Default First Watch

First Watch has been open for the better part of a week and no reviews yet. Looking for some input. How about it if you've been there.

Smile Great Experience

First Watch is known for excellent service, interesting menu and great dining experience. We had brunch there last Thursday and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were not surprised that the place was full with a 15 minute wait. Although they had not advertised, word of mouth was certainly working for them. A bit small compared to many of their other locations. I suspect we can expect other locations in The Villages over time.

We both had the eggs bendedict. As Gracie stated in an earlier post, they were sensational with ample coffee (they leave the pot on the table and a ptcher of water if you wish).

Drove by there this AM at about 9:30. At least 20 people waiting outside. I peeked in the window before opening and it has a large seating area. It would seem they are doing something right.

I guess I will wait for the crowd to cool down.

But if it is really crowded, there is always Denny's across the parking lot.

Spanish Plaines. The easiest landmark would be off of 27/441 across from Lowes.

Went there for brunch this morning. Had a 5min. wait. Service was prompt & good. Had the egss Benedict florentine. It was good, but honestly think they are better at L'il Bits. Husband had the works & son had another kind of omelet. They were both pretty happy. I would go back & try it for lunch.

Ate breakfast there Labor Day morning. A slight wait as expected. Food and service was fine. It's on my list of good places to eat. Prices were typical.

My wife and I have eaten there for the past three mornings and the food and the service has been excellent.

My only complaint is that some First Watches serve (Turkey) Sausage Gravy and Biscuits and it is not on the menu at this store--it is my favorite breakfast! The manager said it might be on their next menu, but that might be a while.

If any of you are on Facebook, you can go to the First Watch page, "like" the page, and receive coupons for "buy-one, get one free" and a free breakfast on your birthday.

Thanks Cappy for the info about their Facebook page ! Loved First Watch in Tampa. We go to the Subway that is right there also, planning to try FW soon as crowds thin out and before the snowbirds arrive.
