Is First Watch legit?
LegitYou can count on First Watch being the real thing, a breakfast and brunch chain that cooks to order and closes at 2:30 every afternoon, hence the crowded weekend mornings. A wrong order is easier to put right with your receipt in hand, since a refund request asks for the check number.
What we checked
- Founded in California in 1983
- Head office in Bradenton, Florida
- Listed on Nasdaq since 2021
Watch out for
- A long weekend wait even after joining the waitlist in the app.
- A gift card balance that will not load or show up in your account.
- A problem at a franchise-owned restaurant, which a separate operator runs rather than First Watch itself.

How do I complain to First Watch corporate?
To complain to First Watch corporate, write to the head office in Bradenton, Florida; the full address is in the contact details at the top of this page. Give the restaurant, the date and time of the visit, the order or receipt number, what went wrong and the outcome you want, such as a refund or a corrected charge.

What can I do about a First Watch gift card problem?
For a First Watch gift card problem, such as a balance that is wrong or a card that will not load, send a gift card question through the web form on the First Watch contact page. Give the card number, where and when the card was bought, the amount loaded and what happens when you try to use it, and attach a photo of the card and the proof of purchase.
If the card was bought from another retailer, keep that receipt as well, because it shows the date and the amount paid. Do not throw the card away until the balance is sorted out.
