First Watch

Spent 3 days in the area, and I only regret not visiting this place more than I did (twice). A simple locale with such great food and service. The menu selection was vast and varied, and the food is fresh and tasty. I had the BLT eggs bennie one day, and the next day I had the half soup, half sandwich combo- all SO GOOD.

The impeccable service and tasty 🥞 breakfast 🍳 🥓 were hands down the most welcoming elements of the place. The attention to detail was well worth the wait for an available table.

My wife and I are recently moved from the UK to Florida. First Watch quickly became a Sunday morning breakfast ritual: one we really look forward to. This is the best place I've ever experienced for breakfast and a classic place for any non U.S. people to get a flavour of the U.S. The Service levels are equal to the amazing food. It's popular, so book your place in line to avoid disappointment. First Watch is First Class.

This place is so busy at weekend, beautiful food with a big variety of breakfast options. Good coffee, nice and welcoming staff. The atmosphere could be better or more spacious cause the tables were so close to each other.

My husband and I normally come to first watch and the food is always good but what compelled me to write this review was our server Emma she was the best server I have ever had the pleasure of encountering, she was hilarious to say the least and fast and knowledgeable about all the drinks and food. Did I mention she was hilarious great sense of humor, I think she should go into comedy. When we were leaving I told her how amazing she was and she mentioned she use to be a stay at home mom.

So Emma thank you for making my morning today amazing!

First watch you are lucky to have her!

First Watch has really kind and helpful staff, great food as well.

I like the atmosphere. Shout out to Fabiana and Savanah very friendly servers. The food is great quality.

This place is so cute. For a chain, I love how fresh everything stays. The juices are so good and the food so fresh and tasty and The service was great and the place was super tidy and clean.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at First Watch Sawgrass, and I must say, the service was exceptional. This is our most favorite breakfast and lunch spot because of the people, quality and service. Laurie, our hostess, set the perfect tone with her friendliness and sense of urgency. Christine ensured our drinks were always filled and was remarkably polite and accommodating to my family of four. The manager, Gavin, even took the time to offer a friendly hello. Overall, a fantastic experience with a top-notch team!

The food was excellent and the server was great. We ordered the tropical sunrise but it wasn't to our taste and she replaced the drinks. She made my son feel very special on his birthday.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience.

Good hearty portioned food that was well prepared, presented and most importantly delicious.

Service was great, everyone was friendly and accommodating.

Only downside is that they are ALWAYS busy and even when you have a reservation, you have to check in physically or else the reservation does little to nothing.

Wonderful! The food is delish. The staff is super nice. The ambiance is pleasant. There's usually a wait on weekends so I suggest you list yourself online. You will still need to check in upon arrival and wait roughly 10-15 mins. Vs walk up 45mins+

Wow! I’m not bragging but this team of people was Beyond Amazing! We had a group of 14 last minute after my sons Soccer game. ( he’s 4 ) they were able to accommodate such an enormous party at the last minute. The wait time was expected 45 minutes but literally took 25 minutes! The food was amazing and the host at the front ( forgot her name ) was amazing ! Our waiter KAT handle the table like a southern bell! Thank you so much for making us feel like home. I love it here ! Sunrise staff you guys DID THAT!!!!!❤❤❤❤

Although, we were bumped due to them not being able to text my wife cellular phone..., everything else went smoothly. We were seated immediately and service was excellent. I mean great waitress, excellent food and hospitality unbelievable. Checking out was as easy with scanning the bar code on your receipt and pay with a percentage for tips.

Sawgrass Plaza, Ft. Lauderdale, FL. This is one of the best restaurants in the First Watch franchise because of the consistency of good servers and quality food it has. It’s easier to park here (unless it’s a Saturday or Sunday) than at other locations. It’s also a larger restaurant with lots of windows. I love that our server spoke both English and Spanish very well, something you’ll notice about South Florida.

My husband had morning meetings here a lot and if you get here at 7:00 am you can sit in the coveted booths on the right wall. They bring you a whole pot of coffee and a great selection of creamers. Today they even had pumpkin spice creamer.

First Watch is known for its huge pancakes, omelettes, unique juice beverages, and sandwiches.

Today we had the French toast, fresh fruit bowl (no cheap apples or canned pineapple there), and grits.

Everything was good. The grits were yellow, salted and peppery. I asked for no butter and they came as ordered. The fruit bowls here are always artfully arranged (see photo).

first time here with my husband. loved it food was great our waitress emma was awesome too! so sweet and even gave me extra jelly because she saw i was pregnant and in love with it!! lol we will definitely be back 😁

I go to this location often and everytime I'm greeted with smiles and amazing services. Every server I've had so far has been attentive, knowledgeable and very kind. My last server was Jackie and she's was a doll, such great energy and even recommended drinks and food that we ended up really enjoying. I will definitely be back soon. 🥰

The food is delicious. We had an excellent visit with great service. We will visit again on our next trip.

From start to finish, our server Victoria went above and beyond to make sure me and my family had an amazing experience. Her attention to detail, prompt communication, and genuine care for their customers truly set them apart. I highly recommend Victoria’s services to anyone looking for top-notch quality and outstanding customer support! Amazing food highly recommend

Great food and amazing workers. Just overall good vibes and good atmosphere. Normally crowded on holidays and weekends but it’s always worth the wait. The menu has everything you could want regarding breakfast/brunch. I definitely will return because I can’t get enough of their food!
