First Watch

This was an exceptional dining experience for my family to celebrate my 70th birthday this weekend. Breakfast is my favorite meal and First Watch served an excellent five star foodie approved meal. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food down to the warmed maple syrup for the light and most delicious Belgian Waffle, crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, piping hot coffee and Kale Tonic Fresh Juice. Our server was Jalen who personified the excellence of an attentive and genuinely caring and accommodating host. I highly recommend First Watch at the Fort Mill location and I will travel from Gastonia for a refill of excellent food and service. The management deserves recognition for developing an A team.

Had the opportunity to visit First Watch for brunch while visiting Gastonia. My sister and mom were familiar with the establishment. I'm glad they suggested it. Even while crowded, we were sat very quickly. The server was awesome giving us suggestions and also was very attentive. The food is phenomenal. I had the avocado toast with a side of country ham and everything was delicious. They also offer fresh squeezed juices which is a nice touch. Can't wait to come back on my next visit.

A MUST GO, if you're in South Carolina. Really embodies the spirit of southern food with a fresh and delicious modern take. The staff were incredibly friendly and the other patrons felt like eating with family. Everyone and everything was warm and welcoming. We went in and asked the waitress for her recommendations and got them all. 100% delivered on all fronts. Make sure to stop here, say hello, and grab some coffee

My daughter loves going here. It's very aesthetically pleasing. Anytime we wait, it's not that long and it's worth it. My kids both get some purple drink. I don't know what it's called but it's delicious. The food is always good!

First time going and so excited to try it and loved the outdoor space. Our servers was great as we had our dog and they were great and offered a water bowl. The juices were on point! Had the Morning Meditation and Kale Tonic. Food we started with the Million Dollar bacon and it didn't disappoint. Then we had the Bacardi Omlet and the Hacienda Hash. I also got a side of cheesy grits. We will be back for sure!

My first time here and vert impressed.The menu is expansive with healthy options.I had great service from Isabella.She was friendly and professional and brought me a pot of coffee!I had the breakfast tacos.They were great and filled with chorizo, eggs, cheese and avocado.All on a wheat taco which was very tasty.They also have a small patio with tables and chairs covered with umbrella,Plenty of free parking.

Went for brunch today, food is always good, a bit pricey, service wasn't great today, good to start, but had to finally go to register for check as our server disappeared for a solid 10-15 min, and it was near closing, so not a lot of people left.....Had the athlete omelet, money bacon (always amazing) wife had a basic platter, Mom had 1/2 Sammy, 1/2 salad, all good as was the mint iced coffee.

This was my first time visiting this chain. I was surprised to see most of the meals were "healthy". For example... there is no way to get regular sausage gravy. They have turkey sausage gravy. I got 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 soup combo for $12. The portion was very small. I asked for my sandwich without tomato, yet it had tomato. The bread was not toasted so it reminded me of making my own sandwich at home from Wonderbread. The soup of the day was broccoli cheese soup. This soup "revisited" me for hours afterward. Not sure what was in it for that to happen. I also got the watermelon pineapple juice drink. It didn't taste like either fruit. Instead it tasted slightly like tomato juice as if they poured a bit in there and it covered up the other flavors, yet there wasn't supposed to be any tomato juice in the mix. One gal got the chicken pecan salad. It did look good in appearance. However, she only ate a little of it. The waiter was fine, I think our large group overwhelmed him a bit but he was able to manage.

Excellent visit with First Watch. Our waitress Taylor was absolutely amazing! Thank you for your kind service.Trifecta is my all time fav. The waffle is the absolute best. Bacon was cooked to perfection. What more can you ask for!!

This is my 2nd time eating here and it's crazy how the first watch in Steele Creek NC food is so much better than this location. My potatoes were not cooked all hard in the middle my bacon was burnt my waffle should have been a pancake bc it was not crispy at all. I will NOT be coming back to this location
