First Watch - Bradenton

Absolutely terrible... The Chicken Avocado Chop Salad was disgusting; the lettuce was slimy, and the chicken was rubbery. One star is too generous.

The fastest food delivery I've ever experienced, but it came at a price. The eggs were still runny and seriously undercooked, and the vegetables were raw. It's disappointing because First Watch is usually excellent. The juice was mostly beet—99% beet, with no orange, pineapple, or turmeric. I don’t want to just drink beet juice; if I did, I would just buy that. Please improve your quality; I spent $65 on breakfast only to be let down and waste my money. DoorDash offered me $5 in credit for $30 worth of inedible food, which isn't sufficient.

The Fresh Seasoned Potatoes are consistently excellent, and the eggs and bacon are just as good. However, the coffee could use some improvement. You'd be better off making an iced coffee at home than spending money on one of these.

I'm also not a fan of kiosks that automatically include a 20% tip, which doesn't properly reflect the service staff's needs for tax reporting. If you opt for this proposal, it doesn't really convey what you might intend to tip. Just a heads-up for those who appreciate the hard work of the waitstaff, especially on a busy Sunday morning. They take care to prepare your meals thoughtfully. Overall, the service and branding remain consistent, and while it may be somewhat overpriced, the food is genuinely very good.

We always take a look at the new menu. This time, we both ordered the owl dish, and it was delicious. The coffee, as usual, was really good. However, we didn't enjoy the pecan caramel bun; it was too sweet for our taste.
