First Watch

Had an OK brunch, but it wasn't spectacular. The food was fresh and delicious -- I will start with that very big pro. The prices aren't terrible, especially for elevated diner foods. Love their eggs benedict as well as their potatoes. The dressing that comes in the little salad accompaniment is really nice. Our server was nice enough I guess, but we felt rushed despite his saying "no rush" when bringing the bill (hate that) and the restaurant not being busy. The urgency felt meh. First Watch: What's up with the half-cup coffee pours? We are big coffee drinkers. We said it more than once and had to keep asking for more. Don't make it weird. Just keep eyes on your table and check in or ask if there's anything we need before having us wave you down for more coffee. That tiny carafe isn't bottomless and 3 people ordered coffee. No, it's not a dealbreaker, but it just felt weird how much conversation we had to have about it. Not sure I will go out of my way to come to this location. The First Watch in Worthington is cozier and friendlier.Totally spaced on photos. Sorry about that. I was just annoyed at getting more coffee lol

Great place for breakfast or lunch . Food is always good . They are always busy so need to get your name on the list. Not sure if they take reservations . Pan cakes are very large

Say what you will about chain restaurants, but this place is the real deal. Great food, great service, and and an overall great local breakfast diner feel. The place was obviously packed on a Saturday at 10a. You can call ahead and get your name on the list which is likely your best bet if you don't want to wait for 30 minutes to be seated. Lots of parking but I had to park over at the Lowe's across the street due to everybody and their mothers out getting brunch. No big deal. It's well worth it once you're being dined!

Our first time at the first watch in this location. The restaurant is nice and roomy. The food was very good. The eggs Benedict were delicious although a bit more than necessary on the runny side. The banana crunch pancake was superb. The service was very nice and friendly.

This is a cafe chain restaurant serving breakfast, brunch and lunch They have vegan options and they bill themselves as a restaurant for health-mindeddiners.I came with two guests on a Thursday around 10 am. It was very crowded but not filled to capacity. I had less than a 5 minute wait. Weekends are really crowded, I suggest checking-in online to avoid a long wait. After being seated I ordered two regular coffees ($3.79) and one Watermelon Wakeup ($5.49). You could taste the watermelon. My food order was the Steelcut Oatmeal ($8.99) (900-1130 CAL).It came with fresh berries, sliced banana, pecans, low fat milk, brown sugar and a freshly baked blueberry muffin. I mean freshly baked and delicious. My guests had the Lemon Ricotta pancakes ($11.99) and the Avocado Toast ($12.49). Both the food and service was great.There is outdoor seating with ample parking. This restaurant closes at 2:30 pm.

First Watch is not the most amazing breakfast around but they are consistently good. I've never left thinking my meal was not very fresh and well prepared. The service is always good and the never layout of this location is super cute. Absolutely love the bar area.

First watch is always a once in a while brunch place for me. It offers extensive selection from savory to sweet and a great hang out place to chill and relax with friends. Decided to try out the purple haze (cause it's pretty). It's definitely nice to look at but I still prefer the kale tonic in terms of taste. Purple haze is more on the sour side and tastes like lemonade. The smoked salmon Benedict is the only savory dish I always order. The poached egg and hollandaise sauce balance out the saltiness in smoked salmon and paired perfectly with the toast. Would definitely recommend this!

Pros:New location with plenty of parkingFast, friendly serviceFood is incredibly fresh - love the quinoa bowlsSo many juice optionsLarge, airy dining roomCons:Can get busy during lunchtime You have to pay at the counterThey forgot the biscuits I orderedPro tip:I'm not a fan of feta, so was happy when they let me sub gruyere on my chicken quinoa bowl

Had a great experience at this First Watch location at 7:30 am on Easter morning! Staff were very friendly, we were seated right away, and our server was attentive without being too much. She made a few recommendations when asked, including an encouragement to try the Purple Haze (a lavender lemonade drink) which I loved! While it was too early to order the version with alcohol I would like to come back and try it.Our meals were ready quickly, I ordered the carrot cake pancakes. They were tasty and true to a carrot cake taste. I just wish there was a cream cheese icing drizzle or something to make them sweeter as they were more savory than I expected.

It's always packed at First Watch on Sunday and this was no exception. Luckily, we had texted ahead so didn't have to wait very long. We got waited on pretty quickly and then it was a long wait for the food but that was expected since it was packed. Our orders were correct and we were both satisfied with our food. In fact, mine was delicious! I ordered the 3 tacos with black beans and they were amazing. Everything was in the right proportion and even the fresh avocado was perfect.
