First Watch, the made-to-order breakfast, brunch, and lunch spot, opened a new restaurant in Carnes Crossroads on Monday, December 15. The restaurant, located at 2800 N. Main Street, brings a chef-inspired menu and rotating seasonal offerings to a 4,500-square-foot space that seats more than 170 people and features a covered patio and a bar.
First Watch is widely known for its modern take on breakfast and brunch. Dishes are made to order using fresh ingredients in a kitchen without heat lamps, microwaves or deep fryers. In addition to familiar favorites like omelets and The Traditional, First Watch’s diverse menu – which is available all day – also includes innovative dishes, such as Avocado Toast, Farmhouse Hash, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and its signature Million Dollar Bacon, as well as sandwiches and salads, including the Superfood Kale Salad.
The Carnes Crossroads team will start each morning juicing fresh fruits and vegetables to make their signature fresh juices. First Watch also brews its socially responsible Project Sunrise coffee, sourced by women coffee farmers based in South America. To celebrate the opening, customers who dine in at Carnes Crossroads on Monday, December 15 through Friday, December 19 will receive unlimited Project Sunrise coffee with their meal.
First Watch offers a revolving seasonal menu that follows the position of the sun to source fresh ingredients. The Carnes Crossroads restaurant will offer its first seasonal menu in 2026.
This restaurant will employ approximately 30 people while operating on a one-shift a day, “No Night Shifts Ever” approach that enables its teams to enjoy their evenings and build a better quality of life. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply at careers.firstwatch.com.
