First Watch

My wife and l went to breakfast wth two other couples. We were seated promptly. I ordered the breakfast tacos. Our table was served two at a time over a period of about five minutes. My tacos arrived without explanation much later than the others. Some were done eating before l received my plate. The tacos were cold and extremely soggy. The black beans were tasteless and also cold.
There is nothing simple on the menu such bacon, eggs and toast. Most everything on the menu is north of $ 8.50. With so many other choices in the vicinity I will not go back. Poor food, poor service, and high prices.

This is the best breakfast restaurant anywhere. Blueberry pancakes are wonderful and the coffee is excellent.

Another wonderful healthy breakfast. Eggs with great multigrain bread, greens with in house lemon dressing, ripe fruit, only slight dissatisfaction with incredibly small serving of avocado which was an upgrade cost. Husband had the Trifecta with eggs, bacon, the decadent luscious pecan pancake and 100% maple syrup. Still has the most options prepared to order whether you eat «clean» or could care less. Had a brioche cheesecake filled French toast as one tempting choice today. New items routinely on the menu.

Wow where do I start. Super friendly service, we had a issue with the creamers on the table. Problem was rectified immediately. I ordered the chikichanga, which came with chicken, chorizo, onions, avocado, and salsa verde sauce. It was out of this world, the home fries were seasoned extremely well, and cooked with a little crust. Delicious. Will come again.

We expected to be WOW’ed, but the experience fell short. Several menu items really had me enticed, and I greatly enjoyed the Bacon & Cheddar pancakes, unfortunately, nothing else was memorable. We waited almost an hour to eat to start with. And it really wasnt busy. The front house coordinator, seemed excessively lost and came across as very simple. Our server was attentive and in a hurry to get our order, she was actually put aback by us asking for a few minutes to look over the menu.
When we were served our food, our server was absent, one of my biggest pet peeve. Wifes food was, ok. Mine not so much. The pancakes was delish, but everything else was cold, not warm, but cold to the touch even. After finishing my pancake and nibbling on the cold meal, the server resurfaced. She was bubbly and asked, IS EVERYTHING AWESOME???, I reply, … awesomely cold…
She did get me a hot meal, which was OK… again, did not even attempt to wow.
After driving a distance for some good food, and a great dining experience, I feel like we got lost and settled for the McDonalds drive-​thru…
I doubt we will spend the money or energy to try them again, any time soon.

Firstwatch is an innovative concept serving up breakfast foods with solid health benefits. The French toast was excellent and was perfectly cooked. Accompanying the toast were a medley of fresh fruit, including a generous offering of kiwi, bananas, etc. The server was solid and engaging. The coffee, however, could be slightly improved. Firstwatch is highly recommended!

Just nice, fresh, good tasting food. Wish they were open for dinner. Will definitely be a frequent guest here.

Was «OK». Eggs runny, bacon not done.
Service was fine, or not real sweet. Waffle was OK!

Disappointed in the breakfast this morning. Three of us had the Blueberry pancakes. Ordered two with a side of sausage. The pancakes were extremely dry. Extra butter and syrup couldn’t put moisture in the pancakes. How ever the service and the server was excellent.

Great breakfast selections from the usual breakfast fare and lots of healthy options as well.
The place is bright and cheerful.

Always good, always fresh and always healthy. Great service and friendly.
Located in a shopping mall so you may have to look for the place but well worth the search. Great for breakfast or lunch.

We have been coming once a week for over a year. During the past month’s visits, we’ve noticed a decrease in service and food quality. I’m really hoping it is just a growing phase with new staff. Today, our server was very inattentive and my son and I got our good a full 10 minutes before my husband received his (on Father’s Day). The new breakfast tacos came with cold corn tortillas which made the whole taco cold. I’m not giving up yet because I love this place. Please get it together :(

This is one of the best places to eat in the villages and Ocala. We go there as often as possible. Everything they make is fresh to order, so be patient. So worth the wait. If you haven’t been, you need to go.

I had the breakfast special sandwich that was nothing short of delicious. My husband’s granola bowl was filled with yummy fruit and they even brought by extra granola and milk for him. Our server, Lindsey, was delightful and attentive. We will be back.

Wow what a variety of food for breakfast and lunch! After perusing the menu for some time I settled for a «Parm Hash» which came in a shallow bowl with small amount of roasted tomatoes and cut up crimini mushrooms covered by home fries (cubed potatoes) and cheese and topped with two eggs. It was fantastic! The service was excellent and really friendly. The restaurant was larger than it looks from the outside and tastefully decorated in contemporary colors and furnishings. Very clean.
We will return very often I’m sure!

Great place food not greasy. Had the Greek fetishes it was great. Wife had the breakfast scramble it was great. 5 stars all the way. Like eating in fine restaurant
.

Excellent fresh tasty food for lunch. We are planning to come back for breakfast too soon. We had grilled turkey sandwich and Santa Fe salad. Also had a roast beef sandwich. All very tasty. Our server Tonya was simply terrific. Place is very cheery and very clean.

On vacation from Miami beach! And I must say we checked this place out because of Unilocal reviews and they were spot on!
I felt like gourmet dining with the plates coming out fast & no grease on the plate. Was full but not gross feeling I felt light and clean
Tanya was our server and she recommended the summer dishes that were ending on Monday
The BLT Bendict was out of this world
The brûlée banana waffles soooo delicious
We are coming back tomorrow and wish there was one of these in Miami
Thank you for the amazing food fantastic service and a breakfast to remember

First time here and I enjoyed my breakfast very much. I had the Eggs Benedict and the portion was just right for one person. It’s served with diced potatoes and a side of fresh fruit. The eggs were perfectly poached and the ham portion was very generous. Service was spot on, I was in and out in about 40 minutes. This location is on US 441 next to Publix and The Villages Regional Medical Center.

Second time to a First Watch, first time here. I tried one of the specials — Smoked Salmon & Roasted Vegetable Frittata. Pretty darn good!
Everything on the menu looked really good. Great place for breakfast or lunch.
Always a good atmosphere and pretty good service.
We’ll be back again.
