Reviews
First time here. Party of 5. Was sat immediately. The host was very nice. Food was good. Fresh juice was delicious. Atmosphere was comforting. Server not so hot. Overall good vibe. Would recommend.
This place is an excellent choice for brunch. While the service may not be exceptional, it is consistently solid and reliable. The food, on the other hand, is consistently delicious every time we visit.
One aspect that adds to the overall experience is the availability of fresh juices, which are particularly enjoyed by my kids.
What makes this place even more appealing is the ease of access and minimal wait times for seating. It's usually quite convenient to get in and find a table. However, on busier days when the brunch crowd is thicker, it's a good idea to join the waitlist online to ensure a smooth experience.
First Watch is my favorite breakfast spot in Birmingham! I’ve never gotten anything I didn’t love here. I tried the AM Superfoods Bowl for the first time recently and was so impressed. I’ve been craving it ever since I got it! Service is consistently good. Nothing over the top, but the staff is nice and does their job well.
First time visiting this location, but not my first time eating at First Watch. Maybe today was just a bad day, but nonetheless it was a BAD DAY. Food was great, service awful! We ordered the Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl, the Avacado Toast and the Farmstand Breakfast Tacos. We waited almost 15 minutes for someone to visit our table once we were sat, another 10 minutes to receive water. Waited a long time for refills, and when the food was delivered 1 entree was missing. My boyfriend was almost done with his entrees before my entree arrived. I won't come back to this location anytime soon.
I SO want to like this place. My first three experiences were in Hoover after they bought out the Egg and I. Restaurant was nice, menu looked great, food presentation was great but the actual food itself was just mediocre. A couple of years ago, my new hubby and I tried it again. He felt the same as me. Fast forward several years later. Mom and I were near First Watch in Vestavia so we went. Beautiful restaurant, menu looked great, server was awesome, presentation was excellent. I we so excited, i was texting my husband really believing I would love it. Then I ate it and it was just mediocre. I just really like Another Broken Egg and other high end breakfast places much better. I told my daughter that night when I went home where we went and she seriously said, “I always think I’m going to like it because it looks so good but it’s just mediocre. “. I have no good explanation! But I think I finally give up trying to love First Watch.
The food was fresh and delicious. We got lucky and there was no wait. Our waitress could have been more attentive. The purple haze was sweet but it was good! I was very happy with my experience!
Evelin was our server, and she was awesome. We had a party of 5, and we were well taken care of. The food and drinks were filling and even had to-go boxes. The atmosphere was family and kid friendly. It is a perfect place for a girls' brunch. I love it 😀
Had brunch here with my girlfriends and we had a blast! The hist and waitress were very welcoming and didn’t mind us staying for a while. The ambience in this location beats all others I’ve been to, and the food (salmon frittata and a Bloody Mary) was delicious!
