We came here with a larger group (9 people) and joined the waitlist. It was a busy Sunday late morning. We were told 20-30 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 45. We knew to expect that, though. Despite it being so busy and hectic, our server was always around when we needed her and our food came out pretty quick. I ordered a BLT Benedict and it was really good! I highly recommend it. I also got the Million Dollar Bloody mary. It came with a bottle for refilling and a piece of their Million Dollar bacon. It was delicious. My kids have pretty much ordered everything off of their kids menu and have never complained. First Watch is definitely a family favorite!

Always enjoy First Watch and have visited locations in other states. It's always a good choice for breakfast or lunch. We went on a Thursday morning so it wasn't busy, but we still had great service and the staff was very attentive. I had the market veggie sandwich. It was really tasty with mushrooms, zucchini, a little pesto. Very well balanced. It came with a side salad and I also ordered a side of smoked ham. My partner had the works omelet. Which is basically what he orders every time we go here so he obviously enjoys it much! He tried the new Blue Booster juice but said he prefers the morning meditation juice after trying it. I had the Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk which I've tried before at other locations. This one tasted a little different but I couldn't quite pinpoint what was different, maybe it had more coffee?? Not sure. Still good just different from last experience.

This was my first time here, and I was impressed! From the outside, the restaurant has a modern vibe, which perfectly matches the style of the food they serve. I tried the tacos, and they were delicious and presentation was awesome. The atmosphere was sleek and contemporary, making the whole experience even better. I loved it and can't wait to come back to try another dish!

Ambiance is relaxed. I didn't notice music but it's not a place that echoes in silence. People chatted but not too loudly. The decor is modern. They have a small bar when you enter. Servers were quick and friendly. Peyton was our server and she was always doing something to set up when not needed. The food: Salmon frittata - 5 stars French toast - 5 stars Roast beef havarti sandwich - 3.5 stars. Something wasn't right. The cheese and the pickled onion clashed. It made it taste like sauerkraut. Not a kid-friendly sandwich. But it does have fresh beef and ingredients. Tomato basil soup 5 stars Broccoli cheese soup 4 stars

Came by for breakfast. Ordered the Trifecta (over medium eggs) with a side of potatoes. Plate was delicious! Even though my eggs came over hard everything was great. Bacon was cooked perfect ( i hate over cooked bacon). Pancake was warm and fluffy. Oh the syrup was warmed up too! Service was quick. The young lady came to our table several times. Very attentive. I'll definitely be returning when in Chicago.

Hey, I really enjoyed this place! Looking for breakfast and stumbled upon First Watch, a restaurant I've never heard of before. This location is pretty recently opened. The place is super clean and bright, which I like in a restaurant, and it's especially nice in the summer when it's so lovely outside. They have a really nice outdoor space as well in front of the restaurant so I'd love to dine out there sometime. The inside seems comfortable too, though. The food is great. We ordered for takeout and everyone was really pleased with their meal. I had a BLTE sandwich which was quite good. I got a side of grits for the baby to try and she was skeptical but I thought they were quite good. The million dollar potatoes were ok but a little rich; I'd probably opt for the plain potatoes next time. Similarly, the million dollar bacon was ok but not worth the upgrade IMO. They also have a really delicious drinks! I've never been much of one for a juice bar but this place may change my mind. I really like the Watermelon Wake-Up and actually went back the next day just to pick up one of those. It's super refreshing and in these super hot days it helps a lot. I know we'll be visiting First Watch again and I'd definitely recommend it to someone who was looking for a nice new brunch spot.

We were set to spend the day in downtown Chicago but first needed some breakfast to fuel the day near the hotel where our friends were staying in the O'hare area. The area around O'hare is pretty dense with chain restaurants. In my experience, though, First Watch is a solid chain for breakfast and our visit here was no exception. They were bustling with diners and we felt sure the wait would be excessive. They turn over tables quickly, however, and our party of four was able to be seated in 10 minutes. I started my dining experience with coffee which was solid. They offer flavored creamer, which is always an unexpected treat! For my breakfast, I got the smoked salmon benedict with seasoned potatoes. The eggs benny was a solid good and the seasoned potatoes were great! The service was prompt, friendly, and attentive throughout our experience.

Delicious food. Service was friendly and efficient. The million dollar potato's are so good. The parmesan sauce is like a savory gravy. Must try! Portion size was adequate. They have freshly squeezed juices as well as cocktails. I tried orange juice which was refreshing. I arrived after 11 on a Saturday and surprisingly it was not busy. The host offered me bar seating initially but I opted for a booth since the restaurant was half empty. The booths are not very comfy. The leather seats are firm and not very well cushioned. But otherwise breakfast was a good experience here.
