I thought breakfast at First Watch was pretty good, although I'm not quite sure what all the hype is about. I had one of the healthy breakfast choices, which was good enough. Next time I'll choose one the crepes, I think. Although I'm not a coffee drinker, apparently having your own pot at the table is a big plus for those who do drink it. The service was a tad slow when I was there on a weekday morning, but overall it was a good experience.

There's a good reason why there's always a wait at this First Watch--consistently great food. This national chain of breakfast/lunch diners uses high quality ingredients in its tasty menu items. But be prepared to build up an appetite waiting for a table.

Every meal I've ever had here has been delicious, but for the sake of brevity, I'm only going to mention my favorite breakfast and lunch choices. The turkey dill crepe is filled with smoked turkey, mushrooms, and Monterey Jack cheese, topped with diced tomatoes, hollandaise sauce, and dill. Rich and creamy, this decadent breakfast dish is not for the calories conscious, but is well worth the splurge. It's accompanied by an English muffin and First Watch Potatoes, the eatery's baked version of home fries.

For lunch, I'm a huge fan of the turkey burger, which is far more juicy and flavorful than any other version I've ever tried elsewhere. Served with marinated salad (so delicious), a fruit cup, and First Watch Potatoes, this burger won't ever make you ask "Where's the beef?"

I'm inclined to give First Watch five stars because their food is consistently yummy and I don't even mind the wait. It's just the waiting area that I have a problem with. Only tiny bench in front of the counter (which is always packed with customers trying to pay) is designated for waiting patrons. The entrance is so crowded that people are actually elbow to elbow with each other as they wait for a table. Not too pleasant on a hot, sweaty summer day.
