I recently had the pleasure of dining at First Watch Restaurant, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy ambiance that made me feel right at home. The entire experience, from the attentive service to the delectable food, was truly remarkable.

First and foremost, the menu at First Watch is a breakfast and brunch lover's dream come true. The variety of options available is astounding, catering to a range of tastes and dietary preferences. Whether you're a fan of classic breakfast staples or crave something more innovative, you'll find it all here. From their mouthwatering omelets and fluffy pancakes to their creative avocado toasts and flavorful grain bowls, every dish is expertly crafted and bursting with freshness.

One aspect that truly sets First Watch apart is their commitment to using high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients. It's evident in the taste and presentation of each dish. The vegetables were crisp, the eggs were perfectly cooked, and the flavors were harmoniously balanced. Every bite was a delightful journey for my taste buds.

The service at First Watch deserves special recognition. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout my entire visit. From suggesting popular dishes to accommodating special requests, they went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Even during busy hours, the waitstaff maintained their composure and provided efficient service, which is a testament to their professionalism.

Another noteworthy aspect of First Watch is their commitment to creating a welcoming and comfortable environment. The restaurant's interior design is tastefully done, with a bright and airy atmosphere that instantly uplifts your mood. Whether you're dining alone, with friends, or with family, you'll find the setting to be warm and inviting, making it the perfect place for a leisurely breakfast or brunch.

Lastly, I must mention the value for money that First Watch offers. Considering the generous portions, exceptional quality, and outstanding service, the prices are incredibly reasonable. You truly get a fantastic bang for your buck, making it a place I will gladly return to time and time again.

In conclusion, First Watch Restaurant is an absolute gem that deserves high praise. With its diverse and delicious menu, impeccable service, inviting atmosphere, and great value, it has become my go-to spot for breakfast and brunch. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a memorable...

I've been to First Watch plenty of times including in different states. I would have rated my experience 4 stars each time but after what happened the last time I went, I have to bring it down to 1.

The wait time was short considering the restaurant was full and everything started off well. We got waters and were looking at the menu to decide on what to eat. Then came the waitress and little to my knowledge would she ruin the first half of my day.

I have some dietary restrictions, so there were things on the menu that I had questions about as well as things I did not explicitly see on the menu. I could tell from my first question she was already annoyed and answering very short or sarcastically. She went on to say "did you even read the menu" which was so rude. There are some people who cannot read a menu on their own so for her to say that was extremely insensitive. I also know that many restaurants do not always list all of the items they have on the menu so I asked in case it wasn't there. I felt so intimidated and uncomfortable with the interaction. It truly ruined my experience.

As for the food, it came out pretty quick and thankfully someone else brought it out. The food here is always good and feels healthier than eating at other breakfast places. However, it was hard to truly enjoy my meal after the experience I had with ordering it. She did come around to see how things were but you could tell she had a bad attitude all around. It's been a while since I've been out to eat at a place that makes me feel like a burden. I honestly probably won't be coming back to this location which is unfortunate since the other locations are pretty far. The food is fine but beware as you may not have the...

We have made two visits so far to First Watch - both of them excellent. On opening week, we could tell they were working out some kinks, but they made extra sure to see if we were happy with our food and experience. We loved the omelettes - plenty of meaty options for my husband and delicious veggie options for me, and the light side salad and pancakes or toast that come with them were perfect. We were surprised - in a good way - to notice that the coffee they serve is the best coffee at a breakfast place we have yet to encounter in this area - and we go out to breakfast ALOT. I also splurged and got a drink from the juice bar - the watermelon mint juice was super refreshing. The second time, we brought our young kids along for a Father’s Day breakfast. We all got the Trifecta breakfast which comes with either a Belgian waffle or a big pancake, eggs, and your choice of meat. My son was delighted to find that he could choose any kind of pancake he wanted with his trifecta - so of course he ordered the chocolate chip. The waffle that came with my plate was light and fluffy, the syrup was served warm from a pour bottle that allows just the right amount of syrup to flow, the bacon cooked crisply, and all our egg orders were perfect. Coffee was excellent again, and they seem to have worked out all the kinks because our service was great despite the fact that they were really busy. Just a tip - put your name down on the waiting list on their website before you leave home! We walked right in and were seated without having to stand outside waiting with everyone else. It’s the little touches like that that make this breakfast restaurant stand out...

Wow! Nearly two months after its grand opening, First Watch was pulling in a Sunday-morning-sized crowd on the Tuesday we went for our first visit. Despite the craziness of the midmorning rush, the wait staff were friendly, informative, and able to check in on how we were doing. Our food took a bit to come out due to an unexpected change of servers, but that was all explained to us... a nice touch. Another nice touch was the fresh, modern remodeling from the original Chili's aesthetic. The facility looked great and even had the personalized touch of a small, painted mural that read "Kildeer." The menu offered a vast selection of breakfast fare along with some lunch options. Although it deterred me from ordering what I really wanted, I did appreciate that the calorie count for each item was listed. I ordered the Trifecta with fruit substituted for meat. The waffle was flavorful on its own as was the butter spread, so I added very little syrup. Both my friend and I noticed that my portion of scrambled eggs seemed on the small side, but probably appropriate. Unfortunately, I thought the eggs were a little underdone but still edible. My friend's English muffin also looks like it could have spent a little more time in the toaster. My guess is that the kitchen was a lot more slammed than the wait staff was letting on in the front of the house; a testament to their skills! With time, I'm sure the experience will even out and I look forward to returning to see just how well First Watch is doing.
