First Watch

First Watch is always a classic, and this First Watch gotta be the best of the best. Everyone is so nice and the food is efficient. Our server, Jessica, was very accommodating!

In all my Yelp elite years, I've never left a review under four stars and I'm sad I have to leave one now. We used to love first watch. But unfortunately, we will most likely not be back. We were seated before our quoted time which is about the only good thing that happened. Once we ordered, we waited 50 min before we received our food. Several tables that were seated after us got their food before us and even paid and left before ours even came. Once the food came, my husband's soup was cold, my eggs were over easy instead of fried hard, and our kids pancakes were burnt. When we paid, the lady working the register asked how everything was, and my husband politely told her that it wasn't the best and explained some things that had gone wrong. She just stared at him, said "yeah we are busy", and asked him for our card. Not one person apologized. Overall, very disappointing brunch.

Good 5/5Service 4/5Ambiance 5/5I need to keep this place on my go to list for breakfast--I forgot about it. They have a nice variety of breakfast for all tastebuds. I really enjoyed my club with side salad and I added a cup of tomato basil soup--very flavorful!

Food: Elevated Egg Sandwich- good sandwich, perfectly runny egg. Came with some crispy potatoes- they would've been a home run with just a smidge less salt. Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee- yummy but you cannot taste any coffee... might be a problem to some but worked out nicely for this coffee noobAmbiance: Loved it. Seating is spaced so you don't feel crowded and the restaurant is beautiful. Seats are comfy and the place is clean, not much more you can ask for!Service: You take your ticket up front to pay and it turns out the server gave us the wrong ones. Instead of the cashier suggesting they get the right ticket (mine was actually the right one btw, they gave a duplicate of my ticket to someone else who already paid) or make an adjustment on the spot, it was presented as if it were my problem. I was flabbergasted and there was a line behind me, so I paid for the other more expensive ticket left open. It's a great brunch spot, but as someone who paid dang near $40 for a sandwich and iced coffee, I'm 100% not going back lol.

Very cool hipster neighborhood right across the street from our Airbnb. Food so healthy so good ! The service was amazing. I am definitely going back to this restaurant on my next trip to Nashville !

Fantastic food. Always great and quick service. We started our meal with the famous honey peppered bacon. So delicious but 4 thin pieces of bacon for $6 is pretty darn high and I wouldn't do it again but if you're a bacon lover (which I am not but my husband is) it's a must try.I had the breakfast tacos which were pretty good but dry. The chicken on them was less desirable but the chorizo was great and the black beans it's served with were a nice addition. My husband had the breakfast burrito and he was it was "a masterpiece" on a plate as well as in his mouth. Ha! Coffee is great and hot and the service was perfect.

First Watch has become my favorite breakfast spot nearby. The service is excellent, the food is served up quickly, and a great spot to take visitors.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised that there was no wait for a table. The servers were very friendly, we were seated right away, and they immediately took our drink orders. We got the breakfast tacos and the Sunny Seoul hash, which was part of their seasonal menu. The breakfast tacos were delicious but the hash was definitely a winner for me, I loved the bits of kimchi which gave the dish a nice kick. Definitely recommend

We really enjoyed our visit here. It was within walking distance from our AIRBNB which made it very convenient for breakfast before we set out for a day in Nashville. The place is well lit with natural light, plenty of seating, clean bathrooms, lots of parking and friendly service.The sweet tea is delicious and the Million Dollar Bacon is to die for (wasn't very crispy though). Service was quick and portions are decent for the cost.

We had a great brunch experience at First Watch on 8th Ave today! The wait was minimal even for a busy Saturday, we were seated within 10 minutes of arrival as quoted. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the food arrived exactly as described. The spiked lavender lemonade was the highlight for me as I love floral drinks.
