First Watch

I visited this location on Sunday, March 8th, 2026, early in the morning—well before the church crowd or any real rush. I came in expecting the usual experience I’ve had here over the years, but unfortunately today was the complete opposite. When I politely asked the host about sitting in a booth, I was denied in a very snobby tone and told it was “COMMON COURTESY,” as if I was somehow being rude just for asking. The way it was said felt very dismissive and disrespectful. After leaving, I called the restaurant hoping to speak with a manager to calmly explain what happened. The person who answered the phone sounded like the same host. When I asked for a manager, I heard what sounded like a smirk or laugh, and then the call was hung up on. I called back again, and this time someone claimi

I am here on work and always look for healthy options when I stumbled upon First Watch. I was greeted immediately and got a seat at 1230 pm on a Friday as they do close at 2:30 pm. The restaurant is clean and cozy with a farmhouse decor, giving life on the farm vibes. I started with the green juice which was tasty and refreshing. I had a wrap from the "healthier side" of the menu which was delicious and only 500 calories. The wrap had turkey, egg whites and fresh mushrooms which was surprisingly flavorful and a side of mixed fruit. I recommend this as a place that has something for everyone when looking for brunch!

Had a great breakfast at First Watch in Tampa! The General Manager John comped my meal with their “Make My Day Brighter” program which was such a nice surprise. I’m celebrating my bachelorette weekend, and this was the perfect way to kick things off. I had the blueberry pancakes, eggs, and chicken apple sausage and everything was really good. The pancakes were fluffy, the eggs were just right, and the sausage had a nice flavor. Service was great, everyone was friendly and on top of things. The coffee was hot and tasty and they kept it coming. Overall it was such a nice experience. Big thanks to John and the team for starting my day off right!

My husband and I had brunch at the Riverview location on my birthday a few days ago. Hunter took most excellent care of us. He has a great personality. Our food was amazing!!! Hubby got a waffle with chicken sausage and eggs, and I had the seasonal brisket and bacon biscuit with cheesy grits. You need to get in there just for that biscuit sandwich!! 10 out of 10!!! Oh, and the restaurant is very clean! So important!

Disappointed with this omelette. It was the thinnest omelette I’ve ever been served… it was more like a flat egg wrap than a fluffy omelette. The ingredients weren’t properly incorporated; they were just folded inside in a thin layer. On top of that, it was served cold. First and last time here.
