Other Characteristics

• Good for breakfast/brunch
• Good for kids
• Good for lunch
• Good selection of healthy options

I got ill. Not glutened. I think maybe MSG? I will say I never eat out or processed food so it's totally my fault. Not eating here again.

Looks like lots of good things on the menu for those who tolerate wheat. The manager did not know what was in any of their foods. Only choices for lunch is salad with oil and vinegar. Do not order ANY of the salad dressings or soups.

Celiac friendly?

No

awesome food and very knowledgeable staff. they do not use pancake batter in their omelettes so the selection for gf is vast. the potatoes are also safe and delicious

To start off, I have been to First Watch many times with and without my family (who eat gluten-free), and every single time the staff has been accommodating and very friendly.

They have plenty of gluten-free breakfast options with foods that are inherently gluten-free (eggs, bacon, fruit, etc.). You can substitute any bread on the menu for gluten-free bread, including the french toast! They always ask if you have a gluten allergy to make sure the kitchen accommodates you.

I am bummed. Food was delicious but my stomach is paying bad. I told the server I was extremely allergic to gluten and she seemed understanding. I shouldn't have came here. ☹ it's things like this that make me never feel safe eating out. I know there is a warning with it being a chain but at other locations I haven't had a problem.

My daughter has Celiac and I’m gf. They prepare allergy meals in a separate area of the kitchen. She ordered gf French toast and it came out seperately and marked. Our server was very knowledgeable, but others there were not. It has now been a couple of hours since we went and my daughter and I both feel good with no signs of being glutened.

They are very considerate when I order gluten free bread for toast and inform them of my allergies. I'm sure other locations might be less kind but this one is great.

Cross contact is possible I'm sure, but I believe they car enough to make some effort

Other Characteristics

• Good for dairy-free

Decent brunch food. Whenever I mention gluten free they know what I'm talking about and seem to be careful. I feel a bit rushed though, they usually give us the check before we're halfway done with the food.
