Reviews for First Watch in Orlando, FL
Went there for what we hoped would be a quick breakfast when we were in town for a convention. They were very understaffed which... oddly seems to be the case for most of the places in Orlando. The host seemed frustrated and wasn't friendly even when it wasn'tthat busy when we first arrived. We were the first ones to sit down from our group it and the last to finally order afterwaiting for over 40 minutes. There were at least four other tables who were able to put in their orders before us who hadarrived much later than us. There seemed to be only one or two servers. Our server was friendly. The food was delicious butdefinitely not filling. I was assured by our server that it was a big portion for the super food bowl, but it was just a smallbowl and I was already hungry soon after we left. Read more
I?m conflicted. If you like fresh, high quality ingredients at a very reasonable price, this place can?t be beat. That?s... probably why it is packed to the gills. However, my complaints are numerous. -There was a chip in my mother?s orange juiceglass that very easily could have cut her lip. -There were no artificial sweetener options but Stevia, which I find tastesabsolutely horrible to me. -My wife ordered a fruit bowl that came out as 90% grapes. No real variety of fruit. No pineapple.No cantaloupe. -My mom ordered her eggs over-medium and was served eggs that were obviously overcooked at even the slightestglance. I?ve included a picture of them. -I didn?t much care for my hash skillet. The individual components of it were tasty,but they did not cohere into anything special. They seemed wasted on a dish that didn?t allow any of them to reach their fullvibrancy. Where was the love? The waiter was attentive and seemed likable, even as we complained. The bread was reallydelicious. And as I stated earlier, all of the ingredients seem excellent. But are they being treated excellently? My answer:no. Read more
I'm definitely giving this place a solid 5 starts. This was my first time at First Watch and it did not disappoint! Their... concept is very similar to Keke's and it is just as good. This specific location is in Dr. Phillips @Plaza Venezia, it it was agood 20 minute drive for me. The staff was GREAT. Our server was very attentive and customer driven, always checking on us everyfew minutes. I had the Shrimp and Grits and it was fantastic. Perfect ration of savory sausage and delicious grilled shrimp overcheese grits...I will definitely have this again (soon), since its only a seasonal menu item. My Son had the chorizo sunrisesandwich and said it was excellent. Overall, it was a great meal experience and will definitely come back. Hint - It is a verybusy location and it's always packed, so try the online check in! Read more
First time in this place. We were about 35min in the waiting line which is understandable for a weekend. When seating our server... granted us with a huge smile and a cup of coffee ???? (later on when the bill came, surprise!!! $3 dollars extra) andrecommended us a few things from the menu. When the food arrived the ?food runner? was very inappropriate. The old women noteven look at us in the eyes. She just dropped the plates and left. Not even making sure that our order was okay. The server alsonever came to check up on us and just appeared afterwards to gave us the bill. Despite everything food was delicious and placeis great for brunch!!! Read more
Fantastic! Avocado in toast was super thick and creamy. Banana pancake was so delicious and full of Banana slices 10/10. Service... was fast and friendly. Read more
The food was very good. I had the avocado toast, with scrambled eggs. The avocado toast was pretty good, a good balance of both.... But the eggs were a little runny and bland. I just added salt and pepper and it turned out fine. overall this was a very greatplace with amazing service. ???? Read more
It was my first experience at this place. Honestly, I did not know its existence prior to this visit. Glad to know we have them... in South Florida. Great place for breakfast. Dish I had was a seasonal bowl with scrambled eggs, sweet potato, arugula, turkeyand avocado. I did not leave a speckle of food on that plate. Delicious. My cousin had the Eggs Benedict. Of course, a sideorder of bacon is a must. Read more
Out of all the First Watch I visited this one was the worst!! Service was lacking, food definitely wasn't what I was expecting.... I ordered a scrambled egg; received a chopped up fried egg. Asked for another scrambled egg. The server brought the eggs cookedthe same exact way!! And had the nerve to ask if this was better!! How when I asked for a scrambled egg!! As you see in the picthe egg on the right is what was brought out first. The egg on the left was brought out after my second request. Read more
