Mitch was our server and he was superlative! I have travelled around the world from London, Paris, Tripoli-Libya, Baghdad-Iraq, Kabul-Afghanistan, and Anchorage- Alaska and Mitch and First Watch here in Cary, NC was the best service provider we have had! Absolutely superb, professional, kind, respectful, and dedicated to the store! The food at first watch is exceptional, but we come here for great food and excellent service! Never disappointed!Kid-friendliness: Mitch treated my 13 and 10 year olds like young adults and respectfully!

The staff is exceptionally courteous, and the ambiance is wonderfully laid-back. Our server, Harmony, was so kind and made sure to check on us frequently. Excellent service and delicious food! This is by far the best First Watch location I've visited in the Triangle.

Lauren, our server, promptly brought us our first cup of coffee and took our orders. The food arrived faster than we anticipated and was prepared just the way we like it. The Million Dollar Hash was exceptional, although the portion of kale was a bit excessive.

I had the Tri-Athlete, and it was delicious. Our waiter was superb! He was patient with changing menu choices in our group of older ladies, and he went the extra mile to find out what brand of whole grain bread they used for my toast. It was wonderful. He even checked to find out if I could purchase a loaf. We had a great experience.
