First Watch - Winter Garden

Awesome food and service. One of the friendlier restaurants I do or have frequented. Very laid back and there is always something new on the menu. Parking can be a problem though, but that's like every parking lot in Florida they put in five thousand storefronts and ten parking spots, lol.

I eat here almost once a week. The value for price is the best in the area. Food is good, and I feel it’s fairly priced. Most places cannot boast both of those at the same time.

I 've eaten at this specific First Watch location a handful of times, as well as a few others in the general Orlando area over the years.Food, overall exceptional!! I 've only tried maybe 3 4 different dishes, in more than at least a dozen visits in total, simply because I 've found a couple of the standard menu dishes I really love, and are hard to beat... incidentally, for me, the Farmer 's Hash, 3 eggs (that 's 1 extra egg for anyone not familiar with it, and recently, sometimes with smoked salmon added a server suggestion, and a really nice touch.So let 's talk food quality Unbelievably fresh and flavorable, quality ingredients each and every time!! And super generous portions (at least of everything I 've ever tried . And prices are completely reasonable (and not so highly overpriced like so many places, especially for unique, quality ingredients . Flavor cannot be beat, and I 've eaten at TONS of breakfast/brunch places over the years!Love that they offer flavored iced teas, in which the flavoring (which is sweetened can be added to UN sweetened black tea base, at least to lessen the sugar over already sweetened iced tea. The menu here is ridiculous always enticing, and never disappoints, especially in execution from the kitchen AND wait staff always friendly and helpful.Ok, despite my rave... a few critiques... some applicable to ALL First Watch locations. Not everyone wants to sit on a rock hard bench/chair. Only some of the booths have slightly padded seating, but with rock hard backs. The rest are rock hard seats with rock hard backs... and some, a padded bench, with with a small, narrow piece of wood (literally for leaning back again. Now I 'm all for the idea of get people in and out and clear tables, but making seating uncomfortable is a big turn off. It would completely turn me away if I didn 't eat at hours that are generally less busy, and not accompanied by senior family members... just not comfortable on the back... or other parts. ; And thank you, Winter Garden management for finally wising up and getting RID of the test menu that was in place for an extended period of time, wherein, the normally included artisan toast was NOT included any longer (with the price remaining the same, of course , thinking customers might be ok with that?! Especially when all other local First Watch locations still included the incredible artisan toast? Uh, no... seemed like it was discrimination against what might be perceived as patrons of the WG location maybe being able to afford less for more , or who knows. Regardless, it 's been remedied awhile back, so kudos for that!However, that being said, they 're still trying to put small ones over on us clientele. Last 2 times I was to WG, they no longer include the small cup of fruit with the meal I dish to order. NOW it 's only included with CERTAIN dishes. To their credit, both servers I asked about it were kind enough to immediately offer to bring me my familiar, and appreciated tiny cup of fruit (seriously, there are like a few pieces of melon, a couple strawberry slices, a couple grapes, and maybe a few blueberries. I mean, come on First Watch, we realize you have to manage costs, but let 's not ruin a good thing here, and let 's definitely not sneak things in/off the menus, like your valued customers are not going to realize... that is literally nickel and diming, which NO ONE appreciates. If you have to raise prices .30 to cover the fruit, just do it! But don 't leave customers with a less than fantastic taste in their mouths (literally and figuratively by being cheap! There, I said it.All that being said, I can 't give First Watch a 5 star rating for the few, obnoxious reasons mentioned, but it definitely gets a solid 4 starts for excellent, quality, tasty and fresh food I always enjoy. It 's one of the few places, I dare say, my mouth literally waters every time I drive by (which is often, unfortunately! .Parking: Ok, not taking any points off for parking

Eggs were not as ordered (supposed to be sunnyside up and we're over easy), but service was great, the food was good and would go again!

The experience was absolutely amazing as always! We love trying new things at first watch every time. It is a noisy environment, but such a cute place to go. They offered an app to check out and pay. It was so simple and easy. Absolutely loved it. It was.Nice to just eat pay and go.
