First Watch - Tampa

The best place to go for a reasonably priced breakfast or lunch! They are the leader! I’ve also had two family members work for FW and it is a very well run business. You will NOT be disappointed.

We’ve been going to First Watch for several years and their breakfast meals have always been consistent. My favorite is the ham and gruyere omelet, which unlike omelets at your typical Village Inn or Bob Evans is not heavy and greasy. First Watch is always busy on the weekends and this location in particular usually has long waits. I took off one star only because seating and service was slower than usual. We checked in online and were given a wait time of 20-30 minutes, which ended up being 45. After being seated, it took another 30 minutes to get our food. While I understand there may be staffing issues which are the norm at many restaurants nowadays, it still is worth noting. The parking lot at this location can also be very annoying though that isn’t any fault of the restaurant.

Ordered the corned beef special with potatoes and peppers topped with 2 scrambled eggs, parmesan cheeses sauce on the side. Delicious. Would have liked a little more corned beef but other than that it was seasoned well and as always service was prompt and polite. The pomegranate drink was refreshing.

I always enjoy coming here for breakfast. You can't go wrong with the Tri-Fecta because you get the best of everything. The Belgian waffle was great and the sweet butter on top made it next level. I chose to go with bacon, pork links and scrambled eggs with cheese. The meal comes with 2 eggs and I originally thought it wouldn't be enough. With everything else you get, this is a filling option as is. Worth a try! :

Nice place and a little pricey. Good quality food. There can be wait in the morning during the weekends. In the shopping Plaza and next to publix. Good place for breakfast overall.
