For my first time at First Watch ever, I decided to play it safe and try the Traditional, which (with some customization on my end) came with nicely scrambled eggs, two savory sausages, two pieces of buttered toast, a small bowl of jam, and a side of seasoned salad. Honestly can't say much other than I enjoyed every bite and finished with a clean plate. Whether the food was that good or I was very hungry that morning (or both), I had a pleasant experience and left feeling ready to start to the day. Overall, a great first impression from my first First Watch. Definitely recommend if you want a nice, hearty breakfast!

I ate there twice and both times everything was good. Have to say don’t get trapped into agreeing for coffee because it’s extra. I was unaware and said yes to coffee the first time. Drink your coffee at home.

Great location/access and roomier than other First Watch we have visited. My first choice (of franchise stores) for breakfast. Nutritious menu options consistently prepared. Diane provided efficient and friendly service. Perhaps best of all: "real" flatware, not pressed!

I love first watch. I’m a fan of eggs, Benedict and their hollandaise sauce with a hint of lemon always delivers. There’s so many other great things on the menu. And everything delivered with great service and smiles.

Tried the summer menu today. I had the Toasted carnitas Breakfast and the Bacon Cheddar Cornbread. Both were very good. Love the view here as it sites on the side of a lake. Lovely!

It's a standard First Watch. Prices are high for a chain, but food quality is good enough to justify it. Was very busy but didn't have to wait too long for am outdoor table.

If you're looking for a great spot for breakfast or lunch in south Sarasota, look no further than First Watch. This restaurant has local roots and many other locations, and it's easy to see why it's such a popular choice among locals and visitors alike.
One of the things I love about this particular location is the beautiful back patio, which offers plenty of shade and a lovely view of a large lake. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a meal in the great outdoors, and it's especially nice on a sunny day.
But it's not just the setting that makes First Watch so great - the food is also absolutely delicious. Everything on the menu is tasty, but I save room for the Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk, which is a delicious dessert drink that you must try. Quick and attentive service, so you'll never have to wait long for your meal to arrive.
Another great thing about First Watch is the ample parking available outside, so you never have to worry about finding a spot for your car. All in all, I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast or a light and refreshing lunch, First Watch is the perfect spot to satisfy your cravings. So head on over to this great establishment today - you won't be disappointed!

We had a wonderful time here today for lunch. Loved the menu selections, something for every appetite. The gluten free bread is a quality brand and goes well with a sandwich. The portion sizes are just right for the pricing. We were seated right away and had great service from multiple team members throughout our lunch. The manager Jay, comes right up to your table and says hi, which I love, a nice personal touch which makes you feel welcomed and not rushed. This place is busy! I loved seeing how much fun the staff was having while giving great service. Next time we will sit outside on the water side, it looks beautiful. Definitely a great spot to meet up with friends and family! P.s. the mimosas are fantastic!
