First Watch

First Watch seems to be a local chain of sorts. We were just off the plane and headed south to Marco Island. We found First Watch on Unilocal and it seemed to have the right type of food we were looking for lunch. Light and healthy.
I had a Reuben and the pecan something salad. The Reuben was good. The salad had a sweet dressing that was a bit heavy for the amount of salad on the plate. I had to scrape it off a bit so I wouldn’t have some sugar overload.
My wife had an egg white omelet that she really liked along with a Kale juice. She really liked her meal, which means a lot since she’s more critical than I am of restaurants!
If you’re looking for breakfast or lunch in the area, First Watch seems like the place you can go to on a regular basis.

food was good, but our waitress forgot about us, twice. asked for an iced tea to go and she never came back. Disappointed in that, but the food is always good. nice to have a healthy alternative to Cracker Barrel

Food was not good. Eggs were not cooked correctly. Pancake was dry despite the fresh blueberries adding moisture. We had to request syrup twice, but the service was the best part of the meal. I think they’re too focused on upscaling basic dishes and end up not doing them well. We ate out for breakfast/​brunch 5 days, and this was the worst of the lot.

Delicious place to have breakfast. Great prices and quick service. We were a party of 12 and the wait wasn’t terribly long (they said 20 min but I think we got in quicker). Once we ordered our food it came out quickly. The food was very good. Highly recommend this place for brunch.

Great place about to drive back to Fort Lauderdale. Was great for a snack. Friendly staff, round tables, clean restrooms. Clean kitchen and organized. Would recommend reminded me of some places back home in texas.

My mother in law and her family go here every sat or sun. The staff is courteous knows pretty much everyone’s order and always welcomes us with smiles. They care about their customers. I always get the key west crêpe eggs. Never had an issue and if our party of 10 or more did they fixed it graciously and fast. Good prices and a menu with numerous options.

What can I say, good fresh food, excellent and friendly wait staff and good prices. The menu is also blessed with some creativity along with traditional favorites.

Very very good service was great and Its pet friendly and the food with 10 stars!!! Its like the TV show Cheers where everyone knows your name and they know what the costumers order

Great place food. Nice fast service. I liked that you could see in the kitchen and see how clean it is. You could also see the national products they use to prepare your food. The dining room is refreshing and clean. Moderately price. No deep fried food. Nice alternative.

GO TO SKILLETS!
Food is sub par– last time I was there I found a hair in my eggs it was disgusting.
Now on to the service–
If I could give this place 0 stars I would. They are very unprofessional and not very accommodating at all. NOT good for parties over 4 people. They told us it would just be a «couple» minutes that they were cleaning off tables for us now to put them together. They then continued to seat parties of two in those tables that came after us. We told the manager and he shrugged us off and did not care.
VERY unprofessional. MCDONALDS has better customer service than this and I NEVER would eat mcdonalds.

The food is great! Nice environment. Usually their service is excellent! However I went there today and it wasn’t the best. I walked I and of course it’s a Sunday, so I asked if there was a waiting list. The gentleman responded: of course there is! With a mocking face.
I said: oh…
He says: of course why do you think all these people are here.
Me: I see them, I figured I just thought I would be polite and ask. Thank you.
Not the best response. I walked out and left.
Otherwise the service in the past has been great!

If you want to feel good about yourself and what you put in your stomach, go to First Watch. That’s what we do. We get excited when they have any formation of a quinoa bowl on special, and that’s what they have now for the Tastes of the Fall limited menu. There is a whole bunch of hearty goodness all packed into one bowl — quinoa with roasted butternut squash, dried cranberries, white meat chicken and herbed goat cheese, topped w/​pecans and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. (Don’t think that I memorized all that. I pulled it off the picture I took of their blackboard… heh.)
This dish has inspired us to do a healthy alternative to Thanksgiving with quinoa!
Their menu is also comprised of some lovely skillet dishes, egg white options, waffles and pancakes. Their wheatgerm and pumpkin pancakes are YUM. For lunch they have great options for sandwiches, soups and salads.
With all that said, they stay on top of water and coffee, by bringing a whole pitcher of water and a coffee canister. This makes it easier for people on the run. The service has been pretty decent and you can see them pumping out the turnaround like clockwork. And it’s amazing how happy one can feel when they know they can get their coffee when they need to.
This venue’s physical exposure is not the most clear, if you don’t know what First Watch is. Their logo looks a little deceiving to me, and maybe it reminds me of something in the healthcare industry. However, it’s not close to the street either. When they have their weekend’s farmer’s market, I’m sure they do a great job of obtaining business.
Kudos to First Watch for making my belly happy with healthy stuff.

Love the variety of dishes offered. Interesting and very tasty. Love the fresh fruit garnish on many items. The carrot cake pancakes taste just like the cake! Our group is stuck on the chickichangas! Can’t get enough of them. Arrive early on Sunday’s or there will be a wait.

This place is nothing fancy. It’s like a Denny’s but with better quality food. The service was fast and friendly and the place was clean– even the restroom. It has an open kitchen. Prices are very reasonable and there are many healthy options on the menu. My Parma bowl was delicious. My wife had the eggs Benedict florentine. She liked it a lot. Was light, fresh and flavorful.

Great weekend breakfast joint. Decent décor with plenty of seating. Service is always fast and efficient. Lots of great healthy choices on the menu as well as all the usual the gut-​busters. Great for groups.

Every time I am in Naples, this will always be my breakfast joint… Great menu options with a very healthy selection… The service is really good and the staff is very friendly. The wait is never really long and the food comes out a very timely manner. It is hard to choose which menu item I like the best because I continue to order different things when I go there and am always pleasantly surprised by how good it is.

Consistent breakfast food. Favorite First Watch location in the area. You know what you’re going to get! Cost can add up with the addition of sides, juice and coffee.

I’ve been to the other location on the north side of town and came here for breakfast since it was near the Comcast office.
There is a trick to beating the line by getting there before it opened. I always think of this place as a usually healthy breakfast place. Service here was above average. I got quick service with a smile. No complaints from me.
Blueberry pancakes yes, yes, yes.

My favorite spot for breakfast! Truly amazing food. The pancakes are great, eggs are good too. And great coffee! Cute and casual place. I love it and go every time I am in Naples.

This location is always slammin’ busy, and for good reason. Weekend breakfast is one of their busiest times.
The menu is nicely done with fresh choices for both lunch and breakfast. 8 or 9 omelet choices, skillets done your way, huge club sammy’s with avocado and fresh tomato bisque and much much more. They do the food right each time. It’s made to order, served quickly and hot.
Coffee was superb, they give you a pot for your table, too. No waiting for your refills.
Man, I’m getting hungry again.
