First Watch

Raspberry Ricotta French Toast! I ordered it, loved it, and would order it again in a heartbeat. It's on their specials menu, so I'll have to come back soon to get it again. It was a decadent breakfast, without being overly sweet. The raspberry packed a mouthwatering berry punch, while the lemon ricotta cream added brightness to the dish. They weren't skimpy on the raspberries, which are my favorite! I ordered a side of their bacon, which I love, making this a perfect breakfast.

Third location for us and doesn't disappoint. Reasonable waitlist reservation, immediate seating. Love this seasonal specials, the Holiday menu being one of the highlights, especially those Cinnamon Chip pancakes. The one thing I don't love is that sometimes you can tell their pancakes have been premade and heated to order. The crispy exterior is what leads me to believe this is what's done because it's the same thing that happens to me at home if I'm batch cooking and reheating on the griddle. Their turkey sausage gravy and biscuits are super good. Eggs cooked as ordered and decent quality. Their juices are usually also good but the red medicine being our latest try wasn't our favorite. I also loved their blueberry lemon cornbread skillet and the lemon curd/ blackberry French toast from last winter's menu. Service is always accurate, this past time took about 5 minutes before someone came to greet us and offer drinks.

As someone who is vegetarian, there are not a lot of food options The service was just fine. The interior of the restaurant was clean and well maintained.

First watch was wonderful! I came here with my friends and we loved their service, juice drinks and brunch options. We enjoyed the Eggs Benedict, seasonal French toast, and Belgian waffle. My personal favorite was the Eggs Benedict. The eggs were the right amount of runny and paired really well with their hollandaise sauce. We also ordered an assortment of fruit juices with immunity shots in all of them. They were unique and tasty combos. Definitely coming back here again!

The food is so bland. The Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl was a disappointment. No seasoning. Healthy food does not need to be tasteless.Grits is one of my favorite breakfast foods. This was the worst grits I've ever tasted. I had to go home and add to the plain bowl of grits. Also, see the small amount of grits placed into each bowl in my photos. Only around a third of the bowl is filled. So cheap! The grits are overpriced at $3.29. The bowl should be filled to the brim! I have no idea why this restaurant chain seems to be so popular. Skip First Watch and go to French Toast Bistro or a Coney Island in your neighborhood. I guarantee it will be better than First Watch.

Overall, rounded up to four stars. First Watch can be pretty good but I never rush back to have brunch here but it's a good spot to meet up with a friend. Coffee comes in a large pot or if you get water, they give you a large bottle so refilling drinks is easy.I usually look at the specials to try something new and fun but decided on my usual, Salmon Frittata which was fine. The frittatas here always end up being a touch overcooked and I always need to add Cholula & black pepper. I like that salad comes with it also but usually ask for dressing on the side since they tend to over dress it. My hubby got the Steak and Bacon burrito which he really enjoyed.

First time at the Northville/Plymouth Township location. As with other locations at breakfast...very busy. Still got seated right away. Took a little bit to get waited on. Pleasant service. Plenty of coffee. Lots of choices for food. Nothing unusual for me. Belgian waffle with strawberries. Others had the Elevated Egg sandwich. All good. I have no compliant about this location and will be back I am sure. Give one of these a try.

Service is very friendly and the atmosphere is nice but the food just falls really short for me. I've been 3 times and tried something different each time and I've walked away disappointed each time. Their attempts at elevating entrées is admirable but it has to be made well too. The meals feel rushed and not cooked well along with a lack of flavor. They need to get the basics, right and I think the overall dishes will be better.

This was my first time eating at this First Watch location. My friend ordered her usual TriFecta which is 2 eggs, a waffle, and breakfast meat, she chose ham which was thick and delicious. I ordered the market hash with diced potatoes, vegetables, mozzarella and goat cheese and two over easy eggs on top. It would have been so good if only the potatoes hadn't been burnt into what looked like charcoal briquettes. I can't imagine how any chef could possibly take those potatoes off of the grill and think that they were okay to serve. They ruined the entire dish. I should have said something, but I was in a hurry so I ate around it as best as I could. Definitely won't go back to this location again.

Food is good but management is horrendous whoever the male manager is there is an absolute joke and deserves to be fired seen him treating his employees like trash when we where there and was completely useless when it came to helping out the waitresses and waiters when it got busy I do not recommend coming to this first watch there are better management ones around absolutely astonishing to have him as a manger
