First Watch is first on the list for traditional breakfast fare in Charleston. The place is always crowded - but the line moves fast due to an efficient staff. Everything here is fresh, and put together well. Breakfast and lunch only - and about the only time I'd say to say away is right after church ends on Sunday. My...

We decided to eat breakfast here because of all the great reviews and it did not disappoint. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We walked in and were seated immediately. Our server did an excellent job. She brought a carafe of coffee to us upon being seated. We liked their menu because it had a variety of healthy choices....

This place is clean and bright. They had so many interesting dishes, especially for such a small town. The coffee was wonderful and the people were nice.

First Watch is located in downtown Charleston. It is always busy especially on weekend mornings. The food is very good with a nice variety. Lots of healthy selections, great sandwiches, salads, soups, fresh fruits. Love the muffins that come with breakfast selections! They usually list their specials on a blackboard located behind the registers.

We've been here a few times after church. The wait on Sunday morning is always pretty long. If you're willing to wait, the food is great. If you like hot chocolate, you MUST order one. They are unlike any other hot chocolate you've ever had.

They are very popular and offer excellent food. There is usually a wait to get seated but it is worth it. I love their roast turkey sandwich.

Stopped in here for a quick lunch after touring the capital. We sampled soup, salad and sandwich and all were good although the dressing on salad was a little too heavy. I suggest if ordering a salad to request dressing on the side.

My wife and I work and don't go out for breakfast much, but we enjoy occasional weekend visits to First Watch. Unless you go early, it can get busy. During the week, there is usually a wait if you go right at noon. There is a good variety of choices on the menu, including some nice choices on the healthy...

First Watch is overall the most overrated chain in America. I don't really have anything particularly good or bad to say about it. Very white bread.

Stopped in for brunch on a Sunday as we were passing through town. Waited about 20 minutes at noontime; not bad. Felt a little underdressed compared to the usual crowd! Large menu with lots of variety. Gluten free menu available - always a plus. Bright, clean restaurant; fast and friendly service from our waitress Hannah. Food was quick, attractive, and...
