We have loved First Watch for years in south Tampa and have moved to Brandon for a time. We use the app and like its features. This Sunday we checked the app before leaving the house and it started no wait so we could not get on the wait list. Once we arrived, we noticed a wait and was told by the hostess that the app was not updating properly and it would be a 20 min wait. We sat down expecting to wait our time. After 15 min, we noticed people arriving after us and being seated immediately. I checked the app and it stated a 30-45 min wait. We asked the hostess where we were in line, she stated the app was now updating and all people will be seated before us as per there place in line using the app. We left knowing we would waiting additional 45+ min. We are shocked there is no process in place to accommodate walk-ins when the app is not working. Its a shame we wont be visiting First Watch until we make it back to South Tampa.

The food was Good, but everything else was bad! First time going to a First watch. They told me it was going to be a 45 min wait for a table, we went to a store in the near by plaza, and they texted table was ready in about 10 min (Not a bad thing) but when we went to get table they had given it away and we had to wait longer. the waiter we had was the worst waiter ever "Travis" he introduced him self, took our drink orders and didnt bring them for about 10 min, and after bringing drinks he didnt show back up for about 15 min to take order, (probably woulda been longer if i didnt finally notice him and wave him over). We had to get a coffee refill from another waiter cause he was a ghost, and the only time he stopped to ask if everything was alright, and if we wanted anything else was after he brought the check.... really.

***Quick Tip download the No Wait app to get in line before you get to the restaurant*** Ive been attempting to take my family here for a while now after going to a VA location on business but its ALWAYS packed. We decided to suck it up and wait the 45 minutes today, which I never ever do, but I can happily say it was well worth it. After we finally got inside we didnt feel rushed at all, the food came out quickly and it was just as good if not better than I remembered. Our server Ashley was very sweet and attentive, handing everything like a pro which was very impressive given how busy they were. Portions were huge and delicious, the place was bright and clean, we loved it!

The food was okay, not much taste (I got the healthy turkey breakfast). It comes with a decent portion of egg, very little turkey and its sprinkled with Fetta cheese. Not bad. But then on the same plate they give you three slices of tomato. Seriously? Nine bucks and I get two eggs, two pieces of bread, three tomato slices and very little turkey in the eggs. Definitely way more pricey than it should have been. Also Service was slow, its 11am and its not that busy in here. I have eaten at a few different first watch restaurants in the area and Ive yet to be blown away by anything Ive eaten at this franchise.

Very disappointed!! I was excited to go here, had been before and it was such a let down. I ordered a side of seasoned potatoes and were burnt...black burnt. It looked like they had scrape the pot were they made it and the thin layer that got stuck at the bottom is what I had in my plate, which showed me the lack of attention or care from the server who shouldnt even had brought the plate out to the table. I refused them for obvious reasons to had the server bring out potatoes LESS burn but still burnt. Very disappointed to say the least, especially for the prices they charge.

Staff is really nice, food took Waaayyyy too long to come out, long wait because of popularity, and they keep the place uncomfortably cold. Overall, not bad...but not great. Update.....I added two stars to this review because the management staff acknowledged my wait and took care of me. I think that was incredibly thoughtful, and because they did the right thing by me, they not only earned a better review, they have earned my continued business, and my recommendation to friends. Thank you First Watch Brandon! Well Done!

Im a huge breakfast fan, but beyond that Im a huge FIRST WATCH fan! They have lots of healthy, friendly options but everything is incredibly yummy! The biggest pancakes, most refreshing juices, absolutely to die for "healthy turkey" eggs. They also have lunch options but I get breakfast no matter when I come! The environment is refreshing and clean (and lovely) and the employees always make you feel like youre their favorite customer. They do get BUSY! So call ahead to get a spot! They also have a nice community table.

Great place to eat. Atmosphere is fantastic. The wait can be a deterrent, but it is worth the wait. The coffee is quite tasty, specially for the type of establishment. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of their menu. Definitely a must try. They also have this awesome concept called "Community Table", it is a first come first served hi-top table. I think it is a great concept because it allows you to avoid the wait and lets you meet new folks. Great way to grow "your" community.

We checked with a party of 2 in at 0945 on a Sunday morning. The hostess told us it would be 15-20 minutes. At the 30 minute mark I asked how much longer it would be and the host that was at the door said "Im sorry but she obviously misquoted the time". "Im just a greeter, but you may speak with our manager to find out out much longer it would be". So we left. I find it odd that a greeter couldnt tell us how much longer the wait was going to be.

I got a Super Kale salad to go...no almonds no cranberries no Parmesan cheese, just a hand full of dry kale and a stick of bread. I honestly didnt think I had to check my order before I left. It was very disappointing since I always come for a day glow and it was my first time trying the food. All food aside the customer service is good. Im am really upset I purchased a gift card and then this happened.

Really no stars…. The coffee was terrible, and they had little containers of cream like you get in a gas station mini mart. The english muffin was barely toasted with a tiny bit of something, not butter, on it. The eggs were over cooked. But the bacon was good. For the price, the meal was totally NOT worth it! Wont be going back...

Ordered one scrambled egg with one sausage link. Was brought out a full meal. I returned the fruit and toast. My waitress explained she knew i didnt order that but thought I would like it anyway. My scrambled egg was a soft boiled egg shopped up. My sausage was burnt and there prices are way to high. Not going to return.

Our favorite place for breakfast, in Brandon. The food is always fresh, well made and delicious. Wait staff is friendly and helpful. We dont love that there is usually a wait, but it worth it for good quality food. Prices are fair and the establishment is clean. Always recommend to friends.
