First Watch is a nice spot for breakfast or lunch. The food is tasty and fresh, the service is friendly. It's clean, cozy, and the prices are good.

Great Food and Service! Will definitely enjoy stopping by again! Very nice environment to enjoy while eating.

Since my last visit about a year ago, the service and food have improved substantially. We received multiple visits from waitress who was very accommodating and pleasant. The breakfast was very good, as was the coffee, and they added beignets to menu which were great. Will definitely return soon!

Came to first watch on Veteran's day to celebrate the new bride and groom from a wedding we attended the night before. The restaurant staff was very accommodating as we were a party of 30. While we did have to wait a while due to our size and lack of punctuality, the staff remained professional and courteous. We sat as three separate parties but all in nearby areas and nobody minded. Our server, Elijah, was fabulous and so fun! He started a huge cheer for the newlywed couple and even comped their meals. The food was delicious and came out quickly even with our large party and a full diner besides us. The seasonal double crunch breakfast tacos were so yummy! The pancakes here are huge and phenomenal and they know what they are doing when they add in the perfect amount of chocolate chips. I tried the super fruit bowl and it was also very tasty but if you don't like chia seeds it could be a weird texture for you. Overall, very good experience and great time!

First Watch is a chain restaurant. While we usually prefer to patronize local independent restaurants, we are not opposed to trying a chain once in a while. On this particular Sunday morning we arrived about 8:30 am. There were a few groups seated outside enjoying their breakfast and that made us fearful that there were no tables available inside. We were wrong. There were plenty of tables available inside as well as a bar for single diners who might prefer that seating. We were promptly greeted and taken to our table. Be forewarned, if you get cold inside restaurants due to air conditioning, bring a fleece jacket. I forgot mine on this visit. The restaurant is spacious and open. You definitely do not feel like you're seated next to other diners who can listen to your every word. The server was also prompt pleasant and returned swiftly not only with water glasses but a bottle of water for our easy refilling. She also brought a carafe of coffee for my dining companion. We ordered the seasonal Salted Caramel Holey Donuts. My dining companion loved these! I thought they were a little too cakey for my liking. They made up for it with the glaze and toppings though! The plate came with a baker's dozen donut holes, plenty for sharing with a larger party. My companion also ordered the Million Dollar Bacon, which was delicious! The bacon was sweet, savory and crisp! I ordered the Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos, which included 3 wheat-corn tortillas with scrambled cage-free eggs, Cajun chicken, chorizo, Cheddar and Monterey Jack. Topped with fresh avocado and pico de gallo. Although the entree is served with seasoned black beans, I requested breakfast potatoes and they made the substitution without additional charge. I think the meal was served in less than 7 minutes. I was astonished at the speed of service and speed of food, though we were not made to feel rushed. I think the secret to getting a table swiftly is to arrive prior to 9 am. That's when the pace of diners started to pick up. I would gladly return to this location again. The food was excellent and the service was on point.

Finally got a first watch in Tallahassee! The restaurant is a spacious and has a great morning atmosphere. I ordered the chicken quinoa bowl and carnitas breakfast quesadillas both did not disappoint! For the chicken quinoa bowl, the pesto dressing gave a nice balance for the quinoa and the roasted tomatoes added to the flavor all finishing it up with heathy portions of kale, shedded carrots, and grilled chicken. The quesadilla was also delicious with the carnitas and egg in the quesadillas and jalapeño crema on top. For my drink I got the watermelon wake up! Tasted like I was sitting on the beach eating a fresh slice of watermelon yum! Val was my Waitress she was very sweet and always had a smile on her face. Food service was quick and overall experience was excellent. Will definitely come back again.

I enjoyed my first visit to this First Watch! It's spacious and definitely a welcoming environment. I enjoyed my salmon frittata. It was something new. I found it tasty. One of my brunch mates said it was salty. Someone ordered the shrimp and grits and did not enjoy it. Overall it was a pleasant visit. I did have to ask for things (water, kids menu) a second time which I didn't love, but our waitress apologized.

We first encountered First Watch quite a few years ago in Orlando and enjoyed breakfast there. Many years later we now have one in Tallahassee and, once the new wore off, we have been a couple of times. Breakfast and drink post-pandemic is now about $15 per person at most of the places in town where we enjoy having breakfast (besides my money saving Denny's) and at First Watch you better be prepared for $20 per person. Interior is open and roomy with lots of booths or tables and chairs for seating. Service is friendly and attentive. Food has taken awhile to come out when we have gone there and it was not crowded. The lemon ricotta pancakes are the star of the menu. The other things we have tried have been fine but no wow. For us, if they didn't have the lemon ricotta pancakes then we would go elsewhere for breakfast and save a little money. I know we will be back for those pancakes once I get over the sticker shock of our latest meal and I will let you know if I find anything else that is wow on the menu.
