Every single time I go to a First Watch, and i've tried in several states, its always so sub par. It's not bad, but always the worst breakfast ive had out at any restaurant. I just don't understand how it's such a popular place. The server was great, the potatoes were trash.

Excellent choice for brunch and for a great walk by the lakes! The American pancake was Sooooo good! And that bacon strips with some syrup on top.... Mhhhhh... Yummy!!! Definitely not good for my diet, but once per year is not that bad ;)!

Came in for breakfast with our big ol' suitcases and the host was quick to offer that we place our bags behind the host stand, out of the way. Very kind people, quick service, and really good food. I had their biscuits and gravy after having not-so-great ones on my cruise and it was like "ahhh thank God" 🤣.

Randy did a great job assisting us for breakfast. We had carrot cake pancakes and a delicious the works meat lovers style omelet with potatoes and whole grain toast. The juices and coffee were also very good. The watermelon refresher was something special. The atmosphere was very inviting and the decor was very open.

The service & staff are very kind and helpful. The food/portions and execution.. a little disappointing. I ordered the avocado toast, but was surprised at how small the food portion was in comparison to my friends plate (my dish cost ~$13.69, hers was roughly the same) I gave it a shot regardless and was immediately disappointed when the bread was cold and untoasted. This dish is called “avocado *toast*”? Additionally, the avocado smash was very browned and mushy, it was a stark contrast to the new/fresh cut avocados I saw on my friends dish. Very disappointed in what I ordered, would ask the restaurant to consider toasting and possibly improving the plating of the food. Revising the review bc the server dropped the check 10 mins after we received our food (not even halfway through our meal) felt rushed and not properly served. My friend is still *eating* her food, and kept passing by asking to take her plate.. while she was still clearly eating and had the plate in front of her. Made the dining experience even more unpleasant. First time here, may not come back.
