First Watch

My friend and I at outside for brunch. Enjoyed the shrimp and grits (I have a pork allergy, and they made it without the sausage). Very tasty. And love their kale tonic, always very refreshing.

Wonderful cafe that serves Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch only. Enjoy a varied healthy menu of egg and egg white dishes, whole grain pancake and waffle entrees as well as an assortment of creative salads, soups, and sandwiches. I enjoyed my Smoked Salmon Frittata with Veggies immensely. All dishes served with creative twist including Smoothies. Orange juice is freshly squeezed every day. Gluten free choices. Vegetarians will love this place. Friendly staff. Worth getting up early for these meals!

Great service, excellent food. It’s organic, real fruit, and clean eating. When you’re in Florida you gotta try out this place. The prices are comparable, if not cheaper than the other big breakfast chains. Their coffee is also bold and smooth. Friendly staff, clean place. Usually by 10 am it’s bustling and there is a wait if it’s a medium to large party.

Amazing every time. Great service and food is delicious. Lemon ricotta pancakes are a must if you love lemon.

The food was incredibly good and the service was wonderful!
I was able to see the staff in the kitchen, and only those who were intensely concentrating on their work were not smiling, everyone else was laughing and that told me a lot before the food even arrived. 11/10 must-visit. The lemon ricotta pancakes, elevated egg sandwich, and caramel crunch cold brew were phenomenal, though the cold brew was a little too sweet for my taste.

Had a great experience here. Service was awesome, as always, and the food was great. I had a sandwich and a cup of the tomato bisque soup. It was really tasty and I'll absolutely order it again.
While we were dining, an employee was clearing a table right next to us. A cup slipped from her hand and spilled on the table and floor. She scrambled to clean it up as quickly as possible, and a few other employees rallied with her to assist. Seeing how the group came together to take care of the situation was very refreshing. It truly felt like the staff was a team, which to me was a direct reflection of company culture.
I'm already a First Watch fan, but this visit helped me remember why.

First class service with a delicious rotating seasonal menu, and trademark staples. 😋 The seasonal Blackberry Lemon French toast was superb. Pair with signature craft drinks like Pomegranate Sunrise or Morning Meditation and Mmmm *chefs 💋 . Hands down, my favorite breakfast place!

Still the #1 place for breakfast. This time I had the Steak and Bacon Barretto. Enuf said. Jeff S North Port Florida

Great slot near many shopping options. Big portions, lots of variety, with good drink choices. Outside seating available also.

This is one of my favorite First Watch locations! Shantell was amazing, made the experience even better as well as my day. It was great to watch the other waitress interact with kids and the way they dealt with the overwhelming amount of customers. Consistency of the food is amazing for a place that is always rocking.Thank you!

I don’t understand how people are leaving 1 star reviews? This place is AMAZING!! Me and family & friends come here all the time and have never EVER had a bad experience. The service: AMAZING! The food: DELICIOUS! The overall experience: SPECTACULAR! Me and my family/friends have a tradition to come here for our birthdays every year. Thank you North Port First Watch for being amazing!! We appreciate your hard work!! I understand totally, coming from an experienced restaurant employee, how busy you can get and having multiple tables! Not everyone will be nice so just ignore those rude customers! I read some of the 1 star reviews and I bet most of those customers are just overreacting or over exaggerating their “bad experience”. People need to understand how busy y’all are and that not everything is perfect. But overall, you guys are AMAZING!!!! Have a fantastic day :)))))

Excellent as always. Great service and delicious food.

We went to First Watch this morning with our kids and it was delicious. The server was so nice too. I ordered eggs Benedict BLT and my husband ordered the breakfast quesadillas with the barbacoa meat. Our kids had pancakes. We will definitely be back.

This place served really good food. I had a bogo coupon I got for takeout. That way I could have breakfast for two days as well as a lunch and dinner. The Salmon Benedict was delicious and the salmon is really worth it. The gluten free toast is fine. Not the best but not the worst. The potatoes has nice seasoning. The cobb salad might have been more greens than I can handle but it's understandable.

Dropped in for lunch this time at this "new to us" location and once again enjoyed the Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl from the specials menu. Was sorry to hear that this is its last week of availability but am hopeful something just as tasty will replace it. The service was excellent and even our picky-eater 9-year-old grandchild cleaned his plate.

Delicious food, unique menu items, and fresher, healthier ingredients than most breakfast restaurants. We've always left happy!

Best breakfast spot we've had! The food was amazing and the staff were quick. Highly recommend the skillets.

Has a unique menu and creative options for healthy choices. Loved the food. The ap "wait in line" check in is easy to use and I never have a problem getting seated quickly when I use it. Love trying the different specialty drinks and family members love the million dollar bacon. I have hit or miss experiences with fruit sides at restaurants, but each time I go here its consistently fresh. Most times, I have really attentive service with friendly servers. This visit fell a little short as our server went missing in action, but the buser and waitress for the next table helped us and were pleasant. Also the one credit card machine was broken I guess, and there ended up a very long check out line. In addition both people ahead of me wanted gift cards as well and the machine left was having an issue. So the line went out the door behind me to cash out.

The food was phenomenal, tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. The plating was beautiful and the staff was amazing. I have never experienced anything quite like it. It definitely took me by surprise.

Breakfast was delicious!! Great coffee. Jennifer our server was friendly and welcoming
