First Watch

Yall better give Bailey a promotion‼First watch is always great, but she literally made it so fun and a wonderful experience

Love FW! It never disappoints me. I always get the Million Dollar Bacon and I tried to Carne Asada Hash (but with grits instead of potatoes) and it was great! The Purple Haze is my go to drink.Service was great and it's always clean and busy when I go.

This is my local First Watch, a quick 3-minute drive from my apartment. I first tried to visit a year ago, but the floors were sticky and filthy and no one stopped by our table within a reasonable period, so we left and opted for a local spot instead.On a recent visit, a friend from out of town said he wanted to stop here, so off we went for breakfast. This time around was a totally different experience. Our server (I think his name was Justin? or Alex? one of the two) was super, super pleasant, like....I-want-what-he's-having pleasant. He was on the ball, very caring, and was all about the guest experience. Give him a raise.I ordered the coffee with free refills and my friend had the Morning Juice. Both were tasty. For our meals, we ordered the egg sandwich (me) and the power bowl (him). We both really liked our meals and the prices were reasonable for the quality.I wouldn't hesitate to return in the future or pick up takeout for a chill breakfast at home. Their takeout business seemed strong.

My goodness, the deliciousness of this place is OFF THE FREAKING SCALES. Going to try very hard not to curse in this review (because I don't think I'm allowed to), but the flavor party my meal here incited in my mouth is joyously profane and I'm upset there's not a location in NYC. Now there was a 45-minute wait here on a Sunday (which IS highly reminiscent of NYC), but I'd studied the menu beforehand and was already salivating over my pre-selected choices, so this brunch was going to happen.Firstly, the Purple Haze. Get the Purple Haze. There is nothing bad to say about the Purple Haze. Deliciously refreshing, sweet, florally nourishing to my soul, and so PRETTY. Lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender?? The description alone sold me before the taste.Next, the BISCUITS & TURKEY SAUSAGE GRAVY WITH EGGS. My Lord, I miss this dish already. The biscuits were PERECTLY fluffy and soft with a bit of crisp to the edges and the gravy was DECADENT. Also, UPGRADE TO THE MILLION DOLLAR POTATOES. They add parmesan sauce, bacon crisp and herbs, and we saw the picture of it on our table so there was no way we were passing this up. They were MOUTHWATERING. Being from NYC, we found the prices oh-so-affordable, AND the portion size is wonderful. To the point where I was getting full and UPSET at myself for getting full because I wanted to keep eating because it was so good and I couldn't. And I had to leave the leftovers with my uncle because they probably wouldn't travel well from VA back to NYC but I begged him to please not waste it because it would be a travesty. Also yea, the place was quite spacious (also has outdoor seating), interesting bathroom layout for the ladies room, every single employee from the waitress to the hostess to the stand-by-the-door-person-who-wasn't-a-host/hostess was genuinely friendly, helpful and accommodating which is great for such a popular place. EVERYTHING about it, worth it. If I ever have a chance to return here, I will throw up my hands and dance in delight.

Loved it! Waiter was truly nice and on top of our table. Just didn't catch his name. Totally going back

always a pleasure. customer service is still top tier. the food is always hitting. We were seated immediately. Our waiter's energy was immaculate. I have 0 complaints

I'm an avid first watcher but today was my first time at the willow lawn location! Really enjoyed it, we came maybe an hour and a half before closing so no long wait. Our server Michelle was awesome, our food and drinks came super fast. I usually go for the trifecta but decided to try something new and I'm glad I did! The smoked salmon frittata was so soooo good and healthy! Under 700 calories 30 carbs and 40 grams of protein!! The million dollar bacon is overhyped to me as non pork eater but my partner cannot visit without ordering a side of it, must be good!!

No wait at lunch.Started with their Million Dollar bacon x2 which was delicious.I had the Farmhouse Skillet: Eggs, avocado, seasoned potatoes, onions, roasted tomatoes, and cheese. This thing was unstoppable! 3 other meals were all enjoyed. Service was stellar! Had two 1st timers and everyone said they'd be back! So good, check them out!

My partner and I were looking for a place to grab breakfast before a road trip to DC, and she suggested this location as she's been to a few.This place was a surprise to me and I see myself going back if one is nearby. The location was in a convenient area for the type of place it is, I say this because usually these fancy types are in downtown areas which I hate. I loved the design of the place, I loved the presentation of the plates, and most important of all, the taste.I highly recommend their Purple Haze drink because as a man from the island who enjoys raw sugar cane, this drink utilizes well for a wonderful sweet drink. I ended up taking two to go for later lol.Only gripe with the location is the price can be on the higher side, but that's about it. Great staff and food.

The food is picture perfect every time. I always switch it up when I come here, and I'm never disappointed.
