Very busy, but very professional staff who get you in and out quite efficiently. Order the crepe eggs -- definitely memorable and delicious, and with this hybrid breakfast dish you'll be wondering what hit the skillet first, the crepe or the egg? There is a whole lineup of healthy breakfast dishes that isn't just a list of yogurt parfaits...score! Love that you can take your coffee to go at the end of the meal. read more

First Watch - Crepegg (crepe and egg swirled into one yummy thin pancake). Note the English muffins come pre-buttered here - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

My favorites are the Million Dollar Bacon - thick cut with a little kick and Chicken Quinoa pesto bowl. I usually have this without feta and add avocado instead. A nice lunchtime treat that doesn't make you feel gross and unable to work the afternoon. read more

I went to First Watch Sunday morning a little before 10. Used the feature in yelp to join the waitlist and didn't even wait 5 minutes after checking in with the hostess before our table was ready. The server had a fresh pot of coffee in hand when he came to introduce himself. When I eagerly told him I did indeed want coffee, he left the whole pot for me! The mug on the table was big, and the coffee was great. We were obviously off to a good start. The menu is a bit long, with a lot of good options (quite a few interesting vegetarian options too). I decided on the market skillet hash - described as potatoes, vegetables, and cheese with eggs on top. The carrot cake pancake seemed too good to pass up, so I ordered one of those as well. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious. I don't know what bread they use for their toast, but it was thick and seedy, and the jam that came with it was fantastic. The skillet was tasty and cheesy. The pancake was delicious as well, with coconut, pecans, and raisins complimenting the carrot cake flavor. The presentation was an added bonus, as the plates were pretty, the fruit/jam in cute little metal bowls, etc. In the end our breakfast was a tiny bit pricey; two entrees, a pancake, and coffee came to about $30. That being said, I can't really complain as it was all delicious and the service was great. Another thing - the decor and atmosphere is perfect here. It was bright and clean and I could have sat and enjoyed my coffee all morning. I will definitely be returning! read more

Great overall experience! I enjoyed the atmosphere, service and the food. Despite how busy it was, we were sat immediately.

Love this location that is in a cute mall in Dublin. Everything on thr menu that I've tried was yummy, including their pancakes, french toast, trifactor, and bowls. The only downside is that they don't offer a variety of coffee menu like latte. I would recommend checking in online to reserve your place in line if you plan on visiting on a weekend! read more

Not bad, healthier option. Went with the avocado toast with eggs over easy and added salmon and mushrooms. Everything was great, food was fresh and service was great as usual. 10 am great time to go during the week for a work meeting/brunch. Definitely order again. read more

The slowest service of my life. Come prepared to sit waiting for two hours. Pomegranate pear punch was delicious.

Oh my god. Literally amazing. The food is so delicious and there is never too much of a wait.

Horriblble experience! It took 45 minutes for 2 sandwiches. Definitely not living up to their promise of distinguishing themselves of being super fast. Very disappointed!! read more

Bunless turkey burger in top of roasted potatoes & side salad. Flavors were good, but a little disappointed with the side salad, considering I paid extra for it. It was practically all leaves. But all in all, a good experience. Love the bottomless coffee & attentive service. read more

The last few times I've came for breakfast have been very poor due to the customer service. The communication was very weak, they were surprisingly clumsy, and forgetful. There was no attempt to connect or try to personalize the experience. The saving grace here is the great food and the good vibe that is consistently on point. read more

We've visited this location a few times. Usually on weekdays. We never had a wait at that time. But we recently went on a weekend day and the wait was long. My best advice is to go early or late. We went around 11am and waited close to 30-35 mins Staff was friendly, location is clean& well kept. Love that they have complimentary coffee in the waiting area. That's a huge plus. Food is always delicious, no complaints there. However I do wish they gave more bacon w/ a meal. 2 slices isn't enough for an adult especially one w/ a hefty appetite. Can you please make it 3 or 4 slices. Haha! Also I wanna add that I don't like pancakes. I never make, buy or eat them at home unless it's for someone else. This is the ONLY restaurant that I will order pancakes from and I eat the whole thing. I suggest giving the chocolate chip pancakes a try next time you go. read more

We went to First Watch for the first time, using gift cards that had been given to us. Nearly every table was occupied (which was a good sign), and our wait was less than 5 minutes for a table for three. My first impression was that this is a restaurant with a focus on healthy, fresh breakfast options. I ordered the Belgian waffle, which came with fresh maple syrup and blueberry sauce on the side. I also ordered a scrambled egg with home fries (pan fried potatoes). The food was well-seasoned and delicious. We also had freshly squeezed orange juice (no pulp) and two of the signature drinks, one with kale and the other with ginger, beet juice and turmeric. The drinks had a fresh, pure taste, with no graininess. I loved them both! This is a really great place for fresh food and healthier options. We will definitely become regulars at this location! read more

Starting our wait list placement on line while enroute was the smartest thing we could have done! We waited maybe 10 minutes for the friendliest, best service and very good food. We both ordered the trifecta. I with scrambled eggs, multigrain pancake and bacon while he had over easy eggs, Belgian waffle and sausage with a side of potatoes. We can't forget the fabulous coffee either! What a wonderful brunch experience! Highly recommend read more

We don't have First Watch in VA, and every time I'm in OH, I seem to eat breakfast there. They have a large menu and lots of updated items, many with a Southwest/Mexican twist. Many with avocado. Honestly, it's just okay. I've certainly had better. I probably enjoy IHOP better, but I always come back. So does everyone else, apparently because this place stays busy. I liked the fresh juice drinks, though the nutritional content isn't provided. Was the kale juice really healthy, or was it loaded with sugar? read more

Awesome brunch. A bit of a wait but well worth it. They had coffee in the waiting area which was a nice touch. Good menu with variety and gluten free options. The chickichanga is great! Highly recommend and will come back. read more

The service was fast. I ordered the tri-fecta, particularly the cranberry nut pancake, 2 turkey sausage links, and two eggs. The entree was good. Unfortunately, I expected more pecans. This First Watch restaurant was the largest of three I have ever visited. read more

Great breakfast place in Dublin, OH. I usually order the eggs Benedict or one of their omelets. My wife and kids also like the pancakes, especially the granola banana pancakes. The side sausages are excellent and we usually order one for the table. There is a long line on the weekend mornings, but it moves fast and we are usually seated within 10-15 mins. I'm not a big coffee drinker so can't comment on that, but the teas they have are quite ordinary. The service is good, generally pleasant and efficient. The prices are reasonable. In my opinion, it's one of the best breakfast place in the greater Columbus area. I like the food on northstar cafe a bit more, but don't like the cafeteria style dining there. read more

My favorite chain breakfast spot in Columbus. Reasonably priced & staff is usually friendly. Ingredients seem high quality and food always tastes fresh read more

Not sure why such the low ratings . This place is consistently good, and many healthy options. Nice alternative to Bob Evans... Server was prompt and friendly at this location, coffee was always full. Prices are reasonable for the Organic menu items and cage free eggs. Seasonal menus also help to mix up the breakfast monotony.. read more

We spent three hours here waiting for breakfast. We put out names in and showed up at the reservation time and then waited another 45 minutes.. after being told we were "next in line". Once we ordered we waited another 50 minutes for our food.... for breakfast food. There were no explanations and no apologies. Literally wasted an entire day trying to get breakfast. read more

My husband and I had the best waiter and best breakfast! Love the healthier options. I like the juice blends. Their pancakes are amazing. We ordered eggs Benedict and the Lemon ricotta pancakes to split. NOT the healthiest options but it was for his birthday breakfast!!! The house coffee is brewed perfectly and really is enjoyable!! We couldn't of asked for a better time or food! read more

Hands down the best breakfast I had in years!! I ordered the Mexican street corn hash (limited time menu item) and my taste buds exploded with flavor. As soon as the first bit hit my mouth, I was floating on cloud nine. The savory eggs, avocado, chorizo, and potatoes hit the perfect spot. The service was fabulous, restaurant was incredibly clean, and service was timely. My kids loved their food as well they had pancake and the waffle. 12/10 best breakfast experience in years. I've eaten here before and it was good but this was exceptional. read more

Quick service. Throughly enjoyed the food here. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly. Not too runny with a beautiful home presentation. Large amount of chipped ham all on a French bread. You can tell that there are some customers that are locals and servers all new by first name. A very welcoming feel that you don't see too often. read more

Horrible experience. A regular customer for years but will not be back. Our 5-10 min wait turned into over 45 min (that's when we left). My 83 year old mother should waiting out in the cold because they kept saying 5 min. They constantly lied to us. I wouldn't have had an issue if they were honest with us. No integrity. read more

Actually pretty good! I saw it as a sponsored option, but gave it a try. Their decor is pretty posh, and the food taste good. Coffee is great! read more

This place has gone downhill . The service is awful . The wait line is confusing and there was a really rude waiter today who basically scolded me ,my 82 year old mom and my 19 month old because we went to the booth before it was clean . I can understand what he means but my mom and child needed to sit down . Also it was the way the guy said it .. so rude demeaning and condescending. I'll never be back ! It's a shame bc it used to.Be one of our go to places ! read more

We have been going here for years and this time was a horrible experience. We checked in at 10:30 and were told it would be 15-20 minutes until seated. It was 40 minutes and the another 40 before our half our food came out. By the time the remaining food came out the others were done eating. They are having a ton of to go orders being done and we were told its an overwhelming amount so the people in the restaurant are waiting ridiculous amounts of time. Not sure how the waitresses are even making a living! Until they figure out how to "manage " better we will not be back! You can't blame this one on covid. Control your restaurant!!!! read more

Excellent breakfast and brunch restaurant! Great tasting food and service! The food is delicious and they have fresh pressed juice!

First Watch has great food and offers prompt service. The Dublin location recently freshened up the look of the space and it had made a big difference! The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that the check-in/wait to be seated/pay experience is absolutely horrible. All of these things are done in the same space, in the smallest front entry way right off the kitchen. The design is the worst I can possibly imagine. It is the worst way to get greeted into a restaurant and makes your initial experiences incredibly unpleasant... and then of course, you have to end your experience the exact same way. While I appreciate the recent remodel effort, I really wish they would have invested the money in fixing this part of the experience instead. read more

It is uncommon that every member of our family enjoys the same restaurant. We had breakfast for the first time today and everyone was delighted. Belgian waffles were a hit, avocado toast on point, Bacardi did not disappoint. My mother is raving about the kale tonic! read more
