We were delighted with the extensive breakfast/brunch/lunch choices on a Saturday morning, enjoyed Eggs Benedict cooked to perfection and served quickly by a very personable waiter. I would say LOVED it except the Hollandaise was "fake" and made with a starch (probably flour) rather than traditional butter, egg yolk and lemon juice with a touch of cayenne. The sauce was tasty but the real thing would have been perfect. The atmosphere was very, very noisy and background music made it worse, rather than better. The great thing was that all of the diners seemed to be enjoying themselves and having a grand time, loud conversations competing with the music. It is strange to complain about but FIRST WATCH eating utensils are made for Paul Bunyan! The fork was huge and heavy which made me wish for a smaller and more delicate one such as was popular in Victorian days when homes had seperate SMALLER breakfast silverware. The experience was good and we do plan to return. FIRST WATCH is a great addition to the dining choices in Turkey Creek.

Great food, nice environment, but aweful service. We waited 20+ minutes to be seated (no problem), and another 8 just to get a waitress to stop by. Even though we were ready to order, were very specific about what we wanted, etc, the waitress had to be repeatedly reminded to bring nearly each individual thing (decaf coffee, juice, syrup, the side item that automatically came with my entre, etc). We also kept having to flag her (or even other servers/hosts) down to get this or that. The final part of my meal didnt come until we were nearly done eating and AFTER the check. Our server never pre-bused the table, no drink refills... I could go on, but you get the idea. Thank goodness the food was good, because thats the only thing thats making me consider going back.

I went to a firstwatch before in Tulsa and the food was excellent. Today my husband and I went in for breakfast, we ordered a decent priced meal. When I told the waitress my meal literally only had 4 itsy bits pieces of turkey she seems upset that I mentioned it. (I understand its not her fault: how is she supposed to have X-ray vision on an omelette). She took off my breakfast and seemed bothered. I then asked for coffee to go and my to go coffee conviently had a leak. For a breakfast averaging $17.50 per person after coffee and the AMAZING juice we ordered.. you think youd be a little less bothered

This place never disappoints. Today I tried the seasonal item Barbacoa Benedict and it was amazing . The flavors worked so well together toast with Barbacoa, two eggs, avocado, and pico de gallo. The sauce has amazing flavor too. It comes salad greens topped with lemon juice, and the salad was very fresh and went well with the Benedict. Service as always was top notch. By far one of my favorite breakfast spots period!

Never disappointed with First Watch. Always great food and service! They always help to make sure we have enough room for our daughters wheelchair and ask for our needs. They treat everyone as a friend and its a very warm atmosphere. Customers share in the experience, always warn and talking to one another. Wonderful place for any occasion!

I really like first watch. Great food, staff is super friendly and very attentive, the wait can be a bit long sometimes but they turn over table pretty quick so not too bad. And I guess if there is almost always a wait that is a great sign right? Awesome food. Will gladly keep going back.

Wonderful staff and food. Definitely join their rewards program, it is absolutely worth it! It is always clean and the food is perfect every time. Sandwiches in the morning? Absolutely. Pancakes for lunch? That too. Definitely worth a stop. Quick for interstate travellers as well.

Food is good, but service is not. We got rushed to finish our food from the get go, ruined the whole idea of a relaxing Saturday brunch for us. Its understandable if theres lines of people waiting to be seated, but that was not the case here; maybe it was just our waitress.

We came here while staying from out of town and it is delightful. We got the breakfast tacos and the seasonal skillet. The food is fresh, hot, and fast, with large servings (at least for the skillet). The staff is friendly and helpful. Everything was delicious.

We came in on a very busy after church day. But, the staff was on point and got through the rush of customers friendly and efficiently. Our wait to be seated was around 5 minutes. The servers were friendly and fast. Food was very good.

Good, fresh, beautiful food, little pricey but thats what you get when items on the menu say things like "artisan" and "free range". I would have rated it higher if it werent for the socially awkward millenials that serve there.

The coffee was the worst Ive had which ruined the breakfast for me. The only reason I gave them two stars instead of one is how the manager was polite and didnt charge us for our drinks when we cancelled our breakfast and left.

Things I like about First Watch: The food is excellent and interesting. I love the pot of coffee they put on your table. I love the fact they have copies of the WSJ and other papers you can read. I’ll keep going back.

Great service. I loved the smiling faces and helpfulness of each staff member. Food was good. However, limited Gluten-Free menu. Yet, the family really enjoyed their meals and service too.

Good food. One of my favorite breakfast places in the area. Last time we were there, we were surrounded by dirty tables sitting waiting to be cleaned. That was the only thing lacking.

Mothers Day 2017, fantastic meal... Millionaires Bacon is amazing!! Great outside seating, very good service. PS, Why do people have to bring their dogs to breakfast?

Great place for Sunday brunch with excellent healthy options. We enjoyed the food. The service was so-so, and it is a bit on the pricey side for breakfast.
