With all the crazy good reviews I had to check this place out. The experience was good overall but I think I had higher expectations. I will say the fresh juice I got was absolutely delicious. I also got Parma skillet hash and it was pretty good. I think I was expecting more of a wow from it. The friends I was with had the breakfast tacos and the farmhouse skillet has. They enjoyed their meals. There were quiet a few things on the menu that looked good and I think I would try something else next time. I would recommend this place to someone who hasn’t been here and hope to try it again one day.
The food was amazing! Atmosphere lovely, and great customer service! Food was fresh and served to us in a good time. Our server suggested the chicken pesto hash on the special menu. I ordered it and it was really good, and a nice portion. The only reason I rated 4/5 stars is because the dish was very salty. It was a little over powering. If you’re not a person who likes super salty food or are on a low/no sodium diet, make sure you tell them to hold the added salt.
First Watch has delicious breakfast food! I wasn’t really a breakfast food person until I started coming here. The food is great and it’s located in a convenient location downtown. Walking distance from Curtis Hixon. A great place for Saturday morning! There’s usually a 10-15 minute wait when I go, but not bad at all and worth it for great food:) the BLT Benedict was definitely my favorite. I love that their greens and produce always taste so fresh! Dressing on salad was also delicious. 10/10
Open kitchen concept, and a modern style of service meant that servers were interchangable. Which I would say they handled very well, this place has a nice vibe. But the food, the food was incredible. Delicious and fresh and very well prepared. It didn't taste like I could just make the same at home, all the ingredients were unique and delicious which is important when you're going out to eat breakfast I feel. It would be a shame to not try this place if you're in Tampa.
Our first time and we loved it! Actually ended up eating at another location the very next day. Consistency was there and happy and helpful staff!
Tasty and quick.
I walked in 30min before the kitchen closed so I promised I would be quick. Staff welcomed me to stay as long as I wanted. I never felt pressured to finished up. Server was attentive and friendly. Food was great and filling. I did not stay past kitchen closing.
This place was phenomenal! The service, cleanliness, and food were all top-notch! The prices may have been a bit on the higher side, but as with anything else, you get what you pay for! Will definitely return to this location!
We were in town for a company function and got up early and walked down from our hotel near the River Walk. We were seated right away and brought a whole carafe of good coffee. I ordered a blueberry pancake with scrambled eggs and bacon. My husband got eggs Benedict with ham and side salad. He ordered a side whole grain pancake also. The food took a while to arrive but we realized it was definitely worth the wait. The eggs Benedict he said were the best he ever had . My pancakes had a good amount of fresh juicy blueberries. Bacon cooked perfectly. Some have said it was $$$ expensive but I found it in line with most of the large breakfast chains we have been to in the past around ($40) included tip .
I’ve eaten at several First Watches & have never had a bad experience at any of them. Food is super consistent in taste & texture & everyone I’ve been to was super clean & had a great staff. We’ll always come back 😎✌🏼
There are many things to pick on the menu. I ordered Smoked Salmon Benedict which was super delicious. (Unfortunately, I didn’t take the picture of the dish) The elevated egg sandwich was very tasty. We ended up with the Caramel Crunch Cinnamon Roll that is a bomb!! :)
