First Watch

This is food, real food at its best and most wholesome. Omelettes are great, filling too. Dog friendly if you sit in the «porch». Service is awesome, from beginning to end. Iced coffee puts mc Donald’s and Dunkin Donuts to shame!

I hadn’t been in to the new location since they moved, until now.
It was very busy, but the wait time was quoted as only 15 – 20 minutes, and they were true to their word. (Slightly faster, actually.)
The décor was awesome. Rustic-​industrial with a side of farmhouse. Very cool.
Even though they were slammed, we were never ignored. The food arrived quicker than expected, and was so tasty that I didn’t want to stop eating, even though I was beyond capacity. I can vouch that the Parma hash is outstanding, and the strawberry cheesecake stuffed French toast is equally amazing.
Just when I started to wonder if the waitress was being overwhelmed and that we’d be ignored, she’d show up with a fresh beverage and check on us.
Food was great. Ambiance was great. Service was great.

I have been to first watch before in Naples, but this was my first visit to the new location. The ambiance is casual and has a modern urban feel like you would find in Seattle. My girlfriend and I both had the half sandwich and salad combo. We had the veggie grill sandwich, which they have plenty of options for vegetarians !! For salad we had the Santa Fe which was great and had a little spice to it! It was hands down amazing! I will make this a regular spot and highly recommend to everyone!

Excellent restaurant!!! Great coffee. Had the fresh OJ with the breakfast chimichanga burrito. My wife had the pancakes which were great. Atmosphere and service were outstanding!!! Don’t give out 5 stars easily but what we had was awesome and their other menu items look great so we can’t wait to come back!!!

We’ve been to three different First Watch locations. Same good quality at all three. If you want something tasty and different go to First Watch. One problem — they are ALWAYS busy. Others have mentioned the décor — I don’t think it is great but I do not care, I go for the food and it is delicious. I cannot really speak about the breakfast — never get there that early but the lunches are wonderful.

25 minute wait to get in, slow service, and cold food. The guy working the door is was a grump too. I think the new location is having growing pains. Nice interior and I don’t mind waiting for good food but all four breakfasts in our party were cold.

I always order to go from here in the morning because I work across the street at coconut point mall. The food is always so good and fresh, and the people are so accommodating and polite! The atmosphere is great! And I love love love their Key West Crepeggs!

Great food. Great service. Well worth any amount of wait time. Had florentine eggs benedict. Subbed mushrooms for avocado. Happily made sub. Offered to go drinks. Will be a regular.

By the sign on the place, I would of never known this was a breakfast spot but thanks to Unilocal we found it.
The wait was long but the text messaging system they have in place is pretty great as I got to sit in my car with my family of 7 instead of waiting inside the crowded restaurant. We waited about 20 minutes and got to go over the menu in the car on our phones. By the time we received our text we were ready to order.
The carrot beat juice on the menu sounded too good to pass up, but when bought over to the table it was about about ¼ juice ¾ ice, when I mentioned the issue I had to Katie she quickly shrugged her shoulders, said «yea… we don’t do refills», and walked away.
We all ordered our food, everyone decided on the trifecta but I was wanting something a little more hearty so I ordered the eggs Benedict. The Avocado on my meal was brown and the eggs were more like hard boiled.
Service was bad and I think it put a damper on the whole meal. I don’t think I’ll be back anytime soon, might have to try a different location.

This is a great spot for breakfast or lunch! Fresh and yummy food and the service is friendly and prompt!

Ohh First Watch, why do you have to be so delicious?
Design:
Let me just say that this First Watch location is a beauty on the eyes. Varying tones of wood are used in conjunction with a very modern features, such as light fixtures and tables. As expected, this location is well maintained and immaculate, which is something I definitely look for when I eat out.
Let me start with the service:
This establishment is always busy and with good reason, but with proper preparations you can dodge the long wait. By using the NoWait app on your smartphone you can virtually «get in line» and when you check into the restaurant you will be seated according to where you were in line. This shaved off a good 20 minutes, which is good when you are craving some delicious grub.
The host and hostesses are always friendly and sometimes even funny. I’m never sure if they remember who I am (I would like to think so :)), but they treat me as if I were coming into their own home for breakfast, which I absolutely find fantastic.
Now for the food!
This establishment strives on very quality ingredients, including cage-​free eggs, and fresh and sustainable produce and meats. Everything I have had here is always delicious, but I will begin with the pancakes. What makes they pancakes different is the addition of wheat to make them a tad healthier. I have indulged in three different flavors: Chocolate chip (of course), Blueberry, and and Carrot Cake. Each were light biting into a flavorful cloud of deliciousness. Do note that the pancakes are huge and one often satisfies my hunger.
Next is probably my favorite thing on their menu, the Chickichanga (trust me, order it!) It contains whipped cage-​free eggs with spicy all-​natural white-​meat chicken, chorizo sausage, green chilies, cheddar and monterey jack, onions and avocado rolled in a flour tortilla. The whole thing is then topped with what they call Vera Cruz sauce, which tastes kinda like a tomato bisque. This is also served with delicious fish fruit. If your thinking that this is a smothered and mushy enchilada of sorts, don’t! This is a fresh and delicious alternative and is done exceptionally well.
Anything you oder at this establishment will always be delicious, from traditional breakfasts, to sourdough french toast topped with fresh fruit. The quality is always consistent and will get you absolutely hooked. Enjoy the deliciousness that is First Watch.

Great option for breakfast or lunch if you are in the Estero area. I think better for breakfast than lunch, but they do have good sandwich options.
Recently redecorated with a bit of a rustic feel which is completely out of place in SW Florida. I like it though. Gives my folks a bit of the NE down south.
None of their dishes are over the top big like so many places in the area. They use fresh ingredients and you can’t go wrong with their omelettes. They also have fresh juices and daily specials.

Love the atmosphere. I always enjoy the breakfast and had lunch there for the first time today. Half Reuben and Pecan Dijon Salad was delicious.

Above all, great service. Food was great and the menu was different & diverse. Love the décor! — very warm & inviting. Even though it was very busy the staff had a system to turn tables around quickly. My wife had the Eggs Benedict and I had the Key West Crepeggs with a side order of Pumpkin Pancakes. Reasonable prices and big portions. Wish there was one back in Miami.

First timer and I will definitely come more often. The place was pretty busy when we arrived and we were called pretty fast for our table.
I ordered the bacado omelette and it was amazing! I will be back for the same thing in a day or two.
Fresh healthy food served hot and fast. The drinks were great as well, believe we had a carrot, oj and ginger drunk that was delicious.

Had the breakfast tacos and the pineapple cooler juice and everything was DELICIOUS! Great, fast service and food.

My wife and I came here for breakfast on our anniversary, after finding it on Unilocal.We loved the atmosphere and feel of the restaurant, and the service was exceptional!
Everything on the menu sounded great. I got the Trifecta breakfast and my wife got the Chickichanga. Some of the best bacon I’ve ever had (crispy and maple flavored!) and hands down the BEST waffle I’ve ever eaten. Slightly crispy on the outside, and warm and chewy on the inside.
The coffee was also excellent, which was a pleasant surprise. It’s not Waffle House prices, but you certainly get what you pay for, and more! Our meals were $ 8-​$ 9 each, which is a great deal for the quality of food and service we received.
We will definitely be coming here again next time we’re in town!

Service is quick and friendly and the atmosphere is modern with a retro/​vintage feel – much nicer décor then older First Watch locations.
Food is really good and I like the way coffee and water is left at the table for quick refills.
I did leave the restaurant thinking it was a little more pricey than expected – with a $ 30 check for breakfast for two.
I’d definitely go back but reconsider adding sides and fruit juices which really add up on the check!

If pancakes for lunch are wrong, I don’t want to be right! Looking for some late morning grub, and this chain fit the bill.
My wife wanted breakfast and was happy with the blueberry pancakes which were served with scrambled eggs and thick cut bacon. She started it, but I got the job done, so I got to taste it, and corroborate her story. I was more in it for the lunch menu and had their «two for you» combo. The grilled veggie sandwich was great and I asked for it on sourdough. My other choice was the chicken pecan Dijon salad. I enjoyed it but the dressing was applied a bit too liberally, and not for those squeamish about the pungency of mustard.
Price was in line with food quality and quantity, but they lost a star due to an overly long wait to get our food.
Good food, nice atmosphere… if there weren’t so many others to try we would surely stop back!

One of our favorite places to eat when we have time. There is almost always a wait but today we were seated immediately. Food is fresh and great. I recommend trying the new kale tonic, so good. Also they have a new app called No wait, you can put your name in before you get there so the wait isn’t so long :)
