First Watch

Always fresh...If you're looking for a great brunch meeting place then this is it.Come for the meeting leave better than when you came in.

I was so glad to find out that First Watch had not left the Tulsa area for good--I used to love going to the location by ORU with my family, and was really sad to see it was closed when I moved back to town. This new location is even better--it is nice and airy and modern, with plenty of room to navigate the dining room, even with assistive devices like a rollator or wheelchair, whereas the other location could be a little cramped. It is also full of sunlight and decorated in a fresh but welcoming way.I was greeted immediately by a friendly server who gave me a few minutes to look at the menu while she got my coffee and water. I found that the menu looked just as delicious as always. It was really hard to choose one meal. I knew it would be a safe choice to have one of their classic breakfast meals like the Tri-Fecta with two eggs, pancake/waffle and breakfast meat. They have incredible omelets too.But in the end I ended up being enticed by the seasonal menu and the "Carne Asada Hash" special -- with "thinly sliced carne asada, crumbled chorizo and diced red bell peppers in a potato hash topped with two cage-free eggs. Cheddar and Monterey Jack, pico de gallo, avocado, radish, cilantro and jalapeño crema. Served with two warm wheat-corn tortillas." I asked for basted eggs (they are SO good on top of a hash.) The eggs were cooked perfectly with a nice creamy yolk and they oozed over the hash which was full of tender pieces of carne asada. The chorizo portion of the dish wasn't very prominent but that was fine by me because it can be easy for the strong flavored meat to take over a dish. The flavor was balanced overall and very satisfying for my lunch.The server continued to monitor my table and I appreciated her kind attention throughout the meal. I'm already looking forward to another trip back to First Watch--I promised to take my aunt along with me next time.

Cons: the online waitlist is very annoying. When I signed in online, they said it was a 15 to 25 minute wait. As we got there, they texted that our table was available and head inside. But when we got inside, they told us the wait was an additional 30 minutes. Which is fine. I loved hanging out with the people I was with. What is the point of the online waitlist? Our waitress was very busy and she kept saying how busy she was. My sandwich came with a salad. And I could not taste the salad dressing. It was supposed to be a lemon dressing? All my friends were making fun of me because I asked for more dressing. But I really couldn't taste anything on there. In the end I had to switch to a honey mustard dressing. And then they made fun of me for that. Pros: my friend mom loved her egg sandwich. And she is a picky eater. She's very hard to please. I got the BLT and it was delicious. It was a bit messy because I got eggs over easy. I got the kale juice. It was good.

Went in on the snow day and had a wonderful experience. I have asked every donut shop if they can make cake donut holes and they have ALL said no. I sit down and to my surprise on the table was this beautiful advertisement for cake donut holes I was so excited! They were everything I ever imagined and more. The food was great, hot and fresh. All of the servers that came by the table were so kind and happy. Everything was clean and had an open environment. Can't wait to go back.

A very nice new restaurant. Bright, comfortable, attractive colorful décor. A big painting of a bison stands guard behind the counter. The service is fast, attentive, excellent. Alexandra was our server. A very nice young lady who provided superb service. The first thing I noticed was the coffee. It was unusually good for café/restaurant coffee. Mellow flavors. Most importantly it had flavor, real coffee flavor. At most of these cafes, the coffee is so diluted that the filter used in brewing the coffee provides most of the flavor. A pot comes to the table with your cup. Serve yourself.Two First Watch's Traditional Breakfasts: 2 Eggs, bacon, seasoned potatoes, a slice of whole grain toast and a tasty fruit preserve for the toast. Most café seasoned potatoes are unacceptable. I prefer crispy hash browns. A surprise. These were very good. Crispy with onion and a little seasoning of some type. Check the pictures. These worked. Bacon, a generous amount. The whole grain toast with a smear of butter, was delicious by its self, and as a mop for the eggs. The fruit preserve on the other half of the toast brought the meal to a perfect ending.

We had a great experience at First Watch! We loved the Tulsa location on Lewis when it was open years ago and decided to try the newer Tulsa location and and did not disappoint. We put our name on the online waitlist before leaving the house and then checked in once we got there. We waited maybe 10 minutes before we were seated in the cute and clean restaurant and were greeted by our very sweet waitress. I got the iced coffee (which I had heard was delicious on social media), and it was pretty good! My step dad loved their pot of coffee and my mom loved the mint mocha iced coffee. I ordered the elevated egg sandwich and it was so good and the breakfast potatoes actually had flavor unlike a lot of breakfast potatoes I have tried recently. So good! We will definitely be back!

A very good breakfast with excellent service. A great place to have a morning brunch with friends

The multi grain pancakes were awesome and so was the million dollar bacon. I highly recommend this place.

Visited several times and food has always been good. My poor rating is how they manage peak times, they don't seem to mange the flow well. The turn around on tables is 8-10 minutes. Generally longer than stated wait times. When I asked today for an update 10 minutes after our quoted time (for just 2 people) they had no idea what to say except we were still #8 in line.

Johanna went above and beyond to help me. Really appreciate amazing customer service like that!
