First Watch

This was hands down the best breakfast experience we've had in a while. My husband and I had the elevated egg sandwich, the prosciutto french toast. Both were perfectly balanced in taste and texture. We also tried the million dollar bacon and holy donuts. FANTASTIC! They were very kid friendly. Our 9 and 6 yo loved the waffles and pancakes. Our waitress Anaiya, was attentive and there when we needed something. Her awesome attitude was the best way to greet someone early in the morning. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Just the best food, service and atmosphere!

Went there for the first time to have breakfast after having to wait over 5 minutes to be seated the first worker wanted to argue when we tried to share the order that we arrived in putting a bad taste in our mouth... Ashley our server turned our frown upside down with her beautiful smile that she greated us with and her phenomenal customer service. The food was great. Goo's Ambience and Good Vibes.

Everything would had been perfect if my food didn’t come out cold, I didn’t complain because it was still great. Seemed like it had been sitting in the window for at least five minutes. Other then that great place!!!

This is my first time and last time at first watch. Meat was burnt and hard. The grits have no flavor no matter how much salt or pepper to add. everything just tastes blend. I guess I’ll stick to IHOP.

Always a good place cor brunch. Drinks are amazing! I enjoy the seasonal items, as well. We had the Hacienda Hash and the Tri Fecta. Very yummy.

Good place for breakfast

Great service, clean and calm atmosphere. Food cooked fresh and very delicious. Love the different creative ideas. Bar for adults. Reasonable prices

First Watch (any location) is always a reliable breakfast spot! Our server was sweet and really attentive to our party of three while we were there. The Morning Meditation Fresh Juice is SOO good. Next time, I think I'll try the Purple Haze just because it's pretty :) I got the Farmhouse Hash because I love a crispy potato with breakfast! The serving size isn't skimpy, this meal will fill you up. First Watch isn't a fancy place, but it's dependable and good food at a great price!

After checking out their menu online I give them a call to place the order but I'm redirected to order off the app or online. Sadly my attempts are thwarted as I can't find the one item I wanted: Eggs Benedict. The downloadable menu and a guests posted picture of the menu both show Eggs Benedict in the egg-sclusive section but it was not on the Tucker or the Decatur location menus. So I call the store and wait, and wait, and wait for someone to pick up the phone. Right when I'm about to admit defeat, someone picks up the phone. I mention that I need to order by phone as the eggs Benedict is not on the app (that I really didn't feel like downloading but...). He finds this interesting and says that it's odd. Now maybe I'm old school but I expected the My Apologies Let's get that order started! Or well luckily I'm here and ready and able to take your order. Instead I get a mumbled, hold on here's someone who can help you. At this point I'm sort of greeted by a perkier young lady who asks me if I can hear her now? I'm confused as the young man simply handed her the phone as the background noise never changed and there was less than a second of lag time. Regardless, she's got the perky good will I had been missing and she immediately takes my order; Eggs Benny medium, not wobbly or too runny and an order of French toast. I run over as I'm told it will be done in 10-15. I am greeted warmly and given my order. Honestly, I should have stayed to check out the food but hindsight is 20/20. The food: the French toast is dry in the middle, barely swiped with the custard (egg/milk/sugar or condensed milk), and the Eggs are swimming in the bottom of the container, and that's not the worst part; some of the egg whites were still translucent... I gave t one for the perky hostess. I could have given them two as the interior was clean and looked nice, but those translucent egg whites will stay with me all day. If you go, stick to pancakes or waffles and scrambled egg dishes.

I had heard of First Watch when I was in Miami. My mom and her friends frequent it for gatherings and she always raves about it, so I had it on my radar to try it out when I realized they were a chain and there were a few locations near my area. My son and I were pretty famished after a grueling sunrise hike nearby, so when I saw that there was a First Watch just around the corner, I decided it was time to give it a try. I ordered a caramel iced coffee and the BLT style eggs benedict, though I asked them to hold the arugula. My son ordered the breakfast tacos. The iced coffee was too sweet for my liking. It was an overload of sugar, but I guess I should have expected that from the description. My eggs benedict were okay. One of the eggs had broken when they served it to me and they did offer to make me a new egg, but I declined because I was going to break it anyway so I didn't see the point and I didn't really mind as it had no bearing on the taste. However, i did not take a picture of it since it did not look very pretty with the eggy mess. My son devoured his breakfast tacos and seemed to really enjoy them, but he generally loves all food, especially when someone else is footing the bill, so no surprise there that he was thrilled. LOL. The breakfast potatoes were decent too with good flavor. Service was excellent! I think it was the best part of our experience as the server was very attentive and had a great attitude. Despite this, however, the food was just okay for me. Both my son and I agreed that our usual breakfast go-to of IHOP would have been better, so for that reason alone, I don't think our experience warrants more than 3 stars. I can see why my mom and others love it, but it just isn't for me.

Food was subpar, very salty omelet and way too much butter in grits. Sent the grits back and asked for no butter, but still loaded with butter and very salty. I've had better food at the other First Watch locations. Bread was best part of meal! Service was also not good, server Kip had a bad attitude, wasn't friendly, and never came back to the table after dropping off food.

The food and service at this location are always consistent. When I frequent a place I do not expect perfection every time but they come fairly close. My favorite item here is really odd, it's the eggs!! They are so delicious here. I have never been to a place and said the eggs were good lol. My go to is usually the biscuits and gravy or the breakfast tacos -- both succulent and excellent. Unfortunately I do not have pictures of either of those items this go around (I wasn't hungry the last time we went), however, just ordering the toast with their preserves was equally satisfying. Those preserves are the jam (a little old woman humor haha). It always seems clean and I like the decor. If you are in the Tucker area you should give this place a shot.

Excellent food with quality service. Especially love the Eggs Benedict and million dollar bacon, which lives up to it's name. Top it all off with my own pot of delicious coffee and it makes for a very special meal.

* Food was delicious, hot, and appealing to look at! * Service was pretty decent for a Sunday rush especially since we popped in less than an hour before close. The staff was friendly! * This location is not as big as some of the others but parking was adequate and seating was spaced out nicely. I'll be returning for sure!!

Updated review, from 1 to 4 stars. My experience was a lot better this time. The wait times are still long, but, you can manage that by getting in line, thru their app. We did this for Mother's Day, and we arrived on time to check in, and was seated in 15 minutes. The service and hospitality is much better, and it starts at the door. A person was outside, taking down names, and managing the turnover. It was great to see that the management has taken real steps to handle the flow of the customers. Finally, no more standing around and being ignored. This guy upfront, will take down your name and get you in line for a table. So much better. The host and the servers are also happier. Its real busy, but there are visibly more people working, and I think it goes a long way to ensuring good service and attentiveness to customer. Our server was GREAT. I did not get her name, but she was cheerful, always smiling, helpful, warm, and welcoming. I was concerned that we would get an overworked, and unhappy worker, but she was anything but. She had a smile on the entire time. Glad to see happy employees. The food, was good. I had THE WORKS omelet, and it was huge. The tri-fecta with waffles, and eggs was kinda meh. Felt like that needed some fresh berries or fruit or yogurt in there. It was a boring plate. The Hacienda Hash was also very good. Bloody Mary, and Bacon was OK. The drink was too peppery. Great to see that changes were made at this restaurant, and I wish them well. I will be returning, and I hope to get that same server again. She did a great job.

My last experience wasn't GREAT but I'm big on service. So that gives this the rating it did. We were sat by the hostess who was GREAT but once sat, we weren't greeted by any server for about 15 minutes. I told the hostess and it still took another 10 minutes for a server to come over and ask "No one greeted you?" And proceeded to have an attitude and/or an annoyance the entire time. It's too early in the morning for you to be this frustrated but we gave them some grace but the attitude never changed. The restaurant wasn't full, it wasn't loud or anything but it also wasn't busy either, there were plenty of servers there I just couldn't see or understand the disconnect. We ordered our food and that wound up taking a while to get fully, everything was being brought out in pieces which frustrated us even more. So we just ate what we had, asked for the check and bounced. I usually never have issues at this location. I'll give it another shot in the future but my dine-in experience may not occur again.

I've been a fan of First Watch! However, the stars reflect the customer service at this location. My meal was tasty as I went with the farmhouse potato hash skillet and the fresh pomegranate pear punch . The atmosphere is open and airy with lots of seating both indoor and outdoor. Additionally, free parking is also available.

Signed up for virtual waitlist. Arrived at 11:30, seated at 11:45. Drink orders were quick, but then the server went MIA for 1/2 an hour before one of the party went and found her and asked her to take our order. Even then, the waitress walked off before we could ask for drink refills. After another 30 minutes, one of our party found the waitress again to ask about our food and drink refills. She was incredibly rude and said, "You can see we're backed up. Your food will be ready in 10-15 minutes." She still didn't come to our table. When the food finally arrived, only 5 of the 7 orders came and STILL no drink refills. 15 minutes later the 6th order arrived, but was incorrect and we were able to get drink refills. Finally, the 7th person just cancelled her order and we all shared our food with her. When the checks came, the patron who cancelled her order was charged almost $5 for her cup of coffee and the rest of us were given $2 off of our orders. Ridiculous service!

I have been coming to this location since it opened. The food is usually good as is the service. At times there are issues with one or the other and they are usually few and far between. Today, we put our names on the wait list only to arrive 10 minutes later, only to be told that they were to busy to take any more reservations, and couldn't seat us at this time. Not to mention that they no customer service skills employee didn't seem to be concerned at all. Very disappointed. When you have you mind set on something to eat and you can't have it, you meal is pretty much ruined as the second choice doesn't hit the spot. Thank First Watch for the negative experience.

Great hospitality! The food came out fast and I enjoyed the breakfast omelette I had from here. They also have really good fresh juices.

everything cooked great over easy eggs for benedict great flavor coffee cheese grits loaded with cheese very filling

I come here often because it's a hop and skip away from me and the food is consistent and SO GOOD! The wait especially on the weekend can get quite long, so be sure to use their waitlist option on the website! Service is always great. Though they are hustling back and forth to the kitchen most of the time, the servers still make time to chat and be cordial and that's a huge plus. Get the banana crunch pancake. Just get it. :) The new lavender lemonade (vodka) is really good! I am normally not a fan of batched cocktails, but this one hit the spot.

ABSOLUTELY AM DISSATISFIED WITH THIS LOCATION! My husband and I came here for breakfast on Friday morning. We walked in and were sat immediately because they were NOT busy. Waited a few minutes for our server to come and we ordered our drinks. Took our server almost 10 minutes to bring us a coffee and a water. Instead of taking our order he said he would be right back but didn't come back for another 10 minutes. He kept going to his other tables but never came to ours. After finally placing our order, a nice lady dropped off our food. My food was missing the cheese and my husband food was missing the sauce it was supposed to come with. We waited a few minutes to see if our server would come back so we can ask but he NEVER returned so we just ate the food as is because we were tired of waiting. Our server never came back to our table even after we were done eating. He literally walked past our table without stopping and my husband had to call out to him to bring us our check. HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! I have never felt so unwanted and ignored as a customer. The food wasn't the greatest because it wasn't made the way we wanted, but the only thing that tasted great was the gingerbread donuts. NEVER COMING BACK! Update: The manager spoke with me and was very nice and understanding and offered me a solution to the issues we have. Greatly appreciated!

The service I received at First Watch in Tucker, GA, was excellent. Our meal was great, greasy, and quick. The waitress was attentive and provided excellent service.

The worst . Not pet friendly . Lazy staff . I was here with my puppy and they tried their level best to make things impossible. Refused to let me order from The patio and insisted I do a take out order . I had to walk in like 4 times . Food came and it was bad and missing the jam . Don't come here if you plan to sit on the patio !

First, I really enjoy FW and have eaten at numerous restaurants throughout the country. Their service is always great with a friendly staff and pretty quick with orders. Second, this particular FW SUCKS! The food was atrocious. My breakfast was cold and my scrambled eggs were like ice cubes and just as hard. The toast was cold as were the potatoes. The bacon was warm but that was it. They only had one waitress who was sweet and doing all she could. The manager was nowhere to be seen and apparently not interested in helping unless he / she was in the kitchen, who knows. I will not visit this FW again I can assure you. Thanks.

I got the Hash and was looking forward to trying it out. This is my first time trying First Watch so I'm not sure what had happened but my food was really salty I couldn't finish it.

We came here for brunch on a Friday. I ordered the avocado toast and my sister ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. The toast was good. Oddly, the avocado were very cold and I'm used to room temperature avocados. I ordered a side of turkey sausage. The food was very good. Those pancakes were lovely! So lemony and delicious but a tad over cooked on the bottom (i.e. burnt). The coffee was good but service was very spotty. That explains the star reduction as it wasn't a highlight. Cute interior and this place was bustling for 11 am on a Friday.

It wasn't my first time at First Watch, but the folks in Tucker, Ga treated our crew of soccer crazies well this morning. We were in a large group and used the "call ahead" feature on the website. The team was able to set aside enough space (and even a little extra) for our 10+ family group on roughly 30m notice. We were able to let our players have a little off-the-field fun, enjoy a healthy breakfast/brunch, and most importantly- get out of the HOT HOT sunshine of HotLanta. Thank you Team First Watch for taking great care of us!

I've been to First Watch five previous times, each time the food was spot-on. But I never had the Benedict. Now I wish I never had. I ordered the "Classic", their take on, obviously, a classic eggs Benedict. First, the ham was shaved deli meat. Ummm... neither classic nor all that good. That's what your Swedish grandmother who can't cook to save her life makes because "it's tasty." But it's not. They also thrown tomato in there and I love tomatoes so cool. The hollandaise was underwhelming at best. It was not velvety as it should be, most likely due to the preponderance of lemon, which interacted with the yolk to make it more gloopy than velvety (you want velvety hollandaise? Go to Cherokee Rose in Stone Mtn). The egg was... appalling. It was a minute away from being hard boiled - very little moisture left. A Benny should never have an egg cooked like that unless specifically ordered that way. Needless to say, mine was not specifically ordered that way. All of this dreck sat on "toasted ciabatta." You guessed it / wasn't toasted. It was put on the griddle sliced side down, only one side getting any butter. So what it really was, was a warmed up ciabatta either one side slightly browned. Lesson learned: never order the Benny. Also, if you're sitting at the bar, don't bother ordering sides. I've sat there three times and the kitchen's hitting about a 25% success rate of actually delivering them. Sit at a table, order something simple, something that doesn't require finesse or aptitude and you'll be good.

This is for sure one of my top brunch places in Atlanta. The biggest challenge is deciding what to order, because I literally want everything on the menu. Do not miss out on the million dollar bacon! To top it all off, their fresh juice cocktails are so fresh and delicious, you actually feel healthier after the first sip, which is crazy. Love it all. The wait can be long, but definitely worth it. Perfect place for a simple breakfast. You have to try the pumpkin pancakes...Yummy! Only avaliable during the fall Months. First time at this particular location, but It won't be my last.

Our go to spot for all things brunch!! I absolutely love this place next to Stone Mountain park. The servers are absolutely amazing. Shelby is the best!! I love atmosphere of southern country esthetics.

This location like others is always busy. When the weather permits they have plenty of outdoor seating and their bar top opens for outside seating as well. The food is typically good, but here's why I rate them 3 stars. You can never order online. On their site their down, they don't appear on DoorDash, Ubereats, or Postmates, either. If asked about this and they say that they do. But they don't. Not sure if they are intentionally not taking orders but it is an annoyance.

It was great!! The prices are pretty good and the service is great. I took my daughter here for the birthday brunch and she love it. I would recommend this place to all my friends. A new favorite !!

Went here after church and the food was good. Of course there was a wait given the time and church crowd, but we "got in line" thru the mobile app. Note: you have to check in with the hostess despite being in line on the app. We ended up sitting at the bar and good thing we did bc despite the 30-45min wait the app quoted, it was much longer and our names were called until we were halfway done out food. As for quality, everything was good and we'd definitely go back. Good company really makes a difference when you're waiting!

The service here is the worse ever! I did call ahead seating and never got seated...lol. after 30 minutes, we grabbed a seat at the bar and waited another 45 minutes to get our meal. The server was very friendly however, she was overwhelmed by the full bar and surrounding tables she had to wait on. I noticed that everyone had to ask for essentials like napkins, water, and straws. All of this I attribute to poor management.

Food was delicious as always ugh I'm so full (too good) I tried something new from the Spring menu (Hacienda Breakfast) it was soooo good. The Service provided by Julia was literally 5 stars my family and I were extremely happy and impressed especially because we were at the same location the day before and service wasn't even half as good. But, Julia was awesome and made up for the not so great experience we had the day before. She was on top of everything and had multiple tables. Always had a smile on her face, she was always very professional and most importantly very patient as we were a party of 6 and we had everything we needed no need to try and get any other employees attention to request anything at all. As for the ambiance's it was great, freezing outside but when you walked in the hostess smiled and welcomed us in and it was nice and cozy. Restaurant was smelling really good too. Before we took off my sister, mother and I all used the ladies room and it was fully stocked, nice and clean. Once again thank you Julie !! You're a rock star much appreciation and respect from a family in South, Florida

I Love First Watch. Today was my first time at the Tucker location.. I got a Skillet to Go... when I got home I was really disappointed. I paid over $14 and I got literally 1 puece of bacon broken in half and there was no way this was 2 eggs. Just because someone isn't signing in doesn't mean you don't put the same effort in the preparation of the food. I asked the young lady was there utensils and napkins in the bag, she replied yes..nothing in the bag. I just need this location to do a little better when it comes to their to go service.

Atmosphere is amazing! When you step in, you'll feel a sense of antique belonging and I absolutely love it. I can see myself definitely staying here and drinking a cup of coffee to pass time while I work! Though, I know this isn't that type of establishment which is a shame because I would love something like this here in Georgia. Service was phenomenal and my server went above and beyond to be bright, friendly and over achieving to our requests! Greeted with a smile and knew how to read the mood to joke and be serious when needed. Food was satisfactory. With that being said, I will say I am completely biased with this review food wise. I ordered the blt eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was very lackluster. It was so subtle that I didn't taste it at all. The bacon and avocado was delicious and the bread instead of your normal English muffin was great but the sauce, for me, is the hit or miss. The sauce wasn't bad! It just didn't stand out and I love me a good hollandaise sauce. I know the salad is plain but I would appreciate a subtle vinaigrette dressing (note this doesn't make for a bad review). The fruit bowl ordered was also fresh and delicious, can't complain. Coffee was brewed fresh and with quality beans. All in all, will definitely return when I can order drinks! Want to try their million dollar Bloody Mary and Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink.

First Watch restaurants have pretty consistent food quality across all locations. The Tucker location is no exception. Wait times to be seated are normally long (30mins +) but that is due to everyone loving their food. Service after being seated is what makes each location differ. At this location it is on the slow side. We come knowing this and typically enjoy a slow paced relaxing brunch...today was much slower than normal, though - we were quoted 30-35min for our table and ended up waiting 50mins. Once sat, we waited another 8 mins before our server took our drink/food orders (we were ready to go when they came). Then 8 mins to get our drinks and another 27 mins for the food to arrive. Today's order consisted of the seasonal juice - Watermelon Wake-Up (watermelon, lime, pineapple, mint); Bloody Mary; Bacado omelette; Avocado Toast; and Seasoned Potato (well done - I love the crispy bits when they are made "right"). Everything tasted delicious! Worth the wait??? Not sure if normal people would wait 1.5hrs before eating, but what can we say - we enjoy the food so we suffer through.

Decided to give first watch a try because at this location I always see the parking lot crowd . I came here Saturday around noon and waited 45 mins to be seated and then 30 to 40 minutes for the food to be ready . Which was sort of kinda not a bad thing because even though it said restaurant closes at 2:30 it looks like they still gave everybody a chance to be seated and serve pretty nice thing to do/ all but anywho the food was pretty good i give it a over all 6/10 for the food and restaurant over all i definitely recommend to try it out .

Took advantage of their free birthday entree! Sign up and you get a buy one get one offer. The food was delicious. I ordered the Market Potatoes. The potatoes were super seasoned and crispy. I forgot to ask for the cheese to be removed but I worked with it. I would definitely get it again. The morning meditation was really good. I love beet juice. The service was great as well. Our server was friendly, patient and very helpful. The place is new so that's a plus. It's open and airy, which I loved. I can't wait to go back when it's warmer. They have a lovely patio area.

The food was okay but, the wait is what dragged. I Wouldn't wait no more than 30 mins.

Looks like this is a new location! It was busy, but they have a bar area that is first come , first served. We were able to sit at the bar quickly and received quick service. Our food even came out before our drinks, which were really good. I wonder if they'll get mimosas soon, I know other locations have alcohol served. The food was super fresh and filling.

The service was good, and the food was delicious. They have ample seating, and the restaurant atmosphere was inviting. It was our first time eating there, but it definitely won't be the last!

You will more than likely have wait to be seated, but I thought the food was excellent. Everything came out hot, taste great, so over all I enjoyed it. I went back again to try more. The food was still great, but the service does lack. It may be from a shortage of workers however. It's not like they have bad attitudes, but they are doing a million things.

Have more people in the kitchen. There are a lot of available seating but can't seat due to kitchen backup. You have the option to get on a waitlist which means nothing! I have watched over 12 people leave. That's a lot of money going out of the door. I'm sure I won't get a response from this review.

Good food and good service! Wait is usually fairly long on a weekend, but always worth the wait. There's also a first come first serve bar for seating that's indoor/outdoor as another option.

Not for large parties. "Get in line" on the app is BS! We "got in line" at 11:30am and were told 25-30 minutes. We arrived in 25 minutes and checked in. We were told at check in that the wait would be "20-30 minutes" . I clarified, "20-30 MORE minutes?" Yes. So here we are, 40 minutes later, waiting. We were told 15 minutes ago that we are waiting for one table to clear out. Then. Apparently waiting for one table to leave became untenable as the line started up again and they decided we needed to wait for another party of similar size to leave and started giving away the tables we had been waiting for. The hostess explained to us that they don't often have large parties (9). Sorry, we gave you a 30 minute warning we were coming and the get in line allowed to "13 +". Having been seated separately, we finally were handed menus and able to start our orders. Everyone enjoyed their food, I ordered the Eggs Benedict and found the barely toasted ciabatta not very pleasing, but I got the seasoned potatoes on the side, so I slid the perfectly cooked egg, fresh tomato and generous ham off of the bread and ate each bite with the potatoes. I waited for the actual food to give my rating. Based on overall food and service once seated. I am very very annoyed that we chose First Watch based on the app and ability to not stand in the rain waiting. However dozens and dozens of patrons were seated quickly and our group experience certainly doesn't seem the norm. But it does hurt a little bit to give a 4.

Visiting from Sacramento and had First Watch for the second time. Very Good. Lemon ricotta pancakes!!!

Thank goodness for the community table. The food is so delicious that, everyone wants it at the same time of day so it's always busy.

Food here is always good. Service is always wanting - the staff just seem to be rushed and overwhelmed. Regardless, I will return.

Although wait time is pretty long, the customer service is amazing. The food is also delicious. I got the traditional breakfast with french toast and let me tell you it was tasty! The atmosphere here is one that can't be topped in my opinion. The sound of plates and silverware clinking together along with the conversation of other people really come together nicely. I really enjoyed coming here!

I need a table for four yes today great place to come and enjoy a great cup of coffee

The food was very fresh. I had the waffle, maple bacon and fried potatoes. The fried potatoes, bacon were delicious. Next time I'll have the bacon without the maple. The waffle was fresh but basic. Get the fruit with it. Floors were very sticky .

Excellent experience at First Watch in Tucker. Our server Bundrage was fantastic! She checked on us several times during our meal. Our food, frittata for me and farmhouse hash for my husband came out hot and was great. We will definitely be back.
