First Watch Waterford Lakes - Orlando

Definitely my favorite breakfast chain. I've been to several and they have all been clean and well run with great service. The food is always fresh. Portions are huge. I love that they make real omelets and not egg scrambles with filling mixed in. The chorizo omelet is great with just a bit of heat, good amount of chorizo, avocado and cheese. And I love their potatoes. The lemon ricotta pancakes are pretty unique, delicious, and super filling. We finally got the churros and wow are they great. Better than that theme park down the road. My only wish is that they had a killer chicken salad for lunch.

My friend got the French toast and really enjoyed it. I tried the carnitas breakfast tostadas and they were amazing. I didn't need to add any seasonings. It was a little busy when we got there on a Sunday, but only waited less than 10 mins. Server was very nice. Water tastes like unfiltered FL water, so I recommend adding some lemons to improve the flavor. The menu has lots of options.

I went to this location today to try their new fall menu for breakfast. My father and I were able to sit immediately and order quickly. The options were delicious and the staff was attentive. Our server even had a pot of coffee ready when she greeted us. I don't get the chance to eat here often because of their early hours but when I can come, I am a big fan of their Farmhouse Hash. So I tried the seasonal Million Dollar Hash today. It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory with sweet potatoes, goat cheese, lemon dressed arugula and Mikes Hot Honey. The eggs were a perfect over easy and I ate every last bite. I saw some other interesting items on the fall menu that I am excited to come back to try.

A non service dog was allowed to sit inside; however, we were not allowed to sit inside with our dog. Manager was rude and seemed to disregard my concerns. The food was good but the lack attentive and empathetic service ruined the experience. Rules should not only apply to some people, it even made me wonder if it is because we are not white. Very disappointed.

Food and service were exceptional, not a place to have a conversationon the weekend it was very loud, during the week it was more reasonable.The healthy variety was outstanding and the drink selection was top notch. Looking forward to another visit
