Reviews for First Watch in Sarasota, FL
My favorite place par excellence for my breakfasts. The most important thing is that my wife does not consume sugar and in this... place she eats like at home. Read more
We have been coming to this location for many years. That is why we decided to come here for our son?s baptism brunch. There is... a small room off to the side of the main restaurant which seats about 30 guests. It was absolutely perfect! We were able to comein the day before and set up some decorations, they were so accommodating to our party! When we arrived the day of ourcelebration we had such amazing service, I feel awful as I do not remember our server?s name! She was fantastic! Our food cameout so quickly and everything was delicious! We let our guests order off of a limited menu of four entrees, Floridian Frenchtoast, chicken chimichanga, avocado toast and elevated egg sandwich. Everything came out fast and cooked perfectly, our guestswere extremely happy!! I highly suggest dining here and we will forever be grateful for such a great experience for ourcelebration and for all the wonderful meals we have shared here as a family! Read more
The barbacoa quesadilla was delicious with 2 good poached eggs and a lime hollandaise! Only thing that could be better is the... doneness on the breakfast potato. Great service. Read more

A secret wonder! Eat here for breakfast (-ish)! This little place is locally owned and is only open until 2. (Edit - Turns out... it's a big chain! I found one just down the street from me in Virginia!) The food was really excellent. The service was alsoexcellent. So it's a "breakfast restaurant." Which means brunch, too. In addition to the usual breakfast dishes, there aresandwiches and stuff. Didn't look, because I wanted coffee! And eggs, etc. We had to wait about 20 minutes, although the diningroom didn't look that full. COVID, maybe? They had outdoor seating that looked lovely. The waitress was just super, nocomplaints at all. The biggest surprise was a dish I didn't order, but I sampled it. A lot. They have 3 different hash dishesyou can choose. We got the Farmhouse Hash, and I highly recommend this. Potatoes, with bacon, cheese, roasted tomatoes andavocados. Then two eggs on top of all that. It was really good. It's in a retail strip center, not super obvious. Parking isgood, no problems. Highly recommended. Read more
It was great location since we were heading to the botanical garden. We went during brunch hour but had breakfast. The pancakes... is bigger than you would expect. It was delicious the lemon was nice and soft not to strong. We ordered potatoes since theydidn't have hash brown but it was equally amazing, great flavor and seasonings. The bacon was nice and sticky it was like candybacon but more mild which was perfect for breakfast. The breakfast tacos was amazing. Juicy and a hint of spicy if you notice itwhich was the sausage. Everything was amazing. When we come to vacation definitely coming back! Read more
First Watch is a great restaurant. This was the first time we came to this location just because we were shopping nearby but we... were very surprised with how large this one is. There are lots of tables and they sat people pretty far apart to keep everyonesafe. There's a few tables outside too which is nice. We were very impressed. The staff wore masks and were very kind and ofcourse the food was excellent - if you haven't been to one you should try as we've always loved it. Read more
Okay food, poor service. We waited over 30 minutes for the food to come out. Our waitress walked by us multiple times and did... not check on us. Wait would?ve been okay if the food was exceptional but mediocre food. I informed staff that we are leaving tojust get food from across the street then they brought it out a few minutes later. Manager came to speak with us and wasprofessional about the whole thing. It was a busy Saturday morning and they told us they were understaffed. That sounds like amanagement/scheduling issue and not a good reason for poor service. Tell customers what?s going on and check on them instead ofignoring them. I did not think the food was that good tbh even though I was famished. Pumpkin pancake was meh (see pic below)and they forgot the syrup on the side. Read more
