First Watch

Ordered the biscuits and gravy and received something that looked like a hamburger bun with dinner gravy on top of it. Needless to say it is clear Firstwatch needs to research what «biscuits and gravy» truly entails. Sent my plate back and got the power wrap knowing that it’s simple ingredients could not be up for interpretation. I also ordered the Nutella French toast which was made on a ciabatta bun… Once again I was let down by a dry soggy piece of bread with fruit sprinkled atop and an insufficient amount of Nutella. Wouldn’t recommend eating here if you have any standard of breakfast foods — would honestly rather eat at ihop or Denny’s

Uh… yummmm!
I noticed this location was here a few weeks ago and had no idea it opened! I was immediately excited because I’ve always been a fan of First Watch.
I finally visited this week and immediately upon walking in I was greeted by two friendly staff members. I originally stopped in to get breakfast for lunch, but then I saw their actual lunch menu and I was like uhm yasssss! *drooling* — it all sounded so good!
I settled on the turkey burger with potatoes (instead of greens haha) and OMG it was deeelish! The flavors were great and I loved that it was so juicy! Often they’re dry and lackluster, but I don’t eat red meat so I’ll take what I can get when I’m craving a burger. Even someone at work asked me the next day where I had gotten it because it looked that good.
The service was great (although my order was for to-​go), the place was clean and fresh! Great vibe/​décor. Me likeeey! I’ll definitely be back!

We went on our lunch hour at 11:30 on 6÷07÷16− to beat the rush. Food was good but the service was horrible. Took our order and came out. No one came back to see if everything OK or to refill our drinks we had to ask the busboy. It took forever to get our checks, she left them on the wrong table, then to actually cash out. All in all our 1 hour lunch turned into 1.25 hours. The place wasn’t all that busy either. We won’t be going back for lunch. We also ordered a take out at the end of our meal and that took about ½ hour.

I am so happy there is a first watch closer to my house. I love there pecan salad. The service is fast, courteous and drinks stay filled. The food tastes good if I eat in or take it to go.

Yum Yum for our Tum.
This place was awesome. Chopped salad for lunch? YES! Fresh, Zesty and an Amazing dressing. All our meals were perfect.
Thank you First Watch for coming to our neighborhood :)

Service was mediocre with absent minded server, clumsy lady that brought our food to the table, and just an overall feel that it was not a smooth running operation.
Food was actually good.
Glad to see they served chilaquiles! Although nowhere near as good as those offered at authentic Mexican places… It was a good attempt.
What’s with the First Watch name? I felt that we were driving up to an urgent care center or some kind of a security alarm store. I think I liked the cheerful bright atmosphere better when these were Good Egg restaurants. Not the darker, pretentious, artificially hip Scottsdale environment that this one exudes.

I’ve come to this location twice and sat down for a significant time, without receiving any service at all. I typically go to the other location on frank loyd wright, where I always get amazing service. I hope with all the servers they had at this location, they could make time for everyone they sit down. I would hate to think I wasn’t served for other reasons.

We ate at this location for the first time on New Years Day when it was still the Good Egg. It was so good so we came back the following weekend to find that it was now First Watch. Initially disappointed we stayed for breakfast and have returned many times since! I love everything about this place — friendly staff, cute décor and EGG-​cellent food! :) We’ve even taken out of town guests and they enjoyed it just as much. My go-​to is the veggie market skillet (to die for!) but I had a waffle this morning and it was delicious! We’ve tried other FW locations but this is my favorite :) Highly recommend!

I think I hit this place on an off day. The food was so-​so as was the service.
I ordered one pancake and a side of potatoes. The pancake was dense and the potatoes were barely warm. I wasn’t able to finish the pancake nor my potatoes. My daughter opted for an early lunch and she had the sandwich and a salad. She pawned the salad off on me, but it was completely sopped with dressing (oil) that I couldn’t eat that either.
I left to visit the ladies room and when I returned, the server had left the bill on the table with my children. WTH?

I just found this place and will surely be coming back! I had the Benedict florentine and it was just how I like it. Interesting twist putting it on a ciabatta instead of English muffin. Was delicious! Highly recommend!

Excellent food, great service, beautiful environment. Had the inspired Italian omelette and it was very tasty… Not so sure that OJ is actually 100% fresh squeezed but tasted good nonetheless. Reasonable prices.

Incredibly fresh food. The bread and strawberry jam are to die for. Highly recommend the Hash… potatoes & eggs cooked to perfection! Friendly service and a Cool vibe.

Food was amazing. I had the chickenchanga with a kale tonic. So delicious. Many healthy options for those looking to eat this way. Loved every thing about First Watch.

I had the trifecta it was delicious… I added a banana granola crunch pancake mmmm good! Try the day glow for an energizing drink. Treat yourself to the chicken salad melt, you will not be disappointed.

So I’m going to preface this with the fact that I am one of the PICKIEST eaters in the entire world! But First Watch blew me away!!! My server Carmen was just plain amazing, she made some awesome recommendations. I got The Works Omelete, which is a carnivore’s dream, packed full with sausage, bacon and ham!!! Not wimpy little pieces of meat but big delicious pieces of choice meat! Not just left over bacon from the day before and thrown in to cut on waste, fresh and crispy and obviously made for my meal!
As I said before, I’m picky. I don’t like a lot veggies in my Omelete so I got the mushrooms, no tomatoes, and light onion. Most places when you say light anything it’s either completely gone or they just «say» it’s light. This was perfection! It was enough onion to flavor it but not ruining the rest of the Omelete. Oh and did I mention that it PACKED with cheese as well!!! Sooooooo good! Like it blew my mind to the point that I actually ate every bite!
Now when they first brought it out I was confused because there was a side salad on my plate– and oh yeah have I forgot to tell you– I don’t like rabbit food. But since the Omelete was so dang good I thought I’d at least try the salad. Boom they did it again, freakin awesome! I never would’ve even thought to put a salad with an Omelete, much less think it would delicious together!!! The dressing was super good, the lettuce was crisp and fresh and didn’t taste like drive thru salads when you’re forcing yourself to eat healthy. I actually WANTED to finish my salad because it was good, not out of guilt for feasting on a huge cheesy Omelete.
And oh my goodness the toast!!! If I could live off the bread alone I would. It is thick, chocked full of grains and oats, and topped with an ample supply of butter.
Carmen also talked me in to getting something from their fresh juice bar. KALE TONIC IS TO DIE FOR!!! It was so refreshing! It DID NOT taste like it was fully of veggies, I absolutely loved it and ordered a large one to go before I left.
All in all it was the best breakfast experience I have had in a long time. I sat and drank coffee and read my book and chatted w the servers that would come to check on me. It was relaxing and fun! I also left feeling full and energized, not bogged down and groggy from feasting on a bunch of processed foods. I loved it all and it was the best way I’ve spent my morning all week! The staff was extremely nice, super helpful and you will definitely find me go there more often. Go go go you will not regret it!!!

Phew! No line on a Saturday morning?! Is this breakfast heaven? OK, so maybe the big golf event thing down the road snatched up all the people? It was empty (at 11 a.m. On a Saturday!) Fine by me, since I DGAF about sports and I do GAF about breakfast foods.
The S.O. and I moved up here in August from Tucson. We were excited to see Good Egg because we have them in Tucson and we were fans. We were able to visit a couple times as Good Egg, now we came in to try as First Watch. Unless it was a money thing, I don’t really see the need for a new name/​menu. We liked GE, and the food.
The menu is similar, a few new changes and the prices are similar. One of the new additions are fresh juices like kale ginger and pear. I tried kale once, I don’t want it in my juice.
The service has been consistently good. Our server was very nice and attentive. I like that they offer flavored coffee creamer at the table. Also, the coffee is great and they leave the carafe at your table so you don’t have to wait for a top off.
I ordered biscuits and sausage gravy. Tasty and large portions (served with 2 eggs and taters). The gravy was a bit more like a creamy meat sauce. Think of the consistency of marinara meat sauce. Its mostly meat, in a sauce. The gravy was mostly meat, in a creamy pan gravy. No complaints, at all, but I was expecting a creamy gravy peppered with turkey sausage. Delicious, just different than what was in my head. Ended up taking half home for leftovers!
The trusty S.O. got some kind of eggs, pancake and bacon. He cleaned his plate before I was done eating, which is rare for him! So it must have been great, for I heard nary a peep from him til he was done. Good job babe.
So, with the new name and menu came a few changes. Nothing too drastic and the prices are just about the same. They still have great service and big smiles. The coffee is still excellent (I always ask for a to-​go cup, for the road). I’m glad the changes didn’t kill the chill vibes. Great job, FW.

I love this place! They have another location that I went to every so often but it was a little out of my way. Now they’ve opened a new location and it’s close to my work. These restaurants should sell stock, because I’d buy a lot of it. Their menu is healthy, fresh and delicious — perfect for today’s day and age. As far as what I like, their power wrap and the avocado toast are two of my favorites. If you live near the airpark, you need to try this place!

What a disappointment. The Good Egg and their sister restaurant The Eggery were always great places to go. This location was recently rebranded as a First Watch. I’ve never been overly impressed with them but the new décor is nice. The service and execution are sub standard. The food wasn’t great. My wife’s oatmeal was clearly from a packet and my eggs were nothing to write home about. Our three kids each got kids meals. They used to bring a water pitcher out when you were seated. I didn’t even pay attention until my daughter asked if she could have some water after our food arrived. We flagged down our server and she got us some water. It felt a little bit strange that we had to ask but ok. Finish up out blah meal and my wife notices on the menu that the kids meals come with a drink. My wife flags down the server and asks about it. Her response «you get a drink if you ask for it.» Really. You don’t offer a drink? Response. «Nope.» The server then says well what do they want? Breakfast is over and I don’t think I should have to argue about getting what’s included in a meal. Get up to pay and the manager takes the check and my wife questions her. Same response. I handed her my credit card but I told her that I wasn’t comfortable paying for drinks we didn’t get. She says that she has no clue how to even take that off the bill. Great I’ll pay for it but that’s the last penny First Watch will ever get out of me. In all fairness my wife followed up with the regional manager and she offered us a free meal but we aren’t interested in going back. One interesting note is that the First Watch philosophy is not to ask too many questions. They might want want to amend that so their customers can understand what is included in a meal.

Went there for breakfast this a.m. because all the other breakfast places had lines. We used to like the menu when First Watch started in business. We were less than impressed as the company has grown. Sliced ham on the Eggs Benedict vs Canadian bacon was a change that we didn’t like… more salty than Canadian Bacon. The Coffee was not great coffee. Of all places to have good coffee should be at a breakfast place! And last of all, service was mediocre. Server was busy flitting all around but not near our table so that we could remind him of the coffee order we placed 10 minutes prior! Chances are, we won’t rush back.
Change is good when it’s positive!

This was my second visit after the name change. Breakfast was perfectly prepared and promptly served. I had an off menu order… A couple scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. My iced tea was kept full as expected. I’m so glad I have a place for breakfast everyday! I can’t wait to try something else :-)
