First Watch Menu with Prices and Calories

The First Watch menu runs breakfast, brunch and lunch off one board, closing well before any dinner rush. Egg dishes, omelets and griddle plates fill most of the morning side, while salads, sandwiches and a full juice bar carry it into the afternoon.

Every item below carries a calorie figure and a dollar figure for one plate at its listed size. Seven sections cover the full First Watch menu, from Classic Favorites through the Juice Bar.

First Watch Menu Prices and Calories

The First Watch menu spans breakfast, brunch and lunch on one board, split into seven sections rather than a separate menu for each daypart. Egg dishes, omelets and griddle plates anchor the morning side, while salads, sandwiches and the juice bar carry the board into the afternoon. Sections below follow the board roughly the way a server would talk a table through it.

First Watch Classic Favorites

Classic Favorites gathers the best-known hash and egg plates on the First Watch menu in one place. Farmhouse Hash and Parma Hash both run 750 and 730 calories, the heaviest pair on this short list. The Traditional pairs eggs any style with a choice of meat and toast at a gentler calorie count.

First Watch Egg-Sclusives

Egg-Sclusives covers sandwiches, tacos and a benedict built around a poached or fried egg. Chickichanga carries the highest calorie count on the list at 900, wrapped and griddled rather than served open-faced. The Elevated Egg Sandwich runs cheapest of the four.

First Watch Omelets & Frittatas

Omelets & Frittatas folds cheese, chorizo and roasted vegetables into eggs four different ways. Chile Chorizo Omelet carries the highest calorie count of the group at 720. Frittata Rustica runs the gentlest calorie count while sharing the same price as The Works Omelet.

First Watch From the Griddle

From the Griddle runs through French toast, pancakes and a Belgian waffle. Banana Granola Crunch Pancakes carries the highest calorie count on the list at 660. Blueberry Pancakes and the banana version both share the lowest price here, well under the French toast and waffle plates. A pancake stack from this list is also what regulars build into an off-menu bacon add-on.

First Watch Healthy Options

Healthy Options keeps calorie counts under 600 across all four plates. Steel-Cut Oatmeal runs both the lowest calorie count and the lowest price on the list, at 320 calories. Avocado Toast and the Power Wrap share the same price at the top of this section.

First Watch Salads & Sandwiches

Salads & Sandwiches groups four lunch-ready plates built around chicken, kale and roast beef. Every item on this list runs the same flat rate, with Monterey Club Sandwich carrying the highest calorie count at 690. Superfood Kale Salad runs lowest on calories.

First Watch Juice Bar

Juice Bar covers three fresh-pressed pours rather than bottled options. Morning Meditation carries the highest calorie count of the three at 160. Cold-Squeezed Orange Juice runs the highest price on this short list despite carrying the fewest calories.

First Watch Hours

First Watch keeps a fairly consistent weekly schedule across most US locations, closing well before any dinner rush. Doors open at 7:00 AM daily. Closing time holds at 2:30 PM across the whole schedule, since the chain runs breakfast, brunch and lunch only. Individual locations can vary the schedule by half an hour in either direction.

First Watch Locations

First Watch operates 665 restaurants across 33 states, split between company-owned and franchise-owned locations. Company-owned restaurants make up the larger share of the estate by a wide margin. Every location keeps the same daytime-only hours. The table below breaks down the current restaurant count.

What to Expect Inside a First Watch

Every First Watch opens into a dining room built for breakfast and brunch traffic rather than an evening crowd. A juice bar runs along one side of most locations, pressing fresh juice to order rather than pouring from a bottle. Servers carry the same seven-section board from Classic Favorites through the Juice Bar, whatever the hour.

Seasonal dishes rotate onto that board roughly every quarter, most visibly each autumn. A scratch kitchen keeps hash, eggs and pancakes moving out the window at any point before the 2:30 PM close. Milk, soy, wheat and egg get marked against nearly every plate on the item-by-item allergen breakdown for guests checking a specific allergy.
