Reviews for First Watch in Royal Oak, MI
We always have a great meal at First Watch. I enjoy the bread and the coffee. This location has struggled with staffing in the... past as everyone has, but it's just a matter of having some patience. Read more
I checked in online and was immediately seated. It took the wait staff over 10 minutes to bring water. I ordered the power... breakfast bowl. Although the flavors were good, it was totally unexpected that I received a tiny piece of kale. It wasdisappointing. But as I was writing the review a side plate of kale was delivered. Happy the kitchen corrected this. And thekale tonic drink is amazing! Read more
Great food and great service! This is a very popular spot for brunch, and since it was a Sunday afternoon, my friends and I had... to wait a bit to get a table even with an online reservation. However, the friendly and quick service more than made up for it.Our waitress went above and beyond to make our visit pleasant, and she was much more personable than any waitress I've ever hadat any restaurant. The food and drinks were delicious. I'll be sure to come here again when I'm in the area. Highly recommend! Read more
The food here is amazing. The environment very energetic and lovely. The staff helpful and friendly.
Finally! This is my first time being here. The last time I was here we had no reservation and the wait was 2hrs. But this was... not the first time eating their food. My wife and kids brought home some leftovers and it was good. Because of our reservationthe wait was only 5min. Please reserve a table !!! The menu is simple but they do expose you to many different types ofbreakfast options. Don't expect to see your normal stuff. Everything on the menu is hyped and glorified. Nicely done to make youfeel like your breakfast is going to be spectacular. In some ways, yes. If you order the right food. I chose the "eggsBenedict blt", which can be very good if done right. Excellently cooked! It was right on! My wife had the "traditionalbreakfast " Highly recommended. Read more

Stopped here to take a zoom call and figured I would check out the menu. Even though they were short staffed, the customer... service was great and the food was excellent. Read more
Not sure if this was just a bad day or if it?s a bad location, but I certainly wouldn?t give this place another chance. We have... always been happy with the service and quality at other First Watch locations. I ordered the avocado toast. As you can see fromthe photos quite a bit of the avocado came out brown. There were other parts of it that were so hard I had to spit out. The eggsthat came with the avocado toast were a bit undercooked for over easy, and were put on the plate with extra water. There wasalso no garnishes like in the advertised photos of the food. The bacado omelette was served with the mealiest amount of sourcream which we requested more of and a very tiny piece of brown avocado. The eggs in the omelette were so over cooked they had aweird hard texture. After we finished we pointed out that we weren?t super happy with our meal. We showed her how on the platewhere there would normally be egg yolk remanents there was just a pool of water. She said that the chef must have put a lot ofbutter on them. The eggs did not have any butter and it was most definitely water. When we mentioned the omelette and just beingunhappy in general about the quality today and the fact that we have been happy with other locations she said she would let hermanager know. Instead of doing that she came back with the check and said we could let the manager know when we brought up ourcheck. We told her it wasn?t a big deal if he didn?t want to talk to us and we would just leave a review instead. If the managercan?t take responsibility and doesn?t have time for a complaint, it definitely is not a place I will be spending my money again. Read more
