poor.

The general manager at this location is Araceli Salgado 2799 Katy freeway suite 110 Houston to *******
Second complaint The hostess tried sitting me in the back of the restaurant I stopped her and did not like where I was being seated technically my first complaint should have been second and second should have been 1st… So all and all my experience was horrible. Here is a copy of my receipt. That I had to ask for. The Hostess was not as good as she could have been

She now goes by the name of Kristen Bartolomeo who should not be working at first watch as an employee she will only manipulate the people that she works with and she will steal money from the customers by changing the tip amounts on the customers receipts. Customers that charge their debit or credit card Kristen will alter the tip amount on the customers receipts. She brags about how she does this and how she makes so much money in tips.
She does this at every waitressing job she had.

My husband and I, plus friends sometimes, visit First Watch most Sundays. I have some tricky dietary needs that they are able to meet. The food is ALWAYS great, the servers are friendly, hard working, and try to get to know their clients. EVERYONE makes sure we feel special. Matthew was our server this past week and he was great Thanks everyone for a job well done!

My husband and I went to FW for brunch. Service was good, clean restaurant. I ordered 2 pancakes and 2 strips bacon, water. My husband ordered a plain French toast, 2 strips bacon, water. $36 pricy but I had a BOGO birthday which took $11 off bill.
The food didn't taste good to us. The bacon microwaved. Our throats began to close up so left half of our meals. We try to eat organic and non GMO and this food did not agree with us. Don't think we will be back.

Breakfast
June 13, 2024

Breakfast was could, when you order eggs and bacon is supposed to be hot and not cold, I really got disappointed this time, they take long and serve cold breakfast, I order Avocado toast and wasn't like I expected, they have to improve quality because prices are not low.

Kitchen staff YELLS out every plate as it comes to the window causing the dinners to speak louder and louder to be heard by people sitting right next to them. Chuck E. Cheese filled with kids on a sugar high is a quiet oasis compared to First Watch off Hwy 42 in Louisville. As for the food the toast & jam was very good. The potatoes were average but not crisp as I had requested. The Chili Chorizo Omelet was awful! Few green chili's and good luck finding the tiny bits of Chorizo but OMG the ton of onions. YUCK! I won't go back.

Julie provides 5 star service

Julie provides 5 star service at First Watch. One point and attentive customer service. Anticipates what may be needed, reliably checks in to confirm things are good

Worst breakfast ever
September 7, 2023

The atmosphere is terrible, so loud that you can't have a conversation or even understand the waitress. The food is terrible, absolutely the worst omlette I have ever tried. Nothing inside and lettuce and spinach as a side. I tried the bread but it was so chewy that I wouldn't waste the carbs on it. Gross at best! I really should have refused the "meal" and crossed the parking lot to McDonald's, my day would have been better. I ended up pouring half a bottle of Cholula on the omlette and eating it. I left the salad and the bread and stopped by a McDonalds on the way home. This marvelous experience cost about $15. (Not counting the McDonald's meal) what a shifty experience, don't go there unless your taste BUDS are dead and you love to suffer!

Too generic
March 29, 2016

I was interested in trying this restaurant, but after visiting the website they offered very little information on what they offer and no pricing information!? Unfortunately I will not be going there too soon.

I have been to the First Watch Restaurant on Bay Pines Blvd several times and am always impressed. The food is wholesome, delicious, fairly priced. The wait staff is superb. I've been a vegetarian for more than 30 years and can always find selections that I enjoy. I have never had a bad meal. And, there is outdoor seating. I will continue to go back.

Calling *******800 or using Contact Us on First Watch Website doesn't work if you have a problem you need to talk to someone about. I have a gift card that was purchased on 12/12/21 and it's history shows it was never used after getting approved but the card was denied today. No one seems to care. I am being told it will take 3 days to get back to me. Perhaps I need to try the CEO Chris Tomasso.

I came here for the first time in Wellington, Florida only to have a large HAIR at the bottom of my dish. They took care of the bill but still left geeling sick and disgusted.
