First Watch

#1, the service was outstanding. The staff were very attentive and were extremely helpful. #2 (and most importantly) the food was amazing! So many choices and there was plenty on each plate. We went back to back morning during our visit from Atlanta. I loved the coffee so much I bought a bag of ground coffee to take back to Atlanta. We have our very own First Watch opening soon in Stockbridge Georgia and we will be the first in line. Thank you.

This place gets very busy after 0900, so be wary when you show up past that time. We got there before hand and were sat immediately. I initially ordered the seasonal crunchy breakfast tacos but were told the were no longer in season. This is why I docked a star for service. If you're going to have specials or seasonal's wetting on a board then have them. If not, scratch them off.I changed my order to farm house tacos (essentially the same thing with chorizo instead of bacon). They had good flavor. I the potatoes on the side were good as well.My wife got the lemon ricotta pancakes and they had great flavors as well. I'm just an old-fashioned pancake person so the multi-grain missed the mark for me. All-in-all, a good place nearby, but I still prefer others even if they are a bit further away.

The service was good but not so much the food. The waffle tasted airy and the fruit was flavorless. The food was underwhelming compared to other locations that I have patronized.The coffee and turkey sausages were good but the eggs were too cheesy.

I had the Steel Cut Oats breakfast. First rate! It included fruit laid out on top with sliced strawberries, fresh sliced banana, pecans, reduced-fat milk, brown sugar and a freshly baked muffin of the day which was blueberry. Beware the oats are piping hot! I used the milk to cool it down. The ramican of brown sugar was a nice touch. The blueberry muffin was fabulous. I would order this again and again!

Excellent restaurant. Food is unique and better than any other breakfast restaurant. Service is quick, friendly and organized. Atmosphere is modern and inviting.

We did add to waitlist on the website and when we got there, we were seated literally immediately. We were greeted with big smiles, politeness and clear communication. They were pretty busy, so it took a little bit for our waitress to greet us, but that gave us time to chat and browse the menu. The atmosphere is kinda loud, lots of chit chat, kids and different convos. But we don't mind the sound of people and happiness.My son and his best friend ordered the French toast. I don't think it even survived 5 mins on the table haha. I ordered the biscuits and gravy side; but it was plenty enough! It had a bit of a kick to it, but I'm not a spicy food person at all. So it was probably just my sensitivity. All in all, we love coming here and always feel like the whole staff truly cares and the chef put their hard work in to the food! Can't wait to come back!

Visiting a friend in Chesapeake and we decided to grab breakfast at First Watch before hitting the road back home.Our server brought the energy the entire time and was extremely attentive throughout our visit.They featured lemon blueberry cornbread on their summer menu (& on table toppers and their chalkboard) but when we ordered it we were told they weren't able to prepare it due to a shortage of ingredients from their suppliers :( BUMMER! However they did have the Shishito Pepper Hash which I ordered and absolutely loved! The potato hash itself was a flavor explosion and the pickled red onion, charred shishito peppers and brisket amplified things making the dish a true winner! The side of chicken sausage looked great however was just ok (I only ate 1/2 a patty).Overall it was a good breakfast and we arrived a little after 9am and did not have a wait, although when we were leaving there was a bit of a wait....but the restaurant provides free coffee while you're waiting which is a nice touch. Oh and there's ample parking as well.

The items on the menu are great! Portions are good, and nutritionally balanced. The drinks are made from fresh fruits and vegetables, never concentrated. The staff greets visitors with a welcoming smile. The ambiance conversational and restrooms are maintained regularly. As a former public servant, I recommend you take on the '1st watch' to enjoy one of the best quick service dining venues in Hampton Roads, VA.

First time here and I was pleasantly surprised with the service and the food as well. We had the trifecta and the traditional breakfast. It was a good amount of food. I had the sunrise fresh juice. They have different menus based on locations, I was hoping to try the corned beef hash but it was available.

Always good service, sometimes the wait sucks but its not something I'm going to take a star off for. Food is always good (I get the market hash with an over easy egg). The jam that comes with the toast is *chef kiss*.
