Amazing food, even greater service. Had the short rib hash and it was mouth watering good. My wife had the pancake breakfast also amazing. We ordered a side of that vacon and it was so good!! Will def be back.
Tried First Watch for the first time and I will be back the food was mouth-watering delicious. The waffle was very tasty. Will be taking my dad for Fathers day.
Great food. I will be back. Well, to the one in Atlanta that is... lol.
My first time trying First Watch with my love. It was everything. I will some definitely be back. Even though I had something so simple as grits, eggs and bacon. There are definitely other things that I want to try on the menu.
Amazing fresh and creative breakfast/brunch food selections. They also have a juice and cocktail bar.
Had a pretty brutal experience here. Had high hopes but I just couldn’t get over the food we received. First of all, our waitress was excellent. No issues with her. We ordered a poached egg only to receive a boiled egg. Then we sent it back. They fixed that issue but the crab cakes came back burnt. Potatoes were also burnt. Overall food was weak. Drinks were cool, atmosphere was pleasant. Wouldn’t come back though. They did accommodate babies with a special high chair for car seats and our waitress (piercings) was absolutely amazing. Hopefully it was just a bad day. I liked the vibes here.
Absolutely fantastic food. All of the staff were friendly and knowledge about the menus items ingredients and were able to give me recommendations just by telling them the types of things I enjoy eating. Everything was super fresh and theres no doubt it was all made in house from scratch. So delicious. I would recommend checking in online before heading there on the weekends though. Because of how amazing they are, they get really busy with lines forming out the door. Well worth the wait.
I really enjoyed this restaurant. The menu was awesome with an array of items for everyone. The food was so delicious and presentation was beautiful. Compliments to the waitstaff and kitchen for wonderful service.
Staff was friendly and well trained. Food was delicious and there were so many healthy options. Location was clean and maintained. I just wish the location was bigger/had more tables.
First time visit on Saturday morning. The food was amazing...If you havent been please go and also please visit the website and get on the waitlist because if you dont you may not get a table.The food was so fresh and delicious. The only negative word from me is sizing of the restaurant. 💬💬 But the hostess says locations in Grovetown and North Augusta are coming soon ...so thats a PLUS ❤❤❤❤
Ate here for the first time today and WOW. our server was so very sweet, and the food was amazing! and hot! Didn’t take too long to come out at all. I got the biscuits and gravy and it was so freaking good! the seasoned potatoes are heaven, and the MILLION DOLLAR BACON. taste unbelievably good! I will definitely be back!
Food is amazing every time! Hands down, this is the best breakfast spot.
One of my favorite places to eat! Reasonable prices, consistent great customer service and have never had an order that wasn’t perfect! I’d give them 10 stars if I could. My kids ask to come here weekly! Keep up the great work team!
Good food, my 2nd time here and each time its good. This time around they had a watermelon drink that was delicious. Perfect for this hot summer heat.
We’ve ordered a few times from First Watch, and have had great food, but we’re really disappointed today. We understand price hikes, but the servings we received we’re not what we’re pictured on the menu for 2 of our items. The Works Omelette was great (first photo), but the Barbados quesadillas looked they were thrown into the plate with 1 poached egg instead of two (second photo). A side of fruit was also ordered, but the cup was half-filled. We know the folks are working hard, but this visit was disappointing.
Love this breakfast spot! Very well attended, so you will need to put yourself on the waiting list. But the food is great and the service is excellent. Been here several times and never had a bad visit.
This was hands down the best meal in Augusta so far. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes, superb 👌. Hubbs had the floridian french toast, he liked the fresh fruit. Kiddo had the half waffle. In addition to breakfast I got the morning meditation fresh juice, awesome, the orange juice and ginger stand out and the beets are definitely present but not overpowering like they could be. A side of potatoes was split by the family and we order an extra side of bacon for kiddo, two peices was not enough.
Our first trip to first watch and I was very impressed. The food was fresh and flavorful, lots of options on the menu for pretty much any taste. Service was great as was the outdoor seatings
Tasty well proportioned breakfast w adult drinks. Make sure you sign in online as it cuts your wait time to 20-30 mins once you actually check in an confirm in person. The tacos were the best!! If you enjoy Lox the eggs benedict w alaskan salmon is just that and decadent with a very light and lemony hollandaise sauce. The shrimp an grits have andouille sausage and sundried tomatoes so very strong flavors. The bloody mary is old school quaint and tomatoey while the Vodka an kale tonic os grassy cucumber an refreshing if you dont let it sit and thicken. The pomegranate sunrise will awaken you. I will definitely go back but the others in party preferred old school breakfast over upscale an wait. Atmosphere is gentle and you can carry on conversation easily. The service is outstanding even busy as that seems to be their standard pace. Bravô I will be back on special occ. or mid week.
The bacon was great but not worth the 2 hour wait, cold omelets, and dressing-less salad
Stopped by with my man on a Thursday morning around 9am. We were seated immediately upon walking in. Place was definitely packed so I was surprised we didn’t have a wait. Our waitress, Makayla, was AMAZING! We definitely ordered a lot of food and drinks and she kept everything coming as quickly as she could. I ordered a coffee and a cinnamon toast breakfast drink w rum and coffee, it was very good! Like a pumped up iced coffee. We tried the million dollar bacon which was delicious, salty and sweet but a kick of heat at the end. We had the lemon ricotta pancakes w strawberries on top, they were delicious. My guy got the breakfast trio that had two eggs, protein and waffle (French toast or pancakes were option w this). The pancakes are HUGE! I would absolutely recommend and would be back.
Everything was good. Had the Pirple haze drink very delicious. Had the Quesadilla Benedict, very delicious and flavorful. Will be back for more. Service was awesome as well
What an extensive menu to choose from. And very healthy and fresh! Cant wait to return
I got the traditional breakfast and it was SO stinking good! Highly recommend!
I was surprised there was no wait time at 10:00. Our server was great and recommended some good dishes including these breakfast tacos which were fabulous. Still think the prices costly when you add tip in and no drinks it was still $40 for two people for breakfast. That is my only downside from going back more often
First time at the First Watch but it wont be my last! Rayna is a terrific waitress, I see why shes training the new help! Breakfast tacos and mimosas were delicious!
Love this place! Food is great and served hot- even when they’re busy! We’ve been served by Anthony both times we’ve been here and he is an outstanding server- attentive, engaged, helpful and friendly. We’ll be back!
Food was very very good, and the portions are way more than enough. The waitress was excellent respectful. I definitely will be going here again.
The food was absolutely fantastic. Brandy was our waitress she was on point for everything didn’t have to ask she was right there with it. Awesome place to have breakfast or brunch
Good service and the food was delicious!
Food was great with a large portion size. Orange juice was fresh. I want to go back and try more of the menu.
Amazing food. Yummy drinks. Excellent service
My take, food is fantastic, service fantastic. There was a 1 hour wait but, the experience makes it all worth it. Ill definitely return.
The food is good. Took a long time to be served after being seated. You can only order limited alcoholic beverages from the bar. The place is new so liquor license has restrictions. That’s what the server told us idk. They have really fresh juices. The decor and cleanliness of the place is nice.
I have been to this restaurant 3 time and it has steadily gotten worse. The first time it was great. Service was awesome. Second time my food showed up 15 after everyone else’s at our table. And the last time, we were told it would be a 45 min wait to eat inside and they could seat us right away if we ate outside. So we opted for outside. We sat outside with no acknowledgement for 25 min. Servers kept poking their heads out but never served us. We ended up getting up and walking out. As we were walking out the hostess asked us what was wrong and we told her no one was serving us. She didn’t even seem to care or make it right. I loved the food here, but I will never be back!
The food is amazing 100 % ! The service not so great from the time you are greeted and our waitress was bit either overwhelmed or just not good with communicating with the public very well but other then that the kitchen was top notch with the food!
This place is always busy, but if you call ahead you”ll cut your wait time significantly. The menu is unique and features a lot of healthy options, but I would suggest going here on your cheat day. Portion sizes are huge and everything is good, you’ll always need a to go box. Prices are reasonable, you could indulge in this treat on a regular basis without breaking the bank. The wait staff is hit or miss, I’ve been there a few times and they’ve been really busy every time, but my service varied drastically each time based on the servers. You can tell who the pros are. This is a great place for a Saturday morning breakfast, but be sure to call ahead.
Food was soooo good and staff was amazing!!! Don’t go here if you on a budget tho it’s pretty expensive. People in the back nosey too lol..
Food is always amazing however don’t sit outside unless you want to be forgotten and not even a water… had to go inside to ask for an order to be put in. Waiter came and said no one notified them?? Heard the same for another table!! Plenty of staff came in and out to clean off tables
Delicious 😋 We went on a Sunday. It was extremely busy and a reservation is highly recommended as some people waited over an hour to be seated. My chicken pesto bowl was absolutely delicious and my husband devoured his food. We would definitely go back again
The first time I went, the experience was good. The waitress was great and the food came out quick and it was tasty. This second time I went, I sat at the bar since it was just me. The waitress was nice however the food not so much. The grits were hard and had no flavor and the food took a long time to come out. I ordered the friscata and it had no flavor, it was dry and looked over cooked. I wss disappointed because I waited a long time for that food. I probably will not be returning because all the wait and the food was not worth the 23 dollars I paid.
This place is legit, and Im glade to see this area getting more restaurants with creative food and drink menus.
What a refreshing experience! These days, it seems there are mostly disinterested employees and marginal food quality/presentation. Not at First Watch! We were greeted right away at the door and given a table. Our server, Heather, appeared seconds after we sat down. This was our first visit, so it took us awhile to look at the menu. Heather was very attentive and friendly but also gave us our space. Our food was delivered promptly and it was delicious and presented well. Restrooms were sparkling clean and well stocked. Thank you for a fantastic meal and experience. We will definitely be back!
Had a bit a of a hiccup with my order (shrimp and grits and blueberry pancake)twice, but the manager did a good job to rectify the issue. My adult kids enjoyed their meal however. I will try it again
Lovely social gathering spot, waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable of the food items. The food was out of this world delicious!
I am so blessed to be a worker there.. I love the food and we have a dynamite workers!! I tell everybody about us!! I love the hours and I can be home when my children got home from school. Great management team Ive been blessed to work for and with!! #teamworkmakesthedreamworkI
My wife and i went for breakfast on my birthday and loved it. Our server name was Angelo and he was awesome. Great place and i will definitely come back. I 100% recommend First Watch!
Food is amazing and so is the service! Just reserve online on the weekends because it can get busy!
If you like fresh this is the place. The OJ is great. Had the traditional breakfast they know how to butter the toast and the ham was just right on.
The food here is so so good! My go to is the farmhouse hash, but my husband likes to change it up depending on their seasonal menu. We go every Sunday. Sometimes we takeout but mostly dine in. The servers are so kind & really do an amazing job.
My daughter treated me to Brunch on Mothers DayThe food was delicious, and we got great service. It is definitely worth a visit.
Great food and love this place, but the wait times are out of control, every time we go theres at least a 45min wait.
Love this place! The service is good, it is very clean inside and the food came out quickly and was very fresh. The french toast is amazing! I would definitely recommend.
Stephanie the manager is greatFriendly and goes the extra mile in taking care of everythingBeen going to First Watch for 28 yearsYes they have been around that longGreat food
After being seated, it took almost 15 min before anyone came to our table, then it took almost another 15 min for the server just to bring us water. Then after placing our order it took almost an hour to get part of our food, which I understand cause it was busy but when people who literally arrived 15 minutes after we placed our order started to get their food before us it was a little upsetting, what was even more upsetting was that I didnt get my food until almost 20 min after the rest of the people in my table did. I attribute this to me being the only Mexican at the restaurant, its not the first time Ive been discriminated against in a restaurant and its the worst feeling ever it was so bad I couldnt even enjoy my food. You would think in this day in age that type of behavior wouldnt exist especially in a place like this but I guess I was wrong. So disappointing to say the least.
Brunch was delicious. Dont forget to add the million dollar bacon and morning meditation to your tri-fecta. It does not disappoint. The skillet potatoes looked great with their omelet, cant wait to try it...
I had to only give three stars not so much because the food but because of customer service. I go out of my way to come here sometimes twice a week. Now Ive learned to always call in because I live a town over to decrease the wait time. My first time experience was not great but I was convinced to give them another chance because the food was good. I initially thought lack of customer service was because they were busy and sometimes when places are overwhelmed youre not going to the best the customer service. However I started to call in ahead of time but everything trip something is not right and they dont have the best attitudes.On one occasion I was charged for something that I get didnt get when I brought it to their attention the manager acted liked it was an inconvenience for her to refund me. This last time I tried to call in my order but the phone was not working .I know that sometime businesses take their phones off the hook when theyre extremely busy.When I arrive they didnt seem that they were busy at all. When I arrived I initially told the hostess that I attempted to call several times to place my order and didnt know if they were aware that their phone line was not working. She looked at me with a blank stare and told me I could place my order at the bar. The issue didnt get acknowledge until the another worker came over and asked could they help me and I told them I had already placed my order but when I mentioned the phone issue to her she immediately went to the manager and told her about it. Maybe the initial hostess didnt realize when people cant place orders thats a loss for the businesses. I didnt mind waiting on my order but some was cold when I received it. Every time I visit most of the workers if you look on their faces they dont look like their happy to be there. I dont know whats going on in the background but just to let you know it shows.
Food was absolutely delicious! Very good service.
One of the best breakfast Ive ever had. Definitely going back.
There was a 1 hour wait but the food was worth it. Service was a little slow but the staff was friendly.
Super service, super food, their site is awesome, the people are friendly, fun and energetic!
Great food omg... Go there!!!! Amazing!!!!!
Coming back several times...goal is to work through the menu.
Absolutely delicious 😋
Super busy on the weekends! Enjoyed the Mimosas, food was okay, and it had a great atmosphere for socializing. Can easily accomodate a party of 6 in their booths. Overall, great experience.
Walked in to pick up an order and was completely ignored BY 5 DIFFERENT EMPLOYEES for over 5 minutes (even when I was the only one standing there) while EVERYONE ELSE that walked through the door was helped immediately. I’ve never dined in & was anxious to, but now I’m not sure if I’ll ever order to go again.
Wait longer than expected and ignored by our waitress. Loud in the entire restaurant. Bad service all around
Food is great, but I’ve eaten here so many times and order online quite a bit but it’s gotten to the point where it takes over an hour and half before your online order is ready. And they don’t care how long you wait. All I ordered was a Super Bowl and it takes hours to make smh!
Great food, atmosphere and staff. We will definitely be back.
I brought my baby here for brunch and it was delicious. Definitely make sure to go to their website and put yourself in line while you are getting ready to leave the house lol. The place is delicious and always a wait, but worth the wait. I had the blueberry muffin pancakes with scrambled eggs and chicken patty sausage and my love had the french toast with scrambled eggs and pork sausage. Delicious
Waited 2 hrs for a table. Once ordered food everyone at my table received their food except my order and two special drinks. After everyone at my table finish eating I received my food but was not made correctly. I asked for the toppings that were missing but never received gave up and just ate what I had. Potatoes on my plate and another guest at my table were very salty. Not worth the wait especially if food dont come out right.
Im probably the first person to review this place...so here it goes! My husband just finished building this fine cafe six days ago. I witnessed it come to life and was was one the first to sample the food. The selections here are so incredibly HEALTHY and delicious. The First Watch prides itself on FRESH FRESH FRESH ingredients so you know its GOOD! I hope yall will consider eating here. Vegans and meat eaters will delight in this menu.
Food and juice were delicious and it pays to get there early to beat the lunch crowd.
My party refused to eat our food.We waited an hour to receive our food, only to have to wait an addition 20 minutes to get 2 plates that got forgotten. The food looked great but by this time everyones food was cold. Our server was very courteous and spoke to the manager on our behalf who said the food was on the house. We couldnt enjoy cold food so we left. The staff is great, super nice, and willing to help, but theyre a new location and they have a lot to work on and improve upon. They seem to be unable to handle a dinner rush without leaving their customers waiting. I may go back someday, but not for a while.
Great place for group breakfast or brunch. Went here half a dozen times and never had a poor experience. It is pretty popular so wait times due to all tables being seated is common. Takeout is extremely fast and amazing quality
Excellent brunch spot! The food is always fresh and delicious and the service is always great. Nice place to get together with friends. Outside patio is fun for dining when the weather is nice. Highly recommend! French toast is great. Basic breakfast is yummy. Juices are excellent!
If you like this place you eat there. Don’t get take out. I had to go back twice to pick up my food. They gave me an incomplete order when they handed me the bag. I went back and I was told that “I forgot” to get the rest of the order. I got home again to discover missing food from the items we ordered. I had got to eat cold eggs. At over $60 for breakfast this in not acceptable. Won’t be making any more orders. Ever.
The staff is Great !The Food is really goodThe prices are very high, especially for the small portion size. Just makes you feel like the chain is squeezing every penny out of you. You are around $20 a person for a meal, coffee and tip.
First time at first watch. Great experience. Courtney rocks🤘
Great service and food. Not your average breakfast diner, a bit on the expensive side but worth it.
Got the lemon ricotta pancake. Very delicious and it was huge! Good share item. The menu has so many options from frittatas to shrimp and grits. There was nice vibe and the staff was friendly.
Great brunch spot! Food was delicious..
Went here for the first time and it was spectacular. Food was great, service was great. Everything was great. There were a ton of choices on the menu. Atmosphere of the restaurant was really cool. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back again!
Great meals and great service. Highly recommended. Ill be back.
What a devine atmosphere and an amazing light lunch/ brunch menu options! Staff is friendly AND bathrooms are clean😲! Lol
Although the wait time was 2 hours...it was worth it. I will definitely be going back whenever Im in town.
Delicious fresh food! Quick service and large portions.
The Food was very good.However the wait is outrageous.me and my family waited 1 hour and 55 minutes to get seated and was definitely not worth the 2 hour wait and people around me are very unhappy as well about there very long wait don’t know if I’ll comeback next time.
First time eating here and it wont be our last! Great food and great service! Thanks Anthony!!
Loved it so much, we stopped here twice! We were driving through to the East Coast and had such delicious food and such wonderful service, we stopped by on our way back home. My husband highly recommends the breakfast tacos (like is still talking about them a week later) and the banana pancakes were delicious! My kids loved their waffles and fruit as well! Clean restaurant, delicious food, great environment, and wonderful service. Also, our second time through, we got our food so fast, my kids (PreK age) are still talking about how fast the service was haha!
Food was delicious! The lemon ricotta pancakes were amazing. Thank God for takeout bc it was super packed inside and outside but my food was ready when they said it would be. So glad there is another brunch spot ( with a better menu)!
Waited over 15 mins to be served and no one came to our table. We saw someone poke their head outside the first mins. The group that was leaving informed us they had terrible service. We got up and left. Never again.
Good breakfast, excellent service 👌 my waiter so sweet.
3/29/2022 11amishBrunch with familyArrived Hostess took our name #stated it will be 5 minute wait for table. Gave us a minute to look over while waiting. It actually took less than 5 minutesVery accommodating-had 3 babies with us.Brittany our server was very patient as we waited for a late party.Food was fresh and fillingEnvironment was clean and invitingFirst timeWon’t be last time
We had planned to have brunch with our friends and this was the spot that was picked. We were on the list at 10am and we got our table at 10:04. There were 6 of us, 4 adults & 2 kids — but they sat us in a booth. It would’ve been better if we were in a table with individual seats. We were the booth closest to the kitchen. We had 1 ticket but our food came out 15mins (kids meals), 20mins (2 adult meals), 30mins (1 adult) and 45mins (my meal) later. Wow. I didn’t even get my meal until after everyone was already done eating. My “order” came out and it was all wrong. The server said, “it’s pretty close” — no, it’s not. And I ordered a specific item, I didn’t ask to be given “something close to it”… What the heck was up with that?!?!? I’m pretty disappointed with the service overall.
I had the chikichanga it was very delicious, the green chiles gave it so much flavor. I tried the vodka kale tonic, tasted like a detox. different & interesting. loved the morning meditation, healthy & delicious. The staff was also nice & we got seated quickly we went on a tuesday afternoon
A coworker and I ordered our food over the phone because we were unsure if we would be able to sit for lunch. We were actually able to make it and had informed the hostess of this. We retrieved our food after be placed at a table. Not one waiter/waitress came to our table. I originally did not order a drink on my pick up order, but ate my food without a drink because no one came to our table. We were finally able to flag down a waitress and let her no we had no service. Another waiter finally came, she was not management, and gave us an excuse about why we werent properly served. One of the worst experiences Ive had at a eating establishment. There was not resolution made for the mishap.
We usually go to 1st Watch and enjoy the food and atmosphere, but that all change during a recent visit. Our waitress really seem disinterested and disengaged. We ordered the million dollar bacon to go along with our breakfast entrees and the bacon came to our table and 26 minutes later out meals came. With that my wife and daughter ordered the potatoes with their meals and they were obviously burnt! The waitress had to see what we saw and made the decision to serve this to us. We asked her about this but she was unwilling to do anything until I asked for her manager. Like I said, we have always enjoyed 1st Watch but it may be awhile before we come back. We also have pictures!
Stephanie and Kesi are so kind. Beautiful restaurant and excellent service.
I go here every so often with my family and the food is always delicious every time Ive been. Were always greeted by kind, upbeat employees and it makes the whole experience that much better. Very much recommend trying this place out if you havent tried it!!!
First Watch is always delivering quality and delicious food. One of my favorite breakfast places in the area.
Good food except my potatoes were slightly burnt
A bit expensive, but WORTH IT! Egg dishes and pancakes and BACON! FIVE stars, not kidding!
I drink butterfly pea flower tea at home so to see it on the menu excited me. Its a tasty drink.
Had eggs Benedict. Food was good and staff were great
Food was great! Unfortunately the blonde curly haired hostess was not. We walked in and asked about the wait for 2, and were told with an attitude that it would be about 45 minutes, which was fine. We waited in the car for 50 minutes and when we came back in, she tried to convince us to sit at the bar with a snarky attitude. I’m guessing they needed it to combine with another table for a larger party, but maybe when trying to convince guests to accommodate your responsibility after having waited for a table, not the bar, watch the attitude. Other than that our server was super sweet and the rest of the experience was great!
This place is great and the wait wasnt terrible.
Tried them out for a late breakfast on a Saturday morning. Nice brightly lit place with plenty of staff. I got the Parma Hash Skillet that came with a side of fruit. Very tasty and filling. The Italian sausage was crumbled and plentiful. I liked the thick multi-grain toast too. My friend got the smoked ham and gruyere omelet and said it was very good too. Also the coffee was nice and they leave you a carafe at the table. Overall quite good. The only reason this isnt a 5 star review was the noise. It was quite noisy and we had to raise our voices to have a conversation. Definitely recommend though.
So...my 1st time at First Watch. Random stop in between my day off errands. Busy busy busy inside but I was by myself so I sat at the bar. Durrett was my server. I asked for suggestions & ended up with the watermelon wake up which was absolutely delicious & refreshing. I order the elote breakfast hash...delicious. I enjoyed my food & service. The checkout & ill assume manager had some issues with the card Machine & I told them to keep trying but after 4 try they said just enjoy &come back & bring friends. Lol. I will definitely be back & you were so kind to allow me my meal for free due to issues(card machine). That was a great &unexpected & wonderful customer service. I will definitely be back.
First time visiting and just popped in to try something different. $75 for 2 people was more than I expected for breakfast, but the food was really good and fruit was sweet and fresh. Seemed busy but we were seated as soon as we arrived. Server was very nice, gave recommendations, and made sure we were good. Overall I would visit again.
It was my first time visiting but I loved it. The place is very clean, spacious and well designed. Out server was Brandy and she was super attentive to the needs of the table and very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. I actually had two breakfast meals for less than $30. It was delicious, hot, and fresh. The coffee was also really good. I will definitely be back and bring everyone I know.
Great food and incredible drinks!
Excellent food and service.
Very nice atmosphere! Although the restaurant seemed very busy, we were immediately seated and had food in less than 20 minutes!My daughter was enthralled with her chocolate chip pancake & my son said he had the best waffle ever!For my food, it was a little lackluster. For starters my omelet was way overcooked. & my mixed greens had next to nothing on them - they were very fresh & crisp but hard to eat without any oil or dressing!I would definitely recommend ordering sweets over savory here, I wish I had gone for the protein pancake!
Fabulous food, every time!Monterey ClubTurkey, bacon, avocado, organic mixed greens, tomato, Monterey Jack cheese, and mayo on artisan whole grain.Sweet Honey Pecan SaladOrganic mixed greens, romaine, all-natural chicken breast, bacon, toasted pecans, avocado, tomato, & carrots with Cheddar & Monterey Jack. Drizzled with warm honey Dijon dressing.
I was very pleased with the food and staff was great 😊 definitely will be coming back
Great breakfast/brunch spot. This was our go to when we wanted to have a communal breakfast.
The place is a great option for breakfast...but their quality is slipping from previous visits. We visited this past Sunday, our order included easy over eggs and million dollar bacon. The yokes of the eggs were hard and the bacon was cold... we didnt send back bc we were in a time crunch. This wont keep us from returning. But the place needs to slow down and focus on what makes them a great breakfast restaurant option, good quality food.
Wonderful experience! Anthony was our server and he was wonderful. Easy to talk to and knew the menu well. Eggs were cooked and flavored perfectly and the potatoes were delicious.
I can’t say enough about this place.It was our first time here and everything fromThe service to the food was absolutely amazing. This is our new spot for sure.
Make sure you made reservations online because walking you will wait more then 1hr .Food is good .
Food was great..service even better..Avocado toast off the chain and plentiful. Went hungry so didnt need a doggy bag..lol
Birthday Brunch. Enjoyed meal. Server was excellent. Kale drink not so much. I needed the ingredients. No Zinc shots available though.
The works omelets , potatoes and muti grain toast was really good
Service was excellent and food was delicious. Very busy on Sundays. Will go again.
Truly amazing food! Every meal I have ordered is fantastic. I couldnt recommend First Watch more to anyone, it really is the best food in town!
Bacon with maple sauce so amazing, must try
Excellent service with our waiter checking up on us frequently which is so appreciated. Thank you for making breakfast so enjoyable .
Welp, first time here and most definitely will be the last. We went here with our friends for a nice brunch. Kids had their meals first, that’s fine… Then half of the adults had their food — 15mins later one more plate came out… Then, 5mins later they sent out a plate — wrong order, so we didn’t take it… Now, more than 30mins later, all the other adults had most of their food and are almost done with their meals…. Mine is still MIA — it was a pretty simple order of Floridian French Toast with a side of bacon…. Currently still waiting for my order…. And finally it came missing part of it, after everyone was done eating. So I just asked for a box to go… Manager was nice enough to apologize — but that is not the point. 1 ticket = allthe food should come out together — not staggered in 15-20min intervals…
Very crowded Sunday AM. Very popular. Only used Take Out but order was ready at correct time and filled correctly. Usual excellent food!
First time coming and the food was amazing first of all! Second, the waiter, Anthony, had the best energy and was very polite talking and serving us! definitely looking forward to coming back! -If your seeing this Anthony, i’m the lightskin curly head with tints in his hair , and i was with my white mom, my two little sisters and her black friend with the red glasses who dropped the glass 😂. Ur a cool guy bro i hope i get you next time!
Absolute best breakfast, lunch, and everything in between spot! Food is always delicious and hot every time I come. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Even takeout is just as delicious as eating there! I can’t wait to come back!
I was informed that there was a 20 minute wait . Arrived waited 25 minutes outside in the heat just to come back in and we were told that there is a 40 minute to an hour wait. Never got to try the food but the customer service was horrible. I left after this encounter, doubt I will return.Update - Since the last visit we tried this place again. This place stays crowded and the food was pretty good. The staff is friendly as well.
Food portions were great and tasty! Food came out quickly and staff was friendly and checked to see if we needed anything. Will definitely visit again.
First time here was good except my potatoes were half burnt.
Amazing place. Food was delicious. Our waitress, Brandy, was great and very attentive.This was our first visit and we will be back.
Talk about great food, heres where it is!
Delicious food and great service!
Best place ever for pancakes. My favorite is the blueberry!
My server AJ was awesome!! I had the shrimp and grits and it was pretty good!
The food and the service is great
Had breakfast there with my daughter & food is excellent. Our server was efficient & friendly. Will be a repeat customer.
This place is consistently good. Mimosas are delicious. They fresh squeeze their juices. Service is always good. Food is always delicious.
It was an interesting place good value for the money really different kind of menu fresh and new kind of choices in things to eat
Yummy food, delish drinks, get up early to get in, place stays packed and for good reason!!
Absolutely love this place. Food was amazing. Little slow but they were hopping so thats forgivable.
The food was excellent and so was the service by Cierra.
Very delicious food. My wife didnt get everything she ordered (side items like avacado) but they were brought after she asked for them.
Food was great great customer service
Food is delicious with in-person dining. Highly recommend. It can get pretty busy but that just shows that it is worth it.
This is my second time going for brunch. The first time was just ok - this time my food was too salty and too greasy - the fruit I ordered on the side didn’t taste fresh and the service was poor. I really wanted to like this place , but I don’t think I’ll be back, unfortunately.
Good Food and a must visit. Not too memorable though. I think its service needs more warmth.
This was me and my family first time trying!! The food was great and the customer service was wonderful. Someone secretly paid for my daughters brunch!! Really made her day... we will be back again!!
A little price but good food and friendly staff. You get a pot of coffee for the table but still get charged $3/person. They make the staff wear masks which means you can barely hear them until they pull it down. Overall positive experience.
Great food, great service!!! Our server Anthony was helpful and knew the menu well. His suggestions were great and we enjoyed our food and his service as well!!!
EXCELLENT SERVICE from the hostess to GREAT WAITRESS, Amani ( Attentive, Knowledgable, Friendly), to cashier.Delicious Food-- huge blueberry/ pecan pancake, crisp bacon, and coffee.
Restaurant layout seems a bit poor as busy as this place stays but nonetheless food was consistent with other locations - Delicious and decently fast with good service!
Very busy on Sunday, get there early.
Great food. Service gets stretched thin a bit. Waitress was awesome, but Sunday morning was running her ragged.
Great place for a brunch
Very good food, and nice staff.
Best Customer Service EVER!!! Called early for a reservation, due to my elderly father. They do not take reservations, but we were told how to handle getting a table. Brittany went above and beyond taking such great care of us. Our server, Brandy was fabulous and we truly enjoyed our experience at First Watch! Thank you ladies for being FANTASTIC!!! We will be back!
This was my first time and it was were very delicious. I love the environment and the place was clean.
Great atmosphere and food...
The Food Is Great. The Customer Service Is Always Great. And The Place Overall Is Outstanding.
We eat at many different first watch locations and I have to say that it is always a pleasure to have breakfast here and their customer service is probably the best in town.
Service was amazing! Food was great! Will definitely be back. I wish I could remember our servers name because she truly was fantastic. We had the pork carnitas omelette and the shrimp and grits. Everything was perfect.
Great service and delicious food. During busy times, highly recommend you use the app to get in line.
First watch is decadent and lovely. Staff is great, the food is even better and the selections are GIANT. Its a MUST GO and Experience restaurant.
Very positive first experience. We went online and put our name and arrival time on the list; that worked out well. Alex was our server--very personable and attentive. I had the eggs benedict with salmon and it was tasty. (Wasnt impressed with the french toast at all.) I look forward to going back and trying one of the bowls which my daughter raved about. Pleasant atmosphere.
Nice and clean upscale restaurant. We had brunch with 7 people and really enjoyed both food and service.
We ate breakfast here while visiting Augusta for the day. I had the street corn hash and it was amazing. Everyone in my party enjoyed the food and our server was great. The prices are very reasonable.
Tasty wholesome menu. What more could you ask for? The Eggs Benedict BLT is deeelish!
Wonderful breakfast experience. Food and service are top notch.
Nice decor and vibe, breakfast was great with large portions.😎👍
It was my first time there and the food was amazing, I will be returning soon.
Food is filling and satisfying
7/17/20 Around 12-1.. Service was terrible waitress was acting strange towards us when taking our order, was avoiding us the whole time going to other table and check on everyone else even when trying to get her attention we know she heard us multiple times and ignored us. The food was terrible. Gave us dirty water cups. And gave us the check didn’t come back to ask us about to go boxes. Will be my last time coming to this establishment.
I ordered $45 worth of food. I got home and realized they left most of it out. They remade my order no problem. I tried to eat my truffle dish and it was awful. I wont be going back anytime soon.
This is a fancy clean restaurant. My husband loves the food! I like the clean glass, the water and the waffles.
Im will start off by saying that if your in a big vehicle good luck finding a spot when they are busy. The inside is nice and comfortable and the staff is polite. I was sat at the bar and normally thats a faster way to go if your by yourself. Nope not here I waited seemed like forever for service and so I just ended up getting a small meal and that took forever as well. But thanks to Stewart my food was taken care of so that was a plus. Ill have to try this place little later when they have been open for awhile longer because the food is amazing just not the service.
Erica, our server was so great. We are visiting family and just decided to stop in on one of our favorite breakfast chains. Prep of the food was different than how we normally receive our plates at other locations. Almost all items were overcooked...but it was ok. Coffee was fresh and piping hot.
I frequent this restaurant a lot with my fiancé, and usually have pretty decent experiences, but today was unacceptable. Our server was amazing and very attentive, but as I go to the register to check out, in uniform might I add, the girl at the register tells me my total. Before I can even ask about a military discount, which I shouldn’t have had to bc again I was in my uniform. She swipes my card. So, I say “I get military discount, do I not?” and she says “Yeah, but I already took your payment” without even looking up and proceeds to hand me my receipt. No apology, no anything. I finished signing and left. That was so rude and inconsiderate. It inconvenienced me as well because I planned on leaving a larger tip for my server.
We did a pick up order and everything was delicious! It was ready exactly when the order said it would be. This might be my new favorite breakfast place!
We’ve been wanting to come here since they’ve opened but they’ve always been so busy, so we decided to be intentional and go today. My recommendation that worked for us is plan, plan, plan. One of the biggest complaints is about the wait time, so we used the app and reserved a table before we left the house. The wait time it gave us was very accurate. And we only had to wait about 5 minutes once getting there. The second thing I learned from reviews is to expect hiccups. We were fully prepared for a few delays, so when my food was given accidentally to another table it wasn’t the end of the world. They apologized profusely and even offered to take it off the bill. When we got the bill it was still there, but honestly I didn’t care because the food was so great it was worth waiting and paying for. Now to the great stuff-the food! The food was so fresh and light! It’s all so farm fresh and natural! This is such a refreshing addition to the Augusta area, as there is so much more fattening fast food saturating the area. The menu has so much variety that I could come here for weeks and try something new. It’s also well balanced because although there are options, it’s not cluttered or overwhelming. I could sing this restaurants praises for days, but here are my take always:The food is top quality and in my honest opinion some of the best around here!The pricing is fair for the quality!You will most likely have a wait so do yourself a favor and reserve your spot online beforehand.The service does have kinks. Be prepared for mishaps, but don’t let it ruin your experience. No place is perfect and they will try to make it right!And to First Watch, way to go! Love the food, atmosphere and decor. I wish you all the best in growth and success. We can’t wait to come back again soon!
Solid franchise addition to the area. I especially appreciate the outdoor seatingTheres a lot to the menu. Ill be back again to explore the many breakfast options.
Im so glad yall made it to Augusta. It feels like one of those restaurants you eat at when your on vacation and you say to yourself I wish we had one near us. Now it feels like were on vacation all the time. Great food, staff, and atmosphere. Keep up the great work!
There needs to a better plan in place for the elderly who do not know how to use the reservation app and for out of town visitors!!! Apps are not the answer to better customer service. My parent and I waited 1.5 hours for a table on a Sunday!!. I had to ask for water for them and we had to wait outside in 88 degrees.. I had to ask the owner/male manager to talk to me because he would have just overlooked it. The visit was not pleasant this time around.
I am so glad First Watch is in Augusta, GA. Their quality of food is fresh and delicious. Service is top-notch with clean and country decor that reminds me of an original pancake house or broken egg pride in the quality of food and service. Is my new spot in Augusta for sure for breakfast and brunch. Great job!

2022-07-10I was put on to this place be my classmates and she loved it. I checked it out a bit after she left and I was shocked at how packed it was. I visited her by myself and Im glad I did. There was a two hour wait and I was fortunate to find a seat at the bar. The plate that I had came with thick wheat bread topped with peanut butter that was extremely dry. I dont think it matched well with the dish and thats why I only ate a bite of it. The main serving was really good. It was a good of pudding with fruit and some type of oats. I was shocked that it was filling. I also had the coffee that I though was basic but it didnt have a basic price. I wouldnt get the coffee next time but I would revisit this restaurant again. The service was great for how many people there at the time of my visit.

2022-04-05Definitely a place to eat for breakfast, the wait staff was very quick and very kind. When asked any questions about the food (my wife has a bunch of allergies) they were quick to go get a response from the cooks. I will definitely be back again.

2022-06-14Maybe the moon and all the planets were aligned because the day we went everything was on point! We werent bothered too often yet our host ensured we had plenty to drink and eat. The food speaks for itself, theres not much to say; its simply good! If you can, grab yourself a nice shaded outdoor seat!

2022-04-21Wasn’t the best experience I’ve had. It was busy and we did not mind waiting the 1.5 hours for a table but the hostess kept sighing and looked visibly upset when we walked in and reserved our spot. We finally get a table, waitress takes our order and we wait an additional 45-50min for our food (as we noticed those who came after us with more people to their party were served first- we had a party of only 2)Our soda was flat, silverware had some previous debris on it, our order was wrong but we did not see our waitress after she gave us our drinks (another person brought our food)I asked for our receipt and it was covered in sour cream and, what looked like, greaseWe most likely won’t be returning as the food was not worth the hassle or the amount they charge

2022-07-16What a great experience, we know this is a chain, but the food is outstanding and fresh. Theres so many options other than just typical eggs and bacon, although that is excellent also. All wait staff was friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend.

2022-04-10My first experience at first watch was a good one! The food was amazing and our server was nice. The wait, even with being on the wait list, was very long. Overall, i would recommend a visit here, but expect to wait a very long time.
